Hudson Horns

Hudson Horns Collective - Asolo Italy - September 2017

Out of all our priorities for our wedding, MUSIC ranked right at the top. We must have looked at fifty different bands. The Hudson Horns stood head and shoulders above the rest. From their promo video alone, one could see that this was a group of true musicians, of artists, who could take a song and make it their own. 

We couldn't wait to see them perform—our expectations were high. And yet they blew us away. Believe me when I say that THIS IS NO ORDINARY BAND. They lifted all of our friends and family off their feet and had them dancing their hearts out, including the ones who CANNOT and DO NOT dance. 

For months after our wedding, guest after guest has asked us, "Who was that band?!" And quite a few have gone to see them perform around New York. I recommend you do as well—you'll wonder why I didn't use more caps.

HH Collective - Tuscany, italy August 2022

The Hudson Horns somehow managed to exceed our already high expectations. From day 1 they were extremely professional and accommodating to fly out to Italy and help with our dream wedding. The biggest talking point of the day and even 6 months afterwards, was how amazing the band was. We still cannot believe they were at our wedding and it is a core memory that will live with us for ever. I can promise you that you will not find a better band out there to perform for your occasion. There are 3 certainties in life. Death, Taxes and the Hudson Horns giving a performance you will never forget

HH Legends - Kingston, NY November 2024

These words will likely not be enough to capture our appreciation and respect for the whole team, but I will try! Let me start by saying that as a longtime musician myself, the band was THE most important aspect to nail for our big day. There are a TON of wedding bands out there and we searched hard for about 3 months…It was a painful process, but nothing compared to the individualized and original sound that HH had. They had a unique, tailored, and original sound that most wedding bands did not. For someone who plays music, it was important to find a team of musicians that felt like they weren’t just playing the same old standard wedding song, but rather adding their twist to it and, not to mention, throwing a killer party while doing it. Hudson Horns took this to a whole new level.  We had the pleasure of having the Legends for our wedding on 11/16, and they wildly exceeded our expectations. First, the entire team, including the band members, are an absolute joy to work with. From day one, Rachel answered all of our questions and never made us feel like we were a bother. She understood our budget, vision, and taste in music and worked with us to customize the band the way we wanted. Even when we hit a minor speed bump a week leading up to our day where the guitarist (who I specifically requested on day one) couldn’t make it…Rachel and her team came ready with a new solution, allowing us to be free from any stress in that moment. The owner of the band, Jake, even sent us a personalized message apologizing but reassuring us that our night would be incredible…and he was right.   From the second the band started playing on our wedding night, the guests were already raving. And by “started playing,” I mean the cocktail hour trio…That was the first time our guests got a small taste of what they were yet to bring and we got so many compliments just on that alone. They even threw in some classic rap arrangements into the trio which put a smile on people's faces! Then the actual dance sets started….This is when the compliments came flooding in. “This is the best band I've ever heard.” “Do they have a manager?” “This is a live band?!?” - The reviews raved throughout the entire night while also leaving the dance floor absolutely packed and filled with high energy. Not only did they play in their own unique sound like I mentioned above, but they covered a range of genres, including classic, pop, emo, and classic rock, before bringing it all home with some Frank Sinatra and seamlessly transitioning between them in fun and interesting ways. The singers and horns even got out into our crowd, making the experience even more special.  To put it simply, Hudson Horns is an incredible powerhouse of talented and passionate musicians, business leaders, and tech wizards who together know how to craft a one-of-a-kind experience that is both memorable and exciting. They go against the grain in an industry that seemingly feels flooded with cookie-cuter experiences. They didn’t feel like vendors to us, but rather guests and now long time friends. From the bottom of our hearts, Laura and I thank you all a million times over for your incredible energy and steadfast commitment to making our night one we will remember forever. If you ever have the chance to book this incredible team, jump on that opportunity and do not hesitate for one second.  Thanks guys!  L&M

Words cannot describe how incredible the musicians of Hudson Horns are! They are truly talented artists who fill the room with positive energy and love. They bring the party to life, skillfully blending music genres to get guests of all ages dancing.

Dancing with our friends on one side and our parents on the other, surrounded by everyone we love, was a dream. They seamlessly played jazz throughout cocktail hour, incorporated our traditional Italian tarantella dance, and beautifully sang our country based first dance song. They kept the energy high, rapping to Jay-Z and even playing the drums right in the middle of the dance floor!

Highly professional, highly enthusiastic, highly rated by every guest we had AND every vendor we used that evening. If you have the opportunity to book this band, consider yourself lucky! Thank you a million times for making our wedding music dreams come true!

HH DJ - Andover Township, NJ October 2024

From the moment we saw their incredibly hype videos on their Instagram page, we knew we had to have the Hudson Horns at our wedding. AND WE'RE SO GLAD WE DID!!!! The Horns ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!!! From giving us a grand entrance into our reception, to floating around the dance floor and creating vibes with them everywhere they went – they kept our guests on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. Prior to the wedding, we found it hard to picture how the horns could complement every song – but they matched the energy of every single one and added their magic to it. We are still receiving unbelievable amounts of rave reviews about them and the contagious energy and vibes they brought all night. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

- Jennifer (Bride)

HH Collective, Brooklyn NY September 2024

We knew that having live music at our wedding was something we had to have, and no regular band would do. The vibe that Hudson Horns brings is lively, jazzy, and infectious. They covered every part of our special day, from ceremony to reception. Our event was black-tie optional, and their whole presentation perfectly complemented the look and feel we wanted for the night. The HH Collective has a lot of range in the songs they play, and they even learned some of our favorites to make things extra special. We were super impressed with how they executed on a K-pop song and a eurobeat track. Our third custom pick was already a jazzy pop song, and you could tell the musicians were having fun putting their own spin on it. They really brought the energy and got everyone dancing the night away. People just couldn’t stop telling us how impressed they were with the band. Communication and planning with Rachel was professional and timely, and the team was willing to entertain ideas about how to execute on the night. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable! If you’re looking for a band to take your wedding celebration to the next level, look no further!

HH Dj - Stonington, CT september 2024

Hiring Hudson Horns was hands down one of, if not THE, best decisions we made for our wedding! We went with a 3-piece horn ensemble to complement our DJ, and they were an absolute hit with our guests. They elevated the vibe, brought so much energy, and kept the dance floor packed all night. Everyone was raving about how incredible they were, and the unique horn + DJ combo added an unforgettable touch that many of our guests had never experienced before. I'll admit, we were initially hesitant about the investment, but they were worth every penny. From leading a brass band procession from our cocktail hour to the reception, to making every dance set even more exciting, Hudson Horns brought an incredible energy that made the entire night magical. Thank you so much!!

-Brenna (Bride)

HH Legends - Weston, CT September 2024

Hudson Horns was hands down the best purchase of our entire wedding. Every single person was on the dance floor all night long. The energy and passion they brought to the stage made our wedding so fun. The one thing everyone left raving about post wedding was how amazing the BAND was. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

- Alycia (Bride)

HH DJ - Brooklyn,NY September 2024

We are so grateful we were able to book Hudson Horns for our wedding day!! We had the 4 piece band play alongside our DJ at the Wythe hotel in Williamsburg, and they were truly incredible. Rachel, the booking manager, makes the entire planning process so easy and smooth, and was happy to jump on a call with us to discuss some of our ideas. The HH themselves were truly a highlight of the night - so many guests commented on how unique and talented they were! They kicked things off by entering through the courtyard playing an acoustic version of 'Crazy In Love' to lead our guests into our reception hall, then played along with our incredible DJ for the dance sets. Although we hired our DJ separately, the HH are so incredible and talented it felt like they play together every night! Thank you, Hudson Horns, for making our wedding incredible!

-Alice (Bride)

HH Legends - Brooklyn, NY September 2024

Rachel was very professional and organized and everyone loved the band! They had great energy and accommodated our requests. The dance floor was full all night. Thank you, HH!

- Molly (Bride)

HH DJ - Hudson NY, September 2024

Absolutely UNREAL experience with Hudson Horns (SB HH combo!!!). The team brought so much energy to our dance floor and absolutely crushed it. We had so much fun dancing with the musicians - they all have such electric and engaging personalities and know how to vibe with the crowd. They are an extremely impressive crew and we would hire them 1000x over for our wedding, and hope to again for future events! They are an absolute must have - epic and SO much fun!!!

- Kate (Bride)

HH Legends - brooklyn NY, September 2024

Hudson Horns were fantastic at our wedding earlier this Fall. They were very easy to work with and flexible to our requests and playlist preferences. The music and MCing from the moment the guests entered for the Ceremony all the way to the last song of the reception was even better than we expected. Thank you Hudson Horns!

-Kim(Bride)

HH DJ - Rhinebeck, NY September 2024

The Hudson Horns are a absolute 'must have' at your wedding. We had the 4 musician team come to supplement our DJ and they absolutely brought the dance floor to life. They brought so much energy and had no trouble playing alongside any song on our setlist. They will get involved on the dance floor as much or as little as you want, but I highly recommend you have them out there because they really bring the energy up. Beyond their obvious musical talent, they were progressional and kind the whole night

- Kevin (Groom)

HH Legends - Sharon, CT September 2024

HH Legends was amazing - hands down. We had very high expectations based on their YouTube and Instagram clips, but they easily exceeded them. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, telling us how this was the best wedding band they’d ever seen, and some even asked if they played shows for the public! To that point - we have to emphasize HH Legends isn’t “just” a wedding band, they put together one of the best live shows we’ve seen in a long time (and it just so happened to be at our wedding!). They did an amazing job of curating an amazing set list, involving the audience (and of course the happy couple) multiple times for a high energy show. We’d heard of couples moving their wedding days to make sure they could get Hudson Horns, and we now know why! The whole team is very easy and helpful to work with from start to finish, and the brass parade was the perfect kick-off into a high energy reception. We can’t recommend HH Legends enough!

