We had the absolute pleasure of having SpaceCat as our wedding band, and they truly exceeded all expectations! From the very beginning, Christian, the band manager, made the entire...
planning process seamless. His clear communication and organization ensured that everything went smoothly, which took so much stress off our plate.
On the big day, the energy on the dancefloor was electric! The band had everyone up and dancing all night long, and so many of our guests have told us that SpaceCat is the best wedding band they've ever seen. It’s no wonder why—they’re incredibly talented, and their renditions of our first dance songs were absolutely stunning. “Loving You Easy” by Zac Brown Band, “Father and Daughter” by Paul Simon, and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” by Randy Newman sounded perfect and made those moments even more memorable.
In addition to their amazing music, SpaceCat added some fun surprises, like a sing-along song that had everyone joining in. They really made sure to get us (the bride and groom) involved, which made the crowd even more excited and energized.
If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than SpaceCat. They are beyond amazing!

re never pushy or tried a hard sell. Christian was really helpful with all of the small details that we didn't even know to think about (like the timeline and letting us know where it made sense to cut back to save some money).
On the wedding day itself, they did a good job coordinating directly with the venue so that we did not have to do anything ourselves.
We first saw the band perform live at Rochester Mills, and they were even better at our wedding! They were fun, interactive, and excellent at engaging with the crowd. Many of our guests told us it was one of the best wedding bands they had ever seen. I was on the dance floor the entire night! (Editorial note from the groom: This is not hard to do).

Book this band immediately! I could not be happier that I chose SpaceCat to be our wedding band! The band lead, Christian, was extremely responsive throughout the planning process....
He set up several meetings prior to our wedding (two calls and one in person) to make sure all the details were squared away. During one of our wedding planning meetings it was mentioned that my husband likes Panic at the disco and Fall Out Boy. During the reception they suprised my husband with a Panic at the disco/Fall Out Boy Mashup! My husband and his friends absolutely loved it!! When I say SpaceCat brought the energy, they had people on the dance floor all night! Family and friends are still talking about how incredible this band is! If you are on the fence about booking this band, just book them!

On the day of our wedding, they completely blew us and our guests away. They had the dance floor packed the entire night with their high-energy performances. Our guests are still raving about the music. SpaceCat also handled the emceeing duties perfectly, keeping the evening flowing smoothly. A highlight we’ll never forget: guests from the wedding next door actually came over to our party because the music was so good. If you're looking for a wedding band that will elevate your celebration, get everyone dancing, and leave a lasting impression, we highly recommend SpaceCat!

the crowd to know exactly what the vibe is. They definitely play to the room and know how to keep the party going!
Working with the band, they were completely professional and super organized. From our first meeting, they made sure they knew the timeline of our special day so that all the intros/transitions were handled on the day of and we didn't have to worry about a thing! They also went above and beyond and learned additional songs for our first dance and dad/daughter as well as mom/son dances. These were such special moments and for them to perform them live made it all the better.
At the reception they engaged the crowd throughout the performance and had an excellent mix of music from wedding classics to contemporary hits. They pumped up our guests by encouraging participation and made us feel like celebrities out on the dance floor!
At the end of the night and the days that followed, so many of our guests complemented the band and said how that was the best part of the reception.
Our wedding would not have been the same without SpaceCat!

The energy SpaceCat brought to the night was nothing short of electric, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. It was clear that no one wanted the night to end—the consensus from our guests was that “one more song” wouldn't be enough to satisfy their desire for more —everyone was completely immersed in the music and didn’t want the night to end, us included!!
SpaceCat’s performance truly elevated our celebration, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you're looking for a band to deliver an unforgettable performance, look no further than SpaceCat!

The band worked with us to learn songs that were special to us and it made our night so unique. They were able to set up before the party started and we used their speaker services during cocktail hour/dinner.
The band is huge - so many talented artists and musicians and incredible range of vocals. People have not stopped telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. Our dance floor was full the whole night and at the end of the night, the encore was in such high demand, we paid to keep them on another hour!
Please, don't hesitate when booking with them! We love you, Spacecat!

t was seamless, and the band was well prepared to make the day a success. We went with the upgraded brass option; it was well worth the investment, but if not, you can’t go wrong with Mr. Sax-man and the rest of the crew. From the live quartet during happy hour, through the emcee duties during dinner, to learning and performing our first dance perfectly, and keeping the party going all night long, we didn’t have a single complaint. After the wedding, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome the band was and how it completely made the night, and we couldn’t agree more. We will definitely be seeking out any opportunity we can to see them again, even if it means crashing another wedding to do it!

They sound great playing Top 40s, oldies, Motown, and everything in between with awesome male and female vocals. Plus, they provide MCing to help the night run smoothly. We were thrilled that SpaceCat also ended up being a professional and easy vendor to work with. Leading up to the reception, Christian was very organized and lead us through the run of show to make sure that they got even the smallest details correct (name pronunciations, order of events, music genres, etc.). They were happy to play any song we wanted for our first dance, father-daughter and mother-son dances (one of which was a first time request for them!) and they performed to perfection! They also set up separate playlists for our cocktail hour and for the end of the evening, and played live piano during dinner. Overall we could not have been happier with our choice to book SpaceCat and they will surely be our recommendation for any couple looking for a wedding band in the future.

