Hi Andrew,
The band was amazing. We were blown away by their talent and energy. We had a lot of live music lovers in the audience and everyone was impressed. We danced the entire time and they made the night so special. All of our guests have commented on how great The New Royals were and asked us how we found such an amazing band. They were fun and interactive and kept the night going. They stopped by our after party for some late night snacks and we loved connecting with them on a personal level. They were all really lovely and we wish we could relive that night over and over! We will definitely recommend the band to our network!
Thank you,
Julie

Hi Andrew!
I have to say, booking The New Royals was the best decision we ever made!!! They were AMAZINGGGGG! I can’t say enough good things about them. They played amazing songs that got the guests dancing all night and the energy was on fire! I didn’t want to leave the dancefloor all night. There wasn’t a guest who didn’t compliment the band and say it was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. My friend said she wanted to book them for her wedding, and another friend said she felt like she was at a live concert!
Seriously I wish I could re live the night over and over again and a lot of it has to do with The New Royals! THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything!!!
Thanks for making our wedding unforgettable!

The band was amazing! Definitely the most fun wedding I’ve ever been too (might be a little biased since it was my wedding lol). But we have gotten great feedback from all of the guests saying that was the best wedding they have ever attended.
The band was respectful, professional, and put on one heck of a show! I wish we could repeat that night every weekend!

Hi Andrew,
Our experience with the New Royals was incredible! I think this is the part of the wedding we researched the most, and definitely what we were most apprehensive about since it's so hard to tell what a band is like if you haven't seen them in person. I'm so glad we found you guys! The band made for such a fun, festive atmosphere, and had everybody up dancing. We've received so many compliments on the band in the last few weeks.
Thanks so much again for all your help it was so easy and far exceeded our expectations!

This is Joel, Brittany’s husband. The band was UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE. Worth every penny and some. I’ve been to many weddings in my life and this was the only one where no one left the dance floor. The New Royals should be touring the country and sharing their talent.
12/10.
We are STILL getting messages from guests and they’re #1 comment is how incredible the band was.
I hope to see them on the big stage one day. Much deserved.
Thanks again for everything. We couldn’t be happier.

Apologies for my delay in this response. It is hard to come out of the afterglow from our wedding and back into the real world!!
The New Royals were AMAZING. From the moment they started, to the very last song, the dance floor was PACKED. As the Bride, I didn’t leave the dance floor once they started and could not stop dancing. Josh especially made Russell and I feel special creating small moments for us and entertaining the room. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the band was and I am still hearing about them today.
They were incredible, talented, read the room flawlessly and kept the dance floor full, which was exactly what we wanted. I have nothing but incredible things to say about them.
Thanks for everything and I will post a review now :)

Working with Sam Hill was also great no complaints there. Overall, we had a great experience.

Hi Justin,
Apologies for this very delayed response! Everything was a whirlwind after the wedding.
We ABSOLUTELY LOVED The New Royals from our early days working leading up to the wedding to the actual day of experience. They were so professional in all our prewedding interactions and Tyler even had the opportunity to meet Josh 2 months before our wedding date as they were performing at a March wedding on Daufuskie Island. Josh shared with Tyler that it was great they had a chance to iron out all the 'island logistics' kinks during that wedding and that they'd be prepared and prepped for our wedding in May.
The day of the wedding, the band was absolutely amazing! The actual music, energy levels, and their ability to rile up a crowd were all superb. We had several wedding guests comment on how great they were and what a performance it was people said they felt like they were at a real concert! I think the on stage chemistry between Josh and Angelica really stood out!
Thanks again for everything and we'll certainly pass along The New Royals to our friends and family going forward!
Best,
Katie

