First let me start by saying that Sam is pure talent. Not only a soulful singer and charismatic performer, but also a gifted guitarist.
We hired Sam to play our wedding at the Millwick in DTLA this past summer. After setting our date over a year in advance my very first priority was to find a band. Music is very important to me and I knew the importance of finding the right soundtrack to to our evening. Sam and his band were a breath of fresh air to find in a sea of musicians in Los Angeles. Sam is not only the nicest guy, but also extremely professional.
We hired Sam to play our ceremony solo, first playing music to welcome our guests on our their way in and then learning an array of eccentric songs for us to play during the walk down the isle (Elvis, Johnny Cash, & Steve Winwood).
During cocktail hour Sam was joined by his band along with a trumpet player to play a Jazz assemble. It added beautiful depth to everyone mingling and the sun setting on a hot summer night.
Reception was kicked off with our first dance (Randy Newman) in which Sam and his band did an amazing job covering our song. After we requested two songs to kick off the dance floor, James Taylor (for all our New England family) dropping into ⇢ Ginuwine (for our friends). They absolutely killed it and it was one of my favorite memories of the night… being surrounded by all our friends and family joining us on the dance floor.
Our vendors enjoyed working with Sam, our guests LOVED the music and danced all night, and we are beyond thankful to him for his talent and creating a beautiful soundtrack to our wedding.
