Where to start?!
I was married two Saturday's ago, and we hired The Hook Club to play our ceremony, cocktail hour and Reception.
I found them from doing a bit of research, and from the very beginning, back to just messaging them that I was int...erested, Dan (Band Leader), has been the BEST vendor to work with. He invited us to see the band play at some shows downtown - early in the process. So of course we went, and I am not exaggerating when I say that upon hearing them play maybe 20 seconds of their first song, my husband and I looked at each other and confirmed at that early stage that THIS was the band we NEEDED at our wedding. From then on, Dan was involved in EVERY aspect of the music planning. Not only that, but he made everything so incredibly simple for us in terms of choosing music for our entire wedding. He came to see our venue twice, took care of all the logistical details with the venue about timeline and space, equipment needed, etc.
The music planning process was awesome. He shared some playlists with us from some other weddings they'd done - to help guide us. From there, we created our own playlist with songs we'd want to hear. He was able to concoct a perfect vibe - using the songs we loved, with some that he thought would go with the vibe. We were very specific that we wanted a real Dance Party at the reception. And boy, did they deliver.
This band is not your typical wedding band. Their energy is infectious, to say the least - and they absolutely nailed every song they played! They even learned to play songs that weren't in their repertoire for our wedding because they knew we really wanted such songs played. The level of talent for all the band members is truly remarkable. They can play any genre - and even the instrument musicians can sing - and each have their own specialty. ( For example, they played Justin Beiber 'Despacito" at our wedding and we all thought the vocals were coming from a track - but then we look back at the keyboard player and he is singing ever word! IN SPANISH!) They were so incredible, i don't even know how to explain it - but throughout the entire reception, there was not even one minute where people weren't dancing. From younger to older guests, the music and energy was so good, that people couldn't help themselves from just getting up and dancing! I cant count the number of people who are still telling me how great the band was and how much fun it was because of their amazing performance and energy.
MY ADVICE - Stop looking right now - and call the Hook Club immediately! Trust me, you'll never find a band like them. Looking back, this was hands down the best decision we made about our wedding. It was so special and memorable, obviously for us, because of The Hook Club - but also for our guests!
