    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!!

    If you are from New England and you are looking for a wedding band... you must look into HipShot! They were absolutely amazing and we had the most amazing experience on our wedding day. Our guests cannot stop talking about the music!

    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!!!!

    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.

    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!

    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!!!!

    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.

    If you are looking for a wedding band that will get people moving Hip Shot is the band for you! They were high energy and so fun, getting everyone out on the dance floor early. I cant even count how many guest told us they felt the band was their favorite part of the wedding. Cant say enough good things about Hip Shot, so if you are looking for a band, look no further, they will make your wedding night unforgettable.

    An Amazing Time

    My wife and I were looking for a band that would be able to create an atmosphere of fun energy as we celebrated our love with our close friends and family, and we were so grateful that we chose Hipshot. I never been to a wedding were it felt like the entire room was dancing until our wedding, and I attribute that to the amazing performances of HipShot. They interacted and had fun with our guest and is one of the major talking points with friends and family about our wedding night. You will not be disappointed. Highly Recommend!

    FANTASTIC wedding dance band.

    Hipshot was amazing. The band was the most fun part of the entire wedding. Our friends and family danced all night long. They were kind, professional and talented musicians. Special thanks to front-woman Sharlene!

    Everyone was on the dance floor!

    Hipshot took our wedding to a whole different level. People didn't stop talking about the band the days following the wedding and how fun and talented they were! We had a 7-piece band for the reception and a trio for cocktail hour. Sharlene was wonderful to work with and flexible with all the changes we threw her way (wedding postponement, date change, venue change). Everyone loved Hipshot! You won't be disappointed! Thanks Hipshot :)

    So fun and talented

    Absolutely amazing job. We got the 7 piece band. I asked them to learn a Grateful Dead song and they nailed it. All the dead heads were so impressed. They played a 12 minute song that blew our minds. They were wonderful the whole night. Such a blast. They get the party going and they are so talented.

    Hipshot Band, LLC's reply:

    Hi Marikate....thank you so much and it was an absolute pleasure working with you! What are the chances that the same night of your Wedding, The Greatful Dead actually had a Concert at Gillette Stadium! Yes the Dead Heads had a BLAST and so did we with that song!!!! The day was perfect and filled with LOVE. Thank you so much for having The Hipshot Band !

    Best,

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

    When we began our search for a wedding band we got so lucky in finding the Hipshot Band! There are so many things that go into planning a wedding, a wedding band is a crucial part and takes a lot of planning, but Sharlene and John helped us tremendously, working with them was truly a pleasure. Sharlene is the best at what she does in planning and helping us get everything ready for the big day. They learned new songs for us and customized every little detail we wanted, they were so accommodating. The day of our wedding they were absolutely amazing and were so much fun, we received so many compliments about how great our wedding band, Hipshot was...everyone had a blast and they got everyone up on the dance floor! Collectively they bring tons of musical experience and impressive backgrounds together to form a unique group. If you are looking for a fun funky dance band Hipshot is the way to go plus they make the planning process so easy and a lot of fun too! I can't say enough amazing things about Sharlene and the entire Hipshot band, they are absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for making our wedding day a blast and so memorable!!!

    My June beach weekend

    Sharlene & Hipshot were amazing to work with from the beginning. We went to see them perform in Rhode Island and they rocked the house (this Italian restaurant they play at every do often). We immediately fell in love with their performance and their attitude. Sharlene one of the lead singers was hugging everyone around the room! I immediately booked them after attending their performance. They were great! They even mixed 2 songs to blend and play one after another to make one whole song for my first dance with my husband. It was amazing! What can I say they were a hit at my wedding down the Cape. My family members are still talking about how great they are!! If you happen to book this band you won’t be disappointed. They rock

    The Hipshot Band = Talent, Professionalism and a Night Full of Dancing!

    The Hipshot Band is a complete class act from start to finish. They truly took our wedding from great to unforgettably phenomenal. From the initial conversations with Sharlene, to the encore set on our special night, they delivered in every detail. Hipshot has both talent and professionalism and maintained the delicate balance of playing all our favorite songs and sentimental hits while keeping the crowd dancing all night. We received compliment after compliment about their performance and feel super fortunate we were able to have them. Sharlene and the other vocalists hit every sweet note while the rhythm section provided the grooves. Also, the saxophone man added a nice touch on many of the fun hits they played. The added bonus of going with Hipshot is that they really understand the flow and timing of all the particular "mini events" that go on over the course of the wedding. For example, they played the wedding party entrance song right on cue, learned a specific song for the mother of the groom/groom dance and had nicely crafted pre-recorded playlists for in between sets. If your wedding party wants to dance and have fun, then 10 out of 10 times I'd recommend Hipshot.

    Pay a little extra for the horn section. We hired Hipshot Band to play a nighttime party in rural Vermont. They travelled hours out of Boston, delivered a great night of totally dancable funk and soul music, had a great time with our guests. Wonderful folks and good value too. The horns made it exceptional.

    Thank you so very much Peter & Jenny. I was just looking at pictures from your celebration on today. Everyone was having such a GREAT time.

    Hipshot totally delivered at our wedding reception. I knew from the first time I heard them play that they were the perfect fit for our special day. The band went out of their way to accommodate our needs beforehand, and very professionally handled the entire reception. They let my bride and I focus entirely on the night and on making great memories. I saw members of my family out dancing that I hadn't ever seen on the dance floor before, because of how great the music was. I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone! A great vendor.

    Hipshot Band, LLC's reply:

    Michael,

    Thank you so very much for choosing The Hipshot Band for being a part of this very special day for both you and Tam. It was a GREAT time and loved that everyone stayed on the dance floor all night long! We loved your music selections that had a little of everything from Bob Marley to Sinatra. WHAT AN AMAZING DAY! So glad that you and your guests enjoyed themselves!

    All The Best!

    If it weren’t for Hipshot, our wedding would have been a lot less fun. We had a great wedding with beautiful weather and wonderful people surrounding us. But the band…good grief, Hipshot was amazing. Our wedding guests ranged in age from 18 to 78 – and everyone danced. This to me is a real testament to Hipshot’s talent – they have a way of getting people up and dancing, regardless of age.

    We held a brunch the morning after the wedding for out-of-town guests, and every person who approached me told me they loved the band. I knew Hipshot was special and was so happy to be able to share their talent with all my favorite people in the world. Hiring them for our wedding was by far the best vendor decision we made. They were fantastic every step of the way, from initial inquiries to the final set.

    If you're considering a band for your wedding, go with Hipshot. They offer incredible value for the price (and are the most reasonably-priced band on the market), are very easy to work with, extremely talented, and a guaranteed success with your guests.

    Amy,

    What a FANTASTIC day! Thank you for allowing us to share this day with you! We LOVED the fact that the dance floor stayed full all night. Our initial plan was not to play straight through without a break, but everyone was having such a good time and we were too. I have to say this was the first time we played for 2 1/2 hours straight without a break! You and your guests made the night so much fun, we had a blast doing "The Electric slide to Brick House"...thank you both! Wishing you two many years of happiness!

    Cheers,
    The Hipshot Band

    Great band to work with. They are professional and play what the crowd likes and is dancing and partying to.
