Hank Agency

sphere that resonated with guests of all ages, races, and backgrounds. What sets The Soul of Boston apart is their incredible versatility. From timeless classics to today's chart-toppers, they flawlessly delivered a mix that had everyone dancing and smiling. The band leader, Apollo, not only showcased his musical talents but also proved to be an exceptional MC. His energy and charisma kept the celebration lively, and he ensured that everything stayed on schedule, adding an extra layer of excitement to our special day. What truly impressed us was the personalized touch The Soul of Boston brought to our wedding. Before the big day, they took the time to meet with us, ensuring they understood exactly what we envisioned for our celebration. Their commitment to making sure we felt comfortable with the process and that our preferences were met demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that set our minds at ease. The icing on the cake was when they learned and performed an acoustic version of our chosen wedding song, "Latch." It was a beautiful rendition that added a unique and sentimental touch to our day. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to make our wedding song special exemplified their passion for creating unforgettable moments. Our guests are still talking about the music, praising The Soul of Boston for turning our wedding into a lively and unforgettable dance party. If you're looking for a band that not only understands your vision but exceeds it, The Soul of Boston is the perfect choice. Their personalized approach, musical talent, and dedication to making your day special make them a standout choice for any celebration.

nths before the wedding and needed to cancel. Tania had several great band suggestions at various price points. We decided on Sugah Rush. Eric and his band mates did not disappoint! They played a great acoustic set during cocktails, dinner music during dinner, and kept the dancefloor completely full right after that and until the very end. They were super to work with and all our guests are still talking about how much fun the wedding band was. Just wish we could do it all again!!!

We had the band Umami, led Mel, and they were A PLUS PLUS for both the ceremony and the party. The dance floor was packed for 4 hours straight! The musicians do a great job of engaging the guests and bringing JOY to the event!

ur Maine wedding. Can not recommend them highly enough. They were so much fun and really engaged the guests. The dance floor was packed all night!

r seen at a wedding! The dance floor was PACKED for hours and guests have been contacting me praising the music. Rick Express truly made the night so much fun and I am so grateful for the band's sensational performance, kindness and generosity with their talent!

e morning of my wedding to check in)! Danielle, the lead singer for Ear Candy, was also so accommodating, learning new songs for us and allowing my cousin to join the band for one song! Overall, hiring Ear Candy was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We had great feedback from our guests and would recommend them to anyone!

ive them an 11/10 if I could…can’t thank you all enough!

gettable!!!!

they enjoyed the music, plus they absolutely killed it on our two requested songs for our first dance and father/daughter dance. I could tell that Teresa understood the type of music and genres we were interested in hearing, and they made the night so much fun. My only wish is that we could have had more time to meet the band members before the wedding!

n incredible night thanks to you!!!!! I’d hire them again in a second. Also they killed a few requests like Third Eye Blind and Shania Twain :)

entire band made it a night to remember! They had everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. Thank you so much!

t dances--it was beautiful. They even learned a fun twist on a song that my husband and his friends do back in Buffalo, NY. There was never a lull in the dancing -- everyone danced the entire night. They even stayed for two additional songs! They were dancing with us and had everyone engaged. After the wedding, everyone asked me about the band and raved about them. I love Soul of Boston and would recommend them to ANY BRIDE!

process and made sure everything was running smoothly the entire night. Kathy and the whole team at Hank Agency made this such an enjoyable experience. I will recommend them time and time again as they are INCREDIBLE!!!

me whenever I had a question about the band, but when I had issues finding other vendors she went out of her way to assist me with finding exactly what I needed. I would book with her again and again and I can’t say enough great things about her!

arried at the Wychmere with our incredible band, Hot Mess, to help us party throughout the night was a dream come true!

d he told my husband he nailed the band...they NEVER agree on anything esp. music! The fact that they learned father/daughter song and mother/son song was truly amazing and special. They are undeniably the best cover band we have ever heard. We would highly recommend Hot Mess to anyone looking to hire a band for their special day. Tania Henry at Hank Agency was a pleasure to work with and from the very first phone call to the last, our needs as Bride and groom were number one! The band truly went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect from the names of an exceptionally large wedding party to picking the sets that would ensure everyone was rocking out on dance floor!!! My husband is not a fan of dancing and Hot Mess managed to get him out dance floor to the very last song! This truly made my wedding dreams come true! What a night!

a fantastic party, I would and will definitely hire them again. We had a blast! Honey Train was AMAZING. Thank you Tania, Jason and the whole band. Great job!!

