I'm a very recent bride. If you're considering hiring the Riverside Hitmen, listen up! And TL;DR, hire them.
From the offset, Riverside Hitmen (and Kyle in particular) went above ...and beyond. I called just to see if they were available because I ran into an issue with a prior potential band's contract. The Riverside Hitmen (Kyle) were quick and very responsive, and since I guess I'm someone who cares about clear contracts, they had a great one. We were able to book them with no issues on our end.
Kyle had a great onboarding call with us and maintained communication throughout the leadup to our wedding. He's got a system where we lay out songs together, events of the day, holes that need to be filled, ect. Kyle was offering to help out left and right. While we had most of it under control, it was very reassuring to have a professional asking questions and offering other ways to be helpful for the duration of our day. There were definitely moments we didn't talk about where Kyle or a band member leapt into action to fill some 'musical voids' and it made our day a lot more fun and relaxing with them in our corner.
Kyle & crew arrived at our event very early to get set up and ready, Kyle and the rest of the band were super flexible and fun. Our wedding had a theme that they even dressed for when they didn't have to. We loved and appreciated that!
Now on top of all that, the music was spectacular. They did such a fantastic job getting our audience hyped and involving everyone there so that people kept on dancing. I won't spoil it here, but they have tricks to get people on the floor and their talent keeps people there. They were JUST SO GOOD. Each and every musician there was fantastic, you just felt amazing –I really can't say enough about their incredible sound and energy.
After our event, our guests keep gushing to us about how great they were and how much fun they had. We are so happy with how our day went, in large part thanks to the Riverside Hitmen, and we can't wait for our next chance to hire them.
