Hank Agency

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!

sh) 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)

p 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!

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!

t 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.

cial 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!

g 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!

cy) 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!!

easant 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.

ome 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!!!

lity 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!

zing 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 !!

planning process so much easier and more fun! We highly recommend Hank Agency for your wedding.

ad 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!

ustic cocktail hour, lovely dinner music, and then rocked it for the rest of the night. We have guests still asking us where they can go see Lucky 13 play! We just might have to hire them for an anniversary bash! If you want a band that are professional, fun, and keep everyone moving - hire Lucky 13!!!

helpful throughout the whole planning process. Jason was amazing working with us to personalize the music to our taste and style. He really took the time to get to know us so that the music truly enhanced our wedding celebration. He is so helpful and kind, he even cut down some of our mp3 tracks for special dances. Communication and personalization were really important during the wedding process for my husband and I and we would give Hot Mess and A+ in this category. Not only is this band extremely professional leading up to the big day but they absolutely blew us away when they started playing. The dance floor was packed all night. They had everyone dancing, even the older members of our families! Their talent is unmatched by any other wedding band I've ever seen and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding. Book Hot Mess for your wedding day before someone else does!

d instead of a DJ. Men in Black They was so accommodating and moved the wedding along nicely. Jeff was a pleasure to work with and to discuss all the details with. I truly cannot say enough about this band, they were absolutely phenomenal. -GK

ay one, really open to our thoughts about the vibe we were going for, but also very willing to offer suggestions/feedback based on their experiences. Jeff totally has a knack for feeling out the crowd and we knew we could trust them to respond in the moment and be flexible with song choices as the night progressed. They also took care of our ceremony and cocktail hour music which was wonderful and really streamlined things for us. We have gotten more compliments about the band than anything else from our friends and family and many have mentioned that they've never seen a dance floor so packed at a wedding. I will also note that they skipped their usual (brief) breaks, expect for dinner, because they could tell people wanted to keep on dancing! You won't regret booking Men in Black!

band they've ever seen at a wedding!

ook them for our wedding! We scheduled an acoustic set during the cocktail hour and then the full band played for our reception. The dance floor was packed all night, and many of our guests told me that Hot Mess was the best band they've heard. Tania at Hank Agency, who manages the band, was extremely helpful during the booking process and answered every little question I had. Jason and the rest of the band were great in meeting our expectations for the music vibe we wanted at our reception and working with us to have an amazing night! I would recommend them for any event.

r me right away while I was in the planning stages,and was always wanting to help and offer suggestions . Tania the band manger was also very attentive and helpful.The band members are all professional and so incredibly talented. Concetta made the timeline of the night flow so smoothly with out any issues I or anyone noticed,I didn't have to worry about a thing and that was the greatest gift ! The band has a great vibe we wouldn't of wanted anyone else playing at our wedding .

y was wonderful - she always responded to our questions in a timely manner and was so friendly throughout the process. Jason was also a pleasure to work with, taking plenty of time to make sure he understood what kind of music we did and did not want at our wedding. Other bands we spoke with did not seem to want our input when it came to song selection - they would all tell us that they "knew what they were doing" and "not to worry." We felt very comfortable that Jason really understood our style and would be on-point with what we and our guests wanted to hear. They were also extremely flexible when it came to the schedule for the evening when our reception started later than originally planned, and we were grateful when they agreed to play for an extra half hour. They quickly adjusted the number of breaks they planned to take and once they got the party on track, it did not stop. The band even allowed my husband and I to sing a duet during one of their breaks, which we greatly appreciated. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long thanks to Honey Train's awesome variety of songs - there was something for every person at our wedding. Music is one of the most important aspects of our lives, and our wedding was no exception. Honey Train did not disappoint - in fact, they delivered above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, high-energy wedding band who is also committed to customizing the experience as much as possible. Thank you again, Honey Train for the best party ever!!

Hank Agency. She is so easy to work with - friendly & professional. I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking to book in the Boston are. They truly exceeded all of our expectations for the night. We knew they were going to be good but they were AWESOME!

r guests is an understatement. Hot Mess seriously ROCKED the tent, and the cocktail hour, and the ceremony. They do it all, and they do it all so very well. Throughout the entire reception, as I looked at the dancing crowd, all I could see were smiles on the faces of our friends and family. We couldn't have been happier that the incredible show Hot Mess put on! Seriously! As for the planning process, Tania from the Hank Agency was amazing. She was SUPER responsive and very helpful. She even called the day before the wedding to wish us a great time! Jason from Hot Mess was also incredible! We were able to chat over the phone to discuss all of the details of the day/ night, and he NAILED it, down to pronouncing every one of our family and friends names correctly during introductions! If I had to do it all over again and again, I would pick HOT MESS EVERYTIME! You can't go wrong :)

not disappoint. They worked with us starting months in advance to come up with a timeline and did not even hesitate when we asked for them to customize our father/daughter and mother/son dances. MIB2 did an awesome job playing to our crowd and had EVERYONE on the dance floor the whole entire night!! The band/music was by far the biggest compliment we received from our guests. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone.... just be ready to kick off your shoes and dance the night away!

blast! Thank you to MEN IN BLACK for making our wedding one of the best our friends have ever been to.

asn't too loud. I knew it was going to be a great night when cocktail hour started with two of the band members playing outside on the terrace, they sounded amazing, choose perfect songs and even took some crowd requests! After hearing them play during cocktail hour we could not wait for the rest of the night. Our first dance song that they learned "Love Like Crazy", exceeded expectations! They sounded better than the original! Everything they played for the rest of the night was as if Jon and I had given them a list of songs to specifically play! At one point I looked around the room and every single guest was dancing! Everyone, young and old, loved the song choices and were dancing the entire night! It was awesome! EVERY guest has made a point to say how much fun they had that night and I know a lot of that is due to Liquid Courage! Thanks to Tania and the band for making our night perfect!

le not only through the planning process, but also throughout the entire wedding day. When I say the band had EVERYONE on the dance floor the entire night, I mean it. They played all types of music and literally had the crowd dancing the entire time. I'm still getting phone calls and texts from people talking about the band and we could not be happier we chose Hot Mess! I cannot say enough how much I'd recommend them!

