We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!

I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

Chad understood the assignment! We were drawn to Chad because he also enjoys country music, appreciates the oldies, and knows how to jam like it’s 2010. Chad is high energy and he was a great MC all night. He perfectly timed all of our ceremony music, including a high energy moment for our flower dude! He introduced us with much enthusiasm and kept the party flowing all night. He perfectly incorporated our “must play” songs - during cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing - and he respected the sweetness of our special first dances. We truly enjoyed working with Chad and would recommend him to any couple looking for the hottest wedding day playlist!

We were working with the Metropolitan Players for over 3 years for our wedding. They were so easy to work with and were completely understanding when we postponed our wedding multiple times because of Covid. They were so easy to work with before and during the wedding. They worked with us through every step of the process and were able to adjust with us through the night. Also, they are an AMAZING band! Kept the party alive and had everyone dancing throughout the night even people who we know normally don't dance. All of our guests kept asking us where did we find them and how amazing they were. If you are looking for a band, book The Metropolitan Players as they were the easiest, most organized, and friendliest to work with throughout the craziness of wedding planning, you won't regret it.

Tyson was clearly the right pick for us from the moment we interviewed him. An undeniable professional talking about his work. He was modest but still reassuring. His pre-event form was helpful, and he took the time to go over it with us clearly and thoroughly before our big day. He gave advice but gently, without pressuring us away from our instincts about what our people would respond to. Day of, he came technologically prepared. Setup was great. His work on the mic was sparse—but perfect. And his song selections were just spot-frigging-on. A dozen people at our wedding have asked us about him. We love Tyson. Thank you forever!!!
