    BVT and City Rhythm were awesome!

    We loved using BVT live and city rhythm as our band for our wedding this June! Communication was super easy, the band showcase really allowed us to see all our options and we went with city rhythm which we couldn’t have been more happy about! The day was perfect with them, they sounded amazing and had the dance floor going all night! Highly recommend

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Dayna. We are so glad to hear that you came out to one of our showcases and chose City Rhythm for your special day. We love hearing that they kept the dance floor packed all night long. Congrats again to you and your partner!

    Best Band Ever!

    Jellyroll was the most amazing wedding band we could’ve ever imagined! They were so easy to work with and everything went perfectly! They brought so much energy and fun to our wedding day and truly made it a party! Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was! Couldn’t recommend them more!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Megan. We are so glad both you and your guests enjoyed Jellyroll so much!

    We love Jellyroll!!

    Paul and Kurt were responsive, professional, and so pleasant in the planning process. We felt fully taken care of and it was one less thing to worry about leading up to the wedding. Throughout the wedding day, Jellyroll was just incredible! The ceremony music and cocktail hour music was amazing and so appreciated, and then at the reception, everyone was blown away. Towards the end of the night the party turned into a full-on Jellyroll concert. Everyone was raving about the band the next day, which was music to our ears!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Julie! We are so glad to hear that you and your guests had an awesome time with the Jellyroll Band.

    Big Ric and his band made our night perfect!

    We had had BIg Ric do our other daughter’s wedding in 2016 and we knew that the band was the best choice for our other daughter’s wedding. People danced all night, the interaction with the crowd was perfect, and they were so energizing all night. Highly recommend!!

    Thank you for your kind review Maureen. It makes us so happy to hear that you loved Big Ric so much that you used him for both your daughters weddings. Congrats again to your daughter and her partner!

    Truly Outstanding

    Elevation was outstanding from start to finish. Incredibly responsive, professional and personable team during the booking phase (we HIGHLY recommend attending a showcase because it really seals the deal and was also just a ton of fun). The band leaders were accommodating and collaborative with our song preferences and learning songs for first dances. Best of all is that we went into the wedding knowing they could deliver - and their performance is all our guests talked (and still talk) about! A slamdunk in every respect. Thank you Elevation!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Katherine. We are so glad to hear that you came out to one of our showcases and had a great time seeing some of our bands live and in action! We love knowing that Elevation was loved by both you and your guests!

    Weiss Vow Renewal 8/24/24

    My husband and I chose Deja Blue for our vow renewal band. They were awesome! They were great at reading the crowd's energy and did an amazing job learning and playing our first dance song. I would highly recommend them to any future couple looking for a great wedding band!

    Experience at Waterworks

    Experience at Waterworks was the absolute perfect band for our wedding. Luke the band leader was amazing and the 11-piece set was incredible. Our guests have been continuously saying it was the best wedding band they've heard.

    We are so grateful for Luke, Simone, and the entire ensemble for absolutely rocking the entire night. Thank you all so so much, we can't recommend them enough!!

    Jelly Roll Band/BVT Live

    Jelly Roll Band was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Booking of the band was seamless, and the contract process was very transparent.

    Most importantly the band’s performance was simply amazing! From the cocktail hour through the reception the band was terrific. Multiple guests were asking us where we found such an amazing band. Jelly Roll got the crowd going from the very start. Everyone was dancing. There was a song for every age. Plus the acoustic performance during the dinner was perfect. Every song was spot on and the talent of the musicians and singers was second to none.

    I only wish we could relive the evening again!!! It was so much fun. Thank you to the all for making it a memorable wedding and perfect evening!

    Deja Blue was amazing!

    We hired Deja Blue and could not have been happier. The band was flexible with a few of our fun requests and it was so exciting seeing our vision come to life on our wedding day. Our guests loved the band and even a month later they still keep raving about how much fun they had dancing the night away. Thank you Deja Blue and BVT Live for making our wedding so special!

    Best wedding band in Philadelphia!

    Wow! What can I say about Jellyroll that hasn't already been said?! They live up to their reputation as one of the elite wedding bands in the Philadelphia area, and more! Whenever I ask anyone about their highlights from our wedding, everyone starts with "the band was amazing". Their range is incredible, their playlist had everyone of all ages on their feet all night, and they were such a joy to work/plan with. If you have the opportunity to book Jellyroll for your wedding, do not hesitate for a second to do it!!!

    A Dream Band,

    I don’t think my husband and I could have dreamed of a better wedding day band if we tried! The entertainment for our wedding was one vendor I let my husband take the reins with and he picked the best option out there! From the initial inquiry, to the live showcase, to the song selection process and execution - BVTLive! and City Rhythm were a joy work with. they were prompt with responses and communication, flexible with our unique requests and full of energy throughout our entire wedding. City Rhythm was so engaging with everyone on the dance floor and attentive to the details we cared about. People cannot stop talking about how amazing the night was and we couldn’t have pulled off a better party without BVT!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Kira. We are so glad to hear that after coming out to one of our showcases you chose City Rhythm. We love knowing that they were engaging with your guests on the dance floor and attentive to details.

