BVTLive Bands

rt to finish. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great they were. We highly recommend Strangers for any wedding or special event!

many genres, and our very custom requests for ceremony and reception highlights (i.e., instrumental for aisle procession, first dance, the Jewish Hora), without any hiccups. We also had a bit of a chaotic schedule and they seamlessly adapted to changes in that schedule. Wonderful music; we and our guests had such a wonderful time!

The whole day was easily customizable and the band delivered.   Guests of all ages packed the dance floor the whole night. A+

g about how good the band was and how much fun the dance floor was. Paul and Kurt were so easy to work with. They helped set the program and keep the night on track, learned at least three songs that made our day unique and special to us, and even let one of our incredibly talented friends sing a song with them. Their song list was extensive and spanned all genres and eras, which had all of our guests enjoying the music — young and old. They read the room perfectly and sounded incredible all night. Paul and his bandmates played strings, keys, and guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour, which made our ceremony all the more special. We could not recommend Jellyroll more!

wonderful to work with and truly cared about our music preferences and getting to know us as a couple. They got everyone on the dance floor for the whole night! We had SO many compliments from our guests on how fun and amazing the music was! 

best and made the night so much fun! Highly recommend if you want high energy that gets the crowd moving and dancing.

o work with.

led for us because we knew they were the perfect life band for our wedding. We have been getting comment after comment on how amazing the band was. It was the best time of our lives! We cant thank you enough for making our night one everyone  will remember!  It was truly phenomenal and everyone was in the dance floor all night! 

ty and no one wants to leave the dance floor! Our guests had such a great time dancing at our wedding and it was all thanks for Strangers!! We could not recommend this band enough!! 

time to meet with you to understand what you are looking for and learns the songs that are important to you to perfection! Can’t say enough good things about level V! 

’d ever heard. Thank you guys so much!

nd they somehow exceeded expectations. They kept the dance floor packed all night long, played an incredible mix of music, and brought such great energy from start to finish. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was. I also loved attending the showcase to see a variety of bands play prior to choosing Carnivale 

and committed to delivering a great experience for us and our guests. By the time we first heard Elevation perform at the Ardmore Music Hall showcase, we had already listened to 12 other bands that weekend. Before Elevation even finished their first song, we knew we had to book them for our NYE wedding—their musicianship is unmatched. Their readiness to personalize our selections made for an incredibly meaningful experience. Their energy and talent kept the dance floor packed past midnight. We will recommend BVTLive! and Elevation to anyone seeking polished, professional, and party-ready entertainment for their event.

it was her wedding and my own personal concert. They crushed every song. I jokingly asked them to learn Aaron's Party and they ended up doing an amazing rendition. Incredible night. Incredible band.

ted to book Back2Life as soon as we heard them. They were soso good and it was great working with Mark, their band leader. Easy process and put me at ease.

nterlude and post-ceremony cocktail hour, with an incredible repertoire of classical and modern songs which matched the mood of the different times of the event. But the highlight was the exceptional performances for the processionals and recessionals (Sunrise Sunset, Concerning Hobbits, Anne’s Theme and Raider of the Lost Ark Theme). Alex’s team was able to adjust to quite well to our ceremony plan, even as they navigated the human element of guests at the wedding.  And as musicians ourselves, they met the extremely high bar of impressing us! We would love to work with them again and believe any wedding or event would be lucky to have them! Most importantly, The Wedding Band, Carnivale featuring El, was an incredibly talented and fun experience for everybody at the wedding! They did a fantastic job learning our two requests outside of their expansive repertoire (Party Man by Prince and Lovers by Taylor Swift) both of which lead to an outstanding response for our intro into the venue as well as our first dance! The Hora and the Tarantella were exceptional and they are highly capable and talented for any ethnic wedding as well. But most importantly, the dance floor was always moving the whole night, never having less than 50 people on the dance floor at any time and at many times had 90-100% or the guests dancing throughout the night! We are still getting rave reviews from our guests, regardless of social background extrovertedness, about how much they loved the band. We not only would love to work with them again, but think they are probably the best band for wedding events in the SEPA area! Bravo! ~Dan & Emily

out the planning process, and BVT made everything so seamless and stress-free. I loved using their user-friendly portal, which allowed me to select exactly which songs the band would play at each part of the wedding — it made customizing our playlist incredibly easy. The band went above and beyond by addressing all our special requests. They perfectly combined our father-daughter and mother-son dances, and they even made a heartfelt announcement dedicating a song to the groom’s father for his birthday. Additionally, they learned a new song to continue our family flash mob tradition, which was such a fun and special touch. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the band was, and they kept the dance floor lively all night long. I’ve never been to a wedding where every single guest table was empty because everyone was dancing the entire night. Working with "Strangers" and BVT was an absolute pleasure — they were the best vendor I had the pleasure of collaborating with both before and during my wedding day. If you're looking for talented musicians, fantastic communication, and a seamless experience, look no further!

