    BVT Live were easy to work with and brought a lot of fun to our wedding. The band showcase nights were a fun way to discover all the bands in BVT Live's portfolio. We chose City Rhythm and they did a fantastic job. Our personal favorite moment was when the trumpet player came down into the crowd and did a solo. Everyone loved it!

  • Excellent!!

    BVTLive! was all around an excellent choice for our wedding. DJ Linx was amazing! His communication was incredible; he responded to our emails and messages quickly, usually within a few minutes to an hour. We ran through the whole night with him in a few video calls leading up to the wedding. We went through all family intro pronunciations and he double checked with everyone the day-of to make sure everything was correct. He worked with our day-of coordinator to ensure the timeline was correct and everything ran smoothly. We gave him a few spotify playlists that he stuck to very well, with a few additions that were perfect. He read the room very well and everyone had a great time - kids, adults, and older relatives. The midnighters were super easy to work with! They performed for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. They have a long list of songs they are able to play for the procession and recession, and learned one song from scratch for us - a song they had never played before - and it sounded amazing. We heard so many rave reviews from our guests about how great they were. We would highly recommend both of these artists and BVTLive! as a whole.

  • The Midnight Hour band rocked the house!!

    The single handed best add to our wedding was the live band. I knew the energy would be unmatched, and when we first heard the Midnight Hour we knew they’d be perfect. Every guest was so impressed, half the time they thought the song was a recording! The highlight was our first dance. The band learned it for the occasion, and when I say they sounded even BETTER than the original Frank Sinatra version I mean they were FABULOUS!!! I would hire them time and time again. If you’re on the fence about live band it IS worth it, and BVT Live will provide.

    BVT Live and DJ Jon Gill were awesome!! BVT was so helpful and really guided us through the process of picking our wedding music. They were honest and really worked with us to find the right fit. DJ Jon Gill was our DJ and he was amazing!! We gave him some parameters, and he took over and it was exactly what we wanted!! I spent the whole redemption on the dance floor, which was perfect. :) Book BVT and DJ Jon!!
