Sam Hill Entertainment (bands)

I didn’t leave the dance floor once they started and could not stop dancing. Josh especially made us feel special creating small moments for us and entertaining the room. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the band was and I am still hearing about them today. They were incredible, talented, read the room flawlessly and kept the dance floor full, which was exactly what we wanted. I have nothing but incredible things to say about them.

ons at the reception 0n 4/30/22. They engaged the crowd from start to finish and the dance floor stayed full the entire evening! We truly didn't want the evening to end and would book them again in a heartbeat! Look no further if you're looking for superb entertainment and professionalism.

yone!

did not disappoint. I would 100% hire them again and would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to throw a real party!

e contract. Overall we were happy that we booked through Sam Hill, and pleased with Dance Candy's performance. They kept the dance floor full!

n what we were looking for and we ended up confidently choosing BPX. They were AMAZING! Not only are their singers so incredibly talented, but they are energetic, joyful and fun. We really couldn't have asked for a better band! Also, we had to postpone because of COVID and Sam Hill made it incredibly easy on us. They were so flexible and thoughtful. A wonderful experience front start to finish!

d professional. Sam Hill has such a wide selection of bands to choose from at different price points, which was so helpful to us when selecting a band for our wedding. The process of booking was super smooth and simple. We originally booked music just for our reception, but were able to really easily add on ceremony music later. Highly recommend working with Sam Hill!

hat we were looking for. They were incredibly responsive through the entire process, and made a stressful situation significantly easier. We ultimately booked The Retreat through them, and they were AMAZING! They kept people on the dance floor all evening and played the best music. The dance floor was extremely important to me and my husband, and Sam Hill and The Retreat went above and beyond to make our dreams a reality. We are thrilled with them, and would highly recommend!

, and so professional. Everything went smoothly from planning months in advance to the end of the evening event. Thank you for a job well-done to both Sam Hill Entertainment AND Peter Richardson music.

ing a great time. They learned our first dance song for us, and they accommodated a special request from my dad to play "Sweet Child of Mine" during the reception. At the end of the night, we hadn't heard Shout! or Country Roads (which were songs we were really looking forward to hearing) and they came back after finishing as a little encore to make sure we got to hear both. It was fantastic and we so appreciate that extra effort. Thank you so much for helping our wedding be the best day ever!

hey sounded. No one left the dance floor!! I would also recommend getting them a stage. They sounded amazing and were the absolute highlight of the night - we never wanted the party to end!! We are so grateful to have gotten to work with this wonderful band and hope that everyone gets this same experience. The Sam Hill correspondence was also seamless. Everything was very clear cut and outlined in terms of contract agreements and payments. Highly recommend!

e HIGHLY recommend them.

They played the entire night with only one short break. They absolutely made the wedding! Thank you!!

ng. Revel Radio's song list is a perfect mix of crowd pleasers with so many fun mash-ups. My wedding was on 4/9/22 in Greensboro, NC. Book Revel Radio at the Cadillac Service Garage venue - you'll have the night of your life.

hey sounded amazing. We didn't do any special dances or cake cutting so I can't comment on that stuff.

we had made the right choice in booking them. At our own event they far exceeded the expectations we had set. Their MC timing was perfect and our dance floor was not large enough to hold the number of guests who were dancing the entire night. They played songs that get everyone moving and stray from some of the traditional songs you hear at every wedding which was exactly what we wanted. Our guests talked about them the rest of the weekend and we couldn’t believe how fast the time went. Steve was incredibly accommodating and we cannot say enough good things about the band or Sam Hill. We would recommend them in a heartbeat for your next event!

