Sam Hill Entertainment

Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

He quickly brought out extra lights he had on hand to ensure that the couple still had what they needed for the first dance and created a fun party vibe for the reception afterward.

I recently had the pleasure of booking Cello Joe to perform at my wedding and what a special experience it was!!! Joey is a true professional on all levels! From start to finish, communication was effortless and always on point. He even assisted us with setting up and dialing in the sound system. Now on to the important stuff... Cello Joe's performance bridged the spectrum of family and friends present for our wedding. It was such a magical experience seeing so many loved ones getting down to veggie maniac, bike girl and so much love :). Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11. It was an honor to have such a talented musician perform and such a fun character to hang out with the rest of the event. Cello Joe's set was the musical highlight of our wedding. We're extraordinarily grateful that Cello Joe made the trip up to Portland and very much look forward to seeing this musical genius again in the near future!

DJ Demarkus and DeTayls Entertainment was a perfect DJ and emcee for our wedding. The communication was rapid and he had a great organizational app that kept us on track leading up to the big day. The Djing was better than I could've imagined - DJ Demarkus was extremely organized upfront, provided a fantastic emcee who hit all the important cues, and made amazing song choices that kept our dance floor alive all night long. He took our relatively small playlist and seamlessly transitioned between songs, making great in-the-moment choices that matched the energy of the crowd. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so fun!

When it comes to wedding planning, quick responses are very much appreciated and I can honestly say, Nick was amazing when it came to answering questions. Emailing in a timely manner and being so organized. As a bride, we have so much to stay on top of, and getting lost in emails can be just added stress. Nick made the whole entire process so easy. I’d never heard of NMC, and from the first couple of times we communicated I was SOLD. He just made everything so comfortable and easy. The man knows what he’s doing and I’m so so grateful we used him. The day after the wedding I had 4 people ask me who he was and for his information, my guests loved him. He did more for us than he had to, and with wedding day hiccups I was so thankful for him and his team. Such a pleasure to work with. Organization, prompt response, vision/ideas and the relationship built, 5 stars. We will always recommend Nick and NMC!

  • Serves Gulf Shores, AL for additional fees

New Orleans-based queer DJ specializing in LGBTQIA+ weddings. Locally serving New Orleans and Baton Rouge, also available for destination weddings! I'm here to make sure your wedding becomes the most unforgettable dance party your guests have ever been to 😎

Warm Advice was one of the only stress-free parts of our wedding day. Their communication style was clear, thoughtful, and creative - they asked all the right questions to make sure we had the exact vibes we wanted (and not the ones we didn't). Despite a lot of last-minute chaos, they were incredibly adaptable and helped keep the party filled with love and good energy all night long. As a queer couple, it was a godsend to work with DJs who "got it" without needing a full cultural immersion lesson. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they were worth every penny and more. If you want a wedding DJ who know how to bring a party to life, Warm Advice is your pick.

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

Our Dj, Terrell, did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding. He announced everything well, communicated with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, played our requested song list, and consistently checked in on my (new!) husband and I throughout the evening to see if there was anything that he could help us with. On our song list, we noted that we didn't want any country music played (unless it was a specifically requested song), and when one of our guests asked him to play 'Cotton Eye Joe', Terrell even came up to me and asked me if it was okay because he wasn't sure if I considered that country music! Overall, we are VERY happy with terrell! My husband and I would definitely recommend to other couples who are planning a wedding!
