James-
First off, you guys were phenomenal. I knew you would be, but The Hip Pocket kicked butt. I literally had 20-25 people come up to me and tell me that the band was fantastic, and that it was the best entertainment they’ve ever had at a wedding. I wish I could have danced more, but I was trying to manage the event, too.
Our day was darn near perfect, and you guys helped make it that way. Please pass along our thanks to all the band members. Great musicians and a great group of people.
Lastly, thanks for playing (and singing) the Otis Redding song for the father/daughter dance. It’s not often you can have a moment like that. I will keep you guys in mind if/when my youngest gets married. Just don’t disband before that!
Best regards,
Steve

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for making our wedding day such an amazing experience from start to finish!
We had such a wonderful day and can’t thank you enough for your hard work and professionalism. I can honestly say that not a single thing went wrong – minus a few sprinkles in the afternoon. When this all began, I started piecing everything together and had hoped that it would work itself out to be a nice day/evening. I never imagined that I would have so many people commenting on how it was the best wedding that they had been to in years. I give that credit to you. From the special ceremony to the crazy good food to the beautiful flowers to the amazing music, people were happy, laughing and dancing until midnight….and wanting more! That’s my dream come true.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Our love and appreciation to you all.

Dear Phil,
Thank you and please thank the band for a wonderful, dancing evening. We received many compliments from our guests of how much they enjoyed the band. You sounded great, were very professional, easy to dance to, and the volume was just right. We feel so lucky that you were apart of this event!
Sincerely,
Barb Sink
Heard a cut from your new CD on WYCE (thank you, internet radio!) and it blew me away! We’ve GOT to get ya’ll over to the Twin Cities for some gigs. I’m gonna spread the word!

We just wanted to thank you for the OUTSTANDING job you did at our wedding! We had a blast dancing the night away and enjoyed watching friends and family who never get up and dance out there on the dance floor strutting their stuff. All post-wedding discussions with our friends and family have included tons of praise for The Hip Pocket. Thanks again and we hope to see you perform soon.
