5-start review on TheKnot.com posted Dec 9, 2019: "The Big Beyond is the best band ever! Our wedding was in DC but when we heard The Big Beyond we knew they were worth the price to bring them in. They were incredible!!! All our guests cannot stop talking about our amazing band. Everyone was up and dancing the entire night! We were a little worried about our first dance song because we had it choreographed, but they played it identical to the real version and it went flawlessly. This group is so fun! I cannot say enough good things. Hire this band if you want an amazing party!" R. Cooper bride 9/7/19 wedding

"The Big Beyond was fabulous. This band was every bit as good and probably better than any band I've ever hired or seen. Their attitude was just fantastic.

It was a great night!" - Sumner Finch, Father of the Bride (4/27/19) "You are amazing! We loved having you in High Point. Please tell us how we can promote you besides word of mouth.

From: Mindy Bloom Date: Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 2:00 PM Subject: RE: The Big Beyond To: Andy Jaspen Andy, The Big Beyond’s performance at Austin and Jay’s wedding far exceeded our expectations. Our guests started dancing in between dinner courses and it was difficult to pull them off the dance floor once they started dancing! They just couldn’t help themselves! The entire band is exceptionally talented and the vocalists are amazing. The decision to work with y’all was one of the very best ones we made in planning Austin and Jay’s wedding! The band truly made the reception outstanding and we are grateful. Warmest appreciation, Mindy

From: "Yates, Alexandra" Date: Monday, February 11, 2019 Subject: RE: 2/9/19 Big Beyond Everything went great with The Big Beyond! Their band leader was wonderful to work with and all of their other band members and crew were a delight. We enjoyed having them entertain the Ballet Ball crowd. The dance floor was packed all night! We really appreciate all of your and your team’s help with the band. Thank you so much! Warmly, Alexandra Yates Director of Special Events Houston Ballet

5-star review on the TheKnot.com posted 11/21/18: "The Big Beyond performed for our daughters wedding on Nov 17, 2018 at Graylyn Estate and cannot say enough awesome things about this band. They performed, and I do mean performed, for over 3 hours non stop! They are so talented in every way from their voices, their choreography and playing instruments! If you want a band that you will always remember and your guests will love, book them now! they truly know how to entertain!"

From: Pam Myers Date: Tue, Nov 20, 2018 at 9:45 AM Subject: RE: The Big Beyond To: Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment Andy, The Big Beyond was FANTASTIC! I would love to have thanked each of them personally after the wedding but we had the “send off” and then I crashed I was so tired. We have had so many compliments on the band as well. Their talent in both singing and the choreography was incredible! We could not believe the energy these ladies and gentlemen had, wow! We are so glad that Betsy and Becca recommended them for the wedding and they certainly did not disappoint! Please pass on to each member of the band how much we enjoyed the evening and how awesome they were!! Thank you again so very much!! Pamela O. Myers

From: Bill Davis Date: Mon, Oct 22, 2018 at 11:46 AM Subject: Re: The Big Beyond To: Beth Hi Beth, the show went great! The band was a HOME-RUN! Chris and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with! And the main result was they were able to get more people on the dance floor and keep them on the dance floor more than ever before for this audience. I can’t wait to work with The Big Beyond again!

From: Rachel Williams Date: Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 3:11 PM Subject: Re: The Big Beyond To: "Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment" Hi Andy, We had the most fantastic time with the band at our wedding. The Big Beyond was AH-MAZING and they were so nice. Our guests did not want to stop dancing, in fact they begged me to ask them to play longer! And my husband (who generally DOES.NOT.DANCE) actually danced the entire night! Everyone is still raving about how good they were and what an excellent party it was. Please send our special thanks to all of them! Thanks again to the whole team for making our night the party we’d dreamed of! Rachel

From: Max Steuer Date: Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 7:00 PM Subject: Big Beyond To: Andy Jaspen / Sam Hill Entertainment Dear Andy Happy new year! I want to tell you how delighted my family was with the band The Big Beyond which we had for my daughter Meredith‘s wedding October 21, 2017 at Lonesome Valley in Cashiers, North Carolina. When we drove up to the venue a couple of hours before the the ceremony, the band was rehearsing the father daughter dance number, Tom Petty‘s “Wildflower”. It sounded so good, that one of Meredith‘s bridesmaids was convinced it was a recording. After dinner, the band played magnificently. Family members who I had never seen dance in 30 years were laughing and shaking. The instrumental and vocal quality of the Band-members was first rate. Both my daughter and I are amateur musicians and we were over the top delighted with how well the band performed. Also, the dance floor remain packed the entire time which is the ultimate compliment. I cannot recommend this band more highly and I would be glad to talk to anyone that is considering hiring them for their wedding. Max Steuer

From: Dorothy Clark Van Meter Date: Sun, Jun 18, 2017 at 12:35 PM Subject: Rave for The Big Beyond To: info@samhillbands.com Justin, Just wanted to communicate and let you know that The Big Beyond played for my daughters wedding reception on June 3 in Lexington, KY. Without a doubt the best party band I have ever heard, and that was echoed by so many of the guests throughout the evening and after. And FUN!! I have never been to an event, much less one that I hosted, where the dance floor was absolutely packed with people ranging in age from 5 to 80s the entire night. The personnel were also so nice to talk to before and after. I have already given their name as well as Sam Hill to three people, one in Alabama, one in Lexington, and one in Pennsylvania(the maid of honor at our event) Great job!! And thanks!

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shanna Stewart Date: Tue, Jun 13, 2017 at 11:54 AM Subject: Re: The Big Beyond To: Andrew Juge Hi Andrew, The event was a success and the band was a hit! Thanks again for all your help and being a part of the event. We will certainly be in touch if we need entertainment at future events. Best, Shanna Stewart

5-star review on TheKnot.com posted 06/04/2017 "We had The Big Beyond at our Biltmore wedding in Asheville this May and they were INCREDIBLE. The band was super interactive, very dynamic and diverse. They played the classics as well as the newest Top 40 list. The band had my guests on the dance floor all night. They were definitely a pivotal vendor on my wedding night and my husband is already trying to convince me to book them for his 30th Birthday this year. HIGHLY recommend!"

They kept everyone on the dance floor all night (which I think they also really loved lol). They were super interactive with the crowd which was great. Song selections were wonderful, up to date and accurate for all moments during the night. I will gladly leave a recommendation on The Knot. Thank you very much, Kacey Mahoney
