The best cover band ever! I saw Hip Service performing at a wedding at the Bohemian Club in SF. I'll admit that even at that swanky venue - I wasn't expecting a kick ass dance band. They were amazing! I became a Facebook fan as soon as I got home (cell phones frowned upon at the Bohemian Club..that's right) It's a big band with sax, trombone and trumpet, 4 or 5 singers and every song they played was great. Katy Perry, Maroon 5, EW & F, Aerosmith even James Brown for the real deal music people (some were there). The whole crowd, 25 to 75, was on the dance floor and partying! They were perfect. Props Hip Service - you are the best and I will find you again!
We hired Hip Service for our daughter's wedding in Napa and we could not be more thrilled with them! Their dinner set was dreamy and the perfect accompaniment to our delicious dinner. The singer's voices and harmonies were beautiful. We all teared up during "At Last". Beautiful. We could hardly believe it when the time came to dance and the music was so upbeat and current! Young and old loved the music and danced all night. They also created an "after party" DJ dance party for the younger people who wanted to keep dancing late. Everyone had a wonderful time. Hip Service also provided all the lights, staging, sound equipment for our event. Our planner was very happy with them. We feel fortunate to have had such talented musicians available for daughter's special day. They even learned special songs for her and her, now, husband. Wonderful.
Once again Hip Service has been phenomenal! I just saw them at the Jeans and Jewels Fundraiser after seeing them at a wedding over the summer too. Fantastic all the way around. Great music and such nice people! They made our very important fundraiser very successful. We danced all night. My daughter is getting married in 2014.. Hip Service will be there!
We love Hip Service! Steve Bloom is great to work with. Our company has worked with Hip Service several times and they are a fantastic band! Every bride and/or client has been thrilled. Steve and his band made sure everyone was dancing all night. As an event planner, the best thing about Hip Service and Steve is how easy they are to work with. They think of everything and plan every detail with us and our client. 5 stars!
This past summer we had the pleasure of attending a Hip Service event at the Palladio in Folsom. They are one of the best cover bands I have ever heard and I was really impressed with their level of quality entertainment. The performers are so talented at singing and playing popular songs from all of the eras; without making them sound "canned" or flat. The balance between artistic creativity and respect for the original piece of music made the concert feel very genuine and lively. My kids were even dancing along to their favorites from the radio and to some of my favorites from the 80s & 90s. We truly had one of the best summer nights ever at the Hip Service show! I highly recommend this band for any event, especially weddings and company events. I hope to attend another one of their concerts again soon.

"I cannot recommend Steve and Hip Service more. We planned a destination wedding in Tahoe (from NYC!) via email and phone, and Steve was incredibly responsive, professional and patient with us and all of our questions. The day of the wedding I have NO DOUBT that everything would go off without a hitch because of their attention to detail and the countless hours Steve spent on the phone with us. The band even surprised us a week before our wedding by learning a pretty obscure song for our first dance (Shine a Light by the Rolling Stones) and KILLED IT, to the point that the band cut out at one point so everyone could clap along with the lead singer. It was honestly my favorite moment of the whole day. LOVE Hip Service!!"
