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.

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!

From our very first conversation, their communication was easy and efficient, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of, they brought a level of professionalism and personalized service that was truly superb. They seamlessly wove the songs that were meaningful to us into an unforgettable musical experience, making our dream of celebrating the songbook of our love come true! We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our special day so joyful and memorable.
Best wedding band ever!

The Cool Rulers were amazing! So easy to work with, great vibes and brought incredible energy for our wedding. They have a perfect mix of modern classics and older hits with an unmatched sound. Guaranteed to get your friends - and (grand)parents - dancing from the first note to the last song. We only wish the night had gone on forever! We were pretty hands off and encouraged them to do their thing as we loved their style and song list but I'm sure they would be able to accommodate if you have more specific requests. We had tons of people post (and during) our wedding asking about them and a number of people referred to them as the best wedding band they'd seen. Would highly recommend! The only caveat would be if you really want exclusively modern music/top 40 and/or don't love Motown, they might not be the band for you.
