The best of both worlds

We hired Hot Date to play our wedding reception and couldn't be more pleased with how the whole thing turned out. Nora and Eric are so talented and professional, but they are also SO personal and friendly. They got to know us in the lead up to the event which made the gig itself so much better! Their versatility was on full display as they kept things old-school cool while our parents danced, and then seamlessly transitioned into some funky rock-n-roll later in the night. These guys are the real deal and great people too!

Perfect Love Feels!

We had Hot Date play as a duo on our wedding this past September. They communicated promptly during the hiring process, were flexible with song list. (We requested some songs and they even learned a bunch to make our day extra special!) They were punctual and professional at the event and we're amazing people to boot! Can't say enough about how great Hot Date was. Their fee was affordable and worth every single penny and more. They brought so much to our wedding with they're beautiful sounds and loving vibe. Hot Date's skills and talent would translate to any event I could think of. What a treat!
Thank you!

Great Band!

Hot Date played our outside wedding reception. They were very professional and easy to work with. They brought all their own equipment and all we had to do was point them to where we wanted them and they handled all the setup. They were very personable to our guests and played a mixture of our requests and their own original music. All of our guests loved them and the music was a perfect accompaniment to our special day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good band for their wedding or for any kind of party.

Wonderful night, great music

Hot Date! did a wonderful job at our party. They established a warm relationship with the crowd very quickly and had everyone enjoying the show. The variety of music was very good and they adapted their play list to match the crowd. Nora's voice captivated many of us. Eric's skill on the guitar had all of us in awe. Thanks for a memorable evening.
