Hi Andrew,
Block Party Experience was INCREDIBLE. So many people who prided themselves on having the best wedding band at their own weddings admitted defeat. They really made the party and brought such an incredible energy. Everyone on the band and the Sam Hill side of things were great to work with, and if I ever need a party band again I will hope to get Block Party and will work with Sam Hill again either way. Thank you so much!

Hi Andew,
The band was awesome very professional and very fun! We just left a 5star review on TheKnot for you as well.
I used to book bands through you when I was a student at UVA and the social chair of my fraternity. You and Sam Hill were great then, and great now. Much appreciated.

Hi Katie!
We truly had the time of our life! Block Party experience went above and beyond for our wedding day. From the beginning of booking with you and your assistance in guiding us in the right direction, to the band making the travel to the backwoods of Alabama (where there was absolutely no cell service), being a part of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception – AMAZING! All night, our guests kept approaching us to share how outstanding the band was. We even received requests following our wedding for their information so others can book for future events. They were everything we had hoped for and more. Thank you for making our day one to remember!

Hi Katie!
The band was absolutely fantastic! I had numerous people ask me where I found them, and everyone told us they were the best band they’ve heard in awhile! They were so nice and super easy to work with. Kyle and I were both very happy that they learned the version of our first dance song! It was perfect. Very very pleased with the entire experience!

Hello Katie,
Everything went very well! The band was awesome! We had several compliments on their music and energy they brought to the party. Everyone from 6 to 86 was dancing the entire night much to our surprise. The requested songs for the special dances went very well and the band was very attentive to our requests. We cannot thank you and the band enough for their efforts.

Best band ever. We had a fabulous time at our wedding with The Block Party Experience. They were so nice and when I told them I wanted a full party they delivered. We are so happy with the way the music turned out. We had so many compliments about the band and how amazing they were. They kept the party alive, people on the dance floor, and made it fun for all ages. I would recommend this band to anyone. They were wonderful and so polite after the wedding was over. Please tell them thank you and they were amazing!!!
Thank you!

Mike,
Hope all is well. Man, there aren’t many times that I am blown away by a band, as being a concert producer and venue owner, I see hundreds a year, but this band blew myself & every attendee away. I got 5 or 6 texts within 24 hours asking the name of the band. They brought the energy, the choreography and dancing with the songs brought electricity to the room that I didn’t think was possible. They were also great to work, esp with having special guest Jon Langston take the stage for a song, and then got right back at it. We wished we could have kept the party going all night because I know the crowd would have stayed stage side all night with BPX.
I will 100% leave a review once I return & will also share your contact with everyone asking about this band. They deserve a gold star and I hope I can have them for another event again in the near future.
Thanks!
Braxton

BPX was absolutely amazing and they did a phenomenal job at the wedding. Not only was the performance great, but they did a great job at playing recorded music from phones at specific times when asked (e.g. bride walking down aisle, first dance, etc.).
I will recommend this band to anyone!

BLOCK PARTY EXPERIENCE is the best wedding band hands down!! If you want your guests to dance and sing the whole night, don't look any further than BPX! The Sam Hill team was wonderful to communicate with and helped us narrow down bands based on what we were looking for and we ended up confidently choosing BPX. They were AMAZING! Not only are their singers so incredibly talented, but they are energetic, joyful and fun. We really couldn't have asked for a better band! Also, we had to postpone because of COVID and Sam Hill made it incredibly easy on us. They were so flexible and thoughtful. A wonderful experience front start to finish!

Hey Andrew,
If you are looking for a band that will absolutely stun you and your guests, ask for The Block Party Experience! I cannot find the words to express how amazing this band was at our wedding they were the highlight of our reception! It was noticeable that they took the time to review our preferences for music and they truly delivered on the type of music we requested! There was not a single person in their seats the entire 2.5 hours the band performed! They brought absolute amazing energy and were insanely engaging with our guests even allowing myself and the groom to interact with them on different songs! We have already had multiple guests reach out requesting The Block Party Experience's information for future bookings of other events. As a party crowd, all the Groom and I wished for was a band that would bring amazing energy and excitement to our guests and The Block Party Experience 1,000% delivered. If we had it to do all over again, we would book them time and time again we cannot say enough good things about them! Do yourself a favor, book The Block Party Experience!
Again, thank you so much for everything!
Best,
Morgan McCaw

The band was great! We have gotten so many compliments on them since the wedding. They were energetic, fun, played a great song list and were easy to work with. They even played when the Saints go marching in for our second line. My cousin is in charge of the music for a pretty big Mardi Gras ball in New Orleans and I gave him their contact info for next year because he liked them so much.

