Hoopla Band NEPA blew us (and all of our guests) away! They performed at our wedding at Stroudsmoor Country Inn and were hands-down one of the best parts of the entire day. Their r...
ange was incredible—from classics to current hits—and they had everyone on the dance floor all night. We asked for very specific songs to be played at specific times. They all were, and it went so smoothly. Nick (our main point of contact) went above and beyond in making our day special... He had the band learn our first dance song, and parent dance songs that they played beautifully, just for our wedding. The band, DJ, and sound tech worked together seamlessly to keep the energy high and the music flawless. Almost all of our guests told us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen, and we truly believe Hoopla was a huge reason why people said it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve ever been to. Don't hesitate booking this crew for a second. Highly, highly recommend!
