Phenomenal performance... amazing people! Can't miss.
My wife and I got married this past July and we hired the Different Hats band to perform. After viewing their videos online and talking with Ron on the phone we knew they were the band for us. There performance (which came in two parts) was absolutely phenomenal. The wedding was at a barn and when the guests arrived they started playing setting the tone and mood for the rest of the day. They performed brilliantly throughout the night and worked with us when it came to our needs, budgets and music. Our wedding would not have been the same without them! If you choose to go with someone it will be a big mistake! Can't thank them enough.

Wow! Liz has an incredible voice, and is even better live than on the samples- if that is possible! Every note she sang was perfect. The guests loved her; she is adorable and has wonderful stage presence. Ron's playing was fabulous. He worked with us before the event to select the perfect music, even when we kept making last minute changes. He and his wife (who manages the details while he plays) made the evening flow so well. During one of the breaks, we asked her to do a dance lesson for the guests, and it was a huge success! They are such nice people, so accommodating and professional. They really cared about making our evening perfect. I highly recommend them!
