"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."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"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"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"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!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"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!"
