"Thanks so much for the great performance at my daughter's wedding reception this past weekend. Your band was a great hit! I have received many compliments on the band's performance during both the cocktail hour and for dancing after dinner. The full dance floor all night was a great testimony to the band's wonderful performance. You were also very cooperative and great to work with in the planning before the big day. Thanks for helping to make my daughter's wedding reception such a great event!"

"Thank you SO much for the amazing performance at our wedding. The first thing out of our guest’s mouths was “what an amazing band!”. So true! We had the best time because of your talented crew! Again, a million thanks! Couldn’t ask for anything better!"

"Thank you so, so much for everything! You guys were awesome! I already had a call from someone who wanted your name to pass along to a friend who is having a 50th birthday party in Napa – and I told her I couldn’t recommend you more highly. You and the entire band were fantastic!! I think everyone was on the dance floor the entire night – just what we wanted and just what I knew you would provide! Thank you for learning the recessional song and for moving inside and for being so completely accommodating. Amy and Justin had a blast. Paul and I were in heaven."

"We hired Hip Service for out daughter’s wedding in Sun Valley, ID on June 26th, and they were absolutely THE BEST for that reception. Great selection of songs to play during dinner (ballads) at a volume that still allowed guests to talk while eating. Then when it was time to DANCE … Wow! I walked toward the rear of the party tent and discovered that the band had pretty much gotten 99% of the guests out of their chairs and onto the dance floor. And I mean everybody … even some elderly relatives who normally “sit it out” when it’s dance time. They’re high-energy and thoroughly professional performers. They were great about the playlist requests and just a pleasure to deal with. They were well worth the extra cost of the plane tickets to bring them up to a resort location in Idaho."

"Thank you so much for being amazing at our wedding on the 10th. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about you! Our day was absolutely perfect and a lot of that has to do with Hip Service. I will definitely recommend you to all of our engaged friends!"

"Steve, thanks in large part to Hip Service, the wedding was fantastic! I can’t thank you enough for the job you did. Hip Service and their high energy vibe created the perfect wedding party experience. Guests continue to say this was the best band ever. Our expectations were exceeded by leaps and bounds. I would highly recommend Hip Service to any wedding couple."

"My wife’s 60th birthday party was made very special by Hip Service. All of our friends and family could not believe the level of talent and energy that this band brought to the party. The band members added the personal touch not only to my wife but also to our guests. They came off of their stage to the dance floor and sang and danced with the guests, what a great personal touch. It’s been a while since the party ended and my wife is still beaming with the memories of that night, and continues to comment the evening exceeded her wildest expectations. Needless to say, my wife and I would highly recommend Hip Service."

"Having Hip Service play at our wedding was one of the highlights of our big day. From start to finish Hip Service kept everybody on the dance floor with a wide range of music. We danced the whole night! Our guests are still complimenting you guys and saying what fun they had dancing! Thank you so much for your terrific performance!"

"Wow! Thank you all for being a part of our big day. The band was the most important part to us and we definitely chose the best. You all have been absolutely wonderful to work with. Thank you for making this amazing weekend even more special for us."

"Hip Service was incredible… but on top of that I wanted to say thank you for taking care of everything prior to the wedding day! It was so awesome that you and the wedding coordinator took control and I didn’t have to deal with anything on the wedding day. I only wish I could have actually talked to you for more than a quick introduction.Thanks again!"

"Now that the dust has settled I wanted to let you know you and the band did a fabulous job!!!!!!! Everyone had such a great time and all remarked how great the band was! Bravo to you and the group. I know Kevin and Holly had a great time as well. They are still on there honeymoon...can’t wait to hear their comments.I was very excited to tell everyone the band was from Sacramento! After looking at all the bay area bands your band out shined all the bands we listened to. Be proud of what you put together. I look forward to using you again as we have one daughter left to get married. Hopefully she will give us a couple of years."

"On behalf of Vista Del Lago PTSA, I would like to thank you for being a part of our 1st Annual Jeans & Jewels fundraiser. My enthusiasm in chairing this event all stemmed upon Hip Service providing the entertainment. The reason we were able to “sell” this event to over 350 guests was the fact that we told them this would be a FUN event! Thanks to you all, we achieved our goal. All we have heard is how fun our event was and how it was different than typical fundraisers. Hip Service is first class entertainment, and you have a whole new group of fans. THANK YOU for helping us make Jeans & Jewels a success!"

"Thank you! It was indeed a pleasure working with you. Coordinating the gig was about as seamless and easy as any transaction I’ve ever handled. We’ve received so many compliments about Hip Service and how you guys really ensured we got our groove on! Even our CEO commented how fantastic he thought you guys were. So let me just add my sentiment...Hip Service is AWESOME! We will definitely keep you in mind for future events."

