“We were delighted with your musical versatility”

“Thank you for making our 40th wedding anniversary such a success!  We were delighted with your musical versitility.  People of all ages enjoyed the music all night long.  As you know, we had a small gathering in a small room and at first, I was concerned about how loud your band would be.  But I must say, your volume was perfect.  We never had to shout to the guests at our table once!  Thank you again for helping to make our party the great success that it was.”
-Bobbie and David W. (anniversary couple)

-Tutti and Herb F. (parents of the groom)

“Several guests were joking about taking up a collection to ask you to stay longer.”

“Thank you for providing such a terrific musical atmosphere at our anniversary celebration. We received numerous compliments on music selection, quality, and “dance-ability.” And as promised, our guests were able to enjoy both the music AND each other without resorting to shouting or pantomime. Several guests were joking about taking up a collection to ask you to stay longer. In addition, we could not have asked for a more pleasant and professional manner during the planning stages.”
-Noreen and Kevin S. (anniversary couple)

“We definitely picked the right band.”

“We want to thank the Hot Cat Jazz Band from the bottom of our hearts. We definitely picked the right band for our wedding. Your efforts made it very memorable for us.

-Yukiko and Toni (bride and groom)

“We felt virtually transported back in time to the heyday of the jazz era.”

“Everyone from the octogenarians in the crowd to my twenty-four year old nephew to my five year old niece had a great time. It was beyond all expectations.”

“We’re still getting compliments on the ‘great music’ you provided at my mom’s 80th birthday party. The Hot Cat Jazz Band was the perfect choice. Everyone from the octogenarians in the crowd to my twenty-four year old nephew (music aficionado) to my five year old niece had a great time. I still love that you learned a relatively rare song for my mom – a great surprise. Thanks again. It was beyond all expectations.”
-Mary P. (daughter of birthday girl)

“…a flawless event.”

“We would like to extend our thanks to you for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding and reception music. The trumpet at the ceremony really played an important part. The reception music was equally wonderful. We had so many compliments on the music and I never thought we’d have such a great turnout on the dance floor. It was especially nice that you let my dad sing with my aunt and best friend’s mother. We also thank you for keeping the music at a very tolerable level. Our guests really appreciated being able to visit and I think it made our non-dancing guests stay longer. We thank you for adding so much to our wedding and fulfilling your obligation to help make our special day a flawless event.”
-Laura and Peter G. (bride and groom)

“You were early, set up on time, took minimal breaks and were not too loud.”

“Thank you for the excellent performance at our wedding. After hearing horror stories from other people about other bands, it was a relief that the Hot Cat Jazz Band was so professional. You were early, set up on time, took minimal breaks and were not too loud – it was everything we wanted, including our “custom” first dance song. Your music appealed to all the generations, young and old. Our guests thought very highly of the Hot Cat Jazz Band and we received many compliments on the music and song selections.”
-Peter and Claudia S. (bride and groom)

“I have been inundated with praise over your band’s performance…”

“Since our return (from our honeymoon), I have been inundated with praise over your band’s performance at our reception. Guests were able to talk without the band drowning them out. You may recall that was a huge concern of mine, particularly with the acoustics of the small room. Also, while I’m sure you did take the occasional break during the evening, I hardly remember. You never left the audience hanging, and I appreciated that. Finally, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the band’s flexibility in allowing our friend to join you so that she could serenade us.”
-John and Susan B. (bride and groom)

“Your volume was excellent, your music beautiful, and your presence understated – it was all I had hoped.”

“Thank you so much for a fabulous party. I so appreciated your careful attention to my desires for the reception and as a result it was a dream come true. Your volume was excellent, your music beautiful and your presence understated – it was all I had hoped.”
-Shirley and Fred M. (parents of the bride)

“You are pros and you show it.”

“Our 175 guests, and we, were absolutely wild for the sound of the Hot Cat Jazz Band. Soft jazz, hot jazz, cool jazz, the big band swing, rock and roll, and sentimental favorites. My dance with Molly to Sunrise Sunset was all I could ever ask for. I do not remember my feet touching the floor but do recall gliding, gliding about to such wonderful lyrics and melody. Thank you for this memory. Many things must come together to have a perfect wedding, particularly the music which sets the stage and background for the whole evening. You and your musicians provided us and our guests with the perfect musical complement to this wedding reception. You are pros and you show it. We are still receiving congratulatory notes and calls from our guests and the Hot Cat Jazz Band sound is mentioned in all of them. Unfortunately, for you and me Ross, I was blessed with only one daughter. This was our big fling. We are thrilled that the Hot Cat Jazz Band was there with us.”
-David T. E. (father of the bride)

“We could still carry on conversations.”

“Our lingering glow from Laura and Tyler’s wedding reception so much revolves around the music you provided. Laura’s comment before they headed off on their honeymoon says it all: ‘Tyler and I thought the band was the best part of the whole thing. We loved it!’ I can’t tell you how many people said you were the best wedding band they’d ever heard; this was echoed for two reasons. The versatility (of the band being able to play swing and then progressing to the great rock numbers for the hard core group that stayed until the very end, and people could carry on conversations at their tables and still listen to the music. My husband and I positioned ourselves next to the band so that he could use the microphone during the evening and we could still carry on conversations with our table guests. When guests from late 20’s to 80’s all say ‘We loved the band,’ you know you reached everyone.I would select you and the Hot Cat Jazz Band without hesitation. Both reaching you at home, anytime, and having your personal touch throughout the reception made it so personal and fun — you were like dealing with a friend.”
-Judy and Dennis C. (mother and father of the bride)

“I have never seen my father dance so much.”

