Hot Mess

We hired Hot Mess to perform at our wedding in late June this year and it was the best decision we made. If they are available for your date you should book them immediately (or better yet, book your date around when they are available, seriously). They performed piano for our ceremony, guitar for cocktail hour, and full band for the reception. They are all timely, professional, energetic, dress to impress, and such talented musicians and performers. Jason is incredible to work with. He customized the whole night to our preferences, and the dance floor was packed for the entire reception. We have heard from dozens of guests that they are hands down the best wedding band they have ever experienced, including our cousin who is in a band himself. Did we mention how talented each and every musician is?! My husband and I spent the whole night on the dance floor with our guests too (and he's not much of dancer usually). Run don't walk to book Hot Mess for your wedding! They are a game changer.

We were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of witnessing Hot Mess at two weddings prior to ours. Once we started planning our wedding our first priority was to secure Hot Mess for music and entertainment, without considering any other options. Throughout the planning process Jason and Co were detailed and easy to work with. When our wedding week came, there was no one more hype than Jason and that carried through to our wedding day. Our goal for Jason was to keep a high energy vibe all night and he and the rest of the band got it done. At times it felt like the dance floor wasn’t big enough, a true sign of a good time. Just over 6 weeks from our wedding and our friends and family are still raving about the one and only, HOT MESS BAND. We couldn’t be more thankful for the friendship we’ve formed with Jason and we feel so incredibly lucky to have had the whole band (steel pan trio and all) to throw a knock out party for our big day.

I'm leaving a wedding this group just performed at right now. I've been to dozens of weddings and this was far and away the best band/dj/lead I've ever seen. By. Far.

Hot Mess is truly the BEST wedding band and my husband and I cannot recommend them enough! We hired Hot Mess for our fall wedding and our guests are still raving about how phenomenal the music was several months later! The band manager, Gail, was our point person leading up to the wedding and was a delight to work with. She is so kind, responsive, and super helpful with the entire planning process. A few weeks before the big day with spoke with Jason to review our song choices, timeline, intro’s, etc. We knew the moment we starting chatting with him that we were going to be in for one AMAZING wedding night! Jason’s energy and enthusiam is truly second to none. One thing that was super important to us was our first dance that was choreographed to Dancing in the Moonlight and the Hot Mess band absolutely crushed it - even our dance instructor was so impressed at how Hot Mess was able to replicate the exact tempo of the song. Thank you Gail, Jason, and the entire Hot Mess crew for being the BEST part of our wedding night!!!

If you want an absolutely SPECTACULAR wedding band, look no further. Hot Mess was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. Jason, Gail, and the entire Hot Mess team was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They were super accommodating, kind, helpful, and they had endless patience when working with a very distracted bride. :) During the wedding itself, they had all 130 people on the dance floor from start to finish, and everyone had an incredible time. They truly went above and beyond to make our day extra special, such as learning a song in Portuguese and changing into pink outfits halfway through the night. It has been almost 6 months since our wedding, and our guests still can't stop talking about our amazing wedding band! I truly can't recommend Hot Mess enough; they are the whole package and so so much more!! THANK YOU to Hot Mess for making our wedding day the absolute best.

Jason and the entire Hot Mess band are hands down the BEST wedding band out there. The energy Jason and the team brings to the night (and lead up) are bar none. They had everyone at my wedding, from the youngest guest to the oldest guest, out on that dance floor from start to finish. As Jason would say, we went to "the moon and back" that night!! Best night of my life and it's all because of The Hot Mess! Best energy, best vocals, best song list, best communication, best quick wit, best vibe, best outfits, I could go on. I am still on cloud 9 writing this... these guys know how to ignite a party! Love you Hot Mess!

I am less than 12 hours married and woke up immediately to write Hot Mess a five star review! LOOK NO FURTHER & HIRE THIS BAND! The band was amazing to work with. They were so organized and helpful during the planning process but also made our entire night! Our guests love a good dance floor and Hot Mess delivered. Jason is awesome and is so passionate about what he does! I was truly sad when the night was over and wished they could have played for another hour! I can’t wait to find future shows they play at so we can enjoy it all over again! BEST. BAND. EVER. THANK YOU HOT MESS!

Hot Mess brought the absolute party!!! The most epic band EVER and our guests continue to rave about them. If you want someone who is extremely attentive to detail and knows how to bring every single person onto the dance floor, look no further. Jason is phenomenal and so easy to work with. I wish we could give them 10 stars — you will think you’re at a concert and they sound even better than the actual artists.

