Hi Lauren!
Thank you for reaching out to me. The band, set up guys, etc were all amazing and so easy to work with. They rocked the venue. The crowd wanted them to keep playing. I think, as I told them, that they were the best band I had at one of my weddings all year. I will definitely be referring my future weddings to ATown AList.
My best!

Mike,
We knocked the cover off the ball, Touchdown, Grand slam, Hat Trick OMG what talent!!
A Town A List was OUTSTANDING. I thought they started off slow….with just instrumental dinner music by my goodness did they crank it up! They were incredible. I am still on a high from the event and my feet haven’t touched the ground yet. Max and Gabby will never wish for a DJ over a band again. They have apologized so many times since Sunday. I am going to milk this for the rest of their days. 😊
Thank you for your patience, Mike. I was a pleasure working with you.

When we were planning our wedding, I think the vendor we had the most anxiety about choosing was the band. We got a list of bands from our wedding planner to check out and looked through online videos, social media etc. but for us, we still felt like we wanted to see the band in person before choosing. We went with our gut and booked ATownAList and we are SO HAPPY we did. When we talk to our wedding guests, the band is consistently mentioned as one of the best parts – I’m not kidding, our guests LOVED them. These guys absolutely killed it! They played our first dance and the parent dance songs live and did an excellent job. They made our introduction into the venue SO fun. They played an eclectic mix of songs that kept our guests (of all ages) on the dance floor all night! The entire band came with amazing energy and added so much to our big day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – Bibi+Will xoxo

Hi Andrew,
Overall, we think they were incredible. We’ve had multiple people say that’s the best wedding band they’ve ever seen, and my sister and her husband actually saw them at a different wedding a year or so back and said that they were even better this time around.
Some specifics:
1. We think their vibe during the cocktail hour was perfect, just light background music that let people throughout the venue have easy conversations.
2. They learned the one song we specifically requested, which was awesome. It also seemed like they learned a few more we gave them an intermission playlist with some songs that they ended up actually playing live. I specifically remember All The Small Things by Blink 182 and My Own Worst Enemy by Lit being played live instead of our intermission playlist. Totally unexpected since these weren’t on their setlist online but they crushed it!
3. We liked how they did a good job of involving the crowd and us, while not overdoing it either.
4. They did a great job at matching the energy throughout the night, starting with some oldies and gradually ramping up.
Overall, they were amazing and will probably impact how I view other wedding bands in the future!
Best,

Hey Katie! Thank you so much for the well wishes. We had the most unbelievable night of our lives, and all of the guests were ranting and raving about Atown Alist! One friend of mine said she had never seen guests stay so long and dance until the bitter end. Another friend offered the band $1000 to play for 30 more minutes. That says a lot.
We thought they were absolutely wonderful and could not have asked for a more pleasant experience! Sam Hill kept in contact via email and asked very specific questions about what we wanted. I really cannot say enough complimentary things about Atown Alist or Sam Hill Entertainment! I will definitely be recommending them to friends in the future!

We found our experience in working with Sam Hill Entertainment to be complete professionalism. From the initial contact, to the follow up, to the wedding details, expectations etc. completely professional. It was a Greek wedding so when the band was off the Greek DJ was on and the two entertainers worked so well together.
The band was AMAZING!
It was a nonstop party. I'm not sure if they had a set playlist or read the room and responded accordingly but they were fantastic.
Such high energy and entertainment. Absolutely everyone has commented on how fabulous the band was. I would book them again without hesitation.
Please let the band know how awesome they were complete WOW

Hi Lauren!!
I gave Ryan a call yesterday before leaving for the airport –and you are at the top of my list of people to thank today!! In a nutshell – they were GREAT!! High energy – super interactive – and kept attendees on the dance floor literally for hours! I’ll shoot you over some phone footage I have (I’m terrible at taking videos) – but have to tell you that the band kept everyone on the dance floor having SO much fun!! Ryan knocked it out of the park with the song choice and everyone was singing along waving their glow foam sticks, and dancing/jumping around! It just was the perfect last night blow out and it wouldn’t have been a success without each and every one of the team!!
Thank you, Ryan, and the entire band and team for working so tirelessly to make our Bash a huge success!! The dancers, musicians, DJ, accounting team, setup crew, etc. It wouldn’t have been the same with any other band or DJ!! You were the PERFECT choice!!! I could see that every band member and Mami Chula were giving it their ALL and executing their very best!! It means everything to me and I’m just so grateful!! Everyone truly cared about this event and it showed 100%!!
I am looking forward to the next time we get to work together again!! Thank you for everything – and have a wonderful remainder of the summer!! Hoping we will reconnect this Fall for new events!!
You are just the best!

WOW! ATown AList was AMAZING. They exceeded even our wildest dreams. From the moment they arrived onsite, they were friendly as we chatted. At one point about 2 hours before the ceremony, I heard music playing from the main room and I said to my groomsmen That must be recorded music just testing the speakers and such and we went over to look and nope, it was ATown doing their sound check! They were professional, courteous, and so so generous.
The set list they designed was incredible. They knew how to capture the energy of the crowd and kept the party going all night long. They executed the Hora medley exactly as we asked for it, and it made the night even more special. Every single guest commented that they were one of the best wedding bands they had ever seen. They engaged the crowd on the dance floor and kept everyone smiling and dancing. And it even felt like they knew us without asking! They played throwback songs from our childhood days, and even had the horn section soloing during a Stevie Wonder song. They were just incredible.
ATown truly lived up to their reputation on both a performance level and a customer service level. We would highly recommend them to any and every couple looking for an amazing party.
Thanks for everything! We will continue to sign their praises.

I have to say that this has been the best band experience that we have ever encountered. They not only were outrageously entertaining, but they were engaging on a personal level, rocked until the very last minute of the night and we have heard nothing but compliments from all of our guests, and equally the staff that manage the venue. I would expect that you get more calls from this band from people who attended our event. Sam Hill was also a pleasure to work with. Covid sure threw a lot at you and the band, but you all were professional, kept us apprised of what we needed to think about and were incredibly flexible with the rebookings.
All the best and of course we will be a big fan of your organization and the band in the future.

