Good-time Party Music
THE JANGLING REINHARTS came together to provide roots-rock music largely forgotten by other bands. Think: The Band meets Van Morrison and they go out to Stephen Stills' house and listen to the Monkees while watching a Barenaked Ladies video. This melting pot of music describes what they are all about. THE JANGLING REINHARTS mix popular cover songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s (along with the occasional TV theme song…just to see who's listening). Beautiful vocal harmonies, superb finger-styl . . .
We seriously had the best time, and a large part of that was because of the band, their personalities, and their music. They were able to read the crowd and know exactly what to play next.

Beautiful vocal harmonies, superb finger-style on the lead guitar, and a knack for playing the right song at the right time set THE JANGLING REINHARTS apart from the rest. THE JANGLING REINHARTS normally perform as a four-piece band, including two guitarists, bass, and drums, each of whom contribute vocals as well. Also available is an acoustic duo or trio version of the band for a more laid-back event, or just for an opening set to gradually get the evening started. Either way, you still get a great sound with a huge variety of songs you know and love. The Reinharts were selected co-Best Wedding Band in Richmond by voters in Richmond Magazine's 2014 year-end poll, and were selected outright in 2015.

5-star review on TheKnot.com posted 10/21/19: "Sam Hill offered us great services from the initial contact to the very end. We had the Jangling Reinharts play at our wedding and we could not have dreamed of a better wedding band/emcee for our special day. They adjusted to the crowd and played amazing songs as well as got every single name of the bridal party correct on the first try (that's quite the feat in my opinion). They are always a fun time and we loved playing with the tambourine. I would highly recommend working with Sam Hill for your wedding needs!"

This is particularly remarkable given the wide age spread spread of guests that were present. Every band member was professional and had commanding stage presence. They did a perfect job with our song requests, especially with our first song together. The quality, energy and fun level was up the entire night.

It was a muggy, rainy (downpour) reception an everyone was crammed under tents since we were outdoors, but the band kept everyone out on the dance floor and because the rain didn’t faze them, everyone had an amazing time. For two solid hours, the dance floor was filled with smiling, happy, sweaty, and drenched people! The music was perfect for our crowd. From our deadhead friends enjoying the dinner music to everyone from the flower girls/ring bearers to our 70+ year old family members dancing, it was everything I had hoped for. We left them alone and let them put together their own set list and we are glad we did, it was perfect. As someone that goes out to listen to music often, I was really impressed by their ability to manage the volume. We had to put tables right in front of them during dinner because of the rain, but the music was a perfect volume to allow conversation and when the tables were moved so people could dance, the volume went up, but I didn’t have the normal ringing in the ears the next morning from being up against the speakers. That was huge for me and I really appreciated how well they handled it. Oh, and the staff at the hotel said that they were used to people complaining about the wedding music, but with this band, they had several people comment on how well they loved it and many sat outside on the porches to listen!! From the moment Rick and I first corresponded, he was beyond professional and friendly. We did ask them to learn a song for our first dance (Maybe I’m Amazed). They did and it was perfect. Lisa

From: Peggy Perry Date: Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 8:39 AM Subject: Perry event-Oct.1 To: Andy; Rick Hi Rick, It was great to see you and to hear the Jangling Reinharts once again. So fun to reconnect over these many years. We cannot thank you all enough for helping make the party for Mike's birthday such a memorable celebration. Many friends/family have said how talented and fun the band was and what a treat it was to have you all perform. Something that was noticed by a number of folks, myself included, was how the band kept the volume at a level where one could still have a conversation without shouting, but also increased the level when appropriate. That was much appreciated. I'd love to know anything that could help for the future, as we would LOVE for the Jangling Reinharts to return! As far as our family was concerned, the night couldn't have been any better...being surrounded by family and friends, a beautiful fall evening, great BBQ from Mission, and having the Jangling Reinharts band perform was the icing on the cake! Thanks again, Rick, and please pass along our sentiments to your band mates. Peggy

5-Star review on TheKnot.com posted 01/16/2017 "We booked the Jangling Reinharts through Sam Hill Entertainment and are SO glad we did. The process was very easy, both with Sam Hill and the band leading up to the wedding. At the wedding, the band was perfect. They read the crowd throughout the night, keeping the dance floor full. Their mash-ups were fun and kept the pace of the night moving. They were very professional and easy to work with, including handling the pre-recorded music for their breaks, which was also pitched perfectly. Throughout the night, friends (both music snobs and party people) came up to us to rave about the band. And they almost always found us on the dance floor. When I recover from wedding-madness, I want to throw another giant party so I can book the Reinharts again!"