Hiring Hot Mess was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. We had a 240-person wedding, so looking for a band that could handle that big crowd was a concern. Throughout the interview process, reading past reviews and checking out their performances, we were confident we were making the right decision and boy oh boy, were we right. Jason and his team absolutely blew the roof off the place. We needed a big dance floor and it was PACKED all night. And of course, everyone is still raving about the band weeks and months later!!

If you are lucky enough to book Hot Mess for your wedding day, wowowowow. Get ready for the party of your life. First of all, before you even GET to the party, Hot Mess is an absolute dream to work with. Gail was our point person until we were introduced to Jason, and let me just say, Gail is an absolute delight. Her professionalism, positive energy, and all around fun loving attitude shines through in literally every email she writes and makes this process FUN. She is the type of person who when you receive an email from her, you know she's got this, she's got you, and everything is under control. You don't have to worry about a thing. (Thank you so much, Gail!!) As for Jason the band leader, you will be hard pressed to come across a more authentic, genuine, energetic, warm, fun individual who so genuinely wants your day to be the absolute best day it possibly can be. He must work with so many couples, but he made my husband and I feel like the only couple and only wedding in the world. We first spoke with Jason a few weeks out of our wedding, and the attention to detail, openness to any ideas we had, and overall enthusiasm was such a breath of fresh air after the stress of wedding planning. He is a consummate professional and all around great guy. Getting off the phone with him, my husband and I just looked at each other and said, wow, this is gonna be an AMAZING night. AS FOR THE BAND! Holy cow. They are FANTASTIC. From start to finish the energy was off the charts, the song choices were spot on, and everyone was on the dance floor from start to finish. Guests were raving about them, we were raving about them, it is not an exaggeration to say they made the night. Thank you so much to everyone involved with Hot Mess!! And go email Gail right now to book them for your own wedding!!!! Go!!!

I still cannot thank the band enough for how INCREDIBLE they were!! From the first time we spoke with Jason, he made sure that everything was going to be perfect on the day, and they did not disappoint. Every guest was on the dance floor the entire time, and people are still talking to us about how great the band was!! Thank you so much for making this an unforgettable night!!

From start to finish, Jason and the entire band made our wedding day incredible! So easy to work with, great energy, professional and most of all FUN! My wedding guests were up on on their feet dancing the entire time ( exactly what we wanted). Since our wedding day we have had so many of our family and friends reach out saying the Band was the absolute BEST! Thank you Hot Mess for making our wedding a day we will never forget! Can not recommend enough!!! We love you!

The first decision we made after choosing our wedding date and venue was getting Hot Mess as our wedding band! We actually chose our wedding date based on their availability. My best friend from childhood had Hot Mess as their band, so we knew how incredible they were. We had multiple friends tell us our wedding was one of the best weddings they’ve been to because of Hot Mess. The band is so talented, and Jason is the best MC you could ask for. He picks an awesome set list and really knows how to keep the momentum going throughout the night. Hot Mess was truly the best decision we made!!

The best band ever! We just had our wedding in June and our guests are still talking about it how great Hot Mess was. The dance floor was full the entire reception! I didn't have to worry about a single thing, Jason and Gail were so helpful throughout the entire process and day-of was absolutely seamless. Look no further!

Hot Mess is absolutely fantastic! We had them at our wedding on December 11th, 2021 at Tewksbury Country Club and everyone of our guests absolutely raved about them! Jason and Gail were fast to respond and incredibly professional. The band exceeded all of our expectations! They had a huge playlist from every genre and even included some Irish Music. Jason and the rest of the band were able to get everyone up on their feet and on the dance floor the whole night. They brought so much energy to our wedding, nevermind the incredible vocals! They also incorporated some Christmas favorites. I cannot recommend Hot Mess enough!

On a beautiful day at a beautiful venue with fantastic food and all of the best vibes... Hot Mess was without a doubt the highlight of the entire weekend. If you are even considering Hott Mess for any type of event, hire them. Best wedding band I've ever seen and it's not even close!

After exactly one month of being married, we still talk about Hot Mess every day and how they made our wedding absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond to interact with you and your guests as there wasn’t a single moment when the dance floor was empty and we can honestly say that every one of our guests were up and dancing. If you want to have the most memorable night, do yourself the favor of hiring Hot Mess! You will NOT regret it! A special shout out to Jason as well because he is truly the best and an absolute pleasure to work with!