Let me just say, the band was incredible. Everyone I’ve spoken with after the wedding weekend have all mentioned how amazing they were. Personally, it couldn’t have been any better. We had a blast and I’d absolutely recommend The Block Party Experience for any wedding reception.
Working with the band was easy, no complaints there either.
I hope the band had a good time as well, Hanna and I really appreciate the effort and energy that they put forth to make our night special.
Thank you again!

Our wedding with The Block Party Experience was so much fun and far exceeded our expectations. We still have friends mentioning how fun, talented and lively they were. They played great songs that met the crowds' energy and interests through all the ages.
Working with you and Sam Hill was so easy. I loved having the option to research the bands ahead of time. Having booked the band so early, it was also nice to refer to the website when showing people our band. Everyone was communicative and quick when we updated our contract at any point.
Please let me know if you would like anything else! It was a pleasure, and I'll definitely share Sam Hill and BPX for those looking in the future!

The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast!! So many guests came up to me raving about the band and I gave out their information to several guests for their future events.
Sam Hill Entertainment was also very good to work with. They were very timely with all communication and answered all of our questions. We were very pleased from beginning to end!!

Mike,
I sent this to a band representative too. I'm the father of bride. Here is some feedback for the Saturday October 16 wedding located at The Mill at Rock Creek, Blowing Rock NC. Barringer Renegar wedding. BPX band was unbelievable. We added a sax player to their usual lineup.
Spoke with most band members at sound check. All incredibly nice, warm and friendly people. All introductions and dance versions were spot on. They did a sax improvisation for Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison that was fantastic. After dinner they started playing and the dance floor was immediately overflowing at the FIRST SONG, with basically most of the 200+ guests dancing or involved. This NEVER stopped until the final send off. I repeat, the dancing NEVER stopped. Hats off to their professionalism, engagement and interaction with the audience.
Cheers,
Ken Barringer

Hello!
As mother of the bride, I would be glad to share my thoughts about the Block Party Experience. When we were pinpointing the things that were our top priorities, a good band was in the top three.
Block Party Experience was phenomenal. The band was vocally amazing, super entertaining, and a definite crowd pleaser. The dance floor was full the entire time.
I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great band experience.
With many thanks,

I even had people contact me after the event to tell me the same thing! The band had such high energy which was evident throughout the entire night. They didn't once stop, and that really made the night unforgettable. I'd recommend The Block Party Experience to absolutely anyone!

Hi Andy,
BPX rocked! I couldn’t have asked for a better performance from a band! Performance wise, the songs they played were perfect while engaging the crowd at the same time. The dance floor was packed from the start to the end of our reception. BPX was definitely the highlight of the night.
Their crew even helped resolve a stage issue we had and we were so thankful!  They were so nice and stepped in with their professional opinion so that we could utilize our space more efficiently, as we were expecting large crowd
I have had so many comments on how great the band was! Someone said they were the best they had seen in several years around this area! Wish we could go back and do it again!
Thank you again,

The band was fantastic! Their energy was unbelievable, I think it was a big reason why no one ever left the dance floor. We were super happy with them, especially because we had never seen them in person before and we didn't know what to expect. Our planner did most of that but from what I could tell they were super responsive.

We got tons of compliments from our family and friends on how great they were, so I think it's safe to say our guests had just as much fun as we did! I will certainly leave positive feedback for you on the Knot. We have nothing but great things to say about Sam Hill and The Block Party Experience. We especially appreciated how accommodating you all were when we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding from November to April. You made it such an easy and stress free process for us, and we really appreciated your kindness and understanding. I hope we will be able to use you all again in the future!

The Block Party Experience absolutely ROCKED our company event last year. We had over 500 people attend and I don't think I even saw one person sitting down as soon as they hit the first note! The song selections were amazing and Trav was so incredible to work with the day of. He was very attentive and always greeted me with a smile the whole night! What a band!
