From the moment I saw The Hook Club perform at another wedding years ago, I knew that one day I would have them at my own wedding. They were actually the very first vendor we booked, and we even based our wedding venue selection around their availability — that’s how incredible they are.

Since our wedding, we’ve received dozens of messages from guests asking about the band and telling us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. The dance floor was packed all night long, and the energy never dropped for a second.

Dan and the entire team were unbelievable to work with. They accommodated some unique music requests and created the perfect blend of oldies and modern music that kept every generation on the dance floor. The DJ/band hybrid was such a game changer because they were able to play songs that many of our guests said they had never heard at weddings before.

They also provided violin music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which was absolutely beautiful and such a highlight of the day. Every detail was handled perfectly, and their attention to detail throughout the entire process was truly unbelievable.

If you want a wedding where your guests are talking about the music all night, book The Hook Club. They exceeded every expectation we had.

When planning our wedding, our top priority was the vibe on the dance floor. We, and our friends, wanted to RIP IT dancing until the last possible second. Our planner pointed us toward DJ A Ball + The Hook Club and we never looked back. MC Jesse got and kept everyone pumped up, and we intrinsically trusted DJ Ash to read the room and keep the energy right where it needed to be. And, THC gave us so much room to customize our experience. We’re both music heads, and we had a lot of very specific, queer, sentimental song requests. We came away from our wedding truly feeling like we had the best DJ of any wedding we’ve ever been to.

The Hook Club is truly as good as it gets! Their communication, professionalism, attention to detail and talent are unmatched! The Hook Club seamlessly put together a melodic piano and vocal set for our ceremony and then turned up the energy with a live saxophone and stylistic DJ set that our wedding guests are still talking about! They are a standout company and will collaborate with you in the most wonderful way to make your entertainment vision a reality no matter how big or small!

The Hook Club made our wedding dreams come true. My husband is Dominican and I am from New England, and therefore we were looking for a bilingual band that could play a very wide range of music - from American wedding classics, to Pop, to Reggaeton, to Merengue, to Bachata — and a group that could MC the evening in Spanish and English, and bring the energy to keep the party going.  We went with Hook Club’s 7 piece DJ Band, and they were above and beyond fantastic. They curated a setlist that somehow, despite the wide range of music, flowed together and was cohesive. I can’t express enough how talented they are vocally, instrumentally, professionally, and as performers. The dance floor was absolutely lit; even my brother who was on crutches and had a torn labrum couldn’t stay away. It makes me tear up thinking about how much energy, positivity, and happiness they brought to our night — they will always have a special place in our hearts. They are also true professionals - the planning process was easy, they were prompt in all communication, and on the day of they handled venue-related hiccups with grace. They were the first vendor to arrive to ensure a thorough set up, and the last to leave.  They are truly such a special, one of a kind group, and I cannot recommend them enough. Of all the many decisions we made in planning our wedding, choosing THC was by far the best decision of them all. Although our wedding was back in August; our friends and family are still talking about The Hook Club, exclusively referring to them as “ the best wedding band they have ever heard before”. We had a fairly diverse crowd in terms of age, background, taste in music and their ability to please that wide range of people is a testament to their talent. THANK YOU TO THE HOOK CLUB !!!

We LOVED the Hook Club!!! They were great to work with and made the planning process so easy. They are able to cover so many songs and accommodated our special requests! And they brought the FUN! The ceremony, the cocktail hour funky trio and into the dancing - the whole night was epic thanks to the Hook Club!!!

The Hook Club is a must hire if you want an excellent dance party at your wedding! They brought the fun all night long and are superbly talented. They’ll meet with you and collaborate so you can tailor the experience to your personal music preferences. 10/10

The Hook Club was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Jesse and the team are incredibly organized and professional, but more importantly, they care about understanding your musical taste and the experience you want to create. In the months leading up to the wedding, they worked closely with us to refine that vision and then brought it to life in ways that completely exceeded our expectations.

Both my wife and I come from Caribbean families, and we had older relatives attending. We wanted to honor that with some Caribbean music, but I struggled to create a playlist that would satisfy everyone. Jesse listened, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, we got you.” And they did. Midway through the night, the band launched into a live Caribbean set that wasn’t even on our list, but it was perfect. It was so nostalgic that even our older relatives with canes were on the dance floor.

That moment said it all: these guys truly know music, understand the formula for a great time, and make it their mission to elevate your vision. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Just book them. You won’t regret it.

We cannot speak more highly of our experience with The Hook Club for our wedding. We had the best time on the dance floor and our guests raved about the music and vibe at our wedding. It felt like we were back in New Orleans. It was also a pleasure to plan everything from booking to planning out the music/MC details. The custom excel makes it so easy and transparent. Jesse even went above and beyond to meet with our family to learn/discuss special song requests. All of our special requests, events, and Jewish songs were executed perfectly. Thank you Jesse, Emily, L'Marco, Bree, and the rest of the band!! - Lindsay and Sam (NYBG 2025)

We cannot recommend Hook Club enough! Dan, Jesse, and their entire team are so nice and so easy to work with. Plus they are SUPER talented! They have so many songs to choose from, plus they are willing to work on any song requests you may have. We asked them to play the Notre Dame fight song and they did not disappoint. You know you have the best band when everyone is complimenting them long after your wedding. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding so special. Thank you!!

They were super helpful, accommodating, and had amazing ideas. Thank you!!!
