The Hook Club

. Our guests were raving about them and everyone was sad to see the night end. They are the most fun to work with, and we will be recommending them to all our friends. Their performances were a highlight of our night and something we'll remember forever.

ng live musicians from start to finish really set the tone for the evening. All members of the band had the most amazing energy, you could tell how excited they were to be performing together as they each took turns signing for different songs. They were able to accommodate multiple special song requests that weren’t on their set list, which made the reception so much more meaningful for our guests. It was a non-stop dance party all night, our guests didn’t want the night to end and are still talking about how much fun it was!

Hey are the kind of band that make you never want to sit down at a party. From the singers to the musicians to the overall setup, it was all perfect! However, due to COVID-19, my wedding was cancelled and was not able to be rescheduled. I spoke to the band manager, Dan, about my situation and he was kind enough to refund me half of my deposit, and said if they were able to re-book my original date they would be happy to refund the remaining amount. We have spoken many times since the cancellation, and Dan has been extremely great with communication. In the end, he actually refunded me the remaining amount with no re-booking. I really could not believe how generous he and the band were being to me. It has been such a tough year for everyone, and this really helped me out. It's just proof that there are still kind people in this world, and I am so grateful to have worked with them.

ight to end! From videos I watched and reviews I read, I knew they were the right band for us! Since hiring them, band leader/owner, Dan, has been absolutely incredible to work with. We hired them to play at our August 2020 wedding, which ended up getting postponed to September 2021. Dan was in constant communication with us as the virus started to unfold and more restrictions were set in place. Navigating through all the curveballs was tough, but Dan’s input, availability, and promise to honor our original contract helped us make the decision to postpone our wedding and keep them as our band. Pre-COVID, when our wedding was still on, Dan was the one that really helped us determine the flow of the wedding. He is insanely organized and provides a Google Sheet doc that pretty much lays out most details of the day. On that sheet is also an extremely long list of songs with a huge range in genre The Hook Club can play. They have a song for every mood or moment I want on my wedding day. They also will learn up to 10 new songs at the bride and groom’s request! I CANNOT WAIT to have them play at our 2021 wedding!

postpone our wedding due to Covid, they were very responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!

fessionalism of Dan the entire time. He's been so attentive to our issues and is working with us for whenever we will eventually have our wedding day. I can't recommend The Hook Club enough.

y at their performance. We immediately fell in love the instant we heard their voices and saw their enthusiasm and passion for a crowd of 20 people. Dan was professional, friendly, and very timely in his responses. Dan helped make the wedding planning/frenzy manageable and easy to handle. Dan answered every question we had and guided us through the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception timelines and music. Dan and THC showed up to the venue mid-afternoon for an evening wedding. Everything was set up and staged to avoid any last minute stress. The band interacted with the staff and venue with the utmost professionalism and were raved about by our wedding coordinator. We chose a 7-piece band and were so happy with our choice. We opted for a piano at the ceremony and cocktail hour and were impressed with the pianists repertoire and skill. His music was so romantic and really set the mood. The entire band ROCKED the dance floor all night long. THC played to our audience, which was looking to dance the night away. It is already a full month later and people are still asking who our band was and raving about the show THC put on. We knew we wanted a healthy mixture of classic songs, top hits, and everything in-between, and THC played them seamlessly. The best part of THC was how much they interacted with us and the guests on the dance floor. The lead singers and all the musicians would come out and share the floor and microphone with all of the guests. We asked Dan to make sure the dance floor stayed packed, and boy did THC deliver. We would like to thank THC for a wonderful and memorable wedding night and making our dream wedding become a reality. We recommend THC to anybody looking to dance the night away!

s after having a not so great experience once but The Hook Club way changed my mind!

also plays the saxophone and they were able to accommodate all his requests as well as letting him play alongside them whenever he wanted. It really made it all that much more special! Dan was also incredible to work with! He was always available for a phone call when I needed. They were engaging with all our guests and really knew how to keep the party going. If you are looking for a wedding band, look no further Hook Club is it!!!!

epertoire is very extensive, and the musicians have great enthusiasm. They even let me "sit in" for a couple of tunes on my sax, which made the evening even more special for me and my family. You should definitely check them out-you won't be disappointed !!

every single band member took a turn at lead vocals for at least one song. They play oldies, rap in English and Spanish, perform sax solos, play a baby grand piano, and do a mean Springsteen. When our guests demanded an encore, two singers, the sax, and the trumpet all came down on the dance floor. They were fun and interactive the entire night. We knew to expect high energy because we had the pleasure of seeing them play at the Groove club in downtown NYC. And I’ll add they are so reasonably priced compared to some of the other mediocre bands we considered. We cannot thank the band, and their leader, Dan enough for making our night unforgettable.

