Heads Up Penny

Booking Heads Up Penny was probably the best decision we made for our wedding. I had some concerns with our wedding being somewhat small in a tight venue, but they did an incredible job and put in 100% effort despite most of my guests not being huge dancers. They were conscious of the venue and were not too loud for the small space. My now husband and I happily danced the night away, and we heard dozens of compliments on how amazing the band was. So many people told us it was the nicest wedding they had ever attended, and I think the band was a huge part of that. Not only did they sound great, they were so personable and learned two songs for us. I am trying to figure out how we can hire them again since we enjoyed it so much. Already planning to check out one of their live shows around town. If you're on the fence about booking these guys, do it!!! You won't have any regrets!

I cannot say enough great things about Heads Up Penny! They were such a breeze to work with and really went above and beyond to make our day perfect, learning new songs for our first dances, mic'ing our officiant, and MC'ing our entire event! Most importantly, they were amazing performers with such a fun setlist. Our guests are still raving about the music a week later. Highly recommend HUP to anyone considering a live wedding band in NC! We can't wait to party with them again.

This band is AMAZING! We were searching all over the place for a band for our wedding. They absolutely crushed it and people were saying it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to! I thanked them too many times to count. They were so good! Would recommend to anyone 10 out of 10 times.

Heads Up Penny played at our wedding in September and were absolutely amazing! They will prepare songs you request to play and have such a variety of songs they can play to keep everyone dancing. We always go to see them play when they are in town!!

INCREDIBLE!! Heads Up Penny crushed every moment! They are amazing musicians and super cool dudes! We’ve gotten countless compliments on our wedding band! They made it such a memorable reception and we couldn’t ask for more!

These guys were the highlight of our wedding! They did the ceremony and reception, and both were AMAZING. The entire process with them was so easy and they were more than accommodating for any song request we gave them. We had read the reviews, but I did not realize how truly awesome they would be. Overall, they are super talented musicians and amazing performers. We received so many comments during and are still receiving texts about how much our guests loved the band. Even a lot of our vendors that were there asked about them because they were so impressed. Would highly recommend, worth every dollar and more.

Heads Up Penny was the perfect wedding band! The guys were so easy to work with, super laid back (all they required was somewhere to plug in), and talented! They even learned a handful of songs that we special requested. Rushton was very responsive to my messages, and he has a great voice! The band also has two EPs of their own original music which I highly recommend!!

Thank goodness they allow 3500 characters bc Heads Up Penny deserves every single one plus more. They were the best part of our wedding reception! Rushton was a dream throughout the entire booking process all the way up to the week of! They learned and customized our first dance song for us, they learned extra songs just for us, and not only did they learn them, they NAILED THEM. I literally cant explain how amazing these guys are! I wish we could do our wedding all over again just so we can have them back! Currently thinking of an excuse for another party so they can play! The variety of songs that Heads Up Penny can play is amazing. Everyone at our reception raved about them and my older brother, who’s a music lover like me, described Rushton as smooth. HUGE COMPLIMENT. My 5 year old daughter keeps talking about them, EVEN BIGGER COMPLIMENT! It takes a special talent to do what these guys do. The transition between genres was impeccable and the vibe never stopped! Our wedding only had about 50 people and they didn’t let that discourage them from performing to their max potential. At the end of the night I was wishing these guys were my friends so I could just hang with them! So down to Earth, cool, and smooth :) THANK YOU HEADS UP PENNY FOR GENUINELY MAKING OUR BREWERY WEDDING A DREAM. I am forever grateful for everything you did for us and we will be coming to watch you guys play again soon! If there is ONE thing you budget for - it’s these guys. No if’s, and’s, or but’s about it. You won’t regret it and you’ll have everyone asking how you managed to get such an awesome group of guys! AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Head's Up Penny was awesome! They played a great song selection for our youngest and oldest guests and they had a very professional set up with sound and lighting. Vocalists and musicians were very talented on a wide range of songs and got everyone dancing. Would absolutely recommend!

Heads Up Penny was amazing! They were so fun and professional to work with and they blew our expectations away! Our wedding was months ago and people are still talking about how great the band was. They had the entire wedding dancing and entertained all night long! Seriously the best!

These guys are ridiculously good. Rushton was a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding on Oct. 20th in Winston-Salem, working with us on requests and setting up logistics. We asked HUP to perform music for the Ceremony and Reception, as well as MC the event. All was done professionally and sounded fantastic. This band's range is tremendous. Country, Pop, Rock, R&B, Soul, it all sounded incredible. Guests came up to us throughout the night asking how we had found them. To top it off, calls of "encore" echoed through the ballroom after the set was complete, and they obliged. I've been to a few weddings, and never heard a band receive a call for an encore. Hiring Heads Up Penny is a NO BRAINER. You will not be disappointed.

We had heads up penny at our wedding on OCT 13 in Charlotte. The band was amazing. A freaking Mazing. Every guest came up to us and said the band was awesome. Simply said, if you don't book them you've made a huge mistake

My husband and I started looking for a wedding band, but no one seemed to fit our style until we found Heads Up Penny. They play everything from country, to pop, oldies, and R&B. We emailed them right away and Rushton was quick to respond. We scheduled a time to see them play in Raleigh, and booked them right after. Then we went to see them play at local places any other time we could. The guys were always sweet and said hi to us when they saw us there. They took our song requests and let us choose songs from their cover list for our wedding. We had a dry wedding, but it was far from boring. They had EVERYONE on the dance floor for most of the reception. We got SO many compliments about our band, and we are beyond happy with the investment. They bring an energy and atmosphere that a DJ just can't compare to. I would definitely recommend booking HUP for your wedding if you want a banging party.

These fellas played our wedding on Bald Head Island and they were fantastic! Highly recommend

These guys came out to Bald Head Island for my brothers wedding. They were top notch! Great blend of music and ton of fun. Can always judge a band by the looks on guest faces when they say it is their last song! Cannot wait to get these guys back to BHI for another event!

AMAZING! We had the best night of our life and definitely have to give credit to Heads Up Penny! They listened to every request we had, were willing to work with our style, and followed through on all details the day of. We HIGHLY recommend them! :)

I don't even know how to begin. My wife saw the guys play at a local bottle shop and absolutely loved them. She inquired about them plating at our wedding and they agreed. Their energy is electric. They put on a show like you would expect from Billboard 100 topper. After hearing the guys play at our wedding, I'm not sure anyone even knew we got married. All anyone could talk about was how awesome the band was. They span almost every musical genre from country to rock to even a little funk. Each member is at the top of their game. These guys seriously know how to rock the crowd. There are thousands of wedding bands out there for you to choose from, but please trust me when I say that no band can make your big day more memorable than HEADS UP PENNY!
