WOW!!! Eitan, truly amazing!
We have NEVER experienced a wedding like that before, and not just because it was our own. One year later and we are still hearing how amazing it was.
The Chuppah was beyond words. This is not something that we have heard from just family and close friends as one might expect. Distant relatives, co-workers who have never been to a Jewish wedding before, stated unequivocally that a wedding with such energy and emotion had never been witnessed with their eyes, felt with their souls. This Eitan, is because of you.
I’ll be honest and share a couple of questions and concerns raised by family and friends alike prior to the wedding:
“Are you sure he does weddings? We have never seen him perform at one.”
“His albums don’t sound like an up-beat, energetic wedding.”
Those questions, those concerns, were put to rest as soon as Im Eshkacheich was over. The energy that literally ERUPTED cannot be explained in words.
If anyone is exploring music for their wedding I will say with utmost confidence that YOU HAVE TO USE EITAN KATZ! If Eitan is unable to perform due to a scheduling conflict, move your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed.
Very often bands and singers come to a wedding and simply do their job. Eitan, you came to our wedding and it was clear to even the most casual of observers that your focus was to be misameach the Chasson and Kallah. For this, and for the level you elevated our wedding to, we owe you boundless levels of hakaras hatov. Thank you!!

We cannot believe that it has already been 8 months since our wedding and we are still constantly getting compliments about how amazing the music was. Eitan truly added a special element of ruach, fun and joy to our wedding, not every singer would have. We always recomend Eitan to all of our friends that are getting married and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about him.
Thank you so much Eitan for putting your neshama into our wedding!

Eitan is a pleasure to work with from begining to end. He and his band come with amazing energy. For weeks after the wedding people approached us and raved about the music from our simcha. Eitan has a beautiful voice, which made our chuppah especially melodic and spiritual. He was instumental in making the wedding as leibadic as it was, because he was genuinely excited to be celebrating with us. Eitan played at our wedding a year ago and tonight hes playing at our shadchans! We couldnt be happier that we chose him to uplift our simcha.

Great performance at the Karlin-Stollman wedding!!
I liked that you guys did a different "Od Yishama" for post-chuppah than usual :)

Every single one of our guests who spoke to us after the wedding mentioned how wonderful they thought you were. You were a total hit!
And from a personal standpoint, we couldn't have been happier. You added so much ruchniyus and excitement to our wedding. It wouldn't have been nearly the same kind of simchah with a different band. You listened so carefully to what we asked for, and you went far above and beyond even that. It was such a pleasure and honor to have you there.
Thank you for the simcha you gave us!!

Eitan's music at our wedding was perfect! The Chuppah was beautiful and the three full sets of dancing were incredibly lively. Eitan and his band had tons of energy throughout the whole night, and they added so much to our simcha. Thanks Eitan!

| Aaron Zev and Shoshana Deutsch |
When we were planning our wedding, we both agreed that the band was THE most important part. Eitan stepped up and took it beyond what we had ever imagined. The chuppah was stunning and emotional and the dancing was so fun, upbeat and very lively, no one wanted it to end! He sang his heart out, and he really had a great handle on the crowd. When our friends and family tell us about our simcha, they said it was the funniest wedding they had been to in a long time, thanks to Eitan Katz!

Thanks to Eitan, we had the most gorgeous sounding chuppah anyone could ask for and had a wedding full of warmth and ruach! So many of our guests commented to us about how much they enjoyed the music. Eitan's voice is truly something special. We would recommend him to anyone!

| Jared and Ilana Berkowitz |
We scheduled the date of our wedding and the hall around Eitan's schedule so we could have him at our simcha. It was absolutely worth it! Eitan sings with such temimus and kedusha that it truly uplifted our simcha. People (frum and non-frum alike) keep telling us how amazing Eitan and the band were. Eitan thank you so much for making our simcha even more memorable.

Hi Eitan,
Just wanted to thank you for the tremendous job you did last week at our wedding, we were thrilled with just everything...the chuppa was beautiful, the dancing was great, the music was not too loud, dignified and leibedik but not wild, just fantastic. So many people were telling us how much they loved the music. And I really appreciated it when you jumped in to dance with me, that was so nice. I know it's a job for you, but you were really mekayem the mitzva of simchas chassan vekallah.
Thank you again!

Eitan and his band are fantastic musicians and are a real pleasure to work with. Each and every one of our friends came up to us either during or after the dancing to tell us they genuinely felt that our wedding was one of the most fun and leibedig that they've been to, and we really have Eitan and his band to thank for that.

