Music Management

d ourselves just chatting about all sorts of things. Additionally, he asked us to share some of our playlists with him and he certainly worked some of our personal music tastes into our big day! DJ Bob also collaborated exceptionally well with our photographer and with our caterer. I can't say enough amazing things about DJ Bob Greel! Don't look any further...just hire him!

endless play list and each song was perfect. They also agreed to learn songs that were not on their list. Every musician was an experienced professional but Chantal was amazing... gorgeous voice with an endless range and personality to charm the wild beast at any party. We could not have been happier and the crowd on the dance floor was just as crowded and enthusiastic at the end of the party as at the beginning. We also hired the Anima string quartet to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour - real professionals everyone Music Management delivered.

sed with their song list and they even agreed to learn and perform a few special requests that really made our ceremony special. Anima also set a perfect vibe for our cocktail hour with their elegant and fun song selections. Music Management could not have been easier to work with and we appreciate them being so gracious and listening to our ideas. We really cannot compliment or thank Anima Chamber Ensemble / Music Management enough for adding some string trio magic to our day and highly recommend booking these talented artists for your next event!

d their heart out (a few even danced a bit!) The one word everyone kept using to describe their performance was "amazing!"

TIC during the night. We wanted dinner music at dinner, some 90s throw backs, then moving into the night more country and pop and Polish music. They totally delivered!! Would recommend this trio 10/10 for your special day!

nd truly listened to us to capture the vibe we were going for. He made it a point to practice the pronunciations of our names, and as people with commonly mispronounced names, this made us happy. We had an incident involving one of our elder guests and he handled everything with grace and allowed the event to flow seamlessly (once everyone was confirmed to be okay!). Our guests had a blast at our reception, and that was all thanks to Bob and Music Management. From booking to payment to logistics, Stu and Music Management were professional and easy to work with and really made us feel special. Cannot sing their praises loud enough!!

e demos always sound good. We were blown away by Chantal and the whole HiFi band. They were even better than the demo and absolutely ROCKED the house! We had a small wedding (60 people), but the dance floor was full as they had everyone dancing. Everyone kept asking who the band was and our venue that has a lot of high profile bands said HiFi was the best that have ever played there.

His voice gives you chills and the band will bring tears to your eyes. Their talent is unmatched. While singing and playing Frank Sinatra, he brought back so many amazing memories of our older family members. Not to mention Rich played every single song that we discussed in our pre-wedding meetings. He even was able to find and play traditional Greek dancing music that had the entire wedding up on the dance floor, whether they were from Greek decent or not! If you want to bring your wedding from normal to OUTSTANDING, you have to book Rich Dimare and his band. I have a feeling people will still be talking about them playing at our wedding for years to come.... !

thetic and accommodating to our needs. They made our lives SO much easier, and went above and beyond professionalism. We sincerely look forward to working with them again in the future, and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for an white glove service and the BEST bands.

and had him DJ after dinner - it was so much fun!! He definitely does a fantastic job- highly recommend!

ow much they loved the DJ and he nailed it in terms of reading the room and what everyone was feeling. We got married in an intimate venue of 125 people so it ended up being such a fun dance party- even my parents who never dance at weddings said how much they loved the DJ, he picked all the songs I asked for and even a few I hadn’t thought of that worked perfectly. Very professional and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!!!

the reception speeches as well as organized all the reception music with us in advance. Night of, he did a great job announcing everything from our entrances to the cake cutting as well as getting everyone up and dancing through out the entire evening. Definitely a five star service!

preform before the night of our wedding and we were absolutely blown away! Not only were they so easy to work with, they also read the crowd seamlessly and the dance floor was packed the entire night! We even had guests sneak away from their dinners because they couldn't resist dancing - that's how incredible HiFi is! I would recommend them ten times over!

ey learned it for us and performed it flawlessly! They helped make our ceremony feel both personal and joyful. Multiple guests approached us throughout the night to ask where we found such a talented group! Thank you! I could not recommend them highly enough!

once I had venue and date set! Before we were even announced into the reception I could see the dance floor packed and everyone ready to party! It was one of the best sights! Working with them beforehand too was a true pleasure and stress free. They went above and beyond my expectations with everything! I would truly recommend them to everyone! Best Night EVER!

music was spot on PERFECT. Each singer and instrumentalist demonstrated amazing talent that kept our guests dancing through the night. No down time. Besides proving a real contemporary sound, each member of the band was warm, friendly, and extraordinarily professional.

c Management to hire the one and only Rich DiMare! He was absolutely phenomenal.