- Christian (Groom)

HH DJ - Buxton, ME August 2024

We had Hudson Horns perform at our wedding with Sounds Buono (Joe Buono - DJ) and they were INCREDIBLE! Rachel was awesome to work with to coordinate all the logistics, and the band was incredible. From cocktail hour tunes to the second line from dinner to dancing, to bringing the energy on the dance floor, I absolutely recommend HHDJ! We were torn between HHDJ and a classic wedding band, and we are so glad we went with HHDJ - it was unique and so much fun, and allowed us to have such a wide variety of music on the dance floor. They were amazing!

-Rosey (Bride)

HH Collective - Weston, CT August 2024

I was absolutely so blown away by the band!! They were all so talented and the music was amazing. But what made it especially awesome was the upbeat, personable and energetic attitude they brought to the party - it was infectious for all of us and kept the dance floor full. I am truly so grateful for this incredible night! I can’t wait to hire them again…… already trying to find a reason!!

-Kendall (Birthday Girl)

HH Legends - Montgomery, NY August 2024

Hudson Horns was the best choice I made for my wedding. Multiple people told us they were the best wedding band they had ever heard and it is so true - they were so lovely to work with, got everyone on the dance floor, and brought such an amazing energy. I cannot recommend them highly enough - they are truly an incredible band and made our day beyond special!

-Jaclyn (Bride)

HH Collective - North Adams, MA July 2024

This is a review for the Hudson Horns collective band who performed at our wedding last July. We feel deeply appreciative and extremely lucky to have had this band on our special day. I know nearly everyone writes positive reviews of their wedding band but Hudson Horns is truly the GREATEST, and if you don’t believe me you can see for yourself live at their live shows or just watch their videos online- they are truly special. Their chemistry with each other is undeniable and you just don’t find it with other bands. We first saw them perform live almost a decade ago at Radegast Brooklyn and it stuck in our minds when we were planning our wedding. We even moved the date of the wedding to make sure we had this band- they are that good. It was the best decision- Hands down they were the biggest highlight of our special day. They learned so many songs for us and performed them better than the originals: from Mariah Carey to Rage Against the Machine to Avett Brothers, etc. plus all the classics you would normally expect. They brought the house down with RATM. Words can’t express how appreciative we are of Jake and his team. They are brimming with talent (each and every member), professional, overly accommodating, and it’s been over a year and our friends still rave about this band! Book them asap if you can! we can’t wait to see them live again soon.

- Emily (Bride)

HH Legends - Callicoon Center NY, July 2024

Hudson Horns was absolutely incredible and were the perfect addition to my wedding this summer. They were able to accommodate the song requests we made, and just brought an incredible energy for the wedding ceremony, our hora, and the reception itself. During and after the wedding, we had multiple of our friends (and our parents' friends) compliment us on how great HH was, and even had one friend ask us for their information for their own wedding! The performers brought amazing energy and seemed to genuinely be having a great time, which helped all of our guests have a great time. Highly, highly, highly recommend them for your wedding or other event!

-Steven (Groom)

HH Collective - Brooklyn NY, July 2024

Absolutely amazing from planning to execution. Everyone at my wedding kept coming up to me to say how good the band was

-Kasey (Bride)

HH Collective - Lake Placcid, NY June 2024

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of wedding band! From start to finish, they exceeded all our expectations and created an unforgettable atmosphere for our special day. Their flexibility and dedication to learning our taste in music truly set them apart. From the first consultation, they made it clear that they were committed to making our wedding music uniquely ours. They took the time to understand our preferences and curated a playlist that perfectly reflected our taste. Their ability to seamlessly blend our favorite genres and songs into the setlist was impressive. The band's vibe was absolutely amazing. They brought an energy and enthusiasm that kept the dance floor packed all night long. From the horns processional into the tent until the very last song, we were dancing all night long. Their musical talent and stage presence created a lively and joyous atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. The transitions between songs were flawless, and they knew exactly how to read the crowd to keep the momentum going. Without a doubt, they are the best band we have ever heard at a wedding. Their performance was nothing short of spectacular, and they played a significant role in making our wedding day so memorable. If you're looking for a wedding band that will not only meet but exceed your expectations, look no further. They are simply the best!

-Maddy (Bride)

HH Collective - Fairfield, CT June 2024

Having heard a few of Hudson Horns performances at other weddings, booking them was our number one priority for our wedding. We planned our wedding date around their availability and it was the best decision we made! HH did not disappoint - they had everyone on the dance floor the whole night and were so accommodating to our requests - even learning 3 special songs that we requested. Rachel was such a pleasure to work with, the whole process was seamless! Could not recommend HH more!!!

-Jaime + Charlie (Bride and Groom)

HH DJ - Shelter Island, NY June 2024

We went with the HH Hybrid setup in which they play with a DJ we selected (Sounds Buono, who often works with these folks). The setup and sound integration of brass/drums to DJ tracks was fantastic, and the group of players were profession and skilled at their instruments. They were all lovely people and I would certainly recommend them!

-Andrew (Groom)

HH Legends - Blue Hill, ME June 2024

The Hudson Horns were beyond incredible! They kept our dance floor packed the entire wedding. They sounded amazing from start to finish, and kept the energy up interacting with the crowd, dancing on stage and on the dance floor. I cannot tell you how many people came up to ask for their name during and after the wedding. They made our wedding so memorable and SO FUN! Hire them!!

-Kathryn (Bride)

HH Strings and HH DJ - Garrison, NY June 2024

We hired Hudson Horns Strings and Hudson Horns for our wedding and they were fantastic! The string quartet played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a mix of classical and pop and it was so fun! The brass ensemble was also incredible. All the musicians were so friendly and relaxed but also professional. We requested them to play a specific New Orleans Mardi Gras brass song and they were fantastic. They also kept the party going the whole night and our guests loved them! I would highly recommend Hudson Horns for a fun immersive musical experience!

- Ellina (Bride)

HH Collective - ridgefield, CT June 2024

Run, don't walk, to book HH Collective! We knew right away that we wanted to book Hudson Horns for our wedding, and they were still able to far exceed our expectations. Rachel was extremely helpful during the planning process and when it came to the big day, the entire band was phenomenal! HH Collective brought the energy and truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable! The musicians are incredibly talented, and our guests were raving about the parade and the wide variety of music that they played! They are truly the GREATEST wedding band we've ever seen, and we couldn't recommend them enough. If you are debating booking HH, this is your sign to go do it!! We promise they will not disappoint!!! Thank you HH for making our day so special!! We hope we can see you play again soon!!

-Melissa (Bride)

HH Legends - Windham, NY June 2024

The Hudson Horn’s team including each and every band member, Rachel and many more individuals behind the scenes are TRULY incredible. Words cannot do them justice - you’ll just have to work with them to see how incredible they are! Even our typical wallflower type guests were on the dance floor, smiling and dancing like we had never seen. They brought us so much joy, ease and dancing with so many laughs to our wedding with multiple guests saying they were EASILY the best band they’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend using Hudson Horns and invite us if you do because we want to experience them everyday!!!!

-Kelly (Bride)

HH DJ - Brooklyn, NY June 2024

Hudson Horns made our wedding an absolute blast! They were able to play with our DJ on everything from Bollywood songs to house music to early 2000s hip-hop. Our guests could not stop raving about HH- the energy and talent was just off the charts. Thanks to HH, our dance floor was packed all night

-Jeremy (Groom)

HH Legends - Manahattan, NYC June 2024

Where do we start?? We had the HH Legends perform for our wedding in NYC last weekend and they were UNREAL!! All of the performers were SO talented, professional, high-energy and fantastic. Truly the best live music/entertainment we could have asked for. Our guests were raving about them all night! (This was a super hard decision for us to make because my husband is in the music industry and we wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and they did NOT disappoint.) My MIL said she's never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding at once. To make it even better, the band learned a new song so that MY DAD could sing/perform for us as a sweet surprise after his toast. Was such a special moment and the band made it happen. Will remember it forever. Rachel and the team were SO great about communicating with us, the venue, the production team, our planner, etc. So organized and on top of everything. Also so great about making sure our performer and song preferences were met/heard. Could not reco Hudson Horns enough! Made our wedding SO fun and one to remember for a lifetime. BOOK THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING!

-Kristina (Bride)

HH Collective - New City, NY June 2024

Saying Hudson Horns is a wedding band does this group an injustice -- they are a wedding EXPERIENCE! They elevated everything about our wedding, from the incredible funk trio during cocktail hour, to a second line parade to our reception, to the party itself. Their professionalism, organization, and incredible musical abilities are impressive and made everything seamless and so much fun. Plus, they were very nice and fun to work with.

- Jenna (Bride)

HH DJ - Middletown, NY May 2024

The Hudson Horns were an amazing addition to our wedding, as they really did bring the energy the entire night. Everyone at the wedding got out on the dance floor, even those who don't dance! Would highly recommend, truly a once in a lifetime experience!

-Colin (Groom)

HH Legends - Coldspring, NY May 2024

Every single person who spoke to me at the wedding said that Legends was the greatest wedding band they had ever heard. They absolutely CRUSHED. The vocalists were insane. The sax player was ripping it all night. I personally have never seen a wedding where almost every single person spent the majority of the night on the dance floor. They never backed down and the night ended in crescendo. We were floored, and more so, moved by their commitment to making it such an incredible performance. We will continue to spread the good word on Legends to anyone who needs!

