BVT Live and Midnight Hour

BVT Live is a great experience when picking your band for your big day. Having the ability to go and listen to different bands to see what fits your style is perfect. Staff is professional and all entertainment is great. I highly recommend Midnight Hour. The Band Leader Pepper was very attentive and helped make our day special. Him and the entire band set the tone for the wedding and everyone had a blast. Thank you!

Look no further for your wedding band!

We cannot recommend Strangers enough if you're looking for a band for your wedding! Denny & the rest of the band did a fantastic job getting our guests on the dance floor, to the point that nobody wanted the night to end! They were so much fun to work with leading up to our wedding and did an amazing job with our first dance song, which was a new song for them. They are so talented and kept the energy alive all night long. Our family and friends won't stop talking about how wonderful you guys were. Thank you Strangers for making our wedding reception so memorable!

Back2life is a MUST band for your wedding

If you are thinking about a band for your wedding, RUN and book Back2Life! Trust us you will not regret it! They had our guests on the dance floor the whole night, the way they can read the room is absolutely amazing! Their talent goes far beyond their instruments, and they know how to keep the party going! Every single person at our wedding asked for the bands name after, and I would honestly get married again just to have Back2life play! Mark the band lead was great to work with and really tailored their set to fit us, which made our wedding feel so personal. We cannot thank Back2life enough for making our wedding day one to remember!
