Wow...WOw...WOW!!!
That's what comes to mind when thinking of how amazing the Chicago Catz were at our wedding in September '25.
Working with The Chicago Catz was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding. From the very beginning, the communication with Richie was outstanding — he responded quickly to every text and email and made everything so easy. Richie even came to our venue walk-through in person, asked all the right questions, and made sure every technical and logistical detail was covered before the big day. His professionalism and attention to detail immediately put us at ease.
One of the most meaningful moments of our entire night was our first dance. The band learned a song that my late uncle wrote and recorded over 30 years ago — a song called All Ways. We only had one old recording, no sheet music, yet they somehow brought it to life in the most beautiful way imaginable. The Chicago Catz added their own personal touches while still honoring the original, and it was absolutely magical. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room — our family and friends were all in tears. It was a moment we’ll never forget.
Beyond that, the band’s musicality and stage presence were just incredible. Every member of The Chicago Catz brought so much energy and talent to the stage — the vocals, harmonies, and instrumentals were flawless. They kept the dance floor packed all night long and had this amazing ability to read the crowd and keep the energy perfect. Their performance felt personal and electric, like a concert made just for us.
We also loved how flexible and fun they were — they even performed a few ABBA songs at our request that weren’t originally on their setlist, and they completely nailed them. Between their professionalism, talent, and genuine warmth, The Chicago Catz were everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them. THANK YOU!!!!

The BEST experience ever. From the first conversation to the event, the Catz team was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding! They were incredibly professional, easy to work with, and so much fun. They went out of their way to ensure our night was amazing. Their energy was contagious — they absolutely rocked and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! We’ve had so many guests tell us how amazing the music was and how much they enjoyed the performance. If you’re looking for a band that truly delivers and makes your night unforgettable, this is the one!

It would be impossible to overstate the gift to our family of Ritchie and the Chicago Catz. Ritchie is one of those rare humans in the wedding industry who truly cares, gets personally involved and is deeply invested in the details and outcome of the ceremony and reception. Ritchie consistently went the extra mile for our daughter's wedding in western Michigan. His creativity led to incredible sound quality of the microphones and speakers during the ceremony. We were also blessed to have the Catz's vocalists singing during the ceremony. They were next level amazing and profoundly elevated the service and vows. With the full band at the reception we were all on cloud nine. Our guests were losing their minds at the unbelievable vocalists, amazing band and phenomenal play list. We dream of having another reason to work with the Chicago Catz. They are the absolute best. Mic drop.

We had Chicago Catz play at our wedding, and they were absolutely incredible! Richie, the band director, was so collaborative and supportive from day one. He met with my planner and me beforehand to walk through the details and was incredibly flexible with our first dance song choices. Richie went above and beyond to make sure everything felt personal and seamless.
The band itself is unbelievably talented — every single musician brought so much energy and soul to the night. Our dance floor was packed all evening, and to this day, every guest still tells us it was the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. Chicago Catz made our night unforgettable, and I can’t recommend them enough!

We cannot recommend the Chicago Catz more highly. My wife and I were married this past June, and we are still getting compliments about our band's performance. Simply put, they were the highlight of our wedding. The set list was perfect, the songs for our couples' dances couldn't have sounded better, and the band executed our vision flawlessly. Further, Richie and Kevin made the whole process painless. They bring a level of expertise and professionalism that is unmatched. Thank you to the Catz!

The Chicago Catz performed at my wedding in September 2025 and they did a phenomenal job. All guests that I talked to LOVED the band. Not just for their voices or the instruments, but also their ENERGY! As a bride I was running around a bit, but at the end of the night I could really enjoy their music and it was a lot of fun! When I heard the male singer singing the first few words of the first dance song it shook me to the core!! I had heard good things about Chicago Catz from my cousin's wedding but I did not attend it. So I was not entirely sure what to expect. But I was blown away at their performance. Sometimes when you are at weddings, the dance floor is a bit bare because the band does not engage the crowd...well Chicago Catz engaged the crowd! The dance floor was packed anytime I saw it, and that made me very happy to know people were enjoying themselves. Chicago Catz also performed song requests (provided prior to the wedding), and they also played songs from two playlists I made for the dinner break time and for the end of the night 11pm-12am iPod option. I just want to note though, I know I mentioned the male's singing voice but there were also two women who sang and did the MC and they both were fantastic as well. Also, the band was great too! Thank you Chicago Catz :)

