We discovered that one of the 15 upcoming wedding trends that’s changing everything is “live bands over DJs”.
We’ve always known that a live band is the way to go, and not because we happen to be biased, but because we have heard so many times that live music brings things to LIFE.
You rarely hear how the wedding reception was so incredible, that the rendition the DJ did of some song was perfect, however, you do hear that the band kept people dancing, and covered songs in a way that a person loved even better than the original artist.
Nothing against DJs, they are certainly handy in specific situations, but in almost ALL situations, bands leave a lasting impression on your attendees.
Let’s talk about booking Hot As A Pepper for your wedding reception, and how we can customize the experience to suit your every need.
We are available in SC, TN, GA, NC and surrounding areas in addition to our home of Upstate / Greenville, SC.
Here’s the 15 upcoming trends article for you to read:

The weekend was a beautiful preview of what spring has in store for us with temps almost touching 70 degrees.
It has some of you thinking about throwing a neighborhood block party or other outdoor event, and what goes perfect with parties? Hot As A Pepper! We’re ready to play for your individual gathering or your multi-neighbor party.
Why book a band for your block party? Because live entertainment builds excitement and energy. It can get people dancing and interacting in ways a boom box can’t!
Bands are fun and dynamic, take requests and help keep the momentum going.
What does a band need from you?
- A level place to setup. Hopefully 10×12 ft or larger.
- Cover for the band and equipment is always nice in case of rain, or to help prevent sun stroke if in the heat of a summer day.
- Reliable power in the form of a 20 Amp outlet nearby, or a couple 15 Amp circuits.
- Neighbors who are understanding that sound actually extends past your property line.
- Food and beverages – don’t forget to feed your entertainment, they perform better!
- Clear communication regarding setup, start and end times.
How much does it cost to hire a band for a block party? That depends on several factors.
How long do you need entertainment for? Are you providing the sound system or is the band? If it is going be at night, are lights going to be desired? Do you want an actual stage?
If you would like to talk about the details, please give us a call at 864.979.1224 or use our CONTACT FORM. We will be happy to give you a quote, and we can also handle every last detail of the entertainment for you, so you don’t even have to think about anything other than what potato salad recipe to use!
We travel within a few hours of the Greenville and Upstate SC area!
Hot As A Pepper loves playing wedding receptions and parties! Why? Because we get to hang out with people who want nothing more than to have fun, and more importantly, we get to share in a very special moment in a couple’s lives!
One couple, Todd & Joy, had seen our band perform at one of our favorite venues to play (The Spot on The Alley in Seneca) and decided that we would compliment their wedding day well, so they booked us for the wedding reception.
Their wedding director, Dee, was incredible, tending to every last detail, and making the venue (The Lighthouse) look more beautiful than it ever had for other events we have played there.
My Daughter, Megan Hoyt, played piano for the ceremony music and afterwards, sang and played piano and guitar for the cocktail hour music. I even sat in with Chris Eller to accompany her on a couple songs.
Then, Hot As A Pepper fired up and played a few special songs we had learned for the bride and groom’s first dance and the father/daughter dance, etc…. After which we saw a non-stop dance party until the last chords rang out. During the breaks we kept the crowd going with some popular line dance songs that had been requested.
Mission accomplished! It was an amazing night for the band!
Yesterday, we received this posting from the newlyweds on our Facebook Page:
Todd Scharich > Hot As A Pepper:
Thank you to Hot As A Pepper for providing a memorable night of entertainment at our recent wedding at the Lighthouse! The dance floor was full all-night long, with great selections of all genres from beach music and through every decade including current hits. The band was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to seeing them again soon. Thanks to Chip, John and the rest of the band!
I guess I don’t have to tell you… This is the icing on the cake! When you can do what you love doing, such as your band playing for a wedding, and then get positive feedback that people loved your work, it just doesn’t get better than this!
Thank you to Todd & Joy for trusting in Hot As A Pepper to play for their wedding. We wish you two a long lifetime of happy times and great music! We want to play for your anniversary parties!
– John
John plays bass for Hot As A Pepper and writes nonsense such as this blog post and silly comments on the band’s facebook page. The band is available for your wedding reception, party or other event in the Greenville area and out a few hours. We can provide a smaller “core” band of 4 or 5 people, or we can add our horns and an additional vocalist to cover just about any style of music you may desire!
Need cocktail or dinner hour music? How about ceremony music? We can handle all that. Give us a call, or use this FORM to get info on how to book or hire Hot As A Pepper!
We made it through 2013 and have 2014 well under way!
Hot As A Pepper saw a lot of fantastic gigs last year, and this year is looking as though we will see just as many with already a pretty full calendar through July!
Don’t worry, there are still plenty of opportunities for us to play at your Greenville / Upstate party or event, or even bar, club or restaurant! If you have something coming up and you don’t see it listed on our calendar, give us a call or use our contact form so we can get it locked in ASAP. For booking call 864-979-1224.
We’re adding shows, updating our ever expanding song list and also getting some new equipment in order to help bring the best experience to your event!
Good luck in 2014!
