When it comes to playing fun exciting music, there can be only one choice... The Hype!

The Hype have performed for numerous Weddings, Parties (including anniversaries, birthdays, engagements and more) and Corporate Events all over the UK... See their 'Previous Feedback' below to see just how well received The Hype have been.

Wedding Package: Because The Hype realise that every Wedding is different they are happy to build a bespoke package just for you. This has proven extremely popular with many couples and could include:

• Earlier Set-Up - to avoid disturbing the ambience if everything is taking place in the same room
• Late Finish - whilst most venues are licensed until midnight, The Hype realise that some are fine to continue the celebrations until 1am or 2am.
• Personalised Set-List - the guys are happy to build their set-list to ensure that only the songs you want to hear will be performed at your Wedding
• First Dance - wherever possible, The Hype will learn your first dance song providing enough prior notice is given and the song is within the style of the band. If this is not possible The Hype would be happy to play your first dance via their PA / DJ equipment  
• DJ service - to help minimise costs The Hype are able to provide a DJ option (with PA and lighting) to ensure that when they aren't performing the party will carry on! This means that requests can be taken from the 1000's of song choices that the guys will have available
• Additional Sets - The Hype are happy to perform for 2 x 60 minutes, 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 40 minutes as standard. However, they may extend this and add extra sets or longer lengths, i.e. 2 x 70 minute sets, where required 

Please Note: As standard, and at no extra fee,  The Hype will  provide party music before, in between and after their performances.

Polly Hale, Wedding, Chichester, West Sussex
Hi Tracey, It would be unjust not to post a review of The Hype as they were simply fantastic at our wedding - prompt, organised, polite, flexible in unforseen weather, and most importanty the music was perfect, just what we wanted. Many people asked us where we found them and business cards were distributed so I may be seeing them at a few family weddings and parties next year! I have reccomended them, as well as your website which has so much music to choose from, to everyone. Thank you!

Kirsty Fillingham, Wedding, Clevedon, North Somerset
Hi Matt, The band were fantastic and made our evening - they did exactly what we wanted and were really friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others!

Will Tucker, Wedding, Upwaltham Barns
Dear Tracey, Sorry its taken a while to get back to you, here is our review. The Hype absolutely set our wedding alight with their music, a brilliant mix of classic Wedding Rock (Mustang Sally) through to modern Indy Classics like Sex on Fire. The three guys were patient and polite waiting for our caterers to clear out and were worth the wait. Every single guest who could move (and some who couldn't) got on the dancefloor and the band were universally praised by our guests including several 'cool' teenagers. Highly highly recommended. Hope this helps them get many future gigs, they were brilliant. Thanks for your help.

Samuel & Zowie Crocker, Wedding, Somerset
Hi Tracey, Sorry for not emailing sooner we have just got back from our honeymoon. I would just like to say how pleased we were with The Hype. They were amazing. They were professional, friendly, good with the drunk people and their music was outstanding. They made our day complete. I would definatley hire them again. We had so many comments on how good they were and where did I find them as people would want to hire them. We were so pleased I cant speak more highly of them. Thank you so much again.

Karen Green, Wedding, Washingborough Hall, Lincoln
Hi Tracey, Thanks for your note. I can’t express how happy we were with the band. Without a doubt, they made the whole night. Everyone was and still is raving about how great they were and what a brilliant atmosphere they created. They were the highlight of the day... amazing!!! We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again or recommend them to friends. I also just wanted to thank you and the band for the great service we received throughout the whole process. Although we were very nervous about just ‘picking a band off the internet’ without hearing them play live before, the prompt, professional and personal service we received on the run up to the wedding dispersed any concerns we had and it turned out to be the best decision we made! Please pass on our thanks to the band and hopefully we’ll have the opportunity to hear them play again in the future.

Helen Routledge, Wedding, Sutton Bonington, Loughborough
Thanks Tracey, we had a lovely day and it was finished off perfectly by the band. We only had a small wedding, but everyone commented on how great the band were, they managed to get everyone up and dancing and even two weeks on I am still receiving compliments about them. They Hype were professional, well presented, and sounded amazing. I would highly reccomend them to anyone looking to create a great party atmosphere. All the best.

