We will certainly leave a glowing review on The Knot as well for our experience with the band as well as Sam Hill.
Thanks so much for everything again.

Mike,
Thank you! We appreciate the note.
We really, really, loved Another Level. They were incredibly fun, talented, and engaged with us and the crowd. I had multiple people tell me after that they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. Granted I am biased, but I definitely agree with them. They truly were amazing and we're very grateful to them for making it such a fun and special night.
Sam Hill and the logistical lead up was also very smooth and we were happy with the process overall. We will definitely recommend to anyone we are able.
Please pass along our gratitude to the Another Level crew, and let me know if there's anywhere you'd like me to post a public review of them as I'd be happy to do so. Thanks again

Hey Mike,
Thanks for reaching out. Deanna and I just got back from honeymooning in Thailand and have spent the last couple of weeks reminiscing on what an amazing wedding weekend we had.
In talking with our family, loved ones, and friends, one of the most common compliments we have received is on the Another Level Band. Everyone told us how impressive, in tune with the crowd, and highly skilled they were. We can't help but agree!! We even had a few guests ask for the band's contact information so that they could book them for their own event in the future!
During the planning process, we got in touch with Kevin at Another Level about a month before the wedding. Kevin put us at ease and clearly demonstrated his musical professionalism. It was clear to us that Another Level was very experienced, and that they would know how to read a crowd and put on the best show possible. I was especially impressed with the bands ability to play smooth jazz music during our dinner, effectively emcee our whole evening, read the crowd and decide on the spot what songs were best to play, heavily involve the bride and groom throughout the evening (we were invited up on stage and got to sing a couple of songs which the crowd LOVED!), how professional the musicians were individually, how flexible the band was with us and our timeline, and despite the fact that the lead female vocalist was out sick, the replacement singer was AMAZING!
We have been flooded with compliments about how fun the band was, and how everyone wishes the party would have kept going!! We would highly recommend both Sam Hill Entertainment and Another Level Band to anyone looking for a great experience for their next event.
Thank you Mike!!
Best,
John

In summary, another level was amazing. They exceeded our expectations exponentially and made our wedding reception. We’re incredibly fortunate to have been able to work with them, especially at their price point. I was pulled aside multiple times throughout the night by people complimenting the band and asking how we found them.

Another Level was stellar in every capacity. Kevin was a great communicator leading up to the wedding day, and the whole band was awesome the day of. I thought they did an exceptional job with transitioning from sets to speeches/toast/breaks and back, keeping the party going seamlessly. I also thought the setlist was awesome, with a great balance of energy and genres. I'm still unclear how it came about, but a friend of mine in a band was invited to step in and play a song with the band, which was an awesome surprise for everyone. The whole night was amazing and the dance floor was full. I'm already recommending the band to friends with upcoming weddings, so hopefully I'll see them all again soon.

Just speaking for myself, we had a fantastic time and I think the band did, too. I don’t know who else the sax player was with but he is fantastic. We were a small group, but everyone danced and lots of people wanted their info. Perhaps we were an older crowd, they played older music, but I hope they have current music in their line up as well. I’d book them again in a minute.

We’re so glad that you asked about the band! We had a perfect weather day, a perfect ceremony, and a perfect reception (many thanks to our “perfect” wedding planner Kate Phillips), and of course we had tons of positive comments about Another Level. They were simply terrific!
To be more specific:
they played music for all the generations!
they played requested songs, too
they involved the crowd and even had a couple guests from the crowd on stage, including of course the newly married couple
they played new popular songs really well, too (Bruno Mars, etc.)
and the BEST compliment of all: the dance floor stayed packed, and we do mean absolutely PACKED, all the way until the end of the reception.
In summary, we felt like Another Level delivered, AND THEN SOME. We would highly recommend this band to anyone. They were happy, energetic, and complete professionals, including their sound man John.
We are so grateful!!! Please share our comments with the band!! We could not have been happier with Another Level!!

