We couldn’t be happier with Strangers, booked through BVTLive! The entire process was a breeze, thanks to the amazing BVT team. Booking was easy, and attending the showcases was so much fun. While BVT is full of incredible talent, we’d always leave feeling even more excited that we chose Strangers. Communication was seamless from start to finish, and every person we worked with made us feel taken care of. Strangers went above and beyond for us, even learning three new songs we requested, and they absolutely nailed them! The performance was so lively and interactive—at one point, the singers went all over the ballroom, singing directly to guests and bringing everyone into the experience. The horn section was also on the move, mingling with our guests and even getting our older relatives onto the dance floor. We received endless compliments throughout the night. It felt like everyone was either asking where we found such an incredible band or telling us how much they rocked! The dance floor was packed the entire night, with energy that never stopped. If you’re looking for a band that brings pure fun and excitement, Strangers is it. We couldn’t recommend them more! Best decision we made in the wedding planning process!
The best decision EVER!!!

My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!! Thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!!

BVTLive! was the perfect choice for our wedding band. Their communication leading up to the big day was excellent - they were very responsive and helpful as we finalized the details. On the night of the wedding, they sounded superb and kept the dance floor packed all evening. We got lots and lots of compliments on the band. I'd highly recommend BVTLive! to any couple looking for a band!

We went with Elevation with BVTLive! and they were AMAZING. They are so musically talented. We were a little nervous with our songs that we asked for the band to learn because they seemed "non-wedding", but they were perfect. All of our guests LOVED the band and all unanimously agreed that they made the night!!

Yes. BVTLive! can provide customized ceremonies, as well as live music for brunches, rehearsal dinners, after parties, and any other element of your wedding weekend that would benefit from live performances.

Once you decide to move forward, we send a simple contract that we ask you to sign and return with a $2,000-$3,000 deposit. Your balance is due ten days in advance of the performance.

Yes. All BVTLive! bands have at least a one million dollar liability policy. Proof of insurance certificates are available upon request.

Not only do our bands perform through state of the art sound systems but a highly trained and experienced sound technician is there to ensure great sound at a suitable volume. Basic stage lighting is provided. Upgrades in both areas are available at additional cost.

All of our musicians dress in formal attire unless otherwise discussed prior to the event.

We prefer ACH payments, or checks, as it helps us offer better pricing (without credit card fees). However, we can accept a major credit card, but there is an additional fee of 3 to 3.5% that would be charged.

All BVTLive!’s bands are willing to learn new songs. For weddings, if we don’t already know the songs, we would learn your first dance and parent dance songs, as well as your intro song.

The bands’ fees depend on a number of factors. Each band’s fee is unique, and is based on demand, the exact date, day of the week, and timing. Our dance bands range from $4,000 to $14,000. I understand that this is a wide range so, if you would like an exact quote, please call or click here, and we can either call or email you, whichever you prefer. If events are further than 60 miles from Philadelphia, there may be additional travel fees.

All of BVTLive!’s bands offer a customized package that includes music for your cocktails with pianist, or a Duo, and a full band performance for dinner and dancing. We also offer ceremony options for weddings.