It's been almost two years since the Catz played at our wedding celebration, and this review is LONG overdue. Today, we still have folks who attended the celebration talk about how incredible and talented the Catz were. From start until finish, there was non-stop energy and grooves to keep the feet moving. They say that a live band can make or break a party and the Catz will make your party and then some!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band than The Chicago Catz! We chose the 11-piece band for our big day, and they absolutely blew us away. Of all our vendors, the band received the most compliments from our guests—everyone was raving about how amazing they were. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also went above and beyond with every detail we requested. A great example of their thoughtfulness was when Richie, the band leader, took the time on our final call to ask about the pronunciation of my maid of honor’s last name, ensuring the announcement during her speech was perfect. It’s small, thoughtful touches like that which really made them stand out. The Chicago Catz truly helped make our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend them more!

The Chicago Catz made our wedding the absolute BEST NIGHT of our lives. They are unbelievably talented, kind, energetic, great to work with, and created an evening SO fun and memorable that we've been hearing about how great it was for weeks. I knew I wanted to have a really lively dance floor and the Catz DELIVERED. Every generation was out there, banger after banger. I am so grateful for all their time and help with planning the ceremony music, cocktail hour, and of course the reception. My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our experience with the Catz and would recommend them to everyone. If you are considering a band for your wedding book the Catz. Just do it. Get ready for the best night of your life!!!

The Chicago Catz will bring your wedding to a whole new level! Before we were engaged, my husband and I saw the Catz at a wedding in downtown Chicago. When we left, we knew we had to hire them if we ever got married. A year later, the Catz were one of the first vendors we hired for our wedding. Richie was amazing to work with and was super relaxed throughout the planning process, which was so nice. I was a very detailed bride, but when it came to planning the music, I knew I could sit back, relax, and let the Catz do their thing. This band did not stop playing all night! They were so incredible and really brought the room to life. I cannot say enough about them!

Chicago Catz made our wedding an UNFORGETTABLE celebration!! Their performance was nothing short of exceptional; their energy and stamina were incredible, keeping the dance floor alive all night long. They were not only talented but also extremely accommodating, seamlessly incorporating our song requests into their setlist.
Richie, in particular, was instrumental in ensuring everything ran smoothly. His expertise and attention to detail added a special touch to the entire experience. The band's enthusiasm and dedication truly shone through, making every penny spent well worth it.
Even now, long after the wedding, our guests are still raving about the Chicago Catz. The live band elevated the atmosphere and made our day incredibly special. We couldn't have asked for a better musical ensemble to celebrate with us. THANK YOU Chicago Catz for doing the damn thing and making our wedding an absolute blast!

The Chicago Catz are absolutely INCREDIBLE!! When we got engaged we had just attended a wedding where the Catz had played so we knew we had to have them at ours. We had a trio play for our ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by the full band for the reception. Richie was wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding - he had great recommendations for things like first dance timelines, how to wrap up the end of the night, etc., did a great job facilitating speeches during the reception, and was helpful with coordinating last minute details during the final walk through at the venue. The whole Catz ensemble was beyond impressive - we had a jam packed dance floor all night long! The Catz have a great, high energy set list and also accommodated learning the handful of songs that were important to us to hear on our big day. Our friends and family have been raving about the Catz since wedding day - several of our newly engaged friends have since reached out to book the Catz themselves! We couldn't be more grateful and would book the Catz a million times over! Thank you!!!

The Chicago Catz band rocked our daughter's wedding until 1:00am!!! Our daughter's wedding was on New Year's Eve and boy did everyone have a blast! We booked the band based on reviews and our venue suggested them. We were overwhelmed with their professionalism, level of talent (one singer placed on The Voice), personal touches and the dance floor was always crowded! They do not use tracks and they customized some songs for the couple - I can't say enough positive things about how Richie handles his band and customers!! Highly recommend!A+++ Note: In the details they ask price we paid, but they don't ask how many band members. So, we paid $14,000 for a 14 piece band which was TOTALLY worth it!!! It was like being at a live concert - their music is beyond fabulous!!