VED about them, and so did we! Working with Jason made everything go so smoothly, and he really kind of acted as a coordinator for the flow of the night. He was so knowledgeable, and he was really able to advise me on many things that I frankly had no idea about. My guests (and my husband and I!) were literally up dancing ALL NIGHT. Not just for one or two songs, ALL NIGHT the dance floor was PACKED. I just can't say enough good things about them, I could ramble on and on, but they truly did provide the MOST amazing, memorable atmosphere and entertainment for my wedding. They were the soundtrack to the BEST night of my life so far, and what an amazing soundtrack it was. Brides, if you are having a hard time committing to booking this band for your wedding, JUST DO IT. Will it be a little pricier than say, just booking a DJ? Sure, BUT ITS WORTH IT. I said to my husband the day after the wedding that the band was the most "worth it" thing we booked for the night. Unfortunately, your guests aren't going to remember every little detail that you have obsessed over for MONTHS, but they will remember three things: the dress, the food, and the entertainment. Give them something worth remembering! Sincerely, I would absolutely recommend this band to anyone and everyone, and I am so grateful for all the hard work and amazing talent that they provided to help give me a night I'll never forget.

nswer all my questions. My entire experience with Tania and Hank Agency was wonderful. And then to top it all off Men In Black were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding. Besides being extremely talented, they have an energy about them that kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night! They appealed to everyone, the younger crowd as well as the older crowd. They arrived on time, were sure to set up and sound check before the cocktail hour and were very professional. Everyone thought they were spectacular. I would hire Men In Black over and over again. We will be following them around Boston to hear them perform every chance we get!

5. Tania was efficient, responsive, professional in all email/phone calls. I felt very comfortable coordinating with her. She had all of my information at her fingertips and I was confident that she was on top of her game. Not only that, but she remembered so many little details I had mentioned in our conversations. Timeliness of response: 5/5- Tania either emailed or called with follow-up. When she needed to get more information, she let me know realistic timing. Last-minute-detail-planning: 5/5. Jeff, the leader of MIB, arranged to call us a few weeks out to discuss the full schedule, as well as review pronunciations/requests. He accommodated several last-minute requests (as well as LEARNED a song for our last slow-song!). I had complete faith that he had everything under control. Day-of: 10/5. Men in Black exceeded every expectation (and we had high expectations!). They told us to trust them with the flow of the wedding - they were SO right. Many of our guests commented that it moved along at just the right pace and they LOVED the song that they played right before dinner to set the mood for a great time. By the end of the wedding, they had everyone on their feet! Value: Tania worked with my budget to make a dream come true. My father always wanted a live band at a wedding and Tania flexed to give us a great deal to make it a reality. Overall: From start to finish, Tania and Jeff were excellent to work with. We appreciated how they remembered all of the little details (we mentioned a few of my husband's favorite songs and they played them when they announced us!) and were quick with responses. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out. We still hear from our guests that it was one of the best weddings they have attended. Having a band was a splurge for our budget, but we did not regret one minute or penny of it. One closing remark...Trust Jeff and his expertise - I guarantee your day will be as rockin' as mine was! p.s. We can't wait to go see their alternate band "Spike the Punch" at bars around Boston again! It's a GREAT way to spend a night out!

ut to them. They made the entire process a breeze. Theresa and the rest of the band were so professional and our guests loved interacting with them throughout the whole reception (definitely made for some great and hilarious pictures)! They did a great job learning our wedding song even though it wasn't part of their set list and it sounded beautiful. They were also quite affordable, especially considering some of the quotes I had received from some other Boston area bands, so the quality for the price could not be beat! They truly are the best and I have already recommended them to everyone I know!

hley and the entire band infused the reception with a tremendous amount of energy and an exceptional set list. We booked Searles for a long reception and Hot Mess never took their feet off the pedals! We had over 70 guests in the 30 and under category and a little more in the older folks category. Hot Mess had EVERYONE dancing continuously! Jason and team are extremely easy to work with. They take the time to gather info about the bride and groom and provided the tunes for an exceptional evening. Both my wife and I were told by many of the guests at some point during the evening that Hot Mess was the best wedding band they had heard! The sound in Searles tent was fantastic and I need to give them credit for tuning perfectly to the environment. There was no reverb bouncing off of hard surfaces and you could still have conversations back at the tables without losing your voice! Hot Mess made the evening one to remember for bride and groom (and many others :)) !!

ould travel out here. Not only were they completely on board there was no travel fee keeping it all within budget and comparable to other bands in the area. Tania at Hank Agency was awesome to work with throughout the process. She was responsive, understanding, and able to address any issues or concerns that arose. Teresa our contact with the band was also extremely kind and easy to work with. Through the paperwork we had submitted all it took was one 10 minute phone call the week of the wedding to iron out any last minute details. Pandemonium truly made my wedding the wedding of my dreams. All of our guests were up dancing right after the toasts and the dance floor stayed packed throughout the night. The only thing I would have changed was to keep them playing longer!
