Testimonials

Hire this band! Seriously, if you are looking to host the most memorable and entertaining wedding reception, hire this band. The Red Hot Horn Dawgs played our reception in May 2017, and our family and friends continue to talk about how truly amazing they were. Yes, they cost a bit more than a DJ, but consider what you are paying for: A large group of professional musicians who are engaging and know how to get a crowd moving! Not a college student looking to make a little extra money on the side by hitting shuffle on their iphone, but true professionals with experience. Included in the price is the custom arrangement of 3 songs. We chose Handclap by Fitz and the Tantrums, Move by Saint Motel, and Closer by Lemaitre. They knocked each out of the park! We could not have been happier with our decision. We had an amazing night of dancing and partying with our family and friends. You will not regret your decision to hire them!

The band was amazing! We received nothing but complements from our guests, and even guests who don’t like dancing loved staying to watch the show!

“They did amazing! Jaime and Mike were so awesome on the front end, reaching out to us, making recommendations. I saw ex-UW marching band folks and thought, how could we go wrong here? Rolled the dice (because we never saw them) and they put on a better show than we could ever have imagined! Interacted with the crowd...just fantastic musical EVERYTHING!! Everyone enjoyed them sooo much. I highly, HIGHLY recommend. They made the experience so easy and after meeting them knew whatever they did, they were going to do super well. Thank you guys so much!!”

“The Red Hot Horn Dawgs are a high-energy, fun group of talented musicians who have played at our church festival for a number of years. We have invited them back because the festival attendees really enjoy the variety of music played as well as the band’s unique ability to encourage audience participation.”

“The Red Hot Horn Dawgs have been the featured act for 10+ years for our annual National Mustard Day Festival.”

Loved, Loved, Loved this BAND! It was a variation of music and that was great. Only thing I heard people wanted more of was some POLKA’S! This is Wisconsin after all! Have already booked them for our Christmas Party in 2019!

“The Red Hot Horn Dawgs were fabulous. They played for the President’s Dinner and Dance for our association national conference. Our members loved them and danced from beginning to end. Their musical talent and showmanship made them the best band we have ever had for our association conferences. Highly recommend them.”
— Rollie B., Corporate Event
“We can’t put into words how much frigg’n fun these guys (& gal) are. The RHHD’s played our post wedding party. It was quite simply, magical. What brought it to life beyond expectations were these cats. Where their energy comes from I’ve not a clue. COMPLETELY connected with everyone, young & old. The music, personalities, enthusiasm, flexibility, graciousness & sound...folks are still raving. Hire them & you’ll be a party immortal with your pals. The RHHD’s rawk!” ( the video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRIshovDQZw )

“The Red Hot Horn Dawgs played our wedding, and they were fantastic! While planning, they were very easy to work with and accommodated all our requests. They songs specifically for our wedding and were very receptive to our feedback on their set list. Working with them was a very low stress experience! Musically, they knocked it out of the park at our wedding. Very high energy, talented musicians, everyone had a blast. People kept coming up to us asking ‘Where did you find these guys?!’ I highly recommend them!”
— Eric B., Wedding
Thanks for everything! Such a wonderful group of talented performers. We love having you!
— Jessica Chatham, The Edgewater
You were amazing all the way through! You went above and beyond by going to look at the venue ahead of time to make sure you could play in the space, to accommodating our special song. Your music was amazing and engaged the crowd. The bride and groom danced all night, as did many of our guests - the dance floor was packed all night long. We will definitely recommend you to all our friends!
— Anita W., Wedding
Really appreciate your comprehensive play list and ability to identify preferred music ahead of time. Rob was great on communications and information before and after booking, prior to event. We had a lot of great comments from guests. Wish we had more dancing but that’s on us not RHHD. Happy to be a reference for private party prospects. Play on!
— Anonymous, Private Birthday Party
How can I say anything else than “strongly agree” You guys “rock”!
— Cathy Duesterbeck, Duesterbeck's Brewing Company
We’re so glad the Red Hot Horn Dawgs were part of our wedding! We knew we would get a great show, but you went above and beyond. You could have called it quits when we fled the tent [due to a flash flood]. Instead, you got imaginative and stuck with us despite the rain, the limited space, the longer hours, and all the chaos. We had so much fun at our make-shift reception, and you were a huge part of that. The party might have withered without the energy you brought to our wet huddled masses. You had even learned our first dance and parent dance songs without us asking. You totally rocked the Draft House. We received tons of compliments about the band from our guests and even the other bar patrons from downstairs. Thank you!
