Great to work with and a phenomenal band

I cannot say enough good things about Christina and her band. Before the wedding itself, she did an amazing job helping us organize what music we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour and of course the reception. She was extremely organized during this process and she made this aspect of our wedding easy to plan and stress free.

Christina and her band exceeded any expectations I had for the reception. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but the energy herself and the band brought that night was electric. We had people on the dance floor from the time they started playing until the very last song. They truly brought an element to our wedding that I'll never forget and always be grateful for. One of the highlights on our wedding night was a member of her band that played the fiddle. He absolutely killed it and was amazing to watch. If you're looking for a wedding band that will bring a great energy to your wedding and is easy to work with, I recommend Christina with the highest regard.

Incredible Band

I absolutely love Christina and her band! They performed at my son Andy and his bride Makenzi’s wedding reception. The quality of the sound, their voices, professionalism and overall interaction with them is sheer perfection. It’s talent like the Christina Kateri Band that makes bands an essential part of true entertainment. Highly, highly recommended them to everyone.

Pure magic

Christina and her team were absolutely WONDERFUL to work with and literally added pure magic to my day! When I pictured walking down the aisle, I knew music was one of the most important aspects of that moment to set the romantic tone. Boy did they deliver! So many guests raved about them and gave them so many compliments. Not only were they wonderful on the day of, Christina was wonderful during the planning portion. She was so warm and friendly yet so professional at the same time. Extremely prompt and organized, I had no issues planning the music portion of my day and it was a breeze. I highly recommend the Christina Kateri Band at your wedding!!
