They'll Make the Whole Event Special!

The Paper City Hustlers were FANTASTIC! I was in my cousin's wedding about 10 years ago and they blew us away. The moment I got engaged, I knew who I wanted to hire for my wedding! They are extremely talented, responsive, and professional. Their music selections are exactly what every wedding needs. I wish I could re-live this day over and over! If you're looking for a great wedding or event band, this is it! Thank you again, Wes!

Great guys, better music!

We were referred to Paper City Hustlers by Sabrage Charters for entertainment for our rehearsal dinner on their catamaran in St. Augustine. Wes and the guys did a stunning job, playing to the vibe of our crowd with island, southern rock and country music. They WOW’ed our friends and family and made it a really special night for us where we could relax on the night before our big day. We’d recommend this group for any special occasion and any venue!

Everyone will want to dance!

The Paper City Hustlers are the perfect wedding band! They play a little bit of everything, and they definitely entertain. They can set a romantic mood for cocktail hour and dinner, but turn it up for dancing and socializing. Wes knows how to keep the flow moving and never allows for a dull moment. He was great at keeping us on schedule throughout the night so we hit the key points like first dances, toasts, and cake cutting, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the night. They kept guests of all ages entertained while we stepped away for a few B&G photos. My husband and I are by no means dancers, but the Paper City Hustlers got us on the floor to hopefully not embarrass ourselves too much! They made sure to play any songs that we requested and also made sure not to play songs we didn’t want. I would definitely recommend this band to any couple who’s looking for professionalism, a good sound, and a good time!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
