Andrew,
We had such a perfect wedding weekend and 10 Spot was absolutely amazing! I have no complaints at all! They kept the guests dancing until the end of the night and were so energizing and fun! We could not have asked for a better band! I
Please share our feedback with the band as well! Thank you!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks so much for reaching out! 10 Spot was AWESOME. The song selection was great, they did a fantastic job with our first dance song (not from their set list), and everyone raved about how awesome they were! We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding day.
Thanks again!

Good morning, Andrew  
We were super pleased with 10Spot! They connected with the crowd immediately and kept the dance floor packed all night! Many of our guests asked where we got our great band.  I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them (and Sam Hill!) to others. We enjoyed meeting them after the wedding that’s a lot of talent in one family!! Really a great experience!
Thank you!

absolutely fantastic.  Thank you.  You guys were awesome.  The band easily beat my expectations and the compliments were all over from my friends.  The dance floor was packed that's how you know the crowd likes the band and is boozing!  
You guys absolutely killed it.  The band read the crowd, they knew to keep it fast and lively with a younger (20s) wedding crowd / a bunch of my fraternity brothers there.  They were just awesome!
We already got you guys more business :) One of Krista's bridesmaids booked/is booking 10 Spot for her wedding next year.  I think she might have already done it!
Great job!

Hi Mike,
The wedding was beautiful, thank you! We were all overwhelmed by the band! They were absolutely fantastic. The dance floor was packed for 3 hours with dancing to all our favorite songs. The band played a variety of excellent oldies and soft music during the dinner hour and then went strong afterwards in that I don't think anyone left the dance floor. They made the evening so much fun. The band was professional, kind and considerate to all request and even played one last song after the time they were to finish at the request of the crowd!! 
Prior to the wedding Gray contacted me to go over the details of the evening which I thought was so nice.
I wish I had had the opportunity to meet each band member individually but I was able to say Thank you at the end of the evening. If you would extend an additional 'Thank you' for me and express our gratitude for making my daughter's wedding such a great success!
I will forward your email to Keri and David to add any additional comments they may have.
I will also leave my comments on how awesome it was to work with Sam Hill on The Knot!! You made it very easy, affordable and a great success!
Thank you again,

5star review posted on The Knot on 8/27/19:
We had 10 Spot for our wedding and they were great! So kind. All of our guests commented on how much fun they had dancing, and the band's range of different genres was really incredible. They also learned 2 new songs for us (one for our first dance and one for the fatherdaughter dance) and the lead vocalist especially slayed our first dance. Finally, they sang Happy Birthday to my cousin who was turning 6 on the same day as our wedding, which was very nice of them!

David, my family, our guests and I couldn’t have better things to say about 10 Spot. They brought the house down on Saturday! They were super easy to work with, learned a couple songs for us and even let my husband play the drums for a song. Loved them! Their easy going attitudes and fun loving on stage presence was contagious. The dance floor was never quiet. We had guests asking for their contact info for future events.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for the kind email and best wishes!
I will certainly give you some feedback on our entire experience. From working with you through Sam Hill during the hiring and booking process to working with the Band personally, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about you all. You were so helpful in answering my millions of questions at the start of things and did a great job guiding me to the right band for our tastes. Everything from the booking process and final wrap up was supremely easy and simple to follow what my responsibilities were. Thank you for taking what could be a major headache to figure out and making it uncomplicated. I could rest easy knowing all the details were taken care of.
Gray and the entire 10 Spot Band were PHENOMENAL! Professional, kind, and courteous, every one of the band members stopped to say a personal congratulations and thank you for having us to myself, my husband (weird!) and my parents. They were EXACTLY what we wanted and absolutely made our wedding reception one to remember. The music was ON POINT and they were so fun, interacted with our crowd, and truly made the night. Gray was very easy to get a hold of, listened to my requests, and confirmed any details with me that made me feel 100% confident and unworried about what they were handling.
You definitely have my recommendation and will hopefully have another party to plan sometime in the future that we'll need to book a band again. Thank you so much!!!

The music playing during dinner was spot on…with just the right tempo and volume. When I saw people getting up during dinner to dance, I knew we had the right band, because I knew what was coming during the next set
UPTOWN FUNK and the flash mob from the servers and staff was a huge hit! Then the party really began. The dance floor was full the entire night.