The number one comment on our wedding was about the music. Everybody felt the vibe that Eitan gives off. The music was so lively without resorting to pop style music. I trusted him with the songs for our wedding and he went well beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Eitan for any simcha. You will only know what i am talking about after you use him but he changes the face of the simcha. Go team Eitan!!!!

As expected, Eitan did an amazing job with the music at our wedding. It was exactly what we were looking for - the chupa was beautiful and moving, the dancing was upbeat and leibedig, and the entire wedding was infused with spirituality and energy. The music and singing really enhanced our simcha, and many of our guests noticed and complimented the outstanding quality. Thank you so much, Eitan!!

We could not possibly have been more delighted by Eitan and his band. It is now almost 2 months since our wedding and people are still commenting on how much they enjoyed the music. We feel so fortunate to have had Eitan at our wedding and give him the absolute highest recommendation. His music was perfect- beautiful, moving, joyous and filled with simcha and ruach. Just wonderful!

Every time we return to Chicago, which is where our wedding took place, we are approached by people who tell us how amazing the music at our wedding was. Beginning with the pre-wedding meetings and discussions, we cannot have asked for an easier and more pleasant person to deal with. The music Eitan played at our wedding and at many other weddings that I have been to where Eitan played was unparalleled to any other wedding music I have heard. The chupah was a perfect combination of emotion and pure Simcha (check it out: http://www.youtube.com/user/EitanKatzMusic#p/a/u/2/Ld2JJjR8EUQ ). The dance sets were incredible.
Eitan's music is always played with an an awesome and sincere passion. He is not just a band playing at the wedding, but rather a true part part of the wedding. We feel extremely privileged to have had Eitan play our wedding.
Thank you Eitan!

Our wedding was as beautiful as could have ever imagined, and Eitan was a huge part of making that happen. Eitan was extremely easy to work with, and it was clear that his biggest priorities at the wedding were making the Chasson and kallah happy and comfortable, and playing amazing music. He succeed with flying colors. Eitan added beauty to every aspect of the wedding, from the tish to the dancing; Eitan made the night. Thank you so much Eitan for making our simcha as amazing as it was.

Eitan and his band really created an atmosphere that was special. We had SO much fun dancing at our wedding and many of our friends told us they had a great time, too. We also had an amazing kumzitz toward the end of the wedding. Thanks so much Eitan!!

You won't find a more mentchlich performer who infuses his music with warmth, emotion and passion. With his sweet and soulful voice, he remained attuned to and very interactive with the crowd -- while customizing the evening to meet our detailed preferences. We had a fairly high-end affair (last wedding for us!), and Eitan was a big hit all around. He took care of everything, from the string quartet to the 8-piece band. He's not a Carlebach wannabe, although the Carlebach influence is prominent and distinguishes Eitan from the "pretty voices" who put on nice wedding "concerts". Eitan is one of the special ones, who make the wedding into an unforgettable simcha.
You will not be disappointed!

We do not stop getting compliments on the music at our wedding. Eitan and his band did a phenomenal job. The energy in the room was filled to the brim. People were swinging from the chandeliers. We can honestly say that the music that Eitan and his band provided enhanced our simcha and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The one thing we personally were looking for was someone with an appreciation of the beauty that music can provide. Eitan and his band have a certain touch to their instruments that are apparent in their music. The kedusha that is reflected through their music is a clear statement of the kavana they have when the play. Their sole purpose is to bring simcha to the kedusha of a wedding. B"h there are people like Eitan and his band out there! Thank you so much Eitan, we still are on a high from your music at our wedding!!!

Being big fans of Eitan's music, we were excited to have him play at our wedding, and we were not disapointed. He was easy to work with in planning for the wedding and was very professional. His singing at the chuppah was beautiful and the music for the dancing was perfect.

Eitan Katz and his orchestra did an amazing job bringing true liveliness and excitement to our wedding! Poeple kept coming over to us during and after the wedding to compliment us on the quality jewish music we chose! We highly recommend Eitan Katz over any other wedding band that we can recall! Tizku Limitzvos!

Having Eitan play at our wedding added so much to the atmosphere and ruach that was present. People who had never heard of him before commented about how much they loved the music and were still singing the songs for weeks after. Our chuppah was so beautiful and uplifting and it was Eitan's sweet voice and niggunim that made it what it was. When planning our wedding, choosing an appropriate band was a top priority and Eitan and his band lived up to all of our expectations. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a sound that is sincere and soulful yet upbeat and fun. Thanks Eitan!