Thanks for reaching out. The band was unbelievably good, we couldn't be happier with their performance. Many of our guests were from out of town and raved about the music played and how good they were. People loved Josh and Angelica, the dance floor was full all night.
Personally I couldn't have pictured it going any better. They played all the songs we wanted to hear and even learned a few for us. Our venue The Estate was also very happy with them and in speaking with them again yesterday said they would be recommending them for future events. Everyone at Sam Hill was also very responsive and easy to work with. When I get some time later today I will write a review on The Knot. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Hey Andrew,
I am happy to report that we were EXTREMELY pleased with the band. Everything Ryan told us on the call was 100% accurate – they were very professional, talented, and had a great feel for the audience and what they were playing to. We have had nothing but great reviews which we can personally echo. One guest even commented “this is the first wedding band I’ve seen that I would pay to see them in concert!”. The first dance and special request to parlay into the MOG happy birthday song was executed beautifully. Additionally, Josh was a fantastic emcee; he managed to keep it professional while still bringing high energy to “get the people going”! Angelica had the voice of an angel, and all around both were extremely versatile. One of the guests (a drummer) even commented that his chops were on point! I should also mention the pianist at the cocktail hour (and reception) did a fantastic job, we were very pleased with his song selection and performance. Overall this was easily a 5 star performance – our only complaint is that we didn’t want it to end!!
Furthermore, the Sam Hill Entertainment family was a true pleasure to accommodate our needs. I know that logistics of Daufuskie Island certainly complicate things, and everyone took it in stride. You had great follow through and kept open lines of communication. We also had a lot of moving pieces as I’m sure all weddings do, but the professionalism you maintained and assurance helped keep us grounded so we could focus on the moment. The best part is – you delivered, and we would be more than happy to recommend you to any prospective clients. We will certainly keep you in mind for future events and will gladly recommend. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our special day even that much more memorable!!

I wanted to take the time to praise The New Royals (feat. Josh & Angelica). Truly, the band made our wedding! As the bride, when I dreamt of the entertainment at our event, I never in my wildest dreams could have envisioned the overthetop experience we were blessed with. Saying that The New Royals are SO incredibly talented is a true understatement. They played ALL genres flawlessly, executed our timeline precisely, and were so gracious, kind, and fun! Even more, they learned a new song for our first dance and allowed one of our talented groomsman to sing as they played! It was the sweetest sentiment that was played perfectly! Our friends and family had the BEST time and have raved over the band, even weeks later! I cannot say enough good about The New Royals and I pray that we get to hire them again in the future!

Hey Beth,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this. After the wedding we went on our honeymoon and since we've been back we've slowly been getting back to reality and getting caught up on things.
That aside, simply put, the New Royals were unbelievably phenomenal! Admittedly, the band was probably our biggest question mark heading into the wedding day. Even though we really liked their promo videos, it's tough to know what they will be like in person. Will they emcee the evening the way we want? Will their playlist be good? Will they keep our guests dancing? Etc. Needless to say, they FAR exceeded any and all of our expectations!
The entire process leading up to the wedding was very smooth. We worked with April and she did a great job serving as the liaison between us and the band. A few weeks before the wedding she helped me coordinate a little surprise for Ashley. I wanted the band to learn one of our favorite songs to play at some point throughout the night and not only were they happen to do it but even on short notice they totally nailed it! Ashley nearly lost her mind when they started playing that song!
The wedding day went very smooth as well, at least as much as we know. They knew ahead of time that the room flip was going be a little bit of a challenge but that all seemed to work out fine. Josh did a great job emceeing and then once they started playing, we loved every second of it.
Their playlist was perfectwe intentionally left them in control of thatand the amount of energy they brought was unreal! We couldn't believe that they were able to keep almost all of our guests up on the dance floor all night long. As amazing as our wedding was, the band might have been the best part of it. They were so good! Almost three weeks later people are still telling us how good the band was.
One final thought, and this is a true story, I have a twin sister and she and her nowhusband got married at the New York Botanical Garden up in NYC a few years ago. I'm originally from NY. Their wedding was also amazing and they too had a great band. Nine piece band, tons of energy, great playlist, the works. At the end of our wedding, my sister went up to Josh and said to him, You guys were so good I want to have my wedding again so that you guys can play it!
Thank you again for everything! The New Royals and Sam Hill were both a pleasure to work with and if any of your future clients are in search of a band for their wedding or event, I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these guys. If you ever need, we would be glad to pass along our review of them.