Jason and his crew were the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! They were very interactive with us and our guests, jamming out on the dance with us and even going as far as singing around the tables! They had the crowd going right from the start! They did everything in their power to make our night a little bit more special, could not have been more happy with Hot Mess! Will be booking them every chance we get!!

We could not have made a better decision on wedding bands. Jason was incredibly helpful leading up the event, and blew us away throughout the entire reception. They even went above and beyond by learning a song that had sentimental value to us. Bands are definitely the backbone of every wedding. How special and smoothly our event went is a direct reflection of Hot Mess and the experience they put on for everyone invited. I could not recommend them enough.

Do you want to throw a party so epic that your friends and family will talk about it forever? Do you want a dance floor packed all night long? Do you want a band that is interactive, attentive, and talented beyond belief? If so, look no further and book Hot Mess! Jason and the band are unbelievable and exceeded any expectations we had. Gail is great to communicate with and made everything so easy for us. Honestly it was the best party we’ve ever been to and the energy was electric from start to finish. I wish we could do it every weekend!!

Being an event planner, I’ve seen quite a few bands play live at weddings, corporate events, social events, etc. and when my husband and I started looking for a band to play at our wedding, there was no doubt in my mind that we HAD to hire Hot Mess. The band not only know how to get the party started, but they kept everyone out of the dance floor the ENTIRE night - even my grandparents never stopped dancing! Jason, the band leader, was so easy to work with. He was extremely professional and made us feel like we had known him for years! He even had the band learn how to play “You Never Can Tell” by Chuck Berry (a song my dad was hooked on dancing to as a “surprise” fast song after we had our father-daughter dance), and the band KILLED it. Our timeline was pushed back a bit because of the rain, and Jason efficiently moved along the speeches and the food to ensure we had plenty of time on the dance floor (knowing how important that was to my husband and I). It’s been about a month and a half, and people are still talking about how amazing our wedding was and how much fun they had. I cannot tell you how many times people have asked me if they play public events in the area because they are dying to hear them play live again! My husband and I cannot rave enough about Hot Mess. They MADE our wedding and we could not be more grateful to have had them be a part of our special day.

Hiring Hot Mess to perform at our wedding was the BEST decision we made!! They were extremely flexible working with us when we had to postpone our wedding because of COVID. Both Gail and Jason were extremely helpful and responsive in the planning phases leading up to our wedding. Then on the day of the wedding they BROUGHT THE PARTY. They generously learned a few songs for us, created a set list that spanned the ages and we did not have ONE person sitting down at our wedding, EVERYONE was dancing!! My husband is also a huge fan of the song SHOUT and they gave him a version he will never forget!! People cannot stop talking about the band at our wedding and we wish we could go back and re-live it all over again because Hot Mess truly brought the party! THANK YOU to one amazing band and we cannot recommend them enough!!

We had such a pleasure working with Jason and the Hot Mess team. Jason was so easy to work with, and so helpful while navigating the COVID guidelines. The band sounded AMAZING, and was so engaging with guests. Looking forward to my next event with this team!

On a beautiful day at a beautiful venue with fantastic food and all of the best vibes... Hot Mess was without a doubt the highlight of the entire weekend. If you are even considering Hott Mess for any type of event, hire them. Best wedding band I've ever seen and it's not even close! From the moment we reached out Jason and Gail were a pleasure to work with. Their energy is electric and every conversation we had with them got us so excited for the day. The execution was flawless. They fulfilled all of our requests, learned new songs, and even learned a secret song that my mother in law performed with the band that they surprised us with! We had to move our date because of covid and they made the process so seamless and stress free. Our guests are still raving about the music and the dance floor was completely packed all night. It’s all anyone was talking about! Their talent is unmatched, we were speechless on so many occasions. They are truly the nicest people we have ever met and we can’t wait to see them perform again!

10 out of 5 stars. Working with Hot Mess was very easy and they helped us plan every last detail. They learned new songs for us that were not originally on their playlist. Their music alone is fantastic, and their enthusiasm was something that was unmatched. We looked at three other wedding bands initially, Hot Mess was the last band, and it did not take long at all to make the decision to go with them. I would recommend seeing them live, because once you do, it will make your choice very easy.