Compliments which were set to me included:
I’ve never been to a wedding where when someone asked everyone to dance every single person got up and danced immediately! “
“The best band I have ever heard.”
“The energy of the band was incredible.”
“Most wedding have slow downs, or periods where people just sit. I’ve never been to a wedding where almost everyone was dancing all the time.
Andrew, even I was on the dance floor all night and at one point, I thought ‘wow, they haven’t taken a break..’ I looked up and I was dancing to their audio!!!!!
They were engaging, entertaining and beyond my expectations!!!
I loved chatting with the lead singers. Both of them were so kind and full of fun energy.
I can tell you there were three people who asked me for their information.
I could go on and on. I want to do it again!!!!

Hey Mike,
We had the absolute BEST time and ATown AList truly made the wedding so special. The entire wedding was great but they really were one of the best parts! I can’t tell you how many people said it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. One of my friends just got engaged and asked me for your contact bc they want to book!! So hopefully you’ll see that request come in soon!! Thank you SO much again and please pass this along to the whole team the band and also Katie was amazing to work with too!!!
Here’s the review I posted:
THIS. BAND. Hands down the best wedding band I have ever heard. I have been to my fair share of weddings and I can confidently say that my husband and I have not heard a better band. They were absolutely INCREDIBLE.
Not only did they play great music, but their interactions with us and our wedding guests and overall energy was top notch. 10/10 would recommend this band. Worth every single penny!
And Sam Hill Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with. So professional, extremely friendly and easy to work with and very flexible. We had to move our wedding 4 times because of the pandemic not only dates but venue also and they were beyond helpful. What a great company!

Hi Andrew, I'm not sure I can even describe in words how AMAZING the band was and what an incredibly special and memorable evening we had because of them!!! I'm so grateful Lindsay and Scott heard ATown AList at a cousin's wedding a couple of years ago and insisted on using them. I truly believe our guests had the best wedding experience of their lives...I know I did! No one sat down for 4 hours; it was constant dancing, singing and celebrating. Every single band member was fully engaged in making our experience the best, the song choices were perfect and the vocal renditions were unbelievably authentic. I think they had as much fun as the guests.
Honestly, I don't think there's a rating high enough for them...they were 100 out of 10!
The total experience of working with Sam Hill to plan and set everything up was super seamless. It was one of the easiest aspects of pulling together a very complex, detail oriented wedding weekend for us while working with so many vendors.
Thank you so much!

I'll be sure to recommend them to whoever we know is getting married. Please send our thanks to the band!

Wanted to reach out to you directly and know that A Town NAILED it. They were onsite before I was, had all of the timeline details ready to go, made changes easily and required little to no direction at all. Their performance was excellent of course, and more importantly (from the planner's perspective,) James did a phenomenal job of MCing the evening. I will definitely recommend them again!
Happy Planning!!

Hi Beth,
ATown AList exceeded all of our expectations at Amanda and Sam’s wedding reception. Since they had played at my oldest daughter’s wedding a few years back, I knew the level of talent was exceptional and they did not disappoint. Despite having to alter the playlist to adjust to the venue restrictions about dancing and congregating, they were able to perform an awesome set that provided just the right atmosphere during the entire night. And we were even able to slip in a few dances at the end of the evening! The band was great to work with and I have one more daughter that would love to have them perform at her wedding sometime down the road.
Thanks for your help!

The energy they brought to the reception was amazing, and the music played was a perfect mix. People staying in the condos around us mentioned being out on their balconies dancing to our music! We’ve received so many comments from our guests and family members referencing the fact that “our band” was the best ever! We can’t thank all of you enough for providing the heart of the party!

Hi Andrew,
We were all super happy with The ATown AList. We knew that having a live band would be key to getting the right vibe for the party, and we knew that an OK band just wouldn’t do. We were really excited to book ATown, but I have to say they really exceeded our expectations. We were a small crowd in a small venue, but they still made the event seem BIG. They brought energy and excitement, read the crowd so well, and had the dance floor full all night. Everyone felt included and had a good time. My wedding coordinator went out of her way the next day to tell me all the ways they had been accommodating, especially with the sound, and I have to say, they got that perfect. It was intense all night, but never painful, and we all just had a blast! Our wedding guest list was entirely from out of state: Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Denver, Boston, Atlanta, Charleston, Albuquerque, Mobile, San Diego, London …. and many more places everyone was impressed and raving! You made us look so good!
I know you represent bands in Houston, so I’m hoping someday to see ATown here. If I ever get a chance, I will definitely recommend them. And it’s been super easy working with Sam Hill as well.
Thank you for everything,

Thanks so much for reaching out! We have had nothing but a positive experience all around. From the beginning conversations with you and Andy, to confirming songs monthout with April from ATAL/Ben Hernandez, to the actual night... nothing short of spectacular. Both bands learned songs for us and performed them better than our expectations. We have received comment after comment about both ATAL and Gallatin Canyon, and I've sent contact information for Sam Hill Entertainment to multiple guests.
Gallatin Canyon is always such a wonderful treat. A Town A List was obviously new for us and they were unfreakingbelievable. Carter and I, and all of our guests, had a blast. Truly best party of my life and a lot of credit goes to ATAL... I mean, see below!
Can't wait to share photos once we have them!

3) Balance and range of capabilities was very impressive!
They were a pleasure to have, and not once was “music” ever an issue at the wedding. I knew we were in good hands!

Hey Andrew!!
I'm sure this won't surprise you, but the band was AN ABSOLUTE HIT!!!!!! Literally from the moment guests put their forks down, every single person was up and dancing. I pointed this out to my father and he started beaming with pride, and then I overheard him tell this to my mother and our family... It sounds like a little thing, but it really meant a lot to us. Throwing a wedding at home is... all kinds of stressful. My greatest wish was that my parents would be happy and proud of how everything turned out. And thanks to the band, they really were. Me and my friends/the kids can't stop laughing about how the grownups were hogging the dance floor for the first hour. What a dream.
I'll post all of that to the Knot... everyone should know how great this group is :D :D :D I also conveyed my thanks to April!!
Thank you again, we are so grateful this crucial, central piece of our wedding literally could not have been better. We are a picky couple when it comes to music, and we don't have a single critique.

