It’s been two weeks but still over the moon with the whole wedding and specially with the Band’s performance. Super tight instrumentals and vocals were awesome. The dance floor was packed all night. They read the room perfectly, could not have been happier. Every guest was as impressed as I was. A bonus was they are all such nice guys!!! Loved it and would recommend Hot Sauce in a heartbeat!!!! I have another daughter…..she just a boyfriend and we can do it again!! Haha

You guys absolutely crushed it! So much fun having you guys play at our wedding. It was awesome to see so many people out on the dance floor enjoying the music all night. Especially the second set was really fun. From the groom: Playing on stage at my own wedding was the experience of a lifetime! Keytar with the raccoon tail was hilarious also. Happy positive recommendation from us to whoever needs to hear it!

Hot Sauce was fantastic!! We could not have picked a better band for our wedding reception. They were so lively and fun and played a great selection of songs. All of our guests have been talking about how amazing our reception was and how great the band was. The band was also kind enough to learn a new song for our last dance. It was so incredibly special and meaningful to us. I wish we could do it all over again! Thank you for everything!!

Hot Sauce killed it! Also, they can flawlessly do a 2 hour set. We are so appreciative of their flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond to please the client. Truly! Thank you for everything, as always!

Hot sauce was so great! They arrived early and had everything set up for our ceremony and that went off without a hitch. They had our songs ready for first dances and they played great music all night! They played all five of the requested songs that we sent in and the dance floor was lively and jumping, and they were interactive, and it was a fabulous experience. We would definitely book them again!

Before Davis & I head out for our honeymoon tomorrow, we wanted to send a HUGE thank you for being a part of our very special day! The entirety of our wedding day was truly magical and we cannot thank you enough for the work you put in to make it happen. It means so much to us and wouldn't have happened without you. There aren't even enough words to say, but thank you thank you thank you!!

"You all were fantastic! Nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests - as you could probably tell from crazed dancing and the encore request :) Thanks so much for making the trek out to Hawkesdene. Our hosts were also impressed, and I made sure they knew your group’s name (they were already familiar with the booking agency) in case future parties are looking for a phenomenal band! We’d be happy to post a glowing review somewhere if helpful.

YOU GUYS WERE THE BEST! Thank you so much for being a part of our day and for being the absolute best band we could have asked for! All of our guests kept talking about how awesome you guys were and we agree :)

- Morgan N.

5/10/2024

Awesome and so many compliments from our guests. They did great on an abbreviated time schedule (due to our scheduling and hard curfew, no doing of their own) from what we originally planned but I felt like they tried to make up for lost time and played many back-to-back songs, which we're very appreciative of. The only thing I would change is having them play longer! I've been fortunate enough to see them twice and am hoping one of our friends gets engaged so I can convinced them to hire Hot Sauce to make it a 3rd time. I hope the band enjoyed our special day and had some laughs at our dance floor antics.

- Chris & Steph

HOT SAUCE absolutely brought the party to our big day! Everyone raved about how great the band was, and I have never seen so many people on a dance floor at a wedding. Shirts were coming off, people were being raised in the air, and the band sounded absolutely incredible. Thank you, HOT SAUCE! You were everything we could have dreamed of.

Words cannot describe how amazing Hot Sauce was! Truly, we did not want them to leave and the dance floor was packed all night. They are an incredible talent. A few guests who know a thing or two about music, said this band was incredible. They were so professional and attentive before the wedding and we enjoyed them so very much. We could not have asked for a better experience. Our wedding planner Chauncey had heard them a year ago and told us how much she enjoyed them. We are grateful for her recommendation. Thanks so much, Reny

As a planner who has worked with many bands I was previously impressed with Hot Sauce but last night made them my top band I have ever worked with. There were a lot of logistical changes and challenges and they were by my side the entire time saying tell us what you need we got you. They put on an amazing show and the professionalism start to finish was second to none.

You guys were a 10 out of 10!! Everyone was raving about the band, and many guests said it was the best they've ever heard at a wedding or anywhere! You guys were not only talented and entertaining, but truly nice and easy people to deal with. I would recommend you to everyone, and they will not be disappointed. You exceeded our expectations, and we are so happy you could be part of our wedding day!!!!

We hired this band for a holiday party, and they were a HUGE hit with our guests. We have had several people ask us to book this band for next year, and for contact information for them. Probably one of our best experiences with the booking agency yet. We appreciate the great communication, great energy, and great music!