us and said they LOVED them and they were the best band they have heard. Their energy was so upbeat and they joined the crowd, which was so fun and their rendition of shout was unrivaled by any other band. Honey Train is the best choice.

e knew it was a must! Fortunately, my husband’s mother clued us in on a band showcase that was happening on a Sunday in Boston and I was free to go. My husband was in New York so I went with my brother and his wife to check out all the bands playing that day. When Soul of Boston took the stage, our jaws hit the floor. Their talent, energy and presence was off the charts. Within five minutes of their set, I ran over to Gail who works with the group managing the company Soul of Boston is affiliated with, and asked if they were available on our wedding day and if they could pencil us in. The stars aligned, the band was available, and thankfully, my husband trusted me enough to book them sight unseen. Gail was helpful, kind and informative during the hiring process. She never made us feel rushed and was always very responsive to our questions. We were thankful to work with such a warm person on one of the most important pieces of our wedding. We worked with the band leader, Dave, on creating what a customized “soundtrack” for the wedding. Dave was patient, provided great feedback and flexibility on our music choices, and instilled so much confidence in us that we knew we were in for a real treat - and so were our guests! The trumpet and guitar players learned and played a few special songs we chose for our ceremony. It melted my heart hearing them. The band also learned to play our slightly obscure first dance song and they killed it! Once the reception began, the dance floor was packed. It stayed that way the entire night. Everyone says your wedding day is a blur, and it was, but I will never forget all the dancing, energy and permanent smiles on everyone’s faces the entire night. Each member of Soul of Boston is an incredible musician with so much range. They played everything from Motown to classic rock, funk to Ratpack tunes, while sprinkling in a few contemporary hits. You will not go wrong hiring this band for your wedding. My only warning to you and your wedding guests is that you’ll be very sore from all the dancing the next day, which is an excellent problem to have, if you ask me :)

ful, and helped make our event a smashing success. Tania from the Hank Agency and every member of the team was great to work with and very responsive.

out the whole process and Honey Train was beyond fabulous day of. We couldn't be happier having worked with these two amazing vendors and would book them again for any event in a heartbeat!

oke to all ages. And Dave was really great to work with. He was right there all night, coordinating with everyone and keeping things on time. A number of people have asked for the name of our band. We were absolutely thrilled by their performance.

ance floor. The band had great energy and they are all amazing musicians. Dave was easy to work with and even learned a few special songs for us, including one where I played bass with the band to surprise my wife! Gail at Hank Agency was great to work with as well and everything went smoothly. Thanks so much for everything!

and provided great insight and guidance on which band to select. Rick Express was perfect for my event. The band is personable, professional, and most importantly, fantastic musicians!

she was so professional and organized, she made the whole process a breeze. She was so quick to respond to phone calls and emails and made finding the perfect band easy. The music and band were so great are we are very appreciative of everything Tania did to help us have a great wedding.

f the day, and we couldn't be happier with the ease of planning our event with the Hank Agency and with Ralph, the band leader. It was really special that the band even accommodated a guest performance by yours truly, and every other detail was nailed down perfectly. Great, great experience for a most memorable day!

aoke"-style or WAY too expensive for our needs. When I contacted Hank Agency, I was first interested in Honey Train. When I realized I could not budget for Honey Train, they suggested I look at the smaller bands they have - The Buzz being a newly formed band with Hank Agency musicians, and the sister band for Honey Train. We went to the "Wedding Expo" evening, where we saw a dozen of Hank Agency's bands. Not only are ALL the bands fantastic, but the Hank Agency ladies are the best! Kathy and Tania are wonderful - they did so much for us to make our wedding band experience as great and stress-free as it could be. The response-time and professionalism of Hank Agency is great, but they are also genuinely warm and fun-loving people. I couldn't recommend them more highly. As far as The Buzz is concerned...WOW! They are SO much better live than the online videos do them justice - all of them are INCREDIBLE musicians, and their energy, vibe, and style are just so on-point. We had a WONDERFUL wedding experience with The Buzz. They have incredible talent, and they are straight-forward, professional, and fun! Hank Agency is not the "cheapest", but that's because you are paying for quality! High quality! And, Hank Agency and The Buzz are willing to try to work within your budget, honestly and genuinely. That is why we went with Hank and The Buzz, and I wish I had another event to plan so that I could have a reason to listen to them again! Highly, highly recommend The Buzz and any of the other Hank Agency bands - Sugar Rush, Honey Train...the list goes on and on. Superb, my guests could not stop raving about how awesome our band was...thank you Kathy, Tania, Jason, and Dennis...we loved you!