We were thrilled with the band! The entire experience with your agency and the band was stress free. The booking process was efficient and communication was excellent. Gray was cooperative and we worked well together. I appreciated your allowing me to hire the extra sax player locally which pleased my wife. We stressed that we had a dancing crowd and they had a packed dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG! Seriously. They were great.
Having led a band of my own for so many years, I particularly appreciated Gray's handling of the timing. As usual, dinner ran long so by the time the band started the main dance set, it wasn't long before cake cutting. To their credit, instead of taking an untimely break that would have killed the momentum, the band stayed on stage for the cutting then continued without a break until the end. I had that same mindset when I played forget what the contract entitles, you do what serves the party best. Kudos to him and the band!
We had numerous compliments on the band and I thank you for everything!

We don't have a single negative thing to say about 10 Spot or Sam Hill.
The band was very easy to work with (Gray Finnegan was our main contact) before the wedding. They accommodated us and our venue very easily. In addition, the set list that they played was perfect. There was rarely a moment when the dance floor wasn't jammed with people.
This may count as the second time dealing with Sam Hill... My brother Alex Corini booked another one of your bands for his wedding this past April. All of us could not be more pleased.
Thank you so much for following up and doing great work.

They are incredible singers and musicians and I was wowed by their ability to choose the best songs for each part of the evening with no input from myself. Even during their breaks, they played recorded songs that were perfect for keeping the party going. Our wedding seriously would not have been as fun without them! I would recommend them a million times over for any wedding or other event.
In addition, Gray was a pleasure to work and communicate with. He was flexible, amendable, and incorporated several changes to our order of events in the days leading up to the wedding. He was an amazing announcer throughout the evening and made the process so easy for us! We had a very narrow time frame between the ceremony and reception, and 10 Spot was able to make it work.
I have already passed along Sam Hill Entertainment to my engaged friends and will continue to do so! Big thanks to you and your team for helping us nab a dream band for our special day!

Hello Mike.
10 Spot was the best musical group we have ever enjoyed. Thanks so much for guiding us to them.
All went perfect and they even performed 10 extra pieces. Some of their greatest effort occurred during dinner which was only enjoyed by the tables nearby so we would reshuffle this with their next visit. All of their team were excellent singers and musicians and the woman performer was so energetic with excellent choreography as well as a great voice.
Thanks again Mike and I am thinking we should move forward earlier this year once we pick our date.

Best always,

Thanks for the congrats, the wedding was amazing, and 10 Spot was a huge part of that.
We'd seen them at a wedding before, so we knew they were great performers, but they were also great to deal with leading up to the wedding. I spoke with Gray on multiple occasions to coordinate my friends playing our first dance song, and other technical things like recording the audio of our speeches directly from their mixing board. Everything went perfectly!
We'll be giving them, and Sam Hill, rave reviews on The Knot and other places.

Andrew,
To put it lightly, I could not have asked for a better band to play at my wedding. I can echo my mother's words in her email that the band members were not only engaging and kept us on our feet (literally), but also VERY friendly. I found it rather interesting and very cool that the male lead singer played with my best friend's dad back in the 80s and he even confirmed it with a photo he had on his phone of the two of them looking rather...groovy.
The music selection appealed to all ages, they played music during their breaks, and they were very entertaining. I feel like a terrible bride because I don't think I left the dance floor for more than 5 minutes and because of that, I missed the opportunity to greet several of our guests and thank people for coming. For that, I blame the band. ;)
If I ever have the opportunity to hire a band again (let's hope it isn't for another wedding), I will certainly look to 10 Spot. I just had the BEST time and I know that everyone else did as well. We received several compliments about all aspects of the wedding, but especially the good time that was had thanks to the band.
Please let them know what an amazing time we had and please also thank them for allowing Peter Pope to play a song with them because it really meant a lot to my husband and I.
Thank you so much!