We are 3 days post wedding and people cannot stop talking about how wonderful they were. They set the tone for the wedding by playing while the guests were coming in (prior to the bridal party). That is one of the things I told them was very important to me and they took it seriously. A few of the comments I have gotten from guests are "we have never been to a wedding that people got out on the dance floor that quickly", "great variety of music" etc. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing and accommodating band for their big day. We are very thankful that Sam Hill brought them our way. Best, Ashley

They were really receptive to our requests and preferences and played exactly what we wanted. Everyone was dancing immediately and all through the night. Rick did a great job with the announcements and keeping the crowd upbeat. They went above and beyond the usual special first dances and played 2 more special songs— one dedicated to each of our parents. That was definitely the highlight of my mom and dad’s night - leading the conga line to a song that was played at their wedding over 30 years ago! I would absolutely recommend The Jangling Reinserts to anyone for their wedding— as long as they’re ready to dance all night. Thanks again for your help with selecting them!

Superb group, great sound, interactive with the guests, polite, charming, funny and even helped out judging a "best dessert" event we had. They can and seeming did play just about every song you wanted to hear, and never sounded off, even once. They really made the party, my feet hurt the next day from dancing. I would give these guys 20 stars out of five because each of them were 5 stars in their own right. I am a fairly harsh critic,I contribute to many on-line rating sites, and I don't like to give out false compliments, but TJRs were fantastic. I think one of the guests approached them for a wedding booking. We didn't deserve a band as good as TJRs but we were ecstatic to have them. Sincerely, Matthew P Rhames MD FAAEM

Mike and I first saw the Jangling Reinharts play back in 2005 when we were UVA students--they were the band at his fraternity's formal event that year. They were so memorable that, for the past 10 years, we promised each other that the Jangling Reinharts would someday play at our wedding. Sure enough, when we got engaged there was no question who our wedding band would be! I can't say enough good things about the Jangling Reinharts--their energy is amazing, they know exactly what to play to keep the crowd dancing, their song list appeals to all ages, and they're simply a pleasure to work with. Our guests were dancing nonstop the entire night (including people who usually don't dance at all!) Since the wedding, we've been told numerous times by friends and family that the Jangling Reinharts were the best wedding band they'd ever seen. We would recommend them a thousand times over to anyone looking for a band for their next big event! Best, Courtney

Everything we could have hoped for. They were extremely accommodating and let our friend (who is quite good himself), play a few songs at the end. Their song selection was on point. I believe all 200 people were dancing for much of the night. We will absolutely pass the info along. Again, everything about working with the band either met or exceeded our expectations. We really appreciate all the work that went into it our your end. -Mike

The Jangling Reinharts were the best band I have ever heard at a wedding, and they far exceeded our expectations! Our guests and family raved about them the entire night- they were so good that even our grandmothers got out on the dance floor with us! We seriously had the best time, and a large part of that was because of the band, their personalities, and their music. They were able to read the crowd and know exactly what to play next. They included my cousin who is a singer/songwriter in one of their songs and seemed to work very well with our wedding coordinator and other vendors. Rick was super nice and incredibly easy to work with. He was also very flexible and laid back when we needed to change our timeline a bit due to weather. It was an incredibly hot evening, and they still played their hearts out! The entire band seemed to have as much fun as we were having, which was very important to us! We seriously cannot say enough good things. Our guests have already been asking for their info, so we will be sure to recommend you all and the JRs anytime people ask!! If anyone ever wants a personal recommendation for Sam Hill or the band, please feel free to send them our way :). Thanks again, Kathryn & Bryan

They were definitely rocking the crowd and dance floor — but so consistent with communication and keeping me in the loop. I can’t remember last time I had such a great experience with a band and band leader. I can’t say enough good things about them. The clients thanked them after the event - they were very much loved by all. You could tell, we had all 130 people on the dance floor pretty much the entire time. Really amazing.

Rick was wonderful to work with in advance and he helped us smooth out all of the details so we felt comfortable going into the reception. As soon as the music started our guests began complimenting how amazing the band sounded. They wide range of music seemed to include something for everyone and we saw people out on the dance floor that we truly never thought would take part in dancing. The band was flexible throughout the reception as well, playing a few requests that we had not included in advance. This made our friends and family from Tennessee very happy since Rocky Top was one of those requests. I'm still hearing people talk about how great the music was and we could not agree more. We will certainly recommend the Jangling Reinharts and any other band from Sam Hill to any of our friends that need live music. Thank you so much for being a part of our amazing day.

Katie and I can't say enough about how great they were. In fact, my family from Ohio wants to bring them out for a big event they have every year. Really a great job, thanks for recommending them to us too. Let us know if we can be a recommendation for anybody else considering the group. Best regards, Alex

There comes a point when a vendor reaches new heights for me; they are so good at what they do I don't have to think twice about their portion of the evening.....that's how I feel about the Reinharts. They are so accommodating, so easy to work with, and they get the job done. This wedding was a huge dancing crowd and once the music started everyone was on the floor.