d energy for a magical evening full of love and joy. The crowd was feeding from their energy all night, and they never once held back or let that energy go. They didn't even take a break! So many family members and friends came up to me to say how blown away they were. No one would believe that this was the bands first wedding either. Everyone I talked to was saying how this band could be playing stadiums or any venues they want. It was so surreal. The way that Gimme Five set the energy for the night was sublime. I've never seen such energy from a crowd, at any show. The band are masters of their craft, and they were the definition of professional. The groom said it best. "The band never made it seem like this was work, they were having a blast with the audience and sharing in the experience. After their set they even stayed to dance and socialize with guests, which was so beautiful and unexpected." I would like to thank Gimme Five with all my heart. My sisters wedding was a huge ordeal for our family, perhaps the most important night of all our lives, and this band made the magic happen, and brought everyone closer together to bask in the radiant joys of life and love. Hire this band, and you will never regret it. They will work with you to create a lifelong memory filled with happiness and community. I have always known that music brings us together, but I have never seen this powerful force in action in such a way. Thank you, Gimme Five!! J. Benjamin Chappell

the popular music at the reception. Great attitudes and energy

kly whenever we had a question in the months leading up to the wedding. She couldn't have been easier to work with. MIB2 was absolutely phenomenal on the wedding day from providing beautiful solo guitar music during the cocktail hour to really bringing the party during the reception (seriously, relatives I had never seen dance before got on the dance floor!). MIB2 played a range of songs for all ages and tailored their set list to our preferences. Our guests have been raving about the band in the days since the wedding. We highly recommend Hank Agency / MIB2 to others!

n - and we were not disappointed. The Hank Agency was awesome to work with in planning and also Soul of Boston provided beautiful music for the ceremony as well! I might be slightly biased, but I think we had the most fun wedding I've ever been to! The band was awesome and had everyone out on the dance floor - young and old - all night long. I would book them again in a heartbeat.

ding. Jimmy and the Hat Tricks fit our bill - and I don't mean just price-wise! Jimmy and the Hat Tricks were nothing but on top of their game and accommodating to our wants, needs and desires. They know what it takes to really cater to the needs of their audience as well as the bride and groom. We had a call with the band prior to our wedding to run through all the details and work through any questions or concerns either party had. We had songs we absolutely wanted performed at the wedding, in addition to ones we absolutely did not want to hear (even if someone requested it from the reception!). The band was kind enough to even learn a new song on our behalf so that our selected first dance song could be performed live rather than played on an i-pod. Talk about accommodating! I can't recommend this band enough - from their musical talent to their their professional and experienced presence they truly lived up to our expectations and then some. Our guests were impressed and so were we!

details leading up to our wedding seamless. The band (Sugah Rush) was absolutely phenomenal! The band was friendly, personable and did everything possible to make sure we and our guests had a wonderful time celebrating our nuptials. Not only was the band kind enough to learn our first dance song and the father-bride dance song we requested, they also learned an additional song in honor of our wedding completely unsolicited. But best of all was their great performance. They could play a wide range of songs from current hits to classic rock. The dance floor was poppin' the entire reception and everyone was so into the music that it felt like we were at a concert. The band was so good that they had to play, not one, but two encores. I had never heard of an encore at a wedding before, but Sugah Rush's performance was so good that the crowd just needed more (twice). They are a 5 star band and I highly recommend them and the Hank Agency for anyone's wedding. -Chris (married 9/10/16)

and had every single guest up, out of their seats and tearing up the dance floor... and in some cases, up on stage, tearing up the stage! My now husband, said that his only hope for our wedding was that the dance floor was never empty and that our guests had the time of their lives... well, Men in Black made that dream come true and then some. One of my favorite wedding photos is me strumming lead singer, Jeff's guitar, while my husband is in the background jumping up and singing. Men in Black made our wedding so so so much fun! We're actually going to see them this Friday night play in Salem because we enjoy them so much!

s! You incorporated the guests in songs, played amazing sets and I don't think there was ever any room on the dance floor for more people at any point during the night! You made our night and our wedding!! Thank you so much again! You were beyond our expectations!!! Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing our band was, which makes it all worth it! Would HIGHLY recommend without hesitation!

d, most importantly -- the music was fabulous! We danced our feet off. And at the end of the night, after all our guests had gone, the band played for the two of us under the moon. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

rgy, taught the electric slide, engaged the guests with some special solos. The band also performed some special requests for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Dave was very responsive in the week leading up to the wedding. Many of our guests are telling us Soul of Boston was "the best band ever!". We were very happy with hiring these ladies and gentlemen!

