Hit Collective members played at our housewarming party, and they were outstanding! They performed on our new patio, under lanterns and party lights and it created a beautiful and intimate setting. It was really fun seeing my Aunt and Uncle (in their 90's) dance along with the music and watching everybody sing along to several songs. Our crowd went crazy when they played 'Sweet Caroline' and a special highlight for the night was when myself and my daughters got up and sang "Que Sera,Sera" with them backing us up. Hit Collective was incredibly engaging, getting everyone involved and dancing. Their song selection was perfect, and they truly made our celebration special. Highly recommend them for any event!

The Hit Collective was hired for our 2024 Music on Castro event, a public gathering where people relax and enjoy live bands as they stroll Downtown. The Hit Collective was fantastic! They were engaging with the crowd, had a very diverse set of music, and were incredibly professional and punctual. I particularly appreciated how they interacted with the audience, with many people smiling and dancing along. Our staff mentioned that they were one of the best bands we've had this year. We are looking forward to having them again on October 9th, 2024. I highly recommend them for any kind of party or festival event for a fun, engaging, and enjoyable time. I will certainly book them for our 2025 music series.

As a lifelong music enthusiast, I was thoroughly impressed with Hit Collective when they performed at Villa Rosa for our 50th high school reunion for Awalt High School in Los Altos. They managed all the sound system requirements and the special load-in seamlessly, ensuring everything went smoothly for the evening's festivities. Their set list, featuring music from our era, was fantastic. We are having them again for our collective 'milestone birthday party' in November 2, 2024. I particularly appreciate them adding The Doobie Brothers and Santana to the mix. They had everyone dancing and singing along, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. Hit Collectiveโs professionalism and talent made the event truly memorable. I highly recommend them for any special occasion!