Cait and Jamie, Wedding, Stoke Place, Buckinghamshire
Hi Matt, Apologies for the delay in sending our thanks for the Hype for our wedding on May 2nd - it has been crazy since we got back from our honeymoon. Jamie and I can't thank The Hype enough for their fantastic performance at our wedding, they far exceeded our expectations!  We received so many lovely comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed their performances, and have passed your details onto a few guests that are getting married themselves in the next couple of years.  Any band that manages to encourage many of our normally conservative family to take their clothes off to the music have done a great job in my eyes! Please pass along our thanks.

Suzanne Davison, Wedding
Hi Tracey, We were most definitely happy with the Hype - they were absolutely brilliant and just what we were after. We only had positive comments from all our guests too and have been asked to pass on their details. Would be happy to do an 'official' comment if needed? Thanks Tracey - I wonder if they'll be free for our 1st year anniversary party in our garden?! Although, dont know what the neighbours would think of that?!

Chris Willis, Wedding, Wiltshire
Hi Tracey, Thanks for your email. We have been really satisfied with your service throughout and the band was amazing. We would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely use them again. They are really talanted guys and great with the audience. Please let them know how great everyone thought they were. Many thanks.

Anthony Groves, Corporate Event, Royal Norfolk Showground
The Hype were the evening - they got the whole party started and are an incredibly talented group. Highly recommended and very good performers.

Amanda Sperring, Wedding, Somerset
Hi Matt, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we have only just got back from our honeymoon! Just wanted to to say a HUGE thanks for helping us to find The Hype to play at our wedding! They were outstanding! My main worry in all of the wedding planning was that the dance floor would be empty and that the evening reception would be a bit of a disappointment. There was no chance of that though, and I'm sure that it was all down to the band. They had such amazing energy, were so friendly and completly professional. They didn't mind when I (the bride) and some friends stormed the stage to take over the mic for a number of songs! Fortunately I think they were quick enough to mute our mic, and left Rob to do the singing, but they happily left us to hold the mic regardless! One of the top memories of the night was when bride and groom took to the mic to sing the whole of 'Sex on Fire', we will always remember that! All of our guests were asking where we found them and who they were, everyone was very impressed. Nobody wanted the night to end and the guys were really patient with us and did respond to the endless shouts for MORE! All of the staff at the venue commented that they had never seen such a lively evening do! If anyone wants to be sure the dancefloor is packed all night I would HIGHLY recommend The Hype. Thanks so much to the guys, they were champions!

Avril Withyman, 40th Party, Clevedon
Hi Matt, Sorry its taken so long to reply! The Boys were fantastic, not a fault all night. The comments from everyone was of how good they were, very professional, couldn't believe how many varied songs and no slip-ups. The boys were very polite and very easy going. I believe the club owner was interested in using them in the future and we also were asked for their details for a possible event. Thank you boys for a memorable 40th.

Amanda Beveridge, 18th Birthday Party, Salisbury, Wiltshire
Hi Tracey, The Hype were fantastic!! I can't praise them highly enough. My daughter just found them on your website and they were exactly what we were looking for. We had so many compliments about them and the kids just loved every single minute - especially the girls!! They fitted around us and although the party was quite raucous, they were totally professional. Please pass our thanks onto the guys. They made the party a very special evening! Many thanks.

Nicky and Matt Cobden, Wedding, Aldermaston, Berkshire
Hi Matt, Just wanted to drop you a line and say how fantastic The Hype were at our wedding on 6th March. No song was too much trouble and everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the songs they played. You couldn’t help but get up and dance! I understand that one of our friends will be booking them for their wedding later on in the year. No request was too much trouble and they were happy to set up early and hang around till the evening performance. Thank-you for suggesting them. They really made the evening and were the perfect style of band for us. I wouldn’t hesitate in hiring them for another event. Wishing them (and you!) every success in the future. I have attached a couple of photos for you!

Amanda &  Pierre, Wedding, Mannings Heath Hotel, Sussex
Hi Charlotte, I just wanted to say thanks so much for arranging for The Hype to play at our wedding, they were superb! The band made the evening for us and our guests! The music from start to finish was fantastic and the band looked to be having as much fun as we were! I would reccomend them in a flash! Thanks again.