Her stage presence was unlike anything we could have anticipated it feels as though “wedding band” should be in quotes because the whole band were so legit! :)

Hi Ryan and Andy,
I wanted to check in with you and let you know what a fabulous time everyone had at the wedding last night. It was crowded, warm and humid, but no one cared!! ….. thanks to the energy and positive attitudes of the band members of ATown AList. After 39 years, hundreds of events and countless bands, they could not have been more enjoyable to work with. Talent is one thing, (no lacking there), but combined with a great attitude it makes for a class act. Graylyn is a unique, but challenging venue for any band, and I heard not one complaint from any of the members and sensed nothing but cooperation, teamwork and intent to leave only the best impression on me and everyone in attendance. James the lead singer could not have been more kind, patient and respectful and I know it was a long day for them, so I hope they returned home safely with only the best memories of their time here in WinstonSalem. The band packed up quickly and I just wish I could have thanked them again. So, please share my sentiments. What a great night!!
And thank you for all your help, too!! It has been a pleasure. And Andy led the way with our contract and it couldn’t have turned out any better.

The number of times we have since heard a version of HOW did you find that band? They were SO AWESOME! ...cannot begin to count. They crushed it and we could not have been more pleased. We literally have zero complaints. We were so pumped when they orchestrated that little dance off between two of our crazy friends...definitely top 5 memory of the evening. I just wish we could do it all again.

I'm also talking about the musicians they were personable, friendly, into it, and engaging. I met nearly all of them, talked to them, and came away thinking, What good folks they are!
Can't thank you and the band for helping make Hannah's and Michael's night magical.

Mike,
Thank you for reaching out. I had a wonderful time at the wedding and ATown AList was phenomenal. I think they did a great job catering to the event and having nothing but good things to say. I think everyone else enjoyed them as well. If we have any friends who are looking for a bank in the area in the future, we will be sure to recommend them. They were a delight to work with and maybe we will hire them again down the road for another event of ours. Thanks for your best wishes and thank you again for all of your help. Everything ran smoothly and that is all we could ask for. You really helped make our day special.
Kind Regards,

Hi Mike,
The Hoke / Raulston wedding was a huge success from all points on the compass. The Band was OUTSTANDING AND THE HIT OF THE EVENT! The guys were great to work with and the music was spot on! You should ask them about the Shimmy / Shake contest with the bridesmaids! I am not a social media guy so I will leave those comments for the Bride and Groom. As for the mother and father of the bride.....we could not be happier with the performance and support from you and the band.
I believe we will have some professional shots available for you once we get things back from the photographer.

First off, the band was awesome! All seats were empty and the dance floor full the entire night. They worked the crowd very well keeping everyone moving and engaged. We had some great moments when they called the Bride and Groom up on stage!
I simply can't say enough. All the feedback from everyone, 210 in attendance,was that they were awesome. One young girl told us that she had more fun at this wedding than at her own!
Please pass on my sincere thanks to all band members for providing us with a magical night filled with many great memories.
I am happy to pass on the reputation of the band to anyone in that area that would need a band.
Again...we are so grateful for a wonderful evening!

Hi Beth:
Thanks for your followup regarding A Town A List and their performance at Caroline's wedding. We had a ball and everyone in the band was great. When we got way behind on the Day's event timeline, they adjusted beautifully and played almost a solid two hours straight without a break. They interacted beautifully with the crowd, kept everyone excited and enthused, and seemed to enjoy playing the music just as much as we enjoyed dancing and listening to it. In fact, a few of us who have now been to multiple events where A Town A List has played, are considering becoming the Dead Head equivalent of groupies who simply follow these guys around from venue to venue.
I made it a point to personally thank every member of the band, as well as their support team, for such a great party honoring my daughter Caroline. Come to think of it, they might not have appreciated the sweaty Father of the Bride giving each of them a big thank you hug, but I did it anyway. I only expect my daughter to get married once and these talented musicians and entertainers made it a perfect celebration for everyone who attended. Please let them know how appreciative I am of their talent, their engaging style, and their professionalism.
Many thanks.

We seriously danced until we were exhausted and me and the Groom were one of the last ones standing because we didn't want to stop dancing. They had everyone, old and young out on the dance floor and had people wanting to stay longer. I wish I could recommend this band to everyone because they made our wedding that much more fun.

So for the delayed response. Let's just say its been a little difficult to get back into my daily routines since our wedding weekend. ATown AList was out of this world amazing! They had the dance floor packed even before salads were served. Jason and I will never forget eating our salads while being surrounded by our family/friends dancing around us. Not only did they keep the dance floor packed, their energy and talent surpassed all of our expectations. Over and over again we heard that they were THE BEST wedding band anyone has ever experienced.
Your team did a wonderful job arranging all the details.

Let me just say that after the first 45 people that come up to you, in all sincerity, to tell you that the band is great… best I have ever seen at a wedding… get me their card, well you sort of run out of things to say other than thanks, I agree. But when it becomes almost everyone one who attended that is saying that, well that is quite a statement. ATAL was beyond a hit – they made the party – they were stupendous. We knew that the musicianship would be top notch (although was even better live, and the guitar player blew people away especially when doing the Stones), but what can’t come through on video are the personalities and the chemistry of every member of the group. The kids wanted to invite them all to the after party just to hang but it was already late and I knew they had a long drive ahead! I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you all learned an extra new song – Into the Mystic going into the couple’s favorite song of all time, DITD, was the tone setter for the evening. Annie, I kid you not when saying that the dance floor was packed from beginning until the end at 1 AM other than for mandatory breaks. Someone commented to me that at one point they looked around from the dance floor and swore that not a person was sitting. Another person commented that they had never seen the floor packed at the very end of a party, that usually it starts dwindling, but not here. Others marveled at the variety of the music selection and how each was pitch perfect. And about a dozen people came up to me after and the next day to tell me, unequivocally, that this was the best Hora they have ever seen (which was a specific request of mine which I appreciate you guy taking to heart)! You need two things for a great party: a great crowd and a great band – nothing else matters. We were so fortunate to have them both. Please extend our heartfelt thanks and admiration to Genevieve, Dustin, James and the rest (I apologize I can’t remember the names). Feel free to use us as a referral at any time.

The ATown AList was AMAZING!!!! The band was definitely the highlight of the night. I met beforehand with the lead singer and just told him to play along with the crowd.. I do not think there was a point in the night where at least 3/4 of the guests were NOT on the dance floor!! Which is AWESOME!! The dance floor was jam packed all night long!

