• The band was extremely easy to work with, even as our plans for the event changed substantially. They were prompt in arriving, took only short breaks, and were professional in every regard. The guests at our wedding complimented us on our choice of musicians, as everyone was impressed by their performance. -- Hugh B, San Diego, CA, 4/18/2009
• I could not have been happier with Allison and the band. They were truely making music together, even though it was just a wedding gig. I would hire them again in a minute and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mellow, polished, sophisticated jazz band. -- Heather B, San Diego, CA, 8/23/2008
• Allison Adams Tucker and/or Alli and the Cats were fantastic. From our initial consultation; Allison got the feel of our wedding. Small and intimate. She is a true professional and exceptional Singer! A joy to work with. Everyone complimented me on the Music Cheryl and Ralph -- Cheryl L, Solana Beach, CA, 3/15/2008
• Alli and the Cats are consumate professionals. They were able to meet with us and prep for our wedding on short notice, and they were easily able to accomodate our requests. Alli also is able to learn songs that are special to the couple and perform them at the event. Her take on our song "Don't Forget to Catch Me" was perfect! Everyone thought the band was the perfect addition to the wedding, and we got a lot of compliments on their professionalism and their fantastic sound! We had problems dealing with other bands, but Alli was a breeze. If we ever host another large bash, she is on the top of our list for entertaining. -- James S, San Diego, CA, 6/30/2007