I've had the pleasure of being at several events where Hot Mess has played, so booking them for my wedding was a no-brainer. They did and amazing job and everyone loved them! The planning process was seamless and the band was so kind and accommodating as we navigated changing guidelines at the venue due to covid

Where to begin... Jason, Gail, and the entire Hot Mess team were nothing short of spectacular throughout our entire wedding planning process. While planning a wedding in the midst of COVID presented many challenges and constant changes, Hot Mess made it as easy as possible. After my husband and I got engaged in February of 2020, we booked Hot Mess (9 pieces) for our reception shortly thereafter. Little did we know that COVID would derail pretty much all of our plans! Gail was extremely responsive and willing to work with my husband and myself. At the time of our wedding, the city of Boston did not allow singing, so it was looking like a 9-piece band would not be possible. Luckily, the team at Hot Mess was super flexible and accommodating, and we ended up having 2 wonderful solo acoustic guitarists for our cocktail hour, and Jason as DJ. From our first call with Jason, we felt at ease. Let me tell you, his passion and enthusiasm was palpable which we REALLY needed after an exhausting and frustrating wedding planning process. The positivity was such a breath of fresh air! And Jason BROUGHT THE PARTY on our big day! It was so wonderful to give all our family and friends an opportunity to dust off their dancing shoes after far too long! Do yourself a favor and hire Hot Mess for your wedding/event - you won't regret it!!

Hot Mess was the icing on our wedding cake! They brought the party to our wedding. While I was researching for my wedding vendors, I thought seriously how can everyone have 5 stars, not everyone is that good. Now on the other side, I realize that all of these vendors are complete rock stars and deserve every 5-star review they receive. Jason and the band were absolutely incredible. They had our dance floor packed the entire night. Jason took the time to have a phone call with me a week before to go over all the names in our wedding party to get the correct pronunciation and confirm the songs we wanted. My husband picked out our first dance song (it was a surprise) and the band learned the song for us. It was incredible. People complimented the band the entire night. By the end of our night, I felt like we had new friends in Jason and the rest of the band. They truly and genuinely cared about our friends and family having a great time. They provided the best soundtrack for our evening. Seriously, look no further and just book Hot Mess! You will not be disappointed. Jason, Gail and team- thank you for providing us with such a magical night that we will never soon forget. We cannot thank you enough for your kindness, and attention to detail. We are so honored and blessed to have you all be a part of our day!

If you are looking for a wedding band, LOOK NO FURTHER! The second we contacted Hot Mess they were nothing but professionals. Jason and Gail were amazing to work with right up till our wedding day. Jason seemed so genuine and he you could tell he truly wanted your wedding day to be the best day of your life! He and his whole band had my entire wedding (ALL 270 people!!!) out on the dance floor all night. We got so many compliments on how great Jason and the band were. The best decision hands down we made for out wedding!!

If you want everyone and by everyone I mean grandparents, great aunts/uncles in their 90's, your parents, all your friends, etc. dancing all night long then you need to hire this band immediately. I am a firm believer that a good band is the key to an amazing wedding and after seeing Hot Mess at my friends wedding 2 years ago I knew I had to have them for mine. Well let me tell you, they did not disappoint!! Every single person who came to the wedding said the band was AMAZING and was by far the BEST BAND they had ever seen/heard. I booked them for an additional 2 hours, most wedding receptions are 4 hours (after cocktail hour) - I booked them for 6 hours and worried that with open bar for that long people may start to pass out but the dance floor stayed jam packed all night long. There were people who were waiting by the stage at the end of the night to get their cards to try and book them. On top of it all Jason is so incredibly easy to work with, soo organized (even my wedding planner was amazed), and an amazing M.C., he truly wants to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams and will go above and beyond to make sure it happens. I cannot recommend this band enough, they are soooo good, worth every penny! Just book them now before it's too late!!!

Would give 10 STARS if I could!! I cannot even begin to say enough amazing things about Hot Mess! We had them this past weekend for our wedding and they were absolutely incredible, from Graham on the keyboard during the ceremony, to John on the guitar during cocktail hour, to the whole band during the reception. Jason was amazing to work with! He was so personable and made everything so easy! He made it feel like we and even our parents had known him for years. He’s not only the band leader, but an awesome MC with an incredible energy you won’t find anywhere else. People that have never danced at weddings were up dancing! Our guests cannot say enough good things about them. We’ve even been told it was one of the best weddings people have been to by our guests and a huge part of that is due Hot Mess! If you’re looking for a night you and your guests won’t forget I would 1,000% recommend Hot Mess for your wedding!

