"Hot date were one of the first bands we looked at for our wedding reception entertainment and we got "that feeling". We tried window shopping but just couldn't look past them and thankfully we booked them for our big day. They didn't know our first Dance song request but said they were happy to learn and perform it for us and they absolutely smashed it! It was perfect, so much so, we prefer the Hot Date version to the original song! They also read the room the entire night and went with the flow in total harmony. The dance floor was filled from start to finish and they mingled with all our guests throughout the evening, taking our kid guests requests and making sure everyone was where they had to be - Dear Groom almost missed the last song "Loch Lomond" as he was basking in the ambience outside the venue and Laura found him and very kindly escorted him in to enjoy our last song. We're both so grateful and would have been gutted without Laura going the extra mile! The best night we've ever had and are totally gutted that we can't continuously relive it! Highly recommend this amazingly talented band for any event, they're outstanding!! Thank you so much again to Hot Date! "

"When searching for our wedding band we were so lucky to come across Hot Date. Our guests loved them and were on the dancefloor all night. Laura sang our first dance song beautifully. They played music that everyone loved and sang along to. They were a huge part in making the evening reception what it was and we still receive so many compliments on the band. I can't recommend them highly enough! " "
