“THE BAY AREA’S
TOP PICK FOR BEST WEDDING BAND” San Francisco Magazine, June 2005 “THERE
AIN’T NO PARTY LIKE A HIP SERVICE PARTY!” |
|
"Thank you so much Steve, we had a blast. I had 20 plus phone calls on
Saturday asking me 'WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT AWESOME BAND'. I am still buzzed on all your great music, my friends are still talking about Hip
Service and how you made the wedding extra special." Tim Kooyman, father of the bride June, 2008 |
|
"Hi Steve: Western Farm Service is definitely one of your biggest fans! The general feedback I've been getting is 'even better than last year!' I don't think they wanted the music to stop. I hear the hotel staff was enjoying your music & entertainment. And even some of the other hotel guests were dancing in the hallway. Hip Service was the perfect way for us to end our three day meeting. Thank you so much for working with me to come to Monterey. Hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful location on Sunday. Best regards, Debbi" Debra Hatanaka Western Farm Service - Central Valley Division Jan, 2008 |

"Steve, Thank you and thank 'Hip Service' for contributing to the success of the Best of Sacramento Party! We heard rave reviews about the entertainment. Everybody said they had a blast!. Sacramento Magazine and the March of Dimes sincerely appreciate you lending your time and talent to the event. Thank you!" Natalie Paulsen Director of Marketing Sacramento Magazine November 2007 |

"Hi Steve, Russell and I just returned from our honeymoon and are inching our way back to reality. We just wanted to thank you tremendously for the party of a lifetime! The music sounded incredible, I think it was obvious that nobody wanted to leave the dance floor all night. So many people from all over the country told us that you were the best band they've ever heard. We were so sad that it had to end and wish that we could rewind and do it all over again. Big props on "As" - it sounded fantastic! Thank you also for recommending Doug and Meleva. They were great, and really helped set the tone for the evening. It was great working with you and we hope to see and hear you again- I think we can convince anyone that there is really no other band to have at their wedding but Hip Service! Best, Jaclyn and Russell" Napa, CA September 2007 |

"Dear Steve, It was a pleasure working with Hip Service on Samantha and Grant’s wedding. The band knows how to get a party started! Your professionalism and easy going attitude made the wedding amazing. Looking forward to working together in the future. Sincerely, Jessica & Kerry" Blue Sky Events www.blueskyevents.biz Lake Tahoe, CA August 2007 |

"Hi Steve and the Hip Service Band, We want you to know what a great job you did for us on Sat. at the Resort. Everyone loved your performance and you really know how to get a party going and keep them begging for more when it is over! How many parties still have a full dance floor when the party is over? That is definitely a barometer for a great band! We also appreciate so much your flexibility and understanding in regard to the change in our scheduling due to the fire. We are forever grateful to you for still making our wedding celebration the best that it could be. Thank you, thank you, we can't wait to hire you again! Sincerely, Sheila and George Tichy Megan and Chris" Lake Tahoe, CA August 2007 |

"The vows have been said, the cake has been cut, the guests have all gone home, but the memory of the wonderful evening lives on.... How can I even begin to find the right words to thank you and the band for the wonderful repeat performance? It was such a pleasure to work with you again. I have learned to surround myself with professional, competent people and it assures me of a fun carefree evening to enjoy myself, I have certainly done that with you Steve. Since we are now out of daughters please feel free to book another event next June because there will be no more Nylen girls weddings, but I so hope to cross paths with all of you again. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for helping us give such a wonderful memory to our daughter and our new son." Linda and Jim Nylen |
|
"You were fabulous-- We can't thank you enough-- My sister-in-law said the next morning that even if you
didn't have the beautiful decor-- that Band would have been enough to make a great party!! I know its hard to balance young- old and in-between but you really were great-- There was a period of time that Jordan wanted more DJ-- BUT when it was them alone only the kids were out there in a group -- once you guys took over you got the crowd going-- you made the evening a wonderfully amazing event-- your
singers were just awesome-- I cant wait to have you again--- Many many thanks for making our evening such a terrific
Party." Gayle Glenn June 2006 |
|
"Hi Steve: Thank you! Hip Service was the perfect ending to our banquet and three day meeting! Your music was fantastic--your musicians and singers were fantastic! The music was excellent, the band was entertaining and gave so much energy to our crowd. I have never seen our people, or any other group, enjoy a band so much and react with that much enthusiasm. They obviously didn't want you to stop. I hope the members of Hip Service could see and feel that. My favorites: you coming down into the crowd playing your guitar and "What a Wonderful World." I would be happy to give you references, in terms of the music and performance, as well as the professionalism in working with you to plan our event. Thank you also for making the adjustments--changing to an hour of dinner music, and omitting the last break. (I will also try to collect a few comments that I could pass on to you). We have this event on the same weekend every year. Next year, it should fall on January 26. We haven't selected a location yet. How far would the band be willing to travel and what other arrangements do I need to consider if we are not in Sacramento? Thank you, and please convey to the band what enjoyment their music gave to our group. Debbi" Debbi Hatanaka January 2007 Western Farm Service - Central Valley Division |