Dear Frank, The Jangling Reinharts are absolutely wonderful. Their music is outstanding and appeals to all ages. From a coordination perspective they were one of the best I have ever worked with. Rick had all his notes and music sent from the bride ready. His interaction with the family and guest was perfect and unobtrusive. Most of all I felt their willingness to make the event perfect and that it was a team effort to accomplish it. True Professionals. Tiffany, Brian and guests all commented to me how much they loved the band. I look forward to working with them again and have recommended them to several brides already. Also, I recommended them to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) of the Triad to have them for their large fundraising Gala they have every year in February I will pass your contact information on to them. Thank you and please pass this note onto Rick Mimi Coordinator for Tiffany and Brian

Our guests can't stop complementing their performance and how wonderful it was to have a live band that we could sing along with at the wedding. They were very easy to work with from start to finish during our wedding planning process. Rick and the band accommodated all our special requests from learning the first dance song to taking on the fly requests during the reception. The highlight of the night may have been the groom surprising his mother with 'Wagon Wheel' for their mother-son dance, which got everyone up and ready to party! The dance floor was full from start to finish, and they even had us up and dancing to an awesome playlist when they took a break. Their rendition of 'Country Roads' brought the evening to a wonderful close with a 50 person sing-a-long. We would HIGHLY recommend the Jangling Reinharts to anyone planning a wedding or large event who wants a packed dance floor all night. Best, Rachel and Derek

Could not have asked for a better band. The Jangling Reinharts took the wedding to 11 and I appreciate it so much. You played the dinner perfectly and took it up immediately. Our first songs were perfect. Can't tell you how many people complimented the playing but also the song choices. I actually had someone come up mid-wedding and tell me that "most bands at least play one song you can't dance to but not these guys" (and then they literally ran back to the dance floor) Being my second JRs show, I'm already a fan but wanted to pass along the many compliments of others and say once again, thank you!

First, you guys were helpful and great about the iPod hookup, and especially saved my ass with the Maid of Honor speech since I forgot to download that Whitney Houston song. Leaving the song selection up to you guys was great; it saved us stress during the wedding planning stage, and you guys did a great job of picking out up-tempo songs that would keep people on the dance floor. Letting us get up on stage and have a mini band practice and a little karaoke was awesome too! I don't think we can say enough how great the whole night was!

Once we were ready to dance, they played tunes some of the older folks would get into, and did! And then they kept the energy up. The sounded great, seemed like they were having fun, and wow did I. They played all the songs I'd requested be played and then some. I just had a blast. I really have to thank your team, and the band for such a wonderful day. I can't believe how much fun they were.

But for additional information, I think it might be helpful for other couples to know that they are not the type of band I had in mind when we started this process. We have been to a ton of weddings with bands, and I definitely thought I wanted something traditional. Initially, the Reinharts did not fit the mold of what I had in mind for our wedding day. After reviewing tons of bands, songs, and options on the Sam Hill website, we just kept coming back to the Reinharts. Although I was a little skeptical, I read the reviews, we booked them, and then waited for the months to pass before the wedding. Now that our day has passed, let me tell you that I AM A BELIEVER. The Jangling Reinharts are the absolute best wedding band out there. They put on a truly amazing show for our wedding reception. I have never seen such a spectacle of people of all groups and ages literally pouring over the edges of the dance floor to jam out to this amazing band. We expected some of our older guests to leave early, but they stayed and wouldn’t stop raving about the band. Not only that, they learned a Bruno Mars song for my husband and played a few other current pop songs which weren’t on their playlist, and the dance floor went crazy. Above and beyond, they were great emcees for the event. They created such a fun, friendly environment, and our reception wouldn’t have been the same without them. I’ve heard that people won’t dance at a wedding if the bride and groom aren’t out there dancing. Well, as the bride, I had to force myself into the crowd on the dance floor. That’s how fun this band is. So, if you are looking for a band that will keep your dance floor packed and all your guests telling you, “I LOVED THAT BAND!” then the Reinharts are for you. Throw out any notions you might have had about the traditional look or vibe of a wedding band. The Jangling Reinharts are it!!! Jordan

The comments we've received have all been "Where did you find that band?.. They were Awesome"! They were gracious in allowing my brother-in-law to perform his two standards (Johnny Be Good and Mustang Sally). I know they probably cringe when someone wants to share the stage with them and I appreciate their willingness to do so. We danced until the end of the evening and the photos will attest that everyone at some point was out on the dance floor. Thank you again! Mickey Schilling

