"The Hawks played at our wedding on 10th August and were fab! Very professional and friendly. They played a great selection of songs and got lots of people on the dance floor. Thanks for helping make our day so great!"
"Hi guys, a massive thank you from James and me for playing at our wedding last week. You were fantastic and so many guests have commented on how much they enjoyed you. You really did play a massive part in making our day truly perfect and we cannot thank you enough."
"The Hawks were brilliant. We were nervous paying out without seeing them in person beforehand but we needn’t have been. They were super friendly guys, very talented and created a real party atmosphere for our wedding. Would highly recommend! Thank you! Regards, Richard."
"The Hawks were amazing! Having my wedding in Bristol so wanted a local band to play at my wedding and they didn't disappoint. Very clear in what they offer and easily could communicate with them if there were questions. They were very friendly when they arrived and were quick to set up. They have a list of songs they play and a Spotify playlist in between sets. Once they started they were brilliant. They were energetic, brilliant selection of songs and during their breaks they chatted to our friends and family adding to the special feel. They even let my wife sing one of the songs! 100% recommend them they were a blast"
"We hired The Hawks to play at our wedding and they delivered. We were only a small wedding party, in a large room but The Hawks gave a fantastic performance and filled the room. Danny has great vocals and brings such an energy to the performance. The sounds and quality of the band and overall music was amazing, including a great varied set list. Everyone had a brilliant time and all said how great the band were. Booking and communication were nice and easy, and we appreciated Steve giving us a ring to clarify some things rather than email back and forth. If you’re unsure of whether to go for a DJ or a band, go for a band and book The Hawks. You will not be disappointed!"
"We loved The Hawks! All our guests gave us great feedback on how good the band were, they really got the dance floor going and played a superb setlist which they have honed over many shows, and they really know what works and have great fun on stage. In short, you are in safe hands. The vocal range and overall sound of the band is really close to a lot of the records they are performing (our guests commented on this as well), which given the diverse songs being played is all the more impressive. They are also really organised in the run up to the big day so communication was easy and they accommodated a few curve balls from us and our partying guests on the day effortlessly. Massive thank you for being a big part in making our day so special. We would highly recommend you book them!"
"Absolutely brilliant. Our guests said they were great vocalists as well as getting the whole dance floor going. Danced all night. Easy to work with as well."
"The Hawks were fantastic, we're so glad we found them. They were so friendly to work with right from the start. During their set they had the whole wedding party dancing and we had so many comments about how great they were. We would highly recommend them to anyone getting married and looking for a wedding band."
"Where shall I even begin! You smashed it, so so good! Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, you kept the vibe going and got people dancing. The dance floor always had people on it! All of our questions beforehand were quickly responded to and we truly felt like we were in a safe pair(s) of hands. The energy was great and we would recommend the guys to play anywhere. Thank you!!"
"They performed at my wedding recently. I’m a wedding photographer and I’ve shot over 1000 weddings, but The Hawks... Wow! ...they are non stop with the absolute best tunes, one of the top wedding bands in the country! Would recommend anyone in the South West or beyond to check these guys out. Thanks for a great night lads!"
"They played our wedding, set list, vocals, light show and variety of songs were exceptional. Great people and made what could be a stressful process very easy. 5 stars isn’t enough. Great band!"
"Absolutely brilliant! The band were just as good as the original recording, so engaging and got everyone up on the dance floor! If I have another occasion to book a band - I won't hesitate and book them."
"Their brilliant repertoire and high quality performance kept us all dancing for hours. They were incredibly interactive during their sets and we received so many compliments about them. We could not recommend them highly enough.."
"Absolutely fantastic band doing a really wide range of covers. The guys themselves were really helpful and friendly and adapted to suit our venue. We hired them for a work Christmas party and they had no problem getting everyone up and dancing from the first song. Would definitely recommend them for any event!"