- Colton (Groom)

HH Collective - Tarrytown, NY May 2024

We STILL have guests raving about HH Collective, saying it's the best wedding band they've ever experienced. Thank you for making our wedding truly the most perfect and unbelievable day. From the beginning, we said we just wanted to throw one big party and HH Collective UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! You could tell the musicians were having just as much fun as us and our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better band. If you're thinking about hiring HH... DO IT! You won't regret it.

-Laura (Bride)

HH Legends - Brooklyn, NY May 2024

Hudson Horns were a clear 5/5 stars. Rachel was incredibly responsive and helpful with planning leading up to the wedding. And then the band was so electric the night of. They brought incredible energy for hours. So so incredibly good. You will not be disappointed.

- Charlie A (Groom)

HH Collective - Cortlandt, NY May 2024

Couldn’t be happier with HH Collective’s performance at our wedding (we’re still hearing about it from guests!) And Rachel was amazing to work with — great communicator, gave such helpful advice and worked to make sure all of our requests and needs were met. Thank you so much!

- Charlie (Groom)

HH Legends - Avalon, NJ May 2024

You NEED HH Legends on your wedding dance floor! They were the most professional and high energy band we’ve ever met! Every member of the band made our wedding day electric and we didn’t left the dance floor once! What a talented group of musicians! We will remember this day forever and how much fun we had because of HH Legends!

-Lindsay (Bride)

HH Collective - Oceanport, NJ March 2024

We couldn’t imagine our day without Hudson Horns. They kept the energy high from the beginning of cocktail hour all the way through the encore song at the end of the night. To say they exceeded expectations is a massive understatement. Our phones were ringing off the hook the next day with nonstop compliments received from family and friends. The HH Collective parade from cocktail hour into the reception was a moment we will never forget and it was such a unique touch that set our day apart from any other wedding we’ve ever attended. Actively looking for a reason to hire them again because the HH collective was the best band we’ve ever heard!

-Blaire (Bride)

HH DJ - Brookly, NY February 2024

The eternal question (Band or DJ?!) has been answered. You can have both! Working with Joe in the lead up was easy and fun. He's a pleasure to work with and we had a blast getting to know him. He kept our wedding moving at a good pace - with minimal downtime - and played straight bangers all night long. His chemistry with the Horns brought the party to the next level. People have been talking to us about the DJ/Horn combo since our wedding and it helped to make it an unbelievable night. Can't recommend them enough!

-Savi (Bride)

HH DJ - Brooklyn, NY February 2024

We had 3 musicians from Hudson Horns play along to the music played by our DJ... it was truly the best of both worlds! We were able to play all the music we wanted across a very wide genre by our DJ, and still have the element of live music from Hudson Horns to keep the crowd engaged and dancing. It was unforgettable and we could not recommend Hudson Horns enough!

-Gloria (Bride)

HH Legends - Jersey City, NJ January 2024

We can’t say how much we appreciate HH legends hard work and amazing entertainment. Everybody thought the band sounded epic and the dance floor was packed. We appreciate the musicians stretching their playlist for us, it really came together just like we’d envisioned. HH doesn’t do a karaoke version of music: they have their own incredible take on every song. Their jazz trio during the cocktail hour was also a highlight. If you are planning your wedding you cannot go wrong with this group!!!

- Alexandra (Bride)

HH DJ - Newport, RI December 2023

Sounds Buono & Hudson Horns crushed it on our wedding day. DJ Joel nailed the music; the perfect mix of singalongs and dance hits that made the dance floor lit and energized all night. The accompanying horns (sax, trumpet and drums) from Hudson Horns turned things from amazing to EPIC. What a special touch and it was incredible jamming with them on the dance floor all night. They are the ultimate improvers! We received countless compliments on our dance floor. 5 stars!!

-Brittany (Bride)

HH Legends - Philadelphia, PA December 2023

Having been referred to Hudson Horns by a few of our music teacher friends, we immediately had them at the top of our list. We scoured their website, Instagram, and YouTube for any videos we could find. From top to bottom, every performer was a phenomenal musician in every setting!! Having booked the group, we made our way to NYC to see them live, and boy did we have the best time experiencing their range from jazz standards to Beyonce and Nelly. Rachel was a pleasure to work with, was very responsive, and helped us plan the order of events for the reception to maximize our time with the band. The night of the event was magical. We started seeing the performers come in, set up, and then BAM, get into their fabulous outfits!! Hudson Horns was not just a vendor, they were a PART of our special day, and they MADE the dance floor fire. We had a beautiful ceremony with a solo pianist who played everything we wanted. The combo for cocktail hour was exciting to start livening up the mood while remaining somewhat in the background. Then the top came off and our introduction was an absolute BLAST! Kamal got up on that floor on multiple occasions to 'WOW' our friends and family. The band could have stolen the show, but they did just enough to get everybody excited and moving while still allowing us to feel special. I cannot express enough how much I love this band. They are truly special, and we will cherish every opportunity we get to see them in the future. Do NOT pass on your chance to have them at your event

-Cody and Susie (Bride and Groom)

HH DJ Shrewsburry, NJ December 2023

Hudson Horns were the engine for the party - the bee’s knees, the cat’s pajamas. They created the most electric dance floor at a wedding we had ever seen. The energy was contageous and undeniable. From the moment they orchestrated a second line from the ceremony to the reception, there was magic in the air. Our iteration of the Horns augmented our hired DJ, who they met moments before the show started, but it was it was as if they had been playing together for a decade. The group seamlessly plugged and played on our backyard dance floor on top of Outkast, Daft Punk, the Commodores and everything in between. What makes the Horns different than any old brass band is they flood the dance floor with energy - dancing, limboing, and shouting next to you and your guests. The wedding guests, us included, were blown away. We couldn’t recommend them more.

Unbelievable from start to finish! Coordination was easy, performance was fantastic, the energy was electric. Only complaint -- wish we didn't have to stop the music!! Highly recommend.

- Kevin (Groom)

HH Legends - Brooklyn, NY November 2023

We first heard the Hudson Horns play at a beer hall in Brooklyn back in 2017. When we got engaged years later, we knew we needed them to play at our wedding! The energy they bring into the room is unmatched by any other band or DJ. HH Legends learned a handful of signature songs for us to make our night even more special. Their funk trio during cocktail hour set the tone for our evening perfectly and they played two sets during our reception that kept our guests dancing all night long. We can't recommend them highly enough!

-Alyssa (Bride)

HH Collective and DJ - Manhattan, NYC October 2023

If you want to have the most fun party of all time, hire Hudson Horns. They were extremely organized, professional, and knowledgable throughout the entire process, including giving me recommendations for how to best time and pace the evening. We hired HHDJ to keep the party going during set breaks, which was a highlight of the whole night. I cannot recommend them enough!

-Carm (Bride)

HH Collective - Chester, NY October 2023

Hudson Horns was absolutely incredible and we could not have made a better choice for our wedding weekend! We hired HH to do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they delivered for all three events beyond our incredibly high expectations. Their talent and fun energy really blew us and all our guests away. Leading up to the event, Rachel (the HH manager) was a joy to work with: she was extremely organized, communicative, and kind. THANK YOU to the whole HH team for making our wedding as magical as it was. 10/10 recommend HH for your wedding!!

-Molly (Bride)

HH DJ - Newport, RI October 2023

Hudson Horns and Sounds Buono was easily the best entertainment we could've selected for our wedding. Joe and the Horns work so synchronously together, blending a live, mobile band with the tracks that made people dance for four hours straight. The Horns are something that our guests are still talking about, even weeks after the wedding day. We absolutely recommend Hudson Horns + Sounds Buono for your special day.

- Hannah (Bride)

HH DJ - Portsmouth, RI October 2023

When my husband and I got engaged, one of the first vendors we found was Hudson Horns and we knew immediately that we HAD to have them at our wedding! We went with the HHDJ option with Sounds Buono, and it was the best thing we did at our wedding. We had high expectations and they far exceeded them. We had so many guests coming up to us raving about how good they were. From the entrance parade to the dance floor, they kept the vibes high the entire night and added a unique, fun element to our wedding. Planning with Rachel ahead of time was also seamless, and she was extremely responsive, answering any questions we had. We could not have asked for a better experience with the Horns and would recommend them to anybody!

HH Legends - Brooklyn, NY september 2023

Highly, highly recommend Hudson Horns for your Wedding Band! We had the Hudson Horns Legends and literally every person we talked to after our wedding has raved at how good and how much fun the band was. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and that was my main goal for the reception, for everyone to have fun and DANCE!! Thank you HH!

-Brynn (Bride)

HH Collective - old lyme, ct september 2023

There is no area where Hudson Horns is not a perfect wedding band in every way. Planning, coordination, skill, flair, uniqueness, you name it. We have had so many people compliment their performance at our wedding since our day that it's becoming a running joke at this point.

- Steph (Bride)

HH Collective - Manhattan, NYC September 2023

Hudson Horns are truly the best in the business, would highly recommend them. They sound great, and are also great to work with, 10/10!

-Russell (Groom)

HH Legends - Brooklyn, NY September 2023

We had the Hudson Horn Legends at our wedding in September and our friends and family are still raving about them! The band was absolutely incredible! Everyone was asking us about them! They really made the night! From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception everything was perfect! I wish we had videos to post and share, but everyone I guess was too busy dancing and having an amazing time to take their phones out to capture it! The Hora was wild! Maybe the longest and most energetic one we’ve ever been a part of. We hope someone we know also hire Hudson Horns so we can party with them again! 10/10 would use again!