Hi Mike and Ryan,
I just wanted to reach out apart from the group thank you that I sent and let you know that The New Royals killed it yesterday!!!! They were not only on time, but early, incredibly professional, personable and such great performers. I have been doing this for almost 10 years and they were the best band that I have ever worked with. The guests LOVED their music and stage presence and even some of the vendor team stopped and watched them perform for a while. Sometimes I have to do a little hand holding with entertainment and that was not at all the case last night. They were on point. I would love to work with you and the band again, and moving forward whenever they are available, they will definitely be on my recommended vendor list. Worth every penny and then some.
If you could please make sure each member gets another thank you from the team at Amanda Rose Weddings that would be awesome. We look forward to hosting them again soon on Hilton Head!
Happy Planning!!

Thanks so much for checking in and I apologize for the delayed response. Getting back in the groove after your daughter's wedding took a bit longer than expected : )
We could not have been happier with The New Royals! From the very first time Meredith & I listened to their demo, they were our first choice. They looked great, sounded great and worked the crowd perfectly. As mother of the bride, my only request was that they play music all generations would enjoy and they absolutely did. I don't think the dance floor was ever empty.
With the help of our amazing event planner, the entire staff at Georgian Hall, as well as you all and The New Royals, I don't think there is one thing about that night that I would change.
I have already given your info and TNR's to a friend whose son is getting married in Atlanta later in the year. I'd also be more than happy to write a review.

Dear Andrew,
What a wonderful wedding we had! The weather was great, the bride and groom were happy and the band was amazing! The New Royals were professional, fun and so talented. As you know, a band or DJ can make or break a wedding reception. Well, they were the icing on the cake. This dance floor never emptied the whole night. The lead singer interacted with the bride and groom and guests and kept the energy high. Prior to the wedding, the groom requested that the band learn the song “Can’t take my eyes off of you” so that he could sing this to his bride. This was the most special moment of the night. Andre surprised Melanie with this song (and he can really sing) and the guests are still talking about how special this moment was.
Our event planners, Cibi Events had told us many times through the planning process how easy and professional the New Royals and Sam Hill Entertainment was to work with. Thank you for making our wedding and reception one that was perfect in every way.
We will certainly recommend this band with pleasure.

Impressed doesn’t even begin to cover how we feel. Everything was beyond amazing. The New Royals were NEXT LEVEL. People are still texting us about them! They want us to have an anniversary party in a couple years and get them again. I think it needs to happen, so you will be hearing from me in the future!
They were incredibly kind, appreciative, and personal when they were off stage. Once they were on stage, they were the most charismatic, high energy, talented, and FUN bands I’ve ever heard. Actually the were the BEST band I’ve ever heard.
Our venue has only had about 5 weddings and they have only worked with very small bands. They were super nervous because the smaller bands were difficult to work with, so when they saw how big the new royals were, they didn’t know what to expect. Well from the minute the band arrived to when they left, our coordinator kept telling us how wonderful they were. They were so easy and flexible and kind. (Again, best band ever!)
I always heard great things about Sam Hill, but now having experienced it, I have to say you all were one of the best vendors to work with. I will definitely will be leaving reviews and spreading the word!!
Thank you so much for everything!!