- Kari S.

2022-12-03

Hot Sauce was beyond amazing - and our guests couldn't agree more! We are still receiving compliments for Hot Sauce weeks later. We really took a chance with them, as we had never heard of them nor heard them play and I'm so grateful that we did. They kept the crowd on the dance floor all night, and they knew all the right songs to play in order to do so! They not only learned our first dance, and private last dance song but they absolutely killed both of them! We had to actually drag people out of the venue at the end of the night and everyone wanted an encore - needless to say they were fantastic, and I would 10/10 recommend!!!!!!

- Kristen D.

2022-11-05

Hot Sauce Party Band was AMAZING! They really made our wedding special. They were kind enough to let us practice our wedding dance routine once before the actual ceremony start time and it helped to calm our nerves. So many of our guests have told us how much fun they had dancing and how wonderful the band was. Also, adding on the horns was a fantastic addition!

- Megan S.

2022-07-30

We had a fabulous time with Hot Sauce. We loved the interaction they had with the guests. They were so much fun! They were so friendly and extremely talented. Hope to have them again. We still had a full dance floor at 12:00. They were also great in emailing me and answering any questions I had about the night. What a great group of extremely talented guys. Barry Herndon was also extremely professional and so helpful! We loved working with all these guys!

Everything was fabulous! The band was amazing – from the first song to the last they gave 110%, engaged the crowd, music selection was perfect, and they have a great sound. The violinist was also just perfect. I knew connecting with the booking agency was going to guarantee a good experience, but it was a GREAT experience! I highly recommend your company and Hot Sauce.

Believe me when I say this is the best band I have ever had the pleasure of listening too! They were hired for my son‘s wedding and I can’t even begin to tell you how professional and entertaining they were! Everything was perfect… It couldn’t have been more perfect! I waited a lifetime to dance with my son at his wedding and when they played our Song and we had that moment I have to say it was absolute perfection! Thank you thank you thank you for doing the phenomenal job you did… You are magnificent!

- Nicci Serr

2021-10-03

Hot Sauce brought the party y'all. We thought it was a little risky picking a band we had never heard live, based on reviews and recorded songs. It was the best decision we made. They were AMAZING. Every single guest was on the dance floor and every single guest has told me since the wedding how amazing the band was. If you're looking for a band for your event, book Hot Sauce. You will not regret it.

- Samantha K.

2021-10-02

I can't tell you how many of our guests told me at the end of the night how great you all were! People were blown away by y'all's performance and talent! I can confidently say you all made the night! Also, as I told you on the night of our wedding, you were the most responsive person in all of the people we had involved in the wedding. Again, thank you so so much.

Thank you so much for your help picking Hot Sauce! They were ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! They were so easy to work with and easy to contact. They learned our songs for the ceremony and reception. Everyone got on the dance floor for most of the night. All of our guests keep calling us to say how much they loved the band. I am trying to think of excuses to throw another big party just so we can have them again. They definitely exceeded expectations and were wonderful to have! 10 out of 10 stars. A+ experience. I was blown away.

Hi Hot Sauce, I’m not sure if you remember me, my husband (Ben) and I got married at the Sutherland on June 11th of this year. I’ve been meaning to sit down and write this for MONTHS.. I’m so sorry it’s taken this long!! This summer has flown, and we still have yet to write our thank you notes.. but I knew this one had to be our first. It’s pretty impressive how quickly you forget all of the small things you sweat over throughout the wedding planning process. All things that don’t cross you mind a single time on your actual wedding day. The day goes by in the blink of an eye and it’s virtually impossible to remember every single detail. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we were told the wedding is for friends and family, and the honeymoon is for us. We were also told that we’d spend so much time talking to guests, and being pulled in every direction that we shouldn’t be too disappointed if we weren’t able to relax and enjoy our day fully. We thankfully did not have that experience and we have you to thank for that. THANK YOU from the bottom of of hearts for making our wedding day such a blast! We still to this day reminisce on our reception and how truly grateful we are that we were able to relax, and enjoy it fully while dancing all.night.long. I’ve lost count at this point of the number of people that reached out to us complimenting our band selection and saying it was the most fun they’d had at a wedding in years. Three months later you all are still a discussion topic amongst our friends, when we get together they still talk about how much fun they had. Your stage presence, your song selection, you guys exceeded any expectations we could have had. We had an engaged couple bummed that they had already booked a band for their wedding day😂. Thank you for keeping everyone out on the dance floor (even our pastor!!!!) not every band can do that. When we’re asked what our favorite part of the day was our answer is always the same, “Our band!!!”. We joke all the time that we should get married again just to hear you guys play!!!

