    Hot Mess provided an outstanding performance at our wedding! Our guests haven’t stopped raving about them! They rocked it! The dance floor was jam packed all night. Every song was SPOT ON! We’ve been to a lot of weddings and I can honestly say they were the BEST band we've ever seen. They absolutely exceeded our expectations and made our wedding unforgettable! It was a pleasure working Jason and the gang and we will continue to refer them to all our friends.

    Hot mess rocks! Best band ever!

    If you want a wedding that everyone will talk about for years to come, hire Hot Mess! They were absolutely incredible. They were attentive to all our requests, kept to schedule, and most importantly, got the party going! We had 230 guests ages 21 to 75. Everyone was dancing and singing along, literally all night long. Everyone we talked to (who still had their voices after) said it was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding and have never seen so many people on the dance floor. They rocked!!! If you don't go with Hot Mess you're doing it wrong. Recommend x1000!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of having Hot Mess at our wedding April 30th. After seeing them play at a previous wedding, we knew we absolutely could not miss the opportunity to book them for our own. They MADE our wedding exciting, fun, crazy and special. Jason and the crew brought the best energy, vocals and personalization to our special day. Do not pass up the opportunity to hang out with this band!

    Hot mess boston = your dream wedding band

    I'm not sure where to begin with my review of Hot Mess Boston...My wedding took place only yesterday and instead of packing for our honeymoon or taking a much needed nap, my new husband and I felt that the first thing we needed to do once we got home was to write this review. We always knew that Hot Mess was going to be the talk of the wedding reception after watching their promo videos, but WOW do they know how to get a party started! From the moment we arrived onsite at the reception, Jason felt more like a longtime friend to us than a wedding vendor. He nailed our introductions, sparked dance moves in our groomsmen and bridesmaids that I never knew existed, and most importantly he and the rest of the band delivered a performance I never knew I could have on my wedding day. From their impressive jazz trio during cocktail hour, their MP3 selections at dinner time, and of course the "main event" of the evening, it was an unforgettable night of merriment and dancing for each and every one of our guests, nevermind Gene and I. I couldn't believe how many guests told us that "This was the best wedding band I've ever heard!" or "I've never seen so many people dancing at a wedding before!" I also can't forget to mention the adorable & impromptu "Flower Girl Send Off" that occurred behind the scenes...Our young flower girls were upset that they had to leave after dinner, but Hot Mess asked them to do a final sound check and to play tambourines to a private performance of "Shake it Off" which erased all of their tears! We truly can't thank Hot Mess enough for all of the love they gave us last night or sing higher praises of their talent and professionalism. If you are contemplating hiring this band and they have availability on your date, I would book FAST and without hesitation.

    Hot Mess played our Wedding and they were absolutely incredible - easy to work with, extremely flexible with our schedule and rocked the house. Easily the best wedding band I have ever seen - they kept the energy up all night while still keeping the show focused on the Bride and Groom. We had an hour long call with Jason (the band leader) the week before the wedding and didn't have to worry about anything the night of - he kept the entire night on schedule, learned multiple songs just for our reception and made our night perfect. Professional, talented, organized - the best!

    5 Stars aren't enough to explain how good this band is - if you're searching for a band for your wedding, stop wasting your time and just sign up Hot Mess RIGHT NOW.

They absolutely made our wedding & our guests keep telling us that it was the best band they had ever heard! We knew Hot mess would be good but we had no idea they would be the best part of our wedding. We could not have been more blown away by their performance! Our guests didn't leave the dance floor all night including me & my groom! Jason is just fabulous to work with. His attention to detail in the planning process & flexibility with set lists and song choices was so appreciated. The night of our wedding they were prompt & professional & their energy set our room on fire! Worth every single penny & I promise you won't be disappointed!!