Like I wish we were friends with all of them and could hang out, they are so fun, cool, talented, lively, and they kept people dancing the whole night through. Just when we thought it couldn't get better they would play something else and mix it up and seriously no ONE wanted to leave the dance floor!! They were INCREDIBLE!!! And the best decision we made the whole wedding (outside our venue and planning team)!! Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing and fun and how they were the best wedding band they have ever heard (which is why we picked them of course; duh; haha). Nick and I are praying we keep up our hard work and careers up so we'll have another excuse to throw another massive party/event and invite these guys back to play at it!!! Seriously.

ATown AList was simply amazing at Elise & Ethan's wedding in September We could not have asked for a more talented, professional team to perform at their wedding. As promised, they moved the crowd, sang spectacularly, and delivered a performance unmatched from any other wedding we have been to. We are nearly 3 months later and our guests are still raving about the band. Thanksgiving day was the first time since the wedding we had an opportunity to see some of the people who attended the reception. So many of our relatives and friends are still talking about how much fun they had. In the words of our videographer, ATown blew off the roof of the elegant country club!
Please extend our thanks to the band members and to Annie for their hard work and fantastic performance. They are a very special people. I loved how they came onto the floor with everyone. I sure hope we can have them perform at more family weddings.

My Husband asked the band for another last dance and they were nice enough to deliver. They even took the time to learn the song for my grandparents, When Irish Eyes are Smiling, and totally nailed it. The process was so easy and everything turned out perfect!

Hi Annie, Mike,
Please know that this email is not being written while I am on a wedding high. I thought about the event this morning and received feedback from many of the guests at the brunch; the consensus is that the band could not have been better. They were polite, enthusiastic, and respectful of the schedule. But what had everyone talking is how good they were! Terrific musicians that were clearly having a great time. Their enthusiasm was infectious. The dance floor was packed. The band played appropriate songs at the appropriate time in such a way that felt spontaneous. They learned Born to Run for the event and killed it!
What really sealed the deal for me was my interaction with the band's manager at the end of the night. He was so nice and congratulatory despite a very long day of travel and performing. The entire band just seemed happy to be there and that went a long long way. You guys have a top notch operation and I will enthusiastically recommend you to anyone I know that needs a band in the southeast. These guys are worth every penny!
Thank you!

Sorry for the delay. We have been trying to catch up after returning from cloud nine and our minimoon at Keswick. What an incredible weekend and last Friday was truly the best day of our lives!
ATown was beyond incredible. WOW. They rocked it!
They worked with us and with our planner very well. I personally spent some time with two of the singers the day of the wedding, and they couldn't have been more genuinely excited to be there and they really catered their sets to our crowd. They (and the rest of the band/crew) are truly talented and every bit of what true professionalism is all about.
We were so very lucky to have been able to book them. Thank you for making that happen.
We received SO many compliments from our guests and one even mentioned having ATown play at their daughter's wedding in 2016 in the NY/Connecticut area. I will need to confirm they are serious about it and if so, will certainly connect you with them if that is OK.
Thanks again for everything. Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

A Town A List crushed it tonight. Like seriously, crushed it. It is really an incredibly feeling as a wedding planner (who thrives off of OCD and Type A attention to detail) when I can fully rely on a band to run an event smoothly. I actually started writing this review at 2am last night because I was so eager to tell you how amazing they were (not that you needed that affirmation) and awoke this morning to a keyboard crushed onto my face... so let that proves the point that you knowing how incredible they were was that important to me.
I have truly never heard so many wedding guests talk so much about the band!!! Everyone was asking who they were, where they were based out of and when they could use them for a next event. I overheard two moms talking about booking them for their daughters weddings because they had to have the best of the best. Everyone was so impressed and blown away. And everyone was dancing the whole entire time, I seriously don't think the dance floor was ever empty! A Town A List knows hows to keep the party going and keep all the guests of all generations entertained!
I will always admire A Town A List's ability to never lose energy. Every time I work with them they never cease to impress me with their professionalism, their charm and their joy. They will always be my favorite band to work with and I will always always recommend my girls to use them. You know a wedding is in good hands with them on stage. You know a bride is going to love her reception when a band takes such a genuine interest and care into making her wedding day perfect.
I am so incredibly thankful for another chance to work with Sam Hill and Ryan Stuart... best team :)

Dear Andy,
Thank you for contacting me. We were so happy with the ATown AList. Here is a copy of the letter which I wrote to Annie from ATown AList yesterday. I think this says it all....
Dear Annie,
How can we begin to say thanks for the most FABULOUS night! ATown AList blew the roof off of every dream and expectation we had. Phenomenal, Fantastic, Exciting, Warm, Wonderful, Electric, Endearing, and perfect in every way is how we would describe their performance. We have heard the words That Band Was Amazing from every single one of our guests (and many have repeated it to us more than once)!
We were amazed at how quickly and expertly the band assessed our crowd and then put together an evening that matched their enthusiasm and then took that enthusiasm up to unimaginable levels. From ages 8 to 80 everyone was on the dance floor, everyone was smiling and everyone was having the time of their life!
The Hora was so high spirited and exactly what the bride and groom wanted. The slow dance numbers had tremendous soul and the dance numbers rocked the house!!! We loved each and every member of the band and cannot thank them enough for their energy and their seemingly effortless ability to connect our friends and family. We were so impressed with their musical abilities, their dancing prowess, their huge smiles, and their genuine warmth. We could not envision or imagine a more perfect band for our son's wedding celebration.
Truly, the greatest gift you have given us, is that you have helped us bring joy and create memories for our family and friends that will last for a very long time to come. We are BEYOND THANKFUL.
Please extend one more thank you to every member of the ATown AList team from us.
We hope we are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to spend another evening with the band at a future event.

Andy,
ATown AList was AWESOME!!!!!!! Please always recommend them to my clients. Professional, detailed, caring, fun and amazing performers. The whole band was fantastic. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Seriously a dance party the whole time. They even played Whip and Nae Nae because the six year old ring bearer requested it and it brought down the house. The hashtag was #thrillerwedding and they did the Thriller Dance with them. We also had a random dance set after first course because well the guests couldn't help but dance. HUGE HIT!

