Hi Summer,
Queen City Band was incredible! We are so happy with the decision to hire them and appreciate your help! They listened to all our preferences, nailed all the songs and even had the saxophone do a solo as we had hoped! Please tell them thank you for making our day so incredible!
Thanks,

Hi Summer,
The band was absolutely amazing! They kept our guests on the dance floor throughout the night, and they were so talented! One of our friends is a bit of a music snob, and he commented multiple times about how good they were. (He specifically called out the bassist, too!)
Please pass along our appreciation to the band! And to Warren for nailing the cues for our first dance, father daughter dance, and mother son dance.
We wouldn't have changed a thing!

Everyone had a great time dancing to their sets and the song selection was perfect. We would highly recommend them to others interested in booking a band in the area.

Hi Mike,
We had a great time with the band. They accommodated every song request we had and played phenomenal music. We had such good feedback from everyone. We'll certainly recommend them to anyone in the area that needs a band.
Working with Sam Hill was also very smooth. We had no issues with communication and everything worked perfectly. It was probably one of the easiest parts of planning the wedding.
Thanks!

The Queen City Band was everything we had hoped for and more. The dance floor did not stop!! We’d like to think our guests had a great time celebrating us, but it was more likely because the band was rocking. Heard during the first song, “oh wow, this band is going to be great.” And they were!
Working with Sam Hill was smooth and easy!
Many thanks for contributing to what was a very special weekend for me, Sarah, and our family and friends.

I am not sure of the name of the lead singer but he was incredible. We had a relative spill out of their chair and onto the dance floor during my dad's speech and he helped him get back in his chair!
Working with you through Sam Hill was great! I loved being able to see the band's catalog as well as watch videos of them performing. I appreciated all of your emails and responses keeping me on track.

The music was a great blend of songs that old folks (parents' generation and up) and the younger guests could enjoy. Everything was wonderful. I have already give a recommendation for Sam Hill Entertainment and QCB to a person who is planning a social event next year!

I'm reaching out to give you feedback on Queen City Band from our wedding on 10/2/21 in Norfolk, Virginia.
Our event was blacktie, and the band showed up looking awesome! We spoke before the guests arrived, and I could immediately tell that they were going to put on a great party before they even began. They did an awesome job MCing the first dance, toasts, etc., including a special story from my motherinlaw about the song she was dancing to for her dance with my husband. Once the party began, the band was AMAZING! It was a party from start to finish. The song selection was perfect, including playing several songs that we had requested to hear and a good balance of new and old songs that all guests could dance to. In the following days, we heard from many of our guests that it was as much fun as they'd ever had at a wedding, and I largely credit Queen City Band for that. Overall, they were professional, sounded great and put on one of the best concerts we had been to. I cannot recommend them enough. They were worth every single penny!
Thank you!

I’ll have the bride and groom write an actual review you can share when they get back from their honeymoon. They just left today and will be gone for two weeks. I know they absolutely said they were THE best!
From a planning perspective, they were very easy to work with. Showed up early, done with sound check on time, very flexible for anything we requested. It was actually one of the easiest bands I’ve ever worked with. I would definitely recommend them for future events.

Hey Andrew! Our experience was amazing. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and we think that Queen City Band was the biggest part of that. The music was 10/10 and they truly hosted the night and got everyone up and dancing. I would easily recommend them to any and all of my friends planning to get married in the area. The song they learned for us (Come and Get Your Love) was a hit with the crowd and it sounded like they'd been playing it for ages.

We booked Queen City Band for March of 2020, and we moved our wedding to March of 2021 due to COVID. They were very helpful and professional throughout the process of moving our wedding all the way up to the night of our wedding. They and Sam Hill Entertainment were flexible and communicated the entire time in a prompt manner. On the day of our wedding, they brought 9 of their band members, 2 of which performed at cocktail hour as well, and they all absolutely killed it! Every song they played was amazing, and they even had some unique remixes that were crowd favorites. Queen City Band was always ensuring we were having a good time with their fun spirits. The band was the highlight of our wedding, and everyone spoke so highly of them for the remaining weeks afterwards. We are looking forward to seeing them again in the future for other weddings or events! HIGHLY recommend!

Hi Demond!
We LOVED working with Queen City Band, and hope to work together again soon.
Queen City Band kept the energy alive all night, we couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off the wedding season. For the majority of the evening, 100 percent of the guests were up on their feet dancing...which is something we don't see often! Queen City Band knows how to keep the party going all night long with their energetic movement, killer vocals, and high enthusiasm. It's an A+ from Reagan Events and we hope to work together again soon!
Thanks Demond, hope to see you and QCB again soon.

Queen City Band played at our oldest son’s Wedding Reception, this past Saturday, in WinstonSalem, North Carolina. QCB was fantastic at all levelscontract and pre reception business logistics, work with family on play list, day of concert set up, reception traditions (father of the bride/bride dance, mother of the groom/groom dance and bride/groom dance) and the reception dance.
Great people, great music! They were the perfect band for our family’s perfect day. I can’t recommend them enough. If you want to talk about QCB, please reach out to me.
It seems I’ve spent a lifetime at weddings, fund raising events and other parties, but QCB is as good a party band as you will find.

