Simply book the Hot Hats!

Planning a wedding is really complicated and there are so many hard decisions, so let’s make this an easy one - just book the Hot Hats! Alfie and the team are absolutely phenomenal, if you want a fun acoustic duo who’ll draw people to the floor or get spontaneous dancing at the bar, these really are your guys. Their choice of music was brilliant and had the full range to suit everyone, all played perfectly. I’ve seen a number of duos at weddings and whilst many are great musicians, many can be quite sterile, getting up, doing their thing and leaving - the Hot Hats most definite aren’t. They are super-friendly and the audience engagement is amazing, I spent as much time laughing along with them as I did dancing and they expertly wield that engagement to draw people into the party. Having perfectly read the room, they led us into the perfect night of entertainment! The engagement with Alfie beforehand was brilliant and he made the whole process really straightforward and the day itself also couldn’t have been easier - the Hot Hats turned up early, sorted everything with the venue and even stepped in when we forgot to announce we were cutting the cake! They handle everything musical, they come with some great kit and even run DJ sessions between their sets so you get the full musical package. So save yourself some party-planning time and just go for them - you really won’t regret it!

Combe Lodge Wedding

We can't thank the Hot Hats enough, particularly Alfie, for being such a fun band. They played three fantastic and diverse sets, and also provided a great DJ service filled with all of our requests and more. You offer something for everyone, and as well as being a brilliant wedding band, you were amazing guests too! All of our guests said they thought you were great and both the live and DJ music was excellent. We don't plan on getting married again, but if we did - you'd be the first band we call! Glad you had a great time and thank you for being a part of our special day! Regards, Mr and Mrs Biddlestone :)

Intimate Wedding Party

We booked Hot Hats to play at our wedding in November 2017. We got married at a small venue and so their 2 person band was perfect. They were highly professional and helped to create the fun and relaxed atmosphere we wanted and were very flexible around our timings for the day. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone to play at their wedding.

Stately Home Wedding

We found The Hot Hats online after changing our mind about our previous band fairly last minute 6 weeks before the wedding! When we found them we were thrilled with the set lists and knew they would be perfect. Communication was brilliant in the lead up and on the day. Everyone commented on how amazing they were and the dance floor was full, we are so pleased we found them! Thank you for playing such a fantastic part in our day!

Seaside Wedding

We found Hot Hats online and immediately loved what we heard and was so pleased after contacting Alfie who confirmed they would be available to pay at our wedding reception at the Yenton Hotel Bournemouth. We loved their varied set list and the fact that they played some of our favourite songs. The communication leading up to the day was friendly and very responsive and they were happy to play all our favourite songs between sets too. When it came to the day, Hot Hats were superb and even better than we could have imagined. Loads of guests commented on how amazing they were and they were great at getting the crowd involved; it was hard to get me (Vikki) off the dance floor! We had Brown Eyed Girl as our first dance which was lovely and we want to say a huge thank you for making our day so special. Can't recommend these guys enough!

Village Hall Wedding

We booked Alfie's Hot Hats for our wedding on 22nd July, his communication and understanding in the planning of the day was amazing. We arrived at our reception to hear them playing and as I walked into the room I was greeted with the warmest smiles. They played throughout our wedding breakfast in an adjoining room as back ground music, it was perfect. Later they moved to our main hall and set up for the evening do. They were so much fun and even allowed one of our friends to do her silly parton impression and found the backing track for her, such fun. They then sang here comes the so for our first dance 💖 They were having fun with the guests and interacting with me loads, encouraging me to spin on the dance floor (which by all accounts apparently I was very good at 😂🤢) and was flexible to our needs. Would highly recommend The Hot Hats and if I ever had another party they'd be hired. Thanks again Alfie, you guys made our day xxx

Festival Themed Wedding

The Hot Hats were one of two bands that played our "festival-themed" Wedding celebration at the Winterbourne Medieval Barn (Bristol) last Saturday (1/7/17). The guys played four sets overall and were simply outstanding, everyone had a great time. Their musicianship and showmanship were faultless and they know certainly how to work a crowd. More importantly Alfie and Russ are really nice guys, who were happy to adapt their show to fit in with the several restrictions imposed by the venue. A truly professional outfit, I simply can't recommend The Hot Hats enough for any party! Thanks again guys! Although...maybe include your warm-up Metallica songs in the set next time?
