Cool Rulers were more than cool
Verified review

Charles and the Cool Rulers were professional, flexible and very talented. They coordinated with us and our venue seamlessly on logistics, killed the special songs they learned for our wedding and overall were an awesome band for our wedding night as everyone danced the night away. Would definitely recommend them for your wedding or special occasion!
Married in a blizzard

I am so grateful to have worked with The Cool Rulers for my wedding. My husband and I got married in an unexpected blizzard and the Cool Rulers CRUSHED IT despite having to spend the night sleeping on couches because the roads were closed. Their energy and flexibility carried the night to levels beyond my wildest dreams - as the bride, despite the stressful weather, I credit the Cool Rulers with helping me to finally let go and dance the night away. Cannot recommend this band more highly. Truly the greatest wedding gift I could have given myself.
The BEST wedding band

We could not recommend The Cool Rulers more highly!! They played our friends’ wedding, and as soon as we heard them, we knew they were the only choice for ours. Months later, our guests are still talking about how great our band was! Truly the BEST dance floor energy - the singers and musicians are all incredible and the setlist (which we were very hands off with other than asking for a few must plays / no plays) was impeccable. Charles was super responsive, helpful with all our questions, and made all of the (complicated) logistics work seamlessly. We paid for the maximum number of musicians and are glad we did. Book them!!

We can’t say enough amazing things about the Cool Rulers. Ahead of the wedding, Charles was incredibly responsive and worked with us to get a vibe of the music we were looking for, alongside a few requests we had. Let me tell you that I’m happy my wife and I didn’t orchestrate the set lists because the Cool Rulers put it together perfectly! They took some of our must plays and created a perfect set list that had the whole wedding on the dance floor the entire reception. Our guests still talk about how the Cool Rulers were the best wedding band they ever heard. We’ve heard this from dozens of guests and felt the same. Your guests will be raving and you’ll have the dance party of your life with the Cool Rulers. Thank you guys again!