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    Wow! It’s hard to put into words how amazing Hot Mess is. We booked Hot Mess for our wedding at the end of July and while we had confidence that they were going to be incredible, they exceeded ALL of our expectations. They made the night! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night, including before dinner. Jason and everyone in the band are so incredibly talented. From Jason’s attention to detail and passion for music, to creating a fun and memorable experience for us and our wedding guests, we couldn’t have asked for more! Our guests haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had dancing and singing all night. Some have even said “That was the best concert I’ve ever been to!” If you are looking for a wedding band, I highly, highly recommend Hot Mess.

    Best wedding band ever!

    If you're looking for THE best band for your wedding, Hot Mess is truly the one and only choice!! Every single person at our reception absolutely LOVED the band - and still talk about it to this day! From Jason’s work as MC to the dinner entertainment and set-lists for dancing, everything with this group is top notch. When planning our wedding, we knew from the very start we’d need Hot Mess at our reception. We had previously seen them perform at two cousin weddings (so you could say it’s a family tradition). Jason even remembered my MIL (Aunt Denise!) and coordinated to have her play the drums for a couple of songs! Truly some of the best in the business, wonderful people to work with, and overall high quality work!!

    Hot Mess is amazing!

    Hot Mess performed for our wedding and did a great job! They were so much fun and provided a lot of energy for dancing! While planning during the pandemic, they were incredibly flexible with accommodating potential backup plans due to possible restrictions on our date (restrictions were ultimately lifted before the wedding). Hot Mess executed flawlessly on the day of the wedding and we all had a great time! Lots of guests raved about how much fun they had with Hot Mess.

    Amazing experience!

    This band is the bomb! They had everyone on their feet having a blast for hours! I don't think our family and friends have ever had so much fun celebrating, being together and enjoying the moment! It was the talk of the wedding! I would hire them in a second if you are lucky enough to book them! Their energy is electric, the music selection perfect and their musical talent is unmatched. Jason knows how to get the party going!! It was truly so fun! THANK YOU HOT MESS!!

    Hot Mess is by far the best wedding band you could hire!!!!!! From the moment we heard them at one of the Hank Agency's Wedding band showcases, we knew that we needed to book them for our wedding. We worked with Gail Sparke from Hank Agency, and she was so great to work with and very responsive getting all our questions answered leading up to the day. She even called the week of the wedding to wish us well, which was a lovely touch! As we got closer to the day, working with Jason was a dream. He and the Hot Mess crew are true professionals and you can be assured that you will be in good hands and they will take care of everything and make the day better then you could even imagine. We had them play our ceremony music with piano, our cocktail hour with acoustic guitar, and then they brought the house down at the reception. All of our guests were raving to us the night of the wedding, and beyond about how awesome Hot Mess was. Jason is an amazing MC and the rest of the band, Ashley, Lacy, John, Matt, Tim, & Ryan are absolutely amazing. Everyone couldn't believe how much they sounded like the original artists and the dance floor was packed to the end of the night. We really can't say enough about how amazing Hot Mess is, hands down, best wedding band out there, Love them!!!!!!

    Best Night Ever!

    If you’re considering another band…what are you doing?! Hot Mess is the ONLY choice to make sure you have the best night of your life. My husband and I saw the band play 5 years ago at an event, and I knew when the time came this had to be our wedding band. Coming from someone with exceedingly high expectations, Jason and team blew us away with their professionalism, talent, and CONTENT! We had no idea we’d also be walking away with high quality photos from the night. Jason listened to everything we asked for and meticulously went through run of show prior to the wedding night. I felt like I was greeting an old friend when walking into our venue. As someone who has so much anxiety over the details, I was completely at ease and had 100% confidence with the whole band before even stepping out onto the dance floor. All of our guests were truly blown away by how incredible Hot Mess was, and guests are continuing to reach out that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. They knew exactly what vibes to bring when and truly just brought the house down. We walked away feeling like family, and I can’t wait until the next time we see them perform. Anyone hiring Hot Mess for their wedding? I’m an awesome wedding guest!

    Most amazing band ever!

