Good morning, Andy. Thank you for reaching out! Horizon could not have been better. They made for an incredibly fun evening.
I really enjoyed working with Lawrence, who always answered my calls and texts, and incorporated all of our requests. They put together a great set and really listened to our likes and dislikes from the survey we filled out.
Overall I think they did an incredible job. I could be biased since it was my own wedding, but I felt like it was one of the more fun weddings I’ve ever attended! The dance floor stayed full all night with guests from all generations. That was my biggest hope for the evening that the music would appeal to all generations and that the dance floor would go all night long and they made it happen!
Thanks again,
Caroline

Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for touching base. Horizon was absolutely wonderful. I was in contact with Lawrence Blow before the wedding, they learned a song for the first dance, and did a fabulous job of it. The dance floor was filled the entire time. We would choose them again in a skinny minute and actually have a “professional music “ friend say “when I get married, that is who I want to play at my wedding”.
I had a conversation with you when we were concerned about our band choice, you had listened to my concerns and you were very confident about Horizon’s talent and professionalism; you were correct.
Thanks for everything!

I told everyone before the wedding to make sure they wore their dancing shoes and Horizon did not disappoint us.

When they started to play everyone got up and continued to dance. Comments from our friends and Mollie/ Rob's friends includedgreat sound, great dancing music, solid vocals and brass section, party band, fantastic play list and where did you get them? We had an age range from early 30's to 60's and everyone loved them. The group consensus was the reception ended too soon. And of course I told them Sam Hill Entertainment. Also Lawrence was so good to work with.....thanks for making my daughter's wedding even a more memorable occasion!

Lawrence was so easy to work with, and made me feel comfortable leading up to the event. I truly wish I spent more time dancing than talking at the wedding because Horizon was phenomenal!!

Everything for Amanda and Andrew's wedding was perfect. If, however, they had to pick one single thing that was their absolute favorite I believe it would be the band Horizon. Amanda, Andrew and all of their millennial friends, along with the older folks (like me and my husband) had so much fun dancing together, thanks to Horizon. Thank you so much for assisting us in our band search process. I know everyone from the wedding will be passing along Horizon's information!

Hi Andrew,
It was more than a pleasure working with Horizon. They performed outstanding throughout the wedding and kept this rowdy crowd on the dance floor all night. The band did everything they could to ensure Adam and I had the perfect night. I ran up to the them a moment before the last song and asked them to play Tupelo Honey, so I could have one last dance with my dadThey executed, and I so treasure them creating that moment for us. They let my sister, a musician, drum for one songanother special moment. Everyone loved their energy, enthusiasm, and talent throughout the night.
I found Lawrence Blow, the bandleader, an absolute delight to speak with on the phone in the weeks and months prior to the event. To be honest, he did a lot to make me, the bride, feel calm, cool, and collected in the build up to the wedding. After talking with him each time, I felt certain that everyone was going to have a good time. What a great person.
We love Horizon, and thank you to Sam Hill Entertainment for putting together such an amazing group of individuals.
Best,
Kathy

I can't begin to describe how amazing the band Horizon was at our wedding reception!! Our guests are still raving about them and many actually commented that they thought they were the best band they had heard at any wedding reception. We loved them and the dance floor was packed all night long! Their song selection was the best and their energy incredible! The band leader, Lawrence was so easy to work with and we genuinely felt he wanted us to have the best reception ever! Choosing the right band was our number one priority from the very beginning. Undoubtedly, we made the very best decision hiring Horizon through Sam Hill Entertainment!! Andy Jaspen at Sam Hill was so helpful in the entire process of making this decision and was always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. A great person to work with! We made the right choice and are so happy we did!

Regarding the band. I had high expectations for the band after watching several video performances and reading reviews. However, after last night, they far exceeded those expectations. They were professional, energetic and had a great set list that seemed to always play the right next song. I received multiple comments and compliments about how impressed our guests were with the entertainment.

It was a pleasure having them perform at our party. Please send my appreciation to the band, themselves.

Let me just tell you what a pleasure it was working with the band Horizon and the music that they provided for my daughter Lauren‘s wedding. Lawrence Blow and the crew could not have been nicer and could not have performed better.
It is my feeling that a wedding is made by the quality of the music you provide for those attending. There is not one person that hasn’t commented on what a great job the band did and how much fun the wedding was. It is without reservation that I would recommend the band horizon to put that quality finishing touch on a great day at a wedding.
Thank you again for providing such a quality band for our reception!!