Hi Andrew,
We thought that The New Royals would be awesome, but they really blew us away. All night (and at brunch the next morning) our guests kept asking us where we found them and saying how wonderful they were! Many people said that it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding, and The New Royals really deserve the credit for that. The band played our first dance song (which they learned special for us) flawlessly and did a great job of reading the crowd and selecting the perfect song. The dance floor was packed all night long. Even the event manager of the venue raved to us about how wonderful they were (and took photos of the rocking crowd). Ryan was easy to work with in making the preparations, and the day went off without a hitch. We had a blast and would recommend The New Royals to anyone!
Best,
Meghan

Everything we DREAMED of for our daughter’s wedding. We all wanted a celebration and party we will remember forever and we got it. The dance floor was packed and full of energy and excitement the entire night. EVERYONE was talking about the band, the singers, the musicians, the music. There was special moment after special moment on the dance floor. We could not be happier. We talked about little else the next day. During the night all my friends and our guests kept coming up to me and saying “I cried during your toast to the bride and groom, your dance with your daughter was wonderful and WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT BAND THEY ARE INCREDIBLE.

Hi there, Beth!
Just wanted to shoot you an email with feedback like you requested. First off, the band was absolutely incredible. I had MANY MANY people asking who they were and commenting on how wonderful they were. We had a dance party going until the very end of the night. I'm going to be honest that I was so busy running around that I don't really remember what all the selection of music was, but based on the comments and the many snap stories I watched the next day, people LOVED them.
There is no doubt that I will use them again/refer them to other people if anyone ever needs a band. They were phenomenal. As for using Sam Hill on The Knot, it was great. I mean, I don't know how else I would have found the New Royals so I'm so grateful for that!
They were phenomenal. I wish I could have danced for longer, I would have kept them all night if I could because people LOVED them. Thank you so much for being a part of such a great company that coordinates such an amazing band. Everything was perfect and they truly made the wedding unforgettable for everyone!

This past October 28th saw one of our family's greatest moments, our daughter's wedding. A moment to be remember forever. Of course, holding it on the 14 and 15th floors of Ventanas in downtown Atlanta engulfed in glass with a full view of the Atlanta skyline helped. But, the New Royals took it to another level! The dance floor was packed all night. Never less than that! Even our 5 yr. old grand daugher took to the floor, along with other children her age. She even took the mic at intermission and tried to mimic the Royals. People of all ages commented it was the BEST of all bands heard at a wedding. Indeed, they were truly awesome. offering a wide range of music, something for everyone, including all allcaptivating SWEET HOME ALABAMA to include Georgia fans.

Hi Beth!
Still basking in the glow of our fairytale princess wedding! Honestly, it was perfect and I would not change a thing. The New Royals were great sports about being crammed into a corner without a stage, and having to turn it down a bit due to the polished concrete floors and booming acoustics. They were just as awesome as they were last year. They are so skilled at judging a crowd and playing the perfect combination of songs that gets everyone on the dance floor. After dinner, a shuttle full of older and notsofun folks left early, saying the band was great, but too loud. Robbie asked them to turn it down a notch, which they did, and the rest of us danced until their last number! Katie and Jack will be back from their honeymoon after Thanksgiving, so I will let them do all of the social media praise and reviews...but you are welcome to quote me anytime in my own praise of The New Royals. In the past 18 months, we have been to big, fancy weddings at the Ritz in Buckhead, the St. Regis, the Estate, the Ritz at Lake Oconee and The Sculpture Garden in New Orleans. Not one of their bands engaged the crowd more or sounded better than “our” New Royals. Bravo!!!

Hi Justin,
I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. The New Royals are definitely worth raving about. Once I have pictures back from this wedding, it’ll be going up on the Ashley Rae Events blog, and I will be more than happy to link to your info.
Everyone in the band was a pleasure to work with. They were on time, well prepared, and knew how to keep a crowd engaged. Not to mention, they were all incredibly talented singers and musicians. My couple wanted their reception to be an “elegant party” and it was certainly that! The band performed love songs all through dinner, creating a wonderful atmosphere. And when the dance floor opened, there wasn’t a spare inch to be found on it – the band absolutely packed it! The band leaders never missed a cue and were constantly checking in to make sure everything was going well from my end – which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend The New Royals for any event!
All the best,

