Brian and I could not have been happier with the Wildcat Jazz Band! From start to finish they were so accommodating, professional, and just plain nice! They were the hit of our wedding and as they were quietly leaving, all of my guests gave them a standing ovation of much deserved thanks and appreciation! Even though the day was swelteringly hot, the Wildcat Jazz Band played with such fun and infectious joy. We highly recommend this band to anyone!!

I can't say enough about how great the Wildcat Jazz Band were! They made my wedding such a special experience. Mike was fun and easy to work with, the band looked and sounded great on the day and I couldn't be happier. I would go out of my way to book them again - they were such a crowd-pleaser.

I had a Roaring 20s theme party at Sardi's in NYC for my 60th birthday and I felt that the Wildcat Jazz Band absolutely made my special evening a huge success. They are the real deal when it comes to Dixieland Jazz and their playing was fantastic. I would recommend this group to anyone and everyone who is looking to have the most fun they will ever have at a party. How wonderful they are. Mike Stein their leader is a great guy and a total pro. They were very accomodating to all my requests and when they play,believe me, the whole room just comes alive. I will hire them for my NEXT 60th birthday party for sure!

The Wilcats' music really made our wedding 100 times more special. Everyone fell in love with them, from the kids to the older folk.
The band was beyond accommodating, agreeing to stay for an extra set everyone enjoyed them so much. We only hope to be able to have them join us again on another occasion.

As a fellow musician, I know what it takes. Wildcat Jazz Band is as good as it gets. In addition, it was my fathers 80th birthday and he likes one kind of music, dixieland jazz. He was singing along and couldn't be happier. Larry Cosden

The Wildcat Jazz band was very professional and pleasant to work with. Our client was very happy with their performance. "The Wildcat Jazz Band did an outstanding job entertaining our guests." says Diane Connor for the Disney movie premiere of Deja Vu.
I just want to thank you for the enjoyment of having your band the Wildcats perform at our World Premiere of "DEJA VU"
at Roseland in New York.
Everyone enjoyed the sounds, people came early and stayed late - always a good sign for an after party.
I even saw Jon Voight doing the second line dance with some folks right down in front !
Your outfit was a pleasure to work with, the sound had exactly the right feel for what we were trying to create as the atmosphere and we look forward to doing it again some time.
Please thank all the guys and gal and send them our Holiday regards.
I'll be sure to let Mike Dixon and Gigmasters know you were consumate pros.
My warmest regards,

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 21, 2009•From Springfield, NJ
We hired the Wildcat Jazz Band for our Centennial Event which was themed with Edwardian costumes and we needed to hear some Ragtime to complete the effect. The Wildcat Jazz Band did that and more, they were very professional, and talented! The guests loved them, and it seemed that they never took a break! We will definitely have them play for us again.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 28, 2008•From Babylon, NY
My husband and I were positively thrilled with the Wildcats, from beginning to end. Planning our wedding was such a hectic experience, but Mike Stein was thoroughly professional, dependable and helpful throughout the planning process. We wanted a "New Orleans Jazz/Garden wedding" in our own backyard, and the Wildcats perfectly set the tone. They read the crowd instinctively, and everyone enjoyed the music so much! My husband wanted to serenade me with a Fats Waller tune on his trombone, and the Wildcats helped him plan and execute this "dream" of his. Really, the Wildcats were just perfect, and we recommend them without reservation!

We owe a round of thanks to the Wildcat Jazz Band for providing the best party soundtrack anyone could want. My parents haven't had a band at an event since their 1968 wedding, so having live music was an extra-special treat. While the night flew by for us and we lost track of the hours, the Wildcats gave us the most precious gift a band can bestow: an encore, or three. We were particularly grateful for the Wildcats' patience and good humor; they showed up to a mad house and just made themselves at home. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They would be a delight at any gathering or occasion.

The Wildcat Jazz Band did a wonderful job playing the ceremony and cocktail hour of my wedding. People keep telling me how much they loved the music, one friend has even said she would like them to play her wedding when she gets married! They are exceptional and Mike Stein is a pleasure to work with.

The band was absolutely fantastic. There's no one better! The happy music they played put a smile on the faces of everyone all night long and since the wedding all our guests have commented on how wonderful the band was. They couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks for helping to make the night such a success!
Best wishes,

The Wildcats arrived on time, were completely professional, sounded great, interacted well with the audience, took requests, and made this a truly memorable birthday for my Dad.
Wedding•Reviewed on September 16, 2006•From New York City, NY
Wildcat Jazz Band played for the two hour cocktail reception we had at our wedding. We rented Metrazur's balconies overlooking New York's Grand Central Station main concourse. Having lived in New Orleans in the past and heard numerous dixieland jazz groups this group was everything we were looking for. My wife, who admitedly was apprehensive, wanted a more standard jazz band but Wildcat mixed in some standards as well and read the crowd well. In the end she, as well as many others, were amazed how well it worked. A very festive and celebratory way to start off the evening. My only regret is not having them play after dinner as the DJ we hired was a nightmare and played every cheezy wedding reception song in the book despite our prior direction. We highly reccomend them. Peter & Nora - New York City - 9/16/06

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He was very friendly (all of them were) with a great sense of humor to boot! They were accommodating, professional, and incredibly talented. The band was amazing and set the tone for the rest of the wedding. I can't thank them enough for making our special day even more special! Thank you Wildcat Jazz band!!

Mike Stein was extremely accomodating, a gentleman and seasoned musician, not a salesman from the beginning which was much appreciated. The talent of the band was exceptional. The party attendees, especially my father, whose birthday we were celebrating, were delighted. I was thrilled that I could find a band in the Dixieland genre. I would recommend the Wildcat Jazz Band uniequivocally.