Hi Andy:
Wanted to share my very positive feedback on Another Level before I get back into my postMotheroftheBride life and will encourage Mary Cate and David later this month.
Another Level was excellent to work with, very professional, and very responsive to our requests for the play list and more. CCV definitely is experienced with them and the arrangements were easy to accommodate. The band also contacted Mary Cate a few days before again to see if there were any changes. Another Level definitely read our reception crowd and got everyone (all ages) dancing. The play time, breaks, and selections were ideal. We had also asked for a New Orleanslike send off for the new couple led by the saxaphonist drawing the dancing crowd outside was a perfect ending to an evening that went so fast.
The vocal quality and musicianship was great. Could listen to their cover of Etta James all night. And would definitely recommend them to others for future events. Please pass my appreciation on to the band!

Another Level was absolutely spectacular! I will admit that I find many live bands at weddings to come across as cheesy and below par. However, Another Level exceeded all expectations and then some. The first song, I actually leaned over to see them better and make sure it was them singing and not an iPod. Great! They kept the crowd engaged, and in a fun way! I have already referred them to other wedding consultants in my area!

Another Level was the perfect band for my daughter's reception. She said the one thing she wanted to be sure of with her wedding was to have a great band, and Another Level was that and more! They are so nice and easy to work with (Shayne, the female singer is the contact person, and she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet). When we got to the reception, the band was already playing, and then Shayne came over to make sure she had the pronunciations correct for the introductions, and just managed the whole reception flawlessly, knowing when to break, how to announce the cake cutting, toasts, and the bouquet toss. The rest of the band members are all gentlemen, and such fun to talk to. They will take requests, and even allowed my brother to play drums on a song with them! Finally, the best part was their talent, as they played a nice variety of songs, that fit everyone's tastes, and played them as well as the original artists! ! I told them their audio/video on their website is excellent, but they are even better in person!! I had so many people, young and old, ask me where did you find that amazing band! To any of you out there trying to decide on a band that is easy to work with, plays incredibly well, and will get people dancing, this is the one!

The entire band is incredibly talented and they put some much heart into their performance. There aren't enough words to express just how much we loved them.

I just wanted to email you and let you know how much our school enjoyed Another Level's performance at our prom on Friday night. The junior class was hesitant about changing things up this year and getting a band rather than a DJ, but Another Level certainly changed our minds. They were so talented, personable, and engaging. They performed a wide variety of songs as to include everyone's interests. The band is all everyone has been talking about. They made our prom a huge success and the parents and teachers probably enjoyed them even more than the students. I am certain our school will use them again in the future.

surprised us with Blurred Lines. The band continued to play the best of

Subject: review for Another Level on your website
Kevin and the Another Level band were absolutely fantastic for our daughter's wedding reception. They were ready to go, looking sharp and playing great music as our 219 guests arrived. As this was predinner music, they were instantly accommodating to the meal and pulled back the sound a little bit before dinner. The band learned a new song to start the night for my daughter and her husband's first dance. After an iPod number for the groom to dance with his mom, they launched into Old Time Rock and Roll for me to dance with the bride. From that point forward, the dance floor was packed for the next 2.5 hours, except for a short break during the cake cutting and bouquet toss.
Highlights: getting the young kids up in front with the band and leading waves to the music, my son (a drummer) sitting in for Play that Funky Music, White Boy to drum for his sister, great attitudes, high energy music, a couple of good slow songs, on time and ready to go, good sound, letting us use the PA for prayer and toasts, and working with my daughter and wife on the playlist and reception timeline. Even the Reception Manager of the Base Club commented how great a band they were to work with.
Bottom line if you want a top notch band that does the best of Motown, classic rock, and R&B that will get the crowd out of their seats and moving to the music, they were the best! I have nothing but the highest praise for their musical talent, energy, positive attitude, and their willingness to make it a legendary night for the new couple, my family, my friends, and my guests.

Dear Mike,
Everything went off perfectly. Kevin and I touched base once or twice last week and they were completely set up as the guest arrived. Their music skills of Another Level both instrumental and vocal were amazing and so appreciated by everyone thereeven the nondancers! Not only this, they were super professional and fun to converse with as well. They were also very accommodating with our dinner taking a bit longer to complete than we anticipated. Thanks so much for all your help as well as that of your staff. I will check in with you if we can figure out some event later this year as well. Thanks ever so much and Happy New Year!