Patrick Moynagh - Undergraduate President, University Event, Kent
Hi Tracey, I would just like to sat a massive thank you to your agency and the Guys for making it a night to remember! The lads were really professional in their dealings with my team and our guests loved them. On the night we had over 240 people in attendance and our guests completed comment forms after the event, many of which described The Hype as 'AWESOME' and 'Excellent'. We had a range of entertainment on the night but the Hype was definitely one of the highlights! I step down from my role as President in the coming weeks but I will be most certainly be recommending Warble entertainment to my successor and indeed I'll definitely be holding onto your contact details myself for the next time I'm involved in an event! Best wishes for the future.

Patrick Moynagh - Undergraduate President, University Event, Kent
Hi Jon, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you so much for your fantastic performance on Friday night. Everyone absolutely loved it! I was very impressed with your professionalism and the way in which you interacted with my team throughout the night. I hope you guys found us to be okay to deal with, apologies for not getting to thank you personally at the end of the night. The guy who collapsed on the stairs in fine thank God, I think it was a mixture of too much drink and that he sustained some sort of sports injury recently, thanks for your help when it happened! I will indeed be dropping Warble an e-mail about your performance soon, probably this evening as I have a few meetings now. All positive of course. My term as President comes to an end in the next few weeks but I will definitely hold on to your contact details for future events that I may be involved in. I also work for some government and European agencies and they are always throwing some sort of event or another. Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best for the future!

John Cracknell, 30th Birthday Party, Maidstone, Kent
Hi Matt, The guys were absolutely fantastic, the crowd were loving it and it really made our night! Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants an up to date, crowd pleasing band. Thanks for a great band that made a great night!

Sara Naguib, Charity Event, Birmingham
Hi Matt, Hope you are well and had a great weekend. I just wanted to get in touch to feedback about Saturday night. Thank you so much for providing us with the Hype- they were amazing! They are so talented and were wonderful to have around. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band to get the party started! There were also lots of comments about how good looking they are!! I will definitely come to you next time we need entertainment for an event. Thanks again!

Adam Barber, Wedding, Caverswall Castle, Staffordshire
Hi Tracey, Thank you for the congratulations note. The day was perfect and we've since had a fantastic time on honeymoon in Australia. The band were brilliant and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. In fact, I've already been asked by one of our guests who plans to get married later this year for their contact details!! Thanks again and all the best for the future.

Craig Andrews, Christmas Party, Lincolnshire
Hi Tracey, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for assisting me in booking The Hype, the night was a huge success and undoubtedly largely down to the band themselves, they were friendly, helpful and professional throughout the evening. All the guests were commenting on how good they were and asking where I found them. Everyone had a fantastic night and would certainly not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else. The weather conditions on the night were appalling with heavy snow making travelling conditions treacherous, but all the band members managed to get to us and kept us informed of their progress on the road. Once again many thanks to all of them and to Warble entertainment.

Mads & Nat, Wedding, Leasowe Castle, Wirral
Hi Matt, Sorry for the delay in my reply, we have just returned from our honeymoon. The Hype played at our wedding on October 18th at Leasowe Castle. What can I say about The Hype?! well they left me speechless, literally!!!! I'd be singing along all night that I did in fact lose my voice. They were brilliant, they kept the dance floor busy all night, everyone had a fantastic time and a lot of guests were very impressed with the band, they played a good mix of music to suit everyone and had an abundance of energy and talent. They were very professional lads. I'd like to recommend the Hype to anyone planning a party, the guys are great! Thanks guys for adding too what was the best day of our lives so far, we wish you continued success and we will definitely let you know if we have another party.

Cheryl Wilson, Wedding, Standard Triumph Club, Coventry
Hi Tracey, Thank you for your message. I would like to say how fantastic the band were. They really made the night, all our guests were commenting on how good they were, a lovely bunch of lads I would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their party, I hope they will get some more bookings through some friends of ours who will be having weddings or parties in the future as we'd love to see them again! I hope you can add this comment to their profile as they really deserve the credit! Thanks again.

Kath Bewick, 18th Party, Aberdeenshire
Hi Matt, The boys were fantastic and gave everyone a great night!! They need to write a hit song because they deserve to have a good break and let the world know how good their talent is!! I hope they are back safe and sound and give them our best. We will send them pictures through your good self as soon as the photographer gets them to me. Again they are well mannered good lads and worth their weight in gold!

