About Add-on Services
Sam Hill's all-inclusive pricing covers band travel and lodging, a PA system (for up to 300 guests), lights, MC services, recorded music during breaks, learning a special request or first dance song, and up to four hours of performance time (with breaks). For clients looking to further enhance their event, we also offer the following add-on services:
DJ Service
This option adds an extra musician to the band who provides professional DJ mixing and hosting during the band’s break times, with the option of adding a dedicated after-party set. All bands can play recorded music at no additional cost, so DJ Service is recommended only if a live DJ experience is preferred.
Additional Sound System
In addition to the band’s main PA system, an additional sound system can be placed in a separate location—such as a cocktail or dinner area. It includes a speaker, a wireless microphone, a professional sound technician, and the ability to play recorded music.
Ceremony Sound System
For weddings, a dedicated ceremony sound system is available for a separate ceremony location at the same venue. This setup typically includes one or more speakers, a wireless clip-on lavalier microphone, an additional microphone with a stand, a professional sound technician, and the ability to play recorded music.
Continuous Music
Our all-inclusive pricing covers up to four hours of performance time including breaks. This continuous music option modifies that arrangement and guarantees three consecutive hours of live music with no breaks.
Second Line Parade
Add a touch of New Orleans flair to your celebration with a high-energy second line parade, lasting up to 15 minutes. Must have horns as part of the band’s core lineup or add-on horns to capture the traditional sound and spirit of this iconic procession.
Live Cocktail Hour Music
This option provides a dedicated solo performer or ensemble for the cocktail hour, creating a welcoming atmosphere with live music.
Live Ceremony Music
This service offers a solo performer or small ensemble to accompany the processional, recessional, and other key moments—adding an elegant, customized element to the ceremony.
About the Band
The New Royals
When it comes to bringing the party to the people, The New Royals reign supreme.
From the most popular modern hits, 90s and early 2000s R&B smashes, to timeless party anthems from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, TNR brings a repertoire that includes the best contemporary crowd-pleasers and iconic classics.
Rihanna. Bruno. Adele. Prince. Beyonce. Stevie. Drake. Every party with The New Royals is a playlist of single-name superstars designed to rule the dance floor and put your guests in that I-can’t-stop-smiling state of mind and body.
The genuine vibe the band creates with guests at every event is a reflection of the authentic chemistry among the vocalists and band members. These performers make true connections with audiences — and with each other — that are palpable on stage. The New Royals deliver spontaneous, heart-pounding, captivating energy that connects with crowds of all ages and personalities. These magnetic entertainers possess a natural sense of style that pairs with their soulful vocals to elevate every performance into an incredible live experience.
Showcasing diversity is an authentic part of the band’s musical and cultural DNA— this resonates with an atmosphere of inclusiveness onstage and with any guest on the dance floor. Their “love rules” energy evokes a feeling of joy and unity that washes over an audience and contributes to an evening of pure positivity.
The New Royals blend a classic approach with a distinctly modern personality, putting a unique twist on the original, while maintaining the integrity of your favorite songs. TNR performs mashup songs like a DJ, invigorating the hottest music and keeping the party moving while rarely skipping a beat. A night with TNR is really like a contemporary concert experience brought right to your special event: intros, hits, style, fashion, seamless transitions, and best of all…an unforgettable connection.

FAQs
Find answers to your questions about our bands and booking process right here.
We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.
Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.
All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.
Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.
Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