If you are reading this, you have found the perfect wedding band- book the Chicago Catz immediately. My husband and I booked the Chicago Catz for our wedding on 10/15/22 at the Sculpture Garden at the Bridgeport Art Center and we are SO happy we did. The Chicago Catz made our reception a PARTY. We’ve had so many guests still telling us how incredible the band was and what a blast our dance floor was. They played the most perfect range of music- from our modern requests like Beyonce’s most recent single “Break My Soul” and Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” to dance floor classics. They are incredibly talented and the sign-off they did to close the night made it feel like we were at a concert. We had about 12 pieces and I would highly recommend going for it. This group was dynamic, energetic and truly so incredible to watch perform. Richie was SO easy to work with the entire time leading up to our wedding and incredibly responsive and helpful as we made decisions. We ALSO used a guitar trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour through the Chicago Catz. Gabriel and his bandmates were incredible. Perfectly performing our requested ceremony music and creating the most ambiance setting for our cocktail hour. We’ve had multiple guests also mention how this trio just set the tone for the whole evening with magic. I can’t recommend the Chicago Catz enough, book them for your wedding ASAP! Thank you Chicago Catz! - Molly & Justin

We saw the Catz wayyyy before we ever got engaged and instantly fell in love with their energy and charm! All our guests told us that the Catz were the BEST wedding band they had ever seen - we had most people on the dance floor until their very last song. Richie was absolutely so easy to work with and always responded quickly to any email I sent. They have an awesome set list and the vibes were incredible. So glad we hired them for our wedding - they were our second most expensive vendor but it was 1000% worth it!

Chicago Catz is the most amazing band. I saw them first perform at my cousin's wedding about 8 years ago. Then, when I got engaged and was planning my own wedding about 5-6 years after that, I just HAD to have them perform at ours. And they were available! They were so, so, so good. When people talk about our wedding they always bring up how great the band was. They were so much fun, played an amazing playlist with lots of new hits, and were super engaged with the crowd. Working with the organizer of the band leading up to the wedding, in the midst of the pandemic, was also a very pleasant experience. He was extremely professional and great to deal with. I would recommend them to any and all looking for a great band for a wedding or party. They are the BEST!!

The Chicago Catz are the best wedding band EVER. I have now used the Catz for both my daughters' weddings and they were absolutely amazing. I had many, many guests comment about how great they were and they had never head such a wonderful band. They are an incredible group of individual musicians who are even better together. They are soulful, joyful, and a pleasure to listen to. Besides their ability to play, they have an innate and experienced sense of what the crowd wants to hear. We wanted a band that got people to dance and that's exactly what happened. It was a pleasure working with them from the original booking through making plans (they provided some wonderful ideas) all the way through to playing at the wedding. I recommend them wholeheartedly and hope to have another reason for us to hire them for another party. In my mind, there is no reason to even look at other bands. I enjoy them so much, I would happily go listen to them at a venue just to hear them play.

Hiring the Chicago Catz for our wedding was one of the best decisions I made throughout the planning process. They put on an INCREDIBLE show at our wedding and it made for so much fun on the dance floor!! All of our guests have remarked on how fabulous the Catz were. They are so talented and knew exactly how to get the party started - and keep it going until the last song! Behind the scenes the band was equally as great to work with. Richie was so responsive and took the time to understand our priorities and answer any questions. He went above and beyond by accommodating a few special requests from my family for songs throughout the night and those moments are some of our favorite from the wedding to look back on. I cannot say enough good things about the Catz and would use them 100 times over for future events!!

They had all our guests up and dancing before dinner; creating a super fun vibe that lasted the entire night. Our guests could not stop commenting and complementing the Catz during and after our daughter's wedding. The Catz also played at our nieces wedding, and the vide was the same.

Chicago Catz was absolutely the BEST. I had so many of my guest tell me that they wanted to dance all night because of how good the playlist was and how great the band was. I wish I had another wedding to plan because they for sure would be whom I would hire. So professional and so easy to deal with during the wedding planning

This group will make your day!!! So many of our guests from all parts of the country made comments on their incredible sound and great voices. No one could sit still ….up and dancing and celebrating for hours. Music makes the memories and Chicago Catz does it so so well. We are using them twice in one year. Just expect the best!

Chicago Catz was the best band for my wedding I could have asked for. The songs were great and they are so talented. Their energy was so pure and enjoyable it got people on the dance floor in my family that normally would never step foot on one! They were hot topic of conversation after my wedding and I’m so thankful I found them.