Hi Mike,
I don't think I can say enough great things about the band...just wow. They were simply amazing. Every time I talked to one of our guests during the night, the first thing out of their mouth was Your band is AWESOME! People couldn't stop talking about them. They really made the night, and it wouldn't have been then same without their amazing energy and talent.
Our wedding planner said so many great things about their manager Annie. She was so impressed with how organized and great they were.
Thank you so much for everything!

Hi Andy,
ATown AList was AWESOME, and kept the dance floor packed. We had a good deal of members walk by and ask for their card, so I think we’ll be seeing them join us more often! Annie was a dream to work with, and the band couldn’t have been more professional or accommodating.
I know they’re joining us at least one time in the future for another reception, and we’re already looking forward to it.
Thanks for checking in!

Just wanted to give a resounding round of applause for the ATown List band. They were incredible. Their customer service and attention to detail were amazing. Their performance was amazing. Their kindness and personable nature with the vendors and with the bride and groom were amazing.
ATown is my new favorite band! I want to work with them again and next time, add some horns!! :)

Beth and Annie,
The band was amazing! We received countless guest compliments about how great the band was and the dance floor was continuously packed. Many of our guests said the wedding was among the best they had ever attended and we know a big part of it was their amazing experience with The ATown AList.
The band played to the crowd's reactions and adjusted their song choices accordingly throughout the evening. They played many of the songs JR and I had requested in our initial questionnaire from the band. We were incredibly impressed and delighted that we chose this band.
We also want to thank Annie Morgan for her responsiveness and attention to all of our questions during the planning process with the band. The band perfectly executed the custom edit of our first dance!
We will highly recommend The ATown AList to others.
Thank you,

Andy,
I hope this finds you doing well! We were absolutely thrilled with the ATown AList! It has been over 3 months from since our wedding and we are still receiving compliments on the Band. Without a doubt, this was the best money we spent on the wedding reception.
Not only did they check all the boxes of professionalism: timely and on time for the day of the wedding, responsive, clear in communication and helpful, but they are incredibly talented! They had wonderful high energy (their promo videos do not do them justice!) and had a terrific read on the crowd they were playing to young and old, fancy New Yorkers and downtoearth Midwesterners. Each and every one of guests had a wonderful time – and they even got my Dad out of the dance floor (this simply never happens). The dance floor was packed the entire reception. Our crowd was also filled with guests that have been on the “wedding circuit” for several years now, and even these very seasoned wedding guests have continued to go on at length about how amazing the ATown Alist was. Wedding band skeptics (yes, those people do exist) were also silenced by the performance of the ATown Alist. The band has great stage presence and vocal talent, but were also flexible and accommodating, they were able to play an extra chorus of one song the crowd was really digging. The breadth of their coverage list was also impressive and perfect for a varied crowd oldie classics, current pop hits and a sprinkling of 90s / 80s. They were on point with song selection based on the list of songs we asked them to play / not play. A member of the band also served as the MC for us during dinner and he did an exceptional job. True professionals that deliver an unparalleled performance.
The ATown Alist and you, Andy, were a true pleasure to work with. As their booking manager, hold on to them! Our expectations were far exceeded! Thanks so much for everything,

A Town A List was AMAZING! The band kept people on the dance floor all night. Literally, from the kiddos dancing during dinner, to guests dancing all night long even after I brought out three casino tables, the dance floor was full. They fulfilled every request we had made with learning new songs and changing words to fit our situation. They were incredible. All of our guests were blown away and still talking about them days later. They couldn't believe we had never seen them perform before we booked. The band blew away our expectations. I wish we could have hired them for longer! They played a variety of songs new and old that fit every age group. I would recommend them to anyone!

The band was Amazing!! It seemed like our guests were enjoying the music from beginning to end. Our daughter mentioned several times throughout the wedding day how much she was looking forward to the music and dancing. It was one of the things that was at the top of her most important list. I KNOW they were everything she was hoping for and more....we could tell by the happiness on her face when she was on the dance floor! We had a few special requests that I don't think they normally incorporate, but they fit them in beautifully. We really appreciate the way they worked to make the night exactly what we wanted.
I hope the band felt like it was a fun crowd and enjoyed their time with us. Please let them know how much we appreciate them making the evening such a fun and memorable time!
Mark and Janet Boon
We had a blast with A Town A List! I met with Mr. & Mrs. Dilegge on Monday and they said they received lots of great feedback about the bad from their guests. The bride and groom were so happy. I think Mrs. Dilegge was working on providing reviews this week, so you may want to check your Facebook page for new reviews that is where she put the review for my company.
From my standpoint, I can’t thank you and the band enough for being so easy to work with, both before and during the wedding. I would be happy to leave a review as well, just let me know where you prefer that I post that, or if you’d rather have an email. I wouldn’t mind at all if you wanted to add me to a testimonial list.
I honestly could not offer one suggestion for improvement, I am so pleased!
Happy New Year to you and all the band please express my gratitude to them as well!

The dance floor was packed the entire night! We have a photo taken from the balcony that shows all the tables empty and the dance floor packed! They are true professionals. The wedding party walked in to Sirius by Alan Parsons Project which we had on a playlist. The music was running out before the bride and groom walked in and (I think it was them) they put the song on repeat. Not a beat was missed! We are truly grateful and we were pleasantly surprised that they played through their last break!!

Hello ATown AList,
Thank you for an incredible performance during our wedding reception on November 22nd at The Corcoran Gallery of Art. Your band BLEW. US. AWAY. Since the wedding we have been giving your name to guests and engaged couples who wrote and called us in the days after the wedding to ask Who was that awesome band?. We can not express how much your performance shaped the whole night. All Bobby and I wanted for our reception was good food and a dance party. Luckily you guys were able to be a big part of us accomplishing our goal.
Do you keep set lists of your performances? Bobby and I would love to make a playlist of all the songs from the night. Maybe every year on our anniversary we will have a dance party in ATown AList's honor.
Again, THANK YOU! If there is anything we can do for you, say the word. Pictures, videos, blurbs, Knot reviews, etc. We would love to do something small in return for such an incredible performance.
Best,
Kate and Bobby Brown

Things were perfect! Camden and Gavin were having such a great time that they did not want the night to end. Everything about the band could NOT have been better. They were great to work with and played great music. Guests at the yacht club said it was the best band there in the history of the yacht club. They made the partyhappen all night long and kept people on the dance floor that normally don't dance. Our light stixs helped but the band made it an event to remember.
Our daughter Camden got engaged right before Thanksgiving last year and the first thing she wanted to do about wedding planning was get a good band. We listened to so many over the weekend and A town A list was in the top bunch. She said they were over budget but The band makes the party so she chose them. It turned out to be our best decision. EVERYONE loved them and we are thrilled with our memories of that evening. They were nice, courteous, concerned that things went well and made sure that the bride was happy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Can not say enough good things about them!

