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!

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.

The Cool Rulers were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was professional, easy, and fun throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was unmatched - they brought an outstanding level of talent and energy that had everyone, from our 3-year-old guests to our 90-year-olds, dancing, singing, and smiling all night long. With an incredible 9-hour setlist to choose from, this band truly was the number one best decision I made for our wedding day. I put all my trust in The Cool Rulers, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. I will be forever grateful for the joy and talent they brought to our special day!