I can’t tell you what a great time we all had and how much everyone loved 10 Spot. Some people stayed out on the dance floor the entire evening. The music selection was varied and appealed to a broad audience. The band members were all so friendly and very engaging with the guests. I can’t say enough about the singing, playing, and the entire tone of the evening.
I also appreciate the fact that they were willing to arrive extra early to set up and have their sound check completed prior to the start of the ceremony music. They were good sports about riding a shuttle bus 6 miles down the beach to and from the house. I only wish I had booked them to play longer because we hated to see them pack up and leave!!!
As it turns out, the father of one of Kate’s best friends was in attendance and was a past band mate of one of the band members. He actually even had a picture on his cell phone from the 80’s, that showed the 2 of them together…LOL The band allowed him to come up and play a song with them for Kate. It was a magical moment for Kate and all her friends.
Can’t say enough about this group and hope we have an opportunity to book their services again.
I would highly recommend this band!!!!
Thanks so much!!!!

Hey Andrew,
Thank you very much! We had an amazing wedding it was perfect and an absolute blast! The band was phenomenal! They were very professional and so much fun! The music was amazing our guests enjoyed them so much! They chose great songs for our guests and the dance floor was full the entire night. I think it is safe to say that choosing 10 Spot was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. They were easy to work with and exceeded all of our exceptions.
We will be sure to spread the word! Thanks again!

The night just wouldn't have been the same without them. They really kept the party going and fed off the crowd. They barely took their breaks cause it seemed like they were having such a good time up there. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who asks.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for sending your congrats! We had an incredible time. So many people commented on how perfect 10 Spot was. Great set list, great energy, and lively stage presence. The flow of the evening was excellent. AND, in my opinion, they sounded much better in person than they did in any of the online videos!
Quick story: One of my super drunk college friends ended up on stage dancing with the band and they handled everything in stridethey were true professionals (even in the presence of adults acting like children).
Another quick story: we really wanted to get my cousin Marina (an aspiring musician with an awesome voice) involved somehow, so we had her sing with the band for our first dance. They were very accommodating, helped her think through all the details and nuances of this style of performance (versus coffeeshop acoustics) and made time for Marina to practice with them beforehand. They made sure she felt comfortable and it went perfectly.
I know at least a few people grabbed their business cards on the way out. You guys at Sam Hill have been great to work with and made everything super easy. We will certainly be referring you to friends and family!
Thanks again and all the best,
David

Admittedly, this was my first time going through this process. Loved the website. Truly helped to get a good feel for what Sam Hill had to offer. The band was fantastic reaching out to me before the event and were fantastic at the event itself. Great music set.
Attendants of our event agreed.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Sam Hill, and especially 10 Spot. They were so much fun, their music was perfectly coordinated with the flow of the evening, and our guests have been raving about them since Saturday evening. The one thing my {now husband} and I really wanted was a crowded dance floor, and that mission was accomplished :)
You may also be happy to know that I believe a couple of guests who are planning events in the future approached the band to ask for their business card, etc.
Gray was very easy to correspond with leading into our event, and when we needed to update information or make any changes, he was quick with his response time and ensured everything was covered.
Thank you again.... we are really looking forward to seeing the photos from the evening of our guests enjoying the bands' music!

The music was energetic, electrifying, and flowed perfectly over the evening. The lead guitar player was outstanding as were the vocals. The horns and the female vocalist were an awesome addition. Most impressive was the Band's feel for the audience and non stop foot stomping great music with a wide variety of songs.

From my perspective and the perspective of every guest who came up specifically to tell me, the music was perfect.
10 Spot was spot on !!!! I had so many people come up to me and compliment us on the band. I have been to weddings where the band made it about them, not the dance party. We don’t enjoy that. 10 Spot was able to judge the crowd, build the tempo, play great oldies as well as new stuff and the dance floor was always full. I just wished we'd had a bigger dance floor.
My best friend from NYC, who just had us up for his daughter’s wedding in Sept. and who is a big music fan, was totally taken aback by how great the band was and kept complimenting me on our hiring them. I told them personally before they left and will tell you that I would recommend 10 Spot for any wedding or special occasion. Ann even said she regretted not having another event for which we could hire them in the future.
Thanks for getting us such fine music for our event. You did very well.

