Would not hesitate to hire again for other celebrations.  All in all it was  a very nice evening and all the guests complimented me on my choice of the Finns. They were well liked by all. Please let them know how happy we were to have had them and hope we can engage them again. We do have some events coming up including a wedding. They will be our top pick for a band. I am also pleased with the way this whole event was handled through your entertainment website. Have no complaints only praise! Thank you, Terri Zimmer

From: Smith, Leighton W. Date: Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 9:41 AM Subject: RE: The Finns To: Justin @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hi Justin, Thank you for the well wishes! Bottom line…we loved the Finns! They were all such nice guys and easy to work with. We made several “game time” changes that they had no problem accommodating. I told Jordan that I had shown their promo video to a few friends and I felt as if they were coming to the wedding more to see the Finns play than me get married! I can now see why they are always so busy…those boys know how to play! The song selections were great and their skill level was top shelf all the way! We are extremely happy that we picked them for our celebration. If I catch wind that they’re playing close by I may crash that wedding!  Thank for your help Justin!  Leighton W. Smith

I knew they were going to be good, but didn’t expect how fantastic it was going to be. I got SO many compliments and they truly made our night one I will never forget! Even though it was a smaller group than they normally play for, they still made us feel like it was super important to them.  I requested Hey Jude as our last song and sure enough they delivered! Our friends and family surrounded us in a circle as we sang our hearts out. There were a lot of tears and even more smiles. When Daniel and I reflected on the day, we both went to this moment as the one we wouldn’t forget. It was all the Finns! I know multiple people gave tearful thank yous for this special moment! They truly are an amazing talented group and I hope we cross paths again! Working with Sam Hill has been great as well, we greatly appreciated all the flexibility in rescheduling/accommodating covid restrictions.  Stacey & Daniel

Our wedding day was truly everything we wanted and more and The Finns were a big part of that! I was already really excited for them and when we walked into the reception their sound and style was even better than I was expecting. They did an awesome job handling multiple genres with their own sound, which can be hard to pull off. We loved their rendition of our first dance song that they learned. Guests during and after the wedding couldn’t stop talking about how great the band was. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again or recommend to others if another opportunity presents itself.  Jordan was also great to work with. He gave me all the info I needed and replied to any of my emails really quickly. He also worked with my planner and her scheduling needs. We are so happy we worked with Sam Hill and the Finns! Emily 

From: Joshua Cohen Date: Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 1:25 PM Subject: Re: The Finns To: Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hey Mike, The Finns were amazing!! We were so thrilled with both their performance at our wedding reception and with their responsiveness in the 2 months leading up to the wedding.  Our ceremony and reception were hosted in the same room, which required the room to be flipped directly after the ceremony in preparation for the reception. The Finns graciously accommodated our hectic schedule, loading their equipment before the ceremony and setting it up during the cocktail hour before the reception kicked off.  They introduced us to the reception, played for our first dance, parent dances and even learned to play Hava Nagilah especially for our party! They took a scheduled break from playing during dinner and they piped in music that perfectly fit the mood of the party.  Once they started playing after dinner, our guests rushed the dance floor and never left! The Finns were able to gauge which genres were best received by our guests and adjusted their setlist to suit the party. From their expansive playlist, we made a few special requests. Other than that, they determined what songs to play and everything flowed. After the party, the first thing many of our guests commented on was how amazing the band was. The Finns are awesome! We would definitely book them again for another party and recommend them without reservation. Mike, thanks for your help, Josh and Taylor

The Finns were amazing!!!! They were better than anything we could have imagined. We danced all night long, they played all the best songs, were so easy to work with and professional. They made our wedding an amazing party that we will never forget, all of our guests commented on how great they were. Even the songs they played during their breaks were amazing, no one stopped dancing until the very last song. I love them so much! I will 100% leave feedback on the knot. I did leave the Finn's feedback on wedding wire.  Thank you!! Bryce and Ehsan p.s. is there any way we could get a list of the songs they played? I'd love to make myself a playlist so I can relive the wedding over and over.