-Jordan (Groom)

HH DJ Brooklyn, NY August 2023

We had the best time with Hudson Horns at our wedding and our guests LOVED the musicians accompanying the DJ. The musicians are not only talented, they bring a new level of energy to the party! Rachel and the team were great to work with and always responsive and hyper communicative throughout the planning process, up to the big day

- Paige (Bride)

HH Collective Port Jervis, NY August 2023

Hudson Horns made our wedding!! They were a blast, super engaging and talented, and the dance floor was full all night long. We couldn't have asked for anything more for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Working with them to coordinate was seamless and fun. Lastly, their willingness to learn multiple songs and select from their very long list of songs to play was a dream. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about them and we couldn't agree more with all the wonderful things they had to say! We HIGHLY recommend HH for your wedding!

-Lauren (Bride)

HH DJ Livingston Manor, NY August 2023

Hudson Horns were amazing from beginning to end. They made communicating seamless and they DELIVERED on wedding day (HH DJ). They livened up the night and were super talented. I would highly recommend them over and over again!

-Jessica (Bride)

HH DJ Fleischmanns , NY July 2023

Hudson Horns at your wedding is the dream and a few months before our big day, I decided I couldn't live without them. My husband warned me that it was a long shot and I tried to manage my expectations, but the HH team was WONDERFUL. Rachel played a key role in helping us pick the right package, execute the contract, and curate the right musicians that would bring our day to the next level. We chose a package that included 3 musicians to accompany our DJ, but the most magical part was that they started by leading a second-line parade of us and our guests from our Cocktail hour to our reception location. They also made sure the party never stopped with interactive dancing and taking turns beating their drum, and even a conga line around the bonfire. I always knew Hudson Horns would be a memorable part of the night and I'm so glad I booked them. I definitely look forward to working with them again in the future!

-Jenna (Bride)

HH DJ Cold Spring , NY July 2023

The Hudson Horns squad was incredible! We had 4 of them do a hybrid DJ/band thing (with Sounds Buono as DJ who was also awesome!) and the energy on the dance floor was everything we hoped for and more. They did a parade from our cocktail hour over to the dance floor that really set the tone for the whole evening, and then they kept it going with bursts of energy the whole time. Highly, highly recommend.

-Sam (Groom)

HH Collective Jersey City, NJ July 2023

Working with Hudson Horns was seamless from the beginning. Rachel was very patient with us and answered all of our questions prior to signing our contract. She also provided great feedback to us regarding our event timeline, which made it a lot less stressful for me and was very helpful. HH Collective was very accommodating to our music needs/vibe, and they curated THE BEST set lists for our cocktail hour and reception. HH Collective truly went above and beyond our expectations. I was most excited for the music and dance scene at my wedding, and HH made it a dream come true for me. I did not stop dancing for 3 hours straight and had the TIME OF MY LIFE thanks to HH. I am so grateful to them for bringing big energy and making the night a blast for me, my husband, and our guests. You cannot go wrong by hiring HH for your event. Every single guest commented on how awesome our band was. Thank you so much to Rachel and the entire HH Collective ensemble for making our special day the most fun I've ever had at a wedding!

-Erin (Bride)

HH DJ - Brooklyn, NY June 2023

My husband and I made the amazing choice to go will with The Hudson Horns and Sounds Buono (HH DJ) to perform at our wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the the pianist learning special songs for our precessional, to the brass band setting the mood with the smooth jazz hits during our cocktail hour, to the electric dance floor where our guests absolutely had a blast with the band and DJ together, every part of the night was amazing. The brass band awed the crowd from the second cocktail hour started, setting the mood with jazz, funk and soul hits. When it came time to dance, they were able to get all of our guests up and moving, young and old alike. The band playing alongside the DJ brought the best energy and enthusiasm to the dance floor. The drummer in particular really brought the energy! Thank you to the Hudson horns and Sounds Buono for making our night so memorable and fun!!

-Felicia (Bride)

HH DJ - oakdale, NY July 2023

The Hudson Horns were the life of the party for our wedding reception. The march in and out to the song of our choosing was a special touch. The horns were able to improvise with whatever our DJ played, without effort allowing the evening flow, and keeping our guests entertained. So many of our guests raved about them, and it made a huge difference as compared to having just a DJ. If you’re thinking about hiring the Horns, don’t think any longer and hire them for your wedding— you won’t regret it!

-Adam (Groom)

HH DJ Saratoga Springs, ny May 2023

The Hudson Horns were such an amazing addition to our day... they brought to much energy and we had so much fun with them! Rachel was particularly helpful in planning.... and went so far as to help me pull off having HH as a surprise for my husband on our big day! Can not recommend enough!!!

-Meg (Bride)

HH DJ - Westport CT, June 2023

Hands down one of the absolute best experiences of my life! From the start, our number one priority for our Wedding was music and dancing. We did lots of research and went to see many bands, but nothing was quite sticking. But then we had the chance to see HH live in NYC and soon after connect with Joe (Sounds Buono). Our hunt came to a quick halt, as we knew there would be nothing that could match this duo. The entire process leading up to the wedding was super organized & we felt so comfortable working with Joe. Joe is a true expert in the industry and has the master mind that was able to bring our ideas to life, yet also sprinkle in his professional advice on matters we didn't even think of. Going into the day, we knew SB + HH was going to be incredible, but were even shocked ourselves as to how unbelievable the whole experience was. Our goal came true - we had the most epic night ever with a dance floor that DID NOT STOP. Our guests were in complete awe and amazement and are still raving about it weeks after the day. The combination of the horns (who are absolute world-wide professionals) and Joe's jams was unlike anything anyone has ever seen. We are still on cloud 9 and will be reliving this night forever!!

-Alex (Bride)

HH LEGENDS - Darien, CT June 2023

The Hudson Horns were incredible and made our day even more perfect than we ever could have imagined. From east communication and planning to special song requests to ceremony processional / recessional to cocktail hour tunes and bringing the PARTY to the dance floor we could not have been happier with the HH team. We have been getting so many friends and family members asking about the band already if our testament is not enough! The energy was absolutely incredible and we just had the best time on this wonderful day. THANK YOU HUDSON HORNS !!!!

-Julia (Bride)

HH DJ - Catskills, NY May 2023

Sounds Buono and the Hudson Horns were absolutely incredible. We did not leave the dance floor from the moment they started to the last dance. All of our guests had amazing things to say about the music. We had so much fun and can't say enough about what an amazing part of our wedding they were. They are the best!!!

- Breena (Bride)

HH Legends - Manhattan, NY June 2023

HH Legends was a dream! Rachel was easy to work with and the pre wedding process was smooth. The band was SENSATIONAL - they kept our guests dancing all night long! They had a huge range of music from Whitney Houston, B-Gees, Rihanna, Calvin Harris and Frank Sinatra. Highly recommend HH Legends!

-Emily (Bride)

HH LEGENDS - Rye, NY June 2023

HH Legends played at my wedding a few weeks ago and we’re amazing!! The whole wedding was on the dance floor from the second they started. They helped us with a birthday surprise during the father daughter dance and executed the switch in song perfectly. The team was very communicative and helpful throughout the planning processes. Cannot recommend them enough!!!

-Grace (Bride)

HH LEGENDS - Manhattan, NY May 2023

Hudson Horns' Legends was one of the BEST aspects of our wonderful wedding. They kept the party going from start to finish. They were energetic, well dressed, and exceptionally talented. Highly recommend to anyone getting married or looking to throw an amazing party!!

- Elaine (Bride)

HH Brass - Westerly, RI June 2023

We hired Hudson Horns’ Brass band to play at our wedding and they certainly did not disappoint. Communication leading up to the event was straightforward and professional. They were flexible when scheduling their sets and breaks. Their set list was comprehensive but they were still sure to offer numerous new song requests. Their energy during the event was upbeat and infectious, starting from the beginning with their unique entrance. We received countless compliments from our guests during and after the event about the band. We only wish they could’ve played all night! Overall, our experience with them was excellent and we would highly recommend them. In our view, we got what we paid for: a premium band for a premium price.

-Nick (Groom)

HH LEGENDS - Nantucket, MA May 2023

The Hudson Horns performance was the most fun part of our wedding! From the very beginning of wedding planning, we worked with Rachel who was incredibly professional, responsive, and creative. They let us customize and tailor the experience to focus on our priorities, they were interactive with us and our guests, and got our entire group on the dance floor right away. As a bonus, before they finished for the night they played and marched our group to the after party to kick off next phase of the event. Everyone has told us how incredible the music was and we were so happy with everything they did for us. Thank you HH!!

-Kate (Bride)

HH Collective - Montauk, NY May 2023

HH absolutely BROUGHT IT to our wedding! The HH Collective was outstanding from the moment we first engaged them - from their flexibility and communication leading up to the wedding, to the ceremony instrumentalists, cocktail hour brass band, and reception band! They nailed our custom song selections and curated a perfect setlist that was expertly performed. We love HH and are so fortunate to see them again at a friend's wedding the weekend after ours!! Thank you, Hudson Horns!

- Ali (Bride)

HH LEGENDS - Manhattan, NY March 2023

Hudson Horns was absolutely spectacular! They were the talk of our wedding and are the most fantastic entertainers. They were able to learn custom songs for our first dance and reception party. They got our entire wedding party moving on the dance floor!

