We will be a fan of this band for the rest of our lives. Working with The Hook Club was incredible. From our initial call, we knew this was our wedding band. We were very specific on wanting to book the band we saw in their YouTube and social media posts. The band is extremely talented and had an incredible list of songs to choose from. The Hook Club also allowed us to request a hand full of song that were not on their regular set list and they delivered. No on left the dance floor the entire evening. We can not recommend this band enough to everyone. Besides my wife, booking The Hook Club was the best decision we (I) made for our special day.

When we first started planning our wedding we knew we wanted to mix live music in with our dj. I did a lot of research and found Erica on Instagram. Immediately on our consultation call she made us feel comfortable and like we could be friends in real life. It was a yes! Fast forward to week-of and she went above and beyond, playing exactly what we discussed and just really adding to our overall vibe and event. She has a gorgeous voice and overall is so talented. Our guests LOVED her. We received so many compliments. She played from guest arrivals through cocktail hour. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Joey played the cello at our Chinese wedding banquet and did a spectacular job! He played a mix of classics and pop covers, did both live performances and some DJ-ing. He wowed me and my husband as well as all our guests. Additionally he set up the sound system, speakers, and mics - everything worked seamlessly. He was great at communicating and so easy to work with. We had to reschedule due to COVID (the week of!) and he was kind, incredibly understanding, and flexible when we were stressed out. He has both style and impeccable professionalism. Would recommend him and his original music as well in a heartbeat! He made our wedding so special and is an extraordinary talent.

One thing about me, I’m going to leave a review! Having officiated several weddings over the years, I've witnessed a myriad of bands take the stage, but this particular band stands out. Living Jade’s remarkable blend of professionalism, talent, and passion elevated the atmosphere of the entire ceremony and reception. It’s refreshing to have musicians who understand volume control during the ceremony. I could actually hear myself think and I didn’t have to compete with their playing when moving the service along. Their ability to read the crowd, catering to both young and old, ensured the dance floor was never empty. The soulful melodies during the vows brought tears to many, and their vibrant tunes during the reception brought uncontainable joy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple seeking a musical experience that resonates long after the last note. Exceptional in every sense!

Through faith and hard work, Maui born local sensation Derick Sebastian continues to live his dream as an accomplished international ‘ukulele virtuoso. He's shared the stage with singer/songwriter pop star Jason Mraz, the melodic Raining Jane, powerhouse Trombone Shorty, country star icons Thompson Square and Sara Evans, and R&B sensations, Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight, and a highlighted private performance and ukulele lesson with Oprah Winfrey. Derick also has notable performances at many major sporting events and toured full-fledged around the globe, continuing his dedication to inspire lives through his music.

What can we say other than we absolutely love Derick! He is the best! We eloped due to Covid, and then about nine months later we did our family and friends ceremony. Derick graciously officiated both ceremonies, and 100% customized his officiating to fit our wants. His personality and presentation shine as he is a natural, sincere, and engaging. Then, there are his musical talents he incorporates into the ceremonies as an option as well. Simply said, he is hands-down the best at what he does with the ukulele! Derick is now part of the family as far as we're concerned! He's the best!