QCB performed at our son’s wedding reception recently, and I have nothing but rave reviews to share. They were a high energy, talented band that was easy to work with and very accommodating. They communicated well prior to the event and developed a playlist that was just what the bride and groom asked for. They even learned the three “first dance” songs that we requested. Their high energy, nonstop performance kept our guests on the dance floor the entire time! The band members were super friendly and engaging and even invited the wedding guests on stage to participate! Everyone, even my 86yearold wheelchair bound mother, was in on the nonstop fun. QCB really hit the mark and helped create the perfect atmosphere for our reception!

Hi Andrew,
We had such a fun evening with them last Saturday at Emily and Christian’s wedding reception. They did a fabulous job with the music selection and interacting with the guests. Several people stopped me to say how much they enjoyed the band! I spoke with a couple of the band members as we were leaving the venue to thank them and they were so pleasant and courteous. I had specifically asked that they provide low volume music during the cocktail hour and as we were eating dinner so that the guests could visit with one another. The band did a wonderful job with that and we were most appreciative. You all were wonderful from the start about answering our questions, communicating with the Bride and Groom to determine music selections, and emailing information to us. I would not hesitate to recommend the Queen City Band or Sam Hill Entertainment. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Also, I am one of those people that doesn’t love super loud music…the band was very sensitive to that and their sound guy (Malachi I think) was VERY kind and honored my request to not be too loud. Sound balance was PERFECT!
We would do it all again next weekend if we could. Thank you! People were asking where we found you and we keep telling them!

Hey Demond,
Thanks so much for your email. We had the best time, and QCB was one of the biggest parts of that — you could probably tell from how our guests could not get enough of you! Every comment we got that night and since has included a nod to your amazing band. I don’t think people have ever had so much fun at a wedding. One of our friends from NYC said to me, “Thank you for inviting me. This is something I’ll never forget” as he looked out on the crowd dancing. I was like omg, this is really special, and it’s not just me feeling it!
Demond, I really appreciated your personal professional approach and the sincerity of your singers. Dancing with the leads and moving to every song, it felt like the band were our guests having a great time with us and wishing us the best for our love, while never overstepping or having a “too talkative DJ” vibe 😂. When we looked online at Sam Hill Entertainment, we watched so many videos, but the videos of you all stole our hearts and even with a bigger price than we had planned for, we knew we had to make it work because of how much we loved your sound and style. I’m extremely glad we did it, in person was even more fantastic; the 4 lead singers were so fun to dance with, so sweet and sincere and the energy of the whole band could not be matched. Brandon and I joke how no one did the reception activities we planned because we couldn’t pull them from the dance floor 😂
I know this is much longer than anything you would want to post, so fee free to hack away at it but I really wanted to express just how special our experience was with you all. You have something really special, I’m glad we could mix it up with our something special.
Hope to use you again and refer folks to you always. I wish you & QCB the best,

We had an amazing time with the QCB at our wedding @ Treehouse Vineyards. 10/10 5 STARS 100% would work with you all again.
Early on, my wife and I discussed our budget and knew that the biggest priority for us was a GREAT LOCAL BAND. I come from a musical family so, we were not picking just any band. Loved your videos and dug a little deeper to see reviews and had a great feeling about you, based on your catalog. I was super glad that your band was having as much fun as our guests I mentioned that our dessert was ready to be announced during the next break, and your frontman replied I'm not taking a break I'm having too much fun! The band participating in our Soul Train was the highlight of everyones experience. We've had friends and family asking us how we found QCB and I keep telling people DO YOUR RESEARCH. Safe to say, we'd hire you for our next wedding too. Maybe when we renew our vows in 20 years...
Best,
BJ
Queen City Band with Sam Hill Entertainment kept the dance floor PACKED all night. Their energy was palpable and their sound unmatched. It's really important to me as a planner that a band helps keeps the night flowing seamlessly, and QCB exceeded my expectations. They were a joy to work with and their announcements were always right on time.
Each band member was professional and personable. I had so many people asking me who the band was they really made an impression on the guests.
Queen City Band was absolutely incredible and I hope to work with them again and again!

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!!

Andrew,
We could not have been any more satisfied with Queen City Band!! 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

The Queen City Band are true Rockstar's and The South Carolina Peach Festival are extremely pleased with our experience with you. I am sure that our paths will cross again.

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!

Hi Andrew,
We absolutely adore Queen City! They were incredible and made our wedding a huge success!! They had people up and dancing during DINNER! Our guests raved about how they were the best wedding band they ever experienced and our newly engaged guests are planning to book them for their 2020 wedding.
We can't thank you all enough! We wish we could do it all over again :)
Thanks again!

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!

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 bigtime.

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!!!!!

Hi this is Carol the mother of the bride. I am going to tell you from my own group of people that they absolutely loved your band! They couldn’t believe all the genres of music you played. You were incredible. And we loved you. Never have I seen so many people dancing all the time. It was great!
Continued success to you is what I wish. Your band is awesome!

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

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 replan 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!
