Highlighted review.

The House Cats were absolutely amazing at our wedding! They’re truly the kind of band every couple hopes for — the dance floor was packed all night, right up until the lights came ...

on. Rick was fantastic to work with and made sure everything was exactly as we expected. The band also arrived early to get fully set up, which made the entire evening run seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We loved their performance at our wedding reception! They were courteous, professional, and polite the whole time! We first saw them perform at a restaurant near Grand Rapids and s...

aw how lively the crowd was there and how engaged the crowd was with them during that performance. We asked them if they would be able to play for our special day that same night. We had been entertaining the idea of having a DJ and a live band share the time for the reception and it truly felt 'meant to be' because it meant having more people we care about be involved in making our day special, unique, and memorable. There was some drama that unfolded between a few of my bridesmaids during their set. However, (and we love this) the House Cats were able to maintain their composure and the interest of the crowd, not becoming distracted by what was happening. It took a lot of decisions by us to make everything come together for our wedding day and our choice of music (especially the band) is one we still get complimented on to this day over two years later!