They were also able to fulfill our special request of having my brother sing our first dance song, being backed up by the band, and they worked seamlessly with us to make that happen.
I can't recommend this band enough, both for the quality of their performance and for the ease of working with them leading up to the day o the wedding.

I really cannot say enough wonderful things about this band. Going with SpaceCat is the easiest decision you can make.

sign for. We are so grateful we decided to go ahead with Spacecats because we knew we were confident they would tailor our special day based on the conversations/meetings we had together. And that is precisely what it was. SpaceCats, we thank you for
not giving the same performance as every other wedding and making our evening just what we wanted and more.
One of our favorite things about working with SpaceCats
was their consideration and receptiveness to our shared playlist. We could not
be more thankful and appreciative of how smoothly everything went. On multiple occasions, Christian had asked us to gather a list of
songs and share whatever we'd like with the team for the band to play. He did a
tremendous job in getting the message across to us that whatever we gave him
would be played during the reception before anything else the band enjoyed or
suggested for a wedding reception. It was appreciated and recognizable that he/they
did not push us towards any genre of music. We truly appreciated that, as we
had various clientele at our wedding. We want to give you and the gang props
for comprehending/knowing what to play for what type of event, but it was also so
fun to dance to.
Not only was the music list precisely what we had hoped
for, but the way Christian executed the entire wedding was incredible. Keeping
a wedding party of 32 in order and orchestrating the remainder of the reception
with a group photo, speeches, dances, and bride and groom requests was
remarkable. He outdid himself and knows how to run an event you don't want to
end. Everything was organized and felt in place according to his timeline. He
indeed went above and beyond and ensured that everything was noticed.
Christian, we cannot thank you enough for all your
meetings and phone calls with us. You always answered our questions. You were
so incredibly thorough in every single aspect of this whole process. You are so
detail-oriented, and you thought of everything. Another thing about working
with you was how you did a few callbacks to ensure you pronounced each name
correctly. (And you nailed all 32 of them!) Along with following up a second
and third time the week before to make sure there wasn't anything else you
missed.
Christian and the gang put on one of the best
entertainment nights we have seen, with a wedding party of 32 and a guest list of
almost 400. They got the crowd involved (my husband might have a singing career
with them – at least for the song SHOUT!) just with the energy they had. But the vocals on everyone in that group kept the dance floor going until the venue lights turned on. Not only did they sound better throughout the night, but their energy grew even more significant with all of us. It indeed was an evening that we will never forget.
SpaceCats, you surpassed every single expectation we had
by a mile. We can't thank you enough for giving us some of the greatest memories we've had and will ever have.

eCat played piano for our ceremony, a jazz quartet for cocktail hour, and the entire band for the reception. They learned every single special song we had, even the lesser-known ones, and each was executed perfectly by the band! Every member of the band was so interactive and high energy, they had the dance floor packed all night! They even surprised me with my husband joining them on the drums for a song!! I have had so many guests tell me it was the best band (and saxophone player!) they’ve ever heard at a wedding. They were so easy to work with and communication was thorough throughout the entire process. If you want a packed dance floor and music your guests won’t stop talking about, SpaceCat is your band!

Booking SpaceCat was, hands down, the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We weren’t able to see them perform before the big day, but we went with them based on ...
a recommendation from a friend of a friend, and boy were we happy we did. Their YouTube videos, if anything, understate how incredibly talented they are. Ashley’s voice, oh my god! Such high energy, such joy. On top of being top-notch performers, they were very easy to work with. Christian was organized, professional, and reassuring. All night, our guests kept coming up to us to rave about how phenomenal the band was, and the texts we are getting in the days afterward confirm that the band was a highlight for everyone involved. Wish I could give them ten stars.

Can't say enough about this band! 5 stars hands down!

Working with SpaceCat was one of the best decisions that I made when planning our wedding day. These guys are AMAZING, from start to finish they just blew us all away over and over...
again. From the planning stage Christian was thoughtful, organized, and it was clear there was so much experience he brought to the table. I felt very confident going into my wedding that it would flow beautifully. They went above and beyond, learning multiple songs for our special day and managing the audio for a quite complicated ceremony without a single hitch. They were SO FUN and brought so much positive energy and excitement to our day. I can't tell you how many of our guests said that our band was one of the best they had ever experienced and it set the tone for our night. Their communication and follow through was just impeccable, there really were a lot of details to keep track of and these guys didn't miss a beat. Most of all, we just felt SO celebrated and cherished by the energy and love they brought to help make our day unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone else out there, they were a cornerstone of making our wedding the magical day we were hoping to create and worth the splurge 1000x over. I will never forget the memories they helped create with us. Thank you SpaceCat !!! You guys are the absolute BEST!

Where do we start about our experience with the SpaceCat Band ??? To begin, it was the most professional, enjoyable and best experience of the entire wedding weekend. Remember you ...
can't pick your family and you can't pick your neighbors but you can pick your band. The entire band was top notch and provided a family type atmosphere for us and all our guests.
Sound System--Top notch sound, lights, recorded music everything worked without any hiccups.
Prep--The attention to detail I must admit I thought was overkill but once the day came the realization hit me that SpaceCat has played "wedding before"! The emails/calls (not really that many) all confirmed a streamlined occasion with no stress for all.
Ceremony—Best part of the evening Christian and the band made everything as seamless and enjoyable -- more than anyone could have imagined.
We will be utilizing them for all of our future functions and highly recommend them to anyone planning a gathering requiring a totally professional music experience.