nd solo pianist to the reception music. They deserved a standing ovation, truly. It was such a fun party and that was largely due to the music. They are real artists and musicians and really know how to entertain! Also Hank Agency was very in touch throughout the whole process and very receptive to our requests. Thanks for an unforgettable performance! To everybody out there - you will not regret booking Soul of Boston!

ophonist) and they played at the reception. Pam (from Hank Agency) and Theresa (Pandemonium band leader) were great to work with before the wedding and Theresa couldn't have been better or more intuitive at the wedding, from music selection to announcements. We had 110 guests, from 14 to 95. The dinner music was just fantastic, allowing guests to eat and converse easily. Then they got everyone going by really keying into the vibe of the crowd and going to town with the best dancing music ever! We seriously had 100 people on the dance floor with no one sitting down throughout each set! Also, they obviously gauged the DJ music between sets by the crowd and everyone loved that as well! The night was a succession of guests raving about the band and asking me where they were from and how I found them! Going with a live band - in particular, Pandemonium, was one of the best wedding decisions we made! SO talented, SO professional, SO perfectly suited for this FUN FUN FUN wedding! Thank you, Pandemonium! You were a big part of making this wedding the best time ever!!

us is probably the most on-the-ball responsive, thorough, and pleasant vendor I dealt with. Although his emails can be lengthy, we felt secure and assured that we were a top priority for the Hank Agency. There was some back and forth and a few documents to sign as we confirmed times (we had an early setup for the band at an extra cost). David was always easy to get in touch with, explained the process easily, and was a great coordinator between us, the band, and the lighting contractor. 2. The Band FIRST CLASS was by far the the thing we heard about most from our guests. The band absolutely killed it. As the groom, I have to say, the night went by so fast and I don't really remember the full set, but they played for over 4 hours, and everyone loved it. Concetta and her paino player learned a very unique song cover for our first dance and it was beautiful. My wife an I immediately thanked her when the song ended, it was better than we could have hoped for. In closing, book FIRST CLASS BAND if you have the opportunity to. If you are working with the HANK Agency for another band, rest assured that you will be well taken care of. David will walk you through the entire process and make sure everything is taken care of. All you have to do is respond to his emails and you're all set.

All my fiance and I cared about was that our guests had an awesome time at our wedding and the music was high on that list. We wanted the event to be classy for the ceremony and dinner portion and one big dance party for the reception. They provided us with everything we wanted. They played a ton of jewish songs for the more traditional part of the wedding and then a ton of fun top 40s so we could all dance the night away. From the start, Hank Agency was incredible when it came to communication. They were so easily available via text or phone calls! Any questions I had, it was super easy to get in contact with David or Jay! They made the whole process seamless and actually fun when it came to picking songs and writing out all the details for our event. My family can be quite picky about details and Honey Train surpassed all expectations on our wedding day! Joya was so sweet and kind during our interaction. She and her band members are so talented. I booked them only based on their online videos and never got a chance to see them live. Let me tell you, it was all worth it! They even let one of our friends (a guest) sit in for a song on the drums and do something special for my husband and I! IT WAS AWESOME! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

wedding. No need for line dances to keep people moving, just quality song selection and performances. One month later I'm still hearing compliments. They learned a new song for our first dance and played all of our special requests. The bandleader Jason made sure to call the week before to confirm everything. The base guitarist John brought the house down and the lead singers sounded better than the radio. Can't wait to see them again in the city soon!

aughters wedding at the Westin Copley in Boston and with the amazing help of booking this band David Janis was on point .. They brought everyone onto the dance floor all night long ...thank you Hank Agency and David..you were amazing to deal with .. So easy and always responsive throughout the process. And a HUGE thank you to Men in Black for making Lindsay and Chris's dream come true ... They asked for the best band out there and that's what we got... Jeff Fraser you and all of your band made the night a fun filled rocked out party !!

ing with David and the Hank Agency was also amazing and made the planning process so much easier and more fun! We highly recommend Hank Agency for your wedding.

brought everyone to their feet (her voice is amazing) and they had our guests dancing all night long! We received so many complements both at our wedding and after on how great of a band they were! We worked with Pam at Hank Agency and she was incredible to work with throughout - well organized, thoughtful and always on top of the little planning details! Concetta was also easy to work with - she made sure the evening flowed perfectly and we cant thank them enough for making this night a night to remember! If you are looking for a fun band that knows how to keep a crowd going - book First Class Band!
