Matt and Ivy Hill were awesome!!

Matt Roads and Ivy Hill Entertainment performed the MC, band booking/management and audio tech for our wedding on 9/21/19, and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Matt was very communicative and accommodating throughout the planning process, and made coordination with our band, venue, and wedding planner very easy.

We definitely recommend Matt/Ivy Hill for any band/music booking, MC or audio tech activities!

Ivy Hill Entertainment (IHE) made our wedding dream come true. Ivy Hill is not a company, but a community of real local musicians who genuinely love their craft. That's a great place to start if you're looking for someone who will care about your wedding experience, sound quality, and the music that becomes the soundtrack to your wedding moments!

Brian Bergeron is a co-founder of IHE and picked up the call for our wedding. It was an honor working with him from the start. He jumped on an inquiry call with me even as he was away on vacation in Mexico at the time. Brian followed up with an excellent quote to help make our dreams happen and accommodated so many of our needs within budget - He wasn't selling to me as a client, he was partnering with me as a fellow musician who wanted to see a vision come to life. IHE partnered with Paul Thomas from A Sound Objective to ensure the most seamless and best quality ceremony we could have. 

As a fellow musician and audiophile, I was keen on having professional quality audio for our event from beginning to end. Paul and Brian took personal time on a weekday to conduct a detailed walk-through at the venue, assessed our sound needs, and communicated them clearly with me thereafter. They were not only transparent at every stage of the planning process, they also made great recommendations to ensure a top-notch quality experience for us and our guests.

These guys are the real deal. They are professional, passionate, and genuinely kind people. Having done thorough vendor research for sound and music support for our wedding, I can honestly say we could not have found a better partnership. Ivy Hill Entertainment and A Sound Objective truly helped make our dream come true. They have my highest recommendation.

We hired Ivy Hill Entertainment to provide a band/live music for our wedding and reception. I worked directly with Brian on the details and we were so pleased to have Brian and The Harvest Acoustic Trio at our wedding. Brian was wonderful to work with and so accommodating. The music they played throughout our wedding day truly set the mood and made our day even more magical. Thanks Brian and Ivy Hill!

Highly Recommended, Quality Entertainment: Ivy Hill Entertainment truly is a “one stop music & entertainment shop.” From working in events, I understand that heartfelt, professional, seamless entertainment is a key part to creating a memorable celebration. It brings people together, inspires guests, & sets the tone of your party. Ivy Hill Entertainment definitely stands out as the BEST. From the moment of contact to execution we had an amazing experience that was fun, stress free, collaborative, easy, & QUALITY. Ivy Hill has many options on how to book talent - actually super talent. You can hire anyone from a dope DJ to solo musician to the 9-musician “build-a-band” act we employed. My initial contact was Brian Bergeron who not only understood our vision, but encouraged us to make it happen. He was just as excited as we were! In fact, that’s what stands out about Ivy Hill - their passion for music & events. They love their job & are honored to be part of your event.

Ivy Hill also offers such quality musicians! I couldn't believe we had all these cool people playing our wedding! The best part is that whatever you decide to book - whether it be an intimate musical vibe, dope DJ, or full-blown band - they deliver a memorable performance & professional experience. For our wedding, they supplied everything from the sound technician, musical equipment, speakers, musicians, & even an amazing Bandleader extraordinaire: Jon Devoto. Each musician brought lots of flavor & style. It was like a mini-musical festival. This team is full of talent & heart. They also have a big network of musicians so don't worry about flaky musicians or no-shows. If someone gets sick, their resources to ensure you are set. I trust them implicitly. I never worried after booking them. Communication was clear & timely. We were in-line every step of the way. As you can see form their website, Ivy Hill Entertainment has a lot to offer. They exceeded our already high expectations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