- Savannah K.

2021-06-11

The guys were great! They had the guests on the dance floor the whole night! The crowd cheered them on for an encore and can't stop raving about them! It was super easy to work with them and even with a last minute venue change due to weather, they just rolled with the plan and made things super simple. 10/10 would recommend again!

- Amanda

2021-04-24

Hot Sauce was on Fire! They knew exactly how to bring the crowd to the dance floor and keep them there! Loved their Energy & Interaction with the party! Highly recommend the added horn piece. Their communication leading up to the wedding was Fantastic, handled all of our requests! Spice up your event with some Hot Sauce!

“Hot Sauce was absolutely, completely, 100% (all the things!) a DREAM! The band was professional, fun, and made our intimate, 30 person wedding feel like a true party. I scream sang with the lead singer and the guitarist made a few surprise trips into the crowd to jam out. Hot Sauce will forever be one of the reasons 11/11/20 is my favorite day.”

Reid with the booking agency helped us find a band for our wedding and it was a painless process. He sent us several options in our price range, and we ultimately went with Hot Sauce. Hot Sauce was awesome. We got so many compliments on the band, and we really appreciated their flexibility during these crazy times. Nothing but positive things to say.

- Connor

2020-08-08

HOT SAUCE was FANTASTIC! Everyone at the wedding danced the night away. The comment we heard over and over was, “what a great band”! Our son, who has been in a few bands, said that the quality of the music was exceptional! And what was really appreciated, was that all the members of HOT SAUCE, were genuinely interested in making our event the best event ever! We can’t thank you enough!

- Kristina L

2020-03-07

Thank you to Hot Sauce for helping us dance and sing with our loved ones on the best night of our lives! We really enjoyed the band at our wedding. They were open to several suggestions such as a New Year’s countdown and dance floor props to help our vision come true. We received a lot of compliments on the high energy level of the band and range of songs performed. Ideally I could have done less “slow” songs at the beginning of the night, but I know our guests appreciated the variety (just a personal preference). Thanks again to Hot Sauce and the booking agency for an amazing night!

Fantastic Evening! Had about 100 guests at my 50th Birthday Party and everyone was very complimentary to my selection of Hot Sauce. First class professionals.

I have no words to describe how AMAZING Hot Sauce was on our wedding night (9/14/19)! Wow, it was truly an absolute dream. Every single one of our guests was on the dance floor the whole night and didn't want the night to end. The band engaged all of our guests of all ages and played every single song of different genres we requested. Not only was the music UNREAL, they also announced our bridal party and the order of events flawlessly. My husband and I sent them a recorded version of our first dance song and it went off without a hitch using their system and they made our parent dances SO SPECIAL and customized. Hot Sauce definitely knows how to work a room and we can't wait to hire them for all of our family events in the future!!!

- June B.

2019-09-14

Book this band now!! They were so, so fun. Mike's communication leading up to the wedding day was top-notch and the fact that they were willing to learn a unique cover of a song for our first dance was extremely generous of them. We asked that our special dance songs be kept short (around 1 min 30 sec and that was no problem for Hot Sauce, they drifted in and out of the songs perfectly. Hot Sauce engaged with our guests and really helped get and keep the party started. We didn't give Hot Sauce much guidance on what songs to play or to not play but somehow they were able to nail it! They are super good at reading the room and made sure to keep the party going all night long. Also, their social media engagement is an added bonus- these guys are fun!

- Sarah C.

2019-08-03

If you don't book Hot Sauce for your upcoming wedding, you're nuts! They MADE our wedding reception. I have never been to a wedding where the majority of the guests stayed on the dance floor the entire night! Our wedding photographer said that he had never felt the floor rock as much as it did the night of our wedding (and he's done several weddings at our reception location). Mike was so easy to communicate with beforehand, he was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly. They even learned our first dance song and played it for us at the reception, so special! THANK YOU Hot Sauce for everything! We had an absolute BLAST!!! I’ve had family and friends texting and calling me the last two weeks saying how awesome ya'll were! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding reception one for the books!

