5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
Tim L booked Hipster for their wedding at Muncaster Castle in Cumbria

“Hipster were AMAZING! We had always said we wanted music to be a key theme, and what guests remember from our wedding, and we chose Hipster based on their excellent reviews, online demos and set list. Having never heard them live, we were still a little nervous as to how the night would go. We needn’t have worried, as I can safely say Hipster are by far the best cover band I’ve ever seen or he...”“Hipster were AMAZING! We had always said we wanted music to be a key theme, and what guests remember from our wedding, and we chose Hipster based on their excellent reviews, online demos and set list. Having never heard them live, we were still a little nervous as to how the night would go. We needn’t have worried, as I can safely say Hipster are by far the best cover band I’ve ever seen or heard, which after 10 years spent listening to après-ski bands throughout the Alps is quite a statement. They learnt two new songs especially for us, played some impromptu improvised extras on the night to accommodate requests, and judged the crowd and our requested playlist perfectly to make the night go off with a bang. They also have a great attitude and are the most friendly, helpful band I’ve ever come across – and all the guests loved them. They DJ’d between sets, put up with the guests who’d ‘had a few’, and created the perfect atmosphere from romantic first dance, through family-friendly rock classics which had everyone dancing, and on to a wild finale. We can’t say THANK YOU enough and have already recommended Hipster to another friend for their wedding next year. We look forward to seeing you again soon!” Read more

Helen G booked Hipster for their event in London

“I have honestly never seen such a response to any band that we have had at our events. There were plenty of people on the dance floor the whole time, everyone was having a great time, and one of our guests even joined Hipster on stage for a song. Very happy with their performance. Hipster were awesome, I can highly recommend them.”

“I would like to thank you and the band for the most fabulous night at the De Vere Hotel. The music was spot on and so many people danced, there was not enough room on the dance floor! With nearly 200 guests you played a great variety of songs to suit every ones taste. The Trust has had great feedback from the night and we would love to book you for our next Ball which is in November 2015. ...”“I would like to thank you and the band for the most fabulous night at the De Vere Hotel.