How many people can say that in the limo leaving their wedding and when they woke up the next morning, one of the first things that came to thier minds was "We have to call Etan and tell him that he did an amazing job! He truly made our wedding perfect." Wow! I know that Etan really did an amazing job because he really puts all his Kochos into his music! Thats just the kind of person he is, he cares to make everyone connect to HaShem through his music." I remember when my wife and I were sitting with Etan deciding which songs to walk down to at our chuppah, I looked at my wife and said "We both like all of Etan's songs so why dont we stick to Etan's music instead of asking him to sing other Jewish Musicians song's. And so Kach Hayah and it was the best move we made! Etan made our chuppah such a memorable moment so enjoy the video! Etan, thank you from the bottom of our heart!

We love all of Eitan's music so we were thrilled to have him play at our wedding. Eitan was a pleasure to work with. The Chuppah was exceptionally beautiful with the unique guitar accompaniment and Eitan's sweet voice. The dancing was lively and tasteful, and the song selection was amazing. Eitan's music truly enhanced our wedding.

Eitan's singing at our wedding was absolutely the highlight! He did both the slow music at the chuppah and the fast dancing music beautifully! He literally didn't stop all night! Eitan was also extremely easy to work with. Thank you Eitan for making our wedding so meaningful!

We were so fortunate that Eitan Katz was able to play at our wedding last year. The atmosphere that he created at our simcha was unforgettable, with a unique blend of musicality, elegance, and ruach. Eitan is a true musician, with a beautiful voice and a sophisticated understanding of what is necessary to make a wedding special for every family. We received a huge number of compliments on the music, with everyone asking who the singer and the band was, even months later. His music appealed to guests from all walks of life. Thank you, Eitan!

Eitan's music really added a wonderful element to our wedding. The chupa was the moving and uplifting time that we wanted it to be both for ourselves and our guests. The dancing very energized and leibidig while still staying refined. In fact for a long while after our wedding, guests continued to tell us how unique, uplifting, and simchadik the music was- Thank you Eitan!

Eitan Katz was a central component to making our wedding as incredible as it was. He provided so much ruach and enthusiasm, and added a truly personal element to the event. He and his band are extremely talented and professional, and we were so lucky to have them play at our wedding! Even a year after our wedding, people still come up to us and tell us how much fun and ruach-filled it was, and we attribute a lot of that to Eitan. Thanks for everything!

We had Eitan 4 years ago at our wedding in new york . Along with his bro Shlomo and his band nochi and his brother and it was a wedding that till this day people are asking about the band. People are still telling us that our wedding was amazing and that the greatest piece was eitan. Eitan I wish you all the bracha and hatzlocha in the world and Hashem should bless you and your family with all the brachos in the world. You are truely a gift from shamayim that was sent to this earth to take us away from all the garbage with your nigunim as well as the simcha that you bring to so many.

It was a dream come true for us to have Eitan play at our wedding in Denver. He was extremely menshlich and professional about everything. He knows how to manage a wedding band extremely well and he was careful to try to make everyone as happy and comfortable as possible, including our parents who are not religious. Our wedding had a mix of all types of Jews and everyone there felt that the place was literally overflowing with joy. Eitan's band was instrumental (get it) in allowing the simcha to express itself in the most beautiful way. He helped bring out the true beauty and holiness of a Jewish wedding. Plus, he is one of the best Jewish musicians around today. Thanks Eitan!

Eitan's music at our simcha was truly sweet , warm, exceptional ,moving, yet extremely dynamic. That is why we carefully chose him, and if it would be our choice, i would exclusively use him in the future. He and his band sing from the heart. I would add that there is a tremendous dynamism as well as Eitan can command a large simcha with a strength of voice both clear and extremely moving. The music reaches to the depths of the soul. I honestly can't say that about others.

can't tell you the amount of times I get the following question. "so you play weddings too? You play fast music? I thought you only play slow kumzitz music..." sometimes it's fun to play along and say something like "ya! I welcome the chosson and kallah, have my band hold candles, and we sing Od Yishoma to the tune of Ana Hashem...". 
he real answer is that there is nothing I enjoy more than playing weddings. Don’t get me wrong. I have tremendous enjoyment and fulfillment from the CDs I release and the concerts that I perform. But a yiddishe wedding... there’s just something different about it. Being a part of the beginning of a Jewish home, and being in charge of the music, which can set the tone of the spiritual level of a wedding, is a great responsibility but even a greater privilege. 
ou will never hear any roaring electric guitars, or aggressive rock beats. In fact at, my weddings, I direct the band very clearly that I don’t play any “rock” music. It doesn’t help me accomplish what I want to accomplish- that is to infuse the people with a sense of k’dusha. We all know how powerful music is and how it can affect our neshomas in the most meaningful way. I am well aware of this and have it on my mind from beginning to end. 
o matter what type of crowd there is at the wedding, from the most yeshivish to modern and everything in between, my goal stays the same- to uplift the wedding through the power of music.
