IVY HILL ENTERTAINMENT REVIEWS

Ivy Hill is amazing! Not only are they an incredible company with a great mission, but they also are super easy to work with, extremely responsive and helpful, and their musicians are amazingly talented. My husband and I were lucky to have Tim Maconett play guitar and sing during our ceremony/cocktail hour and then DJ during the wedding. Tim was kind enough to work with me on my vision of walking down the aisle to a romantic version of Foxy Lady :) and also to help us setup our first dance as the dance from Pulp Fiction. He totally read the room and we loved the music he chose for the reception. He stuck to our choices from the music survey, which we appreciated! With Ivy Hill, we didn't get a cheesy wedding DJ, we had an ACTUAL musician who is insanely talented (at our wedding! I can't get over it!). We were also extremely lucky to have Paul Thomas from The Sound Objective as our dedicated engineer throughout the entire event. We couldn’t have gotten through the event without him! He was wonderful! Leading up to the wedding, the Ivy Hill staff was a pleasure work with. We really appreciate Tim, Paul and the Ivy Hill staff for making our day even more special than we could've imagined!

Ivy Hill was so great to work with for our ceremony music. Our New Classics string duo of Terre and team played absolutely beautiful music, both classical and modern twists. Paul’s audio engineering ensured every last moment was heard and captured. Wesley, Matt, and Danielle were so easy to plan and communicate through planning our event. 100% recommend for your event!

Ivy Hill was a pleasure to work with. They provided mic and speaker setup for our rehearsal dinner and a playlist for the rehearsal. They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I would recommend.

SWAN ENTERTAINMENT REVIEWS

Daniel and Michelle were wonderful to work with!! From helping me find the right band for our event (Neon Velvet) to covering up a paper trail to keep my husband in the dark (this was for a surprise party). My husband was shocked, he LOVED the band, and our guests were up dancing for the entire time. Everything went smoothly and I was very impressed with the band's professionalism. Fantastic booking company. We will be using them again in the future.

Daniel is a long time professional representing many of the most talented bands for special events. We've hired his groups for weddings, corporate events, fundraisers / galas and nightclub performances multiple times, and we can always count on him, his team and his bands for an extraordinarily high quality experience. It is a true sure shot to work with him: integrity, creativity, execution and fun.

We booked Fleetwood Mask for my husband's 50th birthday party and it was a HUGE success! The band was AWESOME and if you are Fleetwood Mac fans, then this is the band for you! As well as being talented with their cover, they were entertaining IN the crowd to keep things moving along! Michelle at Swan Entertainment made booking the event easy and a joy.
