"It was once said "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." The Bryan family is very grateful to Summerdaze for making our Wedding reception absolutely wonderful! Mitch was very interested in making sure the band played exactly what our daughter and future son-in-law wanted to hear. Many people at the reception wanted to know how we found such a wonderful band. Their music brings all the generations together for a night to remember. This family will remember it for years to come." July 24th 2010 | Mary Bryan-The Bryan/Costner Wedding Reception at the Upcountry Museum, Greenville, SC


"The crowd in Mount Holly tonight really enjoyed the variety of music that was played for our Alive After Five concert series. SummerDaze is a wonderful group and keeps the crowd going the entire time. During their 2 breaks they played great taped music in the background. This group is so easy to work with and are interested in pleasing the crowd for which they are playing. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a great band....they are on time, great sound system, and are such a pleasant group of people. We will use them again in the future!" July 15th 2010 | Carol Featherstone-President/Holly Days


"You all did a great job! Thanks for the variety and energy you put behind every concert. We appreciate you here and look forward to the next time. Take special care and hope to see you again soon." July 4th 2010 | Barbara Faulk-Executive Director/Union County Arts Council

I can’t believe how fast the night went, must be because it was so much fun. Everyone loved the music…from the kids, to my grandparents! It was absolutely perfect. We can’t wait to have another party, so we can have you guys back again! Thanks again for everything!"
May 2010 | Jack and Lindsay Lewis wedding held at "Yates Home" - Lake Norman, NC


"Mitch and the summerdaze band were absolutly amazing. Mitch was so easy to work with regarding every aspect of our wedding. I would have to say the band was the best choice we made when it came to entertaining our guests. Everyone loved them and kept asking where they were from. I have a four year old little girl and it meant the world to me that they allowed her to play her guitar and as she would say "rock out with them". They definately rocked out and did not let the questionable weather slow them down. Thanks to Summerdaze for helping make our day so perfect."
May 2010 | Dr. and Ms. Nikki Stewart | Lenoir ,NC

"Mitch Simpson and the Summerdaze Band were very professional and kept the party going all night. Mitch was great to work with - very flexible to last minute changes to the reception timeline. I highly recommend this band if you want a great party for your wedding!"
May 2010 | Pinehurst Members Club | Pinehurst, N.C. | Vickie Fletcher/Professional Wedding Consultant/Elegant Weddings in Carolinas

"The County Police are looking for you and the Summerdaze Band.... everyone felt you guys stole the show on Friday night at our Down Home Festival.

After a three year relationship of having Summerdaze play at our festival, it always seem like the first time. I look forward to having you here again soon"
May 2010 | Jo-D Franklin, Parks and Recreation Director | Bessemer City, N.C.

" You guys were awesome...I feel like I made the best choice for my event..SummerDaze was the highlight of my reception! They played music that got the whole room up and dancing- which I didn't think could be done with our crowd! I am so happy that I had Summer Daze to make my reception magical- I highly recommend them for ANY event!"
April 2010 | Courtney Morrison |Palisades Country Club-Charlotte,N.C.

"Mitch, thanks again to you and Summerdaze for the fantastic job, as always, at
this year's Christmas pary. Ray and I really enjoyed everything but "Thomas
Petroleum Man" was our favortie!! You could tell Jacquie's back problems were
NOT a problem this year, I can't imagine how she lost that earring! You know we
had people coming from other rooms to find out "Who" our band was, you are just
that great! Jacquie and Kathy want equal time next year with "Those Thomas
Petroleum Women"! Thank for the great show!"
January, 2 2010 | Kelly Thomas | Thomas Petroleum Party

"Thank you and your gang SO MUCH for the great time had by all last night. Your music selections were perfect, and we have had nothing but praise for the band. The only complaint was that everyone had sore feet! Thanks again, Happy New Year, and we hope to see you in Wytheville again soon."
December 26, 2009 | Iron Boots Dance | Fred Mason-Iron Boots Society | Wytheville,Va.

