Best wedding band!

Phat Hat was the perfect wedding band in every way! Extremely communicative and talented, offering a range of song options, and being very engaging to our guests for the entire night. We received nothing but compliments from our guests about Phat Hat, many wanting to know the band’s name and how we found them! The dance floor was full most of the night — we couldn’t have asked for more!

Played at our daughter’s wedding reception and the dance floor was always filled!!

Rick is so easy to work with when planning an event. He lays everything out so there are no last minute surprises. The band plays great music and the evening flew by!! Our second time to use them and would gladly do it again!!

Beyond Amazing

Wish we could give a higher rating than 5 stars. Phat hat performed for our wedding and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. They helped everyone have a great time and were easy to work with throughout the whole process. They were communicative and responsive for everyone leading up til the big day. Thanks again so much for all y'all have done.

While some bands shy away from endorsing other bands often because of the stigma of competition. However when it comes to Phat Hat the only emotion that I have is of admiration and respect for what they do. They are one of the few bands that we refer business to. Why? Because I know that Rick and the rest of the band will exceed expectations and set the bar in terms of professionalism