Our entire wedding weekend was amazing and was capped off by an incredible experience with The New Royals! They were op top of the timeline to the last detail, first dance requests, etc. then blew us away with an amazing dance party to end the night!! We loved their sound and song choices...they are very talented and wouldn't hesitate to book them again if the need arises!
Coincidentally, one of Ben's groomsmen had booked The New Royals for his wedding next April before knowing they were playing for us! They got a great preview Saturday night and are thrilled!
Working with Sam Hill was really great...so attentive to detail and making sure everyone was on the same page. The level of communication was impressive and helpful!
Couldn't imagine a better experience!

It felt like we were at a concert instead of wedding:) They were very entertaining and brought a lot of energy to our crowd.
At one point the female vocal (not sure of her name) and the guitarist allowed our flower girl and ring bearer on the stage to sing and play the guitar with them. The kids are still talking about it, highlight of their night!
Also, on one of the breaks the female vocal came out and danced with us instead of taking her break, that meant so much to us. Fun times! I could go on and on about our wonderful experience with The New Royals!
Our wedding planner suggested The New Royals, said it is her favorite band! I can see why, because they were an awesome band:)

Hi Andrew,
I don't even know where to begin regarding our amazing experience with The New Royals. Starting with the initial email interaction, Ryan was extremely professional, responsive, informative, and flexible throughout all of our communication. He answered all of our questions efficiently, and was just a pleasure to work with. Our dayofcoordinator, Meagan Tomlin with Harvest Moon Catering, also expressed gratitude for and was impressed by her interactions with him. As far as The New Royals as a whole, Nick and I could not have imagined a better experience. This band was exactly what we were looking for when we envisioned the look, feel, and sound for our wedding. Every member of the band was interactive, energetic, extremely talented, entertaining, NICE, and respectful to all of our guests and other vendors! We appreciated the band arriving earlier than usual to sound test and ensure the experience was going to be amazing at our completely outdoor venue. I also personally appreciate their flexibility when we were changing a few things about the playlist up until the very last minute. I even forgot to put two members of our wedding party into the introductions, and they added them in, with help from Meagan, without a single hiccup or question. Their attentiveness to each guest as we were all dancing was truly memorable. As the wedding couple, I felt The New Royals did an excellent job making Nick and I feel special and honored, but what really stood out to me was when the lead singers would interact with our other guests and make THEM feel special or in the spotlight. Their song choices were perfect, and I would estimate 90% of our guests were on the dance floor for a majority of the evening. It's those types of things that truly made this band stand out and I cannot sing their praises enough.
Truly and simply, we would not have changed a single thing about The New Royals or their performance on the greatest day of our lives! We cannot recommend them, or Sam Hill enough and I will certainly be sending positive reviews on all wedding media sites, including The Knot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Regards,
Nick and Jenna Marrone

Hi Andrew,
The New Royals were everything we hoped for and so much more. We were truly blown away. They lived up to our expectations and then some. They were FANTASTIC. All of our guests raved about how fun, interactive and talented they were. Everyone we have talked to since Saturday has said it was the BEST, most fun wedding they have ever been to, and we definitely have The New Royals to thank. They fulfilled all of our requests and knew exactly what to play to get everyone out on the dance floor. They nailed our first dance with a beautiful duet to Say You Won't Let Go (which you would never know they learned just for us), and we can't wait to play everything back once we get our wedding video.
The reason we chose The New Royals is how interactive and fun they seemed in the promotion videos. I'm not sure the reviews and promotion videos do them justice, which is really saying a lot. The lead male singer even got down in the crowd with us and taught us a new line dance to go along with one of the songs. By the end of the night, they pulled us up on stage for the final song, which was so fun. At the end of it all, our friends were chanting One more song! One more song! Nobody wanted to leave. Thank you so much, to all of you, for making it a night we will never forget!
Ryan Marston, our client services manager, made all of the coordination and planning effortless from the very start. Andrew, you were also so great to work with before we got turned over to the band. We cannot thank you all enough.

