Words cannot express how much we LOVE you guys and how memorable you all made our wedding day!  You rocked the crowd and had EVERYONE on their feet! You are all so amazingly talented, and it shows how much you all love what you do! That "It" factor you hear people talk about, well, Hot Pursuit's got "It"! The advice we have now for anyone planning a wedding: Call Hot Pursuit and see when their available and THEN book everything else!

I am writing to thank you and Hot Pursuit for doing an incredible job at our wedding on July 3, 2008 in Norwood, NJ.

As you are well aware of, choosing a band can be an extremely difficult and tedious process for those involved in planning a wedding. From the first step of this process, you helped to create a comfortable relationship between you and all of the parties involved in this process (my wife and I, my father, and my mother in-law). I can say that for me, this was a necessary quality that I was looking for in a band leader to run our affair. Your patience, sensitivity to peoples feelings, and your willingness to accommodate any and all requests that we had truly make you an outstanding person in this business. Click Here to read more.

Dear Hot Pursuit (Lisa),

Joe and I wanted to thank you dearly for playing at our November 12th wedding. You were phenomenal! I can't even count how many guests told me how great the band was! We thought our wedding song couldn't have sounded any better even with Otis Redding singing it himself! I know Joe especially enjoyed singing James brown "I Feel Good." We just wanted to say how wonderful you were! Thank you!

Hi Lisa,

I always knew that I wanted a band to play at my wedding, but had a difficult time finding one that my husband and I both loved.  After hearing many bands, and continually leaving disappointed, my husband and I were ready to give up and book a dj.  Luckily, I fell upon Hot Pursuit through LIweddings.com.  I heard their audio samples on their website, and instantly fell in love.  With four lead singers, each with their own unique artistic abilities, and an amazing group of instrumental musicians, this band has it all!  We head them play a demo live, and eagerly booked them.  Working with the band leader, Lisa, was a wonderful experience.  She was professional, attentive to our needs, and honest with us throughout all of our musical planning.  Hot Pursuit mad our wedding reception incredible.  They kept our guests dancing all night long.  They made their presence known, but did not overpower the room.  They also interacted with the crowd, which was so much fun.  My husband and I did not want to leave the dance floor for one minute.  This band took our musical requests seriously.  They played songs that matched our style, and even learned three songs for us as well.  Everyone was so impressed.  I am positive that many of my friends will book Hot Pursuit for their weddings.  I cannot wait to hear them again.  Booking this band for our wedding was one of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding. 

Gratefully,

Hi Lisa,

Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing night on saturday. You guys were in a word: AMAZING! Everyone commented on how great the music was. When you sang the Beatles' song that Aden and his mom danced to... ah, beautiful. One friend said that it was great to hear a band that went from the Hora to Justin Timberlake to the Beatles. Simply wonderful!

A hearty thank you from all the Weiss' and the Bronsteins. You guys were fan-freakin-tastic!

Dear Lisa and Hot Pursuit,

Larry and I cannot even begin to express our thanks for performing at our wedding at the NY Botanical Garden on October 22. Guests of all ages and generations are RAVING how fabulous our band was. (But we already knew that!). You were really able to "read the crowd" and play to the audience, even if it diverged from our play list. ( How were we supposed to know Justin Timberlake would be so popular with our younger guests?!!!).

Also I would like to thank you for the incredible gift of having the saxophonist perform for our first song. How my heart leapt with joy when I saw him up there with the rest of the band. Of course he was beyond amazing. And Frank...well, anyone who can transition so effortlessly from Sinatra to Bon Jovi, is a man of incredible talent.

Our only regrets are that we were so caught up in the excitement that we could not thank each and every band personally and we only plan on getting married once! We will definitely refer you to all our friends and family in hope that we can see you perform again soon!

Thanks a million

Hi Lisa,

I wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful job that you and the band did at our wedding. We just got back from our honeymoon a few days ago, and the first thing everyone we've seen or spoken to since we've returned has said was how much they LOVED the band at our wedding. You were all amazing. What I keep thinking about now that it is over is that the band executed exactly what you said they would by keeping everyone on the dance floor all night!