They were down to earth and easy to talk to; we were touched at their expression of appreciation in having the opportunity to perform at our daughter and soninlaw's wedding reception.
Our daughter communicated by email with Gray and that worked well as he responded quickly and was eager to meet her preferences. They played a variety of songs that kept the party going!
We would highly recommend them! We appreciate your services at Sam Hill Entertainment!

Andy,

10 Spot really hit it out of the park during the reception. They had everyone from the 20somethings to a couple of 80+ year olds tearing up the dance floor. Their choice of music, from the “dinner tunes” to when they really got cranked up was outstanding. The dance floor was always packed and at the end the crowd was chanting “10 more songs!” They were truly exceptional in everyway.

After things wound down, John from the band spoke with both Charlie and me and told us both how much they enjoyed playing the event. John said the band enjoyed themselves so much it was the kind of gig they would have played for free. He also took the time to tell me that he thought Charlie was a great young man and true gentleman which he certainly didn’t have to do.

I would strongly recommend 10 Spot for any event and would gladly provide them a recommendation.

Gray,
Not knowing anything about a wedding or where to start, my bride and I chose to book 10 Spot. Music is a hobby of mine and has been from boyhood so I was certainly a critical client. We had a few logistic issues at my wedding, it was held at a private residence and it was outdoors, new construction to boot. I let Gray know and he was more than willing to listen and even suggest solutions. Gray had answers to questions I didn't even know I had. I even gave Gray and his crew the father daughter dance song just hours before the wedding and he made it happen. Thanks! Gray and his guys performed like true musicians and I say this having logged hundreds of live shows in my time. We had a slight problem with a breaker at the house but Gray and his crew were so strong, during ‘Don't Stop Believin’ by Journey the power cut, the crowd was singing the chorus on the dance floor and when the power came back on the band picked up right in sync with the crowd’s chorus, like I said, true musicians and very impressive. Also, the lead guitar player didn't miss a note during ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ which says a lot. Thank you Gray and 10 Spot for making our wedding better than we expected.
Thanks for everything!!

During the entire wedding reception, I felt at ease because I knew I was in great hands with Gray and the entire 10 Spot Band. Their song selection range is vast and they performed each song top notch! They are TALENTED! And they were so accommodating with all our requests and remained gracious. They also learned and nailed our First Dance song to a T! I can't tell you how many guests are still complimenting them for a sensational celebration. And, to end the night with ACDC and have EVERYONE dancing?! Perfect!
All in all, I'd highly recommend 10 Spot for any occasion. They are excellent!

10 Spot was great and even learned a song to surprise the bride at the end of the evening. Gray was great with communication and following my instructions and timeline and they were beyond cooperative with equipment setup. The family loved them and one of the guests (I learned this yesterday when talking to the bride’s mother) said there were moments when she turned to see if the band was actually playing she thought she was hearing a cd or recording of the song instead of the band they were so good. And the song they learned sounded better than the artist that recorded it, in my opinion. They were a pleasure.
Bravo to 10 SPOT!

It takes a lot to impress me in this business and they did it. I can't say enough about them they were that GREAT.

Speaking for both myself and Corinne, we could not have had a better experience working with both Sam Hill and 10 Spot. You guys were flexible and worked with us early on when we had some technical issues and just made everything easy. Thank you.
10 Spot was great. They were also easy to work with. More so, though, they were just really good. Everyone I have spoken with—younger and older has immediately mentioned how good the band was and what a good time they had as a result. I really think it was a huge part of our wedding being a success. They also learned two songs for us—both our first dance song and one for my dance with my Mother. We were 100% expecting the first dance song to be played on a CD, but when we heard them rehearsing it, it was really cool. Plus they sounded great.
It was a really, really good experience all around. I would not hesitate to recommend both Sam Hill and 10 Spot to anyone I know looking for a live band.

The band was incredible!!!! They got people to dance (ie my Grandma who doesn't leave the couch) that haven't in years and I think at least half of the guests came up to me to rave about them. The only letdown from our guests was that they weren't coming to our after party which was a rumor someone started, ha! Their music selection was a perfect blend of oldies and modern and their finale with Shout was the icing on the cake. I will be sure to give their info to all of my engaged friends so I can hopefully hear them again in the near future!