    You cannot go wrong in any sense with Hot Mess! They truly are the best band ever! The entire team was so amazing and it was an extremely smooth and easy process from the very start to coordinate with them for our big day. They brought all of the energy and fun to our day and specialized it just for us! All our friends and family were raving about how they were the best wedding band they had ever seen! The dance floor was packed the entire night and they did an incredible job of learning and performing our chosen songs. Jason was the best MC we could've asked for and so talented as a singer! He is so kind and the best person to work with! The entire band brought incredible talent and excitement to the day/ night. We had the guitar at the ceremony and Sax/keyboard at cocktail hour, who were so amaxing. We love Hot Mess!! They made our wedding an unforgettable weekend in the best way possible! =)

    The BEST Wedding Band - Guests saying best wedding band ever seen

    We hired Hot Mess to perform at our wedding in late June this year and it was the best decision we made. If they are available for your date you should book them immediately (or better yet, book your date around when they are available, seriously). They performed piano for our ceremony, guitar for cocktail hour, and full band for the reception. They are all timely, professional, energetic, dress to impress, and such talented musicians and performers. Jason is incredible to work with. He customized the whole night to our preferences, and the dance floor was packed for the entire reception. We have heard from dozens of guests that they are hands down the best wedding band they have ever experienced, including our cousin who is in a band himself. Did we mention how talented each and every musician is?! My husband and I spent the whole night on the dance floor with our guests too (and he's not much of dancer usually). Run don't walk to book Hot Mess for your wedding! They are a game changer.

    Hot mess was the first thing we booked for our September 2017 wedding! Having done my sisters wedding 2 years before and being a surefire hit, we knew we definitely wanted this band for our wedding too!

    They work with you every step of the way, always on top of the ball, very organized and above all, beyond excited to make your special day the absolute BEST. Jason, the band leader is so great and fun to work with bringing unbelievable talent and enthusiasm to something he clearly loves to do!

    Our wedding went off without a hitch and was the perfect night dancing to great music with friends and family! Everyone, especially us, had a blast and loved the band!! They are definitely able to keep the energy levels going :) If looking for an awesome overall band for your wedding, we would highly recommend!!

    Best Wedding Band I've Ever Seen

    Hot Mess was probably one of the best bands I've seen in quite some time. They arrived hours early to make sure lighting and sound was perfect, talk to you before (even leading up to the date) to make sure everything is what you wanted it to be, and they're range across genres was unbelievable. Jason makes sure everyone is having a great time and interacts with the crowd to make the show an awesome experience. Could not recommend a better band for any style of event.

    Jason and the whole Hot Mess band were nothing short of amazing at our wedding. They played exactly the kind of music we asked for and kept just about everybody on the dance floor all night long. We got tons of comments the next day about how great they were and how much fun people had as a result. We'd highly recommend hiring Hot Mess for your big day!

    Blown away does not even begin to describe how amazing Hot Mess was at our wedding!! From the beautiful ceremony music, to the perfect vibe of the cocktail hour to the party of the century which was our reception everything exceeded our expectations (and more importantly my mom’s expectations). Tania at the Hank Agency was amazing during the planning process as was Jason from Hot Mess. He always listened to my requests no matter how crazy, and offered great advice on so many things that I had no clue about. Really, who knew wedding introductions could be so much fun?! I seriously can’t thank Hot Mess enough for making our day beyond special and I would whole wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a wedding band. If your reading this and debating on what to do, debate no further. I promise you will not regret this decision!

