About

Up and Down the East Coast with One Goal.

Bigg Romeo has always wanted to be the best that as a group we could be.

A “Best of Philadelphia” Party Band, Bigg Romeo is an 8-piece high-energy wedding and dance band. Guests of all musical tastes will dance the night away to the rhythms and beats of yesterday and today. Bigg Romeo is the only choice when a full dance floor is your top priority in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas. (We also play anywhere on the East Coast and if you want us on the West Coast we’ll come there too!)

With hundreds of songs in our arsenal, we perform the music that you and your guests want to hear. Most important, we perform at a volume level acceptable to each guest and appropriate to the size and set up of your reception or event area. This is wedding music at its best!

Fronted by the charismatic duo of Sandy Costello and Franco Sicilia since 1996, Bigg Romeo brings the stage to life with an electric performance and powerhouse vocals. Each member sings both lead and back-up vocals, adding to the melodies and harmonies from the songs you know and love. Andrea Baretto adds a third lead singer and 6th harmony to the band. Add the “Feel the Love” horns and we have a party your family will be talking about for years to come. This is just a small part of what makes Bigg Romeo the best in the Philadelphia wedding market.

From song selections, arrival and introductions, through your first dance and beyond, our Band Leader, Franco is your single point of contact throughout all the planning stages of your event.

Bigg Romeo is not an entertainment agency or orchestra with many bands and various musicians that tend to get “mixed and matched.” We are one band of professional, formally trained musicians who have rehearsed and played together since 1996. The band that you hire is the one that will perform at your reception: the one and only Bigg Romeo.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Couldn’t ask for a better band!!

This band is the best! Their shows are always so much fun! We have seen everything from a full band to the duo of Franco and Crabby. This band is so easy to work with and a joy to have around. They take pride in giving your guests a great experience and take your wedding to the next level to have everyone singing and dancing with you! We couldn’t recommend them more!

Fireball and More!

We needed a band that could make my mom and dad happy as well as keep the dance floor going with our friends. We went to a few showcases and decided we were going to pick the band by the band who did Fireball the best. Don't judge; they were all playing it. We went to Parx to see Bigg Romeo and asked for the song in our emails, and they played it... and the lead singer was all over the stage and smiling and we asked him during the break if he loved that song and he said absolutely not but people love it, so that makes him happy.

Bigg Romeo made us happy so we are very glad we made this decision for our wedding this year. It was perfect. Sorry it took a few months to get to this, Happy Holidays!

Don’t hesitate to book Bigg Romeo!!

Bigg Romeo was the best choice for our wedding! We had an absolute blast and are still getting compliments from guests on how great our band was.

The booking and planning process was so easy. The band has an extensive list of songs they’re able to play and are super willing work with you on any songs you’d like to include that aren’t on their usual list.

I can’t say enough nice things about our experience - don’t hesitate to book! You will have the best party.

Highly recommended!!

We've been following them for several years, catching their performances at various venues throughout the Northeast and around the Bensalem area. Every show has been incredible, their crowd interaction and song choices are always spot-on. Franco quickly became like family to us, always taking the time to chat during his breaks, so when it came time to plan our wedding, having them perform was an easy decision.
We're beyond thrilled that we did! They went above and beyond to make our wedding night absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Every guest raved about how amazing the band was and we couldn't agree more. Their mix of songs appealed to all ages and tastes, and they knew exactly how to keep the celebration going strong.
We're so grateful for their incredible talent, professionalism, and genuine heart. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band that will make your night truly one to remember!

Stop what your doing and BOOK THEM!

Groom here and I wish I could give more stars. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them. They played the perfect mix of songs and played them beautifully. My wife did most of the communication and constantly raved about the responsiveness and flexibility!

Some quotes heard at and since our wedding:

“Omg the band was amazing!”

“Where did you find this band!?!”

“I’ve never seen such a packed dance floor for so long. They played all the right songs at the right time!”

Book them and let them cook! You will not be disappointed!!

Woman owned business. Yes please.

This band is awesome and we were so happy to have them play for our event. They are wonderfully diverse in music and it was a big deal for my partner and I do have found a woman owned business to support as well.

Go see them. Fall in love with them like we did and book them for your special day.

My feet still hurt

I don’t dance. Bigg Romeo made my wedding day that much more special because my leg still hurt and I’ve been married for three months.

There are not Enough nice things to say about this band.
There are over 200 reviews on this website alone. Excellent musicians, excellent band leader, amazing singers, and beautiful hearts. My 90-year-old grandma was dancing with the band leader. That’s basically invite your family to play for you

Highly Recommended all star band

Bigg Romeo came highly recommended from a few friends who were always enjoying music at the Jersey shore. We went to see them at a bar in Limerick Pennsylvania and they were fantastic. We knew we had to contract them for our wedding day. Franco put me at ease with every phone call and text and was wonderful to work with. I was very happy not to talk to a manager or agent and actually spoke to someone in the band that was going to be at my wedding. That was a big selling point for us. If you want a wonderful experience both , during and Even after the wedding when the band becomes family every time we go out to see them, book this band for your special day

Need more stars for these guys

I’m sorry it took me so long to get here to post this. We were the typical family wants a band, we want a dj and we ended up booking Bigg Romeo. To us it was the best of both worlds. Older songs for the family and newer songs for us plus Franco the band leader worked with us to outline a set list of our favorite Dj songs and mixes while desert came out and the band took a short break. That was perfect for us. The band was amazing on and off the stage. Go see them. Book them. We can’t be happier.

We had the time of our lives.

We went to a few showcases and one night ended up walking into a lounge at Parx Casino and the band that was on stage was so entertaining we had to talk to them about our wedding. We are so glad that we stumbled upon Bigg Romeo.. The band leader Franco made everything perfect for us. He was accessible via text anytime, always respond to emails within hours let alone minutes. The band looked amazing, sounded amazing and most importantly kept our family dancing.

We can’t wait to see them again. If you’re on the fence about a wedding band, these are your people.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