This is a group that takes their sound and performance quality very seriously. At show time, they looked & sounded awesome! Each person had great showmanship, and huge TALENT! The blend of brilliant musicians (WOW – electric guitar) and 4 incredible lead singers, the ATown AList is tremendous live. They’re interaction with the audience kept the perfect vibe going the entire night.

We knew from all of the promo videos that we were going to have a great band… I mean seriously, look at those gorgeous videos! We even told all of our friends to get excited about it. Even with all this, we were still blown away. These guys know how to BRING the party… They did a phenomenal job of playing the kind of music that we wanted. We gave some suggestions and some “mustplays,” but they do a wide variety of music styles and ask that you trust them to feel out the crowd. Here’s the thing: trust them. Seriously. Our wedding had a mixed crowd, with about half young 20and 30somethings and half older relatives, and our dance floor was absolutely packed!! They had my 92 year old grandmother up and dancing to Party Rock and loving every second of it (made for some truly great photo opportunities). This was really what we were going for, as we have several more conservative relatives that we worried wouldn’t agree with our partyhard attitude for the wedding, but the band truly made everyone feel at ease, welcome, and happy. Not to mention they play numerous current songs that we were hoping for that aren’t on their website.
They had us going with a group choreographed dance to “Thriller,” there was a mini dance competition between the bride and groom (the bride won), and everyone was literally lying on the floor during the “little bit softer now” part of “Shout!” (more great pictures). If you want the live energetic experience, look no further – ATown AList is the band you want!!! All of the members are amazing, fun, and dedicated to making this an experience that no one will soon forget. Thanks for everything guys!!! Two months later, our friends haven’t stopped talking about how amazing our reception was!

Hi Andy!
OH MY GOSH! Our wedding was the most magical, perfect evening of our entire lives! The ATown AList made the whole evening! Leading up to our wedding we had one wish, and that was that everyone had the time of their life! We wanted a huge party and that is definitely what we got with ATown AList!
First let me start by saying that we went out on a limb by booking ATown AList. We have never heard them live, we don't know anyone who has ever heard them live, and we found them on YouTube! This turned out to be the best risk we have ever taken! Leading up to our wedding, everyone at Sam Hill Entertainment was fabulous to work with. All of our calls and emails were returned immediately, and any questions or concerns we had were always addressed promptly. When you are planning your entire wedding there are so many vendors, details and loose ends to deal with it is such a relief when people are so professional and make you feel at ease.
Even though we were completely confident in our choice in hiring this band, when we finally got to meet them before the start of our reception, we knew that they were going to provide us with an amazing night! Right from the start they were totally engaged with all 115 people at our wedding. They coordinated with the members of the wedding party and my father who were giving toasts. They worked with our wedding coordinator in ensuring that they took a break at the right time (which it didn't even feel like they took a single break) and announced our cake cutting and tossing of the bouquet and garter. They even took the time to learn a special song that I wanted to dedicate to my husband. When I asked him the next morning what his favorite part of the whole night was, his response: When the band played I'm the Man! That made me so happy!
Most importantly, this amazing band literally kept every single guest we had on the dance floor the entire night! It was like a dream come true! There were people at our wedding who we never thought we would see dance in a million years, that were on the dance floor having a blast all night long!
If we could relive that night a thousand times we would in a heart beat! Everything about it was magical and the memories we made are unforgettable. We want to thank ATown AList for helping make our wedding a million times better than we ever thought possible!
Thanks a million times over!

Good Morning Beth: I don't really know where to start, there are so many wonderful things to share about ATown AList, but first of all they are all great, professional people who are extremely talented and they kept everyone on the dance floor the entire wedding. I knew they would, I saw what they brought at Park Tavern over the summer of last year and with the list of people who would be attending our wedding it was EPIC!
It was interesting to know that they start the night without really a set play list and both the band and the guests feed off the energy and they were truly amazing. I'm a fan, I will travel to see them if they ever play in a public venue again that's within reach. It was everything that I hoped it would be and much, much more. I didn't want it to end.
Rudy introduced me to the crowd before I played a song that I'd chosen to play for my Daughter, Allison from Green Day called Time Of Your Life and once I finished they all posed with me onstage for pictures which I will share all of them with you once we get them back from the photographer. It really meant a lot to me and I know that you have already gotten one booking from my recommendation from an employee of Lake Lanier Islands and several others asked me how to get in touch with the band for future events.
I love live music, I love people who are professional, who are real, and who care about what they do. These young people envelop all the good things in life and helped us make our Daughter's Wedding The Time Of Their Lives. The best money I have ever spent. I will be forever grateful to them.

ATown was 100% awesome! I knew the band was good but they were even better than expected. We had an absolute blast. Everyone danced from the time they started playing to the end. The only people not dancing were the elderly and physically impaired, no lie. I've been to a lot of weddings and so many times people sit while the band plays and get up once the DJ starts during the bands break. This was the exact opposite. The band and the guest took breaks at the same time. We all needed a breather. I have had peoples tell me, The band made the wedding, Wedding of a lifetime, Best wedding I have every been to. Keep it up guys, I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the ATown AList!!! They were AMAZING! People are still talking about how much fun they had and asking what band was that? One of our friends actually booked them for their own wedding in May in Clayton NC!
Thanks so much!