They were the most talented, lovely, and wonderful group of musicians I have ever met (not that I know very many musicians, but still!). For that reason, we have been meaning to write a GLOWING review on The Knot (etc.) and send you photos from of our photographer... but both Daniel and I have been very busy with work. However, within the next week or so we should have some time to work on those things. Just wanted to give you a quick update!

Saturday night (the entire weekend, rather) was one of the best nights of our lives. The New Royals were UNBELIEVABLE! They kept the party alive and truly made the night the high energy party that it was. Not only did they create a fun atmosphere, but their talent is out of this world. I was blown away by their voices and music especially for the Farher Daughter dance to 'Unforgettable' as a duet.
I have never seen so many people on a dance floor! I have gotten what seems like a million compliments on the band and have shared their name to several people. One of my bridesmaids looked at me and said Gann, I can't even eat my food there isn't even a break long enough between songs for me to eat a single bite! EVERYONE was dancing, everyone was singing, and there were bright smiles on everyone's face including myself and joe. We didn't want our reception to end and that is 100% attributable to the New Royals!
Thank you SO much for being so accommodating and wonderful. Please share this message with the band! I hope to see them again at MANY more weddings!

Gann

Hi Beth,
Wow! The New Royals were over the top!!!!
You definitely did not overestimate this band. It was a almost year ago when we made the choice and all that goes with it.
I totally get the testimonials. I'm Sure Gann will gladly be willing to vouch if you have other prospects they would like her opinion. She could not have been happier.
December of '15, we attended a wedding in New Orleans and got all hyped about that band they had. We wanted to try to meet the standard they set. Well her sister of that bride was one of Gann's bridesmaids, and on the verge of being engaged. She emphatically told me they surpassed her sisters band and had to have them for her wedding at all costs!
My cousin from Pensacola took down all their contact info and she's all fired up about getting them set up at some party somewhere.
Our guests raved about them.
All the wedding events went off flawlessly. Just wanted you to know and thanks for everything.

Thank you so much for all of your help getting things set up and if there is anywhere you would like me to leave a review for them I would be more than happy too :)

Andrew,
Please send my thanks to The New Royals for providing an unbelievable show on an unbelievable night. As stated by almost everyone at the wedding, The New Royals were easily the best band I have ever seen at a wedding. I've traditionally attended what seemed like almost 7 weddings a year for the past 10 years, and I don't believe I've seen or experienced a group like the New Royals. I know of some weddings coming up for friends and family and will surely recommend TNR!
I hope to work with you all again for future events. They made a unforgettable night that much better!
Thanks,
John Craighill

Hi Andrew,
Thanks so much! Everything was great with The New Royalsthey were incredible and energetic and made our wedding reception super fun and memorable. Many of our guests remarked that they were the best wedding band they'd ever heard.
It was very easy working with you and everyone at Sam Hill, and the band was also super easy to work with. They were professional, nice, on time, set up all of our A/V needs, and did an amazing job learning our three first dance songs.
We can't say enough good things about the band!
Thanks again!

Justin,
Thanks for reaching out. The band was all around amazing! We had a ton of complements from our guests. They kept the crowd going the whole time, and the songs they played were perfect. When I met the band in the morning, I was in full wedding freak out mode, and they were the coolest and calmest people I've ever met. Really helped to relieve some stress. They also accommodated every request throughout the night. One suggestion would be to update their song list on your website. They played a lot of wonderful songs that weren't on the song list! I will definitely write a great review on The Knot. If you could send the link that would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
I feel certain Katie will be in touch after they return from the honeymoon but I want to pass on our thanks. Gary, her dad, and I could not be happier with the band. From the moment, the music started, the guests were fully engaged in the energy of the band. Everyone, young and old was on the dance floor. I especially loved the way the vocalist went out into the crowd and raised the level of fun once again.
My husband and I keep talking about how smoothly the music transitioned to an even livelier level once the older guests headed home. The dance floor was completely filled with our younger guests having an incredible time. ( I even spotted cartwheels and it was from one of the nondrinkers.) To top it off, the final song in tribute to Prince could not have been more perfect. It capped the evening off flawlessly.
Many, many of our guests asked where Katie found you. We all will be singing the New Royals' praises for a long time.
Sincerely,
Sandy Wright

