What can I say. Richard is a wonder classical guitatist and the ceremony was elegant. His band The Palmetto Cats was jamming all night. They were able to read the crowd and played just the right music to keep the dance floor full. He is so delightful to work with... a true professional.

We are so glad that we chose Richard to play at our wedding. The music was awesome and his website was very informative, especially with the sample songs. He is very organized and the whole process was a breeze--which was most appreciated given the chaotic nature of planning everything else.

We got married in February at Walker’s Landing in Amelia Island. Our ceremony was outside. Richard did an amazing job! I am so glad that we hired the musical accompaniment. It really set the tone for the ceremony and our guests loved it. We got so many compliments on the music. We also had our uncle Brett sing along with Richard for a part of the ceremony. What an amazing special treat! I am so thankful that I chose you Richard for our wedding. On a side note, the groom’s father was 40 minutes late to the ceremony. Richard was a true professional and filled that time with his beautiful music. I truly could not have done it without you! Thank you again

If you are looking for beautiful guitar music for your ceremony and a great band for your reception. Call Richard Stratton and his band The Palmetto Cats. Richard's music is classical and elegant. Having the live music for your ceremony and reception is exciting and Richard makes it happen. I highly recommend them for all of my clients.
