Could not recommend The Cool Rulers more

We could not recommend The Cool Rulers more! Not only was Charles and the team incredibly responsive and easy to work with leading up to the big day, but the music blew me and all the guests out of the park. From the jazz at cocktail hour to the band keeping the dance floor packed all night, I couldn't have asked for better music. They have such a wide repertoire that everyone from all of our guests had something that got them excited about. Even when we were potentially going to have to add on ceremony music super last minute and I was starting to panic, the band was so accommodating and helped us to figure out a great way forward.

Book this band immediately for your wedding or any event!!! If you like funk, disco, r&b, brass instruments and talents musicians, book them now! They made our wedding what it was and it was the best decision we made. Charles was so easy to work with and the entire band was so kind and sooooo talented. We ask them to learn a few songs including, ‘music for a sushi restaurant’ by Harry styles and they killed it. They played gimme gimme by ABBA as our closing song and the dance floor shook. Every time I hear those songs, I think of our wedding night and how magical it was it. They we one of the key reasons why it was the best night of our lives. Years later, we still have guests tell us that our band was the best they ever experienced at any wedding. I would have another wedding if I could just to book them again. If you are on the fence, take this review and just hire them for your event!
BOOK THIS BAND!

I cannot recommend this band enough. Not only were they extremely talented and had every single person at our wedding dancing but they also provided exceptional service and were a joy to work with. They were a huge component to the success of my wedding. HIGHLY recommend!!
Best wedding band of all time

The cool rulers were the absolute smash hit of our wedding. Their funky melodies made even the most modest of distant relatives get up and shake their booties on the dance floor. From hava nagila to abba, their expansive playlist kept the party vibes sky high for our entire reception. If you’re searching for a wedding band, stop looking and have the cool rulers set your party’s dance floor on fire.