I was so impressed with the New Royals! What a bunch of nice folks, terrific musicians and singers. We didn't get enough time with them due to activities thrown in but the times they were playing, we had loads of fun on the dance floor. We appreciate their responses to our request and the time they took to set up, tear down and bring the party! Thanks so much for helping us through the process and I would highly recommend the New Royals to anyone looking for a fun and talented reception band.

Hi Beth! Sorry for the delayed response, I just got home from my honeymoon.
The New Royals were truly incredible and 100% the highlight of the night. Everyone was raving about them (including me!) and saying they were so fun. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night because of them, and that is exactly what I hoped would happen! I really hope I go to another wedding where they are playing because they are truly the best band I've ever heard at a wedding and so many guests were saying the same thing.
You and Annie, also, were a pleasure to work with and so organized and prompt in responding! Will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know getting married!
Thank you so much!

I cannot tell you how PHENOMENAL the New Royals were. They were really just amazing. The music was fantastic, their energy was off the charts, they were super flexible on many fronts, and they read the crowd perfectly and adjusted their show accordingly. We were thrilled, and I hope they had a good time, too. I would be absolutely shocked if more gigs don't come their way from some of the people who heard them last night.
Thank you again for all of your help. They were perfect and I don't have one negative thing to say.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions and I'll certainly pass along your info to anyone looking for a band, etc.
Thanks again,
Bragg

Wanted to make sure you knew how great the New Royals were at my daughters wedding this past weekend. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night having so much fun! They rocked it! Please pass on our thanks again to them. I would highly recommend them.
Guess it was meant to be from the start dealing with Sam Hill entertainment. Casey's uncle who was there name is Sam Hill, and there were two younger generations of Sam Hill's there!
It was a night we will always remember as crazy as it was with the rain but the party went on. Nothing was going to rain on their parade!

The New Royals played for my sister’s wedding on 10/17 in Virginia Beach and they were absolutely PHENOMENAL! By far the best band I have ever heard. They would come out in the crowd to dance with us (and even have a dance off!) and sang all of the best songs. We were so pleased with them. And all of our guests asked for their band name because they were all in love. We’d recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much for making the wedding one to remember!

The band was outstanding. They complimented the ceremony very well. We had so many guests express how much they enjoyed the band. I believe one of our guests, recently engaged, have already inquired about TNR for their wedding. The songs they learned for us were excellent, and the dance floor was packed all night!
Thank you.

Hi Beth –
We had an absolutely fantastic time! Our wedding was everything we wanted. We had high expectations for the band since we’d had ATown AList at my sister’s wedding, 2 sisterinlaws, and 2 friend’s weddings. We were huge ATown AList fans but now we can easily call ourselves HUGE fans of The New Royals. We LOVED them! Our first dance, fatherdaughter dance, and groommother dance sung live were fantastic. The jazzy dinner music was soothing and a blast to listen to. The party music was incredible. The energy the band brought to the night was all we could have asked for. My family and friends danced the night away and every single person told me how incredible the band was. Everyone tells you your wedding goes by soooo fast and to enjoy every moment and slow it down. We tried to walk to each table to see everyone that had made it out for our wedding but half way through we ended up on the dance floor and never left. If our friends and family wanted to see us they had to join in on the dance party. I cannot wait to see the pictures and video of the night.
I would recommend The New Royals to anyone inquiring for a wedding band. With that being said, my sister Eliza plans to book them for her wedding in March. Our family will continue to support these two bands because they have made every wedding a memorable one.
Thanks so so much,
Caitlin