    When my daughter Nicole and son in-law Stephen had gotten engaged on November 19, 2016 the debate began, DJ or band? My wife Diane and I were married 30 years ago and had a band. Several other relatives who had tied the knot also had bands. So, a band it would be. Soon the search began. After a Google search of " Best wedding bands in New England " there was a list of many bands that had surfaced. After watching several you tube videos and reading dozens of 5 star reviews, oh and not to mention that Hot Mess was voted top wedding band in 2016, 2017 and later 2018. It was clear to ALL that they were our band. Jason was in constant contact with Nicole and Stephen months prior to June 2nd 2018. They forwarded their song list that was like a small novel. They even learned "Then " by Brad Paisley for their first dance as husband and wife. Jason was the MC for the entire event, and it was evident from the introductions of the wedding party that we would be in for one incredible evening. The salad wasn't even on the table and the dance floor was packed by guests of all ages. After the traditional dances, cake cutting and garter they played three 70 minute high energy power sets. I reflected back reading many reviews that mentioned " They made our wedding reception", " The band was the best ever", etc..etc.. and as I write this review, they were all so spot on. As a 54 year old I've been to my fair share of weddings, clubs, block parties, and Hot Mess is by far the best in the business and worth every penny. To think that the horn section, and several singers ventured onto the dance floor to join the party was amazing. I can't tell you how many guests approached us to say that Hot Mess was the best band that they've ever heard. Thanks for your professionalism and energy which complimented an already awesome day. We look forward to following the band in the public sector for years to come. God bless and rock on, much love Gary and Diane Clark

    Best band ever

    If you want to have the best day of your life, then you NEED to book Hot Mess.
    They came highly recommended from our planner, so we decided to book them unseen/unheard and we are so glad we did. They were so nice and helpful the entire process. Closer to our date, Jason reached out to us personally and went over every little detail. They were able to sing all of our special songs (even learned our first dance!) and provided a keyboard player for our ceremony and a guitarist for our cocktail hour. They played throughout dinner and so many people got up to dance. But the best part of all was the dance party that ensued once all the formalities were over..IT WAS EPIC. They are so good that if they went on tour they’d be playing sold out shows everywhere - I’m not exaggerating. Every song was better than the original version, the ENERGY and the way they interacted with the crowd was incredible. Everyone from ages 3-88 were up dancing and singing ALL NIGHT LONG. I couldn’t believe when the last song came on that it was over..but then they did an encore! It was amazing and I will forever be grateful for them being a part of our day.

    Jason, You guys truly made our wedding so amazing. We wanted a band that would tear the roof off the place and you guys delivered. We have been getting txt’s and phone calls from everyone saying how awesome the band was!! Thank you again so much and we will definitely be seeing each other very soon at a show!!

    Ps – I almost forgot. The owners told us yesterday that your set was the best set they have ever seen at the manor.

    If you knew their personalities you would know they are not the kind of people that say stuff like that to make you happy. So that is very impressive. Again, unbelievable job!!!!

    Josh and Ashley

    The Greatest Wedding Band in the World

    Hot Mess absolutely blew my bride and I out of the water with their incredible talent, vocals, and instruments. Jason’s energy as MC is unmatched as he can manage to get every single table on the dance floor. Even those who may normally choose to sit during a reception were out there breaking out dance moves they probably haven’t used in ages.

    We are so fortunate that we hired them for our wedding and are grateful for the amount of joy they brought to our day. You can tell they love what they do and we absolutely love them. We’re already trying to find some form of a party to hire them for in the future. Hot Mess, we’ll see y’all soon. ❤️

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

    When I say Hot Mess brought the house down on our wedding night—I mean it! My husband and I had seen them perform at a few weddings over the years, and there was never a doubt in our minds that they were the band we wanted for our big day.

    From the ceremony processional to cocktail hour, and all the way through the final song of the reception, Hot Mess absolutely blew us away. They understood the vibe we were going for and delivered an unforgettable experience—not just for us, but for every single guest.

    The dance floor was packed all night long. Hit after hit, they kept the energy high and the party going strong. Our guests are still raving about how incredible the band was and how much fun they had. I can’t even tell you how many of our guests came up to us to say that Hot Mess was the greatest wedding band that they have ever seen.

    If you're searching for a wedding band that will bring unmatched energy, talent, and professionalism—look no further. Hot Mess will give you and your guests the night of your lives.

    Thank you, Hot Mess, for making our wedding celebration truly unforgettable!
