---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jessica Craig Date: Tue, Aug 11, 2015 at 9:55 PM Subject: Peter Richardson To: Andrew Juge Hi Andrew, I just wanted to thank you for your help selecting Peter Richardson to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We could not have picked a better musician. Peter was able to learn a song (on very short notice) to play during the processional and it turned out beautifully. He was incredibly helpful to us when we were selecting additional music for our ceremony as well. Our guests were all thoroughly impressed. We would definitely hire Peter again and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a true professional to provide music at their event. Best, Jessica

He learned a song for our recessional and did a fantastic job, and really set the tone for the evening with his music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Thanks again for everything, and I'm happy to be a reference for Peter! Adam

I hope that it was a positive experience for you as well. We all truly enjoyed your music and it provided the perfect backdrop to Victoria and Daniel's ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you for being so flexible and easy to work with. If I can ever be of assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Best, Catherine Davis

From: Marshall Norton Jr Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2014 7:31 AM To: Andy Jaspen Subject: Re: happy new year dude Andy, Peter and his band Alegria were fantastic, and I want to thank you again for the recommendation. In several e-mail exchanges and a few phone calls leading up to the wedding day, Peter was extremely easy to work with on song selections, and it was fun for us to see that he was actually excited about getting to play some selections that weren't in the typical wedding repertoire. It was kind of a blur, but I definitely remember hearing "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" by Tarrega, which Peter said he could polish up for the occasion. Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" did its job in getting guests ready and getting the wedding party down the aisle. That song set the tone for Marie's processional, the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face," which Peter and Alegria worked up as requested in a slower style. To top it all off, they headed upstairs and performed two sets of fun and danceable music (maybe three? like I said, it's a blur!) during our reception, too. It was all perfect. Feel free to use any/all of that for a testimonial on the web site, if you like. Hope to see you in the new year. -Marshall

The wedding was amazing, and part of the credit certainly goes to Peter, whose musical accompaniment during the ceremony and cocktail hour were perfect. Peter was a pleasure to work with - professional, friendly, and very skilled. Thanks so much, once again, for working with me to decide on music for the wedding, and for arranging everything. I'll be sure to keep Sam Hill in mind for future events in Cville, and let others know the same. Thanks again! -Alex

From: Daniel and Elizabeth Clement Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 12:52 AM To: Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: Peter Richardson Hi Andy- Peter was wonderful. Unfortunately, I didn't hear as much of the music as the wedding guests did because I was inside until it was my turn to walk down the aisle and I missed much of the cocktail hour due to pictures. I do know that he went above and beyond the call of duty playing outside in the chilly temperatures and wind without a single complaint! I would definitely recommend Peter to any Charlottesville bride looking for a professional musician. I also have nothing but praise for Sam Hill Entertainment and the way the entire contract process was handled. Sincerely, Elizabeth Clement (mother of the bride)

I will definitely recommend him and Sam Hill Entertainment to all of our friends and family in the future! Sincerely, Amanda

We are so happy !! I cannot tell you how great it was to have him at our ceremony and cocktail hour. The ceremony music amazing. We were SO happy with him and everything he did to assist us ahead of the wedding. He ended up setting up and running the ceremony sound for us after our DJ could not, and that was so helpful. He was so responsive and wonderful to work with, I can't say enough good things. In fact, we exchanged emails yesterday because I just had to write him and thank him again for everything he did to help make our wedding amazing. He was amazing, and we were so happy with our choice. Thank YOU so much for checking in on this and for advising me to go with him in the first place. We are really happy we went with Peter. Thanks again! Rachael

From: Katelin Sensibaugh Sent: Friday, October 07, 2011 8:40 AM To: Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: Peter Richardson Hello Andy! Thank you SO much for encouraging me to book Peter Richardson for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. You were right -- he is excellent! Peter was an absolute joy to work with. He checked in with me weeks prior to the ceremony to provide me his song list, and even offered to learn anything he didn't already play (which wasn't necessary based on what we wanted:) He worked with me to make up the perfect song list for my ceremony. Wedding days can be VERY hectic, and it was wonderful not having to worry about a THING with Peter. He was there early, was so friendly with all the guests, and played beautifully. I would recommend him for every bride out there (or anyone needing a classy, professional, and friendly classical guitarist at any event). Thank you for helping to make my wedding day so special!!

Peter Richardson and then, Alegria, were awesome! We were so pleased, and really could not have asked for better. Peter was great for the outdoor ceremony and pulled through at the last minute with a song request from Ann for a Bjork song. He nailed the song out in 2 days time, and was able to play it at the wedding. Hearing the song really helped to calm Ann's nerves as she started walking down the aisle, and made it very memorable. A lot of people commented that they really liked the band for the reception. The mood they set was perfect. They were also very accommodating as far as taking impromptu breaks, I think they took a couple requests, etc . . . We do not have a big group of dancing friends. Most of our friends are musicians so, I think they really enjoyed hearing a band that did not do bad renditions of today's top 20 songs. Alegria really does have their own unique style to their music. In short, they were great! Cheers, Ann + Shawn Sullivan Washington, D.C.

Hi Peter, I didn't get the chance to thank you personally for playing the guitar solo of the Bjork tune during the ceremony. It was beautiful and I was thrilled to hear it. You and Alegria were wonderful and really set the mood for our wedding. All of our guests enjoyed the music.