- Sarah & Weston

2019-06-22

2019-06-22

All I can say is that everyone wants to hear Hot Sauce again and wants them to play at some local Charlotte venues. How can we make that happen? Amazing!!! Thank you for being such a huge part of a super special night!!!

2019-05-16

I think it's safe to say after our wedding that y'all have about 200 new raving fans!!! People of all ages filled the dance floor the entire night and it went by way too fast!!! It poured down rain all day and you guys really helped our guests forget about the weather and enjoy themselves! On top of that, Mike was so kind and flexible with us and our song requests. I couldn't be happier with how the day turned out, and the party was a huge success thanks to you all! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we knew one of our main priorities was the music. Hiring Hot Sauce Band was the easiest and best decision we could have made. We got to know them before the wedding by going to their shows and come wedding day, they felt like an extension of our family. The dance floor was packed the entire night and the energy in the room was simply magical, thanks to these guys. We hired Jason to play keys during our ceremony and Mike and Ethan to play an acoustic set during the cocktail hour - both of which were wonderful. They even learned a song for my husband’s dance with his mother. Our guests have not stopped raving about the band at our wedding and it was a party we will not soon forget! We look forward to hiring Hot Sauce again in the future and to continuing to follow them around town. Thank you guys for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives!

- Joanna F.

Hot Sauce was an incredible band and I highly recommend them for any event. They created the exact vibe I was expecting for our party. Their range of music is amazing and they were true professionals. I had so many of my friends ask where I found them and commented how good they were. One friend said he had thought the "radio" was turned on given the band sounded just like the song. I would definitely hire Hot Sauce again in the future or refer them to anyone that ask. I wish them continued success!

WOW!!! That is the first word that comes to mind when thinking back to Saturday. You all did an amazing job and are such a pleasure to work with. I have had so many wonderful compliments on the music and I have already had some people ask for you all to come back. You all nailed the mix of music to keep it fun and lively. Thank you so much for all of your patience and problem solving with the electricity. I really don’t think I can thank you all enough. I look forward to having you all come back out here sometime soon!! Please pass my gratitude along to everyone.

Hot Sauce was so awesome! They got there super early and set up everything, played a great set list, and were so easy to work with and get in contact with. Thank you so much for helping set this up, I couldn't have done it without your help and patience.

Hot Sauce was fantastic!! They did an incredible job. People were on the dance floor as soon as the event started, which is a rarity! It was packed on the dance floor the whole time they played. I only wish they could have played longer. They had to stop earlier than expected due to outdoor noise ordinances. In any event, all the guys were very nice and were enjoyable to work with. They responded quickly to any of my requests and set-up and break-down went by seamlessly. I talked to them after they performed, and they said it was one of the best crowds they played for. Hoping we gave them some promotion in exchange! I will definitely be recommending them to friends for future events. Words from our photographer -- "Hot Sauce Band was absolutely phenomenal, BTW - one of the best cover bands I’ve heard ever; the singer has tremendous range, and the rest of the band had awesome energy as well!"

The band was great. They did an excellent job and were very easy to work with. Very professional. They seemed like a great group of guys and they're clearly very talented. Only regret was that it had to end and they couldn't keep playing!

Everything at the wedding was perfect. Hot Sauce was great, and had the guests dancing all night. I also loved how accommodating they were, both by letting us musicians at the wedding play a couple songs, and by being willing to learn a couple new songs that we picked out. We are very glad that we picked them. :) Thanks for everything!

- Ken S.

2017-10-14

My son got married on Friday and we hired Hot Sauce as the band for the wedding. They were so fantastic. Everyone danced the whole entire night. The dance floor was packed. I would definitely recommend them. They could not have been better. We loved every minute of the music.

- Lori R.

Everything went great and you guys were awesome! I only heard great things from our guests. We will definitely keep Hot Sauce in mind for any future events we may have in the Charlotte area.

I just wanted to say thank you so so much to you and the band for the amazing job at our wedding this past weekend. You guys were phenomenal!!!! All of our guests could not stop raving about how amazing you were. We really appreciate everything you did and all of the hard work you put into making our wedding so perfect.

- Ritchlyn & Patrick

2017-06-17

Thank you so much! We had an amazing time! (A lot of sweating but it clearly didn't stop us). I don't remember leaving the dance floor for more than a few minutes all night. You guys were great and we have gotten nothing but positive feedback regarding "the band". The coordinator at the Omni (Alison) sent us a message and noted how much she loved you guys so hopefully she will pass that on to potential future clients :) You were wonderful to work with which was awesome. Please let us know if you are ever in the Atlanta area. We would love to see you guys play again.

