    The best wedding band

    Hot Mess is the absolute best band for a wedding! They cover all the bases from ceremony music, cocktail hour, introductions and of course getting the party started at the reception. They are incredibly talented and wonderful to work with

    Hot Mess Rocks!!

    We cannot recommend Hot Mess enough! Jason and crew were fantastic. My husband and I wanted a fun, high energy celebration for our wedding and they delivered! Band did a phenomenal job MC-ing the night, getting our “vibe” to ensure our 30yrs old and 60s crowd were on the dance floor and all having a great time. Great interaction with the guest, all guests have commented the band was a highlight!

    Hot Mess is the best!

    We got married in early February 2024 and could not be happier that we went with Hot Mess. On our wedding day, they brought fantastic energy, kept everyone on the dance floor, and made the entire night so much fun! Jason is a truly awesome leader, and both in preparation for the day, and on the actual day, got us and everyone else so excited. We cannot recommend Hot Mess enough and if you do pick them, we would guarantee that your dance floor will be a great time. Added bonus for us is that they also captured one of our favorite photos from our ceremony!

    Outstanding!

    Hot Mess delivered a fantastic experience. This wasn’t just tunes, it was entertainment----skillful musicians, solos (including sax--WHOA!), talented, full-range and versatile singers, great sound quality, familiar upbeat selections, coordination with speeches-dancing-the rest of the program, band-member (9!) availability at the break, focused-exuberant-contagious energy, all wrapped into a seamless one. A standout, a treat.

    Corporate planners may wish to give the group special attention. Jason himself is a model of a congenial, engaging band leader. The powerful numbers, verve and flexibility have the makings of a highly-enjoyable, unifying and productive meeting.

Jason was also extremely easy to work with and he was AMAZING on the night of the wedding. The music, entertainment, MC services, were all TOP NOTCH and made our entire wedding night complete. We have had guests tell us repeatedly that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and we have Hot Mess to thank for that!!

    No better band out there!

    Jason and the entire Hot Mess band are hands down the BEST wedding band out there. The energy Jason and the team brings to the night (and lead up) are bar none. They had everyone at my wedding, from the youngest guest to the oldest guest, out on that dance floor from start to finish. As Jason would say, we went to "the moon and back" that night!! Best night of my life and it's all because of The Hot Mess! Best energy, best vocals, best song list, best communication, best quick wit, best vibe, best outfits, I could go on. I am still on cloud 9 writing this... these guys know how to ignite a party! Love you Hot Mess!

    Best wedding band!

    Hot Mess exceeded our expectations without a doubt!! From the moment we got in touch with Gail to answer questions, chatted with Jason to go over the timeline, to meeting the whole band in person, every step of the process was great. Jason is AWESOME and makes you feel so comfortbale, he has so much energy and really made us feel special on our day. Everyone at my wedding couldnt stop raving about the band; like their outfits, voices, professionalism, engergy, ability to read the room, dances, talent, ect!

    Something I wanted to mention was that I wanted to incorporate some traditional Greek music into the night and Jason worked with me on how we could do that. He was patient and flexible on everything! We worked on a timeline that was just right for me and my husband. I really appreciated that!

    I have been to many weddings with a band but would recommend and choose Hot Mess everytime!

    Hot Mess is the GOAT

    Hot Mess was absolutely phenomenal! They are the only thing anyone wants to talk about when we relive our wedding day. The energy they brought to the dance floor was contagious, and the musicianship was truly top-notch. The vocals were so clear and powerful, and the vibe was exactly what we were hoping for. They kept our guests dancing all night long, and we couldn't have been happier with their performance. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band that will make their special day unforgettable.

    The Most Incredible Band EVR!

    Hot Mess - we couldn’t have imagined our day to be anywhere near as amazing as it was. From the planning before hand; learning THREE new songs for us, making our outdoor first dance happen with a live vocalist and pianist, and having the most energetic and fun MC are just a few of the examples. Jason - you went above and beyond for us to make everything happen. We never had to consider giving anything up from our vision and were given opportunities we didn’t know were possible. Instead of taking a break, the band was having such s great time they played straight through the whole night! They played every genre and if we were ever at a crossroads of knowing a song, they made it happen one way or another. The outfit changes were incredible, the saxophone was phenomenal, absolutely amazing! They all did such an impressive job with handling the guests who were very much invading their band space on the dance floor. If I could recommend anything other than the obvious of hiring Hot Mess for your wedding band, have the Shipping Up To Boston close the night, you will NOT regret it! We are eternally grateful for you guys!!!

    xoxo - the DiGiacomos

    Hands down amazing

    Hot Mess did not disappoint! I had chosen them solely off my vendor’s recommendation and listing to their videos online. Jason is wonderful and completely calmed all my nerves during our pre-wedding check in (I’m very particular). On our wedding day, we had an hour to take photos before the ceremony when the downpour somehow let up. I should have been focusing on getting some great outdoor photos, but I heard Hot Mess’ sound check for one of the songs we asked them to learn and couldn’t help but start dancing and immediately wanted to get the party started! And when it did start, it did not stop! My guests could not stop talking about them even well after my wedding. They were my favorite part of my wedding! If you’re even considering them slightly, just do it! You will not be disappointed! - Sincerely One Happy Bride

    Hot Mess will make your dance floor dreams come true!

    Hot Mess ABSOLUTELY crushed it at our wedding! We’ve been married since Sept and we STILL have people tell us how amazing they were. Our guests, young & older generations (much to our surprise) danced all night! They left me with memories I will treasure forever, ones I know would not have been made without Hot Mess. Jason and his amazingly talented group of singers & musicians blew us away. They played a custom Taylor Swift / Cannon in D mashup while I walked down the aisle that set the stage for our evening & garden inspired theme and then kept the evening going with amazing energy all night long during the reception. I almost wish I could plan another wedding just to have them there again (but planning one was enough on my sanity for now lol). Hot mess will make your wedding a HOT Commodity!

