If you're looking for a sign to book DJ Bob Greel for your next event, THIS IS IT! He went above and beyond for us at our wedding. He was present throughout the planning process and truly listened to us to capture the vibe we were going for. He made it a point to practice the pronunciations of our names, and as people with commonly mispronounced names, this made us happy. We had an incident involving one of our elder guests and he handled everything with grace and allowed the event to flow seamlessly (once everyone was confirmed to be okay!).
Our guests had a blast at our reception, and that was all thanks to Bob and Music Management. From booking to payment to logistics, Stu and Music Management were professional and easy to work with and really made us feel special. Cannot sing their praises loud enough!

We planned our wedding during COVID, so we didn't have a chance to hear HiFi before booking them. I listened to the demo, which was good, but I was a bit nervous because I feel like demos always sound good. We were blown away by Chantal and the whole HiFi band. They were even better than the demo and absolutely ROCKED the house! We had a small wedding (60 people), but the dance floor was full as they had everyone dancing. Everyone kept asking who the band was and our venue that has a lot of high profile bands said HiFi was the best that have ever played there.

The Hip Pocket Orchestra absolutely made our wedding. They were so accommodating and were true professionals. The videos online don't show justice to just how incredible they sound. Stuart took the time and effort to make sure we had the best Wedding reception ever! Would recommend them for any event!

I booked HiFi band through Music Management pre pandemic for our September 2020 wedding. Stu and Chantal were so easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions. When it became clearer that our wedding plans would have to change, we shifted to a small, outdoor ceremony and dinner. Music Management and Hifi did a fabulous job of readjusting their plans to meet our needs. They created a fun, relaxed, celebratory vibe (while following covid protocol) that I will always remember. While so much of our plans had to change, Stu ensured that we still got everything we wanted and for that I am so grateful. Our guests raved about the band and everyone had a night to remember!

Hip Pocket Orchestra was everything I could have asked for and more at our wedding! To me the band was one of the most important bookings and I made sure to book them immediately once I had venue and date set! Before we were even announced into the reception I could see the dance floor packed and everyone ready to party! It was one of the best sights! Working with them beforehand too was a true pleasure and stress free. They went above and beyond my expectations with everything! I would truly recommend them to everyone! Best night EVER!

We sincerely look forward to working with them again in the future, and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for an white glove service and the BEST bands.

Hip Pocket Orchestra was absolutely incredible at our wedding. We met with Stuart in advance and shared our hopes and preferences and the band created an evening exactly as we hoped - From the beginning Stuart said his goal was to create an evening that was perfect for us and our guests - and the band absolutely exceeded ALL of our hopes and expectations. They read the room perfectly - and filed the entire night with energy and excitement.
The musicians and singers were absolutely incredible and we felt like they were celebrating along with all of us. Nobody could get themselves off the dance floor at any point - it was just too much fun! We couldn't recommend Stuart and the Hip Pocket team enough - they helped make our night the best night of our lives!
