RAVE REVIEWS for Next Level Band of Charlotte!!
They played at our daughter's wedding reception at Bentley's Restaurant in Charlotte- Southpark this past Saturday. In one word, they were: SPECTACULAR!! Absolutely THE BEST!!! Everyone LOVED them!! Their professionalism, kindness, energy and talent was over the top!! Not only their performance at the reception, but their communication leading up to the big day was excellent- we liked that they are independent and not tied to an agent, so you can actually speak directly to them along the way. That is a big plus!!
Thank you Judy & John and the entire band- you are very appreciated!! #1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎶🎉🥳

Great band for Weddings and Corporate events

I attended two different events, a Wedding in May 2022 and a birthday celebration in Nov 2022 where this band performed. Each time we experienced great music from very gifted musicians and fantastic vocals. The management is very professional and meticulous about ensuring song selections are appropriately customized for the occasion! Also very family friendly!

Wedding Reception 9.21.24

We chose Next Level Band of Charlotte to perform for our wedding reception. From our very first phone call to discuss details with Judy she was remarkable. Very attentive to detail and making sure our vision for our reception truly came to life. She was very thorough and always professional when speaking with us. Judy was very quick to respond with any questions we had throughout the planning process. She went above and beyond to schedule phone calls late at night that fit our busy schedules to discuss any concerns we had. We had not heard of Next Level prior to booking with them. They came highly recommended by several people. We were able to go see them perform at an outdoor event this summer and knew then they were the band we wanted for our wedding. Fast-forward to our wedding day, we were so excited to have them be part of our day. This band was without a doubt the icing on the cake for our wedding. Their stage presence and performance was a 10/10. Our guests are still talking about Next Level Band of Charlotte! If you are looking for a band to perform for your next event look no further. Next Level Band of Charlotte is off the chain and will not disappoint!!!

Everyone asked "Who is the band?!?!"

The Next Level Band of Charlotte is fantastic! John and Judy were super easy to work with - and they were one of the highlights of my day! EVERYONE raved about them - from friends to parents and grandparents! We sadly didn't get to see it (due to pictures), but during cocktail hour - the saxophone player was playing throughout the venue which the guests LOVED! They had everyone dancing the entire night! Our friends said they plan to book them for their 40th birthday (4 years from now, ha)! Can't say enough good things!

Best wedding band experience beginning to end!

I couldn’t ever write enough words of appreciation for this band! The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted for our big day. The stage and lighting aesthetics were on point! We had an outdoor wedding so we didn’t have too much to work with. They made the logistics and process seamless. People were dancing from the moment they walked on stage until the very last song. They mc’d the event and introductions to perfection, helped guide us through order of events for the night, ensured the set list was aligned with the vibes of the crowd, etc. They were utter perfection! I could not recommend them enough! People are still talking about how great the band was weeks after the wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
