The BEST band ever!!! Truly made our night unforgettable!

We can’t say enough good things about Mason and Forest Hill. They absolutely made our wedding night; every single person was RAVING about them! The energy was electric from start to finish, and you could feel how much they love what they do. They read the room perfectly, kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and made everything feel so special.

That last dance surprise song was unreal; we were both SOBBING in the best way. It was the most perfect ending to the best night of our lives. Forest Hill are beyond talented, so genuine, and such a joy to work with. We feel so lucky to have had them be part of our day.

If you’re even thinking about booking them, do it. You’ll be talking about it forever.

Just hire Forest Hill and you won't regret it--the best band!!

Forest Hill couldn't have been more easy to work with from start to finish. During the planning phase, they were extremely communicative and a pleasure to collaborate with. They were open to any song ideas and preferences that my clients had, and were always very enthusiastic to make the experience personalized and enjoyable. On the wedding day, the band arrived on time, setup was done according to plans and they were very self-sufficient. They did a great job making announcements during the reception and most of all, they were SO MUCH FUN. Phenomenal energy, able to read the crowd, crazy talent in every member, and we heard from many guests how amazing they were. I work with a lot of bands and this was by far my favorite experience and can't recommend them enough! Don't look any further for your wedding band.

May Become Wedding Crashers Just to See Forest Hill Again

Forest Hill is THE wedding band if you like good music and want everyone to have a great time. After seeing them at several previous weddings we didn't even consider other options when it came time to book ours. Guests who hadn't seen them before were raving about them all night. Even some of my family members who never participate in the dancing were on the dance floor the majority of the night. They were very receptive to our song requests and went out of their way to learn a new song for us, and the set list they created fit our vibe perfectly. Mason was very communicative during the planning stages, making the music something we had zero worries about amidst the other stressful aspects of wedding planning. Could not have asked for a better performance, we are so grateful!!

Wedding Band

We had Forest Hill Duo for our ceremony, the Trio for our cocktail hour and the whole band for the reception. Our only regret is we didn’t have more time to just hang and listen to the tunes.

Mason could not have been easier to work with or more responsive. From song selections to knowing the vibe we wanted to running the show on game day, he was the perfect point person.

We are trying to get our friends and family with upcoming weddings to book Forest Hill.

Amazing !!

BEST WEDDING BAND EVER! It was a perfect day and it just wouldn’t have been possible without Forest Hill! You all were amazing! All of our guests were out of their seats from the start and are still talking about how much they loved your music ! Fun is infectious and Forest Hill got everyone on the dance floor to the point where we had to move tables to make more room for the dancers. We really appreciated all of the time you took in planning the play lists focused around the music we loved. (Spanish Moon, are you kidding me?)

From the very beginning, working with East Coast Entertainment, we knew Forest Hill was the band for us! Mason guided us through the planning and handled the MC’ing without a hitch. They played beautiful music for the ceremony, a great acoustic set for the cocktail hour and two and a half hours of dance music where absolutely no one left the dance floor!
You are an extremely talented and top notch group. We were impressed by your set up team, sound crew, and overall professionalism.
Thanks for making this day truly unforgettable

Don’t Think Twice

Forest Hill Band was the crown jewel of our wedding! They are a pleasure to work with and made the booking process simple and seamless. They went above and beyond, incorporating personal details that made the performance special and unique to us while simultaneously playing music that anyone can dance to and enjoy. Several of our guests gushed over the band, saying that Forest Hill Band set a new bar for wedding bands. It’s evident that they’ve been playing together for a long time. Both vocalists are fantastic, the stage setup is legit, and the sound quality was amazing. You simply cannot go wrong booking this band!!

Greatest wedding band imaginable

Truly could not have asked for a better experience with a wedding band. The number one thing that people said to me after the wedding was how great the band was. They had people dancing and also did a great job communicating with us ahead of the wedding. Thanks so much to forest hill for an incredible night!

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!
