From: betsy lehman Date: Tue, Oct 22, 2019 at 9:01 PM Subject: Re: Horizon To: Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment 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! Betsy

When they started to play everyone got up and continued to dance. Comments from our friends and Mollie/ Rob's friends included-great 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! Mark Wilson

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.

We cannot even begin to explain to you how blown away we were with Horizon. They were so friendly and accommodating and literally did not stop until midnight. We had so many people come over to us throughout the night and the next day telling us that they were the best wedding band they've ever heard. They played the best songs - we had SO much fun and it wouldn't have been the same night without them. We'd love to send Lawrence and the team a thank you note if you could provide the best mailing address when you have a moment? Thank you again for all of your help! Rachel

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 dad--They executed, and I so treasure them creating that moment for us. They let my sister, a musician, drum for one song--another 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

They also were accommodating when the exit plan my daughter had in place fell through and they played the horns parade style with the wedding guests following behind them. They made the end as fun as the rest of the event! Our family is very grateful. Thank you, Margaret Browning

5-star review on TheKnot.com posted 11/09/2017 "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!"

Working with Sam Hill Bands was effortless and made this experience flawless. 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. Brian Janecek

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!! Gary Cole father of the bride

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 60-year-old 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. Patty O'Brien (Mother of the Bride) P.S My husband was astounded that the person singing MY WISH for the father daughter dance sounded just like Rascal Flatts!

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 son-in-law's Reception so very special and memorable. Thank you much! Chip Shytle

Our photographer, Will Walker, who does an "At First Glance" on his blog mentioned Horizon and how packed the dance floor was in his short blurb about the most memorable parts of the wedding. My now husband, Chris, talked to Lawrence the week of and he was very accommodating for our first dance. 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! I will leave a great review on The Knot when we're back from our honeymoon. Cheers from the French Riveria! Carolyn

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. Gayle Rasberry Raleigh, NC

There were 200 people on the dance floor from the minute they started until they stopped. More importantly, they're just a great group of people. Lawrence was wonderful to work with. There energy level and song sets were perfect. They were very easy to work with in learning a new song. I think we challenged them and they responded. 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. Thanks for recommending them! Joe DeGiorgi

They were extremely professional and fun and it was a very easy process working with them. It was nice to have one less thing to stress about while wedding planning. Thanks for everything, Sarah

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. Lana

When they were playing, not a single person was in their seats. We received high praise for the band from just about everyone we saw during and after the wedding, and our impression was equally as good. We couldn't be happier with their performance.

They did everything we expected and more so very well. 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 20-30 somethings were so inspired by them that most leapt/danced around nearly without a break beginning to end! Thank you for help in the arrangements. Paul Colopy

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!!

In short, Horizon fulfilled all of our wedding band expectations and more. 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! Best, Ike & Mary Helen Johnston

Horizon did a great job and followed up on specific requests from Courtney and my wife, Vanna. We had a lot of fun at the reception, and it was partly due to the band. By the end of the night, everyone was either dancing are watching the dancing. The Earth, Wind, & Fire encore was perfect. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback on Horizon. Hopefully, it will lead to more work for them. Lawrence was very nice to deal with face-to-face and on the phone. Thanks again! Sandy

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. thanks, Karly Kaplan and Jim Sink

One of my friends who is a huge music fan in Los Angeles, said they were one of the best bands he has ever seen. 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. All the best, Megan Gallacher Wells

We heard many compliments, the dancefloor was full and the band seemed to captivate everyone at some point throughout the night! I personally thought the selection of music was very well thought out and enjoyed by all.

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. In short, we could not have been happier with our choice and will certainly recommend you and the band to anyone who inquires.

We ended up adding an extra hour onto the contract and the band was great about that. 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 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 - 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.

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

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, Greg

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. All the best, Jane Wells

I have never seen a response from our membership quite like we had last night. The band, especially Lawrence, was an absolute pleasure to work with and complete professionals throughout the event. They really are special and I would be most happy to recommend them to anyone in the future. I know that they will be a the top of our list for future events. I am looking forward to a lot of future successes and I will talk to you soon, Doug Levy Food and Beverage Director Army Navy Country Club
Dear Andy, Thank you so much for your help in choosing Horizon for our wedding reception. We were extremely happy with the performance. We received lots of compliments as they were perfect for the occasion. We definitely plan to recommend them and you to friends planning other events in the future in the Richmond area. Again, many thanks for helping us with our wedding entertainment! Best regards, Lizzie & Alex Holtan

Everyone had a fabulous time and we’ve received so many complements from people from every age group. 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 dinner-type music and when to mix it up a bit, and by the end of the evening they were “bringing the house down”. My out-of-town 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! Sincerely, Elizabeth Dodson

Trust me, we will be recommending them to anyone who is looking for a band. Their music was very crisp, they were all great singers, and made the wedding one hell of a party!

