    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

    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!

  • Best Band - Strangers!!

    I cannot recommend the band "Strangers" enough for their incredible performance at my wedding! They truly made the night unforgettable. The band had excellent communication throughout the planning process, and BVT made everything so seamless and stress-free. I loved using their user-friendly portal, which allowed me to select exactly which songs the band would play at each part of the wedding — it made customizing our playlist incredibly easy. The band went above and beyond by addressing all our special requests. They perfectly combined our father-daughter and mother-son dances, and they even made a heartfelt announcement dedicating a song to the groom’s father for his birthday. Additionally, they learned a new song to continue our family flash mob tradition, which was such a fun and special touch. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the band was, and they kept the dance floor lively all night long. I’ve never been to a wedding where every single guest table was empty because everyone was dancing the entire night. Working with "Strangers" and BVT was an absolute pleasure — they were the best vendor I had the pleasure of collaborating with both before and during my wedding day. If you're looking for talented musicians, fantastic communication, and a seamless experience, look no further!

  • What A Band....These Folks Are Pros

    These guys are pros! They went hard for our entire wedding reception...never took a break....and our guests sure noticed. It's a week after the reception and people still tell us how much they loved this band. We had a secret appearance by Hooter The Temple Owl and the band leader Chris was super helpful in making sure it was handled on the fly exactly as we asked....he is a pro like everyone in this band. Beyond the song list, the sound quality will blow you away....just so good. This is the third time they've played for a family wedding for us....book them if you can.

    Response from vendorNov 4, 2025
    Thank you for the kind words Lance! We are so glad we could incorporate Hooter into your celebration, and thrilled that your guests had a great time. Hopefully we will be playing another family event for you soon!