    Best wedding band ever!

    From the moment we first reached out Jason and his team were committed to providing the best experience possible for our wedding day! Jason could not have been more helpful in walking us through their process, helping answer all our questions, and ensuring their performance was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. In the weeks following our wedding we've heard from multiple guests how fantastic the music was. I don't think anyone left the dance floor! To anyone looking to book Hot Mess, know you're booking a professional band whose main goal is to make sure everyone is dancing, having a great time, and that you're having the best wedding possible!

    The best part of our wedding night!

    Hot Mess is truly the BEST wedding band and my husband and I cannot recommend them enough! We hired Hot Mess for our fall wedding and our guests are still raving about how phenomenal the music was several months later! The band manager, Gail, was our point person leading up to the wedding and was a delight to work with. She is so kind, responsive, and super helpful with the entire planning process. A few weeks before the big day with spoke with Jason to review our song choices, timeline, intro’s, etc. We knew the moment we starting chatting with him that we were going to be in for one AMAZING wedding night! Jason’s energy and enthusiam is truly second to none. One thing that was super important to us was our first dance that was choreographed to Dancing in the Moonlight and the Hot Mess band absolutely crushed it - even our dance instructor was so impressed at how Hot Mess was able to replicate the exact tempo of the song.

    Thank you Gail, Jason, and the entire Hot Mess crew for being the BEST part of our wedding night!!!

    Unforgettable Part of an Unfrogettable Night

    Hot Mess performed at our September wedding and they were fantastic. We are still receiving compliments and recognition from friends and family about how great the band was. They really differentiated themselves in personalization, entertainment, and talent.

    Personalization: Jason and team were truly invested in realizing our vision. We didn’t stop at do and don’t playlists, but discussed how songs could be arranged and weaved together to reach desired energy levels. Jason was also super stoked to add some Bruce into the setlist after learning many family members were from New Jersey.

    Entertainment: The band kept the energy up all night long. They engaged with the crowd and performed on the dance floor several times, which was a fun twist we have not seen from other wedding bands.

    Talent: Hot Mess came recommended from our wedding planner, and we had never seen them previously perform live. But their vocal and musical skills along with the large range of the set list was truly impressive and collectively unmatched by other wedding bands we have seen.

    Hot Mess was incredible and truly an unforgettable part to an unforgettable night of celebration.

    The best wedding band!!

    We just used Hot Mess for our wedding and could not be happier with the decision! They were not only incredibly talented, but the entire band brought the best energy for our special day! Prior to the big day we had a call with Jason who was extremely helpful and professional, we knew immediately we were in great hands. On the day of the wedding everything went so smoothly and the amount of people who came up to us during the party and after asking for the band information was a testament to how amazing they were! I would 100% recommend Hot Mess and if I ever needed to hire a band for an event in the future they would be my first call!

    Truly the best of the best!

    We literally planned our entire wedding around booking Hot Mess as our band because they are truly THAT GOOD! From day one, Jason and his team were so amazing to work with and their enthusiasm for making our day special was truly unmatched. What really sets them apart (beyond their extraordinary talent) is their authenticity. They don’t just play music; they connect with the crowd and bring an infectious energy to the entire night. The dance floor was packed all night long and our guests are still raving about how amazing Hot Mess is and that it was the most fun wedding that they’ve ever been to! If you are looking for a wedding band that is not only incredibly talented but also so genuine and fun to work with, Hot Mess is the perfect choice. Thank you, Hot Mess, for the best party we could’ve EVER asked for to celebrate our wedding! We will never be over it!!

    Hot Mess brought the absolute party!!! The most epic band EVER and our guests continue to rave about them. If you want someone who is extremely attentive to detail and knows how to bring every single person onto the dance floor, look no further. Jason is phenomenal and so easy to work with. I wish we could give them 10 stars — you will think you’re at a concert and they sound even better than the actual artists.

    Epic Rager - Wedding

    We had Hot Mess run our wedding night and we feel SO LUCKY we made that choice. It was the most epic night of our lives. They absolutely rocked the tent all night long and made it a night we will never forget. Everything was so easy from the beginning- they have an excellent process and once Jason had the mic we never had to worry about a thing. Not only was the music amazing and they were so talented- Jason also kept things organized all night. They took command of the whole night. Thank you Hot Mess for making it a night we will never forget!

    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!!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Hot mess without a doubt made our wedding the best night ever! Jason and crew know exactly how to get the party started and keep it going all night. Throughout the whole process, they were incredibly responsive, and always wanted to make sure we were having a great experience. The night off, Jason killed it as an MC and the whole ensemble crushed EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. We could not have been happier and highly recommend if you are looking for the best wedding band ever. We love you guys!!!

    The BEST wedding band!

    If you want an absolutely SPECTACULAR wedding band, look no further. Hot Mess was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. Jason, Gail, and the entire Hot Mess team was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They were super accommodating, kind, helpful, and they had endless patience when working with a very distracted bride. :) During the wedding itself, they had all 130 people on the dance floor from start to finish, and everyone had an incredible time. They truly went above and beyond to make our day extra special, such as learning a song in Portuguese and changing into pink outfits halfway through the night. It has been almost 6 months since our wedding, and our guests still can't stop talking about our amazing wedding band! I truly can't recommend Hot Mess enough; they are the whole package and so so much more!! THANK YOU to Hot Mess for making our wedding day the absolute best.

    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. ❤️