As my Dad said, it is very rare that the dance floor of a wedding is packed all the way thru the last song of the night-and ours was. We really can't say enough how grateful we are for the wonderful role that Hot Pursuit played in our special day and the amazing memories we will have for a lifetime. As soon as we get some pictures back I'd be happy to post one along with our testimonial to your website.

I would recommend the band to anyone for anything. As a matter of fact, the Executive Director of the organization that I work for (who was at the wedding) was asking about the band to think about hiring you for the Black Tie Gala fundraiser that we host as in the Spring. She is away on business now, but I told her I'd give her your contact info when she returns.

Thank you again for everything!

Hello Lisa, Sal and all Hot Pursuit Musicians,

Breffni and I heard about your band from a friend. When we saw the DVD and spoke with the both of you, we were immediately impressed. From day one you made us feel comfortable with your knowledge, patience and talent. All of our friends said their bands did not play many of the requested songs, so we were prepared for it. To our surprise, every time I spoke with either of you, you knew so many of the songs we really wanted and assured us you would do your best to make our day so special.

Well, you proved our friends wrong, because you played so many of our requests, we were amazed. Song after song, the crowd was all over the floor and overwhelmed with the energy and talent of Hot Pursuit.

Thanks so much for making our party so much fun and so memorable for not only us, but our guests as well.

Good luck in the future and we will be sure to pass the word around about how great you guys are!

Take care,
Maria and Breffni Kennedy

To Lisa, Sal and all of the band members --

You will of course receive a formal thank you, but I could not wait to tell you that hiring Hot Pursuit was the very best wedding decision that we could have made. People who didn't attend the wedding heard how incredible you all are and those who did attend have called my family to say that you were the best band that they heard at a wedding EVER.

From the time that Dan and I heard you warming up, to our first dance song, to our tarantella/hava negila mix to our last song - it was so perfect. I especially loved it when you came into the crowd to sing!

Thank you, thank you, thank you one million times over. You made our day beyond anything we imagined - we had so much fun thanks in very large part to all of you.

Sincerely yours,
Melissa Montemale

Dear Lisa, Frank, and the entire Hot Pursuit ensemble,

Both Kerri and I apologize for taking this long to send you a huge thank you. We had a wonderful time at our wedding due in no small part to Hot Pursuit.

All of you were wonderful and made the night very memorable. The music was great and everyone was on the dance floor throughout the entire night. Both Kerri and I have received and continue to receive compliments about Hot Pursuit and the music of the night. So many people have told us that you guys were great and the best wedding band they have ever heard. Of course Kerri and I already knew that!

Our wedding song sounded better than the original and I wanted to send a big thank you out to Frank and Sal for doing such a great job. Our first dance and the music that Hot Pursuit provided for it will always be remembered by Kerri and I.

We also wanted to thank you for inviting/allowing her father to play a few songs with you. I know it meant a lot to Kerri and her family to see her Dad have such a unique part in the wedding.

The only sad part about the evening was that it had to end and with that your music. However, both of us are looking forward to my sisters wedding in December 2006 where Hot Pursuit will provide the best entertainment available and rock the house once again!

Love,
KerriAnn and Erik MacEwen

Lisa, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I can not fully express our gratitude for you and your wonderful group of musicians for playing at our wedding. All of you are magnificent, talented entertainers and exponentially better than most so-called "popular" bands we hear on the radio today. The band was AWESOME and all our guests are still singing your praises. You were part of making our wedding day as fun and amazing as we had hoped it would be. We will always remember that day happily, in part to Hot Pursuit. I'm so glad you had a good time too. I would recommend Hot Pursuit to anyone who asked in a heartbeat.

Thanks to all again,

Dear Lisa, Sal, and the Gang,
There aren't enough words to thank you for bringing our wedding celebration to a level we never thought possible. It is one month after our wedding and the calls keep pouring in about "our band". All we hear from our guests is "that was the best band we have ever heard". We have friends referring friends now, so get ready for a lot of calls. You promised us an affair to remember, and you delivered ten fold. You were all so professional and accomodating to everyone of our needs. You really care and it shows. I want you to know that I am a very difficult person to please and I only seek out the best. Well, let me say that we not only got the best, we got perfection! I want to get married all over again just to hear you perform. Keep on rocking and rolling and doing what you were all given a gift to do-ENTERTAIN!!!
All Our Best,

Dina and Ryan Capasso
