“We knew immediately that Diego would be the perfect DJ for our wedding day. From the very beginning, he was super communicative and responsive. Diego left no stone unturned when making efforts to get to know us and to understand our vision. The music, in all aspects of our wedding day, was really important to us, and Diego made sure that our vision came to life! He was patient, detail oriented, and a phenomenal listener. Diego ensured we kept in communication leading up to our big day. Then, the magic happened! Diego was essential in adding to the magic of our day and all things DJ related were flawless. He delivered on everything we asked for and more! Our favorite thing about Diego, aside from his warm personality, is that he read the room constantly throughout our wedding and made sure the music beautifully enhanced each part of the day. Our favorite part of our wedding day was being on the dance floor with our family and friends. Diego knew exactly what to play to keep the party going and get absolutely everyone onto the dance floor, including himself to get our crowd moving! Its 6 years later and our guests still talk about how much fun our reception was. We highly recommend Diego and are super grateful we were able to experience his talent first hand! Thank you, Diego! You are most definitely part of our most magical memory to date.”

The Hook Club

5.0

New York, NY

Band or Ensemble
Starts at $3,500
Serves Kamuela, HI for additional fees

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!

“DO NOT HESITATE to book The Hook Club! Words cannot express how incredible their performance was... you had to be there. We had many musicians in the crowd who were blown away with the talent on the stage. Not only did they display excellent musicianship, but their energy was unparalleled. They got the crowd on their feet over and over again, myself and my blisters included. The main singers came out into the dance floor during the bangers, which our guests loved. Each singer had a repertoire that perfectly suited their talents, and we loved how they exploited that. It was really fun to see them indulging in off-the-charts vocalizing. (And also rapping that had me shook!) We truly felt like they were having as great a time as we were. Jesse served as an excellent MC, introducing our toasts in a humorous and timely manner. Our communication was great, including on the spot decisions (we asked for an extra 15 minute break during dinner, because when they were playing, no one could stop dancing!). Jesse was calm, professional, and light-hearted. I was very impressed by how he carried himself. The planning process we used was thorough and simple, including only two zoom meetings. The Hook Club has tons of songs to choose from, and can probably learn anything you throw their way. Another huge bonus of The Hook Club is that they have so many members, so they can cobble a group together that best suits your desires. Again, I cannot recommend this group highly enough. I feel like they truly made the night, and we are indebted to them! Many guests said it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding! Hiring this group might have been our best investment of the night. Props and endless thanks to everyone who tried so hard for us.”

“We did the trio for our wedding and OMG they crushed it! We had Aaron as our main DJ/sax along with trombone and drums and to say our dance floor was never empty was an understatement. They played banger after banger it was so hard to take a seat to rest. The live music aspect was absolutely insane and our guests were raving about them the entire time. 10/10 recommend. One thing to note is it's incredibly difficult to 'hear' the quality from online videos you find, but I guarantee, you won't be disappointed.”