From the moment they started playing, until my husband and I walked out, they kept the party going. We have received numerous compliments from guests about their performance and how they would like to hire them for future events. Rick and the guys we're so friendly, and even welcomed my uncle when he decided to grab the mic and help sing "Leroy Brown". :) They were a huge part of why our wedding was truely, an unforgettable night. We hope to see them play again around town soon. Other brides may have dreamt about their wedding in terms of how beautiful their dress might be or the yummy food they'll eat. I, on the other hand, have dreamt of having an amazing band play at our wedding reception. The Jangling Reinharts surpassed those dreams. Thank you so much for facilitating their appearance at our reception. Sincerely, Catherine S. Turner

First of all, they played exactly the kind of music we envisioned. Our guests loved the music selection. Everyone was dancing from start to finish. It was danceable, fun music which any age group could enjoy. Second, I had requested that my dad be able to sing a few songs with them. He ended up on stage for a good chunk of the night, even played a little guitar. The guys were so accommodating and it really got the crowd going. It made it all the more special to have my dad up there and the band made it happen. It was the greatest day EVER and the Jangling Reinharts helped make that happen. A+, 10/10, whatever rating system to you want to use, these guys were top notch! Thank you for your help in booking them. I would certainly recommended Sam Hill and you in particular to anyone on the market for great entertainment at their event. Have a Happy Holiday and New Year! Sincerely, Blair Harper

We had a fantastic time with the Jangling Reinharts, could not have asked for a better wedding band if we tried. They did a fantastic job at keeping our guests entertained (despite other options like the fire pit, s'mores, and scotch). The transition from playing to breaks was awesome, they chose great music in the mean time. The last song was the best part of the entire night, we couldn't have planned it better if we had tried - started with Journey "Dont Stop Belivin" into Bon Jovi "Livin' on a Prayer" into a Hora-remix and then back to "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Don't Stop Believin." It was the best way to end our already perfect wedding. Huge thanks again to the Jangling Reinharts and their hard work. Please feel free to use us as a referral for the band if anyone asks, previous clients were the best way for my husband and I to decide on a band, and we are happy to speak to anyone that may be trying to make a similar decision. Thanks again! Andrea

Not only did one of Ashley's Dad's friends comment that he wanted to take a seat to the side of the dance floor and listen to the band all night, several of my music aficionado friends came up to me and told me they wanted our wedding soundtrack! I recall reading one review of the band highlighting all their guests - from 7 to 70 - were dancing and enjoying the music. I echo that comment. Rick did a great job of emceeing the reception and engaging the crowd - inviting one of my friends to play drums for a few songs, passing around a tambourine, and dragging out a bass drum for us to beat. Their Avenger and Rabbit Head masks were also a fun addition. In all, we can't give high enough praise. They played the songs we wanted to hear and made sure the party was rocking.

From: Emily DoBell Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2012 7:50 PM Subject: The Jangling Reinharts Hi Hank! Nearly a year later, I am sitting on a friend’s couch in Boston (we moved!) reliving some excellent memories from our wedding. I could not have asked for a better night. There have been times that I meet friends of friends for the first time and they say "Oh - you guys were the ones that got married on the farm in Virginia and had that awesome band ." Wedding guests still talk about it as one of the greatest parties they’d been to and I know for a fact that the Jangling Reinharts were responsible for that in a significant way. They were totally professional, only took one short break, and were extraordinarily talented with all types of music - especially their own mash-ups. They were also super accommodating and easy to work with - I could not have hoped for any better. We changed our original wedding date to make sure we could book the Jangling Reinharts and a year later it remains one of the best decisions we made! Again, thanks for everything.

The Reinharts were absolutely amazing to work with and I definitely plan to go online and give them a glowing review. They played the right selection of songs that fit both our music taste and still appealed to everyone at the wedding. I felt like every time I turned around that night they were playing another favorite song (Mumford and Sons, The Beatles, Talking Heads, Buffett, the list goes on). They also nailed all of our special requests, including obscure Mark Knopfler songs for Martin and an "Auld Lang Syne" > "End of the World as We Know It" to kick off 2012. The guys even closed out the night with "Race for the Prize" reprise wearing masks - so much fun! We could not have chosen a better band to party with us for New Years and get our guests dancing all night. We really appreciate everyone's hard work to help make our wedding awesome and we'll be sure to share Sam Hill with friends, family and clients looking for great event bands. Thanks again, Tyler

