About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands. Owned and operated by a tight-knit community of musicians, they are known for their attention to every musical detail and the professionalism they bring to every event. Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

The Hook Club’s specialty is to take every audience on a journey they will never forget. From timeless classics to today's dance hits, their instrumentalists dazzle crowds for hours on end with their high-energy arrangements, while their diverse roster of vocalists get the crowd dancing and singing top 40, classic rock, and hip-hop hits on the dance floor. When The Hook Club plays, they get the whole room involved, and everyone leaves feeling like a member of the band!

Services Offered

They offer three configurations of The Hook Club for weddings - Full Band, Classic Band, and DJ Band hybrid. In addition, they provide a wide range of ceremony and cocktail hour music options, including string quartets, trios, and other bespoke ensembles. They have their own professional production team, so they are well-equipped to provide high-end sound systems, ceremony microphones, dance lighting, and many other services.

As an independent group, their clients work directly with the band, never through a talent agency or management company, so their performance is guaranteed to be suited to your personal style. Send them a message or give them a call to start planning the perfect music for your wedding!

Coolest wedding musicians you can find!

The Hook Club was by far the coolest musicians I was able to find in terms of having an NYC night out vibe, and not a typical "wedding" vibe. We had a bass and guitar duo for our cocktail hour. They were super nice and awesome musicians. It started raining an hour into our cocktails so we had to move inside, and the bassist switched to playing a piano so that we could continue the music inside. Everyone was so impressed by how multi-talented they were!! Loved them and wish we had them play music for more of our reception. Dan, the founder, as well as the rest of their staff were incredibly organized and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!!

The best of all our vendors

Look no further than The Hook Club for your wedding band. We genuinely cannot say enough good things. Prior to the wedding, I researched and listened to a dozen or more bands. We kept coming back to THC because their online videos had an authentic, non-studio-enhanced sound that still beat out the quality of in-studio work from others. We really didn't want to take the final leap though until we could see them live. Dan was super-patient with us throughout the process, keeping us posted on when a showcase came down the pipeline. When we finally got to see them, it took about 2 songs to confirm they were the band for us.

On our big day, we had an 11-piece band after the bride's dad surprised us with an add-on fiddler. Having said this, the band had 14 or 15 different people making music over the course of the night, as even their sound engineers got in on the action at different times. Every style and tempo was phenomenal--from songs in Spanish to the Hora to Motown to pop, they nailed it all. My wife and I have different tastes in music, yet both came away immensely satisfied with the setlist. I can't even count how many of our guests came up to us throughout the night complimenting the band. On top of it all, they learned (at least) four special request songs--these were performed with the perfect balance of true to why we love the songs, but with that live-music spin on things.

THC was our favorite of all the vendors we worked with. Seriously--hire them now and save yourself time to plan the million other things on your list!

Best Band Imaginable

Could not have asked for a better experience! The Hook Club was so easy to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail was clearly seen on the day of our wedding and our guests have been raving about them 2 weeks after our wedding! Dan answered our every question and played the songs we requested and did it so well! Truly could not recommend them more for any event you have to plan.