“The band was so musically flexible (commodores, rolling stones, black eyed peas, Jimi Hendrix) professional, personable and you guys sound so great. I love the fact that the musicians left the stage and played along side dancing guest. You really kept the party going and the dance floor full. To my surprise, you performed songs I honestly didn't think a band could pull off but you did it. I also need to mention that you catered to the wishes of the Bride and her family, even down to singing a very hard Journey song. I can't say enough about Summerdaze and I look forward to working with you again in April 2010. You were truly a pleasant surprise and a pleasure. You are definitely a preferred vendor in my book. Thank you again Mitch and Summerdaze.”
October 2009 | Ivy Honeycutt | Bridal Consultant/Owner-The Silk Veil Wedding & Event Planners | Gaston Country Club

“You and your band exceeded expectations! You were absolutely wonderful to work with. And, I know that the guests enjoyed your music as evidenced by their enthusiasm on the dance floor. I loved your ending with "Shout." That worked perfectly! And I also liked how when it was time for the last dance, you went right into it seamlessly. You and your band members are truly professionals Thank you for making my job easy!”
October 2009 | Carol Rinehardt | Wedding Planner "I do etc, Inc. | Langely-Heberle wedding | Greensboro, N.C.

"Our daughter's wedding called for some special entertainment. We found the perfect band in Summerdaze! They were great! Their sound, song selection and audience engagement is just the best! All our guests, young, old and in-between, raved about them. They are delightful to work with and really understand how to please the customer. If you're looking for a band to entertain at a special event you just can't do better than Summerdaze!"
October 2009 | Doris and Bill Langley | O'Henry Hotel | Charlotte, N.C.

“We were ecstatic to have such a wonderful band at our wedding reception. The entire crew worked through pouring rain and various obstacles to make our wedding reception the night of our dreams. All of my guests have been raving about the band and their ability to play ANYTHING and sound spectacular while doing it! We cannot thank them enough for all of the hard work and time they spent to make our wedding fabulous. We are so blessed to have found this amazing group of people and wouldn't recommend anyone else for your special day!“
September 2009 | Nicole and Ryan Appleby | Raffidini Vineyards | Rhonda, N.C.

“We had Summerdaze band for our 2009 Member Guest Golf Tournament. Everybody enjoyed their music. They offered a little of everything. The band established a very friendly rapport with the audience.

September 2009 | Robyn Neal | Deep Springs Country Club | Stoneville, N.C.

“It's been two weeks now since Summerdaze rocked our son’s wedding reception and my legs just can't stop dancing! Mitch, Cassie, Adam, Dave, Shaun, Scot, you guys are like family to us now! We can't thank you enough for helping to make our kid's special day a MOST memorable occasion! And a special thank you for mastering our newlywed's favorite romantic song. You performed it as if it were your very own. Tears of joy were all around! Your mix of music and interaction with our dancing family and friends made for a comfortable celebration. You guys come highly recommended! You're a walk-off GRAND SLAM!!!! “
August 2009 | Paul and Lynn Darcy | Fowler/Darcy wedding | Rock Hill, S.C.

"Everyone is still raving about what an outstanding performance Summerdaze put on. It was fun to watch the bands interaction with the crowd and listen to the variety of music that you played. Your talent is amazing and we appreciated the professionalism. Looking forward to having you back for our outdoor music events in September and October"!"
August 2009 | Mary Anne Richards | Park Specialty Shoppes | Aston Properties, Charlotte, N.C.

"Summerdaze worked with me at a wedding reception recently. It was a joy to work with them. All of the members of the band were courteous, professional and the music was outstanding. They got rave reviews from everyone at the reception, and I was praised for locating them. I have worked as a wedding planner for the last 18 years in upstate South Carolina. I am very pleased to add
Summerdaze to my list of preferred vendors."
June 2009 | Dianne Neely | Shaddrix Reception-UpCountry Museum | Greenville, S.C.

"Landon and I want to thank you so much for the perfect wedding ceremony and reception. We were so pleased with Rankin Sound for all they did to make the sound perfect for the outdoor ceremony, the band did an amazing job on the reception. We had so many raves about how awesome you guys were! The 1st dance to “At Last” was amazing; she really did an awesome job singing that song. Then for my father daughter dance “I loved her first” was so unforgettable to me and my father. Thank you so much for making this an awesome memory for us and our families. We will definitly suggest you guys to anyone looking for a band! Good luck to you all, we wish you the best of luck in the future!Thank you again! Love"
May 2009 | Leslie and Landon Bolick | Rose Hill Estates in Aiken, S.C.