We also checked them out on YouTube and were sold because it was clear they knew how to entertain a crowd. Dan was extremely helpful and took the time to personalize our experience and make it the party of a lifetime. Prior to the wedding, he scouted out our venue and gave us counsel on whether or not to get a stage which we were on the fence about (we got the stage and it was the best decision). We had calls with him to talk through what kind of vibe we wanted and what our priorities were when it came to the music. Throughout the whole process it felt like we were being put first and that they were doing everything they could to make this the customized music experience we wanted. On our actual wedding, it was an absolute party. The band had everyone on the dance floor throughout the entire night. They were supposed to play until midnight but went about 20 minutes over and the dance floor was still packed. To this day, we have so many guests asking who the band was and how we heard about them. It was such an amazing night and The Hook Club made it that much better. I cannot recommend this band enough. They are beyond talented and you're going to have an amazing time with them. Book today and you won't be sorry when your big day arrives. Lindsay & Ryan 8.24.19 | Brooklyn, NY

y brought so much fun and energy to our reception and were a highlight of the night. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band!!!

dance floor singing the entire night! Everyone is still raving about the music and the energy that they brought! We can't thank you all enough for being a part of our special day! Thank you!!! With love, The Friedmans!

have been telling us how fabulous they are and my aunt got there number for our cousins wedding. They kept the party going all night. We were also very excited by the songs they learned for our first dance (Electric love, Borns) it came out great and we were so happy!!

was nothing short of easy. He was flexible in terms of the structure, run of show, and even was able to do things they hadn't done before that showed us they were willing to go 'above and beyond'. Dan is a consummate professional, who has integrity - which, in planning your wedding, is the most important quality, having a vendor / partner you can trust at a value that is commensurate with the services delivered - we received that and more. The Hook Club brought down the house for our special day! People have been calling my wife and I weeks later asking "Who Was that Band!?", LeMarco, Bree, and Denise serenaded the crowd, while the band brought on face-melting hits from all genres. We ended the night with a silent disco, which ended up turning into a loud disco :) - it was an absolute blast... Would do it again sometime soon - Thanks a mil! -DJB

with their endless entertainment. Everyone has told me since our wedding that this was the best band they have ever heard at any wedding!

n band was as good as it gets, reading the audience and playing late. They were amazing!

ne at our wedding was on the dance floor the entire night chanting "one more song" at the end. They played everything from Prince to Missy Elliot to Frank Sinatra to Queen and sounded incredible doing all of it. Dan is a pleasure to work with and communication with him was a breeze. The Hook Club is also AFFORDABLE and sounded better than many of my friends' wedding bands who paid twice the price. You will love them, don't hesitate and book The Hook Club.

were likely not the easiest people to deal with, but he was SO flexible and understanding throughout the entire process. He even worked with me on a custom song-list! We had friends play music for our ceremony and Dan/Hook Club provided the equipment necessary which was all fantastic and perfect for the space (which was outside). The meat, though, was our reception. The wedding was almost two weeks ago and people are CALLING us to tell us how amazing the dance party was. L'Marco is officially everybody's favorite person, Bree's voice is INCREDIBLE and the rest of the band was SO tight. We had a ton of leftover dessert at the end of the night and i'm convinced its because the band was so great that people didn't want to leave the dance floor to go eat. There are a few things I would change if we did the wedding again... but everything The Hook Club did was absolutely perfect. I only wish the night could have gone on for longer. PERSONAL favorites were their performances of Love Roller Coaster, the moment where they let my 8 year old cousin sit in on drums for a song (he's still beaming from that: his first time sitting in the professionals) AND the EPIC Bohemian Rhapsody sing-a-long at the end of the night. What else can I say about The Hook Club? I hope I end up at another wedding where they're the band! Seriously. Absolutely love these guys.

ay in terms of planning and his attention to detail. And the band itself was AWESOME. The singers were absolutely incredible and the band truly made our wedding unforgettable. I've never been to a wedding with better energy on the dance floor all night long and The Hook Club is 100% responsible for that. We have already gotten a ton of compliments on their performance and I highly recommend The Hook Club for anyone considering wedding band options!