"Many thanks to you and Hip Service for a wonderful show last night at the Inaugural Celebration. You all really helped create an event that was both meaningful and entertaining for Kevin Johnson and the audience – I especially loved that you started with Celebration and that it was combined with the confetti and the fireworks. I think last night truly set the stage for a bigger and better Sacramento."

"Thank YOU so much for being a part of our special day. You and the band played the biggest role in making everything fun and come together! I can not tell you how many people are raving about Hip Service. Our photographer emailed us to get your contact information and I know Tehama wants it as well (I’ll get it over to them). Everyone could not stop talking about you guys and it was unanimous that Hip Service was the best band anyone had ever seen at a wedding. Thank you so so so much again and we will continue to talk about you and the band for years and tell all of our friends about you!!!!"

"Wow! What a night! Hip Service was great!! I’ve had lots of wonderful comments. People who usually don’t stay for the dancing did this year!! Applause to you and Hip Service. I think you could tell that we wanted the party to keep going! Thank you again for everything!"

"You guys are the best band to come through here all season! I highly recommend Hip Service for any wedding and I would use you if I was getting married! I would even pay to go to your concerts…that’s how good you are. I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Thank you so much Steve, we had a blast. I had 20 plus phone calls on Saturday asking me ‘WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT AWESOME BAND’. I am still buzzed on all your great music, my friends are still talking about Hip Service and how you made the wedding extra special."

"Western Farm Service is definitely one of your biggest fans! The general feedback I’ve been getting is ‘even better than last year!’ I don’t think they wanted the music to stop. I hear the hotel staff was enjoying your music & entertainment. And even some of the other hotel guests were dancing in the hallway. Hip Service was the perfect way for us to end our three day meeting. Thank you so much for working with me to come to Monterey. Hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful location on Sunday."

"Russell and I just returned from our honeymoon and are inching our way back to reality. We just wanted to thank you tremendously for the party of a lifetime! The music sounded incredible, I think it was obvious that nobody wanted to leave the dance floor all night. So many people from all over the country told us that you were the best band they’ve ever heard. We were so sad that it had to end and wish that we could rewind and do it all over again. Big props on “As” – it sounded fantastic! Thank you also for recommending Doug and Meleva. They were great, and really helped set the tone for the evening. It was great working with you and we hope to see and hear you again- I think we can convince anyone that there is really no other band to have at their wedding but Hip Service!"

"Thank you and thank ‘Hip Service’ for contributing to the success of the Best of Sacramento Party! We heard rave reviews about the entertainment. Everybody said they had a blast!. Sacramento Magazine and the March of Dimes sincerely appreciate you lending your time and talent to the event. Thank you!"

"It was a pleasure working with Hip Service on Samantha and Grant’s wedding. The band knows how to get a party started! Your professionalism and easy going attitude made the wedding amazing. Looking forward to working together in the future."

"We want you to know what a great job you did for us on Sat. at the Resort. Everyone loved your performance and you really know how to get a party going and keep them begging for more when it is over! How many parties still have a full dance floor when the party is over? That is definitely a barometer for a great band! We also appreciate so much your flexibility and understanding in regard to the change in our scheduling due to the fire. We are forever grateful to you for still making our wedding celebration the best that it could be. Thank you, thank you, we can’t wait to hire you again!"

"The vows have been said, the cake has been cut, the guests have all gone home, but the memory of the wonderful evening lives on. How can I even begin to find the right words to thank you and the band for the wonderful repeat performance? It was such a pleasure to work with you again. I have learned to surround myself with professional, competent people and it assures me of a fun carefree evening to enjoy myself, I have certainly done that with you Steve. Since we are now out of daughters please feel free to book another event next June because there will be no more Nylen girls weddings, but I so hope to cross paths with all of you again. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for helping us give such a wonderful memory to our daughter and our new son."

"You were fabulous– We can’t thank you enough– My sister-in-law said the next morning that even if you didn’t have the beautiful decor– that Band would have been enough to make a great party!! I know its hard to balance young- old and in-between but you really were great– There was a period of time that Jordan wanted more DJ– BUT when it was them alone only the kids were out there in a group — once you guys took over you got the crowd going– you made the evening a wonderfully amazing event– your singers were just awesome– I cant wait to have you again— Many many thanks for making our evening such a terrific Party."

"You guys are definitely the best band I have ever heard in the entire Bay Area. I will be proud and happy to recommend your services and will look in the next few days for good shots of you guys performing."