Hands down, the best in the business! I’ve been to what feels like a million weddings over the years, and I have have never, ever seen an entire party respond to a band like our guests did to Hot Mess. Every single person at our wedding was engaged, smiling and having an absolute blast the entire time, all thanks to the contagious, incredible energy they brought. The music was outstanding, but what was even more wonderful was just how personal the entire experience felt. It didn’t feel like the average band performance; it felt like they were each simply part of the party (part of our family, if I’m being honest!) and that made ALL the difference. The personal touches (including my dad’s surprise cameo on guitar… I’m still speechless) set our event apart from other weddings in a completely unique way, and made it a truly magical experience — we couldn’t be more grateful. We had two goals for our wedding. First, we wanted to make sure it was a SERIOUS party that would leave a lasting impression. Hot Mess over-delivered on this front. Since we’ve been away, we’re just now catching up with friends and family, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that every single conversation about the wedding has started with “WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT BAND?!” We’ve been so happy to give them all the credit for making our night such a memorable one. Our second, and even more important goal was to remain present throughout the night. Everyone told us that our wedding would fly by and be over in an instant, so we went into it committed to remaining as “in the moment” as we possibly could. Jason and the band were absolutely critical in making this one possible. Knowing that each and every guest was having just as much fun as we were allowed us to let loose, be present and savor every single second of the night was just incredible. Thank you to Hot Mess for EVERYTHING! :)

You are insane If you do not hire this band! We CANNOT say enough amazing things about this band and these people. If you Are lucky enough to book them on a day they are not booked you will have the most memorable wedding of your life. Jason and his band sang at our ceremony did acoustic at our cocktail hour and full on fun at our ceremony. They are so professional, so fun, so engaging oh and did we mention they are a complete HOT MESS at what they do (and that’s the best compliment!). We are so thankful to them all for making our day so beautiful and special and we are happy to call them our friends. Any questions please email me. We are jealous of everyone that gets to hear them play! Best of luck Tracy & Luke

As a seasoned event planner for more than 15 years, and when it came time to plan my own celebration.... HOT MESS was hands down my first (and lets be honest.. ONLY) choice to celebrate. I have worked with Jason as a vendor partner on many occasions, and knew that his warmth and professionalism (and not to mention great humor) were a perfect match. Not only are Jason + Co some of the most talented performers I have worked with in my experience, he works with couples on a personal level to make sure that everything flows in a way that is seamless and keeps the party going! Every part of the planning experience - from working with Gail to putting the song list and details together with Jason leading up to the party is seamless. I am very particular when it comes to those details and knew that their performance would go above and beyond!! All of my friends and family still text me daily saying how they were "THE BEST BAND" they have ever heard. Do your self a favor and hire them. It will be one of the best planning decisions you will make... and your guests will NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN THEY HAD!!

Highly recommend! Hot Mess was the #1 highlight of our wedding and the best decision we made through the whole wedding planning process! After going to a showcase and being disappointed by the typical, cliché “wedding band” vibe of every one we saw there, we later saw Hot Mess perform and knew right away they clearly stood out as different from the rest. They’re not your average wedding band, THEY ARE WAY BETTER! John Polino’s acoustic cocktail hour started off the night with the perfect upbeat yet relaxing vibe. Then as soon as dinner was over, the party started right away and never stopped! Even some of our guests who never dance were out on the dance floor at our wedding. Jason’s energy is contagious, Ashley and Carli’s voices are amazing, and the whole band is absolutely incredible. Plus to top it all off, Jason was awesome to work with leading up to the big day. He was more than willing to learn two songs we requested that weren’t on their set list (and they crushed both!), and he took the time to talk to us about each and every detail of the night to make sure it was all tailored to our personal style and preferences. I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. I’ll be a Hot Mess fan and groupie for life! -Krista & John 6/1/19

Nothing short of exceptional Are you looking for a best in class band to play at your wedding? All I can say is look no further than Hot Mess! My wife and I got married in July 2019 in Iceland and Hot Mess came all the way from Boston and absolutely brought down the house! The dance floor was PACKED all night and Hot Mess were so dynamic and explosive that they even had our “non-dancing” guests dancing all night! The Hot Mess Team was truly an integral part in making the evening so special, and not only was their performance off the charts, but their level of professionalism is like nothing I have seen before. Jason and Team were an absolute pleasure to work with and their level of preparation and coordination was exceptional, which was an IMMENSE help during the busy planning phase of our wedding. They really took a lot off our plate! Thank you Jason and the rest of the Hot Mess Team for making our special day so special, and I will reiterate to all others looking for the best wedding band possible – give Hot Mess a call NOW; you and your special guests will all be blown away!

