Sam is above all professional, responsive, and a true pleasure to work with. He helped us put together a customized playlist, map out the flow for the evening, and even learned som...
e new songs that were important to us. But best of all is the passion, talent, and energy Sam and the band put into their performance. They rocked the whole night and had everyone dancing and singing along. When the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate to a cold February parking lot, Sam’s saxophone player kept us warm and the party going by leading everyone in a sing along of stand by me. Sam then stayed late to finish the set and saved the night. I could not recommend sam more highly and consider him a true friend. Do yourself a favor and book Sam for your wedding! We did a 7 piece band and it was totally worth it.
Sam is THE MAN!!! He and his band are absolutely phenomenal. He performed at our wedding in April, and we still have people commenting on how amazing the band was and asking who th...
ey were. From the moment I first reached out to inquire about having him play at our wedding, Sam was incredibly communicative and flexible. He let us pick almost our entire set list for the night and even learned a bunch of new songs because he knew how important they were to us. I truly cannot recommend Sam enough. His saxophone player performed during our ceremony, Sam led an acoustic set for cocktail hour, and then the full band played straight through the entire reception! We could not have asked for a better band. They truly made our wedding unforgettable. We’ll be recommending Sam Ryan Entertainment for years to come. If you’re wondering whether you should book Sam, the answer is yes, a million times yes.
