From: Lisa Deaton Subject: Thank you for wedding in Mathews Co Date: May 11, 2018 at 12:49:27 PM EDT To: arthurch1@verizon.net Charles, I wanted to thank you and your bandmates for a wonderful and very fun wedding experience here in Bohannon on April 14. You guys were awesome, and I was too busy running around to show my true appreciation. I am sorry the bugs hatched out near the porch and hounded you guys during the reception. I have finally found the bug spray that ended up in the attic during the wedding clean up. I will re-stock on citronella candles soon! Our guests really enjoyed being able to make song requests, and the neighbors on the river all enjoyed having a night of listening to "Pro's" playing. The ceremony music was super-sweet, too. Thanks for learning new songs for the lead dances, and I am glad the mother of the bride doesn't have to dance in front of everyone! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Lisa and Stuart Deaton, parents of the bride

They really knew how to play to the crowd - and the covers were a huge hit. They were also incredibly professional and accommodating, despite it being a rainy November day and in an outdoor setting! Thanks so much! I'll certainly keep y'all in mind for future events! Best, Molly

They were a fantastic addition to our reception; we could not have been happier with them. They played some pleasant background music during the meal and were flexible on the timing of their breaks so they kept the party going once dinner was over. They played a great variety of music and the dance floor was packed through the end of the wedding! Their style/vibe was also perfect for the venue - a modern bluegrass group fit perfectly with Castle Hill's ambiance! So many of our guests commented on how great they were. We loved them - and they were also a steal! They could up their price and be absolutely worth it. Sam Hill was also incredibly easy to work with and helped us find the group. Thank you to you and your team for that. Everyone was raving about the band and we were so happy with them (which is key, because the band was one of our top three must-haves at the wedding)! Best, Megan

Hi Charles, Lauren and I wanted to thank you and The Bellevue Rhythmaires for an awesome wedding! The music was great, and we got a lot of positive feedback from the guests. Thanks for being flexible with the timeline, and for taking short breaks to keep the party moving. I hope you guys got enough food and drinks, were taken care of, and had a safe trip back to Richmond. I want to thank you for letting me "sit in". In hindsight, I'm glad we decided to add the drums to the lineup!! That was a great surprise, and certainly something I will never forget. I don't remember the song you suggested initially, but American Girl was the only song I thought I could (barely) survive. It has been almost a decade since I sat behind a kit and played with a band, so I apologize for the rust, and appreciate you guys getting me through the song. Lauren, friends, and most of my family have never heard me play (or knew that I played at one time), so I appreciate you guys creating that moment. We hope to see you guys again at another wedding or show. Many thanks, John and Lauren

From: Sarah Edwards Date: Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 3:14 PM Subject: Re: The Bellevue Rhythmaires To: "Justin @ Sam Hill Entertainment" Good Afternoon Justin, Thank you so much, we had such an amazing day! The Bellevue Rhythmaires were amazing, we got so many compliments for them by our guests. They had originally set up to play inside on the dance floor however it was such a nice day outside that everyone was hanging out outdoors so they picked up their guitars and microphone and moved with the crowd! Then when it got darker and chilled down they moved back inside. The flexibility of doing that made the day seamless and so enjoyable, they played a great range of music for everyone. We would definitely recommend them to others. We've also had such an easy and great experience working with Sam Hill Entertainment, I have already recommended you guys to others but will definitely leave a review on the knot and keep spreading the word. Thank you so much for everything. Sarah and Paul

We loved their energy and the fun they brought to the whole night, and our guests could not stay off the dance floor (even at near 100 degrees!) Can't say enough good things about them.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Julie W Date: Sat, Jul 2, 2016 at 5:33 AM Subject: RE: The Bellevue Rhythmaires To: "Andrew @ Sam Hill Entertainment" We loved the two-man bluegrass band from The Bellevue Rhythmaires and would highly recommend them. We invited them to play for my sisters wedding when I scoured bands in the area online, just a few weeks before the event. We all felt that it added just the right missing ingredient to her midweek wedding. All our family and friends enjoyed the music. The band fit in with our bluegrass, outdoor location perfectly (Lydia Mountain Lodge). The band members were friendly and everybody loved singing and dancing along. They even allowed a few old trio members in the family to go on stage and played beautifully while the ladies sang. The unique thing about this band was that they catered to us and the style of the wedding. The kids loved them especially when they played The Alphabet Song to change things up, seeing that some of their biggest fans were at the foot of the stage. Julie W

We had an eclectic group of people at our wedding, and the band did an excellent job of playing music that everyone could enjoy. We heard all night from our guest how much they enjoyed the music. Charles was very accommodating from the start. He was open to every idea we had. During our ceremony, we asked for some non-traditional songs to be played in a traditional wedding sounding way... and he nailed it! The entire day was just an absolute blast, and the band certainly contributed to that. I can't say enough great things about them... they were just an awesome band! Thanks, Derek