"Hi Steve! You guys are definitely the best band I have ever heard in the entire Bay Area. I will be proud and happy to recommend your services and will look in the next few days for good shots of you guys performing. Regards, Philippe Lee" Jade Studios Photography, San Francisco October, 2006 |

"Just got home from the concert in the park -- What an incredible show! Not only are you all talented but you are also true to the word 'performers". I loved the music and wished I had been able to dance more but even just listening and watching the show was a joy. I took a few pictures and if they come out I'll email them to you. If you have a mailing list please put me on it. Sincerely, Vanessa Vachon" Concerts in the Park, Ukiah August, 2006 |

Steve, Well, here we are...almost four weeks after our daughter's wedding reception, and people are still calling me about "That Band'! Comments include,"Best band ever!", "I never had so much fun dancing in my life", "Will they come here?", and "I could listen to them all night!" Even the wedding coordinator told me that everyone working the reception was dancing in the kitchen! Hip Service is an absolutely amazing and professional band. From the wonderfully talented and classy vocalists to the sax solo, you had us mesmerized. I want to thank you for making Cortney and Bryan's wedding reception an event to truly remember. Everyone had an amazing time and the evening turned into one big celebration from the very first song! Please pass along my heartfelt thanks to the band members. And thank you SO much for allowing my sister to perform with you. It brought the house down! Since she hasn't performed professionally for years, it was a thrill she will never forget. HipService was everything we were hoping for and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sincerely, Mary Itskoff" Julia Morgan Ballroom Reception San Francisco, July 2006 |

"Steve, Even a few weeks after my wedding on July 14th, my friends and family are still raving about one thing, above all else. . .the band!! We were all blown away by Hip Service, and on behalf of my parents, my new husband, and myself I want to thank you for performing at our wedding. As you could tell, everyone had an amazing time and the evening quickly turned into one big celebration - which is exactly what we wanted. We all had a blast! Please make sure to pass along my sincere gratitude to all of the band members. They are all so talented, and made the evening special by allowing my friends and family up on the stage, keeping the energy up, and performing their hearts out! Thank you very much. Sara Walker" Lake Tahoe, CA July, 2006 |

"Wow - What an Awesome group! Hip Service demonstrated the high energy our organization is accustomed to. They were very talented and had great performance attire. They listened to our requests for a nice mix of fast and slow music, communication with the band was very easy they were quick to respond to emails voicemails etc. Many members of our organization have been raving about the performance, and those that missed it were jealous! Thank you again Hip Service!" Barbara D, IJO Conference - Reno, NV 7/18/2006 |

"WE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO THANK YOU AND THE ENTIRE BAND FOR THE WONDERFUL MUSIC WE HAD TO ENJOY AT THE WEDDING...YOU MADE IT SO MUCH FUN WITH THE GREAT MUSIC SELECTIONS AND THE ENERGY THAT EVERYONE FELT COMING FROM THE STAGE...REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE ONE MORE DAUGHTER TO MARRY OFF, SO DON'T CHANGE A
THING...YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!!! I WISH I COULD FIND THE CORRECT WORDS TO REALLY EXPRESS MY FEELINGS BUT YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS SO INCREDIBLE THAT IT TRULY LEFT ME SPEECHLESS, AND THAT IT ISN'T SO EASY TO DO !! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HELPING US GIVE OUR DAUGHTER THE WEDDING WE HAD SO HOPED FOR. FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS WE THANK YOU.... FONDLY, LINDA NYLEN" Mother of Bride June, 2006, Lake Tahoe |

Dear Steve, Not only were our guests, committee and our management thrilled with your performance for us at our 2005 Spring Gala “Deco and Diamonds”, they were doubly thrilled again, this year!!! It was made very apparent to me that Hip Service “must” appear again! So, May 6, 2006 was another fabulous evening for Easter Seals! As your dancers waited and posed by the dramatic entrance to the ballroom it was made very easy for our guests to feel invited in as the great dance music started to rock the house! It is amazing what a difference one year can make. We had more people dance this year and a great many more people in the room and they stayed til the end of the evening – very unusual for our group. It had to be because of your fantastic vocals, dancers and, specifically, the whole experience! It has been a joy to work with and get to know you, Steve. You have a fabulous band in Hip Service and your agency is wonderful to work with! Continued best of luck and I hope all your clients are as happy as we are to work with you. I would recommend Hip Service, and you, to anyone who wants to listen to me go on and on about your tremendous music and entertainment! Sylvia Wolf Sr. Vice President, Development Easter Seals Bay Area June, 2006 |