- Amber & William

2017-05-28

Thanks so much Mike! You guys were outstanding! Thanks for fantastic music, thanks for playing a little cramped to give us some dance space, and for being super chill. Plus, fantastic job on the pronunciations for the names! Best of luck for your futures, and if we throw a party down in NC and need a band, you will be first on our list! Cheers!

- George T.

2017-05-27

Hot Sauce was Amazing! They were very accommodating, they were incredibly friendly, they did a fantastic job pronouncing my wife's and her parents names (which are Chinese), and the music was great! They went above our expectations, and they were incredibly professional. I would recommend them for sure to future parties and groups who need a band. And I will keep you in mind for sure for any upcoming events, or if anyone asks me for a recommendation in your area. Thanks for everything!

Holy cow – Kristen and I are still recovering from the wedding weekend but the VERY FIRST follow-up we wanted to send out is about Hot Sauce. Hot Sauce exceeded our expectations and wishes in every way possible.  They were professional, responsive, flexible and insightful during the planning phase.  Their equipment and lights were set up early, and looked great and un-cluttered.  They nailed the announcements and first/parent dance songs.  They wasted no time in between songs and transitions.   They were both classy and energetic on stage.  The music, both instruments and vocals, was spot-on.  They stayed true to the recordings while also adding the perfect amount of live flavor.  Their set list had the perfect mix of variety and our preferences, and kept the party building minute after minute.  We could not keep people off of the dance floor if we had tried – ages 20 to 70 were dancing and singing along consistently, including my close friends (and me) who NEVER usually dance for more than one or two songs – at least 20 people were always on the dance floor and often many more.  They always looked like they were having fun.  Their volume was perfect – guests away from the stage could talk comfortably and guests near the stage caught the energy.  They helped announce our dinner and sparkler exit perfectly.  The singer interacted with and ventured out into the crowd on some songs.They even let me, my dad’s band and my friends sit in on a few numbers.  They made our wedding celebration especially memorable and special and it would not have been the same without them.In high school and college I was a drummer in a party band that played all sorts of private functions, and I was expecting to find at least one thing I could criticize.  I found nothing.Wanted to just pass back our thanks to you in helping us with booking them!

Hot Sauce is by far the best wedding band I have ever seen! We are so lucky to have them at our wedding reception a couple of weeks ago. Words cannot express my gratitude for Hot Sauce helping us throw an amazing party!! Thanks guys!!

- Andrew J.

2016-10-15

Hot Sauce was great and the perfect choice for our wedding.  They were great to work with and did an amazing job as our wedding band.  They kept everyone engaged and on the dance floor which is exactly what we were hoping for.  It was a great party!We received many compliments from our family and friends on how great they were. We definitely would recommend them.We would also like to see them again if they have any upcoming public events.

Just wanted to thank you again for such a great time last weekend. I'm glad the Duke fed and treated you well. You guys definitely brought the energy, talent, and sound we were hoping for. I can't tell you how many people have told us that you guys really made the wedding a next level event.  I feel like we're bonded to you guys now in magical way. Our wedding wouldn't have been as amazing with any other band.   Hot Sauce is the only party band I'd recommend. I really appreciated how attentive you guys were before the wedding in making sure every detail was to our liking. It really made us relaxed and at ease on our wedding day knowing everything was completely under control on your end.  And the costumes were the real icing on the cake :).  I'd ONLY recommend you guys going forward. I'm sure we'll cross paths again one way or another.

- Shadd & Brooke G.

2015-08-22

I'm the mom of a bride who selected you guys to play for her wedding reception and I was a little hesitant because I was worried that all of the songs would sound the same (I thought a DJ would provide more variety). Was I ever wrong! You guys were FANTASTIC!!!! From The Rolling Stones to Michael Jackson to Marc Ronsan/Bruno Mars to Rod Stewart, you guys were great!!! I've had a number of folks tell me they've never had that much fun at a wedding before and that's due to you guys --- you made the reception! I can't say enough good things about you so I'll just say thanks so much for making my daughter's wedding reception unforgettable!!!!

