The New Royals band was wonderful - Josh and Angelica were a lot of fun. Josh was really easy to work with at the event- a sweet, easy going and really talented guy. They were super high energy and did a good job of accommodating Elizabeth and Michael’s song requests. All in all they were super entertaining at the wedding and everyone loved them. I’ll send along photos from the photographer once we get them. I’m sure she got some good action shots- Josh was in the crowd singing and dancing a ton! Catherine

They had a great performance and exceeded our expectations. Everyone I have spoken with has talked about how good the band was, our reception was more fun for everyone involved as a direct result of their great performance. Also, the band was great to work with, incredibly friendly to talk with day of, and accommodated all of our requests. Sincerely, Akiah

From: Aimee Fennessey Date: Sun, Mar 10, 2019 at 10:59 AM Subject: The New Royals To: Mike Miglino, Ryan Marston 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!

From: Gail Landers Date: Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 1:42 PM Subject: Re: The New Royals To: Beth @ Sam Hill Hi Beth! 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. Thanks again for working with us. Fondly, Gail

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Diane Joyner Date: Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 10:17 AM Subject: RE: The New Royals To: Andrew @ Sam Hill Entertainment 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. Thank you, Diane Joyner

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!! Beth

From: Elise Williams Date: Sun, Sep 30, 2018 at 8:09 PM Subject: Re: The New Royals To: Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment The band was incredible. The reception was very energized.

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

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.

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 all-captivating - SWEET HOME ALABAMA to include Georgia fans. A VERY STRONG - Get in touch with them for your own venue

From: Kathrine Coggins Date: Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 3:10 PM Subject: Re: The New Royals To: "Beth @ Sam Hill 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 not-so-fun 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!!! 🎼 Forever Grateful, Kathrine Coggins

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, Jamee Smith Ashley Rae Events

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!

Our guests along with Jason and I thought they were awesome. We received several compliments about how fun the band was from our guests. 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:) Dina

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 day-of-coordinator, 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

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. All Our Best, Olivia and Stephen

The band was amazing and interactive with the crowd which kept people on the dance floor. They sounded amazing and from what I understood were extremely easy and professional to work with. I had one of my guests describe them to someone who did not attend the wedding as phenomenal, which really made me happy we went with them. Overall an A+ for the New Royals! Thank you, Courtney Risch

The band was hands down the BEST part of our 2 day wedding!! 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! Thanks again so much to you all for everything, and please tell the band we say hello! Sincerely, Margaret

From: Gann Duke Date: Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 8:37 AM Subject: Re: The New Royals To: "Beth @ Sam Hill Beth, 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! Best, Gann

From: Walter Date: Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 7:35 AM Subject: The New Royals To: beth@samhill 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. Walter

They were fantastic and kept the guests on the dance floor the whole night! So many people came up to me complimenting the great band we had. We have been so pleased with the entire experience from my first contact with you through all the preparations in between, and finally the entertainment for the evening. Everyone was so professional and we had no issues with anything or anyone. Thank you so much and please thank all that had a part in making it a successful and beautiful wedding reception! A memory that Jenna and Doug will relive with so much joy for their entire lives! Lynette

LOL I don't think I missed dancing to a single song all night. They really helped make our wedding exactly what I wanted it to be. I even think that my cousin is planning on reaching out to you to try and book them for her wedding (Not sure when it is). 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 :-) Tippa

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

Everything was great with The New Royals-they 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! Rebecca + Adam

From: Michael Yahyapour Date: Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 9:37 AM Subject: Re: The New Royals To: "Justin @ Sam Hill Entertainment" 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! Michael Yahyapour

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 non-drinkers.) 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

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. Cindy Aldridge

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! Amy

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

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! Thanks again Sandi Hill

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!

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.

From: Caitlin Hanson Gouws Date: Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 10:16 AM Subject: RE: The New Royals To: "Beth @ Sam Hill Entertainment" 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 A-Town A-List at my sister’s wedding, 2 sister-in-laws, and 2 friend’s weddings. We were huge A-Town A-List fans but now we can easily call ourselves HUGE fans of The New Royals. We LOVED them! Our first dance, father-daughter dance, and groom-mother 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

From: Candice Beaty Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 9:39 PM Subject: Re: Thank you! To: Beth Treschitta 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! Candice

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.

From: Beth Templeton Date: Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 5:03 PM Subject: Re: The New Royals To: "Beth @ Sam Hill Entertainment" Beth, 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! Beth Templeton

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 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!