"Thank you for being so professional. All the comments were great about the music. I've told everybody about you and how great ya'll were to work with. The set-up crew was very professional and dead on time for everything they done. Best sound for the Pastor and music I've ever heard at an outside wedding. Landon and Lesli was very happy with all ya'll done. Thanks again and I'll be glad to write a review."
May 2009 | Ray Griffin | Rose Hill Estates in Aiken, S.C.

"We booked Summerdaze for my daughters wedding in Charlotte. On the surface here is what we found:

"Bob and I want to thank Summerdaze for making our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined! They kept everyone dancing and lots of people have said that they were the best band that they had ever heard perform at a wedding. Bob had an absolute blast performing SHOUT with the band and we can't wait to see the video! It was definitely a pleasure to work with Mitch and we would recommend the band to anyone. Thanks for making our night so special!"
May 2009 | Nancy Margaret and Bob | Cypress Center in Manning, S.C.

"Summerdaze gave a great performance at our "Pigs in the Park" BBQ Cook-Off this year. They played a great variety of dance hits and beach music keeping the crowd engaged and involved throughout the concert. We can't wait to have them back for future events!"
May 1, 2009 | Tonya Edwards | Recreation Superintendent
Monroe Parks and Recreation/Monroe, N.C.

April 25, 2009 | Minda Kleinsmith wedding reception | Little Switzerland,N.C.

"Chris and I had a phenomenal time at our wedding reception-as did everyone we’ve talked to-and it was in large part because of Summerdaze. Everyone was dancing, all the time…exactly what we wanted! It’s not easy to keep a crowd dancing that includes Californians and Carolinians, lawyers and high school students, Shaggers and shufflers… But Summerdaze did it! The band’s energy and execution across genres had Uncle Frank getting’ down to Louie Louie, Maid of Honor Leilani salsa’ing her heart out, and the father of the bride shagging to the Tams with his daughter in the most touching and impressive number of the reception. Thank you for setting the tone at our reception and transforming a rented room into an unforgettable party! Mitch, thanks again, everyone had an awesome time!"
March 2009 | Erin and Chris DiNero | Winston Salem, N.C.

"Although the rain kept the crowds under umbrellas and tents, you could see their feet tapping, bodies swaying and lips moving to the music being played by Summerdaze. Their performance was a bright spot on our otherwise rain drenched BBQ Cookoff. Summerdaze was extremely accommodating and professional and they played great music! Will I use them again? Absolutely!"
March 2009 | Allison Harvey | Bordertown BBQ Cookoff | Town of Clover

“We were thrilled with Summerdaze and their performance at our 47th Heart Ball. They did a fabulous job of engaging our guests and playing songs that everyone enjoyed. They are very talented musicians, and true professionals.”
February 2009 | Renee Anthony/Gaston County Heart Ball | Gastonia,N.C.

"Summerdaze is one of the most professional, polite, and hardest working bands that we have the pleasure of working with. Musically, they hold the crowd and make sure that everyone has fun. Their wide range of music styles and songs make them perfect to play for any style of event. Summerdaze is truly a pleasure to work with. There are never any attitudes or conflicts. They are just a lot of fun!"
Uptown Event Productions | Charlotte,N.C. (worked with Summerdaze on two different occasions December 2007 and September 2008)

“We cannot say enough about Summerdaze. They played our awards dinner in Hilton Head and were by far the best and most professional band we have ever had. Mitch and his band accommodated all of our needs, were professional and extremely talented!. Through out our entire evening our guests commented on how great the band was. This is not your ordinary dance band, they are exceptional. We would love to use them again for our next function.”
January 2009 | Susi Rambler Day/United Professional Horseman's Association | HIlton Head, S.C.