Horizon band , Lawrence Blow! You just covered by daughters wedding this past weekend at the Tides Inn. There are no words to describe your band other than awesome, phenomenal, rockin', downright wicked (I am a 60yearold woman saying it like it is).
Every single person that came up to me that night wanted to know the name of the band and how phenomenal you all were. I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER known a band to play for four hours straight with one break!
If you need a personal spokes person or a personal reference have the interested person contact me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my daughter's wedding something very special and will be remembered for a lifetime.

We thought the Horizon Band did an amazing job at our daughter's Wedding Reception this past weekend. We heard a lot of positive feedback from our guests of approximately 300 people.

The band's performance was truly of professional quality. Their performance consisted of a variety of dance and party music, just as we requested. We loved the brass, vocals and all of their other instrumentation. Bottom line...we loved them!

Please pass along our sincere thanks to the band for helping to make my daughter and new soninlaw's Reception so very special and memorable.

We were the third in our group of friends to have Horizon at their wedding and there will be two more that we know of after. How fun to relive it!

Sam Hill and the entire team were fantastic. Finding our wedding band was incredibly EASY and FUN. Andy at Sam Hill was especially great to work with. Sam Hill would check in every so often to ensure everything was running smoothly and always there to offer any assistance we needed. We booked Horizon for our wedding band and they were unbelievable! My wife and I could not have imagined the big day without the help of Sam Hill and Horizon. We reached out to Sam Hill and had Horizon booked within only a few days.

Hi Andrew,
There is no higher endorsement of their entire performance from start to finish than the fact that at least 3 of our friends have now booked them for their weddings... Lawrence really took the time to get to know us and what kind of music we liked, and he was incredibly communicative through the entire process. They even learned a song for my first dance with my dad, which we sent them as a last minute request the week of our wedding. Not only that, they played it like they'd sung it a hundred times! When I think back to our phone calls last year around this time, I could not be more grateful that you recommended them because they were the piece that made our wedding truly the best night of our lives. I have never attended a wedding where the entire party (in our case, 300 people) is on the dancefloor the whole night, but that's how ours went. The energy was just incredible.
Please pass our sincerest gratitude to Lawrence and all of Horizon for being the wedding band of our dreams! We really cannot thank them enough for making our wedding so special. And I cannot thank you enough for recommending them!
Hoping we'll be able to book them for a future 10th anniversary, perhaps? The good news is that we will have many opportunities to hear them again at our friends' weddings over the next year (and probably more)! Thank you again, and all the best!

We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Horizon. I was fairly specific about music songs I did and did not want played, as well as a breakdown by percentage of different genres. They did exactly what I had indicated on the form!! They were classy and upbeat, as requested. Something Jacob wanted was a strong female vocalist, and she was just amazing. We also have zero complaints about working with Sam Hill so responsive, attentive, thorough.
The band is such a crucial component of a wedding for us and our friends/family, so thank you so much for making it a great day!

We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with both Sam Hill and Horizon! The whole booking process couldn't have been easier, and Horizon brought the house down; all of our guests were raving about how great they were. The setlist was just what we were looking for: a solid blend of classic R&B/Motown/Funk and contemporary hits, but nothing that was played out. They also did an excellent job of reading and working the crowd, which made the night all the more fun; the dance floor was always packed.
Thanks again!

Hi Andy!

Horizon was fantastic this past weekend! Always a pleasure working with them and anticipate having them here on several other occasions in the future, as I have had a lot of inquiries as to “who was the band on Saturday night?’
The group is extremely polite and very easy to work with!

Hi Andrew,
We wanted to let you know how amazing the reception was! And there's no doubt in our minds that the night would have been the same without Horizon. Lawrence and the rest of the band were absolutely amazing. Incredible musicians, consummate professionalsit really was a true delight to see them perform. The dance floor was always busy, and we couldn't have asked for more. We have been raving about Horizon, and will continue to do so (and we definitely won't be the only ones, as there were quite a few people at the reception who asked). If anyone needs a recommendation, feel free to send them our way!
Thank you so much to Lawrence and the rest of Horizon for making our wedding day that much more memorable. It really was perfection.