Horizon made our wedding reception! Choosing them was one of the best decisions Jarratt and I made, while planning the wedding. ALL our guests ranted and raved about them, several of them interested in booking them for future events. Thanks so much for all of your help, your guidance pushed us in the right direction- it’s a night our friends and family along with Jarratt and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Best, Emily

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! Thanks, Leigh and Matt Eckert

We had the party of all parties Friday night with Horizon! They are amazing. They look, sound and perform like the true professionals they are. 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. Thanks so much!

They definitely rocked the house on our wedding night. 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. -Brian Maisano

I have never seen so many people dancing at a wedding. I had put in a request to Lawrence that Horizon perform "Shout", and it was performed to a T! It was obvious to me that all of Horizon loves to perform. I knew that we were in for a night of great music when Barb belted out the lyrics to "At Last" in fine fashion during our first dance. The whole band looked very polished and well dressed; they had so much energy! We have gotten so many complements on how fun the wedding was and awesome the band was. People were really sad when the band had to take a break! A lot of friends and family asked how we found them.

My father said he had never seen my great uncle dance in his life until that night and he danced with my mom, my mother in law, and who knows who else!

I can't think of anyone that I would rather have helping me out in selecting tunes for my wedding than you and Sam Hill Bands. 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

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.

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!

From: Stephen.F.Gray Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 9:26 AM Subject: RE: Sam Hill Entertainment - Horizon References They were great. Just Great. They played some low-key jazzy numbers while folks ate dinner, moved into some motown oldies & swing type stuff early on, and then really grooved late-night 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 last-minute "what if something goes wrong" phase that you, too, will experience. Again, great variety including swing, be-bop, motown, disco, big sound with the horns, terrific lead singer, great at reading the crowd, and capped off with great professionalism. Steve Gray

Sorry this has taken me so long to write, but I just wanted to say a HUGE thank-you 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.

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!

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! Kelly

We only heard great things from everyone about them. They really got everybody up and dancing all night and even played a few encores. A very impressive performance.

They rocked and they really read the mood... The horns were something else, and the singers were terrific. We had a great party thanks to Horizon ! Steve Gray

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 hanger-on, twenty to thirty-something 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. Debbie L. Green

Everyone loved them and they were wonderful about following the "instructions" that my daughter gave to them.

Please pass out thanks and appreciation on to Lawrence and the rest of the band members. You may certainly use us as a reference. I will be more than pleased to recommend both Sam Hill and Horizon to anyone who needs entertainment! Pam Westcott

They played a ton of music, all songs that we liked and the song they learned for us (livin on a prayer) was amazing. They were a tremendous recommendation! It couldn't have gone any better. Thanks for everything, Sean and Kim

Much more info will come to you all when the bride and groom return from their honeymoon , but for now from the parents of the bride .... "We can not thank-you enough!!!!!!!" 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!!. More to follow but again, a million thanks and please pass on to Lawrence and the group. Barrie and Mike Kamen

We had an excellent time at the wedding and Horizon was fantastic. I was very impressed by them. They had great energy and were professional. Their music got everyone out on the dance floor - which was exactly what I wanted at our reception! I really couldn't have been happier with our selection for the band. I've gotten a lot of compliments about Horizon from people that came to our wedding. Thanks so much for helping with the selection! Take care, Rachel

We had a fabulous wedding weekend and the honeymoon was more than we could dream of. Everything was great! We loved Horizon and have heard many many comments from wedding guests...everyone loved them! They had the dance floor packed ALL night long...it was amazing! They got everyone dancing and I know for a fact, everyone had a great time! Even my 89 year old grandmother had the time of her life on the dance floor. They were wonderful and really made our reception one people won't forget! They were great! Thanks for all of your help! Liz

From: Nicola Pace Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:24 AM To: Andy Jaspen @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: Horizon follow up Hi Andy, Thanks for the follow up email and good wishes. The band was wonderful! The whole evening went by so quickly though, it's hard to remember all the details. Everyone seemed to love Horizon - Steve and I in particular. We've had many great compliments on the band since returning from our mini-honeymoon last Wednesday (the real honeymoon in Italy is later next month!) and will definitely recommend them in the future to friends & colleagues. Not only did they sound terrific, they were a pleasure to talk to and to work with. So much so that Steve and I are already trying to think of an excuse to have another party so we can get them to play again! Thank you for all of your help finding the perfect music for our reception. I can't wait to see the video and re-live the whole experience! Your company came on a recommendation from a friend (Christine Gilbert-Wilson) and we will surely do the same by recommending you to others whenever the opportunity comes up. All the best, Nicola & Steve Pace

We are still talking about how awesome Horizon was! They were absolutely perfect for what we wanted and they were even better than we could have imangined. There was not a single person not dancing at some point during the night and everyone had a blast. We will definitlely be recommending Horizon and Sam Hill Entertainment to all of our friends, although we had tons of people asking that night who they were and how we found them. We really appreciate all your help deciding because we made the absolute best choice!! Thanks again for everything and thanks to Horizon, they rock!! Crystal Matejcek
