“They were absolutely AMAZING. I was a little worried as I hadn’t seen the band live but I didn’t need to worry. The accommodated to everyone’s taste in music and even took live requests from us. They were so professional but we felt like we’d known them for ages! The band playing Tenacious D - Tribute for me and my bridesmaid will forever be one of my favourite memories of the day. ”

“I just want to say they were brilliant! Hipshaker performed at our wedding in February. We had the duo perform a set during canapés with the rest of the band joining in the evening. Wow what a performance. The band played everything requested and accommodated any requests. It was such a great atmosphere with the whole party on the dance floor. This was by far one of the best bands we have seen perform and they topped off our special day with a bang!”

“I cannot tell you how AWESOME Hip Shaker were at our wedding. From start to finish their energy and set list had EVERYONE on the dance floor. We were all particularly delighted (and surprised!) when they just started taking our requests in the final set, which led to a pretty rock-heavy end to the evening! It was so much fun and I particularly wanted to highlight how grateful we were for the band's accommodation of our request to have Best Man, Martyn, sing with them for a song. It was a completely unforgettable experience. So many guests have commented on how amazing the band was and I hope they enjoyed it as much as they seemed to! All the Tailored Entertainment staff were professional, helpful and very friendly in all our prep communications with them and I am already recommending you to everyone who will listen! Many thanks again!”

“Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and Hipshaker were amazing and played a huge part in that - they were well worth the wait after we had originally booked them 2 years ago for our COVID affected wedding. The band are all so incredibly talented and played such a varied set list! The band kept everyone dancing all night and we particularly enjoyed the mash-ups - seeing all the wedding guests, including all the parents, go crazy to Faithless was definitely one of the most memorable moments of the day!! Thanks also to everyone at Tailored Entertainment for your help in organising and co-ordinating the day.”

“Both Hipshaker and the whole experience with Tailored has been fantastic from start to finish. A couple of specific call-outs... The team at Tailored have been incredibly responsive throughout the process. They helped me to navigate some of the set-up requirements of the venue with ease, and walked me through the logistical requirements step by step. The day ran smoother because of their preparation. The band were wonderful. Their set was packed with great songs that they nailed and we had a big crowd up and dancing from start to finish, which is exactly what we wanted. One special call out - our first dance was a bit of an off-beat choice and the lyrics were basically awful for a first dance. I had a quick chat with the lead singer about this and he said he'd figure out a way to deal with the lyrics. I'll be honest, I had no idea how he'd handle it but he did so perfectly (with about 60 seconds notice). I REALLY appreciate that - it was a super skilful and professional move and I'm really grateful for it.”

We had a number of skilled musicians in attendance who were all impressed with the overall standard and the groom in particular never left the dancefloor. Although it was slightly unnerving not to get chance to communicate directly with the band themselves prior to the day itself, they did not disappoint once they started playing. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band who can cater to music lovers young and old. Thanks everyone.”

“Id just like to say how happy we were with Hipshaker who played at our party on Saturday night. I had asked for songs to get the party dancing and they certainly did that. The second set in particular was fantastic. From the band's version of the Cha Cha Slide, to a dance off between my daughter and her godfather, a true sight to behold. The band conducted themselves in a very professional manner throughout were extremely polite and discreet particularly when clearing their equipment away at the end, I did not even realise they had left.

Many thanks to the guys and also to Tailored Entertainment for the ease and professionalism shown in organising the booking. I'd definitely recommend you to friends.”

They're not just a 'run of the mill' wedding band, you could really tell they'd spent time and effort planning and rehearsing stuff that really works for a wedding of people our age. Everyone especially loved the 'mash-up's'....very cool! At one point I was slightly concerned when I heard Oops-up-side-your-head playing (my worst nightmare!)....but when I looked around and saw the dancefloor was packed and the guys were getting everyone into it....I realized they really know what they're doing! The guys were really friendly, making time to come and congratulate us. I hope they felt welcome and were well fed with sausage butties!

“The wedding was wonderful, thank you. A perfect day for us. The band were absolutely amazing. The video online really does not do them justice. The songs they did were a perfect mixture & got my guests up dancing! I will certainly be recommending them to as many people as possible.They were discreet in their arrival too, (having been to previous weddings where bands make too much of a big deal). Having chosen to provide my own music between the bands sets, I felt really comfortable and confident that they had control of the playlist - making sure the music was constantly playing. However, having seen them play live music, I would definitely trust that they would also do a great job of playing the right kind of music between sets too.....if I'd known how good they were going to be, I would have let them do this - as I'm a bit of a music snob. In short, they absolutely nailed it and were worth every single penny. Please make sure they get this feedback! They helped make our night so special. Thanks again”