I'm Sarah Whitaker's mom, and I am not sure if anyone got back to you after her wedding last year we were 10 new kinds of tired afterward. Anyway, we LOVED the 10spot Band and so did our guests. People are still talking about what a swinging reception it was, and how excellent the band sounded.
If I ever have a chance to recommend them, I sure will do that. I hope they
had a good time playing for us people just loved dancing to their tunes!
Thanks again,
Donnah Whitaker

Andrew,

It was a great event and 10 Spot was fabulous as always. I wouldn't expect anything less, they always put on an A+ performance. It was interesting seeing them all in suits since on the beach we are use to seeing them in informal attire. They totally made the event and we are so thankful that they could do this for our charity.

Hey Frank!
Sorry it has taken me so long to return the email! We have been in Argentina and Chile for our honeymoon!
The band was GREAT! I was very busy w/guest etc but I do know I danced to several songs and the floor was flooded w/people most of the evening after we got started. I had several people ask where the band was from etc. Of course I gave them the Sam Hill entertainment info! Nothing but compliments about 10 Spot after the party...even days after I received text and emails asking about the band. So.....there you have it!
Hope you are doing well and I'm sure your band is busy w/the upcoming holiday events etc. Stay in touch! Maybe someday Jerry and I can have the Dickens play @ another occasion??
Take care

Hi Mike,
The band was great. They hit all the right tunes and involved the audience well. They actually invited my band Flow in the Dark up to do a number and Gray ran the sound. My friend Stephen jumped in with them to sing the first dance and they were able to accommodate a time to run a quick rehearsal with him.
I would recommend them to anyone for their next wedding or ceremony.
Thanks for touching base!

Kristina and I just wanted to send you a quick note, and say THANK YOU for being AMAZING! We received tons of compliments about how excellent you guys were, and how fantastic 10 Spot was at providing the right music at the right time to match the crowd. I was thrilled with the variety of classic and new songs, and how you all were able to escalate the party vibe as the night progressed. I also appreciate your flexibility, attention to detail, and communication: we went into the night completely confident that you had a handle on what we were looking for, and it was a huge relief to not have to worry about those details. Finally, although I didn't get to spend time with everyone in the band, each member I met was extremely friendly, despite a full night of rocking out.

Once again, thanks so much for making the trip out to Stratford. You all played a huge role in making our reception memorable and fun.

Best Regards,

10 Spot was great, a very positive experience! They drove a long way to get here and I'm sure they were tired, but you wouldn't know from their performance, which was exceptional. Gray was very easy to work with and he made sure we were taken care of. I'm not much of a dancer but by the end of the night I was breaking it down with the rest of them, mainly because 10 Spot had such a great performance.
I was extremely satisfied and all the guests were raving about them. I would recommend them to friends and family, and I thought their rate was very reasonable.

And, for that matter, we have already been recommending Sam Hill too.

Hi Andy,
Sorry for the long delay in responding, but it's been a crazy busy few weeks since the wedding. 10 SPOT were absolutely incredible! We could not have been happier with the band. They are great musicians and total professionals. They had the dance floor jam packed from the start of the reception. Laura and I particularly like how the energy
levels built up over the course of the evening. They played a lot of songs early in the set that really encouraged some of our older guests out on the dance floor (but the songs were really fun ones, so everybody was up on their feet). The songs got faster/livelier/newer over the course of the evening and everyone just continued to dance the night away. It was awesome. Please pass along our sincere thanks and
appreciation to the guys!
A couple of highlights for me: My 76 yearold dad being twirled around the dance floor by this beautiful young French woman (wife of friend). My dad said he thought he might have a heart attack, but at least he'd die with a smile on his face! I also got to dance with Laura's 93 yearold grandmother, which was incredible because we thought she might not even be able to make the wedding due to age/declining health. But she was on that dance floor for a good while!
Thanks again for all your help in arranging the band. They were perfect for the occasion and all of our friends have given similar feedback about how great they were. If ever we are throwing a party with a band, we would definitely come back to Sam Hill and 10 SPOT would be at the top of the list. I do not know anyone getting married in the near future, but if and when I hear such plans, I'll definitely recommend they check you out.
Cheers,
Brian

I think the thing that was probably most surprising is the serious RANGE they had from a decades perspective, from the multitude of genres covered... these guys are so great.

