Professional and flexible!

I have always loved live music, and it was one of my main requests to have a live band at our wedding. My husband (then fiancé) didn't totally understand, but respected my request and prioritized it in our budget. My parents thought it was unnecessary, and we could just have a DJ or a playlist. However, after the wedding, all of our guests, especially my parents, couldn't stop raving about Hip Service. Many of them kept saying how we hired the best band and they had the best time! Even my parents admitted having Hip Service made a huge difference for our wedding. We are so glad our wedding planner highly recommended Hip Service. From planning to the wedding day, they were professional and flexible. They even provided a short recording of their band practice ahead of time to allow us to practice our first dance with. We couldn't thank the band enough for their amazing service!

Incredible

I cannot say enough good things about HipService! We just used them for our wedding this past weekend in Napa and it was truly the best time. The band, acoustic guitarists, and DJ were seriously all so amazing. Multiple of our guests came up to us to tell us how much fun the band was and that they'd never seen a dance floor packed at all times like that (which was exactly our goal). The DJ (after the band) was also super fun and open to our recommendations. My now husband and I were saying we need one of our other friends/or family members to get married ASAP so that we can recommend HipService and experience it all over again! Thank you seriously so much for making all of our wedding music dreams come true. It was THE BEST time!

Best wedding band ever!

Hip Service was freaking amazing. We had them for my wedding on October 21st in Carmel Valley and they SHOWED UP! Their energy/vibe was incredible, the sound was awesome, they listened to all of our requests, and they made the party so much better. Seriously so unforgettable and so grateful we chose them to be a part of our special day.

If I could give them 10 stars I would! I am a wedding planner in the Seattle area and was looking for the perfect high energy dance band for my client's destination wedding in Sonoma. My clients were very picky in what they wanted so I was so thankful when I researched Hip Service and it sounded like they were everything we were looking for. Nothing cheesy, just classy, extremely talented and fun. We hired them for ceremony piano, PA system and guitarist for the cocktail hour, their jazz band for dinner and the 11 piece Hip Service experience for the rest of the event. Steve was so easy to work with, easy going with our questions and changes leading up to the wedding. As a planner, it made my job so much easier. I must say that even with all of my high expectations and excitement for this band going into it, on the wedding day, they absolutely blew me away and I've been working with event bands for over a decade. They nailed it perfectly on each and every portion of the event. Hip Service is SIMPLY THE BEST I have ever seen. Northern California, you are lucky to have them! Hire them and see for yourself!

I love Hip Service! Wonderful music, wonderful, friendly, band members. Working with them throughout an event is smooth and fun. When you need to make adjustments they are happy to accommodate and helpful as well. If you are considering a band for your event then by all means book Hip Service! I hear lots of bands and don't often make recommendations for all of them...this one is the ONE! Thank You all for being so wonderful all around!
