    Nothing But Velvet

    NBV made the entire night! The band was tight and kept the energy going throughout. Their song selection is great and they were responsive throughout the months leading up to the big night. Pricing is more than fair, would recommend 10 out of 10 times. Thanks for everything!

    Amazing band helped with my proposal

    I had a very unique request for the band which was to do a flash mob-style proposal for my girlfriend. While other bands didn't want to take on the idea, Farrel and Nothing But Velvet were eager to offer their services and helped craft a perfect proposal. They shared video practices leading up to the event and communicated well throughout the process. They were wonderful to work with and would highlight recommend!

    A blast and amazing

    We had 80 guests to my birthday. It was great band and people enjoy very much. I definitely will l hire them again. Actually, I was really surprised but they did a great job.

    Nothing But Velvet's reply:

    Thank you so much for having us be a part of your Birthday celebration Guy. The band had a blast performing for you and your guests, and we wish you nothing but the very best!

    Amazing Wedding Band Experience

    Nothing But Velvet exceeded our expectations. We booked them for our wedding in October for ceremony + reception. Farrell worked with us on song selection (their catalog is huge and covers numerous genres), and learned several songs at our request. Every member is obviously talented and they brought tons of energy to our party. We got endless compliments from guests on how great the band was. Do yourself a favor and book this band!

    Fantastic experience!!!

    I was looking for a band to perform at my 40th birthday celebration and interviewed several reputable bands recommended by wedding wire.

    From the very first interaction with Farrel from NBV, I knew I would hire them for my event.

    A part of the celebration, which was actually the most important for me, was a tribute to my mother which required the band to learn a new song in a different language and they nailed it!!!

    My guests were delighted with all their performances.

    It was such a great pleasure working with this band.

    Communication and coordination during the planning was seamless.

    I will highly recommend and engage them again and again!!!!

    Nothing But Velvet's reply:

    Thank you so much, Charles! It was such an honor to be a part of birthday celebration. Thanks for all the support and lovely review. All the best to you!

    Wonderful people to work with and so talented!!

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Farrell and his team! He couldn't have been more accommodating, supportive, and patient, leading up to our big day and he definitely made us feel like the entertainment choices were driven by us, the client, versus his vision. On our wedding day, we/the venue had a major equipment malfunction and Farrell and his team made it work and we were able to have our ceremony music! Even though we only booked them for the reception part of our party, they did so much to support us during the ceremony itself too! The music was top notch and our guests LOVED the band. I can't emphasize enough how much of a privilege it was to work with them. Wonderful human beings, thank you again Nothing But Velvet!!

    Exceptional Band!

    We were in the market for a band as an addition to our wedding entertainment lineup (we had a DJ, drummer, and saxophonist booked at the time).

    We came across NBV through our Saxophonist who often plays with NBV and let me tell you - they are a match made in heaven!!! Their day of matching outfits of black head to toe with red shoes I thought were a great touch, they're all so in sync! (they were very mindful to ask about dress code which was nice so if you are having a black tie event, they would accommodate as such!)

    Before we booked NBV, we ran into them as they were performing at a local park in our state. Farrel, Betsy, and Elias all have such a warm and welcoming presence to them, their aura just radiates through both their music and their personalities, I felt like I knew them for years when chatting with them!

    We mostly worked with Farrel in regards to the contract, the flow of the day, and there aren't enough words to describe how patient, professional, and detailed he was in ensuring our day went smoothly. I should mention that Farrel and his team had an out of state gig the morning of our wedding [ insert bride panic ].. but Farrel, Betsy and Elias arrived early and were ready to welcome us as we did our ballroom reveal, doing soundcheck with our DJ!!

    It was so fun to have Farrel, Betsy and Elias interact with us and have fun with our guests all throughout the night. Farrel was often on the dance floor alongside our Saxophonist dancing while Betsy and Elias were killing it with the vocals and dancing along as well! They truly made my entertainment dreams come true having a band/DJ duo!

    Our guests raved at how well executed all parts of our entertainment were and how NBV was an amazing band - Betsy and Elias vocals sing so beautifully together and they created such a wonderful night for us and our guests!

    We undoubtedly recommend NBV for any occasion!!!

    Above and beyond

    We worked with Farrell and Nothing But Velvet for our wedding. This group will go above and beyond what they are hired for to make your event/day special and truly authentic to you. On top incredible communication, responsiveness, and service - this band is most importantly so damn talented. Our guests were blown away and we had so many requests for their information. It was an absolute dream to work with them and they surpassed every single expectation we had. They did things to make the night incredible that we couldn’t have even dreamed of. IF YOU’RE READING THIS, TRUST ME YOU CAN STOP YOUR SEARCH NOW!!!

    Excellence and nothing else

    Nothing But Velvet was extremely tasteful for our black tie formal wedding. They knew what type of music to start with and end with. Farrell is very intentional with client conversations and is open to all ideas. We had SO much fun dancing, crying, laughing!! The night would not have been the same without this incredible band. Our wedding guests thoroughly enjoyed NBV and we would highly recommend them over and over again! Family vibes if you know what I mean!