Hi Phillip!Katie and I are still talking about how amazing you guys were for our wedding!!  Everyone there kept coming up to us and saying how awesome you guys are!  Multiple asked me for your band name and info.  The music was perfect at all times and seeing everyone out there dancing was so cool.  It could not have been any better.  People say that the band sets the tone for a wedding - well, you guys rocked the house and everyone there felt it and enjoyed it thoroughly.  We cannot thank you enough and so happy you guys could make it.P.S.> Singing up on stage with you to Journey and Metallica was kick ass!!

Y'all were absolutely AWESOME and I could not have been happier about the entire night. I had to stop myself several times just to look around- the dance floor was packed every time and that is completely owed to you.I am waiting on my video footage and photographs. As soon as they're back, I will be sure to send it over!

Thank you Hot Sauce Party Band for helping make our wedding reception truly perfect! We've had so many guests tell us how awesome you guys were! Your energy, enthusiasm, and the way you worked the room to make everyone feel included had us all dancing and singing along to a perfect mix of songs. We knew we were in great hands in preparation for our wedding as you listened to what we wanted and double checked that you understood our requests fully, gave great feedback on our ideas, and went above and beyond to encorporate personal touches just for our day. Everyone had an amazing time! Thank you for helping make our reception such great fun! We hope to have an opportunity to work with you again!

Phil.....I received highly positive feedback about the performance of Hot Sauce for the 4th of July festivities at the Lake Norman Yacht Club. The dance floor was packed with all ages....and many acted numerous years below their actual age. You made me look good. I do hope for a repeat performance next year.....and have heard that the person running our Labor Day Regatta has designs on booking you guys for that event as well! Great job....and we will stay in touch.

We had such an awesome time at our wedding. It was more fun than I could have ever wished for and we owe it in large part to you and Hot Sauce. We had so many compliments about the band and I had never seen many of my family members dance before, let alone on the dance floor the entire night! You really kept the party going and we loved every second of it. If we ever have an event worthy of a band in DC or south I will be sure to get in touch with you guys. You exceeded our expectations and we felt very fortunate to have you play at our wedding. You sir, are a gentleman and a true delight to work with. Everything went so smooth and was completely too easy! I did find out why the lights went off at the end of the night. My older brother tried to do one of the flip moves Holly and I did during our first dance. When he flipped the guy in the air, the guy's feet got caught in the lights and short circuited everything. We were really lucky you guys brought the lights! It almost was like it was planned, turning the dancefloor into a club scene towards the end of the night. Lastly, I was absolutely ecstatic when you played Shout for the Encore. Really rocked the night!Thanks again and hope to rock out to Hot Sauce in the future!Warm regards,

- Zach F.

2013-06-29

By all accounts, it WAS a great event!! Thanks for being so flexible and for providing such a fabulous party for the 75th Anniversary of the Virginia State Bar. Will look forward to a return visit sometime in the near future!

I am the mother of the bride and very excited to write this review. When my daughter got engaged 10 months ago, we knew that we wanted a live band for the reception. Not knowing a lot about bands in the North Carolina area, we turned to the booking agency. We requested a band that would bring high energy and were able to get our guest on the dance floor. The music for an evening can make or break a party. the booking agency sent use 5 different bands to review. We chose Hot Sauce. Many of my friends could not believe that I never went to listen to them live but chose them from listening to their music through the internet. Wow, I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the evening was and all the compliments we received from our guest. Our friends and family were on the dance floor all night long. They did not want the night to end. Hot Sauce is worth every penny and more. Thank you Hot Sauce for being apart of my daughter's wedding and making her wedding a dream come true.

- Gina U.

2013-06-10

I just wanted to reach out and thank you, again, for playing at our wedding!!! YOU GUYS ROCKED!!! People were on the dance floor all night and everyone couldn't stop talking about how awesome you all were and what an awesome time they had!!! That day was absolutely amazing and I also wanted to say thank you for playing our song “live” for us! It was perfect! You made our day extra special and we couldn't have asked for more! Best,

- Kelley M.

2013-06-01

You guys are the best! Thank you so much for making our wedding reception unforgettable.I can't even begin to tell you how long it took us to find a band we liked. Chad, his mom and I went to so many concerts last summer in the Charleston area but with Scott Toole's advice, decided to book Hot Sauce just off your demo. It was the best choice we made for the whole wedding.You guys kept the flow and party going so wonderfully. I still have guests calling me to tell me the Band was worth whatever we paid!Thank you so very much!

- Sarah & Chad H.

