    Great to work with, and an awesome band!

    After Forest Hill played at my sister's wedding last year, I didn't even consider another band for my own wedding. Mason and the band were terrific, and they really made the day. Planning was a breeze, and Mason was super responsive and great to work with. The band was awesome, and our families are still talking about how great they were!

    Danced all night!

    We are so happy we went with Forest Hill! Everyone raved about how talented and fun they were - you can tell they are so passionate about what they do. Even during the months leading up to our wedding, Mason was always so responsive and open to chatting. Little did we expect them to but they even managed to learn 2 of our favorite songs for us! It was one of the best surprises of the day and really helped end our night in the best way possible with all of our loved ones. You can't go wrong with Forest Hill!

    The Best Wedding Band In Virginia!

    The Forest Hill Band went above and beyond to make our special day the most magical experience ever! Their professionalism was unmatched and my husband and I felt so relaxed on the wedding day, knowing they were handling everything with ease and swiftness. Mason was with us throughout our engagement and was tentative to our style and expectations. They were very detail-oriented, and gave us an in-depth list and timeline for the wedding day. The day went by so seamlessly and was planned so meticulously without a hitch. My husband and I had a private dance at the end of the wedding and the band surprised us by learning the song that we wanted to dance to and absolutely blew us away with their performance! We cannot rave enough about how impressive the Forest Hill Band was and would recommend them to anyone that wants to have their guests on the dance floor all night long!

    Incredible Time

    Thank you guys so much! It was an absolute blast and all everyone can talk about is how much fun y’all were. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding where not a single person was sitting…the dance floor was packed! Couldn’t have asked for a better time! Thank you all again 👏🏼👏🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼

    Best Wedding Band

    Forest Hill is awesome. I remember them from my college days when they played as the Shack Band. They were incredible then and even better now. They kept the dance floor rocking all night and their versions of songs are even better than originals. Cannot recommend and thank them enough!

    Perfect Energy & Phenomenally Talented

    Every member of the band is tremendous at what they do. They brought an unbelievable energy to the party, were extremely conscientious of our requests & wants/needs, and above all are simply outstanding performers. Mason is also an excellent MC and perfectly grounded the "in-between" moments of the reception, dinner, first dances, etc.

    Thank you Forest Hill! You rock!

    We can't say enough good things about Forest Hill Band! All of our guests raved about how incredible the music was from the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We wanted everyone to be on the dance floor for the whole reception and the band delivered with keeping the party going. It was so fun to watch you the band play together because they really have so much chemistry together. We highly recommend anyone considering them. They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and truly played such a key part in making our wedding day so amazing.

    Forest Hill was amazing.

    Forest Hill was amazing. They did such a great job at our wedding, from ceremony music/audio to cocktail hour audio to our entrance song to dinner music to first dance song rendition to banger after banger on the dance floor all night long. They were professional, well prepared, and are incredibly talented musicians. We cannot thank them enough for making the night one we and our guests will never forget. Many thanks to Forest Hill and the ECE team that made it possible.

    You will not regret booking this band

    It has been about two weeks since our big day and everyone has not been able to stop talking about how great Forest Hill was! One of our guests came up to me during the reception and said I didn’t realize I was coming to a concert tonight! I am not kidding, someone texted me yesterday asking the name again! I would highly recommend this band! Mason was a great communicator throughout the planning process which was much appreciated. The band was SO FUN and you could really tell they love what they do. We could not stop smiling and dancing the whole night. Thank you so much for making our night the absolute best!

    Outstanding!

    The Forest Hill Band exceeded all of our expectations. They played a wide variety of songs that entertained our guests for the entire reception. The saxophone is an awesome and unique addition to the band. All of our guests raved about the band and how much they enjoyed it. They were easy to work with and very attentive to our requests. They come with our highest recommendation.

    Best Wedding Band!!

    Forest Hill is a must for your wedding! They are professional, kind, and truly care about making your wedding exactly what you want it to be. We saw them at a friends wedding and knew we had to have them and are so glad we did! They engaged the crowd so well, played awesome music, and were extremely memorable to both us and our guests. Nothing but praise for this group!!! They go above and beyond.

    Wedding band - forest Hill/Shack Band

    Had multiple people say it was the best wedding they’d ever been to, because the band absolutely killed it. They were high energy, the dance floor was full from start to finish and they even played an encore song at the request of the crowd. So awesome.

    Wow! What a Night!!!

    We booked Forest Hill Band for our Wedding with about 170+ guests (of all ages) and they were AMAZING! Mason and crew were so professional, really accommodating and everyone loved them. They are the perfect mix of a musicians, and great singers who were happy to play to the party and felt the energy of the crowd- everything from jam band tunes, Motown/Funk, 80s, and 90s tunes. We used 2 musicians for our special wedding ceremony and another for the piano cocktail hour- they can do it all! I’ve had so many comments from guests today saying how fantastic these guys were and loved being on the dance floor all night! No hesitation in recommending them and we know we will see them again soon! Thank you so much!

    Amazing music and amazing people!

    Not only were we thrilled with Forest Hill but our guests were so impressed with their performance! Mason from Forest Hill was a pleasure to work with and made everything so easy for us both in preparation and on the day of our reception. After a month and a half, our friends and family are still raving about Forest Hill and how much fun they were. Some even said their covers were better than the original songs! We would recommend Forest Hill to anyone who is looking for a fun band for their reception.

    Also, Mason's suggestion for an acoustic dinner set was incredible and really set the mood while people were eating.