Andrew,
Our family's experience with the Horizon Band was great in every way.
First, the music was absolutely on target. We had requested mostly upbeat, high energy material, and Horizon sure delivered. First, a set of bluesy jazz and r&b; then soul, funk, and r&b (all as requested) for HARD dancing! We had several experienced musicians attending our party, and they all commented on Horizon's talents and musicianship. A very tight and professional sound for sure instruments and vocals.
Horizon generated a great party vibe. They looked sharp and kept the energy level sky high. We have received a lot of feedback from our friends in attendance. All thought Horizon was terrific many said the best live band experience they had ever had.
Finally, the band was exceptionally easy to work with, and obviously prides itself on professionalism. They arrived 3+ hours early to set up, started right on time, took modest breaks, and enthusiastically played encores. The individual band members were very friendly and nice to chat with no egos, attitudes, late arrivals, with Horizon. Lawrence Blow, Horizon's manager and bass player, deserves special mention. We had nice chats with Lawrence before our party to discuss party plans and our music requests, and he was very thoughtful and attentive to our needs during the event. What a nice guy!
Thanks to Horizon Band and Sam Hill Entertainment for our terrific party experience.

Hello Andrew,

Horizon was absolutely amazing and I can’t say enough good things about their professionalism, demeanor, presentation, capabilities, and style. Everything about their contribution was PERFECT and I highly recommend this band for future events. They played a great jazz set during dinner which showcased their talented performers, and the rest of the evening was devoted to pure and unadulterated dancing. I did not witness many sitting – myself included.

When I paid Mr. Blow, I took the time to thank him profusely for their excellent music and I hope you will also reinforce my compliments to all of the band members again. I can’t remember when I have enjoyed a group so much.

Thank you most sincerely,

We also used them for our cocktail hour where they broke down to a four piece jazz quartet. I would highly recommend Horizon to anyone in the future. I shook a lot of hands at the end of the night, and everyone commented on how great the band was.

Lawrence and Mike, please know that Anne and I are still receiving compliments on the fabulous night of music provided by your Horizon band!

We could not be more pleased with the entire evening, and certainly want you both to know we appreciate the effort and energy required to make the trek from Richmond for our daughter Ginny’s wedding. Your band clearly understands the concept of entertainment without having to “showcase” the performance, and I truly cannot recall a dance floor filled with so many wanting to be a part of it.

Ginny and Richard both remarked too that they enjoyed chatting with the band after the last song, waiting to leave, and they especially enjoyed the “When the Saints” rendition leading the crowd to the door.

Since Ginny is our only daughter, we will not have the chance to book you again for a wedding. If we ever get the chance to bring you back to South Carolina we certainly will!

I am delighted to be a reference for any future inquiry. Thanks again.

The guests were of all ages and many were musicians themselves everybody loved Horizon's excellence, dynamism, harmonies, and choreography.
We loved their full range of instrumentation, having good male and female voices, coordinated outfits (as a visual plus for us middle and older adults), and overall professionalism. The teens and 2030 somethings were so inspired by them that most leapt/danced around nearly without a break beginning to end!

The band members managed all of our requests, were timely, pleasant and professional to work with, kept our guests on the dance floor the whole night, and even played a little bit past when they were scheduled to wrap up because they could tell how pumped up everyone was. The whole night and following day we got tons of compliments on how great the band was, and we would highly recommend them to anyone throwing an event.

The crowd hit the dance floor the minute they finished their dance and it was packed all night. They are amazingly talented. Lawrence and Horizon are so talented. The musicians and the vocals were spot on for every song. The crowd loved them. We had a videographer so I will send you a link if you like and you can see for yourself what a hit they were with our crowd. The newlyweds were so pleased, as was everyone else.

The band was fantastic! We heard nothing but rave reviews from everyone there and we had over 300 people! I will point out a few things:
1. During dinner, they played low key music like Breezin' by George Benson, Girl from Ipanema ..... absolutely perfect as background music while we had dinner. Loved it!!
2. Then when they cranked up the music, the crowd got on the dance floor and stayed on the dance floor through the last number! I am the mother of the groom, and I had about 8 of my college friends there (we always love to dance!) ..... we have heard lots of bands through the years and we thought that Horizon was wonderful! One of my friends had Black and Blue at her daughter's wedding and thought Horizon was better!
3. I would recommend Horizon for any event, but they are just perfect for a fun wedding reception! I will post a great review on your website when I catch my breath!
4. Their attire looked so nice ..... very, very professional group.
5. For our taste, great mix of oldies, Motown, beach, and current songs.
Can you tell we loved them?? I thanked them for their role in making our family's wedding reception absolutely perfect!!

Lawrence was extremely easy to work with. I basically just filled out his questionnaire and he took it from there. Everything was announced correctly, songs were right, and we all had a great time. I think the band also had fun they commented that we were a great audience and so many people were on the dance floor! They got people partying just as I hoped they would.
We are so grateful for you and the talented folks with Horizon. Thank you for making our wedding reception so much fun! Additionally, I think the Club also really enjoyed working with Horizon and have already mentioned how they hope to book them for future country club events. Finally, I also have a younger sister. Unless she wants to be a rebel and do something different, I am sure Horizon will be asked to play at another Prince girl wedding reception!