“Our very special corporate dinner party attended by over 100 colleagues of all ages and backgrounds from around the world was planned to be a first-class event and Summerdaze fit right into that requirement. They were the icing on the cake providing appropriately classy dinner music and then get-up-on-your-feet dance numbers. Their pleasant professionalism puts them at the top of my charts and I would recommend Summerdaze to make any event a hit.”
December 2008 | Ann Young, Exec. Assistant & Event Manager /Erhardt + Leimer Inc. | Duncan, S.C.

“. . . the requests from the crowd that were performed as if they had been planned were awesome! Dang, you guys are good! We have a “very” diverse group and Summerdaze always manages to give everybody a good helping of what they personally enjoy, especially the boss.”
December 2008 | Jacquie Johnson/Thomas Petroleum Company | Shelby, N.C.

“You all were fabulous! I hope we have you back soon. Happy Holidays !! Cheers, Nathan”
November 22nd, 2008 | Nathan Hoffman, Private Party Director/Charlotte City Club | Charlotte, N.C.

“Summerdaze far and away exceeded our expectations! We couldn't have picked a better band for our wedding reception. They offered a great variety of songs that kept the dance floor full all night and played each song with so much energy. They had a great cocktail hour set that worked perfectly as drinks and hors d'oeuvres were being passed. And once dinner was over, the mix of music was just enough to get everyone on the floor! Even more impressive was the flexibility and genuine desire to make our evening special that sets Summerdaze apart. We would strongly recommend them for any reception or event, and based on the numerous comments we received from our guests, they would also!”
November 22nd, 2008 | Justin & Stacy Hall-Hall/Lenarcic Wedding | Charlotte City Club | Charlotte,N.C.

“I've honestly, in my 40+ years of being in this business, never witnessed a band that was so versatile and was so accurate at reading its audience. Playing for a club creates unique challenges for any band, after all, our clientele consists of young members, middle aged members and older members. Somehow you not only found a way to keep the dance floor filled, but managed to receive high acclaim from ALL of our members at the end of the night. Kudos to you, and to your incredible musicians. I don't dare trust the talents of another band, after all, the members have come to be very attached to Summerdaze.”
November 15th, 2008 | Robin Hood/Piper Glen Country Club | Charlotte, N.C.

“We absolutely loved having Summer Daze work for us a second time. The first event was wonderful and the second event was even better. You are so professional and nice to work with and I haven't even mentioned extremely talented. Our widely diversified VIP list was treated to a very entertaining evening. The variety of music was perfect....you made sure there was something for every group to enjoy. I appreciate your pre-planning to make sure you knew your audience. You guys are awesome! Thank you!”
September 11th, 2008 | Ms. Ann Stanton/Gastonia McDonald’s Grand Opening | Gastonia,N.C.

“I would totally endorse the Summerdaze band for your event. From the onset, Summerdaze worked with us before our event identifying the music we wanted to listen to during our reception. The setup went flawless - the Summerdaze guys were exceptional even in light of the hotel creating a smaller window of time (for setup) than expected and the reception itself was a blast. Our guests went non-stop when it came to the dancing. Beginning to end, Mitch and the group were so easy to work with and made our wedding day perfect”
September 2008 | Lisa Marie Huls-Fry/Wedding Reception | Charlotte,N.C.

“The SummerDaze band played at our June 14th wedding reception. Most people comment on the food at your wedding, but EVERYONE commented on how much they loved the band. I was so nervous about everyone dancing at the reception, but before I knew it everyone was up, including my 98-year-old grandmother! The band was so professional and wonderful to deal with. Mitch always replied to my calls and e-mails right away and he helped in easing the “pre-wedding planning stress." Their set list has such a wide range of songs that everyone will enjoy. I would recommend The SummerDaze band to anyone and everyone who is planning a special occasion. They really made our special day one to remember.”
June 2008 | Katie Averil/Averil Wedding | Winston Salem,N.C.

“Summerdaze was absolutely fantastic. Everyone commented how good they were. Great music balance and variety. The guests danced the night away. I was so very pleased with every aspect.

