Sam Hill Entertainment (bands)

A Town A List did just that. So much so, the band regularly tops our guests "favorite part" of our wedding. We couldn't recommend a more transparent, responsive and accommodating talent agency.

ything was wonderful. Sam Hill was proactive in the planning process and made sure we and the band were ready for the event. And The Dickens was outstanding! Several of our friends asked where we found them because they were one of the best bands they'd heard at a wedding.

ination wedding, and we didn't know the area that well. It was really tough to choose a band and trust what you heard online, let along trust the organization representing the band. Sam Hill's represents itself and its bands honestly and with integrity. Seeing and hearing everything in person gives a complete picture, but there’s still some mystery to what you’ll get when booking online. Sam Hill's contact was patient and answered all our questions along the way. We chose The Retreat. With The Retreat, there weren’t any surprises or regrets. They played all the tunes requested and read the crowd to fill in perfectly with other songs. They brought the perfect amount of energy without over-blasting the older crowd. Even the grandmas were dancing by their seats. The dance floor was always packed. I’m not one to dance a ton, and even I was constantly pulled in by the great song choice and sound! When chatting with our guests, I loved watching everyone dancing and singing along with the band - having a fantastic time. The Retreat fee is more than we initially allocated in our wedding band budget, but they were worth every penny! As MOB, the night was a whirlwind, I wasn’t able to thank the band personally to let them know what a stellar job they did. From announcing the bridal party to, playing music for the first dance, FOB dance and MOG dance and then the 2.5 hour set of continuous songs – they literally “made” the night. I knew The Retreat was beloved by all when, at the end of the night, the guests started to chant, “One more song… one more song… one more song…” The Retreat squeezed in one more (thank you) and the guests went crazy again.

to work with. Having good vendors makes all the difference! Everything about the process was seamless. They had an easy-to-use portal that let us request songs and customize the instruments we wanted. The band accommodated everything we asked for. They played every song we requested. They are insanely talented musicians. They had all our guests up on their feet dancing and having the time of their life. 11/10 recommend Summer Hill and especially, Adrian Duke's Jazztet! (+ a guitar player!).

Sunrise and they were amazing. We even had the option of adding a Sax player to the band. The band's energy and engagement with the guests was outstanding. They were musically very talented and high energy and enjoyed themselves performing at our wedding. It has been almost a year since our wedding the the guests are still talking about how great the band was. Sam Hill got us just what we needed!

line Lugo for quelling all my fears and assuring me she had everything under control. Highly recommend -- they were great emcees and kept the energy up at the right times all night.

ut her. 10/10 recommend any considering a live band or a DJ for their wedding to use Sam Hill Entertainment. You will not be disappointed.

quick to respond and was always available to help or answer any question I had. Crystal Clear Band was AMAZING! The dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing to the end of the night...just what we wanted. They interacted with us and made the night extra special. Highly recommend!!

e them again and again and again. My partner and I met doing music and so the band was one of (if not THE) most important aspects of our wedding planning. The New Royals delivered x a million. Working through Sam Hill was generally straight forward. They had an online platform that was easy to navigate. My only qualm was that it was a bit confusing who our point person was at any given time and we felt a bit out of the loop until right before the wedding. Felt a bit like folks assumed we knew more than we did about the process (which admittedly may have been on us, haha).

and seamlessly transitioning to a rock and roll party. Rick and his crew sounded amazing, and we especially appreciated their willingness to learn and play "If I had the World to Give" by The Grateful Dead for the father-daughter dance (a song that was not originally on their list, but they went ahead and did it for us anyway!). Rick was also timely, organized, and easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding. All of our friends and family commented on how wonderful they were, and we thank you all for helping make our day so special. Sophie and I would absolutely recommend The Jangling Reinharts for anyone looking to have a wonderful evening and dance to great music.

h a beautiful rendition of "Tennessee Whiskey." I highly recommend using this company!

iscussions regarding set-up details leading up to the date we basically ignored. In the end the guests had a good time, but a good bit of stress for us.

hey over delivered! The dance floor was packed the entire night -- which was exactly what we wanted -- and musically they were phenomenal. Multiple people asked us where/how we found them and told us what a great job they did. They were absolutely the highlight of the reception.

r guests, of all ages, on the dance floor the whole night! 5+++ Stars!!

start to finish and we were so glad that we chose them. They also learned a special song for us that was not on their repertoire, which was such a nice surprise and meant a lot to us as a couple. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and so many guests told me both during and after the wedding that they loved Soul Expressions! All in all, I highly recommend both Soul Expressions and Sam Hill, they made our night unforgettable!

d recommend Hipshack to anyone! They played all my requested songs and have a fabulous song list! My guests have not stopped raving about them!

play jazz during cocktail hour, and MC/play the reception. Everything went smoothly, all of our song requests were played, and the band was even willing to play a mash-up for the father/daughter dance. Our families kept remarking how great the band was and our guests did not want to leave, even when it was announced the band would be packing up and the guests needed get on the shuttle ;) I can't recommend enough!

e floor was never empty and they kept the energy going the entire time. We appreciated being able to do a virtual meeting with them before the wedding to tell them about our guests, the energy and vibe we wanted, and any special requests. Our favorite part of the night was when they called us up to the stage to sing our last song of the night with them – it will forever be one of our favorite memories. We have had so many guests tell us they were the best wedding band they had ever heard and we couldn’t agree more!! If you want an epic party, definitely book The After Party Experience!

ly the best night of our lives and a large part of that is due to this incredible band.

e party going all night and we received tons of compliments from our guests. Highly recommend!

ven people that continuously told us they never danced. The last song of the night we danced with them on the stage with them and it will be a core memory for us on our wedding night! We have received non stopped texts and calls from everyone saying how much they enjoyed the band. I could not stress enough how amazing they were!

d not recommend them more.

not have been more thrilled with the Finns and Sam Hill Entertainment! The Finns were amazing in every way and kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. They communicated well with the bride and groom beforehand and the song selections were spot on. Can't say enough good things about The Finns and Sam Hill Entertainment!
