If I could hire the Hook Club for every party I would! They are THE BEST band and can play the biggest range of music. Each member of the band is so versatile with their vocal and instrumental skills - it's seriously so impressive. They made my wedding day so special - from playing all of our special requests to dancing with the guests, the vibes were immaculate! We got the 8-piece band and the planning process was so smooth.

Marcus did such amazing work for our big day! The flow of the evening from top to bottom was sheer perfection and we could not have been happier with how it all went.

We cant stop talking about it! We highly recommend Marcus for an unforgettable experience!

We had Lucas DJ our wedding in Holbox recently. It was originally scheduled for March of 2020, but we had to cancel and move to Jan 2022. He was a true professional and so wonderful! He made himself available for our new date and didn’t even change his rate (even though he very well could have and all our other vendors did). At the wedding, he was incredible and created the most amazing vibe on the dance floor! The most common comment of the night from everyone, including myself: “I have had to pee for hours but don’t want to leave and miss a song!” He also made the most beautiful remixes of Persian dance numbers and other bangers (I am Iranian and my husband is Irish Catholic). Every single guest was on the dance floor for every single minute. On a personal note, he is also just an awesome and nice person. The best money spent for our entire wedding. I can’t recommend him enough and hope to hire him for every party we ever have!

Chantal Music NYC are the colors to a blank canvas. Carla Fabiani and her team transform your special day into a magical moment, and a memory that will last forever. I highly recommend Chantal Music NYC. I hired them to play at my sister’s wedding, it was everything she dreamt of and more. It was a true pleasure to work with such extreme professionals, and very much a collaborative experience. You are provided with an extensive list of songs to choose from plus one custom song of your choice. No matter which musician you choose they are all incredibly talented and diverse and can play anything you request for your special occasion. My sister had a vision for her custom song and we provided Carla with the inspiration and from there she beautifully created a new score, which was divine. My sister chose the Violin & Guitar duo to bring it all to life. It truly was a magical dream come true.

It’s been almost a month since my wedding and all anyone can talk about (still!!!) is this band! They were fantastic, high energy, talented beyond measure and knew how to play to their audience. I’m so happy I found them. They were reasonable price compared to other bands we looked at also. Our manager, Hannah, was fantastic with coordination and hearing me out on all of my song requests. 12/10 would definitely contract with again!

THE JON BATES BAND is an amazing dance-oriented “party band” that always gets folks dancing, feeling good and celebrating the occasion! THE JON BATES BAND is a "destination event band". They have literally performed all over the globe, providing an arsenal of abundantly talented musicians and vocalists, who perform an extensive repertoire of popular music in all styles and genres. They have the professionalism and touring experience required to offer clients the highest quality entertainment options on every level, and they have shared stages with some of the most legendary performers on the planet! - find more info at www.JonBatesBand.com

We saw the Jon Bates Band perform at our friends' wedding in Vermont a number of years ago. My now-husband and I knew (before we were even engaged!) that we wanted these guys to play our wedding, should we get to that point together. Fortunately, they travel all over and were happy to come to Delaware for our 10/5/2019 wedding. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and they were completely open to working with us on our song list and catering to what we really love most. Their rendition of our first dance song was spot-on to what we hoped it would be. They played a consistently strong set all night and had everyone - and I mean everyone! - up and dancing. I can honestly say that it could not have gone better, nor could we have enjoyed it more. I highly recommend this group of talented musicians.
