Strangers Band - All-Time Wedding Band
We had the absolute pleasure of having Strangers provide the entertainment for the night of our wedding. Every step of the way, they were professional, heartfelt, and incredibly helpful. 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)
Best party band ever
Big Ric and Big Ric Rising made our celebration into a party that no one will forget. Our guests could not stop raving about the band. Terrific vocals, great musicians, and a party pleasing variety of music. We loved the sax, trumpet, and trombone section. On top of this, you have Big Ric with his voice, party management, and large personality. makes one want an encore.
Response from vendor•Jul 23, 2025Thank you so much for your kind review of Big Ric and the gang, Marco! We're so glad you and your guests had a good time, and enjoyed one of Philly's favorite entertainers and his dynamic band- and those Big Ric Horns! Wishing you and Margot the best!Strangers: Best Night Ever!
Strangers made our wedding night the best one of our lives! Dance floor was packed from start to finish. Multiple people told us that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and 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!
Response from vendor•Jul 23, 2025Thank you so much for your kind review, Maggie! The band had a blast with you and Foster and couldn't stop talking about the night. If you ever want to come see Strangers again, please come back out to a showcase to relive the night!BVT Live-The Experience Incredible Energy and Fun
