Everything was great.  The band was fabulous, entertaining and engaging.  I loved how they walked into the crowd of dancers and performed.  There was one song (Aretha Franklin RESPECT) where one of the female vocalists absolutely brought the house down.  We loved them! I know they were as happy as I was.  I also felt Sam Hill and you were great to work with.....responsive and organized.   Many Thanks to you and QCB. Susan Fowler

Demond, I just wanted to say, I feel like you and your band were THE BEST VENDOR INVESTMENT I made of the entire wedding. I SERIOUSLY COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER BAND!!!! There were so many things/vendor issues that went wrong that day, but I have said over and over, the band being as amazing as y'all were, made everything better!! You seriously were fantastic in keeping our guests entertained, mixing the song for my dad and I to dance too, letting Alan's groomsmen karaoke, and then letting my dad and I sing Proud Mary!! Holy Crap, i seriously CANNOT say enough how amazing you and your crew were and I am so thankful for all y'all did to make my wedding night truly one for the books. I can't tell you how many people complemented me on picking THE BEST BAND THEY HAD EVER HEARD!!!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for the night of a lifetime!!

They were fantastic! They were lively, engaged the crowd, and completely elevated our wedding. Guests had a blast. They played a great variety of music, including some oldies that we requested (MJ, Nat King Cole), along with more modern tunes. Also, our wedding planner commented that communication with the band (or perhaps you?) was impressive and very helpful. I will now go on the knot and give a review too. Thanks so much to Queen City Band. We won't hesitate to suggest them to others in the future :). Best, Christa & Cedomir

"This band was just perfect for a high energy, crowd pleasing time. They were very responsive throughout the planning process, took personal client request and even welcomed a wedding guest on the stage to sing with them. Wouldn't hesitate recommending them and would love to work with them again!" Jenn D. Wedding Planner at Events by Kiersa Asheville, NC

From: Cathy Warner Date: Sun, Jun 16, 2019 at 8:06 AM Subject: Queen City Band review To: beth@samhill Hi Beth, I hope this message finds you well today! I have been planning events for almost 20 years and have worked with many live bands and I have to say that Queen City Band has got to be one of the best! When I say this band bought the “heat” I mean it! They played a variety of music that kept my group on the dance floor the entire 2 ½ hours. The party was so live the band never took a break. One of the lead vocalist even steeped into the crowd to sing and dance with some of the guest. The interaction with the crowd was amazing, the vocals were off the chain and the overall sound was the bomb.com! I told Demond what I was looking for and he made sure the band gave me that and a little something extra. This group was professional yet personal which made the experience much more fun! When my next event is within travelling distance of Queen City Band please note that this event planner will definitely reach out again! Thank you for a great experience and an amazing performance!

From: Hope Stipe Date: Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 7:54 AM Subject: Re: Queen City Band To: Beth Treschitta Queen City Band played at my daughter’s reception in Atlanta in June, 2019. They were fantastic! Not only are they musically talented, they know how to get a party going. They didn’t play very long before everybody at the reception headed to the dance floor. The band’s enthusiasm and love for what they do is infectious and it naturally pulls people in. I truly felt like they were a partner with us in a mutual effort to make sure everybody had a great and memorable time at the wedding. They were an essential part of the success of the event. Queen City Band delivered big-time. Kevin & Hope Stipe

From: LeighAnn Snuggs Date: Wed, May 15, 2019 at 3:48 PM Subject: RE: Queen City Band To: Mike Miglino Good afternoon Mike. I wanted to let you know how simply amazing Queen City Band is and how much our community thoroughly enjoyed their performance. Our folks that came to their concert, want them back. People that missed them want to know if they are coming back. SIMPLY AMAZING and SUPER ENTERTAINING – add to their description that they are GREAT for community concerts/events. Four hours and they never repeated a single song. Folks were still coming to the park to hear them after 9:00 and the dance area was packed when the time had come to stop for the night. I would recommend these guys to EVERY community interested in bringing a party to their stage!!!!! LeighAnn K.

From: Sarah Remo Date: Sun, Dec 2, 2018 at 8:11 PM Subject: Re: Queen City Band To: Andy Jaspen Hi Andy, The Queen City Band was AMAZING! Our night was perfect and they were the perfect band. I didn't get a chance to thank them directly that night, though I think my parents did, but I hope they know they absolutely MADE our wedding day and we have just continued to hear more and more guest praises as we circle back with friends and family. WOW - thank you all so much. Best, Sarah

5-star review on TheKnot.com posted 11/3/18: "Sam Hill Entertainment and Queen City Band saved our day! After we had to postpone our wedding due to Hurricane Florence, we were scrambling to find a new band (our original one was booked for our new day). Sam Hill Entertainment was easy to work with, quick to respond, and Queen City Band was exactly the band we wanted! They were super high energy, had a great set list, and kept our guests on the dance floor. I'm still getting told how awesome our band was, we had guests asking us for more info that day because they wanted to book Queen City Band for their kids' weddings. Honestly, we were so fatigued from having to re-plan our wedding and they were so easy to work with that it was one of our easiest adjustments. I can't refer this band enough!"
