What Our Clients Say

Please hire them. Best band ever, we had Latin jazz music at our wedding, and I gave such a great vibe to it.
Sara Hoyos,   Atlanta, GA
Hiring COT band was the best decision we made in all of our wedding plans! We had a mixed crowd of guests including Puerto Ricans and Americans, and the live Latin music was a hit for everyone. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening! We have received so many compliments from our guests about the band. In addition, Willie and the team have been so kind and great to work with throughout the entire process. I absolutely recommend!
Ashley Jenkins,   Asheville, NC
This is a fantastic band ! They play the best music, and are so much fun ! Love COT
Priya Paul,   Atlanta, GA
C.O.T. Band provided an outstanding evening of entertainment to accompany a fundraising dinner for us. We had a (nominally) Old Havana styled evening and their music was the perfect accompaniment for our chef’s menu. They brought just the right energy and were very accommodating of our small quarters. Throughout the booking process, Willie was always responsive (though in no way pushy); meeting him and his band in person on the evening of the event reassured me that this had been the right choice. I cannot underscore how impressed we were with this C.O.T. Band from the beginning through the end – a professional, talented, and delightful group that exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any one for an enjoyable performance!
Brian Mullaney,   Atlanta, GA
We had such a great time last night with COT Band. The playlist was on point and they did a great job accommodating song requests. When they weren't performing live they kept the party going with a great selection of salsa, merengue, bachata and reggaeton. I highly recommend COT Band if you want to dance the night away.
Sergio Chinchilla,   Atlanta, GA
We have hired Willie and Juan from the COT band for several Georgia Hispanic Bar Association events over the past two years, each with around 300 guests. They are absolutely fantastic! Their Latin and salsa music, complete with incredible live horn instruments, always gets the party going and keeps the energy high. They are professional, punctual, and incredibly respectful—everything you could hope for when booking live entertainment. If you want a lively, unforgettable event with top-tier musicians, COT band is the way to go. Highly recommend!
William Ortiz,   Atlanta, GA
C.O.T band was amazing!! From the start, they were extremely communicative, easy to work with, and made the planning process a breeze. They were also super flexible when we had to get creative to work around some rain. They put on a GREAT SHOW. Everyone was dancing and having a great time! I'd book again in a heartbeat. I am so thankful to have worked with this band!
Logan Epperson,   Chattanooga, TN
