    Deja Blue Band

    Deja Blue was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, they were professional, talented, and so much fun. They went above and beyond by learning the specific songs we requested—including Come Sail Away, which turned out to be one of my favorite moments of the entire reception. Their energy was infectious, and the dance floor was packed all night long. Our guests are still raving about the band! If you're looking for a band that will truly elevate your celebration, book Deja Blue—you won't regret it.

    Great experience!

    We really enjoyed working with Vahe Sarkissian and his wedding group. They were professional, prompt, eager to work with us, and really made us feel like they would curate an amazing experience - and they did just that! Run, don't walk, to work with this group!

    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!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words and review, Carolyn! We are so glad to hear that Strangers made your wedding so memorable and was such a pleasure to work with.

    Back2life brings the party!

    We just had Back2Life a BVT band perform at our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. We are still getting compliments on the band and how fun they were! Back2Life plays a wide range of music from Journey to Lizzo, to oldies, they do it all! They met with us a few times before our wedding and even learned to play our first dance songs. They even had my husband on stage with them. Only complaint is reception entrances were an incorrect order but other than that they are a lively, fun band who brings the party!

    Great sound and lots of energy!

    BVT Strangers - best band in the Philly area, they kept the party going and energy up til 10:30 at night! From the intro. dances to the final song, our guests were greatly entertained and fully immersed in the dancing which was the goal for our guests! At one point, the groom joined the band onstage playing keyboard to Alicia Keys, "If I Ain't Got You" and Burt Bacharach's "Say A Little Prayer for You". It was the HIGHLIGHT of the night!!! Denny and his band are very worthy of your consideration and listening to at one of their many showcases!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review Mike! We are so happy to hear that the energy was there and Strangers kept the party going for you! We also love to hear that the groom had a special moment on stage!

    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!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Alexandra! We are so glad to hear that Deja Blue was able to read the crowd energy and help to make your vow renewal even more special!

    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!!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review Aaron. We are so glad to hear that you felt that Experience was the perfect band for your wedding and that all your guests enjoyed them as well!

    Midnight Hour was spectacular!

    Our wedding day was perfect. BVTLive Bands played a huge part in making it perfect. From the moment we contacted them, their responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our preferences stood out. We were able to easily discuss our music choices and they were open to personalizing the playlist to reflect our style.

    On the day of the wedding, the band's performance was exceptional. The atmosphere they created was lively and engaging, getting all our guests on the dance floor. The versatility of their music selection ensured that everyone, from our youngest cousins to our grandparents, had a fantastic time.

    Overall, we are so grateful to Midnight Hour and BVTLive Bands for adding such a memorable touch to our special day. Their talent and energy truly elevated the celebration and made it a night we will never forget. If you're looking for a band that can bring your wedding to life with their music, we highly recommend considering Midnight Hour and BVTLive Bands.

    Thank you for your kind review Sarah. We are so glad to hear that Midnight Hour was able to help make your special day even more memorable! Congrats again to you and your partner!

    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!!!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Jen. We are so glad to hear that you and your guests loved the Jellyroll Band. Congrats again to you and your partner!

    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!

    Awesome all around!

    We had crowds of all ages at our wedding and everyone absolutely loved the music! We had Deja Blue perform for the reception, as well as piano + violin for ceremony, and it all went off without a hitch. Very professional and great to work with. Make the process easy. It's always great when you don't have to worry about the vendor and they show up and show out :-)

    Summer Wedding filled with Music

    When we first saw Carnivale in-person at one of BVTLive's Showcases, our parents wondered if we were hiring a band for our wedding or putting on a full-blown concert. Having top-notch live music was a major priority for our wedding and Carnivale delivered. We are coming up on our first anniversary, and everyone we've seen since the wedding is still mentioning our wedding band. Not only were they fabulous in their performance, the professionalism and communication leading up to the big day were great! El not only was thorough in communication with us, but truly made sure to make the day personal to us. We cannot thank them enough!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Emma. We are so glad to hear that you were able to come out to one of our showcases. We love knowing that El was able to make your special day personal to you and your partner. Happy one year anniversary!

    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!!!

    BVTLive Bands's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review Allison. We are so glad to hear that Big Ric was such a hit at your son's wedding that you booked him for your daughters wedding as well.

    If I could give 100 stars I would

    I don’t even know where to start! BVT and Experience were beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of. Luke was fantastic with communication and scheduling meetings, and made sure we had exactly what we wanted on our day. We knew that Experience was great listening to their showcases, but the online videos don’t even do them justice. They were the best band we’ve ever had the privilege of hearing at a wedding and brought so much energy, and they even gave us a little sneak peak of our song before our reception started. It’s been 3 weeks are we are STILL getting comments from our guests about how amazing they were! Again, if I could give 100 stars I would. Thank you BVT and Experience, we could not recommend you more!!!

    Strangers - Incredible Performers

    We recently had Strangers perform at our wedding in Philadelphia and they were absolutely fantastic! Denny and Rick were extremely easy to work with on the preparation and the band sounded incredible. Our friends and family have been raving for days after the event. The band was very accommodating and allowed our family to have a few special moments, which was above and beyond and greatly appreciated!

    Highly recommend Jelly Roll!

    We reached out to Kurt on a whim and he was so approachable and friendly. He made our decision to go with Jelly Roll super easy. He was always available. A++