2013-04-12

Hey Doug,Hot Sauce was awesome! Could not have gotten a better band for our wedding. They delivered exactly what we wanted and were so friendly and professional!!

We did not want it to end!!Thank you so much for helping us to have a truly amazing wedding day and party!!!Everyone said that y'all were the best, most fun band they have seen at a wedding, and will definitely recommend y'all to anyone we hear of that needs an awesome band for their event.I could go on and on about how much fun we had....y'all brought the house down and delivered exactly what we wanted for that night.We hope y'all had as much fun as we did! Please keep in touch and hopefully we will see y'all again very soon!!Sincerely,

Can't thank you guys enough for putting on an awesome performance for the 3rd Annual Gopher Ball supporting The First Tee of Greater Charleston. You guys kept the crowd going all night and were a blast! Everything from the variety of songs and costumes to how you all worked the room all night was perfection! You did a excellent job of helping promote the cause and raise awareness for the organization which was very much appreciated. Thanks for the support and we hope to get you back to Charleston for another event!

- Ben G.

2013-01-12

They were great to work with... extremely nice guys, very professional, happy and talkative during setup (in the best way), great audience interaction and super fun to watch perform. I heard from more than one person that they sounded fantastic and played a great mix of songs. Thanks so much for helping me with this suggestion, they were great to work with on Saturday. Thanks again for all of your help!

- Charlotte K.

2013-01-01

Hot Sauce is the best band we have had at an event in years! Not only are they polished, professional, and amazingly, talented musicians- they are a blast! These guys party right along with you, and they know how to make a party fun. They came in with a positive attitude, ready to work. They were flexible and accommodating all night long. They kept it low key during cocktails, and knew exactly what to do to fill the dance floor when we were ready. They literally left our crowd begging for more! Hot Sauce is an excellent party band! Those five guys made our event a roaring success! I really appreciate what they did for us, and give them my highest recommendation. They are a great group of guys and a superb band!

- Susie S.

2013-01-01

Let me first say that words cannot express what it meant to my parents and I to turn around and see you holding my sister's hand and dancing and singing with her. You and the band are a truly amazing group of people.Next, you guys KILLED IT!!! Absolutely KILLED IT!! From the very beginning to the end y'all had the dancefloor packed from start to finish, exactly what we wanted!! There wasn't a single person in the room who did not complement the band, y'all even had everyone yelling encore at the end of the set...that doesn't happen at weddings! During the last song, Melissa and I turned around to take it all in, and it was amazing to see the dancefloor packed with people. I tell ya, we have a lot of friends getting married this summer and i'm pretty sure you guys made them very nervous, because y'all set the bar VERY high!!! Don't be surprised if they end up calling you!I cannot thank you and the rest of the band enough for being willing to move the date and doing whatever it took to make this happen for Melissa and her family. You certainly didn't have to but it sure says a lot about who you guys are as people that you did.Thank you soo much and please let me know if there is anywhere I can formally write you guys a recommendation, I'll be glad to do as many as necessary. I hate we didn't get to talk more before and after but I'll be keeping up with you guys and hope to see y'all at another party soon.

- Justin P.

2012-01-14

Mr. Sullivan - I'm Justin P's father. While I surely don't have the experience with bands that my son does, if there is a group out there that is remotely in the same class as you guys....I would have to see it and hear it before I could ever believe it. I just wanted to thank you and the other members of your group for the role that you played in helping make my peerless son's wedding the memorable event that he deserved. Also, rest assured that the memory of my precious daughter on the dance floor with the leader of the band.... is a memory I will carry with me.

Thank you very much for performing at our Gala again this year, we absolutely love having Hot Sauce and our guests sure do too! Of course, we were happy to tip you guys for such a great job! Thank you for your compliments, it really was a great event, we were so pleased! And happy to announce that this year's event raised more than $63,000 with 205 guests in attendance!!! Which helped us reach our goal of a 5-year grand total of $275,000 raised for lupus. That is nearly 63,000 new opportunities to help those affected by lupus. This event has become a cornerstone of our organization, one we look forward to celebrating with beads & masks & drinks for years to come. And we would love to have the pleasure of your involvement again next year! Thank you again! Sincerely,

- Carolyn P.

Hot Sauce was on Fire! They knew exactly how to bring the crowd to the dance floor and keep them there! Loved their Energy & Interaction with the party! Highly recommend the added horn piece.