100% hire them again.

e best band people had ever heard. The dance floor was full the entire night. They were so easy to work with. They gave us exactly what we were looking for which was a Young Hearts concert. Tight harmonies, great horn section and just overall GREAT! If you can spend a couple extra dollars, get the band with the additional 3 horn section. It took them from great to what I can’t describe. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band anywhere in the country.

bes" throughout the night. Definitely recommend both.

nd very communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding.

nt Meister. We could not have chosen better. Accolades for your superb entertainment.

er 2 Party, and all my guests told me they were the greatest wedding band they've ever seen and they truly were. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to work with Sam Hill Entertainment again in the future.

play again! Super professional set up and tear down, and non stop great music. Thanks again. ( I had to click "yes" for "Did you hire this vendor - just wasn't for a wedding)

oove. They were amazing, surpassing all our expectations, which were quite high. They had everyone on the dance floor all night long and did a great job of mixing our requests in with other songs to keep the party going. Not only that, they put on a fantastic show, so everyone who didn't want to dance got to enjoy watching them perform.

ng Seven Til Sunrise and honestly they were worth every penny and more. They did a wonderful job at reading the crowd and keeping everyone on their feet. I have no complaints at all with Sam Hill or Seven Til Sunrise!

heir feet and dancing all night! So accommodating to all our requests- everyone ranted and raved about how fabulous they were!!!

nce floor was packed all night long, and we loved every minute of their performance. I wish we could do it all again!

ceable that they took the time to review our preferences for music and they truly delivered on the type of music we requested! There was not a single person in their seats the entire 2.5 hours the band performed! They brought absolute amazing energy and were insanely engaging with our guests - even allowing myself and the groom to interact with them on different songs! We have already had multiple guests reach out requesting The Block Party Experience's information for future bookings of other events. As a party crowd, all the Groom and I wished for was a band that would bring amazing energy and excitement to our guests and The Block Party Experience 1,000% delivered. If we had it to do all over again, we would book them time and time again - we cannot say enough good things about them! Do yourself a favor, book The Block Party Experience!

and played to our preferences. The dance floor was packed the entire wedding and several guests asked about our band. We could not recommend First Generation band more!

verything was handled so professionally from beginning to end. They were very responsive and answered all of questions before and after booking. The After Party Experience brought the party and kept it going all night. Our guests could not telling us how amazing they were. The band members themselves were also incredibly kind and created the best atmosphere for our reception. If you want to keep your guests on the dance floor all night, this is the band for you.

sly!!), and an electric experience for our guests. They know how to get a room excited and keep everyone dancing… live music was a must have for us and we could not have been more happy with our choice to book T.A.P.E.!!

eo samples really give you a feel of the artists they represent. They helped us pick the perfect bluegrass band (The Whiskey Rebellion) for our wedding. This decision was important to us as it was a chance to recognize my (now) husband's musical background and we are both musicians ourselves. The Whiskey Rebellion were so friendly throughout the booking process and tailored their set list to include the numerous musical selections we sent their way. I actually stopped for a moment during the reception to take a short video of the band performing--they were fantastic and I was only sorry that (as the bride) I was so busy throughout the day that I did not have as much of a chance to just sit back and listen to them play! Highly recommend if you are looking for a talented band to add a memorable performance to your event!

and they were perfect- great music, great energy, and kept the party going all evening.

nement from our original date due to the pandemic. The band sounded awesome and was also able to work our ceremony music as a next-to-last-minute request! We felt the prices were very reasonable and so were the contract terms - again, they were able to work with us through postponing and rescheduling with no issues. Very professional all around and we couldn’t be happier with the performance to set the mood for a great evening. We would absolutely work with Sam Hill again - any of their bands- and definitely recommend them to anyone getting married in the Charlottesville area!

he best parts of the night. We were put in contact with Jacqueline of 10 Spot a couple months before the date and she was so great to work with. We received regular, clear communication and all of our song requests were accommodated. I love that multiple members of the band sing vocals (INCREDIBLY) and that they have an extensive song list covering multiple genres of music. My older family members were surprised and delighted that they knew a lot of the songs (we requested a ton of Motown), mentioning that they expected not to know much. The modern hits (Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, etc.) were a big hit with our friends, and it was a GREAT mix. 10 Spot had everyone on the dance floor the entire night and it was truly the BEST and most fun night ever. We had to postpone twice due to COVID and Sam Hill made the entire process easy both times, alleviating a lot of stress on our end. They were incredibly understanding and flexible with us - we originally booked a different band that was unavailable for our new date and they let us know which bands were available, and allowed us to transfer/apply our deposit to 10 Spot. They also offered the option to donate a portion of our deposit to the original band to help offset the financial impact of the pandemic, and we really appreciate their efforts to support the bands they manage during this uncertain time.