From: Amanda Borer Date: Tue, Jun 25, 2019 at 10:39 AM Subject: Re: The Finns To: Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment Mike, We LOVED the Finns. The Finns learned our song, Beyond, by Leon Bridges and it was spectacular. We were so pleasantly surprised when we found out they were going to play it for us. We had so many compliments all evening, and since, about how great the band was, they even got my dad up dancing and singing. We couldn't have been more pleased. I don't think there was anything that could have been better. We were so sad when it ended and they were finished playing, they really helped make our day perfect. Thank you all so much! We would be happy to write a review on the Knot and Wedding Wire too. It may be a day or two until we get to it, but it'll be there. Thanks again! Amanda

From: Cy Frazier Date: Sat, Jun 22, 2019 at 5:18 PM Subject: The Finns in Review To: Justin, I am replying to your latest email to my father, Bibb Frazier, in regards to The Finns and the barn celebration this past June 8th. As I sat down to write this review, I found myself asking, “Where to begin?” Having grown up with the phrase, “I am speechless,” or some iteration thereof, I find it mildly amusing that it took until two weeks ago today, June 8th, 2019, some 30 years on this planet, for me to at long last experience the realities of that oft overused and, I suspect, rarely experienced adage. Simply put, The Finns exceeded already very high expectations in every way possible. There are no words that can truly capture the joy, the camaraderie, and the current that coursed through the barn and partygoers that evening, electric and unbridled, but if there were, two of them undoubtedly would be, “The Finns!” Their performance managed to appeal simultaneously to three generations, and powerfully enough to get even the eldest of the elders out of the rocking chair and onto his venerable pins, cane waving. Hats off to Jordan and the rest of the crew for not only being amazing musicians, but also skilled showmen, and genuinely caring folks dedicated to working hand-in-hand with you in the realization of your big day/night’s maximum potentiality, and then some extra for good measure. Communication, 10/10, Pricing, 10/10, and Performance, 11/10! Truly cannot recommend highly enough: The Finns, for the win! Cheers, Cy Frazier

All night long people were coming up to us asking who the band was and telling us they were amazing. I spoke with the band on email because we live in the UK so phoning would be difficult (and expensive). He was very responsive and we even sorted out having me and my dad play Wagon Wheel with the band. I can’t speak highly enough of them. Thanks again, Joe

From: Derek Buchanan Date: Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 8:48 AM Subject: Re: The Finns To: Justin Paciocco Hey Justin, Sorry for the delayed response! We just recently got back from our honeymoon. It is hard to put into words how incredibly pleased we were with the Finns. Communicating with the band was quick and simple, and we never encountered any issues along the way. They turned our reception into an unforgettable experience for not just us, but for all of our family and friends. Everyone continues to comment on how they have never seen a dance floor SO full of people for SO long. The song selection and sound quality were unparalleled. We've attended a lot of weddings, and we have never been more impressed with the overall performance of the band, and I think our guests would agree. We are almost positive that we will see The Finns playing again at one of our friend's weddings! We also requested that the band learn one of our favorite songs, which they had never played before, and they mastered it! The crowd also insisted that the band play an encore song at the end of the night, and it was a perfect finale. I could go on and on about how amazing the entire experience truly was for all of us. We are so thrilled to cherish the memories we have of The Finns playing at our reception. Thanks! Derek

Thanks! Abby and Matt

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Teresa Haymore Date: Tue, May 22, 2018 at 11:35 AM Subject: Re: The Finns To: "Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment" Hello Mike WOW! The Finns were absolutely amazing. They made our daughter’s wedding an evening to remember with such energy, fun, and played a wide range of different genre of music from old to new. They were so accommodating and engaging with everyone even letting one of the groomsman sing a couple of songs with them and also allowing the bride and maid of honor to sing a song karaoke style. Working and planning with them in the weeks prior to the wedding was so easy and they consistently honored our requests. They sounded even better than what we heard on the website. Our family would love the opportunity to hear the “The Finns” again sometime. Thank you so much in helping make our daughter’s wedding a fun and memorable night. Our guests loved them and kept asking “Who was the band and where did you find them?” Even friends and co-workers that heard them playing from videos that people posted commented on what an awesome band we had for the wedding. Also thanks to Sam Hill Entertainment for great customer service in helping chose this band and guiding us through the planning process. We will highly recommend your services. Thanks for everything, Teresa