We absolutely loved Another Level. They greatly exceed our expectations and were responsible for making the reception lively and fun throughout the evening. They were also really easy to work with and very accommodating. Most of the wedding receptions I've been to have been pretty boring and unmemorable; however, thanks to Another Level the dance floor was packed until midnight.
Thank you again for your help in recommending them! They were fantastic! Best wishes to you all for a wonderful start to the new year!

Andy,
The Another Level band promised to bring the party and they did. The sound, energy and attitude were widely complimented. They were respectful of the wedding reception theme, flexible to guest antics and deft in song selection as the night evolved. As a musician myself, I was impressed with their musicality. As a veteran varsity partier I was thoroughly entertained. As another satisfied customer, I've endorsed talent and
value to several interested guests. And as father of the bride, I am most thankful.

After the event, I had several guests ask how we found them and that they hope to hear them again soon. Without a doubt, the band was one of the best decisions of the entire wedding. Kevin and the band were incredible, and I hope you share this with them.

They did a great job of ramping the energy and volume up as the night went on which led to an amazing dance party. They made a strong connection with some of our guests by letting them play the tambourine and sing during certain times of the evening. Carrie and I especially enjoyed the time when they got us on stage to lead the reception in a dance. Overall, they were a great band, who put on a phenomenal performance for our wedding reception.

We were especially excited because when he had spoken with Kevin before the wedding, he told us that they did not know The way you make me feel by Michael Jackson (our first song) but when it was time for us to do our dance, they surprised us and played it.
The band knew a ton of songs and it was a great mix of current and older music. I know at least one person took their card and was already planning on when they could book them.

I speak for myself, Jamie and our friends and family who attended the wedding. Another Level was AWESOME! Their sets were well planned once they felt the temperature of the crowd and they didnt let us down. They were receptive to our request for ipod during breaks and they took breaks at great times. They loved the fact that I didnt micromanage and I think that made them let loose and be themselves more. They got the crowd involved, played the right songs and sounded great.This is a WORLD CLASS BAND! I was approached by many guests about the band and their availability so I can see you guys getting calls for sure.
Thanks you and let me know if you have any other questions.

Seriously, Another Level was one of the best groups I have ever had on the Rehoboth beach bandstand! They were completely humble, appreciative, and brought more to the table than I had expected. The guitarist was astonishing! I haven't seen quality like that in quite some time.
I have started a new thing this year by booking early for groups that I know that I want, and I definitely want them. I believe that they would be an awesome group to start the season off, around midJune. Let's set something up!

Though this is rather random, I just heard a song on the radio that flashed me back to our wedding reception and reminded me of our great experience with Another Level (and that I never provided feedback during the crazy time after our wedding!). So, I just felt compelled to drop you a very belated, quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed Another Level. Their performance was simply fantastic and they had our guests out on the dance floor all night long. We were especially pleased with what a great job they did with our first dance song and songs for our parent dances. We also appreciated their flexibility in coming up with a solution to feed music into the room where our dinner took place, as it was a different room from where the band set up.
Again, I know this is long overdue, but I didn't want to completely miss the opportunity to share some praises.
I've been searching through my records for Kevin's mailing address to send him a similar handwritten note, but haven't come across it yet. Might you have it on hand?

Thanks for your email and congratulatory message! Everything from the wedding to the reception was spectacular. Jamie and I both feel that it was an absolutely perfect day and we wouldn't have changed a thing. The BAND.... was even more amazing than when I had seen them at the Durham, NC wedding. Their female singer is fantastic and has such a vibrant personality. And Kevin, as expected, was wonderful. He is so much fun and so talented, both with his music and at reading a crowd. Even before the wedding I had a feeling that we could expect that from him which is why I didn't feel the need to request certain songs from the playlist. There really was never a dull moment. My family knows how to party and Kevin picked up on that pretty quickly! Getting Another Level for the wedding was probably one of the best decisions I made for our big day!
I have a feeling that Another Level will be requested for many parties from our crowd in the future. So many people came up to me and asked where we found them! We had a blast!