My husband and I got married a few weeks ago and we still cannot stop talking about Hot Mess. Jason, Gail, and the rest of the band were amazing right from the start. We had a particularly long reception with a lot moving parts and Gail and Jason were so kind and devoted to putting together the perfect evening for us. We got a chance to speak with Jason over the phone the week before the wedding and go over everything and what shined through even more than his professionalism was his genuine excitement to be a part of our day! Jason was even more excited in person when we met him the day of! We were able to relax and enjoy our reception knowing that Jason and the rest of the band were going to bring the fun- and did they ever! We had family and friends coming up to us all night commenting on how amazing and fun the band was! Everyone loved the variety of instruments and the variety of songs played. The band even did a great job incorporating some traditional Italian music that my family had requested during the breaks. Something that was also very special for my husband and me was that Jason and the band really took the time to highlight the fact that my husband and I fell in love as swing dance partners and played some music that gave us the chance to show our family and friends how we fell in love in the first place. Overall, I would tell anyone getting married, I know how stressful it is to research all the different vendors to put a wedding together. Let me at least check off music for you and assure you that your band is right here- HOT MESS!

Nervous about making sure everyone has fun at your wedding?? Book Hot Mess immediately!! Hot Mess infused this completely sincere and incredibly infectious energy into every single interaction leading up to our wedding, and every second of every song during our reception... it 100% can’t be taught, can’t be replicated, and can’t be faked. The energy they bring made our wedding absolutely unforgettable and Paige and I can’t possibly be more thankful that Jason and Hot Mess were part of our day. Seriously... book them now!

Such a great and fun band! They played a variety of song types that everybody was able to dance to. Everybody had a blast and said they had so much fun.

WOOOOWWWW!!! What an incredible group of performers!!! Not only do they put on a good show, they are just honestly nice and fun people. I enjoyed every minute of working with them at my event, as the planner. Look no more!!!!

If I could write Hot Mess a review everyday for the rest of my life, I would. That is how wonderful this band is. There just aren’t enough words to describe how great they are. I booked Hot Mess a year and a half before our wedding because I instantly knew that I wanted them to perform on the most special day of our lives. Jason, the band leader, is one of a kind. He is professional yet fun and has an energy that you won’t find anywhere else. There were a few issues with the venue in which we were getting married at in the days leading up to the wedding, and Jason acted as our wedding coordinator to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. He went above and beyond the role of a band leader. On the day of my wedding, one of the busses never showed up to pick up half our guests therefore the ceremony started late, pushing everything back. Hot Mess continued to perform after they were contracted to, no questions asked. Everyone loved them. Guests came up to us during and after our wedding to tell us how great they were. Years from now, when I look back at our wedding, I will remember two amazing things... marrying the love of my life and HOT MESS!!

WOW!!! I have so many amazing things to say about Hot Mess that I barely know where to begin! From the moment we booked them, we knew it was one of the best vendor decisions we had made. Jason was extremely organized and thorough with communication at all times and he made our calls and emails fun. Gail would frequently check in to see how things were going for our wedding planning and to let us know if Hot Mess was playing in an area near us. I will never forget the moment that my husband and I were getting photos taken before guests arrived and I got chills when I heard the band doing sound check. From our bridal party entrance to our dances with our parents to the very last song of the night, everything was perfect. They never once let their foot off the gas with their energy and we had a packed dance floor. Our venue at Moraine Farm has a lot of outdoor space with games that guests can enjoy, but NO ONE wanted to leave the dance floor. We even scheduled an early bus to pick up guests if they were ready to leave and not a single person got on it. Soooo many guests (we had almost 300 people) came up to me throughout the night and are still texting me to this date, raving about how awesome Hot Mess was. Several girls I know getting married have asked for their contact information. If you want to have the BEST BAND EVER at your wedding, don’t think twice, book Hot Mess!!