- Kelsey (Bride)

HH Collective - Lake Tahoe, CA February 2023

There are not enough ways to express our gratitude to Hudson Horns! We told them we felt like we were in the presence of celebrities after watching the wedding promo videos 5000 times 😬). We've never had so many people come up to me with wide eyes and open mouths saying how insane the band was... We were blown away to no surprise, the band not only has the best personalities on the stage, but they are just so exceptionally talented. We felt like we were at a concert, not our wedding! Rachel, the band coordinator is also incredible! So responsive and so kind. Couldn't have done it without her!! Don’t think about it, just book HH!!

-  Priscilla (Bride)

HH Collective - Manhattan, NY February 2023

OMG. What a party. We are still on cloud 9. The band simply delivered beyond what we expected. Everyone had a ball, the day is an actual blur to us, we want to relive it over and over again. We are so grateful and thankful to all of you for adjusting onsite when we needed it and playing the most epic songs and keeping the party going. The band literally gave it there all and looked like they were having fun as well!! You made our vision come to life and we are so grateful to all of you xx

- Veronica (Bride)

HH Collective - Washington DC, November 2022

From the beginning, we knew we didn’t want just any wedding band at our wedding. You know the type: a couple dozen folks who learn the same 50 songs and all swap in and out on a given night. We wanted a band that did gigs together, that had good chemistry, and could be the life of the party. Then we found the Hudson Horns. I hyped them up in my head. I watched all their YouTube videos, their instagrams, and my brother-in-law even went to go see them at a club in NYC. But I’ll be honest: I was worried they wouldn’t be able to meet my inflated expectations. Reader, I’m here to tell you that they surpassed them. They were the consummate professionals from start to finish. Rachel, their manager, was more on top of her shit than we were most of the time. They were low-drama and critically: amazing musicians. Our guests never once left the dance floor and the band featured in nearly everyone’s feedback about the wedding. From a second line parade, to a brass band cocktail hour, to a high-energy horah, to a set that never let up (featuring really amazing horn arrangements on songs like “my own worst enemy”), to a “hey jude” singalong to end the night, to an improv’d set with a Dj at the after party, we threw them curveballs and they hit home runs. Hire the Hudson Horns!! It will be one of your best decisions!

- Rob (Groom)

HH DJ - Beacon, NY December 2022

We partnered with the Hudson Horns through our DJ, Sounds Buono and it was the BEST decision of our entire wedding. We selected two horns and a percussionist and it added a live music element to the wedding, but in a totally unique way. In addition to being incredibly talented, the musicians were SO kind and SO fun! They took a few (well-deserved) breaks, but even with that it felt they were out on the dance floor the entire night and never missed a beat. All night our guests came up to us BLOWN away with the DJ/musician setup and the talent of the musicians. They were so amazing that many of our engaged friends/family are planning on hiring them for their weddings. We are personally pushing for this because we would be absolutely thrilled to enjoy another dance floor with them. I am sure the band is out of this world, but if you are looking for a DJ/band duo highly highly highly recommend working with Sounds Buono and the Hudson Horns together. They were the highlight of our wedding!

- Megan (Bride)

HH DJ - Shrewsbury, NJ November 2022

Hudson Horns are AMAZINGLY talented! Honestly, by the time my husband found them online we had already booked all of our entertainment. However, we could not stop looking at their videos and decided to add them to our special day. I must say this was the BEST decision we could have ever made! From working the logistics with Rachel to the perfect execution on our big day, we cannot thank HH and team enough! Hudson Horns will be a topic of conversation among friends and family for years to come. If you're looking to wow your guests and have an unforgettable time, book them , you will not regret it!

-Lucy (Bride)

HH DJ - Long Island City, NY November 2022

We had the Hudson Horns trio at our wedding and they truly exceeded our wildest expectations. They complemented the dj perfectly and made the whole party have such a fun vibe. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

-Robyn (Bride)

HH DJ - Brooklyn, NY OCtober 2022

Hudson Horns was AWESOME! We had them spiffing with our DJ and brought the level of music and debauchery higher than if we just did a DJ or band. They were interactive and coming in the crowd, but not overly assertive. Working with Rachel was also very easy. Would 1000% recommend as a stand-alone band or an addition with a DJ

-Jacob (Groom)

HH collective - New City, NY October 2022

5 stars does not give this band justice. My husband and I have been avid Hudson horns fans since 2016 (shout out to the Radagast days!) and having them as our wedding band was a dream come true. We chose our wedding day based on their availability and I couldn’t be more grateful that we did. The Hudson Horns team is incredibly organized, thoughtful and went above and beyond to make our wedding seamless. We had a meeting with them prior to the wedding and they helped us map out the entire party. It was such a fun and unique experience leading a second line with Hudson horns from cocktail hour to the reception. Hudson Horns also learned our (unconventional) first dance song as well as a few other pop/punk songs for our requested pop/punk set list and absolutely crushed it! If you are considering Hudson Horns as your wedding band, look no further, they will be the highlight of your wedding day. We love you Hudson Horns!

-Lauren (Bride)

HH collective - Westhampton, NY October 2022

Hudson horns elevated our wedding to feel like a true celebration! The entire process from start to finish was seamless and easy. This is not the first wedding my family has used Hudson Horns for, and they did not disappoint! We recommend Hudson Horns to anyone looking for a great time!

-Kat (Bride)

HH DJ - Brooklyn, NY September 2022

Joe Buono & Hudson Horns Are you looking for absolutely top notch musical vibes at your wedding? Something a little extra special that sits somewhere between a DJ and a full band? Are you looking to work with someone who is kind, funny, accommodating, and willing to work with any level of direction you give (from zero to a few highly curated playlists)? Please waste no further time looking, do yourselves the greatest of favors, and hire Soundsbuono x Hudson Horns. When we first met with Joe over a video call we instantly clicked. He was very clearly a master of his craft, and yet totally laidback and interested in getting to know us. It was a dynamic that put us at ease from that moment through the night of our wedding, when he came over during dinner to chat with us for a few minutes and helped us feel so grounded and in great hands in the midst of it all. Working together to curate the musical attitude of the day with Joe was so easy and fun. We made suggestions, he did the same, and we heard every song that mattered to us alongside some absolute banger surprise sets that blew us away. Enter the Hudson Horns. There is simply nothing better than having a three piece musician posse follow you around the dance floor at your wedding while playing along to the DJ. The Horns surprise entrance to our reception gave a lightning bolt of energy to the evening, totally set the tone, and throughout the night our guests absolutely LOVED dancing, singing, and evening playing their instruments. 15/10. We forever love Joe Del Buono and the Hudson Horns and you undoubtedly will too.

-Marissa (Bride)

HH Collective - Manhattan, Ny october 2022

Did the Hudson Horns make our wedding? YES! While we are a fun couple, and have really fun friends and family, we would not have been able to celebrate the way we wanted to without the Hudson Horns. Even before the wedding, Hudson Horns were a dream vendor to work with; Rachel was a true project manager and kept us on track every step of the way (we often had vendors where we needed to constantly follow up). The wedding was incredible - they played every song we could have wanted, they brought the energy, and made our wedding extra special. I went to Tulane in Nola for college, and the Hudson Horns gave me the secondline of my dreams, walking from cocktail into the reception. It was a huge crowd pleaser/surprise with the guests too! Icing on the cake was having my father-in-law play with the band. He said it was the most fun he's had in 25 years... THAT is saying something!! I would recommend Hudson Horns to any bride and groom that wants to ensure their guests will spend all their time on the dance floor AND feel like they are at a concert - Hudson Horns brings it all

-Lily (Bride)

HH Collective - Oyster Bay, NY September 2022

WOW. We hired Hudson Horns to do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were incredible throughout. They are super open to learn new songs for you and the depth and breadth of songs on their song list is unparalleled. They have an incredible energy and are extremely talented musicians. The walking parade they do is a really unique feature that all my guests were raving about. They are truly the best band ever. Book them

- Emma (Bride)

HH Collective - Katonah, NY September 2022

The best ever. We love the Hudson Horns so much and wanted to share their music with our friends and family, they were by far the most memorable part of our night. They carried the party and have us so much energy that no one ever left the dance floor. We had guests comment they were waiting in line to join the dance floor because it was so full. We will remember dancing together forever. ENCORE!

-  Taryn (Bride)

HH Collective - Cortlandt, ny september 2022

The Hudson Horns will absolutely ALWAYS exceed all expectations. They can perform any song you could ever want, they bring every vibe to get every single person on the dance floor at all times which is exactly what you want at your wedding. All of our guests couldn't say enough good things about them. My father who is a tough cookie about music was insanely excited and happy that we had them at our wedding. I can't wait to be able to see them again be it at Dumbo House or (hopefully) another friends wedding. No one else I would want to rap a milli with.

-  Courtney (Bride)

HH Collective - Brooklyn, ny september 2022

Hudson Horns played at a wedding my sister attended 3 years ago, and to this day, she still raves how amazing they were. So much so, she insisted that we look into having them play at our wedding reception in Brooklyn.

Fast forward 3 years later, and Hudson Horns definitely lived up to their reputation. The planning process was seamless thanks to Rachel and could not have been easier. The band was incredible and had everyone dancing the entire night! All of our guests raved how amazing they were, so much so, they chanted for an encore performance at the end of the night - which Hudson Horns graciously obliged to. The band also helped my husband and I make a grand entrance into the reception by leading us into the reception space while playing "Empire State of Mind" - it was EPIC! Hiring Hudson Horns to play at our reception was the best decision we could have made - and we would recommend them to any couple looking to dance the night away!

-  Michelle (Bride)

HH Collective - Standish, ME August 2022

Starting with a second-line that surprised and delighted all of our guests to get the party going, these guys brought the energy and kept the dance floor packed throughout the night. We knew it was going to be kick-ass from the moment we heard them rehearsing in the mid-afternoon and had to pause our bridal party photos because everyone was looking at each other with wide-eyed “holy shit these guys rock” faces. They delivered and more. Most fun wedding band we’ve ever seen—it’s a shame we couldn’t have been guests at our own wedding.