As the father of the bride I would also like to complement the band for a fantastic evening. The dance floor was always packed and all our guests complemented us on the band. Their choice of songs and talent made for such a great evening. We just couldn’t believe it was over so quickly. Make sure to convey our thanks to all the band members for a most enjoyable evening.

Hi Andy,
Thank you! Everything went so well on the wedding day, we had so much fun. And Horizon did an amazing job. They had everyone out on the dance floor the whole night they were just awesome. And I can't tell you how many friends and family members have commented about how great the band was. We're so happy that we had them play at my wedding! The song choices were great and they did a great job preforming them. We couldn't be happier with their performance!!

Andy,
Happy New Year to you too! Oh my gosh we loved Horizon! Everyone did! The dance floor was packed the whole night. The band did a great job of putting three songs together for my husband. He wanted a combination of songs for the father/daughter dance. It worked out perfectly. The entire wedding and reception couldn't have been better.
So many people asked for the name of the band and wanted to know where we booked them. Of course, we told them about Katie's friend Andy Jaspen at Sam Hill Entertainment. I hope you do get some calls. We will certainly call you if we need a band in the future.
All the best for 2014.

I wanted to add my kudos to Neal’s email about Horizon! They were wonderful! Our guests were up dancing from the time they played Hava Negila (which was great) until they played the last dance! None of our guests had ever heard them before and thought they were awesome! I am still seeing guests that rave about the band. Horizon kept the party going from start to finish.
I have already passed on your info to several people! We loved the band, and you all were great to work with.

Hi there,

We had a great wedding day, and Horizon was definitely a top highlight! They were absolutely wonderful! The band did a great job playing enjoyable, soft music during our sit down dinner and then we were so pleased with the song they learned for our first dance! The father/daughter dance was also perfect and from the moment the mother/son dance was finished, Horizon set an upbeat and fun tone for the party, and the dance floor was packed until the end of the night. We got so many compliments about how much the guests enjoyed the band and how much fun everyone had dancing to them. One of my best friends, and bridesmaids, Danielle Powell, liked them so much she booked them for her September 2014 wedding!

Thank you so much for your help booking Horizon for our wedding. We could honestly not have been any more pleased with their performance and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants their wedding to be a highenergy, lively party that gets people of all ages on the dance floor!

Many Thanks,
Amy

They were so nice and easy to work with beforehand (even learned two extra songs for us), and the dance floor was packed the entire night! They also were really helpful with MCing the night and keeping the energy level high even during breaks. Everyone has asked my parents and I about the band, and I've already had several friends with weddings coming up this year that want their contact info.

We LOVED Horizon at our wedding. They were very professional, arriving hours early for sound check, looked great, and kept everyone dancing throughout the reception. The energy level was great and they picked really good songs! Looking back at the wedding photos now you can see children, young adults, and retired people all getting down on the dance floor, which is exactly what we were going for. Even in the very last song (Shout), the band leader had enough energy to lie down on the floor with everybody while still singing (during the a little bit softer now part) and it made for some amazing pictures! Once we have the final digital proofs I'd be happy to share them with you. We loved this band and are so glad we hired them for the wedding. We'd highly recommend them.

And from the minute they started playing after dinner, the whole dance floor was packed all night! I have never been to a wedding where that was the case. The songs were fun, they were wonderful to work with, professionally dressed, and went with the flow (we were a little off schedule from dinner). Please send my thanks to them. And thank you for being so thorough and easy to work with as well. I will definitely recommend Sam Hill and Horizon to my friends.

A funny story that our florist told me...when the caterer's help, florist, and lighting people were setting up for the reception the band was testing some songs...apparently they sounded so good that all of the workers stopped to listen to them and didn't want them to stop playing.

They played a total of like 5 hours and kept the same energy throughout. I have spoken to many of our guests since and they all have said how great the band was (people of all age ranges). Don't worry, we have passed on the info to some people and we told a newly engaged couple to reach out to you the other weekend...their wedding is in Culpeper.

