The Strangers are the BEST!
The Strangers were absolutely amazing! We truly could not have asked for better entertainment for our wedding day. Rick & Denny were extremely professional and organized. They were 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!

The most AMAZING band you’ll ever hear!
Booking Carinvalè for our wedding was the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made!! Our venue had recommended BVTLive if we were interested in booking a band, so we watched one of their live showcases streamed live on YouTube. My husband and I enjoyed all of the bands that played, but one really stuck out to us, Carnivalè! We booked Carnivalè without even seeing them in person, that’s how good they are! When we did attend a showcase in person a few weeks later, they exceeded our expectations and we started counting down the days until they would play at our wedding! Working with Nils to lay out all of our options was amazing! He is the sweet person you’ll ever meet and so on top of things! Leading up to the wedding we worked closely with our band leader, El, to choose songs and create a timeline for our wedding. El and Carnivalè have played at tons of events and weddings and were super organized and easy going! Fast forward to our wedding night, El and the band were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They catered to all ages at our wedding and made it a night to remember! I really can’t put into words how much fun everyone had and how amazing the band sounded the entire night! We are so thankful to El and the band and would highly recommend them to everyone!! If you want your dance floor PACKED all night long, book El and Carinvalè!
Jillian Clark•Jun 2, 2026Thank you so much for this incredible review! We are beyond thrilled that Carnivale made such a lasting impression! It means so much to hear that they exceeded your expectations! Nils and El are truly dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience for every couple, and we're so glad their guidance, organization, and expertise helped make the planning process seamless and enjoyable. Most importantly, we're thrilled that El and the entire Carnivale team delivered the packed dance floor and unforgettable celebration you envisioned! Creating those once-in-a-lifetime moments for couples and their guests is exactly why we love what we do. Thank you for trusting BVTLive! and Carnivale with such an important day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness, and we're so grateful to have been part of the start of your next chapter together!

Pomerantz Fischer Wedding
BTVLive did an exceptional job regarding the music for our wedding ceremony and reception. Firstly, Alexandr Kislitsyn’s string quartet was fantastic during the pre-ceremony interlude 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
Jackie Marshall•Nov 4, 2025Thank you for the awesome review Dan & Emily! We are so glad Carnivale could make your night special, as well as keeping your dance floor moving all night! We wish you the best!

BVTLive! Strangers was the perfect band for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was clear, considerate, and joyful. They were true professionals, providing conscientious and happy service that exceeded our expectations. On the day of, they arrived on time and kept the dance floor packed with their excellent, energetic music. The band was so engaging, they had our guests going strong from the first song to the last. We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend BVTLive! And Strangers to any couple looking for a talented, easy-going group to bring the party!