We hired the boys for the day so they arrived for the wedding breakfast set up and did an acoustic set which was fabulous, the songs were varied everyone knew them and they sounded so good!! The rest of the band joined the boys for our evening do they checked in with us to see if they could do anything extra for us but we were more than happy with what they had planned, they wowed our guests all night they were absolutely fantastic ,we adore you boys!! 3 of our guests have asked for your details for their weddings too, we’ve literally had non stop praise for you. We’d highly recommend Hipshaker and we would definitely book you again. Thanks again.”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute full band acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is for our trio line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Southport. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

“I just want to say they were brilliant! Hipshaker performed at our wedding in February. We had the duo perform a set during canapés with the rest of the band joining in the evening. Wow what a performance. The band played everything requested and accommodated any requests. It was such a great atmosphere with the whole party on the dance floor. This was by far one of the best bands we have seen perform and they topped off our special day with a bang!”

“I cannot tell you how AWESOME Hip Shaker were at our wedding. From start to finish their energy and set list had EVERYONE on the dance floor. We were all particularly delighted (and surprised!) when they just started taking our requests in the final set, which led to a pretty rock-heavy end to the evening! It was so much fun and I particularly wanted to highlight how grateful we were for the band's accommodation of our request to have Best Man, Martyn, sing with them for a song. It was a completely unforgettable experience. So many guests have commented on how amazing the band was and I hope they enjoyed it as much as they seemed to! All the Tailored Entertainment staff were professional, helpful and very friendly in all our prep communications with them and I am already recommending you to everyone who will listen! Many thanks again!”

“Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and Hipshaker were amazing and played a huge part in that - they were well worth the wait after we had originally booked them 2 years ago for our COVID affected wedding. The band are all so incredibly talented and played such a varied set list! The band kept everyone dancing all night and we particularly enjoyed the mash-ups - seeing all the wedding guests, including all the parents, go crazy to Faithless was definitely one of the most memorable moments of the day!! Thanks also to everyone at Tailored Entertainment for your help in organising and co-ordinating the day.”

“Both Hipshaker and the whole experience with Tailored has been fantastic from start to finish. A couple of specific call-outs... The team at Tailored have been incredibly responsive throughout the process. They helped me to navigate some of the set-up requirements of the venue with ease, and walked me through the logistical requirements step by step. The day ran smoother because of their preparation. The band were wonderful. Their set was packed with great songs that they nailed and we had a big crowd up and dancing from start to finish, which is exactly what we wanted. One special call out - our first dance was a bit of an off-beat choice and the lyrics were basically awful for a first dance. I had a quick chat with the lead singer about this and he said he'd figure out a way to deal with the lyrics. I'll be honest, I had no idea how he'd handle it but he did so perfectly (with about 60 seconds notice). I REALLY appreciate that - it was a super skilful and professional move and I'm really grateful for it.”

We had a number of skilled musicians in attendance who were all impressed with the overall standard and the groom in particular never left the dancefloor. Although it was slightly unnerving not to get chance to communicate directly with the band themselves prior to the day itself, they did not disappoint once they started playing. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band who can cater to music lovers young and old. Thanks everyone.”

The second set in particular was fantastic. From the band's version of the Cha Cha Slide, to a dance off between my daughter and her godfather, a true sight to behold. The band conducted themselves in a very professional manner throughout were extremely polite and discreet particularly when clearing their equipment away at the end, I did not even realise they had left.

Many thanks to the guys and also to Tailored Entertainment for the ease and professionalism shown in organising the booking. I'd definitely recommend you to friends.”

They're not just a 'run of the mill' wedding band, you could really tell they'd spent time and effort planning and rehearsing stuff that really works for a wedding of people our age. Everyone especially loved the 'mash-up's'....very cool! At one point I was slightly concerned when I heard Oops-up-side-your-head playing (my worst nightmare!)....but when I looked around and saw the dancefloor was packed and the guys were getting everyone into it....I realized they really know what they're doing!

“The wedding was wonderful, thank you. A perfect day for us. The band were absolutely amazing. The video online really does not do them justice. The songs they did were a perfect mixture & got my guests up dancing! I will certainly be recommending them to as many people as possible.They were discreet in their arrival too, (having been to previous weddings where bands make too much of a big deal). Having chosen to provide my own music between the bands sets, I felt really comfortable and confident that they had control of the playlist - making sure the music was constantly playing. However, having seen them play live music, I would definitely trust that they would also do a great job of playing the right kind of music between sets too.....if I'd known how good they were going to be, I would have let them do this - as I'm a bit of a music snob. In short, they absolutely nailed it and were worth every single penny. Please make sure they get this feedback! They helped make our night so special. Thanks again”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute full band acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is for our trio line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Southport. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