t of experience. My wife's side of the family is traditional Greek and Albanian, and he did a wonderful job being able to mix in various songs. He kept the party going all night , the dance floor was packed. He was very thorough in his communication leading up to the event. I would recommend Chips' services to anyone needing a DJ for the wedding or special event.

there would be no issues on our big day. The manager Stu was a breeze to work with and always got back to me same day when I had questions or requests. All of our guests said it was the best wedding band they have ever seen, and three of our guests asked if they could hire HPO for their upcoming weddings. If you are looking for a band to make your event, look no further. HPO is worth every penny!!

d songs for me and played every song I had requested!! They had everyone one the dance floor from start to finish !! All of my guests were telling me this is the best band they have ever heard !! They were the best band I had I ever heard ! The sound , singers , horns were so beyond greatness!! The band interacted with the crowd just enough .. They totally made our wedding !! I want to have another party and hire them ASAP!!! I can’t thank them enough!!!

est way possible!) - every single person at the wedding (of all ages) was up dancing. And, the guests could not stop talking about the band the next day. They are interactive, talented, flexible...truly the best!

very kind, extremely professional, and easy to work with. My husband and I are both musicians, and so we had some very specific musical preferences. It was important to us that the music reflect our tastes and give our friends a really fun experience. Chip provided the perfect music to suit our needs, both for cocktail hour and for the dinner/dancing time. He also was an amazing MC, and we felt very comfortable with him introducing us, our toasts, announcing the cake cutting, etc. I didn't realize how important that would be until it was actually happening! Since the evening was so busy I wasn't able to spend as much time on the dance floor as I would have liked, but all the times I was able to dance I felt like the flow of music was just perfect! Many of my friends have also told me how much fun they had on the dance floor. It seems like Chip really responded to the requests/vibe of our group, and everyone had a really great time. We had such a good experience working with Chip overall! We really felt like he took the time to get to know us and what our musical preferences would be, and the end result was absolutely what we had envisioned. Thank you Chip!!!

gest guest of 7 to oldest guest of 70) dancing the whole night! My only issue was that they took a few 20 minute breaks, which I knew they would, but didn't realize how much the breaks would cause the dance floor to die so much despite having a playlist continue to play. At the end of the day, they had better song choices and better sound, but really wish they were able to rotate breaks among band members to continue playing the whole night. In one picture I even saw them just standing there on the side of the dance floor hanging out, which seemed a bit ridiculous to me. Overall, everyone had a great time.

bly talented. We met with Stuart leading up to the wedding and he addressed each of our requests and was very attentive to what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, we were absolutely blown away by how phenomenal the band was. I still receive many compliments from guests about them. I would recommend them to anyone!!!! Thank you so much Music Management and Hip Pocket Orchestra for making our wedding night so memorable!!!

floor, and everyone was raving about them all night. Chantal the lead singer was very easy to get along with and was a great MC of the night. She is an amazing singer, nailed Whitney! Kristy for the management side was very helpful and is also a singer in the band, nailed Stevie Nicks! Everyone in the band was super nice and talented. Thank you HiFi for helping make my wedding unforgettable!

and cracking jokes the whole time (which I have seen at weddings/bat mitzvahs). I wanted someone who had a passion for music and could read the crowd. I found Rich Dimare through music management, who I had heard about through a friend. He was exactly what I was looking for. People were literally dancing the entire night, which was exactly what I wanted. I also used music management to find Anima who did the ceremony music. I had a trio (piano, violin, cello) play "turning page" while I walked down the aisle. It was beyond perfect and their manager Vanessa physically came to the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was such a pleasure to work with.

even willing to work with my friend who I wanted to play the piano for the processional. Very easy to work with and incredibly responsive.

organized, upbeat and positive, and seemed truly excited about our wedding. He went above and beyond by working on a timeline, contacting the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, and making sure I was comfortable with everything. He basically planned my reception for me! I could seriously relax knowing he was taking care of things. At the reception, it was even better! We had a band play for cocktail hour and dinner. It overlapped with Adam DJing. You couldn't even tell that the band and Adam didn't usually work together. All the guests danced throughout the ENTIRE reception! Every generation of guests were dancing and complimented the music choices. I highly recommend Adam!

ng the jazz guitar for the ceremony, then Andy Baer joined Dennis on sax and the duo played background jazz for the outdoor cocktail hour on the water, followed by Andy Baer's 4 piece ensemble that played live for the reception. The music started out lovely and emotional, and crescendoed during the day in perfect proportion to the celebration that was unfolding. This was such an important element of the day, it creates the mood and the vibe, and everyone loved it. We couldn't have been happier.

perience.