mediately sent over a number of replacement bands that were comparable to the band we had initially chosen. We ended up going with Soul Expressions and they were AMAZING! Wilbert called me as soon as I booked them to discuss details of what song choices we wanted. The dance floor was packed all night. They were fun and energetic the entire evening. All of our guests commented on how great they were. 10/10 would recommend!!

with and listened to our every request. They did a live version of the hora and escorted us out with horns for our exit. Everything was beyond amazing. We are so happy we booked them!! Thank you for everything! A special shoutout to Katie Merritt with Sam Hill for accommodating our every request and literally picking out the perfect band for us. Thank you all!!

u how fun they were. I was over the moon with their performance, and my guests have not stopped raving. I love to dance, and they kept me on my feet for their entire set. The only time I took a break was when they took a break! There wasn’t one wrong note from these guys. Now stop reading this and book them already! They’re FABULOUS!

g. I can't tell you how many people came up to us and said, "where did you find this band - they are amazing"!! It made me so happy and the dance floor was never empty. I could not recommend this band more highly. Such talented singers and entertainers and made the wedding a ton of fun!

gle song we had requested through our request form. They sounded amazing and kept the energy going the entire night long. I cannot recommend them enough and can't wait to party with them again!

several guests for future events. Sam Hill Entertainment was very good to work with. They hit the nail on the head with their band recommendations. Andrew was very timely with all communication and answered all of our questions. We were very pleased from beginning to end!!

se the music was tailored perfectly to us. They even learned a song for us. The band was hands down our favorite part of our wedding. They are incredible musicians and performers, and were super engaging and fun with our guests. They got our friends and family on the dance floor the entire night, and we have heard raving reviews from everybody since. Will be recommending them to everyone I know !!

ht. We got so many compliments about the band. Highly recommend!

they played mellow music throughout dinner to set the mood and then once the reception portion began dancing never stopped with our group. We loved how engaged the band was with our guests, they truthfully made the event so special and we cannot say enough good things about them! Hire Another Level, you wont regret it!

wedding band during a pandemic was challenging as we weren't able to see them live or hear newly released clips/videos. But Andrew, Sam Hill team and Hipshack made us feel comfortable with the decision and we're thankful we chose them! They kept the energy up and everyone was dancing all night - definitely add in the horn section if you choose to book them!

t to mention when I finally met her in person she looks (and more importantly sings) like a rockstar! They kept our guests dancing all night and even had our guests requesting an encore. Book 10 Spot and you will not be disappointed!

different (even better) band for our new date. Working through Sam Hill made the experience of contracting and communicating with the band super easy, and their website answers a TON of questions. Specifically, we hired Queen City Band for our wedding- they are 10 people with multiple vocalists and a full horns section. I cannot say enough about how good this band was. Our top priority for our wedding was a great band for a great party, and Queen City was one of the most fun concerts I've ever been to. They were great at MCing toasts, first dance, etc., and once the music started, the dance floor was on fire. We had multiple guests who told us it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding, and Queen City Band was the biggest reason for that. I cannot recommend them enough!

very communitive throughout the entire process, showed up early with little help needed getting set up, learned two songs that we had requested, and played music that kept our guest on the dance floor all night long. HipShack knows a variety of genres which is specifically what we wanted to please all guests. Thanks to everyone in Sam Hill/Hip Shack!

pparent during both the acoustic cocktail hour and post-dinner dancing. They helped create a fun and lively environment. We loved the song selections - it was a great mix of classic bluegrass and more modern songs, as well as Rocky Top thrown in for our many Tennessee fans. My dad is a musician himself, and he especially enjoyed being able to join in on the upright bass for one song. Our conversations with Andy Jaspen and the band leader prior to the event were relaxed and professional, and the band was very accommodating. Many thanks to Sam Hill and the Whiskey Rebellion for such a fun performance!