We ABSOLUTELY loved Horizon and they were such an integral part of our wedding day. We received tons of compliments during the wedding and after, and I'm pretty sure they stirred some business up that night. We had warned them ahead of time that we had a rowdy crowd that loved to dance and they totally played into that vibe and continued to play, well after the reception was supposed to end. Chris and I were up on the stage dancing with the band for the last hour of the night and they didn't seem to mind (Chris even did the gator to shout up there). On the way back to the hotel, we were trying to figure out how we could plan another party with all of our friends and use Horizon. We'll let you know if we come up with anything!
Seriously though, I cannot say enough good things and they went above and beyond our expectations. Please let me know if you ever need me to serve as a reference :)

Juge the band was FANTASTIC! They played everything we asked including a first dance tune that wasn't on there list (Tupelo Honey) and an obscure Phish tune that I asked them to learn. And they absolutely nailed it.
Seriously I couldn't be more pleased. They got a new lead singer as well who was just terrific. I'd recommend this band to anyone, anywhere. Frankly, now that its all said and done I am very surprised they charge so little. I think they could easily kick their fee up a notch or two with it still being an incredible value.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help through the whole process. Sam Hill is a well oiled machine and it was a great comfort working with you through the whole planning process.
So thanks again.
Kindly,
Matt

Hi Hank!
We're back from Hawaii all married and happy! :)
Horizon ended up being, in a word, fantastic!!!! I'm not kidding....
Working with Lawrence Blow was great. On the day of the wedding the whole group was very professional...got there on time, had a great set up and sound
board, and was so appreciative of their provided hot dinners. And,
then they got the party started!! :) Everyone was dancing and had an
awesome time, which was exactly what Will & I had hoped for! The new singer was equally as good asif not better thanthe first and we were thrilled!! All in all, the band
rocked and I've had multiple people ask me about how/where we've found
them, so I've been telling everyone who asks about Sam Hill
Entertainment! Hopefully I'm sending more business your way (not that
you need my help)! ;) Thank you again for ALL of your help throughout
this whole process from start to finish! You've been incredibly
wonderful!! I'll be calling you for our anniversary partiesha!! :)
Thank you, thank you,

Hi Andy,
Just wanted to let you know how much we loved HORIZON at Sarah wedding. They were absolutely wonderful! Lawrence is such a nice guy and he was so easy to work with. The band arrived very early to setup and was ready to go. They displayed topnotch professionalism. And on top of everything going very smoothly, THEY ROCKED THE CROWD!
I received so many compliments on the band and would highly recommend them for any wedding or party. These guys are great!!

Thanks for getting in touch with me. We were thrilled with Horizon Band! They were absolutely professional, in every sense of the word. The band nailed the song we asked them to play for our first dance. Everyone in the band was talented and fun, fun!
We had a diverse crowd, from 5 yearold flower girls, to doctors and attorneys, all the way down to an 89 year old tirechanger; and the band catered to all of them. The sound was good and the set list was, too. I reallly cannot think of ANYTHING that did not meet or exceed our expectations of this band. If I had another event, I wouldn't think twice before calling Horizon and/or Sam Hill.
Thanks you so much for a wonderful wedding reception. Please relay our thanks to the band.
Take Care,

Besides Valerie and her gorgeous looks that night, Horizon was the highlight of our reception. They were everything a newly wedded couple wants in a party band professional, courteous, and downright awesome. Lawrence was reassuring and easily accessible in the weeks leading up to the reception. And on wedding night, Horizon kept everyone everyone of all ages on the floor for the entire night.
They did a great job keeping everyone dancing all night with songs familiar to most, if not everyone there which is exactly what we wanted. So many of our guests congratulated us for finding such a great band willing to drive so far to perform for us. In a good sign for them, I noticed most of their business cards were gone by the end of the night and everyone applauded them and many approached them to thank them when the night was over.
I was particularly touched when one of the band members whose name I now sadly forget went out of his way during one of the breaks to come up to me and congratulate me personally on our wedding.
So basically they were everything we wanted and more. Thanks to you and Lawrence and the entire band for helping make our wedding night so special. You have our full endorsements and recommendation to friends and family in the future.
Keep in touch,
Ed and Valerie

Horizon was fantastic! We all danced until midnight. The funniest moment in the entire wedding weekend was my conservative 10 year old nephew who started the “John Travolta” solo dance that the band played up. The band was really responsive to the excitement of the wedding party. They played a variety of music that made everyone happy. Our Carolina family (groom/mother) especially enjoyed dancing to the Shag music. I don’t think that Annapolis has seen so much “dancin” at a wedding reception.

