Amazing Band!

I seriously can't stop talking about how great our band was! Everyone had such a blast at our wedding. People were on the dance floor all night long, which was exactly what I wanted! Sharlene was amazing to work with - super responsive, talked to us over the phone in detail about what we wanted and what we didn't want. The band went into the crowd which I LOVE seeing at weddings. It was the best night of my life and Hipshot definitely helped with that! I would recommend them to anyone!

Awesome band!

Hipshot did a great job with our wedding - they provided our ceremony and cocktail hour music, as well as a 9 piece band for the reception. The music was excellent and our guests couldn't stop talking about the band! Highly recommended and very competitively priced. Sharlene and John were very easy to work with and all of the organization was easy.

Book them for FUN!

Hipshot played at my sister’s wedding and a friend's wedding, so I knew we were going to have a great night, and they did not disappoint! Sharlene does a fantastic job MCing the wedding and keeping everything moving. A few times during the night, a few of the bandmates came into the crowd and really made the PARTY come to life. The dance floor was packed the whole time and everyone had a blast!! Days after the wedding, people keep reaching out saying what an amazing night we had and how the band really made that happen! Even the people that work at our venue were glowing about our band, saying this was one of the most fun weddings they had seen all year. We opted for the acoustic guitarist to play at our ceremony and he did a fantastic job. Leading up to our wedding, we had a few calls with Sharlene to iron out all the details - from venue set up to selecting our songs, first dance, flow of the event. Book them!!

Do yourself a favor and hire them!!!!

Words cannot describe how great of a decision it was to hire Hipshot band!!! Our wedding consisted of my 85 year old grandmother all the way to our young 28 year old college friends. Sharlene and Hipshot danced WITH us and kept the party going all night long. People are still talking months later how great our band was! I love these guys!!!!

Amazing band

We hired Hip Shot in 2018 for our wedding planned for 2020… due to the pandemic we had to wait until 2022 to FINALLY have our dream wedding celebration! HIPSHOT communicated with us throughout the entire ordeal and stayed true to our original price and contract. They brought down the house and were the stars of our evening! With a personal mic, a conga line with lead singer to join, saxophone, trumpets, keys, drums galore and so much more. Our friends and family can not speak enough to how awesome this band was. We can’t wait to see them play again!

Best wedding band out there

We can't recommend Hipshot enough. It was important to us to have a great live band at our wedding and Hipshot delivered and then some. Their musicianship AND showmanship are top notch, they don't just stand up there and play. They jam out, get involved with the crowd, and get EVERYONE dancing. They will absolutely take your wedding to the next level. Our guests were all raving about them. Not to mention, their lead singer/manager (Sharlene) is great to work with and was very accommodating to our requests. They are true professionals.

Such a talented and fun band!

We wanted a band so we could dance all night, and Hipshot delivered. They were attentive to every detail leading up to the wedding-- Sharlene was easy to get in touch with--and most importantly they are highly talented! We hired them for ceremony music and amplification/mics as well, which they facilitated effectively and professionally. At the reception, they made sure everyone had a blast on the dance floor. They played music from multiple eras with more classics than recent music, but everything was easy to dance to and sing along with. I even missed one of our requested songs while out taking photos, and they happily played it again later in the night. The band was energetic and multiple band members came out onto the dance floor--everyone had a great time.

Amazing wedding band

OH.MY.GOD. We hired hipshot for our wedding band on 8/13/22 in Portsmouth NH. From start to finish they were amazing. Before the actual wedding day they were responsive, outgoing, and excited. They treated us like friends. They took all my requests into account, let me suggest WAY more songs than I think most bands would accommodate, and learned redbones “come and get your love” for us. They allowed us to schedule several phone calls with them to make sure we were on the same page. Next; professionalism. They were punctual, went with the flow when we were running late, and worked great with our venue and event coordinator. And finally; performance. My fiancé and I are in our 30’s and have been to A LOT of weddings, many with bands. They are, hands down, the best wedding band we’ve ever seen. Everyone kept asking us “WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM!?!” (We found them on wedding wire then went to see them perform). Everyone was literally obsessed with them. They interacted with the crowd, danced with us, and were just so ridiculously congenial and talented. The sax player? PHENOMENAL. And Sharlene was an amazing MC. I would hire them a million times over they were the best part of my wedding. I am even writing this on my way to my honeymoon because I want to make sure I get my thoughts out about them! HIRE THEM!!!!