    Nothing but Amazing!!

    Nothing But Velvet was nothing but amazing. We had a 2 hour delay in our wedding and I have to say that they really helped the crowd. They played so well that the people actually thought it was a concert we were given before the wedding.

    Farrell and the band was amazing!! will definitely book them again

    DieujusteDynasty

    In a few words, the level of service and professionalism that was delivered was exceptional. And to all my fellow musicians who know the art, the performance musically is straight from a live concert to your venue. You will not be disappointed.

    NBV Brought the Party! & Connected with our guests perfectly!

    I am not exaggerating, people are still asking us the name of the band we hired for our wedding as the entire time all of our guests were on the dance floor. NBV played while our guests were eating dinner, and we saw people standing at their seats dancing. It was literally the perfect match and we are so appreciative of their time and talent. Through the entire process Farell answered all of our questions and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about when it came to the music. They even played our first dance, mother/daughter and mother/son dances. Highly recommend if you are looking for a band for your special day! We were very lucky to book their last available weekend in October for this year. The only sad part about booking NBV is the party is over, we can't wait until our next celebration so we can hire them again!

    Great music & Excellent Vibe

    They were excellent! Performed (vocals w/1-piece) for my ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception (vocals & 5-piece). They were prompt, classy, played all the songs we requested, and absolutely amazing! A total vibe!

    Highly recommend this group!

    Amazing quality and professionalism!

    Nothing But Velvet was all we wanted AND MORE!!!! I’ve seen them play at different weddings and we had to have them for ours. Due to restrictions with COVID, we only had Farrell (keyboard player) and we still were satisfied. That’s how good they are! Definitely the band to choose!

    Farrell is a Fantastic Musician

    I highly recommend Farrell Hutchinson. He is a highly talented musician and a really great guy as well. Working with kids isn’t easy, but Farrell was patient, engaging, and highly professional. Prior to our session, he was very easy to communicate with and was responsive to all of our questions and helped guide us through an online rehearsal which wasn’t easy either. You can’t go wrong choosing Farrell for any event or session work.

    Virtual Valentine’s Day

    From start to finish Ferrel was an absolute professional and a pleasure to collaborate with. Our request to Nothing But Velvet for a pre-recorded video was last minute, not planned, and full of changes. They rose to the challenge and helped us plan a wonderful Valentine’s event for the couples from our church. All of our requests were met beyond our expectations AND they delivered a finished product before our deadline. I look forward to having Nothing But Velvet for an in-person event in the future.

    Quality!!!!

    My birthday party would not have been the same without this band!! Professional. Punctual. Quality. The moment the band started people began to groove! No one left the dance floor when they were playing. Dynamic band! I had them play for my private party and they did not disappoint. This band is great for any occasion. Flexible, understanding, and they worked with me to provide what was a memorable evening. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOTHING BUT VELVET!

    Nothing But Velvet's reply:

    NBV had a blast at your party!! The crowd sung every song and was absolutly amazing!! Thanks again for trusting us.

    Literally Amazing

    This band helped me to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was amazing!!! They were 100% professional. The whole band engaged the audience. They sounded amazing. I couldn’t ask for more! The songs that they covered sounded great from some funk, jazzy tunes and top 40. I would recommend them for any event. The party would not have been the same without them!

    Great Wedding Pianist

    We recently had our wedding ceremony at Hawthorne Gospel Church (Northern New Jersey) and Farell Hutchinson, our pianist, was very diligent, responsive, talented and reasonably priced for serving as a pianist during our wedding ceremony and filing in background music for the soloists and throughout the program for any potential awkward silence (which makes a world of a difference). He was great at learning instrumentals for songs requested and transitions for when any of the processional songs phased out. I would highly recommend his services.

    10th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

    Infinity Sound provided entertainment for my 10th wedding anniversary vow renewal this past August. Working with this band has been the most seamless process in all of the event! The band was responsive, timely and extremely professional in every aspect of the word. A number of my guest asked for their information so that they can also book them for their events. The fact that they provided this level of quality, professionalism and excellent service for a destination event goes to show just how much they care about their customers and the value they place on providing top quality service regardless of the constraints.

    I would recommend anyone who needs great music and professional service to book Infinity sounds! You will not be disappointed!

    Spectacular Live Performance at Surprise Proposal

    I hired Nothing But Velvet to play live during my proposal to my now fiance. Farrel & team were amazing. He made the process very smooth, communication was great, and most importantly the song for THE MOMENT was perfect.

    You can hear them doing their thing at our event here:

    Farrell from Infinity Sounds is Professional and On Point

    Infinity Sounds provided music for our ceremony. Farrell Hutchinson was our Pianist and he moved all of us tears with his playing! He played our songs even better than the sound track. There's something about his playing that brought our song to life. Infinity Sounds attended rehearsal, they were prompt and very hands on with the singers the day of wedding. You can’t go wrong booking these amazing musicians.