10 Spot, Gray and the rest of the guys couldn't have been any better!
I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Gray was very accommodating and easy to work with through the whole planning process. I am very detail oriented and he was patient with all of my questions. He made me feel confident that everything would go as planned and that I would have nothing to do the day of.
When I arrived at Veritas, the band was set up and ready to go. They were all very friendly and professional. Most importantly, their music was amazing! There were people on the dance floor from the time they started playing until the end of the night. In fact, we saw guests that typically don't dance having the time of their lives dancing.
As a bride and groom, it is very rewarding to look around and see that all of your guests are simply having a great time. Besides the fun crowd, I would attribute a lot of this in our case to 10 Spot and their music.
We greatly appreciate all of your help in finding us a band that suited our personalities and we couldn't have been more pleased with 10 Spot. Thanks for your contribution to our special day it was truly amazing!

Hey Andrew,

I'm back in town and wanted to follow up to you. Here are a few of my thoughts!
Band was very responsive before hand Gray was the contact and he was very good, thorough, responsive, etc
Payment was easy
They were super nice and fun the day of
Did an EXCELLENT job with introductions. We chose a kind of different song to play during our introductions (Dallas Mavericks intro tune, because we live in Dallas and they won the NBA last year!) and they downloaded it on iTunes, and believe me I was SO excited when I heard it start for introductions. I believe Gray was the one that did all the names and he got them all correct. Anyway, they had an AMAZING presence with doing all the MCing and were so so so so much better than a DJ
I requested 2 songs and they played them both, live, and they were amazing!!! Party Rock by LMFAO (fairly new song so I'm impressed they knew it!) and Don't Stop Believing by Journey. These were two big highlights.
They did a great job, basically, they kept the dance floor packed and I felt like they played a lot of songs.
They were amazing. I almost chose Another Level because I had heard them play at a friends wedding, but I am SO glad I chose 10 spot. I can't say enough great things about them, so feel free to send anyone my name and email if they are debating using them.

I think everything went well with the venue coordinating with them Veritas staff loves having them play there, so it all worked out flawlessly, in my opinion!

Let me know if you have any other specific questions or if there is anywhere else I can go to rate/ recommend them!

Thanks!!!

Thanks so much for the congratulations. We had an amazing time at the wedding and reception the honeymoon was pretty awesome as well.

10 Spot was, in one word, perfect. No less than a dozen people came up to my wife and I after the wedding and told us how incredible the band was. Most important to us, they played straight through the last hour and a half of the wedding (which we requested), so Ashley and I were able to dance a ton. This meant a lot to us that they would stick to the schedule we had proposed. Other than that, their song choices were outstanding, and they interacted with everyone in a courteous and energetic way. We wouldn't have changed anything about their performance.

I will absolutely recommend Sam Hill and 10 Spot to all of my friends. I'm certain that many will be asking about the band at our wedding in the future, so I'll be sure to pass on the good word. Thanks again for all of your help and advice. Take care and hope you're doin' well.

And I'm not just saying that because they were our wedding band countless guests came up to us and/or our parents to tell us how awesome they were/best they had ever heard. People didn't leave the dance floor! I will certainly recommend 10 Spot to my friends for weddings/ parties/ etc!

Thanks again for all your help, Andrew!

Best,
Blair & Adam

10 Spot was a wonderful band there wasn't a single person who wasn't on the dance floor! They were professional, easy to work with and above all so very talented. I can't tell you how many guests came up to me letting me know how great the band was. The bride and groom were both crying with joy with me at the end of the evening with how pleased they were with how the event was run. I couldn't have asked for more than that!
I hope the band enjoyed working with me and I would appreciate you letting people know about my services as well. Please let me know if you need anything else.

We had the pleasure of using 10 Spot on October 30, 2010 at my daughter's wedding in Raleigh. They were terrific. The room rocked the whole evening, and the dancing was nonstop!
We sure made the right choice when we booked 10 SPOT. The whole process was easy. They were a pleasure to work with and did an outstanding, professional job at the wedding. At the end of the evening, I thanked each band member for their hard work and enthusiasm.
Your organization was also a pleasure to work with. Nice people, quick responses and well organized. If you ever need a recommendation, I'll be happy to give one.