he band, The Free, was absolutely incredible. Their video is amazing so we had high expectations, but the reality of their performance was even better! Both Sam Hill and The Free were a major reason why my daughters wedding was so fun and ran so smoothly. Do not underestimate the importance of a good band, they literally made the night!

ot only excellent musicians but wonderful entertainers. Their ability to read the crowd, adjust songs as needed, and get nearly every last person out on the dancefloor was just amazing. It was also such a treat to have them learn our first dance song--they really did everything they could to make our night special by honoring that and other song requests. Honestly, it's difficult for us to overstate our high praise for The Finns, you have got to book this band! As far as working with Sam Hill Entertainment, it was a breeze. Booking was easy, and I felt that there was ample communication leading up to the event not only in regard to payment, but logistics as well. Everything went off without a hitch!

as full the entire night. From the get-go, my communications with Justin and team at Sam Hill were excellent. They provided a really helpful list of FAQs and made the process of switching over to a new date (thanks, COVID!) really easy. When we first approached Justin, we actually had a different band in mind who was not available for our original date, and he steered us into the hands of Eight Past Midnight. We are super grateful for it!

timed. I was concerned about the breaks killing the mood, but they were perfect and as soon as the band got back from the break, the energy was insane and everyone was on the dance floor all night. Josh and Angelica are phenomenal singers and amazing performers… I’m not sure how they kept their energy levels up the whole night. Even more – Angelica injured her ankle during one of the songs because they were dancing so much… but instead of being finished for the night, she pulled up a chair to rest her ankle, and kept singing! They were absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend them for any wedding/event/etc.

endance said it was the best wedding band they've ever heard! Thank you, Sam Hill & BPX!

talking about how Attraction is one of the best wedding bands they've ever experienced. We would recommend them highly to all of our family and friends!

you're looking for or what your budget allows. We were so happy with The Radio Sparks. They are truly a talented band and helped get the crowd ready to party. I would highly recommend Sam Hill for your entertainment needs but definitely check out The Radio Sparks as they did not disappoint!

wedding finally happened on 10/9/21 and we could not have been happier with The Life Atlantic, one of their many terrific bands. They brought the house down. So thanks Sam Hill ~ you delivered exactly what you said you would and it's been a pleasure working with you!! They are now Mr. & Mrs. and very happy! :)

Groove was absolutely amazing - exactly what we hoped they'd be. They took very few breaks, learned and played the first dance song perfectly. Marrell, the band leader was awesome; the dance floor stayed packed all night and they were super nice to deal with.

e keep going back to rewatch videos of the evening to relive the evening. We can't wait to catch a show of theirs in Charlottesville soon!

ple people tell us it was the best wedding band they have ever seen. SO MUCH FUN!! They were AMAZING. Thank you so much for making our night THE BEST EVER!!

ng up after my event, the whole experience was above and beyond my expectations. From our youngest guest to our oldest guest, I believe everyone was on the dance floor at some point in the night. And most of the night just about everyone was on the dance floor. I know of at least 2 guests that asked for the band's card the night of our event. I highly suggest working the Sam Hill Entertainment as they made the entire process professional and extremely easy!

trio that played for our cocktail hour. We highly recommend working with Sam Hill (and of course, 1st Generation Band), for your upcoming event!

aration and execution, and can highly recommend them.

brought so much energy and did an amazing job creating a setlist that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. We would absolutely recommend them to others!

dressed any questions that we had. I had 10 people that night ask me who the band was and even told me it was the BEST wedding they had ever been too. Thanks again for helping make our big day so special!

s easy to book with, answered all our questions, had a seamless payment process, and everything was exactly as advertised. While a live band is a large budget undertaking - they have so many options at different price points and can help provide narrowed down options based on what you're looking for. Well worth every penny and it was amazing to work with both this company and the band.

ing my partner and I both reported that a song played by the Finns (different songs) were our favorite memories from the day. We expected the Finns to be amazing, and they still far exceeded our expectations!

and handled. The band we chose, E3, was great. Guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing!