"Thank you! Hip Service was the perfect ending to our banquet and three day meeting! Your music was fantastic–your musicians and singers were fantastic! The music was excellent, the band was entertaining and gave so much energy to our crowd. I have never seen our people, or any other group, enjoy a band so much and react with that much enthusiasm. They obviously didn’t want you to stop. I hope the members of Hip Service could see and feel that. My favorites: you coming down into the crowd playing your guitar and “What a Wonderful World.” I would be happy to give you references, in terms of the music and performance, as well as the professionalism in working with you to plan our event. Thank you also for making the adjustments–changing to an hour of dinner music, and omitting the last break. (I will also try to collect a few comments that I could pass on to you). We have this event on the same weekend every year. Next year, it should fall on January 26. We haven’t selected a location yet. How far would the band be willing to travel and what other arrangements do I need to consider if we are not in Sacramento? Thank you, and please convey to the band what enjoyment their music gave to our group."

"Well, here we are...almost four weeks after our daughter’s wedding reception, and people are still calling me about “That Band’! Comments include,”Best band ever!”, “I never had so much fun dancing in my life”, “Will they come here?”, and “I could listen to them all night!” Even the wedding coordinator told me that everyone working the reception was dancing in the kitchen! Hip Service is an absolutely amazing and professional band. From the wonderfully talented and classy vocalists to the sax solo, you had us mesmerized. I want to thank you for making Cortney and Bryan’s wedding reception an event to truly remember. Everyone had an amazing time and the evening turned into one big celebration from the very first song! Please pass along my heartfelt thanks to the band members. And thank you SO much for allowing my sister to perform with you. It brought the house down! Since she hasn’t performed professionally for years, it was a thrill she will never forget. HipService was everything we were hoping for and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Even a few weeks after my wedding on July 14th, my friends and family are still raving about one thing, above all else. . .the band!! We were all blown away by Hip Service, and on behalf of my parents, my new husband, and myself I want to thank you for performing at our wedding. As you could tell, everyone had an amazing time and the evening quickly turned into one big celebration – which is exactly what we wanted. We all had a blast! Please make sure to pass along my sincere gratitude to all of the band members. They are all so talented, and made the evening special by allowing my friends and family up on the stage, keeping the energy up, and performing their hearts out! Thank you very much."

"Hip Service demonstrated the high energy our organization is accustomed to. They listened to our requests for a nice mix of fast and slow music, communication with the band was very easy they were quick to respond to emails voicemails etc. Many members of our organization have been raving about the performance, and those that missed it were jealous! Thank you again Hip Service!"

"We can’t even begin to thank you and the entire band for the wonderful music we had to enjoy at the wedding…you made it so much fun with the great music selections and the energy that everyone felt coming from the stage…remember that we have one more daughter to marry off, so don’t change a thing…you are the best!!!!!!! I wish I could find the correct words to really express my feelings but your performance was so incredible that it truly left me speechless, and that it isn’t so easy to do!! Thank you again for helping us give our daughter the wedding we had so hoped for. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you."

"Not only were our guests, committee and our management thrilled with your performance for us at our 2005 Spring Gala “Deco and Diamonds”, they were doubly thrilled again, this year!!! It was made very apparent to me that Hip Service “must” appear again! So, May 6, 2006 was another fabulous evening for Easter Seals! As your dancers waited and posed by the dramatic entrance to the ballroom it was made very easy for our guests to feel invited in as the great dance music started to rock the house! It is amazing what a difference one year can make. We had more people dance this year and a great many more people in the room and they stayed til the end of the evening – very unusual for our group. It had to be because of your fantastic vocals, dancers and, specifically, the whole experience! It has been a joy to work with and get to know you, Steve. You have a fabulous band in Hip Service and your agency is wonderful to work with! Continued best of luck and I hope all your clients are as happy as we are to work with you. I would recommend Hip Service, and you, to anyone who wants to listen to me go on and on about your tremendous music and entertainment!"

"Thank you for bringing so many smiles to so many faces. Hip Service was fabulous! I really appreciate your talent and effort to make our Shalom School fundraiser so much fun. Your band rocks!! I look forward to sharing many more parties together. Wishing you all the best."

"You were fabulous! You were outstanding! I loved every person in that band. You were amazing, you were loving, you were fabulous, you were great…what else can I say? You were just perfect. Thank you! And what lovely, lovely people that are in your band. Everyone is raving about you. From my heart to yours – you made me one very happy mother! Thank you."