"We hired Hip Service to perform at our wedding. Their classic jazz set was the perfect accompaniment for the wedding dinner. And then, when the dancing began, they really showed what a professional class act is all about! Everyone loved the band and so did we. Our out of state guests now believe that weddings in California are really fun, partly because of the great bands...and none could have been better than Hip
Service!!! Paul and Bernadine Bratovich" May, 2006 Villa Toscano, Amador CA |

"Dear Steve, Thank you for bringing so many smiles to so many faces. Hip Service was fabulous! I really appreciate your talent and effort to make our Shalom School fundraiser so much fun. Your band rocks!! I look forward to sharing many more parties together. Wishing you all the best, Ken and Nancy Fahn" Shalom School, Sacramento CA November 2005 |

"Hi Hip Service - You were fabulous! You were outstanding! I loved every person in that band. You were amazing, you were loving, you were fabulous, you were great...what else can I say? You were just perfect. Thank you! And what lovely, lovely people that are in your band. Everyone is raving about you. From my heart to yours – you made me one very happy mother! Thank you." Doris Patell, mother of the bride Sacramento, CA November, 2005 |

"Dear Steve, Thank you for being a major part of our daughter, Janelle’s, wedding. We’ve been to many L.A. parties and your band outshines them all. We feel very lucky to have found you. Your group has an incredible sound and your enthusiasm rubs off on everyone which makes a party successful. Please keep me informed about events you will be performing so my husband and I can come. My friends and I are always looking for a place to go. Thanks again, we loved you! Doreen and Richard Hirsch" El Dorado Hills, CA 9/29/05 |

"Hello Steve - Jeff and I wanted to thank you guys for an incredible performance at our wedding. We truly had a great time and we received many wonderful compliments on the band. We apologize we got upstairs so
late...I don't know what happened. Nevertheless, thank you all for playing later than planned. It truly was appreciated. Also thank you for learning Let's get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas..it certainly was a hit! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you guys play in the future! Sincerely, Kristen and Jeff Ramseyer" Lake Tahoe, July 9th 2005 |

"Dear Steve & the Hip Service Band -- Thank you SO much for making our June 11th wedding so incredible!! You are SUCH a great band — People are still talking about you guys! I was so pleased with your talent and your professionalism. It was a true pleasure to work with you! We loved you! Thanks again, Jen Mikacich" Sacramento, June 2005 |

"HIP SERVICE ROCKED THE HOUSE! I can't begin to tell you what a great job you all did for us on Saturday night, there hasn't been that many people on the dance floor at one time since we began this charity dinner nine years ago. I have only one regret and that's my inability to get out and enjoy all of it for myself. As I'm sure you are aware, when it's your gig, it's your work and you can't delegate without worrying about everything. Since last Saturday, I have received more phone calls telling me what a fabulous time was had and could we please get the band again next year. So the questions I have for you are these. Did you have a good time working with us, did we treat you good and were you well fed? Most important however, will you work with me again next year? I hope the answers are all yes and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks very much for providing such wonderful entertainment, Pepper" Captain

"Hi Steve! |
|
"We
were looking for a band that could play real funk music (not the fluffy
fake stuff) and get everyone out on the dance floor going crazy. Hip
Service had the whole crowd hooked from the first song. They exceeded
even our incredibly high expectations. We are passionate music fans and
we go to a lot of weddings all over the country - but I have never heard
anything like this before. At the end of their last set all of our 150+
guests crowded the floor to chant "One more song!! One more
song!!"...have you ever heard of that at a wedding? Not to mention
that they were kind enough to indulge us. If you want to throw a
wedding bash that no one will ever forget, along with beautiful dinner jazz
and an Into the Mystic that made my mom cry, I highly recommend you look no
further." |
|
"Steve
& Hip Service, |
|
"Hip
Service was simply fantastic. You are an incredibly talented group of
musicians who know how to create an incredible atmosphere. You had everyone
dancing from six years old to sixty years old. Most of all, you were amazing
to work with from start to finish. You were flexible, responsive and had a
great attitude. No request was too small or too large: from the p.a. system
for the ceremony to learning a new song for our first dance, you did what you
said you would in an extremely professional manner. (By the way, that was a
great version of “She’s No Lady”). Everyone we talk to from the wedding says
the same thing: 'We had an incredibly fun time at your wedding and the band
was amazing.' I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Thank you for helping us
create a truly special event and thanks for just being great people. You’re
definitely the best-kept secret around. We’d hire you again in a
second." |