- Lindsay and Nick (Bride and Groom)

HH DJ - Bristol, ri July 2022

Hudson Horns absolutely made our wedding day. They are of course incredibly talented, but they also added such a special vibe to the night. They were super fun and interactive with our guests and got everyone off their feet and on the dance floor. They were fan favorites among all of our guests. Now we're just trying to figure out how we can cross paths with them again. You need them on your wedding vendor team!

- Sarah (Bride)

HH Collective - Brooklyn July 2022

Hudson Horns were amazing - I lost track of how many times our wedding guests complimented us on the band! Jake and Rachel helped through every step of the planning process. We followed their lead on flow of the event, song selection, etc. We wanted the day to be centered around the PARTY and the band really delivered. All of the music was on point - everything from the romantic song for the first dance, to the wild dance floor JAMS at the end of the night. We couldn’t imagine having a better band for our wedding.

- Chris & Yassi (Groom and Bride)

HH Collective - Stonington, CT July 2022

If we could give Hudson Horns 10 stars we would! We booked HH in 2019 for our 2020 wedding and had to move dates 3 times to get to our 2022 wedding date - the HH team was extremely accommodating and understanding. As for the actual wedding - HH made the whole party! From accommodating a special surprise for the groom aisle music, to funky brass during cocktail hour, the first line into the tent, first dances and playing through the reception - we couldn't get people to sit down! We are beyond thrilled with our decision to hire HH for our wedding day - almost two months later our guests are still talking about how incredible our band was! Thank you HH!

- Regan (Bride)

HH DJ - Newport, RI july 2022

We had the Hudson Horns + Sounds Buono as the entertainment for our wedding and it was the best decision we made! We were torn between a band and a DJ, and were lucky enough to have both! Joe Buono coordinated everything and was as professional as they come! Joe offered suggestions on how to best utilize himself as the DJ, and the Hudson Horns to make the whole day flow seamlessly with the music. I trusted Joe so much that I had him surprise me with all the music for the ceremony. Joe played a perfect mix of old and new on the dance floor and had everyone dancing the entire night! The Hudson Horns were a big surprise at our wedding! Hudson Horns led us into our reception as the Brass Parade and stunned everyone! During our reception, they kept the crown enthralled as they played along with the DJ in the middle of the dance floor. Every single person that we have seen from our wedding has raved about the Hudson Horns. I do not think anyone will forget the HH being at our wedding! The music was very important to my husband and I, and the Hudson Horns + Sounds Buono blew all our expectations out of the water! I cannot thank the Hudson Horns + Sounds Buono enough for helping bring the energy and party to our wedding! I would highly recommend this combo for your entertainment needs!

- Lauren (Bride)

HH Collective - Chadds Ford, PA July 2022

WOW! I knew Hudson Horns would be amazing on the day of our wedding, but they blew the expectations out of the water. All our of guests kept coming up to me in the middle of the wedding asking who you were, they needed to know who this incredible band was! The band playing the processional while we walked behind them with all of our guests was something I'll never forget. Couldn't imagine having any other band on the best day of our lives, thank you HH, you made this day! I don't think we ever stopped dancing the entire night.

- Alexandra (Bride)

HH Collective - Ghent, NY June 2022

Hudson Horns was one of the best vendor decisions we could make for our wedding day! We read all the amazing reviews and watched the videos, but they didn’t do the band justice. Most important, they kept our whole wedding party up and moving on the dance floor all night long. The energy in the room was electric and they added such a fun vibe to the whole evening. So many of our wedding guests came up to us during and after our event to tell us how great they were. On top of all of this, they were so easy to work with leading up to our day. Rachel was terrific - very clear and super responsive to all of our requests. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Hudson Horns, you won’t be disappointed!

- Liz (Bride)

HH Collective - Tarrytown, NY June 2022

Book Hudson Horns NOW!! Hands down the best move we made for our wedding was booking Hudson Horns as our band. My Husband and I saw them play at a wedding 3 years ago and without a doubt they were the best band we have ever heard and when we got engaged we actually booked them before our venue because they were a must have!! And they exceeded ALL expectations on our wedding day. They truly brought the house down and had everyone on their feet the entire night. We even did an entrance with them into our reception and both my husband and I say it was the highlight of our night and our guests have not stopped raving about Hudson Horns since our wedding day. Aside from their amazing performance, they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating leading up to our wedding and the wedding day itself. The planning process with them was completely seamless. Rachel answered all questions efficiently and so quickly which is beyond appreciated. Hudson Horns you are amazing!!

- Sierra (Bride)

HH BRASS - Albany NY June 2022

Greatest band of all time! We revolved our wedding date around Hudson Horns and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. Everything from the ceremony to the reception was flawless- nobody left the dance floor. I wish I could do it all over again! Thank you thank you thank you and we hope to see you again at another event! Sage and Tommy xoxox

HH Collective - Brooklyn, NY June 2022

If you are unsure about a wedding band, look no further than Hudson Horns. Within the first 30 seconds of seeing their videos online we knew we had to book them. We had a feeling that Hudson Horns was going to be incredible, and they absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. The band had us dancing all night. Everyone in the room kept coming up to us all night saying how amazing they were. They played a perfect mix of old and new. We loved the brass parade at the end of the night and we had an absolute blast. We can’t speak highly enough of Hudson Horns. Now stop reading this review and book them for your next event!

- David (Groom)

HH DJ - Brooklyn, June 2022

Hudson Horns absolutely took our wedding day to the next level! We booked the DJ option and they played over the playlist we chose, flawlessly! Songs came to life with the extra added flair of horns and percussion. It was so much fun seeing them interact with all of our guests and kept everyone dancing all night! We can't say enough good things, we're still getting compliments about the band.

- Tyler (Groom)

HH Collective - Philadelphia, pa may 2022

Hudson Horns was - simply put - the best wedding band we've ever seen! Lucky for us, they were at our wedding ;)

They were spectacular in every sense of the word - from the ceremony songs, to the cocktail hour band, to our parade into the reception, and most importantly on the dance floor all night long! They knew what songs to play when, how to keep the mood and vibes of the party going and brought the exact right energy to the dance floor up until the very last note of the night!

We had multiple guests, friends, and family tell us during the evening and for days afterwards that Hudson Horns was the best live band they have ever seen perform. And they were right.

-  Matt (Groom)

HH Collective - Brooklyn, NY may 2022

Hudson Horns absolutely killed it at our wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. They are the most energetic and creative wedding band we’ve ever seen, and all of our guests LOVED them! We gave minimal direction and they knew just the right tone to set throughout the evening. And for the specifications we did have - learning a niche musical theater number for our first dance, a long horah, a brass parade that we needed to shapeshift due to rain - they exceeded our expectations and executed flawlessly. Their emcee’ing was also fantastic and they kept everything flowing nicely. The team was also so kind and responsive throughout the planning process. I would recommend booking Hudson Horns if you really want to wow and entertain your guests - you’re in for an amazing evening!

Hudson Horns were incredible! They traveled to South Carolina for our wedding, and played at our welcome party, ceremony, and reception. From planning to execution, everything was flawless. They are all extremely talented and were so upbeat and fun. The dance floor was packed and all of our guests were raving about them. We couldn't recommend them any more!!

HH DJ - Manhattan, NY February 2022

As a couple, we’ve been to New Orleans multiple times and have fallen in love with the music and culture. Hudson horns was recommended to us by a friend who’s a jazz singer. We fell in love with their style, but were disappointed to find out they weren’t available for our wedding date – then the pandemic hit, and we had to reschedule. We reached out again, and this time they were able to accommodate us! We went with the Horns + DJ package and though we were a little unsure as to how it would work out, we really couldn’t recommend it enough! The musicians from HH brought so much energy to our party and were the most memorable part of the evening by far. Our friends still talk about how much the band elevated their experience! We didn’t really expect our guests to keep the dance floor packed, but every time the energy started to dip, out came our own personal brass band that got people out of their seats and dancing again. The parade entrance was also a highlight and was such a fun surprise for our friends and family that got the party off to an awesome start! We really can’t recommend Hudson Horns enough, they’re awesome at what they do and worth every penny if you want a unique and unforgettable event!

HH Collective - Manhattan, NY April 2022

From the moment we listened to Hudson Horn’s youtube videos, we knew we had to book them for our wedding—and it was the best decision we could have made! The band was absolutely incredible. Not only did we love them — but all of our guests were obsessed with the band too, and many told us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen!! The dance floor was packed all night, which is exactly what we wanted. We also really enjoyed getting to work with Rachel, Jake and the rest of the team, they made planning seamless. Definitely have the band parade guests from cocktail hour to the reception, it’s a fun way to kick off the second part of the night! 12/10 recommend booking Hudson Horns for your wedding, they will make an already amazing and memorable night even more amazing and memorable!