Our members are still talking about their Fourth of July performance, that was more than a year ago. Their friendliness and professionalism is second to none.

Andy,
I wanted to let you know that Another Level was absolutely amazing! We cannot thank you enough for setting this up for us. We had over 200 people at our wedding and everyone there said they were the best band they have ever heard! We have had 3 guests call for your number to have Another Level play at their wedding!! We wish you the best.
Thank you again for your help. We will send you pictures of the band as soon as we get them back from the photographer.

Andrew,
Thanks for following up. Another Level was a great choice as the reception band. Our party started with them knocking the first dance song out of the park, and continued almost nonstop after that. They kept a very high energy level all night and were a lot of fun, which was exactly what we were looking for.
Please feel free to contact me at any time in the future about either band and our experience.

Hey there Andy!
Thanks so much for your email. Oh my gosh Another Level was absolutely increeeeedible, one of the absolute best parts of the day!

I highly recommend them to any and everyone!
And a big thanks to you for making it happen, Tim and I sincerely appreciate it and will definitely pass on the high regards for Sam Hill. Take care Andy, will speak soon!

Another Level was absolutely amazing. Perfect! Everyone loved them and they were voted best band out of all the parties. Not only were they awesome performers and had a great setlist, but they were so personable and made the entire party dance. I have already told them that they will be playing for my wedding and I don't even have a boyfriend. People are still calling asking for their name and how to get in touch with them. Thank YOU for being so helpful and easy to work with. I'll be keeping in touch with you for further help!
Thank you!

Andy,
Thank you for checking back on us. I do have to say that in all of my years of wedding planning Another Level has far surpassed the bands that I have worked with. They were incredible! I will continue to recommend them for any occassion that comes around that inquires about services. They kept the guests entertained and excited. Thank you so very much and I look forward to working with you all on many occassions to come.

Candace,
Everything went very well. We thought Another Level did a great job and we received compliments about them from our guests all night and afterwards. We were very pleased with their sound and ability to keep people dancing.
I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to others looking for a great dance band.
Thanks again,
Rick

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for touching base.
Another Level was wonderful. Their online playlist only represents about 1/4 of the material that they're familiar with. My guests and I built a playlist of items we would like to hear at the reception and they were more than capable. A friend built a 'break' playlist on his ipod and Kevin Pryor simply plugged it in when they needed a break and their sound system worked seamlessly. The genre was exactly what my reception guests were looking for. The band had dancers of all ages up on the floor. Another Level was extremely accommodating with space restrictions, noise levels, guests who were musicians and wanted to play a few sets with the band, etc. I would gladly book the band again, and recommend them to all of my friends.
Sam Hill Entertainment has also been extremely helpful. The followup and reminders worked great during the crazy wedding planning. The selection process on the website is very easy to navigate, the binder of bands sent to my house with the cd sampler, potential bands and their playlists helped us finalize our decision to select Another Level. I will also recommend Sam Hill Entertainment to all my friends.
Thanks again, it was my pleasure.

They were incredible!!! Everything was amazing. Not only
were they an incredible band but they couldn't have been nicer.
A couple of guys in our fraternity play instruments and they
even called them up and had them sit in with them. Thanks
again for everything.

Hi Andy,
All I can say about the Another Level band is that they were AWESOME!! Everyone
raved about the band and how much energy they had. The lead singer was
one of the best voices I have heard. We will certainly forward their
name to anyone who asks us about a band. We have cards that we got
from them at the wedding and will give them out to anyone who inquires.
Please tell them that everyone loved them and thank them for making
our reception a special event.
Take Care,
Meridith and Randy

Another Level was fantastic. Not only were they very professional, but the audience loved them! They are all the most talented of musicians and boy can those ladies SING! I had several audiences members comment on how much they enjoyed them and request to have them back in the future. Thank you for sending them my way.
