Not a single person sat once the band got going.

10/10 Big Ray and the Kool Kats were the best part of our wedding. He made our day. He was respectful, professional, creative, accommodating and downright fantastic.

By in large made our night. Not a single person sat once the band got going. We received SO many compliments. Five stars across the board!

Ray went above and beyond to ensure that the band knew all of the music we wanted.

Ray was such a pleasure to work with! He was so attentive to every detail and made sure that we were happy throughout the planning process. Ray went above and beyond to ensure that the band knew all of the music we wanted. All of our wedding guests said the band was amazing (we agree too). I want to do it all again just so we can dance the night away. I can’t recommend Big Ray & the Kool Kats enough. We love this band!

As a wedding planner myself, I have heard and worked with a lot of different bands, and Big Ray and the Kool Kats top them all!

Big Ray and the Kool Kats are INCREDIBLE!!!! As a wedding planner myself, I have heard and worked with a lot of different bands, and Big Ray and the Kool Kats top them all! They had the dance floor packed all night long and our guests have been raving about them since our wedding in January. Ray is fantastic to work with both leading up to your wedding day and then at the actual wedding. He continuously checked in on me and my husband, as well as our parents. My parents were worried about a band being too loud, and Ray heard that concern before the wedding and honored it. No one’s ears were ringing the next day and no one was trying to escape loud music! Their playlist is extensive and their ability to put together sets is fantastic. Our outdoor send-off was impossible due to a giant thunderstorm and I was amazed watching Big Ray and the Kool Kats sing and dance our guests into a big tunnel of love for an indoor send-off. We cannot thank the band enough for making our reception entertainment dreams come true!!
