Just wanted to let you know that Big Ray and his band crushed it last night. May have been the best I have ever heard them. Great mix of experienced musicians, younger ones... Really perfect. My clients were super super pleased and I look forward to seeing Big Ray again soon! It's nice to have a band that you know is going to bring it on every level. Professional, fun and talented. He is so different from so many other bands and I am happy to have his style to offer to clients!

Dear East Coast Entertainment and Big Ray, Words cannot express the joy we have when thinking of the special night our daughter had because of your band.
The music was spectacular and Big Ray made the bride feel as if she really was a princess for the day.
Truly an amazing experience and we wanted you to know that the whole band from singers to instruments to timing and even allowing our "really friendly guest" up on stage they never missed a beat.
Please pass this on to Big Ray and his band, they need to know how grateful and over the moon impressed we all are!!!

Big Ray & the Kool Kats was a spectacular part of my daughter's wedding. Everyone had a wonderful time dancing to the band's music, and, of significantly less importance, BR was most accommodating in complying with silly requests from the bride's father concerning the wedding toast. BR and his band are the tops!

It was an absolutely honor having them perform at our wedding reception. From the start, I knew that this was going to be seamless. Big Ray gave us his cell phone number to call any time leading up to the event with questions or concerns. We did end up calling him once with questions and he was extremely patient listening to our questions and really took the time to explain how he could help. At the event, he came up to us before we were introduced to say hello and joke around with us (we were so nervous!) to help calm the nerves.
Now for the music. It was truly unbelievable! I had guests coming up to us at the reception to get his contact info and hear about how we had found this band. If they weren't coming up to ask about the band it was just to tell us how talented they were - and they truly are!
Another GREAT thing about this band - my mother at one point thought that it was a tiny bit too loud and she went up to Big Ray and he immediately worked with her to get the right level. She agreed with me that it was an amazing response as not all bands are likely to agree with "the old fogies" as my mom calls herself :)
Big Ray and the Kool Kats take it to another level. While there were certainly a few bumps in the road during the wedding (there always will be!), there were absolutely zero with the band. I wish I could have them at every event! Big Ray - let me know if you ever put out a record, I'll be first in line to jam along in my car!!
Thank you, Big Ray and the Kool Kats, for making our wedding experience a truly unforgettable one!!