Sorry to take so long to respond. The wedding was a blast. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the band. The Bellevue Rythmaires were fantastic. We wanted music that people would enjoy whether dancing or not. All ages, from 2 to 70 years old were on the dance floor and those not dancing said they really enjoyed the music. We had bluegrass, beach music, classics, rock - something for everyone. It was all so well done. Charles was so easy to work with from the start. We asked if a group of us could play a song with the band, and he even sent a video of him playing so we could prepare. They did such a great job, we hope to have another party some day just so we can hire the Bellevue Rhythmaires again! Thank you to Sam Hill for connecting us. We've already given your name to several friends. Heather

And thank you for coming so far to preform. Several of our guests this past week have told me it was one of the best parties they have ever been to! You all were amazing being able to play all those requests, too! Sadly our photos of the evening and most of the family photos taken before the party are either blurred or not framed well. Friends did this for us....AND we got what we paid for.....The only way to correct this is to have another party! Wahoo! My sis in law asked what we would be doing for our 60th Anniversary...but that is way too far away and we are pretty old already. Soooo we are now planning a big bash for our 55th Anniversary in 5 years. Question: Would the Bellevue Rhythmaires come again to New Bern? This next time it would be in a 3,600 sq ft beautiful ball room in our quaint old town (downtown). Again, thank you for coming so far and for a GREAT night of music! Blessings, GeorgeAnn Castles

Charles Arthur was easy and incredible to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the group to anyone that is looking for an act to perform at their event. Please let us know if you ever need a testimonial. Thank you again for a wonderful event! Andy & Danielle Rowdon

These guys are awesome! I have never seen a band get the entire crowd on the dance floor so early in the night and keep them there until the very end, but the Bellevue Rhythmaires pulled it off for our wedding! Charles and crew expertly tailored their performance to match the feel of our wedding and the dance-friendly show that we were hoping for. Their set list appealed to all age ranges with songs that were fun, energetic and full of character. My wife and I were thrilled and our guests clearly felt the same – we received compliments on the performance all night and long afterward. In the biggest testament to the performance, we’ve been contacted by multiple guests from our wedding looking to book Bellevue for their own events. On the planning end of things, Charles was a total pleasure to work with. We especially appreciated that he was laid back and responded promptly. On behalf of my wife, myself, and all our wedding guests, I want to thank the Bellevue Rhythmaires and give them our highest recommendation." Thanks again! We hope to see you all again sometime soon.

It was truly a fabulous event and people are STILL talking (and will be for a while) about how great of a band you all are. The most frequent comment we got during and after the reception was "Whoa. Where did you find the band?! They are the best I've ever heard at a wedding!" For this, the wonderful job announcing and keeping us on time, and the adequate prep ahead of time, we truly thank you. Thanks again! You are definitely a very talented group of musicians! If you have need a recommendation or praise, you'll get very high remarks from us! -Megan and Nathan Burgess

My wedding was a fantastic success, part of which was due to the Bellevue Rhythmaires for providing a great atmosphere with their excellent performance. The customer service before the event was exceptional, with immediate responses and willingness to give us exactly what we wanted for our special day. Even with custom song requests just weeks before the event (Vivaldi's "Spring" for the processional, and Mendelsohn's "Wedding March" for the recessional), the band sent us sound clips within a week so we could decide which sound we liked best. Finally, the best review of all came from the guests, who upon leaving, EVERY SINGLE ONE said, "I LOVED the band!" Bravo. -Max B, Fredericksburg, VA

The Bellevue Rhythmaires absolutely rocked our wedding reception! From the start our interaction with them was extremely professional; they were very accommodating of our outdoor wedding location (under a tent on a farm) and even learned a few songs for us. They were extremely tight musically -- we had some very musically literate folks in the crowd and all were very impressed. We were also pleased that, in addition to the standard bluegrass stuff, they were very good at the classic rock & roll tunes, which kept the dance floor packed until the very end. Our guests are still raving about them. I would 100% recommend the Rythmaires for any event. -Thomas B, Richmond, VA

THIS BAND WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! They were so helpful and accommodating before the wedding and were so great at the actual wedding. They made it so much fun for all our guests! EVERYONE THERE RAVED ABOUT THEM! Their music was amazing and they added such a fun vibe to our event. They were extremely professional and SO NICE throughout it all!

For our functions they play unplugged down amongst the guests for the social hour and plug in when they take the stage for dancing after dinner. The boys interact with the crowd, getting everyone involved. You will not hear, up close and personal, a better group of musicians for whatever function you're having. I recommended the group to others over the years and all have been beyond satisfied." Bill Powell, Deltaville, VA