We had a truly fabulous experience with The Finns. We got tons of compliments from our guests on the wide variety of music they played, and the dance floor was full the whole evening. It meant a lot that they all were willing to work with my Aunt Annie to allow her to sing a special song as they played along. I think our absolute favorite moment (aside from the first dance) was when they played "Wagon Wheel" to close out the evening, it really was the icing on the cake of an amazing night. Thank you for all of your help throughout this process, and pass along our appreciation to the band as well. Best, Addy

We have gotten so many compliments from guests telling us how awesome our wedding band was and how they don't know how we ever found them. On the day of the wedding I was extremely surprised to see that the band not only learned our first dance song, but also learned the songs for both the father-daughter dance and the mother-son dance. It was definitely not expected and it really showed the dedication of the band. We really appreciated it. The Finns went above and beyond and truly exceeded our expectations. The Finns are without a doubt a crowd pleaser and we will happily be referring them to our friends and family! Sam Hill Entertainment has also been so easy to work with and Kris and I cannot thank you enough for all of your help! Kelsey Kernodle

We worked with Mark and sent him a playlist of say 20 songs and asked to develop a evening of music that blended with what we picked . We also gave a him a script of events through the evening and he helped make sure we stayed on schedule. Obviously we were pleased with the bands level of talent they were outstanding. They got the guests festive and dancing . We wanted a fun/ party atmosphere and the FINNS delivered. Mark was a consummate professional from beginning to end. We have seen 4 or 5 couples that came to our reception and they all praised the band. A couple of them said they may interested in booking them for parties. Several said it was the best party they had been to in a long time! Thank you for providing us with a great band to make an unforgettable evening in mine and Jill's lives. Regards, Wes

We got compliments on them all night and afterwards. They were so accommodating and a ton of fun. Sam hill was so great to book through, very easy to communicate with and setting everything up was a breeze. Would definitely recommend them for any band needs! They have a huge variety!"

They were really easy to work with and handled all of my little requests with ease. They even let Ed's uncle and cousin hop up and play a couple songs (something they tend to do when possible!). I'll be sure to put up a review soon. Thanks for everything! Rachel

And I’ve never seen guests flood the dance floor that quickly and stay. Their set was so diverse — a mix of old and new — truly, something for everyone! They sounded great and they were really great at engaging the crowd. Best, Haley WED Events

Mark Kano was great and communicated with my daughter about the music. He arranged to have the band learn "Hey Jude" at her request, which was much appreciated. All of music was fantastic and both the younger and older guests enjoyed the band. We will definitely recommend The Finns to friends! Thank You- Cindy Anderson ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Melissa Smith Date: Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 1:57 PM Subject: Re: The Finns To: "Andrew @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hi Andrew, In a word, The Finns were perfect! They were super responsive and communicative leading up to the wedding, arrived on time for the event, were flexible and so pleasant as they set-up and got the play area and themselves ready, and the proceeded to perform an amazing show. Feedback we heard from guests - even after the very first song - was this band is AWESOME! And 'it was like being at a concert... And we had our own private dance party... Mark and the guys even let my fiancé, David, (who is a musician) play guitar in a song with them, which was a huge hit with the guests and so much fun for me and David. My only regret is that the night ended before I could properly express my thanks and gratitude for their performance and professionalism. They really topped off an already fabulous day for my niece, Amber and her (now) husband, Bob. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! MELISSA R. SMITH From: Morrow Gordon Date: Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 9:09 AM Subject: Re: band follow up To: Andy Jaspen Hi Andy! I have to let you know that The Finns were absolutely amazing. Every single person at our wedding was (and still is) raving about how stunning they were. The energy and fun that they brought was electric and contagious. I can only give a perfect review to them and spread the word that they were the best party band I have ever seen. There was not a single dull moment and our wedding was magical. Thank you so much and I really hope to see another performance soon!!! Sincerely, Morrow Gordon

Mark has such a great voice and they totally rocked our wedding reception. I was originally drawn to them because of their eclectic song list. I gave them very little guidance on what to play and they totally delivered. They also learned our first dance song and it sounded great. Mark was such a pleasure to work with, he always responded quickly to my emails and was very professional. The band showed up on time and coordinated with our venue prior to the reception to nail down any details. I've had so many of our wedding guests tell me how much they loved our band and I would recommend them 100%. Thank you for all of your help. Sincerely, Kelsey Taylor (formerly Colt)