Paul Carruth/Carruth Wedding | June 2008 | Charlotte, N.C | prcarrut@ncsu.edu

"Whew, what a reception! It was all made possible by the wonderful atmosphere that was created by Summerdaze! Your group is without a doubt the most entertaining band we could have ever hired for our Erin's wedding reception. Everyone commented on how good you were and how well everything flowed. We felt connected from the very first, and y'all kept us going the whole night! I appreciated the personal touches that just made Erin's and Ross' night so special. What an awesome party band! It could not have been more perfect."
July 2008 | Cockfield-Grall wedding | Holiday Inn Center City | Charlotte,N.C. | Brian & Pat Cockfield

“Thank you Summerdaze for making our Beach Party on the Knoll a success. Your sounds and selections were perfect for this event. Hope to have you back again soon!”

“I just wanted your band to know how much we enjoyed the night listening to your music! I had driven to Charlotte with a friend and we did not know if there would be a band=2 0or a D J. It was a joy to hear your "sounds" and watch you as you played.”…” Wish I had an upcoming event to hire you for! June 28 2008 | Vickie Whaley | Curruth Wedding | Palisades Country Club | Raleigh, NC

What more could we ask for – great weather, huge crowds and great music!! Thanks again for a wonderful show and we’ll see you in 2009."
Heather Oplinger | Mt. Holly Springfest | Mt. Holly, North Carolina

"What a joy to have you again creating a perfect evening for our guests. Even those who heard you for the first time agreed you were some of the best musicians and vocalists in all the area, and no doubt a fabulous time was had by all. You are a joy to work with, and it’s good to be able to rest in the assurance that the evenings entertainment will always be a great success. Thanks Summerdaze!!!"
May 2nd 2008 | Linda Voldness | Sage Valley Golf and Hunt Club | Graniteville,South Carolina

“WOW! This is the first word that comes to mind when I heard Summerdaze play the first song at my wedding. I did a lot of research for the perfect band for our wedding day. I came across their web site and thought they were pretty good. When I made the call and spoke to Mitch I knew I had found the perfect band. During the anticipation of our day Mitch was in touch with me by email and phone to ensure he had all the details to make my day perfect. My big day was unbelievable!! The band made everything come together. I had guests commenting on the band saying they were very good. They definitely know how to entertain the guests. The band had us playing newly wed games with our shoes. (You will just have to book them for your wedding to find out more about this.) It was a blast and the guests really enjoyed it. Some of my guests were so impressed they have already booked with them for upcoming events. I have been getting calls from some of my out of town guests asking if they will travel. They are not just a band, they are six fun loving angels sent here to bless us all!! If you are looking for a band to be part of a special event Summerdaze is the band you have been looking for. THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH IT MEANT”

“Summerdaze was fantastic!! Our guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the sound and selection of songs played this past New Years Eve. We could have kept dancing into the wee hours of the New Year. I would recommend Summerdaze to any group looking to book a great dance band. Thanks for making our Marriott New Years Eve party a big success!!”
Downtown Marriot | Spartanburg,S.C. | New Year’s Eve Party | Chris Giardina/Director of Sales & Marketing | chris.giardina@marriot.com

“Our daughter and son-in-law (that sounds great!) enjoyed your music selections, and judging from the participation on the dance floor, people of all ages were having lots of fun. Your song selections were great - you created a fun atmosphere that people of all ages enjoyed. Al and I had a wonderful time listening and dancing to your music, and we heard many comments during the night that our guests agreed with us! Working with you has been a pleasure since our first phone call - you made great suggestions, and you and the band followed through with everything you promised and more!

"We must thank you Mitch and your marvelous band that made our daughter's wedding so successful. We wanted a fun wedding and the live band made it. Everyone loved your variety of music and it certainly pleased everyone of all ages. I would hire your band again in a heartbeat if the occasion ever presents itself. We can't thank you enough for being there for our daughter's wedding. Your band is excellent and certainly made the reception a fun party. You were so easy to work with and took over on your own so we could be busy attending our guests. Everyone complimented us on the great band we chose and how much they enjoyed your music."
November 10, 2007 | Jim & Linda Sherman | South Charlotte Banquet Center/Avari Wedding | pocahannes@bellsouth.net