ly exceeded expectations in every way. I honestly can't imagine having any other band at our wedding, they brought so much energy and good vibes and had everyone up dancing, from the little kids to the grandparents. We loved their interactions with our guests as well; the band members were so kind and friendly. Our guests definitely will never stop talking about how awesome our band was and we won't stop saying how lucky we were to get them! Besides just being so talented and fun on the day of the wedding, they were also so helpful throughout the planning process. We felt like they completely understood what we wanted our day to be like and executed it perfectly. It was so easy to trust the band leaders would handle everything, which we really appreciated. Choose Elevation for your wedding if you want to have an easy planning process, fabulous music, and a ton of fun!

with and made it such a seamless process for us. Luke, the bandleader, is amazing and created the perfect setlist for us. He took the time to meet with us multiple times and really took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. The rest of the band was also such amazing musicians/performers and had people on the dance floor all night long. Our guests still cannot stop raving about how incredible the band was and many even said it was the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding. I cannot recommend enough to book Experience for your wedding or any special occasion and working with BVTLive!

to get the band. I looked around online and listened to countless demos—I saw lots of good bands, and some not so good ones. A friend of mine had recently attended a wedding in the Philly area and said the band was great—that band was the Strangers. I gave them a listen, liked them, and trusted my friend’s recommendation; we booked the Strangers for our wedding. The band was GREAT. We had about 160 people at our wedding, ranging in age from 19 to 90. We are both 27 and most of our friends are about the same age. The band catered to all tastes. Our friends like to party—lots of drinking and dancing. The Strangers absolutely, 150%, met our group where they were and wanted to be. They sounded great, were tons of fun, brought tons of energy, and had a GREAT song selection given our group demographics. My wife did the vast majority of the wedding planning and everything was beautiful, went off without a hitch…but the number one thing that everyone talks about and complimented us on was how good the band was. I get to take credit for something lol. I also can’t speak highly enough of Rick and Denny. During the planning process, those two made it clear that they were absolute professionals who knew what they were doing. It was a gigantic relief to know that we were in good hands and could move on to other tasks. I wouldn’t waste my time writing this review if I didn’t wholeheartedly believe that the Strangers were instrumental to making our wedding a massive, massive, FUN success (that plus the open bar). If you’re on the fence about picking a wedding band, just book the Strangers. And do yourself a favor and add the horn section—it was some of the best money I’ve ever spent. Also…ask them to play Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” if any of your friends/family are into classic rock: one of the highlights of the night. Thank you for making my wedding one to remember. You guys rock.

lpful. They were very welcoming and made all the prep-work feel natural and very easy. Meeting Denny and Rick to discuss our music choices was also a pure pleasure. All of this to say, nothing - and I mean nothing, compares to how well they rocked the house on our wedding night. From an emotional keyboard during the ceremony, to swanky and fun saxophones at cocktail hour, they helped build the ambiance we were looking for on our wedding night. When it finally came time for the reception, they brought out the wedding party and helped us set the tone during our first dance that our night was going to be FUN. All throughout the night, our guests came up to us to compliment the band. My mom told me it was like she was at a concert! And even now, days later, people are still texting us talking about how amazing this band was. I can never thank them enough or say enough good things about them. Denny/Rick, if you see this, thanks again and you were completely right! (They know what I mean)

d how much they loved the band, and everyone had a different favorite band member and a different favorite song. Highlight was when all the horn players circled the bride. Plus they did the best cover of "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" I've ever heard. Only wish we could go back and do it all again!

s. Their energy, professionalism, and talent are unmatched. What stood out most is how they didn’t feel like just entertainment in the background — they felt like part of the celebration, bringing the entire room to life through their music. Before the big day, they took the time to meet with us, understand our vibe as a couple, and talk through musical preferences. There were a few songs we weren’t sure about, and they gently reminded us to trust their expertise when it came to keeping the party alive — and they were absolutely right. Every song hit, the transitions were seamless, and the entire experience felt personal and electric. So many of our guests are still talking about how phenomenal the band was. If you're looking for a band that brings joy, connection, and unforgettable energy to your wedding, Strangers is it. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

what we wanted. Chris was super responsive and easy to work with. So many of our guests complimented the band doing a great job. We were so happy to have them be a part of our special day.