If you want a band for your wedding LOOK NO FURTHER!!!! I cannot even begin to describe the energy Hot Mess Brought to our wedding! Everyone who attended our wedding is still raving about our "unbelievable band." Booking Hot Mess for our special day was hands down the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding process. Jason and Pam were wonderful to work with and really made us feel like our wedding was their number one Priority.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Hot Mess as our wedding band!! They had the entire crowd dancing all night-we had so many guests tell us that anytime they thought about leaving the dance floor for a break, they had to run back out because they were playing another AWESOME song! Each member of the band is an extremely talented musician, and they were so involved with the crowd-one of the highlights was the trombone player coming out onto the dance floor with us! We were also so happy with our decision to get a keyboard player for the ceremony, and guitar player for the cocktail hour. The entertainment was absolutely unbelievable from beginning to end. Hot Mess couldn't have been more tailoring to our needs during the planning process, and were able to read the crowd at the wedding to play music that was perfectly suited to us. We couldn't be happier with them, and would highly recommend them to anyone we know planning a wedding!

Words cannot fully describe how amazing Hot Mess was. They were definitely the highlight of the night. Everyone commented how amazing it was to see a live band since they seem to be a rarity these days. Every aspect of the planning process was super easy with Hot Mess. Jason was a dream to work with (and Gail). They sounded amazing and the dance floor was packed all night. I would very highly recommend Hot Mess to anyone and everyone who will listen!!

I cannot even being to describe how INCREDIBLE this band is. Hot Mess completely knocked our wedding out of the park and truly made the entire night. I first saw Hot Mess at bar on Halloween weekend, before they got on stage there wasn't a single person on the dance floor and the second they started preforming - everyone made their way to the floor and I knew that they were exactly what we wanted for our wedding. I am not joking when I say that every single one of guests were on the dance floor for the WHOLE night... including my 80 year old grandmother! They have a true talent of knowing which songs to play and when and to be able to keep a bunch of 30 year olds and a bunch of 55+ year olds ALL loving the music is beyond impressive. Our guests have not stopped talking about Hot Mess... so much so that I have friends who want to book them and family who are making excuses to have parties just so they can book them. Every single member of the band was incredible and brought such a fun and crazy energy. Music is single-handedly the most important part of your wedding because it sets the whole tone for the night - and I can 100% say that our wedding would not have been as fun without them. Not only are they incredibly talented and amazing performers - they are SO easy to work with. I can promise that you will NOT regret booking Hot Mess!!

In short, Hot Mess is the ULTIMATE wedding band. From our first interactions, they were warm, accommodating, flexible and kept us laughing. Jason spoke with us on the phone on multiple occasions before the wedding to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it. In reality, we ended up relying heavily on his musical and crowd pleasing genius. Having seen the band live before booking, their performance on our wedding day still managed to blow away our expectations!! It seemed as if no song was off limits, with incredible male and female singers with unbelievable vocal range. The band can do everything - from a beautiful keyboard performance during the ceremony to a classic dinner set that impressed people from all generations. Our personal favorite however were the dance sets that kept our (large) dance floor packed from start to finish. This included a surprise call and response between their brass section in the middle of the dance floor, which still has our guests talking. Our only regret is that we couldn’t have continued the party for several more hours! They were incredibly flexible when the venue temporarily lost power, and even agreed to have my brother join them in performing a song on guitar. We could not recommend Hot Mess more highly and look forward to going to many more of their performances in the future!!

I can not say enough amazing things about working with Hot Mess for our wedding. Jason was so great to work with from all of our music selections to the organization of the entire event. He was more than accommodating and I felt like we were family from the day I met him! The band learned our wedding song just so that our first dance could be extra special LIVE. The night of our wedding, the entire band's energy was overflowing the room. They were ecstatic and they MADE the entire wedding experience for our guests. The music they played was absolutely amazing and honestly, no one wanted it to end. From the day I saw Hot Mess play, I knew that they HAD to be at my wedding, and that is one gut instinct I will never regret. It was worth every penny because it was honestly priceless. Our guests ranted and raved about Hot Mess and I would recommend them one hundred times over if you are looking for the absolute best band you could ever imagine on your wedding day. We love you guys!

Jason and Hot Mess were incredible!! From the first moment we spoke to Jason it was clear that he was completely invested in ensuring our party would be everything we wanted it to be. He was detailed and thorough about the logistics, offered lots of helpful tips, and listened to all our requests. He's also just incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. You immediately know you're in good hands. On the actual night, he and the entire band absolutely killed it! They had everyone up and dancing, kept the night moving, and also are just incredible musicians. There were multiple points in the evening when you'd swear it was a recording but, NOPE, it's just the band. 10 out of 10, would hire again!!

