Professional and flexible!

I have always loved live music, and it was one of my main requests to have a live band at our wedding. My husband (then fiancé) didn't totally understand, but respected my request and prioritized it in our budget. My parents thought it was unnecessary, and we could just have a DJ or a playlist. However, after the wedding, all of our guests, especially my parents, couldn't stop raving about Hip Service. Many of them kept saying how we hired the best band and they had the best time! Even my parents admitted having Hip Service made a huge difference for our wedding. We are so glad our wedding planner highly recommended Hip Service. From planning to the wedding day, they were professional and flexible. They even provided a short recording of their band practice ahead of time to allow us to practice our first dance with. We couldn't thank the band enough for their amazing service!

Hip Service - amazing band!

Hip Service was amazing! They were well rehearsed, and their energy was on fire! Everyone that attended thought they rocked the house. They got the guests on the dance floor for the whole night; it was just what I had hoped for - I would definitely recommend them for your next party.

The Highlight of Our Reception!!

We hired Hip Service and their audio team for our wedding, and they were truly incredible! The audio technician was organized, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. And the band itself was amazing! We are STILL (six months later) receiving compliments from guests and people continue to ask for their name!

Hip Service was clearly the highlight of our reception. They kept the crowd energized and the dance floor full, and they even let me get on stage to dance to my favorite song, which was such a memorable moment! Their choreography was fantastic, their vocals were outstanding, and they brought an energy that completely elevated the night. They were easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

We would choose them again a million times over. We highly, highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

Wow, this was THE band! Incredible!

HOLY FRIGGIN MOLY - we are over the moon pumped to have worked with Hip Service for our wedding. The sound at the ceremony was excellent and smooth, and the band at the reception was BEYOND INCREDIBLE! They worked with us on a perfect and fun entrance moment (minds blown!), completely nailed our first dance song that they learned just for us (this meant SO much to us!), then played an INSANE set of just the highest caliber music, vocals, choreo, vibes, everything. Book them if you want a killer dance party!

Amazing Experience

We hired Hip Service for our wedding and we are so beyond glad we did! They are nothing short of amazing. They were awesome to work with from the beginning, making the process so easy and enjoyable. They showed up that day and knew exactly what was needed to do and were extremely professional. They put on the best show ever! The best songs without us knowing the playlist, incredible choreography, the most amazing energy and so much talent. We have had so many people reach out to us after our wedding sharing with us how amazing they were and gave raving reviews.

One piece of advice for anyone planning a wedding: hire Hip Service! You wont regret it!

The BEST Decision

Hip Service was the best decision! It can be hard to choose a band without seeing them live, but trust me, you will not regret it! So many people came up to me after the wedding to tell me how amazing the band was. Two different people told me it was the best band they had ever seen live, including all concerts - not just wedding bands! Everyone was raving about them! They could not have been better!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band than big crush with hip service! Their performance was absolutely phenomenal, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night. From their flawless rendition of our favorite song for our first dance to the customized perfect set list - every moment was a hit! They were professional, engaging, and true performers.

Amazing and talented band, easy to work with—can’t recommend them enough!

We did a lot of research on wedding bands, but due to timing and availability, we didn’t get the chance to see one live before making our decision. Based on reading reviews and a recommendation from our planner, we chose Hip Service- and we’re so glad we did!

Working with Steve was easy, fun, and professional. The band was absolutely incredible with talented musicians delivering a unique and diverse playlist that kept the dance floor packed all night long. They even surprised us by learning a special song we requested. We didn’t want the night to end!

We highly recommend Hip Service!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

If I could give them 10 stars I would! I am a wedding planner in the Seattle area and was looking for the perfect high energy dance band for my client's destination wedding in Sonoma. My clients were very picky in what they wanted so I was so thankful when I researched Hip Service and it sounded like they were everything we were looking for. Nothing cheesy, just classy, extremely talented and fun. We hired them for ceremony piano, PA system and guitarist for the cocktail hour, their jazz band for dinner and the 11 piece Hip Service experience for the rest of the event. Steve was so easy to work with, easy going with our questions and changes leading up to the wedding. As a planner, it made my job so much easier. I must say that even with all of my high expectations and excitement for this band going into it, on the wedding day, they absolutely blew me away and I've been working with event bands for over a decade. They nailed it perfectly on each and every portion of the event. Hip Service is SIMPLY THE BEST I have ever seen. Northern California, you are lucky to have them! Hire them and see for yourself!
