Hey Jimmy! Had Over 200 People Dancing All Night!!!

Holy cow! That sums up Hey Jimmy! about as well as we can without using words I shouldn’t in an online review.

We booked Hey Jimmy! to play for our wedding reception and to have an acoustic group for our cocktail hour. They did both phenomenally. Guests felt welcome and invited as they arrived because Hey Jimmy! was there to greet them. And they sounded amazing.

Perhaps the biggest endorsement we can give Hey Jimmy! is that they kept over 200 (out of 250) people on the dance floor all night long. Almost as soon as Hey Jimmy! started playing around 7:00, everyone got onto the dance floor. The size of the group on the dance floor never went down, and we extended to get them to play even longer, lasting until 11:30. The groom was dancing the whole night, and he normally hates dancing! And there were so many people dancing at once that the dance floor was vibrating drinks off nearby tables.

Hey Jimmy! was able to make our party so much fun because they sounded so incredibly good and were so engaging. They mixed their sound so well that their music sounded better than any recording a DJ could have played. And because they had both a male and female vocalist, they could and did play nearly any party song imaginable. We also gave them little direction on what kind of music we wanted played, and they consistently picked the right song for the right moment. Last but not least, they were open to and excited about incorporating all of the personal touches we wanted to include along the way; they even let our cousin play DJ during a break.

Hey Jimmy! is incredible, and I will recommend them to anyone and everyone that asks who they should book as a wedding band.

Hey Jimmy Made Our Wedding Special

From planning to performance, Hey Jimmy really shines. We had some very specific requests that they not only accommodated, but went beyond our expectations. With their energetic performance the dance floor was packed from start to finish. Our guests gave us a lot of great feedback about how great the band was as well as requests for their contact info which is the best compliment.

Great Time All Around

Hey Jimmy did a wonderful job with our wedding. We had a Jazz Trio during cocktail hour which was beautiful. Once dancing began Hey Jimmy did a great job knowing exactly what to play and the dance floor was always bumping.
Hey Jimmy was fun too as they didnt even mind our rowdy guests that wamted to dance on stage with them at times. I would reccomend them to anyone who wants their wedding to be a great time!