Thanks for the email! The band, by far, was the best decision of the entire wedding. They were amazing and so easy to work with, they even learned two songs for us, which was incredible. I had almost everyone comment how great they were and I passed along Sam Hill's info. to everyone who inquired where to find them. The next party I need to plan I will be definitely be inquiring about them again also. By far above anyone's expectations.

Andy, thanks for your email. I've been meaning to send you all an email about this! 10 Spot was fantastic! I honestly cannot say enough great things about the band! We gave them last minute special request songs that they performed excellently. Also, they worked with our time schedule to maximize play time. Everyone in the band was extremely professional.
We had a smaller wedding approx 98 people including us and our bridal party. Our concern going in was that people would be too reserved to dance and our wedding would be boring. 10 Spot made our wedding a huge success. There were a few times especially towards the end of the night that I looked out and not a single person was sitting down everyone was on the dance floor. My inlaws were breaking it down with my parents to OutKast! Even our wedding coordinator at the venue was impressed! They did a phenomenal job of gauging the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time.
Everyone has had only the greatest things to say about the band. I can honestly say that 10 Spot made our wedding reception a success. It was a pleasure to work with them especially Gray, who really went out of his way to make sure that we were happy before the reception in terms of the timing, etc. and during the reception.
I will highly recommend 10 Spot to friends and family. My parents even plan to see them occasionally, as they live in Virginia Beach. Thanks again,

Booking 10 Spot through you and your agency was hands down one of THE BEST things we did for our daughter's wedding!
10 Spot was phenomenal! They made the difference between a normal reception and one that all of our guests are still talking about! The dance floor was FULL the entire night! Even the recorded music that they played on their short breaks was so good people kept on dancing! It was like having a band and a DJ! The music never stopped.
Gray Finnegan was so nice to work with, answering all questions and emails promptly.
He also did a fabulous job as an MC, announcing the wedding party and all other items throughout the night.
You know a band has done a great job when at the end of the evening and last song the guests start chanting, One more song, one more song! Much to everyone's delight they did play one more song!
Thank you Andy for all of your help in choosing 10 Spot! They were perfect. We will definitely spread the word about 10 Spot and Sam Hill.
Best regards,

He was very accomodating and made me feel so comfortable. Everyone loved the band. All of my guests were dancing and have complemented 10 Spot. They even had a sweet moment with my 3 year old nephew (who is obsessed with guitars). One of the musicials let him hold his real guitar and that just made my nephew's week! Thanks so much!

Just wanted to let you know that Gray and 10 Spot did an amazing job for us on Saturday. Gray’s attention to detail in the weeks before the wedding was very much appreciated as we finalized all of the important details for Megan and Thad.
The entire crowd had a great time, young and the not so young alike! Gray was great at MCing and taking charge of the schedule as well. His announcements and verbiage throughout the night were thoughtful, not too wordy or cheesy and fun for all.
Thank you for the great suggestion and I look forward to working with them and you again in the near future.

10 Spot: Thanks guys for being a part of the best wedding our family has had over the past 40 years. This includes family and friends weddings dating back to 1970 back in New York. Our family has gotten many compliments not only on the House Mountain Lodge but also the 10 Spot band. The dance music was great and your group entertaining. It may have also had something to do with my cow bell and whistle percussion assistance (only kidding). Thank you again.

The wedding went off without a hitch and the band was great. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the songs they played, their interaction with the crowd, the instrumental abilities of the guitarist and bassist, etc. I had a few of my most musically savvy (and musically picky/snobby) friends tell me how good the guitarist was and that they found themselves just watching him play. We definitely had a good crowd at the front of the dance floor the entire night and it was in large part thanks to the band. Erin and I actually were forced to leave during the end of the night by the wedding coordinator so they could prepare for our exit because we didn't want to leave the dance floor. I think they had just gotten done playing Billy Jean and were starting Sweet Child of Mine. Erin's parents also received numerous compliments on the band. We were very pleased with the selection and really appreciate your recommendation.