"Thank you for being a major part of our daughter, Janelle’s, wedding. We’ve been to many L.A. parties and your band outshines them all. We feel very lucky to have found you. Your group has an incredible sound and your enthusiasm rubs off on everyone which makes a party successful. Please keep me informed about events you will be performing so my husband and I can come. My friends and I are always looking for a place to go. Thanks again, we loved you!"

"Jeff and I wanted to thank you guys for an incredible performance at our wedding. We truly had a great time and we received many wonderful compliments on the band. We apologize we got upstairs so late…I don’t know what happened. Nevertheless, thank you all for playing later than planned. It truly was appreciated. Also thank you for learning Let’s get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas..it certainly was a hit! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you guys play in the future!"

"Thank you SO much for making our June 11th wedding so incredible!! You are SUCH a great band — People are still talking about you guys! I was so pleased with your talent and your professionalism. It was a true pleasure to work with you! We loved you! Thanks again."

"What a show you put on at my wedding reception! Everyone is still talking about it. They say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I know it’s because everyone was rockin’ until the very end. Everyone, including myself, was very impressed! I’ve seen your band several times, as you know, and you never fail to exceed my expectations. My family is trying to figure out when we can hire you again! Anyway, you made my night. Everything was well-planned and so much fun! Thank you for being organized and accessable as well. I’ll see you at Harlow’s on the 23rd. I’m bringing the troop with me – we can’t get enough!"

"I can’t begin to tell you what a great job you all did for us on Saturday night, there hasn’t been that many people on the dance floor at one time since we began this charity dinner nine years ago. Since last Saturday, I have received more phone calls telling me what a fabulous time was had and could we please get the band again next year. Thanks very much for providing such wonderful entertainment."

"We were looking for a band that could play real funk music (not the fluffy fake stuff). Hip Service had the whole crowd hooked from the first song. They exceeded even our incredibly high expectations. We are passionate music fans and we go to a lot of weddings all over the country – but I have never heard anything like this before."

"Thank you for doing such an incredible job at our wedding reception. You guys were phenomenal and I know the space was a bit tricky (Maritime Museum, S.F.). Also, Steve, you were very patient with us — thank you!"

"Hello Hip Service! I want to say THANK YOU for your contribution in making this year’s Holiday Party a HUGE success! Our employees had a wonderful time and have not stopped talking about how incredible the music was! You guys are AWESOME!"

"Hip Service was simply fantastic. You are an incredibly talented group of musicians who know how to create an incredible atmosphere. You had everyone dancing from six years old to sixty years old. Most of all, you were amazing to work with from start to finish. You were flexible, responsive and had a great attitude. No request was too small or too large: from the p.a. system for the ceremony to learning a new song for our first dance, you did what you said you would in an extremely professional manner. (By the way, that was a great version of “She’s No Lady”). Everyone we talk to from the wedding says the same thing: ‘We had an incredibly fun time at your wedding and the band was amazing.’ I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Thank you for helping us create a truly special event and thanks for just being great people. You’re definitely the best-kept secret around. We’d hire you again in a second."

"Thank you, Hip Service, for the outstanding show. You have all contributed to the overall success of THINK BIG 2001 SOLANO COUNTY FAIR. What a treat it was to have the group perform. I personally thank you, and I found Hip Service to be a great surprise with a solid performance and great stage production. Hip Service demonstrated outstanding professionalism. Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon at the Solano County Fair."

"Hip Service put on an outstanding show for our Christmas Party. They came out with great energy and a perfect set of music, I highly recommend them for any event and will definitely use them again!"

"Stacey and I just returned from our honeymoon in Hawaii and have said to one another every day since the wedding, ‘Hip Service was fantastic!’ All of our guests continue to rave about you to us as well. We are going to recommend you to all of our friends...we all had a blast!!!"

"Wow! That performance was just awesome! The band is fabulous — you saved the event, just as Chris said. Thanks again for everything and for making the wedding so much fun! Looking forward to working together again soon."

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU for playing such incredible music at our wedding. You are all SO VERY talented and we truly enjoyed ALL of the music you shared with us, our family, and our friends. YOU ROCK!"

"Hip Service — how can I thank you enough? All week I’ve been answering phone calls and cards from guests saying this was the best party ever! You are truly the greatest band in the world. Thank you for making Bill’s 40th B’day party a special night we’ll never forget."

“You guys were great! Our primary goal for the reception was to have people *dance* – and that’s exactly what happened. You sounded awesome (many, many guests commented on the high quality of the sound) and the dancing was a blast. Thank you also for the flexibility with respect to playing one long set. You exceeded our expectations, and helped to make for a great wedding party.”