The band was exactly what we were looking for. If I had a dollar for everyone that has contacted us post-wedding to say how much they loved them....well, I would be planning our one-year anniversary party and hiring them again! :-) In addition to being awesome musicians, the guys couldn't have been friendlier and more accommodating. They indulged my rocker cousin and let him come up on stage and lead a song...satisfied the crowd's "One More Song!" chants at the end of the night...played an amazing mix of music that seemed to impress every guest...learned the few songs we requested and hit every artist we'd hoped to hear...happily chatted with my family and me while breaking down the equipment at the end of the night...I could really go on and on. Clearly the band exceeded our expectations. As for the pre-wedding coordination, I really thought you guys made everything so easy and stress-free. The only negative thing I have to say is how sad I am that it's all over!! My cousin, who was married in the OBX in 2009 and used your company, had suggested I contact Sam Hill Ent. when I became frustrated with trying to find a decent band in the Philly area. I am so glad I did, as this was easily one of the best parts of our wedding. I will absolutely recommend your company to anyone who will listen. Thanks so much for all of your help! Best, Dana

You can tell they love what they do and it really made it that much more fun for the crowd. I swear everyone was dancing!

Also, we loved how they made some well-known songs even more dance-able. We thought we might have trouble getting people on the dance floor, but it wasn't a problem once the band went into full gear. It was a great night and we were VERY happy with the band! Amy

To say both Mike and I had high expectations would be modest but the Reinharts were exceptional! So tasteful and fun. Everyone really dug them - seriously I heard from so many people regarding how amazing the band was. Allenby sat in on the last song of the night. It was perfection. And they were such a big part of the evening. I can't imagine any other band would have engaged everyone there any better. Oh and the guys took some awesome photos in our photobooth. I'll forward along to Rick. Thank you so much for everything. Greatly appreciated. Let us know if there is anything else y'all may need from us. Best, Katrina

The band was excellent. We could not have picked a better choice. It fit our venue perfectly and our crowd. Everyone is still talking about the boys and their fantastic playlist. They truly made a our reception memorable. They learned our entrance song and put a great twist on it that we had to have them play it again at the end of the night. They were bloody brilliant!!!!!! Thank you again and again, Ben and Betsy Kendall

To Eric (and myself), having the right entertainment was priority number 1 for our wedding. The Jangling Reinharts blew us away as well as everyone who was at the wedding. They were so energetic and dynamic and were so wonderful. I really can't say enough good things about them. They were talk about the wedding the day after and that's what we wanted. To have a great party! The day after I learned that they were bombarded with requests during the wedding, but they never deviated from our direction of no plays and must plays. The best part was their offer and follow through to march us down the street the bar where we were gathering for the "after party". What a fanastic way to end the night! A parade! And weren't even expecting it! Thank you so much for your guidance and help to choose the Jangling Reinharts, it really wouldn't have been the same without them. Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you so much for everything. Please use me as a reference for the band. When I have pictures of my husband singing with the band I will send them to you! Cobie

At the end of the night they all had on fun super hero masks...It was a BLAST!! I had the opportunity to sit down with them and just chat about music and life and they were a great group of guys! Our guests loved them too! We got lots of great feedback on how awesome the band was! Everything went really smoothly and it was a perfect night! (except for the bloody toe..LOL).

From: Elizabeth Brady Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:00 PM To: Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: The Jangling Reinharts Andy, We cannot say enough good things about the Jangling Reinharts! We easily had the most fun wedding reception we've ever been to (I know we're a little biased), but seriously all of our guests just raved about the band and wanted to know more about them! Song selection was excellent. The band played everything we wanted and more, and it was music that our guests were familiar with mixed in with some stuff that they probably weren't familiar with - but every single song was so fun and easy to dance to, that the dance floor was full all night long. Also they bring a really fun energy to the environment. The bands musical talents mixed in with their fun personalities ensures a good time. Rick did an excellent job announcing the wedding party and working with the Colony Club to help guide guests into the next activity (cake cutting, bouquet and garter tosses, etc.) so that things ran smoothly. Rick was also a pleasure to work with in preparing for the event, very personable and open to ideas. Towards the end of the evening, the band played some awesome medleys, and everyone was going crazy dancing. It felt like a concert almost, which is just what Nick and I had envisioned. At the end of the night we had a parade down Franklin Street from the Colony Club to the Jefferson hotel. I told Rick before that we wanted some kind of parade with some music and maybe some percussion, but that he could improvise. Well it turned out better than I could have every asked for - the band, my husband and I and are guests marched down Franklin Street in a very New Orleans style parade, the guys in the band so enthusiastic and fun. We had such a special day and the ending parade was just a phenomenal way to top off the evening that everyone will remember. Nick and I must have told over half of our guests the name of the band at their request. Everyone had a blast and the Jangling Reinharts have many new fans. Nick and I would love to own some Jangling Reinharts T-shirts! Thank you so much for everything. The Jangling Reinharts made our wedding so awesome, we cannot say thank you enough! Liz & Nick

I cannot even begin to put into words how great the Jangling Reinharts were at the wedding! I have heard nothing but rave reviews since I have gotten back from my honeymoon. In fact, they were so good that I blame them for me not getting to talk to everyone at the wedding. I did NOT want to leave the dance floor. After we cut the cake, I am pretty sure I was front and center the rest of the night. At one point, I looked behind me and thought I was at a concert because people were dancing and singing and having so much fun. So, thank you and please tell Rick that we were so happy! I have defintiely heard several different people say it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and as an impartial party, I agree! HA! Thanks so much.