picked Elevation as our band and people are still texting us about how good the band was almost a month later. They rocked out and made the night. Look no further than BVTLive when you are looking for a band. Always book a wedding band for your wedding. The memories they will create are worth it. Thank you BVT live for making our dream special day come to life.

and his ability to play to the crowd made the whole night feel personalized and electric. We spoke with Christian twice before the big day, which was so helpful—it gave us a chance to get to know him and share the vibe we were going for. He’s incredibly professional, super easy to work with, and also just so much fun! We also opted to add on the DJ-Fusion service and had Nils (SaxOnIt) play alongside Christian. We would book it over and over again if we could! Nils brought the energy, interacting with guests right on the dance floor, and added an unforgettable live element that has everyone still talking about the night. The two of them together created such a seamless and elevated entertainment experience. We can’t thank Christian and Nils enough for making our night so special. Highly, highly recommend!

single musician was incredibly talented, and their versatility blew us (and our guests) away. They knew exactly how to read the room and kept the dance floor packed all night long. From our first dance to the very last song, they made every moment feel magical. Guests are still raving about how fun and unforgettable the music was — hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. If you're looking for a band that brings talent, energy, and a whole lot of heart, look no further. They helped make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more!

so much energy to our reception. From start to finish, the dance floor was packed, and we had a blast dancing to all the hits. We highly recommend considering Back2Life for all your wedding music needs.

lso learned a couple of songs for us as well. They learned a custom edited version of a song for our first dance and played it perfectly. They bring so much energy to the dance floor and our guests loved them. Book them! You will not regret it!

night. My daughter and son-in-law have very different musical tastes, and I honestly didn’t think any band could keep everyone happy and dancing with the different taste in music. But I was so wrong—Strangers completely nailed it. They played current hits, popular dance songs and rock and roll! Their energy was incredible. The brass and singers  came out onto the dance floor, engaging with guests and keeping the party going nonstop. The music selection was spot-on, they played everything so well and in the perfect order. It was such a fun, unforgettable night. Strangers truly made the wedding. If you’re looking for a band that can play everything and play it in a way that keeps EVERY guest on the dance floor—  Strangers is the band. Plus they are really nice people and so easy to work with.

t song, the dance floor was packed and the energy was off the charts. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how incredible the entertainment was—Deja Blue and DJ Jon Gill absolutely crushed it! One of the best parts of working with BVTLife was the total peace of mind they gave us. We never once had to worry about the music or whether our guests were enjoying themselves—it was so clear that they were! Singing along with everyone to Dreams, Million Dollar Bill, and Unwritten will forever be one of our favorite memories. We especially appreciated the time and care Deja Blue and Jon Gill put into working with us to customize the setlist. Every song felt like the perfect fit and helped create the exact vibe we were dreaming of. The transitions, the flow, the energy—it was all spot on. Their ability to read the room and keep everyone on the dance floor all night was truly next-level. We are officially huge fans and will be singing the praises of BVTLife, Deja Blue, and Jon Gill to everyone we know. Thank you for bringing your incredible talent, heart, and energy to our big day—it truly wouldn’t have been the same without you!

oint 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!

was packed!

choose what band would be the best fit for us. We took a leap and booked the Strangers and after meeting with them in the weeks leading up to the wedding, we knew they were the best choice we could have made. They kept the dance floor packed all night and every single person that we’ve talked to since our wedding says they were the absolute best wedding band they’ve ever seen! It’s one thing to have a band at your wedding but the Strangers bring it to a whole other level. They truly take pride in the guest experience and having a packed dance floor the whole night and you can tell by how upbeat and engaged they all are the whole night performing! We truly cannot recommend the strangers enough for your wedding reception! 1000/10 stars!

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! - The Facciolos 

electric and our guests were on the dance floor all night. Their playlist was perfectly tailored to our taste, they really knew how to read the room and keep the vibe just right. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the band was, and it truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainment experience, and we highly recommend Jellyroll to anyone looking for a fantastic band for their big day! Thank you again for making our wedding unforgettable!
