We had been to several weddings that fell short in the music and dancing category, and we knew from the very beginning of our wedding planning process that hiring a great band was our top priority. We hate when a great group of guests who are supposed to be happy and celebrating and letting loose just hang around the bar or their dinner tables, and an empty dance floor was not an option for our wedding. We wanted all of our guests, not just the young ones and not just the old-timers, to have FUN, and we wanted the momentum of the celebration to last throughout our entire reception. Hiring Attraction (formerly BS&M) was the single BEST decision we made in planning our wedding!! This band delivered in every respect!!

The 9 piece band was high-energy from the very start of our reception! Their song list is incredibly extensive, and we had a great time combing through Attracion's long list to send them our "must-have" and "do-not play" songs about 4 weeks before our wedding. We requested a few songs that were not on their list, and they obliged without hesitation. They even played very current songs that you may not expect a wedding band to have learned already, and Attraction's singers sound exactly like the artists who sing the original songs!

Dave Barton, the band's manager, was a real PLEASURE to deal with throughout the wedding planning process. His responses to our messages/requests were timely, he and the band were very flexible with last minute itinerary changes for the course of the evening, and we were very touched by his constant enthusiasm about our wedding.

When we say that Attraction made our wedding everything we wanted it to be, this is no exaggeration. Our moms, our dads, elderly guests, those guests who "never dance at weddings" and, of course, our younger set of 30-something friends were dancing up a storm during our entire reception! We many guests doing the craziest dance moves and were stunned by what Attraction was able to draw out from our group!! Take a look at some of the photos on our profile - the dance moves say it all. Everyone RAVED that ours was the best wedding band they had ever heard! Attraction is worth every penny and we could not recommend this band enough. They will make your celebration unforgettable!!

My only regret is that I did not reach out sooner to the band to give them more suggestions on things we did or did not want to hear. But they were fantastic, even with the limited feedback we gave in advance. The crowd was engaged, the party was totally energized and I look forward to hiring these guys again for a party soon. They are masters at what they do.

Attraction was the MAIN ATTRACTION at our wedding! They made the night!! Played perfect music, engaged with the guests in a perfect way, and made it a true party and celebration. They are fantastic. Simple as that. You will LOVE them -- from the planning through the night of -- best band I have ever heard at a wedding. Lucky for me, it was my own wedding! I couldn't hold them in a higher regard. Simply the best!

We had Attraction at our wedding and could not have been happier with the show they delivered. Dave Barton, the band leader, was professional and easy to work with. I supplied a song list in advance and many of the songs were played. The band learned a song for us which was our first dance song and it sounded fantastic. The band was high energy, read the crowd well and the dance floor was packed all night. Would highly recommend them!

BS&M band was incredible - people still talk to us about how great they were 5 months after our wedding. The dance floor was packed and they were great at reading the crowd and keeping the party going. Highly recommend them!

I'm feeling guilty about all the glowing reviews but the band, BS & M was a hit! The dance floor was packed with 20 somethings to 50 somethings. BS& M followed the suggested playlist, added other great music and was incredibly energetic all night long. We would hire them for any occasion as they were able to play a wide variety of music. We worked with Andy Jasper at Sam Hill Entertainment to secure BS & M. He was very prompt in replying to our questions. He recommended BS & M to the newlyweds. Great Combo, BS&M and Sam Hill Entertainment.

Kept the crowd on the dance floor all night! We had such fun with them, and they learned the three songs we asked them to learn very well. Highly recommended!

Can you book this band? You should!
We found out about them through Andy at Sam Hill Entertainment. He knew they were good, and he was right! They were terrific! I was not sure if people would dance and the only thing I regret is not getting a bigger dance floor. Our guests loved them and they were worth every penny! They are a big band, 8 or 9 people, with a great lead singer, Dave Barton. Really really responsive from the beginning. They played the songs we requested, they got involved with our guests. I wish I was getting married again just so I could use them!!

BS&M was honestly a highlight of our wedding. The guests, across all generations, truly enjoyed their playlist. Their energy on stage was contagious, and kept the night going and the guests dancing!

Dave Barton was always easy to get in touch with, and accommodating of our special requests. Their playlist is extensive, but they are always willing to learn something new (free of charge) should they have enough advance time.

The group requires little break time (understanding that the music is key for keeping the party going) and was nothing but professional. I recommend them for any event. They will impress!