Please see below a copy of the email we wrote to the Reinharts. They were absolutely spectacular and I can't thank you enough for the recommendation. We couldn't have made a better choice! Rick and the Reinharts, We are back from our "mini-moon" and throughout the week we have not been able to stop talking about the amazing wedding we had last Sunday. All of the vendors did a spectacular job, but we wanted to thank you guys especially for keeping the party rocking. All of our guests have repeatedly noted how impressed they were with the band, and from the dancing, I'm pretty sure you already know how much we all enjoyed it. The music was everything we had asked for...and more! Wilco, the Beatles, and Bruuuuuuce were all crowd favorites. Those superhero masks were a riot. And the hands-on-instruments made for some great pictures. I especially appreciate your catering to the extra requests at the end of the night, which took you beyond the Neil Diamond closer. I think the circle of guests singing Billy Joel's Piano Man is a testament to the impact of that song. Sarah and I have nothing but praise for you guys. We'd love to write a recommendation for you guys on any wedding website you'd like to make sure the good times keep on goin'. Please let us know which websites you prefer. Again, thanks for all the hard work. We had a blast! -Sarah and Ori

Not only were the Reinharts every bit the wonderful musicians we had heard, they were also so easy to work with and were professionals in every way. They put together some great sets based on Kathy and my input and on their own feel for the party and for the songs. They definitely played the right songs at the right times and had a good feel for the whole event. Their rendition of our first dance song -by special request- Under the Moonlight by Travis- was perfect and Rick told me afterwards that they liked playing it so much that they might even add it to their repertoire. There must have been magic in their music that night because Kathy and I ended our dance routine right on the last beat of the song- a first for us throughout all of our practicing! Our friends and family were all very impressed and even the guests who we would not expect to get out of their seats and dance could not help but do so. They were great.

Hi Leah, Sorry to only now be getting back to you. Casey and I were in Brazil for a long honeymoon and only got back to the US on Saturday. The Reinharts were amazing; we could not have been more pleased. We've received numerous compliments on the band from a very wide array of different friends and family members who attended the wedding, each of whom has their own particular taste in music. On any given moment, the dance floor was occupied by younger guests, our more "senior" family members and friends, and everyone in-between. I think those two facts, more than anything, show the tremendous range of the Reinharts and their ability to appeal to fans of many different music styles. Even more important, Rick was extremely easy to work with and ended up playing all of the "new" songs we requested of the band, including a tremendous, climactic Abbey Road collage as Casey and I made our departure from the ceremony. They were the perfect blend of professionalism and fun. The band members even donned masks for a portion of the show and threw in some fun stage tricks, and all in the vicinity of the music couldn't help but enjoy themselves. In sum, we can't say enough about them and hope to have the opportunity to thank them ourselves (as well as see them perform again). Thank you for setting us up with them and thereby helping to make our wedding such a fun event. Best, Morgan and Casey

We continue to receive compliments from our guests about how amazing the band was. Rick was extremely helpful and accommodating during the planning process in the month prior to the wedding. We felt very comfortable with logistics, setup, etc. and the band proved to be a very 'low maintenance' vendor. We really enjoyed the music playlist during dinner (ie: Wilco) and the band did a great job of learning the father/bride song (I Loved Her First by Heartland). Once the meal and toasts were over the band cranked it up a notch and the dance floor was packed the rest of the evening. We enjoyed their sense of humor between songs and it appeared as though the band was having as much fun as the guests. Courtney and I will pass along our highest recommendation to friends, family, etc. Please feel free to use us as a reference in the future. I have also copied Rick Schaffer on this email.

They surpassed our expectations. We couldnt have asked for a better group of guys to work with. They are true musicians and a class act. All the guests wanted to know who they were and how we found them. The dance floor stayed packed all night. The Jangling Reinharts even let my brother up on stage to play the electric guitar. I would book them again in a heartbeat. Thanks for all your help. Keith and Rachelle Beavers

They played songs that got everyone out on the dance floor. They played some long sets too. The report I’m hearing back from the attendees is the reception was the best they’ve attended due largely to the band. I can’t thank Rick & company enough for their part in my daughter’s wedding.

Their music selection was fun and they were energetic and creative with their performance. They totally were a blast to have around and even joined in on the sparklers which we lit at the end of the night and I have pictures of a couple of them wearing my veil at the end of the evening. Many of our friends commented about how great they were and asked where we found them - and I was happy to say, Andy Jaspen at Sam Hill entertainment!