Hi Andy!
Sorry for the delayed response... it's been a bit of a whirlwind!
The wedding was fantastic, and ATown was off the hook amazing!!! We had myriad comments that they were the best wedding band that people had ever heard. Going
with them was one of the best decisions of the wedding. In addition to being stellar musicians, they also read the crowd beautifully....old school classics at the beginning of the dancing that was appropriate for all generations all the way to Blurred Lines and Nirvana at the end when things were, shall we say, a bit more animated ;).
I would recommend any of the bands without hesitation. Thanks so much in helping to facilitate an amazing experience!!!
Warm regards,
Michelle Demus Auerbach

Hi, Mike
I can't say enough about how much we LOVED ATown AList. They were absolutely amazing. From the second they hit the stage they had our guests out on the dance floor. Dancing was the part we were most looking forward to and ATown completely exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. I could on and on.
I'm actually sad that I won't get to them perform again. I'll have to convince my friends to use them as well!
Thank you so much for you assistance throughout this process. I've already recommended Sam Hill to a bunch of people who asked how I found ATown.
Best,
Molly
Hey Frank,
Wow! Ryan and the guys “knocked it out of the park”! With such an event (entertaining our customers), there is sometimes apprehension. “Did I make the right choice?” “Will my guest like them?” You get the picture. I wanted to let you know that those fears were quickly put to rest by Ryan and the band. I have never worked with more accommodating folks! Ryan’s words to me were “trust me”. I’m glad I did! And what did my guests think? They were blown away! From the first song to the last, they could not get enough! The comments were “best band you’ve ever had”! I agree with them! We will use them again! I just wanted to thank you for sending them my way. Please don’t hesitate to consider me as a reference for these guys. I would recommend them at any event or level!!
Thanks again!

Andy,
ATown AList made the wedding the amazing event that it was. We are sending each band member thank you notes once we get settled in. Every guest had a great time with the music and every member of that band is wildly talented. They were the best money we spent on the entire event and they made the wedding day incredibly special. My dad danced until I was guessing he would pass out. Everyone was dancing crazy and having an amazing time feeding if not only their music but their energy and interaction with the crowd.
I am already trying to make up a reason to have a band party to have them back. Of all the people that were part of wedding, Caroline and I both continue to talk about how amazing Atown is what made it what we imagined it would be.

Hey Andrew~!
A TOWN A LIST WAS AMAZING! I have NEVER been to a wedding where people have chanted one more song at the band. And when they did play one more song, the crowd chanted it again. No one left the dance floor or the reception. I didn't leave until 12:30 am and if the band had kept going, who knows how much longer I would have been there. I can't tell you how many compliments I had on our band, and how many people asked if they could use it at their next event.
The President of the Mardi Gras Association wanted to know how much they were so he could book them for the next Mardi Gras season, ( not sure what their budget was though, so we will see). I am still getting compliments on how amazingly FUN my wedding was, and that was what we were going for, and I know A Town A List played a huge part in that!
Please send them my Gratitude! It truly was a PHENOMENAL NIGHT. At one point the entire room was shaking from people jumping up and down. My dad, who's not the biggest fan of pop music, is now obsessed with I gotta feelin because of the wedding. My mom says he plays it on repeat!!
Thank you!

Well, everyone that was at the reception is still talking about ATeam AList and how fabulous they all were! I can honestly say they are the very best band that I have ever heard. My husband's favorite band has always been the band of oz, but now after hearing your band, well, he has changed his mind! He says that your ATeam AList has it going on and are definitely on their A game, and now his favorite band. We were at a party in Goldsboro last weekend and people there were talking about how great they heard ATeam AList was at the Crawford wedding reception. We confirmed to everyone that what they had heard was true..i sincerely hope that I get another chance to hear them one day......their professionalism and performance was over the top, they had everyone dancing and rocking to every song!
AWESOME doesn't do them justice!!!
I remember choking a little when Lauren told me how much they cost, but I wanted Lauren to be happy and for her wedding to be a fairy tale......so I said to Lauren, book them if that is what you want. We did book them and I can honestly say that they were worth every penny I spent and then some. Hope to see them on tv or somewhere famous in the future, best money I have ever spent and absolutely no regrets hiring them! They made lauren and sam's wedding reception a fairy tale indeed...........what fabulous memories we will have of that fun filled night!!!!
Lauren's maid of honor Lindsay has a wedding coming up in September, her dad was there and went up to ATeam AList during their break time to inquire about them playing for Lindsay's wedding reception in September. I don't know what has happened since then, but I can honestly say that they must have made and impression on Lindsay's dad and mom.

Ryan I just want to tell you and the rest of your band how awesome you were at our daughter's wedding this past Saturday in Highlands, NC. We can never thank you enough for making Lindsey and Brendan's wedding the best wedding I have ever been do and according to all of our guests the best wedding they have ever been to as well!! Great, awesome, fabulous, terrific, really good, unbelievable are only a few of the words used to describe how wonderful you all were.

Truly, the ATown AList was a sensation!!! I am so happy that I booked you all as it really made the wedding. Everyone is talking about how, during the Maid of Honor's speech you did the impromptu rendition of that song for Joanna and Erica! Simply awesome!
Everyone had the time of their life, and hands down everyone said that it was the best wedding band they had ever heard. My nephew said that it was more like a concert than a band! All of the songs sounded even better than the originals! His daughter was one of the children who got her photo taken with the girl singer....and she cherishes it! She was a great addition as I did not know that you all had a female in the group!
Thanks again for an unforgettable night! It was simply spectacular....please keep me in mind if you need any wedding recommendations in the future. We could not have been more pleased with the results, and felt like you all put your heart and souls into the entire night! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Honestly, I can hardly find words to express how thrilled we were that they were at our wedding.
Thank you to each of the band members, to Ryan and everyone else at Sam Hill Entertainment for being so wonderful to work with! I may just have to plan another party so that we can hire them again!

ATown band exceeded all our expectations on providing entertainment and dancing music for our daughter's wedding! There was not one person sitting down during the reception...there was a whole lot of getting down on the dance floor! We had so many compliments from both the young and old on how incredible the band was! One guest said he had not danced that much in fifteen years! The bride and groom said they could not of asked for more in their wedding band and that critique is the most important one! The band truly made the reception a fun filled, unforgettable wedding reception for all!! I have a younger daughter and I will definitely use ATown again!

I wanted to send you a quick note about our wedding party that took place this last Saturday in Chapel Hill. ATown was absolutely fabuloushandsdown the best and most talented live party band most of the guests had ever seen. Because of hurricane Sandy, the party crowd was much smaller than anticipated. While this could have dampened the enthusiasm of the band members, they continued to play like they were playing to a crowd in Yankee stadium and personalized the evening so much for usworth every penny!
Please pass on our thanks to the band. We really can't thank them enough for such a great evening.

