We booked The After Party Experience through Sam Hill Entertainment for our daughters wedding. They were outstanding, and we have posted reviews of them on Yelp and FB. Highly recommend TAPE. Dealing with Sam Hill was a pleasure. They were very responsive to questions we had, they made it simple to reschedule when the wedding was postponed, and they instituted a very forgiving refund policy in case of an outright cancellation. I felt very confident booking with them and highly recommend them for your wedding or other event.

We chose to book our wedding band through Sam Hill Entertainment and we are so glad that we decided to go with a band. Justin was great with helping us find the right one and within the amount we wanted to spend. He was also respectful of our busy schedule and allowed us all the time we needed to decide. Seven Til Sunrise was the band we chose and they know how to entertain!!! They had us and all our guests dancing all evening long. Highly recommend this band!

Everyone and I mean, everyone, was on the dance floor non- stop. The music kept all of our guests entertained and dancing. It was a great party and Downtown Collective made it an incredibly memorable night. They really delivered- Thank You a million times for making our night so special!!

We booked the Crystal Clear Band through Sam Hill and could not recommend them enough! Everyone was super easy to work with and accommodating. The band was SO FUN and had the whole crowd dancing along. No diva attitudes! I would 100% book with them if I could do it again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band.

I am a wedding planner and have worked with Sam Hill for the last 10 years. Their bands are amazing, professional, and top notch. I have only had great experiences with this company. From the moment I sent an inquiry until the band leaves the stage its all fabulous!

If youre looking for a band for your wedding or other event, we cannot recommend Sam Hill enough. Sam Hill has an extensive selection of bands they work with and does a great job showcasing the bands so you get an idea of their sound and general feel. Communication with the staff at Sam Hill was great and they were able to make recommendations on based on the sound and feel for the wedding we were looking for. Sam Hills website and staff made it clear what the expectation should be communicating with and working with the band leading up to the event and the band itself was truly excellent and our wedding guests all commented on how great the band sounded. When looking for a band for future events, I have to think one of our first stops will be back at Sam Hill bands. A++

While the band A-Town A-List was talented, we actually were quite disappointed.The week of the wedding we received an email from the band leader with last minute timeline questions. This was particularly frustrating and concerning because I had previously had extensive conversations with her about the timeline to ensure it accommodated the band’s needs, and that she had also received it well in advance.Then on to the wedding….Things began on a bad note immediately upon the couple introduction, where they announced my name incorrectly. Immediately thereafter, our first dance was to begin, but our selected song was apparently not queued up and ready, so as we stood in the middle of the dance floor for at least 90+ seconds (which felt like forever) before our first dance started. In the meantime, the band emcee started beat boxing and making silly references.Additionally, I had sent our planner some info to get to the band leader, which had all of the special dance songs listed in it as well as some of our artist/song preferences from the bands song list to guide the night. Not only were none of the preferences played, the exact opposite genres were heavily played. At one point throughout the night, I had asked one of the band members if they could do a particular song, which was on their song list, to which I was told, rather abruptly “No, we don’t know it.” I find it perplexing that they are advertising a particular song list, that they are not able to play.All of this appears to be a lack of preparation on the bands part, which is especially frustrating since I have provided all of this information well in advance, allowing them more than enough time to be properly prepared for a smooth evening.Finally, it appears that the lead female singer was different than “advertised.” While I understand that contractually the band has the right to switch out members, it is very disappointing to make a decision on a band largely based upon what you see on previous videos (especially the lead singer) and then get someone else who strikes you as emotionless and completely unengaging the day of. Also, we informed the band leader that it was a black-tie event to ensure the band was dressed appropriately. The lead singer was NOT dressed black tie.The band was definitely the most disappointing part of the reception (compared to the caliber of everything else) and thus, I would never recommend them under any circumstance.

I booked the Jangling Reinharts for my wedding and they had a dance floor of 300 people packed the whole night. Sam Hill is an awesome company with great people!

Hipshack was perfect for our intimate wedding. They took all of our requests and kept our wedding party dancing all night long. We would recommend them for any party, wedding, or event.

Highly recommend working with these guys! They were very helpful in piecing together recommendations for us based on our budget, genre, and overall vibe we were targeting. We ended up hiring E3 and they were a blast! Andy had a phone call with us a few weeks before the wedding and gave me some reassurance as to how the introduction and dances would work. We shared with him that we were taking dance lessons for our first dance and he was able to piece together a shortened track of our song so that we could practice it beforehand. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and everyone had a blast!

After seeing another Sam Hill band rock the house at my companys holiday party in Jan 2017, we asked for their contact info and got in touch with Sam Hill. A good live band was important to my husband so we deliberated over several choices as Sam Hill had an endless amount selection for bands -- we agreed on 10 Spot and our guests loved them! We wanted a band that could play a range of music, could work (and read) a room, and had a contemporary stage presence. We are constantly hearing from our guests how impressed by the band they were. They played a good range of classics to contemporaries. They had volume and power, but were not overwhelming and they didnt try to over-DJ the night. I was happy that it was good music but they blended into the rest of the wedding settings. Our first phone interaction with the band was a little weird which had us a tad worried, but they made up for it in the performance and exceeded my expectations. They played all of my requested live songs and even worked in my requested songs for their break times. We were very happy with 10 Spot from a performance and price standpoint. They were very much worth the value and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding!

We could not have been happier with the Jeff Decker band on the night of our wedding! We had had some trouble communicating with both Sam Hill and the band itself leading up to our day, which gave us some concern, but in retrospect we realize they just had everything under control. Jeff Decker and his band played all of our favorite songs and matched the aesthetic of our evening perfectly with their style. We were thrilled to see so many of our guests dancing to songs like Our Love is Here to Stay and I Cant Help Falling in Love with You.