The Jangling Reinharts were outstanding. The dance floor was full for the entire night, and all of our guests raved about the Reinharts' performance. They were accommodating to all of our requests, even allowing my matron of honor and two friends to commandeer the stage for a non-traditional toast. (They performed "Joy to the World/Jeremiah was a bullfrog" with the band playing backup.) Several guests asked for their contact information. Once we've settled at home, the band, Sam Hill, and you personally will be getting a huge shout out on the Knot! Thanks so much for all of your help - our wedding was everything we hoped it would be, everyone had a great time, and so much of that was thanks to the music. All the best, Marcella

I knew the Jangling Reinharts would be just awesome - based on all the reviews and recommendations, and listening to you online - but you just blew everyone at the wedding away!! I can't believe you played both great and completely appropriate dinner music and then didn't take a break from playing just fantastic music that EVERYONE danced to after dinner and straight through to the reception's ending time. I saw my mom shimmying for songs on end and heard a rumor that my dad was doing some body slamming dance with my brothers. It was just a complete and total blast. Thank you so much for making our wedding just perfect!!! Thank you again!! Best always, Anna
From: Aryan Moniri Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 8:24 AM To: Andy Jaspen @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: Jangling Reinharts follow up Andy, Sorry for the delayed response -- we just got back from the honeymoon. Simply put, the Jangling Reinharts were awesome. They surprised us with slower, more dining-appropriate music during dinner, shifted to dancing music that best-appealed to the broad range of guests we had (i.e., songs that everyone knew, including oldies), and ended the night with more fast-paced 80's/90's music that got everyone out on the dance floor. Everything they played was really good. They also were very accommodating to our requests. For example, they quickly learned "Purple Rain" during a break so that my high school baseball coach could sing karaoke (sounds strange, but it was awesome - it really got the party going for the latter third of the night). More importantly, at the request of the crowd the band played for what was probably an additional 45 minutes past when the caterer tried to shut down the party. That additional playing time really made the reception for Lauren and I, our younger guests, and the older ones that stayed around to party. All in all, the Jangling Reinharts were great. Thanks for setting us up with the band. If you need a contact to recommend them in the future, please feel free to contact Lauren or I. Take care, Aryan

The Jangling Reinharts were fantastic. They arrived on time, were extremely accommodating and put on a fantastic show. They really helped make our wedding day special. I can't even count the number of people who came up to us during the reception and afterwards wanting to know where we found our band. Needless to say we passed along their and your information. The selections of music were extremely appropriate. During dinner, they played a nice low key set. That surprised us considering we were expecting recorded music. It was a really nice touch. Once the fun started, their music choices changed and soon everyone was up dancing and having fun. I was worried that some of the party wouldn't enjoy the music or miss out on the fun. That never happened. Everyone could enjoy the music choices. Their final set finished with them handing out musical instruments and asking a few to play along. It definitely finished off the night with a bang. Everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend them for any party or wedding reception. They have our 100% endorsement. Thank you and your staff at Sam Hill for all their help! Take care. Hope to hear from you! Mike and Jenn

I was so gracious to do a song with them, and when I was used to playing the song in a different key, they transposed keys on the spot (even the guitar solo, which isn't always the easiest thing to do). It is difficult to impress a crowd full of musicians and non-musicians (especially when the musicians are, as I and my friends are, music snobs), but they did it the whole night! They were EXCELLENT!

They really made the wedding one big party. I can't tell you how many people have asked me who we were and how we found them. I have a lot of younger cousins and they have all told me they want to book the Reinharts when they get married! It was SO FUN. I admit I was a little nervous because my family and friends all have such an eclectic mix of music they enjoy. All I told Rick was that I wanted people to DANCE and man the Reinharts had EVERYONE dancing. By the end of the night my cousins were on stage with the band, my friend had a tambourine. My brother was "helping" with the vocals. I am surprised the Reinharts were willing to stay the extra hour with how wild everyone got. But they stayed and continued to be totally professional and excellent musicians and entertainers despite the surrounding madness. They even learned a song for the father-daughter dance only a few days before the wedding. I'd be happy to give them my highest recommendation if anyone is looking for some great music and great people. THANKS! Nicole

We were especially grateful they worked like dogs to learn our song "My Best Friend" by Queen. They did a fantastic job and our first dance will be a favorite memory forever. We gave a bunch of people Sam Hill Bands' name and info because they were so impressed by the Jangling Reinharts. In fact, we're hoping to go to Richmond with a bunch of our friends want to check them out again.