They surpassed everyone's expectations and I know that all of the guests had a fantastic time. We tend to have pretty enthusiastic friends, so I hope we didn't freak them out with the intense close dancing and singing :).
After they found out that PJ and I (as well as most of the wedding guests) went to Princeton, they mentioned that they played there last year at the 10th reunion? I can't believe I didn't realize that we go to reunions every year and I would have been ecstatic to see them just a few months before the wedding.

Everyone in attendance commented how wonderful they thought the band was, and I completely agree. Their music was very professional, the emcee duties were done very well, and they brought enormous energy to the party.
At the end of the night as they were breaking down their equipment I stopped by to give them their tips and thank them, and had a really nice chat with them. On top of being terrific musicians, they seem to be genuinely nice people who enjoy what they do. They must be an “easy sell” for you!

Hi Beth,
Thanks for following up with us on this. The band was awesome. And not just kind of awesome, they were ridiculously awesome. We can't tell you how many of our guests have said ATown was by far and away the best band they have ever seen at a wedding. Most followed that up by saying ATown was the kind of band they'd pay to see in concert.
We picked our wedding venue (The Melting Point) because of our love for music, especially live music. And we booked ATown because we thought they'd be able to put on a show that rivaled the best acts we've seen there. They definitely did not disappoint. From the moment they took the stage to the last song they played, they did a fantastic job. They had all of our friends and family dancing the entire night, and that is exactly what we were hoping for. I'd like to specifically mention the song Ali's Dad wrote for their FatherDaughter dance. On short notice the band was able to learn the song and they played it to perfection, making that moment even more special than it already was.
Ali and I would like to personally thank Ryan and the entire band for making our wedding reception pretty much the most awesome party ever. You guys were everything we hoped for and more. Now we just have to think of another reason to throw a party so we can book you guys again....
Thanks again for everything,

Hi Beth,
I was just about to send you an email to sing the praises of the A Town A List! To say that the band was a huge success would be a gross understatement! This was the first time our company has had live music at a holiday party and I was a little nervous at the response (not nervous about the band as I have heard them before and had complete trust) I was not disappointed! The dance floor stayed busy the entire night! The compliments have not stopped coming in and the band is the buzz around the office! Everyone that attended agreed that this was the best party the company has ever had and it is ALL thanks to the A Town A List! People have been saying that they must be at the holiday party next year and one girl wants them to play at her wedding! I cannot thank you all enough for being the easiest vendor to deal with and by far the most rewarding. The A Town A List WAS the party and I am so thankful!

Hi Beth,
I'm so sorry for the delay getting back to youhave been playing catchup since getting back from my honeymoon!
In any event, I'm almost at a loss to express how much we loved ATown AList. When we were first looking for a band, I think I told you that my fiance and I were really apprehensive: we don't usually like wedding bands, and he comes from a very musical family that has incredibly exacting taste. Most bands we listened to we thought sounded cheesy and/or mediocre. But let me just say that when it comes to ATown AList, they are anything but. We were honestly floored by how amazing they were, how talented and charismatic; the dance floor was packed for hours; and even our photographer (who goes to weddings every week) said they were by far the best band she had ever heard. I can't tell you how many people have mentioned the band to us since and said that they were simply blown away. Plus, the guys are so nice and easy to work with. I honestly could go on and on...
Anyway, THANK YOU! And if there's anything I can do (any sort of testimonial to write, etc.) to help spread the word about these guys, please, please let me know.

They were phenomenal. They weren't kind of good, they were absolutely over the top incredible. They showed up early, they were set up, they were prepared, they followed everything in the contract (even the special requests). They were supereasy to deal with I had a million demands, and they met and exceeded all of them.
They were truly one of the highlights of our entire wedding week, which was essentially a week long party culminating with the wedding reception. All of our guests we had 130 people that flew in from all over the United States agreed that the band was one of the best they'd ever heard. One of the girls who told me that had hired Earth, Wind & Fire to do one of her events. That's one of the best compliments a band can receive. They were over the top incredible, and I would never hesitate in a million years to hire them again or recommend them to anyone. We do a lot of big events throughout the year, and people have already been talking about them.
Anyway, big compliments to all of them, and thanks to Sam Hill for recommending them and helping us through the entire process.

Words cannot express how impressed I was at Haynes and Walkers reception last night. As a wedding planner, I couldn't begin to estimate how many bands I have seen, but I have never worked with one as nice, professional, and talented as The ATown AList. I was not aware that a set list could be as broad as theirs, but I promise if you can think of it, these guys can do it and do it well. Thanks again, Meghan and Iook forward to many more events as entertaining as last night!

Beth,
The band was fantastic. We got many nice compliments about them, and I am sure you will get more business as a result of the outstanding performance. Many people told us it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended.
Thank you for checking in. They were absolutely amazing!

The ATown, AList lives up its name. They are an AList act! A++++++ ALL THE WAY! Not only do they keep the party going all night, but they are friendly, professional and timely. As an event planner, I love that they are excellent communicators! That means so much when you are working with a band, especially when working with a band for a wedding! Some bands try to treat a wedding as a gig making all sorts of demands, letting you know what they do rather than remembering that it is not all about them, but about the couple who just got married. The ATown AList entertains on the behalf of the couple. They make the show personal, add extra touches, and do EVERYTHING and more that is requested of them from the couple!
I WILL be working with them again!

Do yourself a favor and book The ATown AList band for your event. There will be no regrets. In fact, you'll have a goto band for life!

The ATown AList event band takes the guesswork out of event entertainment.... They hit a grand slam every time. Quality, nationallevel entertainment. The energy, variety and excellence of their show is amazing.

The Atown AList is hands down the best, most entertaining option for private event entertainment that I have seen. The musicians and vocalists in the band are captivating to be sure, but it doesn't stop there. They are true performers, interacting with the crowd and delivering something for everyone. Best yet, their dedication to excellence is evident in their communication and all of the business done offstage. I have found The ATown AList to be a breath of fresh air, in so many ways. Worth every penny!

I still hear from my friends that go on and on about how the band was the best, and it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. It made my wedding perfect. YOU GUYS made my wedding perfect! If there is anything I can do for you, just say the word.