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!

g. Their lead singer sounds like Etta James! Dan was so easy to work with and so professional in how he put together the program for the evening for our review to make sure we were totally happy. He came to our rehearsal and was extremely flexible in meeting and consulting throughout the planning process. We would recommend them for any occasion - they are talented and versatile and have a fabulous repertoire of music for all tastes! No one wanted the evening to end!

piece band for the reception and requested several special songs from both groups. They not only delivered but exceeded our expectations. These guys are real musicians and are not afraid to take on challenging songs or learn something new. They seamlessly transitioned from oldies to contemporary hip-hop and pop, and got both the older and younger generations out on the dance floor. If you're looking for great music and a personalized touch, look no further than the Hook Club.

ngle one of our requests. Not only do they play a wide variety of music (ranging from oldies to modern-day hits), but my husband and I had requested several songs that were off their already long set list that they were delighted to learn for us. Additionally, THC is essentially a triple threat: they can do a string quartet (or any combination of things) for the ceremony, a jazz band for cocktail hour and light the dance floor up with a full 10+ piece band for the reception. They are versatile and know how to read the crowd, which is exactly what you need as weddings are often extremely unpredictable! I'd recommend THC to just about anyone because I am confident they will make your event flawless, just like what we experienced.

rform a show in downtown Manhattan. They played for four hours straight and had every person in the bar on their feet the entire time. Their skill and dedication was apparent in the way they threw themselves into each and every song to make it special. Working with the band for our event was also wonderful. The band leader Dan was very easy to coordinate with and worked with us to dial in the type of music we wanted to be played (or not played). The band's repertoire is extensive and they do an excellent job of reading the energy of the room and tailoring their set to what people want. Dan also put together a playlist of music for dinner and to play before the ceremony, and had a jazz duo play during our cocktail hour. We put our trust in Dan and THC to set the tone of our night musically, and they absolutely nailed it. Everyone from my grandmother to my college friends complemented us on the band. I highly recommend them.

r playlist choices (even when we made several changes in the weeks leading up). Thanks again, Dan and Co.

and we met in person a few times before the day which was super helpful since we're very picky about the type of music we wanted played. We had an acoustic band set up for the cocktail hour where they played instrumentals of Bob Marley, Rihanna, Jay Z, The Gorillaz etc. People couldn't believe the more modern/less traditional songs were being played so well. The same happened when we went into the reception with more upbeat music-- they mastered every song we asked for and were super flexible when we had some changes leading up to the day. The dance floor was always packed which was exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend Dan and his team for any event!

couple members of the band played beautifully during our ceremony and then the band absolutely killed during the reception, both as musicians and MCs. Our guests were blown away by the music and repeatedly told us so during the reception. I've already referred them to some friends getting married next summer! Seriously, you can't go wrong with these guys! PS Shoutout to the bandleader Dan, who was so great to work with. Also, shoutout to the band for playing the Hora for almost 20 minutes straight! Amazing energy!

reat job to bring emotions during our rooftop ceremony with an acoustic duo playing all our favorites Soul & RnB love songs during processional, recessional but also betweens interventions, people had chills when hearing the amazing voice of their lead singer Bree. And during cocktail hour, the band (bass, drums, keyboard, guitar & vocals) did an amazing show with a lot of energy and cool vibes to entertain our guests ! All our friends and family were impressed by their performance, especially when the band started rapping on Alicia Keys & Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" or Lauryn Hill’s « Doo Wop"! As huge fans of Hip-Hop, we had special song requests that not all bands can’t do, and not only The Hook Club were really accommodating about the playlist, they are also super talented. Dan, their band leader was so easy to work with, always available to answer our questions and prepare the big day with us with excellent ideas. He even offered to bring sound equipment for our DJ at a really good price. Beyond being talented, professional and affordable, they are super nice people you would love to party with ! If you love music, you will love The Hook Club ! MERCI BEAUCOUP, you guys are the best !

selected the perfect “guest arrival” playlist and procession music via a collaborative Spotify playlist. We had no worries come wedding day as Dan orchestrated the set up, microphone/sound equipment and timing with our coordinator and officiant. It was wonderful to know things would go off seamlessly. The musicians themselves were fantastic. I was even told one of our musicians shed a tear during the ceremony which added to the overall experience for our guests! Thanks Hook Club!

n one of the best bands I've ever heard and worked with, "wedding" band or otherwise. They are unbelievably talented and I would pay lots to listen to them anytime! As for actually working with them: Dan, the band leader, is incredibly professional, hardworking, accommodating, kind and super communicative. The entire process was a piece of cake and he took all of our suggestions and played everything we suggested, as well as provided a plethora of songs for us to choose from from day one. Dan truly went above and beyond to make this not only super easy and non-time consuming during the planning process, but the evening one of the most beautiful, well-scored nights of our lives. Even my dad was blown away by them, and he's a professional musician. So seriously: Hire The Hook Club Band!!!