    Willing to learn!

    We were having a traditional jewish wedding and it was important to my parents that we have a lively hora with music that is less common than Hava nagila. From the first time we met Paul, he showed us that he would be willing to learn what we needed to meet our needs while not compromising on the absolutely amazing party they know how to throw. Coming out on to the dancefloor and engaging with the party was just the cherry on top! It was truly a party we will never forget thanks to Jellyroll.

    Thank you for your kind review Sam. We are so glad to hear that Paul and Jellyroll were able to accommodate your requests and help to make your special day even more special!

    Wedding at Tavistock Country Club

    I attended a wedding that Jellyroll performed at last year. And have been to several weddings with other bands over the years. There was no doubt That I was going to have this band at my daughter’s wedding (June 2024). Not only are they fantastic performers, prior to the wedding they worked closely with us making sure every single detail was covered. They made all introductions and kept all activities timed perfectly. Man, can they keep the party moving. I’ve had countless compliments from guests. Highly recommend these guys.

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review John. We are so pleased to hear that you loved Jellyroll so much after hearing them at another that you knew they were the right band for your daughters wedding. Congrats again to your daughter and her partner!

    Wonderful Experience

    Such an amazing experience. The band was so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating. Can’t count the number of people who came up to me to comment on how terrific the band was. They have a wide range and are wonderful performers. It felt like we were attending a professional concert (which we essentially were). They even learned a number of new songs at our request (and played them perfectly). Highly recommend!

    Bvt + strangers = wedding perfection!

    Our experience with BVTLive Bands, specifically Strangers was truly a dream come true, exceeding all our expectations. From the moment we reached out to them, they were incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs. Paul picked up that phone and it felt like I knew him my own life! He invited me a showcase but sadly I was living Florida. Instead of giving up, he invited my mom and brother to sit in our place, and even sent me a livestream to watch virtually. He rolled out the red carpet for my mom, checking in with her though out the night and even texting me between each set to see what I was feeling!
    Than Strangers got up and my mom, Paul and I instantly knew they were the ones for what we were looking for!! The horns, the different types of song, the vocal range and the interactions - they were perfect!! Paul brought my mom right to the table and got us booked! We were thrilled!

    Working with Strangers was a breeze!! Dean, Denny and Rick were a dream to partner with. They took every crazy request, have little idea and dream come to life! The energy they brought to the reception kept everyone on the dance floor all night long, making our celebration truly lively and memorable. They even played Creed - and I will forever remember every dude rushing from the bar to the dance floor to belt their hearts out! They were able to make our entrance dreams a relaity - with rally towels and Highway to the Danger Zone!

    One thing that stood out was their flexibility and willingness to work with us on our song choices and timeline. They took the time to understand our preferences and made sure to incorporate them seamlessly into their sets. This personalization added an extra layer of meaning to our wedding day and made it even more special.


    In conclusion, we are beyond grateful to BVTLive Bands and Strangers for their outstanding performance and the incredible energy they brought to our wedding day. Their talent and dedication truly made our event unforgettable, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch entertainment experience for their special day.

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Anjelica! We are so glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience throughout the whole booking process. We love knowing that Strangers was able to accommodate your preferences and that they were able to make your celebration truly lively and memorable!

    Philly Funk Authority

    I highly recommend using Philly Funk Authority for your next party or event. The team at BVTLive made us feel confident in choosing them for our wedding. The band leader was amazing to work with and accommodating. They learned how to play the Philadelphia Eagles fight song on the piano for my dad and I to walk down the aisle to. They had everyone dancing the entire night. Also, my husband and I wanted to have a private dance after everyone left the room, and the band learned how to play the final song for us. They were amazing to work with!

    Dancing all night

    We had the best time with Back2Life. We attended a live showcase, which was awesome, and working with Mark was simple! We had two calls a month before the wedding to talk details, announcements, and playlists. So many people asked about the band and were praising their talent all night. We hope to see them again at another event!

    We really loved the energy this band brought to our wedding! Our dance floor was packed and everyone complimented the band!! The songs they play were very comprehensive and a wide range!

    Patrick and Taylor’s Wedding

    Deja Blue truly brought the energy to our wedding! We had guests coming up to us constantly asking about the band and raving about the music. We couldn’t have asked for better energy and better vibes for our wedding. It was an absolute blast and no one wanted to leave the dance floor. I will forever recommend Deja Blue for events in the future because personally I’d love to attend more events knowing the music is going to be that incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day perfect.

    Love,
    The Thomsons

    Review of Big Ric band for wedding

    There is not enough good things to say about Big Ric and his band. He is so good that he was the band for our son's wedding about a year and a half ago and we hired him right on the spot for our daughter! Big Ric is second to none. Not only is he so much fun, he is a hoot and so good at what he does. The entire wedding was up dancing the entire time and he just kept everything moving. Our guests kept raving about him, as they did for our son's wedding. And, he was totally different for both weddings so he can customize! No one will be disappointed in hiring Big Ric. It will be the event of the year!!!