    They played at a volume that allowed for conversation when folks weren't dancing and everyone had such a good time because of their awesome song selection and sequencing.

    10/10, can't wait to get married again so we can see them live one more time!!

    Perfection - Seriously!

    These guys nailed it - Seriously! Best wedding band you could imagine. They kept the crowd engaged and dancing the entire time during their 2 main sets with party favorite covers - good banter between songs - and an overall energetic vibe that was impossible to ignore! In addition to executing the main event - they were incredible to work with on the front end offering their expertise and advice on the setup, flow, and timeline. They nailed it top to bottom with Hunter playing an acoustic set during the cocktail hour - to Mason DJ/MC’ing the entire event including our pre-ceremony playlist, ceremony songs, grand entrance, and the parent dances. Essentially they covered the entertainment start to finish. Could not recommend them more - if you get the opportunity to add the female vocals don’t sleep on that - she’s a rockstar! Thank you again Forrest Hill for a night to remember!!!!

    Fabulous Band!

    Josh and Mason communicated with us regularly leading up to our wedding. They were very responsive and accommodating to all our last-minute changes. Everyone loved the band, they matched the vibe of the venue and our guests perfectly. We loved having them play. Two different guests reached out afterward about using them for an upcoming event. Definitely, worth it, I can't imagine the day without the music they provided.

    Incredible band!

    Being a musician, choosing a band was one of the most important decisions for our wedding. We wanted a band that was not just another carbon copy wedding band and we could not have made a better choice! Our friends and family couldn't believe how incredible they were! This band is super talented, professional, and was so easy to work with. They covered the music and mc’ing for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without a hitch. They play with soul, know how to work the crowd, and kept everyone on their feet all night. Their song selection was a great mix of older and newer tunes of all genres, but it honestly didn’t matter what they were playing because everything was so well done. They catered perfectly to the vibe of our reception throughout the night (including a very cool arrangement of our first dance) and also, I am a stickler for good sound and their sound engineer did an amazing job as well. We are still talking about how good they were a month later! Don’t hesitate to hire Forest Hill - I promise they will exceed your expectations!

    Professional & Soulful!

    Forest Hill was a non-negotiable at our wedding after seeing them play at multiple friends’ weddings, and other social events. They bring the good vibes with their energetic and soulful sets - would recommend them to anyone who loves to get down to some funky music. Pretty sure some of our engaged friends are going to hire them, as well, after seeing them play at our wedding. Mason was incredibly professional and responsive, and an overall treat to work with. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

    Forest Hill stole the show!

    I expected Forest Hill to be great after seeing the samples on their website, but great didn't do them justice. The absolutely killed it at our wedding. We couldn't decide who was the best member of the band because they are all so talented in different ways. From the sax, to the guitar solos, to different singers taking the lead on different songs, to the drummer being cool enough for me (the groom) to get up on stage and take over the drums for a song, they had everyone at the wedding having a good time, which was our #1 goal. They played the oldies so well that the young guests loved em, and played the recent hits so well that the older guests enjoyed them as well.

    Mason was my point of contact leading up to it and he was so chill and understanding about what we were looking for, and was so flexible for some of our more unique requests.

    I've been to many weddings, and even though this was my own, they were the best wedding band I can remember. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Amazing band

    Forest Hill was incredible!

    First and foremost, they are extremely talented. Our guests commented multiple times that they would go to a concert where Forest Hill was playing, that's how great they were.

    Moreover, they were so accommodating and listened to everything we asked for. We have pretty specific taste in music and wanted a laid back vibe for the evening and they nailed it. They went out of their way to learn a handful of songs that were special to us for the processional and recession 2 weeks before the wedding - they did this no questions asked.

    If you are looking for a super talented, responsive, and nice band, this group is for you! Cannot recommend highly enough.

    Incredible Night

    This band provides the best live music money can buy for a wedding! They play to their crowd. They played two long sets for us with an encore and the energy was incredible. They setup a PA for the ceremony, music, microphones for officiant and speakers. Very responsive and easy to deal with and will cater to anything you need.

    A dream to work with

    We are beyond thrilled to have Forest Hill as our wedding band. Mason was so helpful and courteous and made the planning process so easy for us. The band sounded awesome and our guests raved about them. We didn't want a typical "top 40"/"motown" band that we see at a lot of weddings and they really made it unique to our style. I would highly recommend!

    This band is so engaging and knows how to get the party going! There was no lapse between them starting and everyone being on the dance floor. These fellas and ladies know how to get everyone excited for an event and we cannot recommend them enough!

    Without a doubt, the most fun wedding band ever!

    Forest Hill played our wedding last weekend and absolutely knocked it out of the park. They are a group of highly professional and incredibly talented musicians who know how to cater to an audience perfectly. Be it classic rock, motown funk, hip hop (the list goes on), Forest Hill’s performance at our wedding had every guest commenting on how amazing the music was. Neither my wife nor I have ever seen a wedding dance floor so full.

    Run, don't walk to book Forest Hill!

    Forest Hill made our wedding night SUCH a blast. We have received countless compliments about how fun our reception was and it was all because of this band. Not only did Hunter play amazing acoustic music for our ceremony, Mason was a fun emcee and perfectly announced our entrances, speeches, etc. At the end of the night after playing two great sets of music that had everyone on the dance floor, they even got my husband and I on the stage to sing karaoke style--honestly a highlight of our night. Seriously BOOK THIS BAND, they rock and I can't recommend them enough.
