“Big Ray and the Kool Kats is an AMAZING wedding band! I am in the industry as a venue Sales Director, so I hear bands several times a month, but they far exceeded my expectations for my own daughter’s wedding. They not only kept the reception party going until the very end, they provided beautiful and moving ceremony music and excellent music during our cocktail hour also. Ray connected with our family and made the whole experience very customized and personal including playing requests not on their usual playlists. I HIGHLY recommend this band both professionally and personally!!”
