Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands. Owned and operated by a tight-knit community of musicians, they are known for their attention to every musical detail and the professionalism they bring to every event. Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

“The Hook Club is the best wedding band there is. If you have a chance to book them, don't hesitate and consider yourself lucky because I can assure you that not only will you have an incredible time, but also Dan, the band manager, will make the preparation feel so seamless. Dan and The Hook Club stuck with us for nearly three years when COVID delayed our original wedding plans. They remained actively in touch with us to reassure us and keep us organized even as we dealt with new challenges or life events. After we first got in touch with them, they invited us to a band showcase so we could see them on display and I will tell you, we were just blown away from the start. Choosing The Hook Club was a no brainer. Each of the lead singers has a vibrant, beautiful. The band members collectively have a great vibe and they clearly love working together. They hype each other up and it goes a long way in the experience of their performance. With regards to logistics, they have a very simple music planning worksheet that makes it very clear and easy to communicate exactly what kind of music you'd like to hear at your wedding. Dan also worked together with our ceremony musicians to work out details about sound equipment and we never had to worry about a thing. After a few simple questions about the different phases of the reception, they MCed everything flawlessly and really fed off the vibe of the room. Everything came together perfectly at our wedding reception and we had guests from all ages and styles telling us how much they love The Hook Club. We felt like we were at an amazing, private concert at our wedding reception. They even vibed and riffed with our guests when they sang impromptu and meaningful among themselves. The Hook Club is a talented, thoughtful group of music professionals and we can’t recommend them highly enough!”

If that was not enough, he also DJs! He also has various equipment that you can rent for very reasonable fee - wireless mic, speakers, etc. Leading up to the event, he was great with the planning. His booking process was very organized and clear. He was flexible allowing us to submit any playlists and/or songs that we wanted and even familiarized himself with the songs beforehand. Our wedding day schedule was very complicated, but he did not miss a beat!! Because he was on top of the timing, our day was able to run smoothly and on time. He cued everything right on time and worked closely with our wedding coordinator to remain flexible throughout the day/night. His cello performance was... amazing. Our guest loved his set and were thoroughly entertained. His DJing was equally on par. He was able to read the crowd and kept them dancing all night. He accommodated song requests from our guests too. All in all, I could not be more grateful that we had him there on our special day. He made it magical and easy with his professionalism and talent. Highly recommended!!”

His network of musicians allowed him to resolve a major issue. My husband and I were happy that our contract was respected. On top of that, the energy of the band was amazing on stage. We were so happy that our guests were all on the dance floor. I never sweat so much on a dance floor.”
