Lynne Brauch, bride

We first had Arvell to play at my daughter’s wedding in June 2019 and were thrilled with the professionalism and music of the entire band. So it was only natural that when we had a second wedding in the family in 2020 that we asked a
Arvell to play again. Little did we know with all the events of 2020 what a trying year it would be. We had five different dates in two different locations and Arvell was a saint to hang in there with us through every one! Great music and everything else to go along with it. We will choose him for our next event and recommend him highly!

Amazing band

I knew I wanted a live band For my wedding right when I got engaged. Arvell and Company was the first vendor I booked and I’m so glad I did. Arvell was so great to work with even through the tricky logistics my venue had. My wedding coordinator continued to tell me how easy and nice the whole band was to work with when they got to the wedding too. Now for the music, I did not leave the dance floor all night! Even during their breaks, the music they played was spot on for the crowd. They did a FANTASTIC job keeping the party and dancing going, they took our wedding to the next level. It was soooo much fun. Book them!!!

Amazing Band!!!

From the first time I danced with my dad to one of Arvell & Company's set lists as a young girl at one of his big conferences, I knew I wanted that band to play at my wedding reception one day. And when the time finally came for me to begin planning my dream wedding, Arvell was my first vendor phone call. Our night was nothing short of perfection! Arvell and his band members are so much fun and so very talented. The dance floor was PACKED from the very first song until the very last song (and we even ended up asking them to stay and play longer than we had originally planned – and they agreed to it!). I highly recommend Arvell & Company for your wedding reception or any kind of big event. They are FABULOUS!

Arvell and Company were fantastic!

My daughter always dreamed of a band for her wedding and Arvell and Company was her dream band. First, Arvell was wonderful to work with. His website is professional and he responds immediately to emails and phone calls. Second, the band knew exactly what to do and when to do it. My daughter's wedding was out of town so it was very important for me to be able to hire professionals, write the check, and let them do what they know how to do. Arvell took all the planning and worries away from me. And third, Arvell and Company were fabulous. Arvell started with piano for the ceremony, a trio for dinner, and finally a nine piece band for the reception. His song list was varied and guests danced right up to the end. I feel like I got a lot of band for my money. I highly recommend Arvell and Company for your wedding too.