Hudson Horns DJ - Manhattan NY January 2022

Not much to say other than HH crushed it as we knew they would! When we first saw the band out in Long Island City and in DUMBO, we knew we had to have them play at our wedding. Having the HHDJ ensemble was always our vision, and the crew helped bring that to life. The energy and vibe all night was exactly what we were hoping for

Hudson Horns Collective - Weston CT July 2021

Hudson Horns was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. First, everyone who attended raved about them, and said they’d never seen a dance floor fill so quickly— no cheesy covers here just a really excellent band doing groovy renditions of the best songs. Second, the band did a fantastic job learning some pretty complicated song cuts we had to go with our first dance and father-daughter dance choreo (thanks so much HH!!). Testament to how they’re just the best: my sister just booked them for her own wedding next summer— she considered other bands but we all can’t get enough of Hudson Horns. If they’re available for your big day: book them! Hands down the best money we spent on our wedding

Hudson Horns is, without a doubt, one of the most talented, unique, and high-vibe wedding bands you could ever hope to hire. They bring an incredible brass band feel and the band members are true performers. We also hired them to come play alongside the DJ at our after party, which I highly recommend - the guests go nuts for them! Pricing is fair and their booking team is incredibly professional and helpful. You definitely won't regret getting Hudson Horns over the "typical" wedding band, and everyone will remember how unique and awesome they were!

Hudson Horns Collective - Brooklyn NY October 2021

Hudson Horns was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. Even with all of the great reviews, they blew our expectations out of the water. Having had to pick our band during COVID when we couldn’t see any of the performances live, I spent hours researching potential options on youtube, Instagram, etc. and kept coming back to HH – we knew how important the band was to our day and realized that if they were this good on video, they would be amazing in person. All I can say is that they did not disappoint and that they are 100% the best band I’ve ever seen at a wedding (not biased at all!). They are incredibly talented and have unbelievable chemistry that guaranteed that everyone was on the dance floor all night. Beyond their ability to create a fantastic dance party, the entire team was incredibly professional from start to finish and will ensure your wedding night has the very unique touches you want to make it special. From learning our Hamilton inspired first dance song to surprising our guests at cocktail hour with a New Orleans style parade to the reception, HH set the tone right from the very beginning, and I honestly can’t express how thankful I am and how integral they were to making our wedding one of the best nights of our lives.

Hudson Horns Collective - Rye NY October 2021

Hands down the best wedding band out there!!! We were recommended HH by another couple who booked them for their wedding and had the BEST things to say. After watching their YouTube videos, we knew we had to book them for our big day. Let me just say, Hudson Horns did not disappoint! Their sound was incredible and they were so engaged with our guests throughout their performance. We were told all throughout the night (and still to this day) that they were the the best, most talented wedding band people had ever experienced. We tapped into the whole HH experience booking a soloist pianist for our ceremony, a jazz trio for our cocktail hour, and the full brass band for the reception - each group was amazing and provided the perfect, unique vibe for our celebration. Thank you HH for exceeding our expectations and making our wedding so happy and fun!

Hudson Horns Collective - Sloatsburg NY - August 2021

Music was our top priority when planning our wedding and HH was the absolute best decision we could have made. In fact, when covid forced us to reschedule our wedding and our new date didn't work for HH, we moved our entire wedding back a day to accomodate them knowing it would be well worth it (spoiler alert, it was SO WORTH IT).

HH had every single person on the dance floor all night (both young and old, including my 90 year old grandmother). We loved how they played the classics but with their own twist - we loved hearing the blare of the horns :)

HH was also incredibly professional and a dream to work with. Of all vendors we worked with, HH was by far the best in making us feel like a priority despite their busy schedule. Not only that, but when torrential weather threatened our event, Rachel and Jake (band director) had the band travel to our location the night before the event to ensure they arrived on time and safely. We can't tell you how much we appreciated this.

Our guests could not stop talking about how fantastic the Hudson Horns are. We all felt like we had our own private show. We can't wait to see HH play locations in and around NYC so that our party never ends. 

Thank you Jake, Rachel and the rest of the band, we love you!

What a hell of a performance….from the collection of horns escorting the wedding party into the reception, soft background music (during the service and cocktail hour), Jovan’s speech intros, the lead singer’s beautiful serenades during the bride and groom’s dances together and with their parents, then the entire band rocking out the night. Outstanding performance that exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Hudson Horns Collective - Jersey - June 2021

Hudson Horns was absolutely STELLAR! From our initial consultation to the very last minute details, the execution couldn't have gone any better. The music during the ceremony set the mood perfectly. Lots of our guests thought we were just doing a ceremony and a cocktail hour, but HH totally caught everyone off guard by ushering the party into the reception with the brass band. The wedding party entrances were spectacular, and the emcee'ing was superb. All of the music was amazing and you can tell the group has excellent chemistry. I HIGHLY recommend calling HH for your wedding or whatever celebration you're having!

Hudson Horns Collective - City Winery - September 2021

What an experience! My wife’s must have for our wedding day was having the best musical entertainment. It needed to be A1 and the party should never stop. We caught several of their live shows in Manhattan and knew from that moment we needed to sign on the dotted line. Jake & Crew are ridiculously talented. Hudson Horns truly know how to elevate the wedding band experience. Anytime they came on the band stand, the dance floor was packed like it was Tao circa 2019 (before capacity rules were ever a concern). If you are looking for a true concert experience and something completely out of this world, then stop reading this review and request a quote ASAP!!! You won’t regret it!

Music was one of the highest priorities for us when planning our wedding and Hudson Horns was the best, hands down! They were great to work with leading up to the wedding - very responsive, and on top of everything. They brought an amazing energy and vibe to the reception and had people on the dance floor the whole night. They can read the crowd super well, have incredible range, and always know exactly what to play. All of our guests - young and old - were asking about them all night. Other highlights of the night included New Orleans style jazz / funk during our cocktail hour, and the brass parade leading everyone from cocktail hour to the reception. If you’re looking for an amazing, memorable, live band for your wedding, or really any event, go with Hudson Horns - you won’t regret it

-Sarah (Bride)

Hudson Horns DJ - Kent CT - July 2021

Just WOW! Hudson Horns makes magic happen! The energy and skill that they brought to our wedding, was impeccable. Having the horns/bongo right in the center of the dance floor while everyone is moving and grooving truly brings the vibe to the next level. Also, the musicians also brought their fancy footwork and amazing dancing talent. Hudson Horns is so talented and it was a pleasure to work with them. I HIGHLY suggest anyone looking for fun and talented musicians to stop searching and book Hudson Horns! Thank you all for everything, you made our special night oh so magical!

Hudson Horns Collective - Hamptons NY - June 2021

The Hudson Horns was hands-down the best decision we made about our wedding!!!! They were absolutely incredible and everyone was on the dance floor the ENTIRE night. So many people asked us about the band saying that even as guests the HH was the best they've all ever heard

-Allesandra (Bride)

Hudson Horns Collective - Brooklyn NY - May 2021

The Hudson Horns is the best band. Period. Let alone to get that kind of talent, energy, polish and repertoire at your wedding or special event. They're the best of the best. Not only are they a full event group (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), but they also work directly with you to craft the playlist that's best for you. We went right to their specialty, leaning on funk & jazz, but even for our special moments: First dance to Bruce Springstein, some Beatles, and even selections from Calvin Harris and Lit — they brought first-class performances. They watch the guests and overall event plan closely, creating a coordinated schedule while also responding in real time to the vibe and other realities of the moment. Our guests would've stayed all night dancing. All we can say is thank you Hudson Horns for everything! You made the evening.

Hudson Horns was the highlight of our wedding. We decided to move forward with our 20 person wedding after having to postpone for covid and it was the best decision we made. It felt like our private concert and the band is just incredible. BEST DECISION WE MADE.

-Maggie (Bride

Hudson Horns Collective - Brooklyn - September 2017

I first found Hudson Horns while I was at Radegast Beer Hall one night with my then-fiancé. We didn't even have a wedding date set, but I heard this amazing horn band from the other room and looked at my fiancé and said, "thats our band." I ran up and spoke with Jake, got their card, and booked them for our day. They played our wedding on 9/2/17, and could not have been better! 

For us, one of the most important things for our wedding was an amazing, cool band. As music lovers, we really wanted something different, and more interesting and funky and fun than your average wedding cover band.  We gave them a Spotify playlist of New Orleansy, bluesy, and 70's funk songs, just as a kind of general inspiration, and they nailed it. They were so fun and groovy and perfect, and everyone was on their feet all night. Our goal for our wedding was a sweaty dance party and we definitely got it. 

We also wanted a band that everyone from my 90 year old Grandpa to our crazy, music snob friends would enjoy and dance to, and Hudson Horns did it. My grandpa said it was the best wedding he's ever been to, and so many people came to us throughout the night saying it was the best wedding band they ever heard. One of our friends came up to us and said "this wedding is like a concert." Weeks later, friends and family are still telling us how much fun they had, how they googled the band when they got home, and our engaged friends are all booking them for their days too!

All that said, they also played at a perfect volume and great, appropriate tunes while we were eating dinner and during cocktail hour. 

All in all, obviously I can't say enough glowing things about Hudson Horns. Jake was wonderful to work with, and was always very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. Other than marrying my hot husband, they are what I loved most about our wedding!

Hudson Horns Collective - The Hamptons - September 2019

The Hudson Horns were the first vendor we booked for our wedding and we are SO glad we did. After seeing HH perform live at The Django and finding out they did weddings, it was a no brainer. Not only did they completely exceed expectations the night of the wedding (many guests said they were the best band they've heard) but they were an absolute dream to work with! Rachel and team were so accommodating and the musicians themselves were such incredibly nice people. They had the entire party on the dance floor the whole night. Wish we could do it again! I cannot say enough good things about working with Hudson Horns and would find any excuse to work with them again.

- Georgia (Bride)

Hudson Horns Collective - NY - September 2019

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Hudson Horns. My husband had heard them at a bar in Brooklyn long before, and when we realized they did weddings as well it was an obvious choice. Rachel was prompt and informative and SO helpful during the planning process. And day of, everything was absolutely PERFECT. From our parade down the hill from our ceremony to cocktail hour through the entire reception the band had everyone up and dancing the entire time. They happily learned all the songs we needed for our first dance and parent dances and did an amazing job. We are still getting complements from people saying how amazing our band was!!