Horizon was absolutely fabulous at our wedding! They did a great job on the instrumental set during cocktails playing a good mix of slower and more lively tunes to help set the tone. Then after the break they just nailed the party set. I mean, it was awesome. They played a great mix of motown, funk, pop and new music that kept everyone dancing the entire time. And when I say dancing, I mean truly breaking it down hard. I have been to over 20 weddings in the past few years and I have never seen the dance floor so packed for so long. Lawrence nailed our first dance song making the start of the evening perfect for Lauren and I, and the band never let up from there. The range of music kept everyone young and old engaged and made it a truly fun time. We had also requested that the band play Bon Jovi's Livin on a Prayer as our last song because it was a college anthem for us. Lawrence mentioned that they had played it before and that they could do it. When the time came they nailed it. I learned later from Lawrence that they spent extra time practicing it in advance and are now going to make a regular part of their party set. That is the type of special care and attention to our event that made it go from good to exceptional. The band also bypassed their party set break and stayed on the floor playing for over 2 hours striaght because the crowd had such good energy and they were feeding off of it. Again, going the extra mile to make the event even more special.
I can't thank Horizon enough for their wonderful performance and Sam Hill for helping us make our wedding all we could have hoped for. Please feel free to pass along my information to anyone who is looking for a reference for Sam Hill and Horizon and feel free to pass these remarks along to the band.
Thanks again Andy,

It was a nonstop party. I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the band HORIZON. My daughter will be in touch when she gets to Alexandria later today but I told Lawrence I would get right to you with feedback. The great thing about Horizon was its versatility. The early part of the evening was jazz and some of my friends jitterbugged etc.. But when they moved into the faster stuff the whole group just got up and danced. This was a really really fun evening because absolutely EVERYONE danced. My niece said she and her husband were out there dancing for the first time since their own wedding 18 years ago. Young and old alike were so happy with this band. We feel sort of lucky because we did not approach this very analytically. Never asked for a CD, or a reference beyond what you said. We were just too busy with other things. Horizon will certainly be our first choice for another event. They were very professional, very good musicians, and very nice people and we thoroughly enjoyed them. I hope they liked the crab cakes I sent home with them.

I’ve even had couples that live in town who have events to plan of their own ask for Horizon’s name. I’ve of course forwarded your information too!
The band was perfect in knowing when to play dinnertype music and when to mix it up a bit, and by the end of the evening they were “bringing the house down”. My outoftown girlfriends (who look forward to the dancing at weddings) had the best time of all! But it was even more impressive to see the older folks who don’t dance often have a blast on the dance floor.
I will definitely keep you and Sam Hill in mind if the need ever arises again for live entertainment. What an easy way to find a band that suits one’s needs!
Thanks again!

Thanks for your email. In short, Horizon was spectacular. Hiring a band we'd never heard in person was a bit of a wild card, and I held my breath when they started playing luckily it took all of about 10 seconds for the dance floor to fill up! There were people dancing whom I'd never expected to be out on the dance floor parents, grandparents, even our priest! Almost everyone I spoke to, at the reception and afterwards, said something like 'Congratulations! Who is your band and where did you find them? They are AWESOME!'. We are so thankful that our reception was a blast for everyone just what we wanted. Thanks to the band for learning our songs, and to you for helping us find them. I honestly can't say enough good things. What a great party and memorable night! We will recommend Horizon and Sam Hill to any and all friends looking to throw a fantastic party!

Almost immediately they had students up and dancing and before you knew it the dance floor was filled with alumni, faculty, staff and Dr. Ayers! I think we could have filled a dance floor three times as big as the 28x28 one we had. I cannot adequately express how much our guests enjoyed Horizon other than to say that the dance floor was filled from start to finish. Their easy spirit, enthusiasm and love of the art shine through with each performance. I will most definitely have them back to campus again, and again, and again.

We knew what to expect in terms of songs and style, but we definitely didn’t know that they would be so good at working the crowd and generally responding well to the vibe of the crowd. By the end of the night they had managed to get literally 100% of the attendees on the dancefloor something I’ve never seen at another wedding. They even got my grandmother and her 80 year old boyfriend dancing! All the band members were really chill to and really easy to talk to in between songs or on the side.
Seriously, they far exceeded any expectations I had of them. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to the band members.

You guys were great in helping us pick a band based on the criteria that we had specified. The brochures and CDs that you sent in the information packet were just what the doctor ordered during that chaotic time. It was nice to sit back and watch some clips of the bands that were auditioning for our big day. Your constant attention and focus on detail made everything go off without a hitch.
Horizon was off the hook! Lawrence and the whole band had been great leading up to the event in looking after our every desire. It was great to have Josh sing Amanda as the opener and then the rendition of Crazy that trumped the real thing. The reviews for the band have been incredible. I was amazed by the crowd out on the dance floor throughout the night. There were folks who I would never have pictured dancing shouting for the band to keep going. Horizon knows how to work a crowd, do doubt. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to celebrate in style!
Ours and our families' thanks go out to Horizon and to Sam Hill Bands for the best weekend of our lives.
Thanks again,
Jeff Galanti

Subject: Re: THANKS HORIZON FOR A FABULOUS NIGHT!!

