Ricky,
I wanted to personally thank you for being a part of our wedding. Well let's not kid... you MADE the wedding! Everyone there had an amazing time and can not stop talking about how great everything was and how that band was excellent. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long as I am sure you know. Melissa and I will definitely recommend you to anybody getting married and we will tell them that all the details don't matter as much when you have an AWESOME band. Thanks again Ricky. We are glad that we made the right decision in choosing you and hope that you and your band do very well and continue making weddings a great time!

Ricky,
You guys were absolutely terrific at the reception on Saturday. I applaud your talent for keeping the dance floor packed all night long. From the moment they opened the door to the venue, my wife wanted to start dancing. Even the recorded music you played between sets was very well done.

I don't think you need many more testimonials, but if you ever have a dad who would like to talk to someone who has hired you, feel free to have them call or email me. I would jump up and down to recommend you to anyone.

Again, great job..well worth it!

Ricky and Fellow Buzz Catz:

Thank you for an amazing job at our wedding!

From the Jazz trio at cocktail hour to the very last song by the 8 piece band, The Buzzcatz made a huge impression on all of our wedding guests. I cannot tell you how many compliments were given about your music, the songs, and your voice.

I also want to say a big thank you to how wonderful you performed our wedding song- These are the moments - it meant a great deal.
Thank you also for the sincere professionalism that you displayed over the last year. You truly made me feel comfortable and supported.

Not only were the wedding guests impressed but the Hyatt staff and guests were also talking about your wonderful music. On Sunday we were chatting
with a bellman and he said that the whole hotel was talking about the great band that played at the wedding!!!

Thank you so much! We could not be more pleased!

The best of luck to you all,
Gina and Bryan
 

 

Ricky,
Thank you very much for all your help leading up to our wedding day. The Buzzcats were awesome. I have received so many great compliments about the band and how much fun everyone had. I have never seen so many people dancing and having so much fun at a wedding. You guys are great and the music could not have been any better. Again thanks for a very entertaining evening!

Sincerely,

Dear Ricky,

WOW!!!! David and I just keep saying, WOW!! Everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about the band, you were beyond amazing, fabulous, spectacular, I don't think there is a word to describe how incredible your music is. You far exceeded our expectations and after listening to your CD we expected the best, only to find out that you sound even better in person. You made our wedding as fun as it could possibly be, all ages were on the dance floor! How can we thank you enough? Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! We are officially Buzzcatz groupies.

Dear Ricky and the Buzzcatz,

Kelly and I wanted to thank you for an awesome time at our wedding!! You guys rocked the house and I can not tell you how many people came up to us saying how great you guys were. Whether it be the Irish jig, Jimmy Buffett, or the Edwin McCain song that you learned for our first dance, everything sounded perfect and we can not thank you enough.

We appreciate the quick responses you provided when we had any questions and your level of professionalism; especially when dealing with the hurricane. Our good friends and guests of our wedding thought you were so good that you are now playing their wedding at the end of January. We will see you there! Kelly and I will be recommending you to all of our friends and we will be seeing you soon.

Have a great holiday season,

Kelly and Chris Handrahan

Dear Ricky,

You guys ROCKED at our wedding! Every one of our guests were blown away by your band. Yesterday, my dad asked me what event can we plan next so that you and the band can come up and play again. He loved you! I thought you should know, my favorite part of my whole wedding night was when you sang Billy Joel's "Lullabye" for Anthony and his daughter. It broke my heart (In a good way!).

Thank You again for a truly GREAT night!

With great respect,

Dear Ricky,

Thank you for your assistance in making my client's wedding such a tremendous success. The Smith and Fisher family were thrilled with The Buzzcatz.

From the beginning of our negotiations, you remained calm and a true professional. Also, once arriving on site, the band was professional, and very receptive to the changes that always take place during receptions.

As you know, being a wedding coordinator means assuming responsibility for the general success of the wedding. You made my job so easy. I know that future weddings with entertainment provided by The Buzzcatz will also be extraordinary. Please feel free to add me to the reference list for you and The Buzzcatz.

You and your staff are certainly very talented and I plan to enthusiastically recommend you to my clients. I look forward to doing business again in the very near future.

Yours Truly,

Dear Ricky-

We just wanted to send you a note to thank you for playing at our wedding at the Villas of Grand Cypress on November 12th. Since coming back from our honeymoon and reminiscing about our big day with all of our guests, everyone not only said how much fun they had at the reception but almost every person mentions how much they loved the sound of your band and the selection of songs you played. You guys truly sounded amazing - We were so lucky to have found you! So thanks again for making our reception such a fun and memorable event.

