From: Peter Brosnan Date: Wed, Jul 3, 2019 at 9:31 AM Subject: Re: Eight Past Midnight To: Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment Mike, There aren't enough words I could come up with to describe how great Eight Past Midnight was, and they completely justified our decision to book through you guys and specifically to book them. The entire process leading up to the wedding was easy, and after seeing the finished product, it's clear they listened to our specific directions regarding songs to play, not play, songs to start with, songs to end with, etc. It was easy to communicate, handle payments, coordinate logistics... and that's very important considering the stresses that come with wedding planning. It's nice to not have to worry about the band. They were extremely friendly when we met and interacted with them, both before the reception and afterwards. Most importantly, they sounded amazing and were a huge hit. The dance floor was packed all night and there are countless videos of friends & family dancing to the music, singing with the band, having the best time of their lives. The lead singer (female - don't remember her name) came down into the crowd with the microphone and interacted with everyone. Even typing this out now and recapping everything is making me sad that it's over. We'll definitely be recommending them to anyone who's looking, and I'm happy to leave a review or feedback somewhere else for you guys. Thanks, Peter & Haili Brosnan

The lead singers were my favorite. :) The one with the fan was the best, she was living her best life and owned the stage like Beyonce! I really liked them - they were really lovely. Thanks!

From: Mark Beasley Date: Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 3:02 PM Subject: Fwd: Eight Past Midnight To: Gloria Gloria, Wow!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Eight Past Midnight for the awesome performance and entertainment you all provided at the wedding reception for our daughter, Ann Archer Beasley, and our new son-in-law, Chase Bengel, on Saturday night (June 1, 2019). The band hit a "grand slam" with how they performed and entertained our guests for the evening. So many people commented about how fabulous your band was in making the evening so fun. As you saw, beginning with the very first song after the "first dances" for the bride and groom, the dance floor was packed for the rest of the night. The crowd danced the night away until the reception ended with your last song. The band was incredible!!!!! We are so so so very pleased with how the band set the excitement and fun for the night. You made it a great celebration! Thank you especially for all the prep-call work you did with me in advance of the evening. Each time we spoke, I left our call feeling very confident that things would go great. And, you did not disappoint!! I am especially grateful for the band's willingness to work with us to play straight through once you started. That kept the energy level high for the entire night. And, having the singers come out into the crowd at different times helped keep everyone so enthused and engaged. We couldn't be more pleased. When we need a band in the future, we will come to you first for sure. And, we'll be recommending you to anyone who asks!!! Thanks also for the professionalism of the entire crew. They are great entertainers - they provide tons of fun and energy in a classy, respectful way. What a great group you have working together. Please share this note of gratitude with them, too. Again, I just can't say "thank you enough". Eight Past Midnight is FABULOUS! Sincerely, Mark Beasley

From: Elaine Sinclair Date: Wed, May 29, 2019 at 5:55 PM Subject: Eight Past Midnight To: Hi Justin, This is Elaine Sinclair, daughter of Rosie Sinclair and bride from this weekend's wedding. I thought I would send you an email to RAVE about how much we loved Eight Past Midnight at our wedding; they absolutely made our night! All of the band members were incredibly talented, and the three lead singers were the best I've seen and were so much fun to watch! They did an amazing job coming out into the audience to sing with us, but our guests loved dancing and singing with them, regardless...the minute they started playing after dinner, everyone was out there! They did such a great job learning a new song (that was, hopefully, fun for them to learn) for our first dance, and the rest of their song list was totally on point for the party. I can't express how much fun we had with them there, and how grateful we are to them for performing for our event. All of our friends and family were as in love with them as we were, so I hope that we can write a review of them elsewhere...we will 100% recommend them to anyone else looking for a band in the future! As an aside, working with Gloria Burton was also great. She was so easy to work with and even when we did things a little last minute, she accommodated! Cheers, Elaine Sinclair

From: Sinclair, Rosie Date: Wed, May 29, 2019 at 12:25 PM Subject: RE: Eight Past Midnight To: Justin @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hi Justin, Eight Past Midnight were awesome! That were so entertaining and such great musicians and so professional. We were so pleased with them. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. They far exceeded my expectations for sure! I forwarded your email to Elaine so that she could respond as well. She and Alex were also thrilled with them. Our wedding planner was also impressed and was going to refer them to her future clients. Not only were the songs and the singing great but they were so fun to watch, the way they interacted with the us and with each other. They are the real deal! Thanks for all of you help in this process. Rosie Sinclair

From: Carson Holly Date: Sun, Nov 4, 2018 at 6:48 PM Subject: Thank you To: Andy Jaspen Andy, We can’t thank you enough for your suggestion of Eight Past Midnight. They sounded better than I could have ever dreamed of and had people of all ages dancing the entire night. They paid attention to every detail and kept us on schedule the whole time. They were so fun and energetic and I loved how they let my brother even play the drums with them for two songs - it was the best night because of them. Thank you again for helping make our wedding weekend such a perfect one that we will never forget! Carson and Jason

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Elizabeth Webb Date: Sun, Oct 21, 2018 at 5:26 PM Subject: Re: Eight Past Midnight To: Andrew @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hi Andrew, My daughter, Lauren Webb, was married on 9/29 and the band we selected for their wedding was Eight Past Midnight. I cannot say enough good things about them. They were on point with everything and made the reception so lively and so fun. The music they selected was perfect and kept the dance floor full all night long. They played perfect pre-recorded light jazz during cocktail hour, then transitioned to live jazz during dinner, and then ramped it up to dance music for the rest of the evening. We loved their energy and the way they interacted with the guests on the dance floor. They were such a fun band and perfect for a wedding reception. So many of our guests raved about the music. We would definitely recommend Sam Hill Entertainment, and Eight Past Midnight to our friends. Thank you to you all for making our reception such a success. Great memories! Sincerely, Elizabeth Webb

It was a pleasure working with Gloria - she was extremely thorough throughout the planning process. We'll be happy to review Sam Hill on The Knot and will certainly be recommending 8PM to our friends. The band was very professional, had great energy, and their song selection really kept the party going all the way until the very end. Thanks! Mark Hogan

From: clark candler Date: June 20, 2018 at 11:22:35 AM EDT To: "Beth @ Sam Hill Subject: Re: Eight Past Midnight Beth, The band was great and I appreciate you steering me to them. In the months leading up to the event, I was able to communicate well with Gloria Burton on the logistics of the evening and the set lists. The bands performance was exactly what I wanted....high energy and engaging. I was worried that our older crowd would slip out early and we would be left with an empty dance floor, but thanks to the band's engaging attitude, we had to force folks off the floor at the end of the evening. My most pleasant surprise of the day was the band's incredibly early arrival and set up. The party was not until 7:00 pm and I had anticipated pacing the parking lot at 6:30 wondering where the band was, expecting the usual excuses of traffic or other "unforeseeable logistics" thwarting their effort to be on time. When I went to the club at 11:00 am to erect some flags for the evening, I was thrilled to find that the band was already there and in fact was pretty much finished with the set up. Besides their excellent musical performance and their stellar attitudes, this early arrival and preparation impressed me the most. Thanks, Clark Candler

From: William K Parker Date: Fri, Apr 27, 2018 at 9:15 AM Subject: RE: Eight Past Midnight To: Beth Treschitta Hi, Beth. The band was fantastic! They played great selections and really engaged the crowd. Unlike lots of bands, they even kept it going during the break by playing recorded music that people wanted to dance to – so much so that we literally broke the dance floor! They are definitely on our list for next year. I’ll let you know as soon as we have a date. - Kerry