We are finally back from our honeymoon in amazing Aruba and back to reality. We wish to express our gratitude to the Horizon band for a brilliant and energized performance for our June 9, 2007 wedding. EVERYONE and I mean everyone said that it was the best wedding reception that they've ever been too and I believe that you and the band deserve a lot of the credit. From the moment we asked you to play for us, we were confident that you would do an excellent job and you didn't let us down. The band performed impeccably and you guys have a great innate sense for what the people want and a great understanding of the audience. When we chose a band, our main concern was to make sure the dance floor was packed and that people were having a good time. Let me just say that you kept the dance floor packed and went above and beyond your duty. They songs were sung professionally and we loved your positive energy. You were just one more thing that we didn't have to worry about. Lawrence, you have also been great at communicating with my family our music needs and questions. I just want you to know that if we ever have another event, we will definitely use HORIZON and will highly recommend your band to everyone. Thanks so much for a fabulous night and please send our regards to the rest of the band! If you ever need a recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards,
Nancy and Robert Kimbrell

Hi Andy,
I've been meaning to email you since last Friday morning. HORIZON was 20 times better than I expected and I had pretty high expectations. They were absolutely perfect!
I honestly don't think in my 14+ years in the event business that I've ever worked with a band that listened to my requests and then delivered what I needed. From their song choice to the volume, HORIZON was definitely a Shining Star and I will absolutely hire them again...and again...and again!
On a scale from 110, I'd rate them a 15! Thanks so much for turning me on to them!
Best,

Horizon was terrific in all ways. They were very professional, very friendly and very good. When we arrived at the start of the party they were already set up and there to introduce themselves to me. They played until the bitter end of the party and were enjoyed by all.
Thank you for helping me provide such enjoyable entertainment that evening.

Dear Sam Hill,
My husband and I were married March 24th, 2007. The day was absolutely fantastic and went off without one hitch. One of the best things about the wedding was the band. Upon your recommendation and careful planning we booked the Horizon band, and have no regrets about this. From the cocktail hour until the last song, they were GREAT.
We would highly recommend this band to anyone who is looking for a high energy dance band. From the moment we got started people were up dancing. They literally were chanting for more, at the end of the reception. Almost 2 months after the wedding and my guest are still talking about it! If you would like to use us as a reference for this band, we would be more then willing to do that! We are SO happy with Sam Hill and with the HORIZON band!
Thanks
Mr. and Mrs. Neall

They were great. Just Great. They played some lowkey jazzy numbers while
folks ate dinner, moved into some motown oldies & swing type stuff early on,
and then really grooved latenight when all the old folks had gone to bed
and the younger set were spilling beer on the dance floor. Don't let the
photos fool you, the lead singer can belt them out... she's definitely got
soul.
They were also very professional, taking the initiative to call ahead of
time and ask if we had any special songs we wanted to be sure they had in
their repertoire, and discussing the song for the first dance. I must tell
you, in the chaos leading up to the wedding, we would have forgotten to have
this conversation if they hadn't taken the initiative. As a matter of fact,
they had to be persistent to catch me, and I really appreciated it. It was
a really nice touch of professionalism that we didn't expect from a wedding
band, and made my wife really comfortable during the lastminute what if
something goes wrong phase that you, too, will experience.
Again, great variety including swing, bebop, motown, disco, big sound with
the horns, terrific lead singer, great at reading the crowd, and capped off
with great professionalism.

Andy,
Humm...Where do I start? I can't say enough about Horizon. They were truely amazing and awsome! Those words don't even do them justice. They made my reception the best that it could be and more!! My husband and I stayed at the reception until the end and when Horizon stopped playing we wanted more and so did everyone else. I have never seen or heard a band as good as Horizon is. I have had many compliments on the band since I have been home from the honeymoon.
One of my bridesmaids actually booked Horizon before my wedding and we found out that we booked the same band through conversation. She was so excited that she was going to get to hear them before her wedding. I was just glad that I got to hear them again! My parents and my husband and I were there and we had a chance to talk to the band. They were very glad to see us and I was glad to see them! I can't get enough of them!
If you ever need any recommendations on Horizon please let me know. I will be more than happy to talk to anyone that needs info etc. I even told Lawrence if they wanted to make a video clip or anything promoting their band and needed someone to speak on behalf of them to let me know and I would do whatever it takes for them to get the word out about their band.
Thank you for your help in setting up the band for our wedding. They were truely the icing on the cake. You can't get any better than Horizon!
Thanks again,
Cori & Michael Duck