I mean seriously.... where do I even begin?!?
I am not joking when I say that the theme of the night was New Royals, more like New Favorites
By far, the communication was one of the most seamless I have ever had with a band before. They were great about responding to the timeline when I reached out to them (also helps that Annie and Ryan are truly incredible people to work with). They were on top of everything! They knew what was expected at the correct times; they were quick to talk through any event or change of plans if we needed to extend time or swap around the bouquet toss... etc. I was incredibly blown away by how on top of it they were!!
Their performance was flawless. Seriously, flawless. Their systems were ready to go, they came perfectly dressed and prepared, and their music flowed perfectly. They covered each of my bride's personal song requests easily and without hesitation. They catered the evening to exactly what the bride and groom wanted! Their energy was insane! Bouncing through the crowd, gathering guests to come onto the dance floor, encouraging people to sing along! They made the whole crowd interactive and in tune with their music. I have NEVER seen that before! I was awed and amazed by their ability to really entertain such a generational span of guests!
They were so kind and friendly to everyone they interacted with. Not only were they the most handsome bunch of band members I have seen (my interns were swooning with little girl crushes) but clearly they are young and yet they handled everything so maturely and professionally! Even up until the end of the night, after I knew they were exhausted from playing so hard, they made it a point to go up and say goodbye to EVERYONE before they left...like what?! I have never seen such friendly and thoughtfulness!
Please let them know that they officially have a BIGGEST fan!
Cheers y'all!

Andrew,
Thanks for following up. I can’t tell you how pleased we were with The New Royals. They were fantastic! There were like 100 people on the dance floor until the end. The music, the musicians and everything associated with The New Royals was perfect. I have attended hundreds of functions over the years and I have to say they truly made the reception phenomenal. Not only were they extremely nice but, so talented. I must have had 50 people compliment me on the band. I’m sorry to go on and on but they were just the best and it “made the night” for us. When your daughter gets married, besides her getting a great husband, you want her to be happy. The New Royals were such a great part of that. When I set out to find a great band I only hoped I could find one like we ended up with. Bottom line they were spectacular. I hope we can find a reason soon to get them back to Mobile. Please tell them thanks again from us from Julie (Claire’s Mom) and me. Finally, thank you all for a great arrangement. It could not have gone any better.
Vance.

We were beyond pleased with The New Royals. They were fantastic! We had quite a few musicians at the reception and they all were super excited that the band, and each individual musician in the band, was so excellent musically. I wish I had a recording of all the comments—superlatives all the way. And we so appreciated their interaction with the guests. They interacted with us in such a fun way, but avoided going too far with that. I especially loved it when the female singer (sorry I don’t know her name) picked up on how much fun the girls were having singing along to her Beyonce song. It was a highlight!
So, well done to the band!!
We are happy to recommend them for sure!

Hi Beth,
We had the best experience with the band! They were so polite and easy to work with and I received so many compliments throughout the evening on how great they were…especially at playing great “oldie” tunes and the perfect up to date ones. Actually, one of Atlanta Ballet’s staff members went to college with the lead singer, so it felt like a family environment all night.
I have already had numerous people tell me to go ahead and book them for next year’s event now because they had so much fun!
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Thanks for checking in. The New Royals were a huge hit! Everyone had a blast and have had nothing but great things to say about the band. I got to the venue early to set up and spoke with Rudy to make sure the band had everything they needed. He was very professional and seemed to have everything under control. I was very impressed that all the band members were dressed perfectly for the event and seemed to fit right in. The set list was exactly what we had asked for and the dance floor was full for almost every song! The band even posed for photos with a few of our employees who asked them for a picture. They went above and beyond what I expected from them and we were all highly impressed!
Thank you so much for helping me find them! We will definitely be using Sam Hill Entertainment next time we need a band!
Thanks,
