I don’t think it could have gone any better if real live unicorns had joined the party and it rained candy. They did great as always!

They are UNREAL good. I've been to a million weddings and they are one of the top bands I've seen (I know I'm bias). And they are very reasonably priced.
It felt like a concert with all of our favorite people. Everyone had a blast and still talks about the band. Can't say enough good stuff about them.

Hey Katie, thanks for reaching out.
The band was incredible, from coordination, organization, and of course, the music. They are all so talented and work flawlessly with one another. The important thing for me is that my client is happy, and to say she was over the moon is an understatement. She loved watching her guests dance and sing to the music all night. That’s what makes her happy.
Everyone in the band is great to work with and professional, but I have to give Danny some extra spotlight. He is just so easy to work with, professional, and understands this business of hospitality we are in. I can’t wait to work with you all again soon!
Take care!

The Life Atlantic was absolutely great! Everybody was on the dance floor! From two to 82 years old, the band had us all moving all night. Everyone raved about them. Their selections, their energy and their wide variety of songs were perfect for a wedding. Their vocalists were great. We loved having the horns. Everything about them was a hit!
Working with the leader in advance to plan for first dances and choose songs was so easy. I can't say enough good things about this band and Sam Hill Entertainment. We listened to a lot of groups trying to make a decision. None could have been any better.

This past weekend I had the pleasure being at a wedding where The Life Atlantic performed. I had the privilege of watching them set up, watching them rehearse, and ultimately watching them perform. Their song selection and execution was incredible. They are an unbelievably talented group of musicians who each have an unparalleled ability to energize a crowd. They performed hit after hit and kept the crowd engaged. It was truly an amazing experience getting to rock with this band. I was on the dance floor the whole time and didn’t want the night to end!

Hi Katie,
In regard to our wedding day, everything went great with the band. We truly cannot say enough positive things about The Life Atlantic. I remember when we first discussed booking them, you told us there was something special about them, and we could not agree more! Not only did they play great music the entire night, they brought such an incredible energy that kept everyone on the dance floor. We have received so many compliments from family and friends about the band specifically, even as recent as this week. Danny and the band were also great to work with. I had a lastminute song request that was not on the band's set list (it was a special song for Michael and I), but I understood, given the timing of the request, they would not be able to learn it in time. But, to my surprise, they played it at the wedding, and it was a really special/fun moment. So, again, nothing but positive things to say!
Thanks again for your help with everything Katie!

Michael

We LOVED The Life Atlantic. They were truly the most talented and fun band I have ever heard at a wedding or any other event for that matter. Additionally, they were extremely easy to work with and made themselves readily available anytime we needed them during the planning period before the wedding. Danny was so kind to help us with a lot of the logistical decisions for the reception and a huge blessing to have on our team for the event. Each individual in the band was incredible and made our wedding so fun and special. I would recommend them for any and everyone looking for a band, especially if they want to have a good time!

Sorry for the delay! Katrina and I are finally back home and still recovering from what was truly an incredible and unforgettable few days down in Charleston. There are so many memories and moments that were incredibly special, and one of the top ones was the experience we had with every single member of the band. While the music and overall performance was without question incredible (I mean you all CRUSHED it), it was the genuine nature and thoughtfulness of each person that stood out. Danny, you've got a great crew every person was so gracious, kind, warm and just a ton of fun. We had some great conversations and laughs, which we'll remember forever.
You guys are a special group and I can't believe it's been ~2years that you've been together. You're going to do some great things together and you'll be the first band we recommend to others and call should we host an event of our own in the future. Thank you so much for making every minute of our night so special. We're honored you could be part of it all.

Hi Andrew!
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated The Life Atlantic.
I was super impressed with them. They not only sounded amazing and had a great setlist, but they read the room. They were able to get the party going and keep it going for the entirety of the time they were there. My guests ended up getting a little wild and trying to take over the stage, which I have seen happen a thousand times, with disastrous results. Usually ending with a pissed off band and an awkward moment. However, they handled everything with grace and an ability to keep things moving in a positive and celebratory direction, and turned the guests' craziness into an awesome memory. I really appreciate how well they navigated the whole night and their amazingly positive attitudes. After this entire fiasco of a year, every little bit of joy that day was a blessing to me and I feel like I soaked it up like a sponge. Please give them my heartfelt thanks. It was a really wonderful day.
Thank you!
