Private Party•Reviewed on September 4, 2019•From Long Island City, NY
The band were really great- the musicians were fantastic and our guests loved them. However, communication with the band leader was poor throughout. I secured HHB many months ago, but a week prior to the wedding, Kevin tried to breach our contract by telling me he was finding it difficult to secure musicians for our party and he'd have to supply 4 musicians - rather than the 5 I paid for. The musicians should have been secured a long time ago. He then told me I was not paying enough, even though we had a signed contract. After the wedding, he wanted me to send payment via PayPal or Venmo (not Gigmasters), and now he's saying I haven't paid enough due to PayPal fees.

Sorry that you feel this way and felt the need to retaliate with this vindictive and harmful review. We are a very small operation and this is our very first booking with GM. I’ve done hundreds a of private party and I’ve *never* had so much difficulty with a client. The timing changes, several edits to the contract, and the lateness with the pay after services rendered, etc. I have no idea how GM takes care of the remainder of the balances; all I know is that yours was *late* and I had to email you several times to get paid. Wish I could turn back the clock and never accepted this gig as it caused so much more harm and stress than I could have ever anticipated

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 19, 2019•From Skaneateles, NY
These guys made our wedding a night to remember. Cannot say enough great things! They had everyone on the dance floor from age 24 to 94. Kevin was so easy to work and plan with. They drove all the way from BK to Syracuse NY for us. If you want New Orleans funk in the northeast look no further. We even had a parade through the venue and they joined in on the dance floor for their last song! They played for our recessional, cocktail hour, and a set for the party. High energy and great music to move to - thank you hot hand band!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 12, 2019•From New York City, NY
Guys showed up, set up, and blew the doors off the place! We were celebrating our restaurant's 3rd Anniversary and hired the Hot Hand Brass Band to play our NOLA themed celebration in East Harlem. We will definitely use them again. They were great! I have nothing but good things to say: they played to the space, the played to the crowd, they played just the right solos and favorites. Everybody was great on their instruments and the tap dancer added an extra special dynamic. We had the whole neighborhood wandering over to listen & dance on the street. Highly recommend.

These guys were great! Very accomodating and they had great suggestions with regards to helping us achieve the effect that we wanted. It was the most talked about and best part of our party.