Winehouse fan thought that their rendition of "Valerie" was a recording at first, that's how good it is. Their demo tape really does not do them justice. We had the band for the wedding and also a singer and guitarist for the ceremony, which was a really special touch. Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with and felt more like a friend than a vendor. He also served as the logistical coordinator during the ceremony which was incredibly helpful. He told us that the band had no limit to songs that they would learn for us, which was awesome because my husband is really into indie music that more traditional bands wouldn't have played. They even learned how to do an instrumental version of "Grow Old with You" from the Wedding Singer for our ceremony. Everyone danced the whole night and had the best time because of the Hook Club Band. We can't wait to go back and see them at the Grove Club!

ept everyone engaged and dancing the entire night. They also did a good job MC'ing the reception. Book these guys if you want a fun, charismatic band who will play everything from Motown, to Amy Winehouse, to Missy Elliot, to you-name-it.

(we really wanted a band vs a DJ), I was shocked at the prices. We wanted the full band (6-7 members) but I didn't think we could make it happen, until we spoke with Dan at the Hook Club! He was so accommodating for the band to learn music we wanted - almost 20 songs! They were able to do classical wedding covers (Brown Eyed Girl, Oh What a Night, At Last, etc) but also were able to perform some not as common ones we really wanted (I Want to Dance With Somebody, Rosalita, I Had the Time of My Life, Dancing On my Own, etc). I cannot stress how awesome they were on developing and delivering the song list. It wasn't a 'pick from this list' kind of thing - it was a 'what songs would you like to hear and we'll do our best to make it happen'. And they ROCKED IT the night of. The vocalists brought such great energy to the crowd, the saxophone was an amazing addition, and everyone in the band knocked it out of the part. They were so great many of our guests said they were the best part of the night. I'm glad I paid attention to the quality of reviews not just quantity. This band was the best decision I made for our party. If music is important to you and you want to work with the band to create the best night ever, work with The Hook!

nd that could play a wide array of classics and wedding staples as well as some more newer, more niche selections. When we decided to work with The Hook Club, I made sure that the group would be able to handle my special requests and more, and in the end we couldn't have been happier. Whether it was a jazz standard, some 90s R&B, modern indie, or a song from Hamilton, the banded absolutely nailed it. Most of all, they kept the energy high from the start and had my friends and family dancing from start to end. I received so many comments after talking about how great they were and how it made them realize how much they also want live music at their own weddings. Don't even hesitate to book The Hook Club because it's a guarantee that you and your guests will have the time of their lives.

joy of the reception, I shudder to think what lackluster merriment would have happened without them. From the amazing setlist to their terrifying stamina to their palpable joy, I'm tearing up just thinking about the amazing job they did at our wedding. They even coordinated a surprise with my husband to have him up with the band to play and sing! They're not just another wedding vendor for you, they /are/ the party and the energy. The vibe of our first dance was perfect (Ella Fitzgerald's Cheek to Cheek), it was romantic and warm. The floor thumping dancing later (LCD Soundsystem's Dance Yrself Clean, R Kelly Ignition Remix, Hamilton's Helpless, Michael Jackson, Salt n Pepa, Aretha Franklin, and much much more!) was everything we could have hoped for. At the end of the night, the band went acoustic and joined us down at the bonfire with some impromptu singalongs with our guests. It was the perfect end to the wonderful night. I don't know how they do it, but they had more energy after two sets and 7 hours after the beginning of the wedding than I thought possible! Dan and the band worked with us to create a setlist that was perfectly us without batting an eye at our weird requests. I can't imagine our wedding without The Hook Club. Quick, book them before they're booked for your date!

of energy, and super professional. They created an environment where everyone was having fun. Our wedding guests still talk about how incredible the music was and many have said it was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. I would book them again in a heartbeat!

c that everyone - all generations - would want to dance to. They covered anything from Janis Joplin, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin to Nelly, Beyoncé, and Michael Jackson. Third, my family has a special connection to Phish, but admittedly they aren't the best wedding music. The band hid Phish melodies in other songs that only Phish fans would notice. Overall, the amount of energy, creativity, and care the band put in was overwhelming. Thank you so much, The Hook Club!

, our friends kept raving about how amazing the band was. Even in the months prior, they dedicated so much time rehearsing our song requests, and working with us to make sure the set list was perfect. They exceeded our expectations tremendously and truly made our wedding the best night of our lives. I totally recommend booking them if you want your guests to be blown away!
