The day after we got engaged I called Richie to ask what Saturdays he had open. It wasn't even a conversation with my parents or fiance on the band we were going to have. Being in the industry, I am grateful to work with wonderful vendors including other bands, but NO ONE can compete against the Catz. Everyone thinks they have a "Dancing Crowd" but not all do, unless the Catz are on your event stage. Richie, Mark, Tony, Devin and every other band member that worked with us leading up to the wedding were so amazing. The night of the wedding, I can't really put into words how INCREDIBLE this band was. With the songs we picked together and the songs they picked for us, no one wanted to sit and eat, they all just wanted to dance. With the voices up front and each musician on stage jamming out, we had a concert, a dance party and a music festival all in one. There truly isn't another band better. As a planner, I know all the details of the event, but the Catz and my husband got one past me when my new husband surprised me by singing 2 songs with the band. He had met with the band in the months before our wedding and they worked together to surprise me like no other, it was amazing! This band is the first suggestion I give to clients and the reason our wedding was so incredible. Our ceremony music was beautiful, the cocktail music was the perfect accent and as soon as the doors opened, the Catz did their thing and boy did they make us look good. People ask me all the time, was it hard to plan your own wedding and without hesitation, I say "no, I had the Chicago Catz, your music makes your party and I knew mine would be incredible." Thank you Richie and Mark and thank you to the Catz Family. You are the best at what you do and anyone who is lucky enough to have you at their wedding will be in the best hands musically. Can we do it again?!?!!? Stacy Saltzman Swislow SO Stacy Stylish Events & Complete Coordination sostacy.com
