Hank Agency

Tania Hank runs the agency and she is fantastic! Responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, great listener to what the clients want, caring, good sense of humor, and highly professional! 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!

We loved working with the Hank Agency Group. They were very professional and even contacted me when I accidentally overpaid them! We also absolutely LOVED the Soul of Boston for our 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!

The Rick Express played at our wedding in June and to say they were incredible is the understatement of the century. They are truly the best most fun band I have ever listened to or 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!

We had Ear Candy at our NYE wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Tania and the team at Hank Agency were great at making all the initial arrangements (and even calling me on the 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!

We were fortunate enough to have Lucky 13 play our wedding last week The guests were positively stunned at how insanely good every band member was at their specific role! I would give them an 11/10 if I could…can’t thank you all enough!

We hired Rick Express from HA and honestly should have been charged double. They were AMAZING. Our friends and family are still talking about this band years later. They were unforgettable!!!!

We LOVED having Pandemonium at our wedding! Truly a flawless group, they come with everything they need and kept everyone partying! Multiple people came up to us to share how much 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!

Everyone raved about Soul of Boston. They made the night SO FUN and kept everyone dancing all night. Thank you Apollo, Gail, and all for your help and attention to detail! We had an 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 :)

We hired Lucky 13 and they were the best!! Tania (agent) was so easy to work with. Allison (lead singer) made sure that the set list and vibe was tailored to us and our guests. The entire band made it a night to remember! They had everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. Thank you so much!

The Soul of Boston was the BEST. They made our reception AMAZING. They were fun, upbeat, and had the entire dance floor packed the entire night. They learned our songs for our first 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!

Book SUGAH RUSH for your wedding. Hands down, best wedding band! My guests will not stop raving about how AWESOME they were. Eric was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire 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!!!

I wrote a review for my band “men in Black” as they were fantastic but the planning and booking process wouldn’t have been so perfect if it wasn’t for Tania. Not only did she email 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!

From start to finish Tania was helpful and attentive to detail. She supported us through this whole process and helped make our day even better than we would ever expect! Getting married at the Wychmere with our incredible band, Hot Mess, to help us party throughout the night was a dream come true!

Hot Mess was the talk of the night. Friends and family who had never heard of them before fell in love with them right after the first set. My husband’s brother is from New York and 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!

I hired Honey Train through the Hank Agency for my Company Holiday Party. From the first phone call with Tania who made the whole experience easy and enjoyable to the end result of 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!!

Honey Train was AMAZING!! They were so nice and great to work with. They made selecting all of the songs and getting a schedule together a breeze. So many of our guests came up to 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.

When my husband and I began planning our wedding we knew a key component for our special day would be having a great live band. We both love dancing and are big concert goers, so we 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 :)

RickExpress was FANTASTIC! Each member of the band is an incredible musician in their own right and the lead singer, Ricky's, voice is impeccable. They were fun, interactive, soulful, 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.

We had Honey Train for our wedding, working with them through Hank Agency, and were thrilled with the entire experience. Tania and Kathy were so sweet and easy to work with throughout 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!

Soul of Boston was fantastic! We requested special ceremony music and they did a beautiful job. During the reception our guests were dancing all night due to SOB's playlist that spoke 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.

We booked Soul of Boston for our wedding and they did an amazing job! We got so many compliments from our guests and even the venue staff. Everyone had a blast and was out on the dance 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!

I booked Rick Express through Tania at the Hank Agency. Both she and the band were amazing to work with! From the first meeting I had with Tania, she listened to all of our needs 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!

We booked our band Honey Train through the Hank Agency and both were fabulous. Honey Train kept everyone dancing all night and were a blast! We worked with Tania to book them and 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.

As my wife and I celebrate our one year Anniversary, we both can reflect on how awesome it was to have MIB2 for our wedding. The band were probably the most talked about feature of 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!

The Buzz was the best band for our wedding...we could not be happier!!! When I first looked for wedding bands, the task was daunting and discouraging - everyone was either too "Karaoke"-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!

I don't even know where to begin... It's difficult to describe how incredible this wedding experience was. Gimme Five is far more than just a fun wedding band. They set the tone and 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

Everyone loved the band, they were spot on with keeping EVERYONE happily on the dance floor. My guests were impressed w the variety of music as well - their jazz during dinner and the popular music at the reception. Great attitudes and energy

We booked MIB2 through Hank Agency for our wedding and they were AWESOME. Gail at Hank Agency was super responsive from the first time we reached out and always got back to us quickly 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!

We booked Soul of Boston for our daughter's wedding this past June 10th and we are so glad we did!! It was important to us that everyone was out on the dance floor for the reception - 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.

My husband is in a band so when it came to finding a band for our wedding it was one of our top priorities - one of the items of on our list that had to be "just right" for the wedding. 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!

We booked Sugah Rush through the Hank Agency and could not have been happier about the experience. The Agency was very responsive and helpful and made the band booking process and 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)

Almost a month later and friends and family are still talking about our wedding band, Men in Black! Everyone loves live music, Men in Black took their performance to the next level 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!

We booked MIB2 for our wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine and we could not be happier! The ceremony music was perfect and people were raving about the cocktail hour music song choices! 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!

We booked Soul of Boston for our wedding and they were fantastic -- really they could not have been better. They were great to work with, very professional and very responsive - and, 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.

My husband and I had Soul of Boston perform at our wedding on 9.17.16-- they rocked the house! The dance floor was packed all night with guests of all ages. The band had great energy, 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!

Dave Ellis and Soul of Boston were unbelievable. They really helped make the wedding. We and ALL of our guests were blown away by their performance, from the acoustic guitarist and 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!

We booked Pandemonium for our daughter's wedding on 7/30/16 and could not be happier that we chose them! We had five band members (added the keyboardist - you can also add the saxophonist) 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!!

We hired FIRST CLASS BAND for our wedding in Portsmouth, RI on 7/15/16. I will present this review in two parts: 1. The Hank Agency 2. The band 1. The Hank Agency David Gianopolous 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.

Thank you to Honey Train and the Hank Agency for throwing one hell of a party on our wedding day this past weekend!!! They were incredible! They were fantastic! I can't say enough! 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!!!

Perhaps with the exception of marrying my husband, booking Hot Mess was one of the best decisions ever. They can rock a party at any bar and certainly filled the dance floor at my 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!

Unbelievable !!! Wow!! Men in Black was the best we could have asked for !!! They rocked out all night long and never missed a beat !! Jeff Fraser and his band performed for our daughters 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 !!

We booked Men in Black for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our decision! They kept the dance floor packed all night long and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Working 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.

We booked First Class Band for our wedding - and they were awesome! From start to finish - all the details were flawless! Every member of the band did a great job, Concetta really 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!

Lucky 13 played our outdoor wedding back in September and we wish we could give them more than 5 stars! They were amazing and kept everyone dancing the night away. We had them do everything from the ceremony to the reception. They did an acoustic 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!!!

BOOK HOT MESS FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!!! Its been about 4 months since our wedding day and people are still taking the time to tell me how amazing our wedding band was! We booked Hot Mess through the Hank Agency. Everyone was very responsive and 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!