You're probably reading this because you're concerned about picking the right band or DJ for your wedding... well you can stop worrying right now. If you're looking for a HIGH ENERGY and INCREDIBLY talented wedding band that will get everyone on the dance floor, then feel 100% confident in Hot Mess. They know what works and have CONSISTENTLY delivered across numerous weddings! Just look at all the other reviews! Jason is an incredible singer and also serves as a very skilled MC and will come find you throughout the night to make sure you're ready for key events like parent dances, etc. He will work with you to make sure everything is PERFECT and just how you want it! During the event, he is very engaging and draws people in with his energy and if Jason isn't enough, Ashley and Carli's vocal range and POWER will! Then you've got Johnny P (guitar), Graham (keys), Tim (bass), Jason K (drums). These guys are LEGIT. Look at their bios?!?! They're not your average "band", these guys are ALL very accomplished and well-trained musicians and trust me, it shows! Then there is Connor and Lennie comprising the horn section - these two will BLOW YOU AWAY with solos and they might even join you on the dance floor for a minute to create a dueling horn solo experience you and your wedding guests will NEVER forget!! I can't say enough - just book these guys, you won't regret it!

I don't even know where to begin! Hot Mess is by far the best wedding band I have ever seen! They were the band at my June 2 wedding in Newport RI. My guests are still talking about how incredible the band was! They definitely made our wedding the most fun! Jason was incredible and got the crowd going during the dinner set! I don't think that any of my guests sat the entire night! The horn section was such an awesome addition to the band! They were playing in the middle of the dance floor! Our guest were in awe! The band allowed my aunt who is a drum player to join the bacd and play the drums with the band during a song! It was so incredible and made everyone go wild! The staff that works with the band was so easy to contact with any questions prior to the wedding day! I could not have pictured my wedding day without them as my band!

This was a one of a kind band! From Jason and the incredible vocalists, would have never had the night we had without them! After the horns took the stage, and the greatest wedding music was played guests were asking who Hot Mess was and where I found them! Amazing! It’s all I can say, thank you Jason Silverman m!

Hot Mess truly made our wedding unforgettable. For an amazing band like this they were extremely reasonably priced and they even learned 2 songs for us that were really important for us to have on our wedding day (even though they already have a massive song list to choose from). Our parents convinced us that we should have a band (they're pretty "old school") and even though my now husband and I originally thought a DJ would do the job just fine, we now know it wouldn't have been nearly as amazing of a night without the band. We have been to weddings with DJ's and while they were just fine, this band MADE our wedding night and was the best part of the entire wedding!!! They were easy to communicate with, allowed us to visit venues they were performing at prior to booking them for free to get a good listen to them, and helped us plan every moment of the night so that we felt completely confident in the flow of things. I BEYOND HIGHLY recommend them and cannot say enough good things about this band!!!

My husband and I got married on 5/5/18 at the Boston Winery. Hot Mess helped make the evening the wedding we always wanted. Throughout the night, the dance floor was packed feeding off of Jason and the rest of the band's energy. They were available right up until the day, checking in to see how everything was going. Their professionalism on the day of kept our wedding running smoothly. Guests were commenting left and right about how amazing the band's performance was. My husband and I are so grateful to Jason, their manager Gail, and the entire band for being the best in Boston!!

When planning our wedding reception, we both agreed the band was one of the most important decisions to make for a great wedding. Especially when we decided to have a NYE wedding, we knew the band was going to be a big part to ensure the night went perfectly and the party lasted all night! From the first time we heard Hot Mess play, we instantly knew we needed them at our wedding! The first time we met Jason through the entire planning process, he was absolutely amazing to work with! He made sure to know what our "perfect day" looked like and what was important to us, made sure to talk with us about music choices and even spent a good amount of time chatting with us before the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. Jason was very approachable and quick to respond with any questions. The night of our wedding, we could not have asked for a better band! Between the vocals, wide range of songs for all ages, entertainment and of course- the HORNS, Hot Mess was incredible! Hot Mess had everyone dancing the entire night, including my niece and nephews age 3-6 to my 95 year old great uncle! When things were running a little behind schedule, they even skipped a break to continue entertaining and made sure the dance floor stayed full. To this day, we continue to hear raving reviews from our guests how awesome our band was! At the end of the night, we had such a blast we even tried to hire them for a one year anniversary party in 2018! We continue to follow Hot Mess around Boston and plan to see them perform whenever possible. Thank you again to Hot Mess for making our wedding truly awesome!