- Rachel (Bride)

Hudson Horns Collective - Salisbury CT - August 2019

The Hudson Horns knocked it out of the park at our wedding. We have nothing but praise and thanks to give them for making the day a 10/10. The planning: Rachel was extremely attentive and responsive during the entire planning process. She was always willing to hop on the phone and talk through any questions we had. We truly felt at ease with her and knew we had nothing to worry about. The wedding: WOW. Just amazing. The Hudson Horns played during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. They learned a few songs that were special to us and everything sounded perfect. They even led our guests from the cocktail hour to the reception via brass parade, which was so unique and fun. At the reception, they brought the house down. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and people told us again and again how much they loved the band. We have the HH to thank for keeping the energy high all day long. Thank you thank you thank you! We couldn't recommend them enough. If you're considering the Hudson Horns, JUST DO IT. You will not regret it.

Hudson Horns Collective - Charleston South Carolina - May 2019

Hudson Horns is the best wedding band you can hire. Period. I got married in Charleston, South Carolina and as soon as I secured a venue, I started looking at bands. After many Google searches and recommendations from my planner, I still couldn’t find a local band that exceeded my expectations. Most bands that were within driving distance ( mostly Atlanta or Charleston based) we’re extremely skilled in Motown but didn’t have much depth outside of this genre. As soon as I showed the Hudson Horns promo video to my then fiancé, his jaw dropped and he was adamant we reach out to them. We both watched them play at Radegast in Brooklyn and knew they were so skilled in current tunes, but seeing them play some wedding classics really sealed the deal for us. Rachel and Jake were very easy to work with and accommodating. The pianist learned a few new songs for the reception and the entire dance floor went nuts when they played Cardi B. They also did such an a amazing job of reading the room and MCing the entire night. I do believe the responsibilities of an MC can be overlooked but after going to some weddings with minimal direction, a skilled MC/band does make a huge difference. Similarly, Rachel worked with a local audio vendor and I to assure the sound was exceptional. We were able to hear the band perfectly all night long. Hudson Horns was absolutely the best decision of our wedding. We still get compliments about them being the best wedding band and I’m so happy to have such great memories of hearing them play while on the dance floor. Jake and the rest of Hudson Horns- you made my dream wedding day come true. Thank you!

Hudson Horns Brass - Brooklyn - June 2019

I attended a lot of weddings prior to getting married and the two biggest takeaways(outside of the bride and groom) were always the F&B and music. Knowing that going into planning our wedding was critical, so much so that we decided to book a DJ and a band. In a band, we wanted talented entertainers that could keep a very diverse group on the dance floor. After narrowing our selection down to three bands, Hudson Horns won our hearts because of their level of customer service, talent and having a TUBA player(I was a former tuba player in HS). What a great decision it was! Hudson Horns over delivered leading up to our wedding by asking all the right questions, really honing in the vibe we wanted to created. Fast forward to our wedding and they CRUSHED IT! HH had a 4 piece setup during our cocktail hour which really set the tone. As we moved into our reception, the full band unleashed their sound to our audience and what a sound it was! HH had our guests breaking it down on the dance floor. They took us on a sonic journey through NOLA Funk, Motown and all the other classics that we all know and love. What a band! Highly recommend HH to anyone looking to have a dope band at their event. Can’t beat the group’s professionalism, talent and price point. Heartfelt thank you to HH for making our special day so special!

Hudson Horns Collective - Manhattan - February 2019

The Hudson Horns are pure magic! Highly recommend--so many of our wedding guest said that they were the standout of the night (and we agree!). They got the entire room up to dance--tunes for both young and old (which feels rare for a wedding)--and made the high energy in the room. I can't say enough good things about their group. We hired them for ceremony, cocktail hour (trio), and reception, and it was well worth the price. They are incredible musicians, have excellent taste (and style), and are super professional. Not to mention excellent with a crowd. Our guests couldn't get enough and were literally begging them to keep playing at the end of the wedding!

- Jamie & Evan (Bride & Groom)

Hudson Horns Brass - Manhattan - February 2019

Right when we heard them perform at the Soho House we knew we needed to hire them for our wedding. They always have the whole crowd going the whole time and have a great sense of the room. They even learned a few new songs for us last minute to play during our ceremony which made it extra special. We appreciate how accommodating they were for us and we would highly recommend them. We still have folks texting us about how great the band was and asking for their info. You can't go wrong with them!

Hudson Horns Collective wedding June 2018

Now that we are getting back into our normal routines after our honeymoon I have to send you a massive thank you.  You guys were so incredible at our wedding we couldn't believe it. We had the absolute best time and I cant thank you enough for how much thought and planning clearly went into every detail. 

From the perfectly done ceremony music, to cocktail hour to the first dance songs to all the party music, it was absolute perfection, so much fun and we couldn't have asked for anything more. 

When you ended the night with Tweezer reprise, my friends pretty much collapsed on the floor. It was one of the best moments of my life dancing with my friends and family to our favorite song.

We already have a few friends asking for your info and I will continue to refer you to everyone I know. If you ever need a reference or a review written, you know who to ask. 

Thank you again for making our wedding so perfect.

Hudson Horns Collective wedding September 2018

The Hudson Horns Collective played at our camp wedding in September, 2018. From the ceremony, to the second line, through the reception, they absolutely killed it. They brought exactly the brass/funk sound we were going for with the reception, and they even played some salsa when it was requested by some guests. They kept up an amazing energy and vibe through the whole evening, and were generally a pleasure to work with and so so nice. Every single one of our guests commented on how amazing the band was, and two couples even asked for their details because they wanted to book them as well for their weddings. I can say that booking the Hudson Horns was easily the best decision we made during planning.

- Lara (Bride)

Hudson Horns Collective wedding August 2018

The Hudson Horns were an integral part of our wedding! They were incredible--the songs they learned for us were perfect, and everyone raved about them all night (and now, for months afterwards). We appreciated how they rolled with all that the day brought--impending rain, high winds, and our officiants' last-minute request for them to join in the ceremony game. A massive thanks to the entire Horns team for their professionalism, skill, and good humor -- a rare combination, but a killer one! 

- Isaac (Groom)

Hudson Horns Collective wedding July 2018

Having the Hudson Horns at our wedding was easily the best decision we made. Music was such an important part of the wedding for us and we didn't want to go with a typical, cookie-cutter wedding band. When we heard the Hudson Horns live for the first time we knew instantly that they would set our party apart from others and would truly be a standout part of the wedding. It's months later and we still have friends and family compliment us on our choice for wedding band. The Hudson Horns played an amazing mix of old and new songs, fun medley and even some special requests. They learned our musical tastes pretty quickly and we had such a blast partying with them all night long. We used them for not just the reception but for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well. Each section of our special day had a different and unique musical flare. Do yourself a favor and book them NOW !

Hudson Horns COllective wedding June 2018

We want to thank you for an incredible performance at Joe and Kim’s wedding at the Radnor Valley Country Club. Your performance made the night spectacular and forever memorable. The dance floor was packed the entire night!

Many of our guest came over to us, texted, and called to say how amazing the band was, and we agree, a class act!

Hudson Horns Brass Parade -Manhattan- September 2017

Hudson Horns was hands down the most amazing part of our wedding day.  We have had all of our wedding guests still saying "that was a once in a lifetime experience" and "it felt like a movie."  Our reception was a 10 minute walk from the ceremony and instead of shuttling everyone in buses I knew it would be faster and more scenic to walk. I wanted to make the walk fun and festive so I contacted Hudson Horns for help.  They were amazing. They offered so many great ideas to help collaborate to take 200 out of town guests from one location to another in the busy streets of New York with flair.  They even came and met me on site a week before in order to walk the path and talk about songs that would be fun.  After my husband and I walked down the aisle, Hudson Horns surprised our guests and started playing. They guided our guests down the aisle and outside to dance on the steps of the church. We then started our procession across Park Avenue, in front of St. Patricks, through Rockerfeller Center and up the escalators to the Rainbow Room while dancing non stop along the way.  Hudson Horns kept the party going! It felt like a movie dancing down 5th Avenue with tour buses honking and all 200 of my guests dancing on the street.  I would recommend Hudson Horns a thousand times over not only because they know how to keep the energy up, but also because they are reliable, accommodating and all around a wonderful group of artists.

Hudson Horns DJ and Brass - Massachusetts - September 2017

I can't say enough about this band. Prior to the wedding, all of our interactions were pleasant and professional, and Jake and the guys were happy to participate in the planning to ensure our ideas for making the rehearsal dinner and ceremony fun and interactive came to life flawlessly. The actual playing at both events was amazing... Something critical to note: when you book the Hudson Horns, you're not just booking a group of incredibly talented musicians, you're booking a vibe. The vibe these guys bring everywhere they go is palpable. All smiles, killer dance moves, and an interactive experience that will get your grandma on the dance floor. People won't shut up about them, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Hudson Horns Brass - Manhattan - October 2017

From start to finish, working with Hudson Horns was a breeze. They were the ultimate party/wedding band and exactly what we were looking for! They brought the funk and kept everybody moving. We were particularly impressed with how they balanced keeping everybody entertained with letting our crowd mingle and socialize. Their creative twists and takes on covers are unlike anyone else around. Their second line march through the crowd was a show-stopper and blew our guests minds. The icing on the cake was them arranging a brass band version of one of our favorite songs as a couple. Absolute pros and highly recommended!
