Thanks to the talented band members of Hipshot our dance floor was PACKED from start to finish. Our guests were raving about how great the band was.

If you want a band that can keep everyone on the floor dancing the whole night long, that's Hipshot! We heard them at a Boston Seafood Festival and were so glad we stumbled upon th...
em. They can sing any and every song from classic hits to Bruno Mars. Everyone from my 70-80 year old relatives to youngest cousins were up and out of the chairs the whole night. They also closed the night with two extra bonus songs because they could just feel the energy in the room. Thank you to the team for dazzling us with your musicality and making our wedding night one to remember!
We hired Hip Shot in 2018 for our wedding planned for 2020… due to the pandemic we had to wait until 2022 to FINALLY have our dream wedding celebration! HIPSHOT communicated with u...
s throughout the entire ordeal and stayed true to our original price and contract. They brought down the house and were the stars of our evening! With a personal mic, a conga line with lead singer to join, saxophone, trumpets, keys, drums galore and so much more. Our friends and family can not speak enough to how awesome this band was. We can’t wait to see them play again!
We can't recommend Hipshot enough. It was important to us to have a great live band at our wedding and Hipshot delivered and then some. Their musicianship AND showmanship are top n...
otch, they don't just stand up there and play. They jam out, get involved with the crowd, and get EVERYONE dancing. They will absolutely take your wedding to the next level. Our guests were all raving about them. Not to mention, their lead singer/manager (Sharlene) is great to work with and was very accommodating to our requests. They are true professionals.
I am literally writing this review less than 24 hours after our wedding! Sharlene and the 7 piece band we hired for our Cape wedding was UNREAL! My husband and I are in our 20’s an...
d majority of our guests were our college friends….. sharlene and the band had EVERYONE including my 85 year old grandmother on the dance floor the entire night. They were a part of the dance floor which I LOVED.
Y’all were the best thing I hired for our wedding! Our guests couldn’t stop telling me how wonderful the band was! Sharlene even went up to my auntie who is wheelchair bound and has MS and danced with her. I’m telling you. Do yourself a favor and hire these beautiful souls 😍
Thank you hipshot band! I appreciate all of you and thank you for sharing your gift of music and positive vibes and energy to the most perfect weekend of my life!
Hipshot was amazing. Our guests danced all night long. The band was energetic, professional, and great to work with. Many thanks to the band and lead singer, Sharlene!

WARNING: If you do not want people to dance at your wedding, this is not the band for you.
I cannot say enough good things about Sharlene and the crew of Hipshot. Even months a...
fter the wedding, the first thing friends and family mention of when talking about our wedding day was how awesome our band was. The Band set the tone for the entire night and I do not think there was a single person sitting during the party time. They even got my no-fun brother-in-law on the dance floor which is a miracle in itself.
The energy was electric all night and was a key piece on why our night was as amazing as it was. Highly Recommend!
Hipshot took our wedding to a whole different level. People didn't stop talking about the band the days following the wedding and how fun and talented they were! We had a 7-piece b...
and for the reception and a trio for cocktail hour. Sharlene was wonderful to work with and flexible with all the changes we threw her way (wedding postponement, date change, venue change). Everyone loved Hipshot! You won't be disappointed! Thanks Hipshot :)

d! Sharlene was amazing to work with - super responsive, talked to us over the phone in detail about what we wanted and what we didn't want. The band went into the crowd which I LOVE seeing at weddings. It was the best night of my life and Hipshot definitely helped with that! I would recommend them to anyone!
HIPSHOT MADE OUR WEDDING!!! All of our guests RAVED! They are so talented and are a dream to work with. They learned songs for us, made sure the reception ran smoothly, and have th...
e best energy and sound! We cannot thank them enough! Look no further for your wedding band at a great value!
They are a very very good band, and very reasonably priced. Very co-operative, friendly and easy to work with. They are best playing some of the 70s-90s old romantic songs, the cla...
ssics, really very good. The only thing is that my venue did not allow amplified music after 6pm, and that part I think it was just a little too quite. One suggestion is to add brass instruments in the future. Still, overall, extremely good.
Hipshot is composed of some amazing musicians that will get everyone on the dance floor! They really know how to play. All of our guests LOVED them!! My grandma, who is a pianist h...
erself, even commented on how tight these musicians are. They know just about every song too! Our MC was super friendly and professional and they rocked the house! Really fun band and super professional to work with. Highly recommend them if you want a live band for your wedding! Live music really adds something special that DJ just can't achieve.

We were fortunate to select the Hipshot Band LLC for my wife's 70th birthday party and the 60 or so guests attending.
Dancing was an important part of our celebration and we could ...
not have picked a more professional or entertaining band.
Hipshot's music, energy and interaction with those attending were beyond our highest expectations. Throughout the evening, we received numerous compliments from our guests over what a incredible and fun band we had for the event.
If you are planning an event with dancing and want to ensure your guest will dance the night away, you cannot make a better decision than hiring the Hipshot Band LLC.