We received more compliments about the band than about anything else at the wedding. They worked very professionally, and were quite accommodating of our needs. The music was superb (even better than I imagined it would be). In fact, a friend of mine who works as a wedding planner in the Washington, DC area thought they were the best wedding band she had seen. Sam Hill was also great to work with. Thanks for all your assistance. We will definitely recommend Sam Hill and the Jangling Reinharts to our friends. Katherine

They were the most fun and envigorating band EVER! It was the PERFECT band for us. We even both sang with them (which was the greatest). They were so easy going and had an incredibly tight sound. They ROCKED! Really--they had everyone dancing and having a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend them for anyone who wants to have a high energy, FUN wedding. I cannot say enough about them. They were PERFECT. Thank you so much for your help and I will most definitely pass on your information to people looking for bands in the area for all of their events. I have a feeling that the Jangling Reinharts will be getting some calls from some of the people at our wedding FOR SURE! Thank you for everything! Best regards, Emily

Absolutely fantastic! For starters, our song was a bit of aunique, surf-guitar type instrumental, and they nailed it on the head. Absolutely nailed it. Then, their set was fun, upbeat, and perfect for dancing. Everyone throughout the wedding kept asking where we got the band, because of how much fun they were. And my situation was unique...I ended up playing a song for my wife, and Rick let me borrow his guitar to play and sing to her. They were very accomodating to all my needs, and a hell of a lot fun! We all had a blast, and thanks a lot for helping me out to set the whole situation up. I am following this email with one directly to the band, but if you want to pass along my word of thanks, feel free. Thanks again, Mark
From: Lisa E. Plog Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 11:43 PM To: hank@samhillbands.com Subject: Re: Dear Mike, I'm glad to give you some feedback about the Jangling Reinharts because my husband and I really loved having them play at our wedding. While I trusted Hank Wells, before the wedding I was really worried that no one would dance or that the band would play too loud, etc. The tape he gave us sounded okay, but not great. I essentially decided to trust his judgment and it turned out that the band was one of the best parts of the evening. First of all, I thought that the band members were exceptionally nice and helpful. We decided on our "first song" at the last minute and the band learned it for us within 24 hours! Secondly, the music was fantastic for dancing. Our guests loved the band so much that they were pushing us out on to the dance floor for our "first dance" so that they could begin dancing. Guests of all ages danced, from our friends to our parents and their friends. The band received more praise than any other aspect of our wedding reception. My brother just got married last month and I had the chance to compare our band to his. While he had a great (more expensive) band, I thought that the Jangling Reinharts were much more responsive to the mood and desires of the wedding guests. They seemed to know what we all wanted to hear and played fast or slow depending on what people appeared to enjoy or were requesting. I hope that feedback helps. Let me know if I can answer any, more specific questions. Good luck with your entire wedding planning process! Lisa Plog

Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 7:51 PM To: Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: thanks Reinharts Just a quick note to thank you all so much for the wonderful music you provided for my daughter, Erin's, wedding on Saturday night. The reception was a huge success and this was due in large part to them. The mix of music was perfect and you were so accommodating in accepting the inevitable schedule changes. Numerous people came up to me or spoke to me later to tell me that this was the best band at a wedding that they had ever heard. The two dances were terrific. Offering to play the first dance and the father/daughter dance instead of needing the CD was also really nice. Staying the extra time when people were still dancing and having fun made the evening a great success. They weren't too loud (which often happens) so people were able to converse a bit in the room where they were playing. All in all, it was quite enjoyable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. I would not hesitate to recommend you all, and in fact, there were quite a few people who requested information on your band after hearing you. Thanks for reading the crowd so well, being so flexible, and helping to make the reception a great success. Gina Earnest P.S. You might be hearing from some of the guests regarding your availability.

I can't believe that I got to hear Wilco, Pete Yorn, and Tenacious D as well as the Beatles and James Brown. I mean, no other band could pull off a setlist like that. I hope that they didnt get too annoyed with people asking for requests. I heard some pretty wild requests and they were very polite. I requested 2 songs and they immediately played them as the next song. By the way, our sit-down dinner ran 45 minutes over. When the Reinharts came out, they just said, "We're just going to play straight through with no set breaks." How cool is that? I booked a lot of bands in college, and I've never heard of a band volunteering to skip set breaks! It was awesome. Also, dude, they kicked ass on our first dance. It was Robert Earl Keen's "I'm Comin' Home," and they nailed it. Plus, they put there own personal touches on the song and it made the song even better. Anyway, to make a long story short, it was a pleasure working with you, Sam Hill, and the Jangling Reinharts. The customer service I received from you and everyone else at Sam Hill was impeccable. The Reinharts were perfect. As soon as I started working with you, I knew that they band was one thing that we would never have to worry about. And not having something to worry about is key when planning a wedding (as you know). So thanks again to you, Sam Hill, and the band. It was awesome doing business with you.