We look forward to having you come to Blythefest again next year. Thanks for all of your wonderful music and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces once again."
Erin Peake, Realtor ABR | Blythefest | Blythewood, S.Carolina | kepeake@aim.com

“After being in the Food and Beverage Business for over 42 years now, I’ve certainly had the opportunity to hire, fire, and witness some exceptional entertainment, (some exceptionally bad, and some exceptionally good). Summerdaze falls, unquestionably in the latter category. It’s all about playing to the audience, and I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness anyone do it better. You are blessed with a group of talented musicians, each with a desire to exceed the expectations of not only the person that hired them, but the audience they are playing to. I can’t begin to thank you, and the rest of your professionals, enough. I sincerely look forward to a long, and mutually prosperous relationship together. With kind and best regards,”
September 2007 Robin Hood | F&B Director | The Palisades Country Club | Charlotte, NC | robinh@thepalisadescc.com

"SummerDaze - thank you so much for making the “Melissa’s Dreams for Connor” Gala & Auction a night to remember! Everyone had an amazing time. Your willingness to work with me to make the night a success was key! I look forward to working with you all in the future. Thank you again and take care!"

“Summerdaze was great to work with, very professional and laid back. The music was a hit with the crowd in Uptown Shelby and we are still getting calls and emails for them to return for our Alive After Five outdoor concert series next year. Thank you."
Allison L. Gragg | Uptown Shelby Association Inc. | Marketing Coordinator | agragg@uptownshelby.org | Shelby, NC

“For most events, success is heavily weighed by the tastiness of food, creative decorations, and enjoyable entertainment. However, if Summerdaze is playing, this does not apply. We could’ve served peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and left our ballroom bare! They were amusing, energetic, hard-working, and an absolute delight! As soon as they started playing, it was no longer about the way everything looked or tasted, but rather how it sounded; our event finally came to life. Many bands consider themselves lucky to find gigs, but in this situation, we were lucky to find the band!”
Laura Cady | Special Events Coordinator | Providence Country Club | lcady@providencecc.com | Charlotte, NC

"You all were great, not only did we have a great time dancing to all of our favorite music, but YOU all had a great time too, which made it even more of a celebration. I can't tell you how many people have asked us how we found such a great band.....great entertainment, great music and great people to work with. Other than the wedding service itself, the best thing we did for our wedding was have you!! We know who to call when we need live music for an event. Thank you again for making our wedding celebration a true celebration."
Sarah and Al Prudhomme | Charlotte, NC

"Thank you SummerDaze for a great show on Saturday during the Mount Holly Springfest!! What a great addition to our event. You are all very talented and WOW was that performance awesome!

HAolly Springfest – I’ll be in touch once we set the date! Thank you again for helping make Springfest a huge success – we couldn’t have done it without you."

"My husband recently celebrated his 50th birthday. I exhausted the Internet and all my resources to locate the perfect band for a 70's celebration. I didn't want too much disco, too much rock. I wanted a good variety band that I felt comfortable with. WOW! When I discovered Summerdaze, I hit the jackpot! The perfect blend of rock, country, soul, rhythm & blues, and beach tunes. The sax player was awesome, the guitarists were excellent, vocals were tight and in perfect tune, and I can't say enough about the professionalism of their band leader, Mitch Simpson. Mitch worked with my budget, a very tight time line and produced a perfect evening of entertainment, complete with music, lights and lots of crowd-pleasing action for our blow-out party! I can't wait for another opportunity to work with Mitch and the whole gang that make up Summerdaze!"

"When I was asked to change from a DJ to a Band for our corporate party I was leery. But I do have to say that SUMMERDAZE was the best change I made. The dance floor stayed busy all night and folks really enjoyed the music. Thank you Summerdaze for one of the best parties ever."

"Energetic, professional and totally in tune with our event, The SUMMERDAZE BAND entertained young and old alike for our 2 Cool 4 School Motor6cle Run in Shelby, North Carolina. Band members left the stage to engage the audience, worked in tandem with our event DJ, and never let the 90-degree-plus heat interfere with their showmanship or performance. We loved them, and we’ll be inviting them back for our Thursday night concert series in 2007.”
