    I don't have enough good things to say about Big Ric. He is so good that we hired him right on the spot at my son's wedding a year and a half before my daughter's wedding. And both weddings were completly different so he can customize! Not only is he so nice and so much fun but he is amazing at what he does. He kept the entire wedding dancing all night and our guests kept raving about him days later. Ric was an absolute pleasure to work with and both my son and his wife and my daughter and her husband loved working with him. No one will be disappointed in Ric and you will have the event of the year!! He is second to none!!

  • Elevation Band - Absolutely Amazing!!

    We hired Elevation Band for our Wedding at the Kimmel Center on 5/18/24. I could write a novel on how amazing they were but will try to keep it brief. They are professional from start to finish (Lea was awesome to work with) and make your entire night from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception of the highest quality. The band is the perfect mix of amazing vocalists who complement each other so well and other top quality band members. The dance floor was packed all night to the extent the dance floor was shaking at one point. The ballads at the beginning of dinner service were breathtaking. We had multiple people come up to us saying they didn't know we were having Adele at our Wedding (shoutout to Emily for her amazing ballad). I could write something on each member because they are that good!! We knew we wanted an awesome band as that can make your wedding and Elevation did not disappoint. That is all anyone talked about all night, the next day, and all of this week. Don't think twice about booking them. If you have the opportunity, you must book them while you can!!

  • The BEST BAND EVER- Big Ric Rising

    Verified review
    Debbie and P.May 7, 2024

    Big Ric and his band made our son’s wedding an awesome and memorable celebration. In addition to having very talented musicians and vocalists, they played the perfect tunes to keep everyone on the dance floor. They were outstanding from start to finish. Big Ric, the bandleader, displayed tremendous enthusiasm and command of the flow of the party. He had a real big personality and knows how to get everyone involved and up having fun. They are a big sound band with a strong horns section and excellent women vocalists. All I heard all night was how great the wedding was and that Big Ric’s band was the best they have heard. My advice is to keep doing what you do…. I highly recommend Big Ric Rising, especially if you want your guests to have an awesome time at your wedding!

    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!