Jenny Matthews, 21st Party, Whitchurch, Shropshire
Hi Matt, Thanks we had an absolutely brilliant time. Firstly can I say thank you for immediately getting back in touch with me when The Hype were suddenly available. Secondly they were totally what I wanted for my son's 21st. They were really nice blokes as well as being an amazing band. Everyone is asking where we got them from! Could not have asked for anything better. The shouts of 'one more tune' at the end of the night were rewarded with another three! Everyone loved them. Once again thanks.

Garry Prentice, Club Eden, Birmingham
Hi Matt, they were very good and we will be booking them again in the future.

Julie Brown, Joint 50th Party, Potton, Bedfordshire
Hi Tracey, I don’t know where to start. The Hype were fantastic at our party last Saturday. The guys were polite, professional and friendly. During the evening and afterwards we had lots of people complimenting them and asking about them. They played tremendously well and the dance floor was full from the start, no one wanted the evening to end. The mix of music was just right. They were a pleasure to meet and we will definitely be booking them in the future. Please pass on our thanks to them.

Julie Thwaites, 50th Party, I-Bar, Grimbsy, Lincolnshire
Hi Matt, The Hype were awesome!!! A terrific bunch of guys who were superb musicians and very accommodating - nothing seemed to much trouble for them - very unassuming and polite. Everyone at the party thought they were brilliant. I would highly recommend them for any occasion as they were complete professionals and I really appreciated the phone call to say they were caught up in traffic on the motorway and may not arrive on time - that said they were just 10 mins behind schedule which given the distance they travelled for us was nothing. BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT AND BRILLIANT AGAIN.

Rachael Huxley, 21st Party, Shropshire
Hi Matt, Just to let you know The Hype were absolutely fantastic for Charlies 21st birthday party.  We were very impressed with the professional way they conducted the whole evening, as soon as they started playing the dance floor was full and stayed like that until the end of the evening, great music and a fun night for everyone. I would have no hesitation in recomending Warble Entertainment to any of my friends. Thank you.

James McElhone, 30th Birthday Party, Cambridgeshire 
Hi Tracey, Thanks very much for the email. It must be said that the Hype were absolutely superb and really made the party for me and all guests. We were probably a little more 'interactive' with the band than should have been in the second half but the band were great. The music was great varied and every song played perfect to the original but with energy and a nice slant - they added there own style. In fact a friend of mine who was here wanted to book them for his wedding there and then (unfortunately the guys were busy). The guys were extremely polite and professional and genuinely nice guys. My own negative comment is that they are too good looking and nearly stole our girlfriends!! (hehe). Please make sure this gets through to them all with a massive thanks. Feel free to use me as a reference for any future bookings or potential bookings. Many thanks and I will be straight to you to book the Hype for the next event.

Jo & Sach, Wedding, Chateau Lagorce, Bordeaux, France
Morning Matt. What can I say? The guys were FANTASTIC! Honestly, we had so many people come up to us to ask where we found them. The boys were polite, courteous, discreet when setting up, and really really nice guys. They played phenomenally well, we were absolutely blown away, they sounded incredible and I’ve never seen our friends and family hit the dancefloor with such gusto – the guys got the place rocking and had exactly the right balance of music at the right time. They sounded amazing, can really sing – why haven’t they been signed up for a label?????  Definitely a boy band for the future it was a pleasure to have them part of our wedding. Even their rapport in between songs / requests etc, was spot on – they are so confident, and they had taken so much time and effort before the wedding to rehearse new songs and ideas (ie the hokey kokey, which went down a storm after copious bottles of vino!). We would get Hype along every time; they are a huge credit to your agency, Matt. Please pass on our note of thanks.

Lena Karsten, Wedding, Sussex
Hi Matt, Thank you! The Hype were not only extremely likeable and nice to have around but also very very good. Personally, I didn't miss a single song and danced through all 3 sets. Thank you so much for putting us in touch with them!!!

Jemma Stevens, Surprise 30th Birthday Party, Bristol
Hi Matt, The Hype were amazing and we will definately use them again for future functions. Everyone enjoyed the party and it's fair to say they were the highlight of the evening. Thank you so much!

Shane Lovric, Oakridge Golf Club, Nuneaton
Hello Matt, Many thanks for introducing us to such a great act, everyone had a great night, the band are very talented and extremely professional and well mannered. Thank you!!

Barry Jones, Yew Tree Inn, Birmingham
Hi Matt, the long and short of it is that The Hype were great! I've heard nothing but good things about the lads from customers and staff. Thanks for your help.