Sorry for the delay in my response. 10 Spot were a group of very nice
guys. They set up quickly and were polite and professional. I like that
they could sing all the formal dance songs (first dance, father daughter
dance, ect). I've seen bands in the past that cannot do that. The music
was a great volume for Clifton (considering we have to respect the noise
ordinance in the area) and everyone had a great time. I will definitely
recommend them to future brides!

Mike,
To say things went a little different than planned on our wedding day would be a bit of an understatement. By the official start time on the big day we had over two feet of snow, the most in half a century before Christmas in Roanoke. About half of the guests had cancelled, the ceremony had to been moved to the hotel at a later time, and the rehearsal had been canned. At some point, the hotel began urging us to arrange for their inhouse DJ to take over the music duties because there was “no way” the band could make it. It’s a good thing we didn’t listen.
We picked the 10 spot because we knew what we were getting. Several friends had seen them perform at an earlier wedding and they came highly recommended. What we didn’t expect however was the tremendous dedication they showed in making it to Roanoke from Va Beach (~300 mi) in the worst snow storm anyone can remember.
Our party was extra special. We had the right mix of people there, all dedicated, excited about being snowed in together, and ready to party after a day of making last minute adjustments. Gray and the gang hit the ground right on time (amazingly) to an already filled dance floor (waiting with anticipation) and didn’t let up for three hours. In the end we were all drenched with sweat, ears ringing, and still wanting more. Maybe it was the craziness of the day but several guests have gone so far as to say that it was the best reception that they have ever been to.
Any band that travels through that mess (for who knows how many hours total) to deliver such a quality show gets the highest recommendation we can give.... to anyone.

Everyone was so excited seeing Davy playing with the band. We paid them more to stay and play little longer. We couldn’t ask for better band and better day. The songs were just perfect (since I picked most of them). They announced everything just like agreed and hope that they enjoyed the wedding as much as us and everybody.

Hi Andy,
10 Spot was great. Everyone had a great time and the mother of the groom ended up paying for an extra half hour because people wouldn't stop dancing! The band was very accommodating. The groom is an amateur drummer and when one of the groomsmen told the band leader he brought him on stage to play a song. Everyone loved it and it was very nice of them to personalize it like that. They played the perfect songs for the age group of attendees as well (mostly late twenties) especially towards the end of the night. Earlier when the older crowd was still there, they made sure to play songs that would appeal more to them so it really was a great fit.
Thanks so much, I'll definitely keep you guys in mind for future events as I've always been pleased with your bands.

Andy,
We couldn't be more pleased with the music at our daughter's wedding and reception. Thanks for making the suggestions and for making the music such a memorable part of the celebration.
10 Spot: Talented, friendly, easy to work withthey were the perfect reception dance band. People remarked all night about the music, and the dance floor was packed. (I wouldn't be surprised if they get a few bookings out of this engagement.) The bride and groom and all our guests LOVED the band's performance.
So, again, our thanks for helping us celebrate. The weekend was wonderfuland a big part of that was the music.
Jody

Hello Andy,
I am the mother of the bride and wanted to tell you how great the 10 Spot Band was at the wedding. I have heard nothing but rave reviews for their performance and for the warm personality and professional attitude the band has.. Everybody, and I mean everybody, was dancing the night away to their many selections. Some of the words to describe them have been great, fantastic, wonderful, terrific, so much fun. They were truly a hit!
We were extremely pleased with the 10 Spot Band and would highly recommend them for any occasion.
Thank you.
Carole Riley

Hi Andy,
10 Spot was incredible! Again, they were very easy to work with and were set up by the time the guests arrived at 7PM from the ceremony. They started playing around 9:15 or 9:30 and played until almost 1:00AM. We were going to end the event at midnight, but decided to extend it the day of the event to 1:00AM. They were very accomodating to this change. They played a lot of songs that our parents and the older guests enjoyed during the first set and then played a lot more current songs during the second set. We got loads of compliments from everyone about the band!
We will definitely pass along your information to our friends looking for wedding entertainment.
Thanks again for everything!
Jamie

Andy,
Lots of people have said our reception was the best they've attended, and I think 10 Spot deserves a lot of the credit. They played music that appealed to all ages and really knew how to get the crowd involved. We will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a band and hope to be able to hear them again sometime ourselves.
Thanks so much for following upwe loved 10 Spot!
