Heads Up Penny

Client reviews

Still talking
about that night.

Real experiences from couples, planners and event hosts. In their own words.

“We loved working with Heads Up Penny! Through the planning process, Rushton was responsive, friendly, and accommodating to our various requests and desires. The night of the event, he helped us sort out some last minute first dance questions, played his part as emcee, and the band overall crushed it as far as the main reception was concerned. We've received nothing but rave reviews from guests!”

“When I tell you my wedding guests are STILL talking about how amazing this band was, I'm not kidding!! We got married in September and I can still remember the energy and fun they brought the entire night. The dance started packed, and stayed packed all night! They even nailed singing a cover of our first dance song. Highly recommend!”

“We booked our wedding with Heads up Penny through East Coast entertainment! Had great communication with Hank from the start. The band absolutely exceeded our expectations! They were kind off the stage and had the dance floor full my whole wedding night! Even let the bride and groom join in for a song! Would definitely recommend! Wouldn't change a thing!”

“Awesome band! I mean really really good. They played my son's wedding last night at Wrightsville Manor and they kept every guest on the dance floor for hours. They played different genre's and speed. They created a lot of positive energy.”

“The band was phenomenal. They were such a pleasure to work with. Aside from their prompt set up, communication and politeness, they were also AMAZING performers. Every. Single. Song. was on point!!! The bride did not leave the dancefloor all night and all of the guests had a blast. We actually loved them so much that Heads up Penny is officially on our preferred vendor list!”

“Heads Up Penny was incredible! All of my guests (and myself and my husband) were on the dance floor all night! The lead singer ended up getting Covid the week of the wedding, but they found someone to fill in and their other band member, Jen, stepped up as the lead singer and emcee. She was just amazing, not to mention an outstanding saxophone player. HUP was upfront and honest about this and made sure they had a solution. I am so thankful for their calm energy! The band worked so hard to make sure my wedding day went off without a hitch despite dealing with problems that were out of their control. Book HUP! You won't regret it!! And you won't stop dancing!”

“We booked Heads Up Penny for our June wedding in Fredericksburg, VA and could not be more happy with our decision! The band was the absolute life of the party and played such a fun mix of music. Guests had so many positive things to say throughout the night and following the wedding, they made the reception what it was. They were professional and so easy to work with - 10/10 would recommend!”