And also, Jennifer and I truly enjoyed working with you and your band. You guys are professional, courteous and accommodating - First class all the way!

All the best.
Marc Litz and Jennifer Geosits

 

 

Ricky,
A belated thank you for a terrific evening!
In planning Tiffany's wedding, Susan and I decided early on we ought to cut back on flowers, decorations, limousines, and the like so that no compromises would be made with entertainment at the reception. Unquestionably, we made a wise choice.
Throughout the reception itself, as well as afterwards, our guests kept coming up to me and asking, "Where did you get that band, I have never heard a group so good before." Due in large part to the Buzzcatz, both young and old had the time of their lives that night.
Despite the spaciousness of the dance floor, most of the evening it simply could not hold everyone who responded to your sound. The sophistication and the fun with which your group infused Tiffany and Sandy's wedding reception is remarkable. You promised us a perfect evening and you more than delivered. Tiffany will have nothing but fond memories for the rest of her life. Thanks again to you and all your guys for making it so special.
Regards,

We just got back from our Honeymoon this weekend and we could not wait to write you.

What can we say... The Buzzcatz were absolutely amazing. We had the time of our lives at our reception!! We are getting non-stop compliments from all of our guests about how wonderful, energetic, and fun you guys were. The crowd stayed up dancing all night long.
We could not have been happier with the way things turned out. You made the reception a huge success and the energy and chemistry you put into the room, through your music, was indescribable. We cannot thank you and your band members enough for that night. Your professionalism, flexibility, and positive attitude throughout everything was a comfort to me that night. I knew the party was in good hands!! :-)

I want you to know that the BEST and most comfortable decision we made throughout the whole process of planning our wedding was having The Buzzcatz play at our reception. (and I truly mean that) You all made all the dreams I had of our wedding reception come true. It was flawless and we could not have been any happier with you all.

Thank you so much!!!

We love you guys,

Ricky,

I really wanted to thank you once again on behalf of Samantha and Dain and my husband and myself! Saturday was a seamless evening and you and the band were such a tremendous part of it. My guests were amazed with you guys. Where did you come from was all the buzz (no pun intended!). People have not stopped talking about you. We feel beyond fortunate to have been able to have you for this special occasion. If you ever need to put someone in touch with me for a referral please feel free to do so. I am not sure there are enough words, however to communicate how sensational you are!

Your music was fabulous; and you were an outstanding Master of Ceremonies. Saturday night was an evening we will all remember! Definitely a wedding that would be hard to top!!!!

Once again thanks and we will come up to see you perform when we are up your way. We are up there frequently~so we will be seeing you again!

Ricky - The Buzzcatz were awesome Saturday night!!

I have received so many compliments on how wonderful the band was ... people kept asking me where I flew you in from! I know Andrew's father had a couple people ask about booking you for an event - if they contact me for your info, what is the best way for me to send them to you? Email, phone?

I don't even have the words to describe how perfect the night was, beyond my wildest expectations ... all of the songs you played were great, everyone kept saying they were so surprised that song after song was a great dance song. I even heard people were up dancing during the entrance song as everyone filed into the ballroom! When you were playing "What a Wonderful World" for my dance with my father - he said to me, "this guy sounds just like Louis Armstrong, it's spooky!" I had been telling him that all along, but he didn't believe me!

Take care, and good luck with your own wedding plans - I hope it ends up as beautiful and special as our night was for us!
Michelle

 

 

Ricky,

You definetely set the mood. Thank You so much for making our night magical. Everyone couldn't stop talking about you guys. Thanks again. Keep in touch if you guys ever play in the area we would love to come and watch.

My husband Steve and I cannot thank you enough for the amazing performance that the Buzzcats put on for our wedding reception on April 28th at the OC Museum of Art. You added so much energy to our celebration. Everyone was raving about how great the band was. You guys are top notch and first class all the way.

Thank you so much for making our special night even more special and unforgettable for us and our guests!

Sincerely,

Hi Ricky,

All I can say is WOW!!! Susan Pelteson had told me that the Buzzcatz were a great band for the wedding. We had seen the website but never seen them perform live. David & the band were so good and did such a great job performing music that worked for all our guests. We are so delighted and thank you and the band for making the wedding reception so much fun!

Warmest regards,
