After going to countless weddings, we’ve seen our share of good bands and bad bands. The #1 thing we wanted for our wedding was a band that would keep the dance floor grooving and packed all night, play truly good music, and would send all of our guests home covered in sweat. The Chicago Catz delivered this, and more. The feedback we got from our families and guests was unanimous: The Chicago Catz are the best wedding band we’ve ever seen, hands down. They were the highlight of an incredible night. I can’t fit all the great things I have to say about the band into this review. From booking, communication leading up to the event, to the incredible party and energy they brought to our wedding, Richie and the rest of the gang were absolutely fantastic. Richie was a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer questions, offered to emcee our dinner, and made the entire process a breeze. They also learned a couple of songs for us (including our first dance by Anderson East, and the father daughter dance by Kenny Chesney– they nailed both songs, even though they aren’t the band’s typical funky style). The band absolutely brought the house down. They played for 3 hours, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. So many people told me it felt more like a concert than a wedding. They brought non-stop energy and dancing, with an incredible song selection (Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wine & Fire…), outstanding musicianship, and 10+ musicians including horns and multiple singers. There were a handful of songs and moments that my friends still rave about months later. The Chicago Catz have made lifelong fans out of my wife and I, and we have no doubt that we’ll be seeing them again at our friends weddings