“Thank you for the fabulous job you did at our reception. We have heard rave after rave about how wonderful the music was and how no one could stay in their seat. I have never seen my father dance so much, and thanks to you, I have a wonderful memory of our first dance together. Thank you again for creating such lasting memories for us to cherish as we start our married life together. You’re the tops.”
-Nancy and Matt W (bride and groom)

“All the generations and age groups of our guests were entertained.”

“Thank you so much for the fantastic job you and the Hot Cat Jazz Band did with our anniversary party. The music was well-chosen and well-performed. So many people commented on how special the music was, and we are thrilled with our choice. You and your band were a delight to work with, before and during the party. All the generations and age groups of our guests were entertained and drawn together by the music, and everything was handled so professionally. The musical entertainment you provided exceeded all our expectations. Thank you for making our special day truly special.”
-Doug and Jill S. (anniversary couple)

“People of all ages were dancing.”

“The Hot Cat Jazz Band was wonderful at my daughter’s wedding. Before and during dinner the volume of music was such that one could carry on a conversation with the people at the table. People of all ages were dancing and told us they thought the band was great. Especially appreciated was ‘Never On Sunday’ for all those in the family who don’t consider a wedding reception complete until they have danced the Sailors’ Dance. Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding reception such a great success. I’m more than happy to recommend the Hot Cat Jazz Band to anyone.”
-Joan B. (mother of the bride)

“And oh, did I mention perfect?”

“I’ve known you for a long time and I think I can be frank about my wedding, and the Hot Cat gentlemen in particular. Great, perfect, fabulous, swingin’, soulful, atmospheric, stratospheric, s’wonderful, evanescent, ineffable, in tune, in time and oh, did I mention perfect?. You know I don’t gush easily, so please take this as my heartfelt thanks to you and the guys for the thoroughly professional and eminently musical experience, from the first phone call to the last note of the evening. My bride wholeheartedly agrees. She only wishes we could have danced all night!.”
-Steve O. (groom)

“Everyone wanted to stay and celebrate.”

“Your beautiful music set the mood for a most memorable wedding and your kindness and professionalism during the preparations was greatly appreciated. So many guests complimented us on our choice of music. It brought young and old together. Toes were tapping and everyone danced. We’ve been to a great number of wedding in recent years and have noticed that there is often an exodus of guests following dinner. It was thanks alone to your music that such a wonderful mood was created that everyone wanted to stay and celebrate. We thank you again and will enthusiastically recommend you to all.”
-Andrea and Michael (bride and groom)

Wonderful sense of humor and professionalism.”

You set the scene with elegant with the classical ensemble, and moved right into the best get-up-and-dance jazz that this group has been around. Nothing but lauds was heard from everyone attending.

-Linsey and Douglas L. (bride and groom)

“..uncanny ability to sense what our guests wanted to hear..”

“We wish to thank you for the splendid music you provided at our daughter’s wedding. Starting with the classical ensemble prior to and during the wedding ceremony, followed by the jazz trio at the cocktail reception, the toe-tapping selections during dinner and ending with music for our parents’ era to our ‘Mustang Sally’, it was a night of superb music! Through your efforts and uncanny ability to sense what our guests wanted to hear, the dance floor was always full of happy people, and our guests had many favorable comments. We would also like to thank you for making it so easy to work with you especially in light of the fact that both the bride and groom were residing out of state during the planning process. They never had a problem getting in touch with you at any time and are most appreciative of the fact that you were willing to learn a special song for their wedding dance.”
-Joe and Dineen G. (parents of the bride)

“The soft jazz was playing beautifully”

Your music greeted us when we first entered the doors, the soft jazz was playing beautifully and all the guests were enjoying the music. We received many compliments about the Hot Cat Jazz Band that evening and for months to follow. Not only did everyone enjoy the jazz and swing music you played but they marveled at the fact that the volume of the band was soft enough that the music was enjoyable standing right next to the band. Thank you very much for making our wedding day the most beautiful memory for us. You and the Hot Cat Jazz Band are first on our list as a recommendation and we would be happy to speak with any prospective couples about our wonderful experience with the band.”
-Amber and Jason F. (bride and groom)

-Elizabeth O. (bride)

“When it came to you, everything was simple and worry-free”

“When it came to you, everything was simple and worry-free. The cocktail hour trio made a great first impression on our guests. The mood, the volume, and the tempo all provided excellent background for an outdoor garden party. During dinner, the music played by the full band was perfect (not loud and not too quiet). As the evening picked up and the partying began, we were really pleased with your ability to sense what material our guests needed to dance to. Also, Amy and I were entirely grateful that you were willing to perform ALL the requests we asked you to play. Multiple guests, including a number of talented musicians, all told us “what a great band!”
-Greg and Amy D.K. (bride and groom)

“The music was fantastic.”

“Thanks to you and the Hot Cat Jazz Band, we had a day to remember. The music was fantastic. The highlight of the day was when my father and uncle joined in on clarinet and trumpet. They thoroughly enjoyed playing with you and were impressed by your talent. The music at the ceremony was beautiful and we really enjoyed dancing to our wedding song ‘The Nearness Of You’. Your rendition was timed perfectly. Thanks so much for making the day special!”
-Carol and David Y. (bride and groom)
