TESTIMONIALS

The Hot Hats played at our wedding reception in Falmouth – June 2018, and we could not have been happier about the show! We were really struggling to find a band that would do the whole package of music / lights / speakers and DJ set for the evening, combined with requests for a particular mix of 70’s rock through to recent stuff – and the Hot Hats did it perfectly. The style really suited the more laid back summer wedding vibe of Falmouth, but at the same time put on a fun party for the evening that kept people on the dance floor for a good few hours. We were worried that an acoustic set may not have had the impact we we after but we needn’t have worried, the sound was great. Lots of laughter and banter thrown into the mix too and they really connected with the wedding party. I was able to leave these guys to it while I concentrated on the events of the day and they were prompt and ready to go as agreed so had nothing to worry about. Would absolutely recommend the Hot Hats, thank you.

Thank you for making our wedding reception so memorable. Without exception all our guests thought you were amazing. We struck gold finding you. Totally fitted in with our chilled out, intimate wedding, good-time atmosphere. In fact added so much to it. Thanks for fulfilling all our requests and for completely exceeding all our expectations. Favourite moments have to be Sweet Child o Mine and Sit Down. Thankfully you weren’t put off by our over enthusiastic “singing” and “dancing”! An all round very capable, dynamic and very friendly wedding duo who managed to cope with our rather chaotic celebrations. Our only disappointment was that it all had to end! I’ve never known an acoustic wedding band have to do an encore before. You’re lucky the guests actually let you leave! We’ll definitely be hoping to see you again soon. Thanks again.

We got married at Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, and we only had a small reception an intimate wedding of about 34. The Hot Hats were fabulous – they played all our kinds of music (and were very flexible too), and created such a brilliant atmosphere. They got everyone dancing and singing, including my dad and friend on the mic to their own version of Waterloo Sunset! They even took some requests on the night. I would hire these wedding musicians again for any kind of event, big or small.

We first met Alfie when we were on our way back from the church to our wedding reception … We saw a man suited up and wearing a hat running past our horse and carriage .. calling out to us that he thought his band were playing at our wedding but that they were lost (due to the sign of the manor house not being visible)….. they followed us the rest of the way! Fab band, fab guys … All our guests loved them .. great music and really friendly .. we would highly recommend the Hot Hats without a second thought! Really down to earth and lovely people .. perfect for our intimate wedding reception. Another big thank you from us both.

Planning a wedding is really complicated and there are so many hard decisions, so let’s make this an easy one – just book the Hot Hats! Alfie and the team are absolutely phenomenal, if you want a fun acoustic duo who’ll draw people to the floor or get spontaneous dancing at the bar, these really are your guys. Their choice of music was brilliant and had the full range to suit everyone, all played perfectly.

I’ve seen a number of duos at weddings and whilst many are great musicians, many can be quite sterile, getting up, doing their thing and leaving – the Hot Hats most definite aren’t. They are super-friendly and the audience engagement is amazing, I spent as much time laughing along with them as I did dancing and they expertly wield that engagement to draw people into the party. Having perfectly read the room, they led us into the perfect night of entertainment!

The engagement with Alfie beforehand was brilliant and he made the whole process really straightforward and the day itself also couldn’t have been easier – the Hot Hats turned up early, sorted everything with the venue and even stepped in when we forgot to announce we were cutting the cake! They handle everything musical, they come with some great kit and even run DJ sessions between their sets so you get the full musical package.

So save yourself some party-planning time and just go for them – you really won’t regret it!