“HIP SERVICE served up an electrifying performance! The classic soul and dance tunes were fun for everyone – a fantastic addition to BalloonFest at Serrano. The group was professional, detailed and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend HIP SERVICE – but only if you want your event to be a sure-fire success!”

“Once again, thank you for an amazing night. I swear a band can either make or break the night and you guys absolutely made the night. I think you have many new fans! I am getting email from all over, asking, “who was that great band?” I highly recommend Hip Service to any bride who wants her guests to get up and dance!”

“Hip Service absolutely is the BEST group we have ever had and Sacramento is lucky to have you. What a great evening! Let’s re-book for next year. Your professionalism and flexibility is so appreciated. Thank you for everything!”

“On behalf of the Jubilee Committee, I want to take this opportunity to thank Hip Service for their outstanding performance at the Rocklin Jubilee! We received rave reviews about their performance from hundreds of citizens after the Jubilee. We are hopeful that the group will return next year. Hip Service always displayed professionalism and was a pleasure to work with prior to the event, after the event, and most importantly during the event. They went above and beyond to make our entertainment the success that it was!”

“A phenomenal performance for the second year in a row! Our New Year’s Eve at the DoubleTree Hotel was an incredible night thanks to Hip Service, and all of our guests could not stop talking about what a great band you are. What a party! I really appreciate all of your help and support leading up to the event and please pass on my thanks to the entire group.”

“My first experience working with Hip Service was a memorable one. My clients, Robert Mondavi Winery, were ecstatic! It took all of 30 seconds for the band to have the entire dance floor full, and that’s the way it stayed for the rest of the evening. The group was punctual, easy to work with, and their sound system was great. I would highly recommend Hip Service and plan on using them in the future.”

“Thank you, Hip Service, for making our Holiday Gala such a memorable evening. We were so excited to have Hip Service this year and everyone is still talking about it. The dinner music was perfect, and once the dancing started, they couldn’t stop. Nobody wanted to go home!”

“From the website and demo tapes, I assumed that Hip Service would be pretty darn good...in fact you were AWESOME! I am still having people ask me ‘Where did you find that band?!’ Everyone is telling us that our wedding was the best they have ever been to...in large part because Hip Service. We were so glad that we had you play for us and hope to get you back down here for a party sometime next year.”

“We had heard great things about Hip Service, but you far exceeded our expectations. You blew the roof off the house! Thank you for a great concert and we are hoping you will come back next year.”

“Their performance was superb! Audience reaction — WOW! Excellent song selection! Terrific vocals! Musicianship and professionalism are top notch. The only thing wrong was that we couldn’t listen longer! Your time on stage was just too short. Hip Service rules!”

“The best band we have had around here in a long time! A great group and very easy to work with … Would love to have Hip Service come back soon!”

“We chose Hip Service for our wedding reception because we hoped your music would compel ALL of our guests to get up and dance. In fact, everyone not only danced the whole night but also did not want to stop dancing when the end of the reception approached! Thanks Hip Service for helping make our wedding day as much fun for everyone as we hoped it would be! When our guests have shared their impressions of our wedding day they always compliment the ‘incredible band.’ Thanks also for helping emcee our wedding! Your professionalism definitely helped us have an amazing time at our own wedding!”

“Hip Service was everything we hoped for. You guys were a breath of fresh air as we faced difficult logistical challenges. Very impressed with your flexibility and professionalism …”

“Your selection of music was perfect and kept the dance floor filled to capacity all night long. Everyone just loved the show. Let’s re-book now for next year!”

“Thank you, Hip Service! You made our holiday benefit a spectacular success. Your upbeat funky sound kept our guests happy, dancing, and donating!”

“They are so great! I got married last month and I wish I had hired them!”

“Hip Service was fantastic and created an exciting and fun-filled atmosphere, tailored to the occasion. What a great sound! The audience loved having the band … and it made the occasion very special.”

“Hip Service was fantastic! What a “Rockin’ Fourth of July!”

“Outstanding vocals! Highly professional … Hip Service is the best group we’ve had here in a long time.”

“Thank you for all your work and talent which helped make our 9th annual Black Tie and Tennies better than ever! Everyone has been talking about how they loved the band. Lets rebook for next year!”

“HIP SERVICE made this year’s International Technology Conference extra memorable. This is our single most important event of the year, and everyone had such a good time on the last night of the conference. Caesar’s Tahoe was rockin’! Let’s re-book now for next year’s conference!”

“Thank you for making our last night of the Roseville Tuesday Night series a huge success! Everyone loved your music. We have had a lot of bands play here, and Hip Service is beyond compare."

“Continued success! You guys are definitely happening… all the greatest music the way it was meant to be played. What a great sound!”