Hey! What a great time we had on November 6th. After a very beautiful ceremony with music of an organ, piano, trumpet, violinist and soloist we hit the reception with more music of 2 violinist and chello during cocktail hour and then.........................we had the time of our lives on the dance floor with Horizon!!
They kept us all on our feet and wanting to keep going!! Cori and her bridesmaids and myself with all of my 7 bridesmaids from 29 years ago had a blast!! As well as everyone else! The day and night could not really and truely been any better.
Thanks for your help and we look forward to dancing at one of Cori's bridesmaids wedding on Dec. 4 with the Horizon's again. Many have asked us the name of the band and loved them. They were wonderful to work with and very professional. The female singer was very nice in helping me with announcements etc.and Lawrence was very nice and reassuring me they would be just what we wanted!! Also, a fabulous horn section!! I will definitely reccommend this band for anyone wanting a great party with plenty of good dance music!! The bride and groom were very pleased and that's what counts.

Hi Andy! Sorry this has taken me so long to write, but I just wanted to say
a HUGE thankyou for all that you did for us to get a band for our August
16th reception.
Horizon was absolutely wonderful. Lawrence was so nice to work with and the
band was perfect. I was worried about whether they would be too loud for
our site, but it was just right. They really judged the crowd well and knew
what to play when. People wanted to dance so badly that we didn't even get
around to all the tables before they started hitting the dance floor! When
the reception was over, nobody wanted to leave. I have heard many
compliments that this was the best band people had ever heard at a wedding.
I have been recommending that people call you when they are looking for a
band every time I get the chance. Thank you for all of your help and for
recommending such a great band! By the way they did an awesome job for
the 2 songs they learned for us as well.
If there is any question as to whether we had fun and liked the band or
not I have attached a picture. For the record they INVITED us up
there...
Thanks again!

Kate and I were so pleased with Lawrence and the rest of the Horizon crew. We had such a great time at the wedding reception. The song selection was great, and the band was very tight. Everyone worked up a sweat grooving to the nice Motown, Disco, and Funk. We didn't have too many slow songs in our list (by design) but the band pulled off some slow ones magnificently. I think everyone wanted the band to play even longer! My uncle even received some bass guitar advice from Lawrence as he is in a band in Scotland and just purchased a different bass.
All in all, it was fantastic! If you need Kate or me to give a reference please don't hestitate!

Hi Andy!
I've been meaning to get in touch with you, but like you said, just settling in. We're not going on a honeymoon until August, so we've been adjusting the after the wedding reality. I put so much stuff on hold! : )
I did email the band the very next day to tell them how thankful we were to not only have their great entertainment, but also some of Lawrence's counceling. He was so funny and cool. We'd been emailing some right before the wedding and he detected some of my wedding jitters, so gave me some good advice. Also, because we were pretty much planning the whole thing ourselves, he was particularly flexible and helpful with that part. I told him he was going above and beyond what he had to do . . . hence the name Horizon. : ) They were all so nice!
I really appreciate your and Katie's help, too. It's not often you could do a search on the internet and get such great service and quality entertainment. I've been telling people all about the website and how the quality of it, and then the quality of your service was what basically allowed me to trust getting a band without actually seeing and hearing them live first. I still can't believe they came all the way from VA for us!

Hi Andy,
While I don't have time to write a lengthy email, suffice to say that Horizon was quite good. No, that's an understatement they ROCKED! We had many compliments from our guests, including people who had traveled to Wintergreen from hubs of excellent music like Chicago and NYC, so that is saying something. They did well reading the crowd, slow music over dinner, big band music early on for the older adults, and then they rocked the house in the wee hours of the morning for the hangeron, twenty to thirtysomething crowd. Excellent all around!
Thanks so much for giving such an honest assessment of each group presented to us, we had to pick them sight unseen based on a handful of demos and your familiarity was helpful. Please pass the praise on to the band.
Thanks again.

What a wonderful, wonderful band. They made the wedding!!!!!!! If I were to elaborate it would take pages and pages. You all and Lawrence were, without a doubt, the most professional and competent of all of our vendors. Not even a blink of a problem. This says volumes considering the bride lives in CO. Mom lives in FL and the wedding MD and if I am correct the band VA. EVERYTHING they did was beyond words and even the famous Cheasapeake Bay Beach Club came up to me after and asked for their information as it was the best band that ever played there!!.