I personally thank you, and I found Hip Service to be a great surprise with a solid performance and great stage production. Hip Service demonstrated outstanding professionalism. Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon at the Solano County Fair." Scott Foster |
|
"Stacey and I just returned from our honeymoon in Hawaii and have said to one another every day since the wedding, 'Hip Service was fantastic!' The band really rocked the reception at the Kohl - we were so happy to book you guys and have you perform so well; all of our guests continue to rave about you to us as well. Thank you all so much for putting on a great show. We are going to recommend you to all of our friends........we all had a blast!!! All the best ..." Chris and Stacey |
|
Wow! That
performance was just awesome! The band is fabulous — you saved the event,
just as Chris said. Thanks again for everything and for making the wedding so
much fun! Looking forward to working together again soon. |
|
"I
just wanted to say THANK YOU for playing such incredible music at our
wedding. You are all SO VERY talented and we truly enjoyed ALL of the
music you shared with us, our family, and our friends. YOU ROCK!" |
|
"Hip Service -- how can I thank you enough? All week I've been answering phone calls and cards from guests saying this was the best party ever! You are truly the greatest band in the world. Thank you for making Bill's 40th B'day party a special night we'll never forget." Jodi & Bill Palmer |
|
"You guys were great! Our primary goal for the reception was to have people *dance* - and that's exactly what happened. You sounded awesome (many, many guests commented on the high quality of the sound) and the dancing was a blast. Thank you also for the flexibility with respect to playing one long set. You exceeded our expectations, and helped to make for a great wedding party." Katie and Tom Wood |
|
"HIP SERVICE served up an electrifying performance! The classic soul and dance tunes were fun for everyone - a fantastic addition to BalloonFest at Serrano. The group was professional, detailed and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend HIP SERVICE - but only if you want your event to be a sure-fire success!" Janet Scherr |
|
"Once again, thank you for an amazing night. I swear a band can either make or break the night and you guys absolutely made the night. I think you have many new fans! I am getting email from all over, asking, "who was that great band?" I highly recommend Hip Service to any bride who wants her guests to get up and dance!" Elizabeth Estberg |
|
"Hip Service absolutely is the BEST group we have ever had and Sacramento is lucky to have you. What a great evening! Let's re-book for next year. Your professionalism and flexibility is so appreciated. Thank you for everything!" Sheri Ziperian |
|
"On behalf of the Jubilee Committee, I want to take this opportunity to thank Hip Service for their outstanding performance at the Rocklin Jubilee! We received rave reviews about their performance from hundreds of citizens after the Jubilee. We are hopeful that the group will return next year. Hip Service always displayed professionalism and was a pleasure to work with prior to the event, after the event, and most importantly during the event. They went above and beyond to make our entertainment the success that it was!" Michele Young |
|
"A phenomenal performance for the second year in a row! Our New Year's Eve at the DoubleTree Hotel was an incredible night thanks to Hip Service, and all of our guests could not stop talking about what a great band you are. What a party! I really appreciate all of your help and support leading up to the event and please pass on my thanks to the entire group." Barry Miller |
|
"My first experience working with Hip Service was a memorable one. My clients, Robert Mondavi Winery, were ecstatic! It took all of 30 seconds for the band to have the entire dance floor full, and that's the way it stayed for the rest of the evening. The group was punctual, easy to work with, and their sound system was great. I would highly recommend Hip Service and plan on using them in the future." Armando Miranda |
|
"Thank you, Hip Service, for making our Holiday Gala such a memorable evening. We were so excited to have Hip Service this year and everyone is still talking about it. The dinner music was perfect, and once the dancing started, they couldn't stop. Nobody wanted to go home!" P.D., Asp |
|
"From the website and demo tapes, I assumed that Hipservice would be pretty darn good.....in fact you were AWESOME! I am still having people ask me 'Where did you find that band?!' Everyone is telling us that our wedding was the best they have ever been to....in large part because Hipservice. We were so glad that we had you play for us and hope to get you back down here for a party sometime next year." Lars and Sabrina |
|
“We had heard great things about Hip Service, but you far exceeded our expectations. You blew the roof off the house! Thank you for a great concert and we are hoping you will come back next year.” Carol Spain |
|
"Their performance was superb! Audience reaction -- WOW! Excellent song selection! Terrific vocals! Musicianship and professionalism are top notch. The only thing wrong was that we couldn't listen longer! Your time on stage was just too short. Hip Service rules!" Melanie Polka |
|
"We chose Hip Service for our wedding reception because we hoped your music would compel ALL of our guests to get up and dance. In fact, everyone not only danced the whole night but also did not want to stop dancing when the end of the reception approached! Thanks Hip Service for helping make our wedding day as much fun for everyone as we hoped it would be! When our guests have shared their impressions of our wedding day they always compliment the 'incredible band.' Thanks also for helping emcee our wedding! Your professionalism definitely helped us have an amazing time at our own wedding!" Brian and Erin |
