When we were looking for entertainment for our wedding, we wanted something truly special and unique to us. Being in a relationship with my now spouse, we had gone to many weddings and seen a wide variety from DJ's, bands and 2 piece acoustics. All were fun in their own ways, however after all of them we had thought "if only they had this" or "if only they did that." Then we were introduced Elevation. The game changed. When we sat down at BVT Live's live showcase in Ardmore, we...
...were definitely expecting quality. We saw great bands and acts perform in a reputable venue, and there were a few that I thought we should book. I was very very impressed. Then Elevation took the stage and the room shook. There was an unbelievable auro about this band that my family could not shake. Sure, sheer talent alone from the lead singers was so powerful it could destroy a small city, but it was more than that. The bands orchestrations and arrangements were so tight and and sophisticated musically. With that there was such a fantastic chemistry about them where they felt like a true cohesive unit. We felt like we were at a rock concert, for them! We forgot we were at a showcase! Our hair was blown back. After they performed a killer set, they were the ONLY band we had ever seen that came out to say hello and talk. They couldn't have been nicer. There was zero going back from this band and they were destined to be the one for us. Boy, we were so right. Working with them up to our big day they couldn't have been easier. They were so transparent and willing to work with any request at any point. Fast forward! Our wedding was perfect. One of the integeral components was the band. It truly would not have been the same without them. We danced the whole night, and everyone had an incredible time. I never left the dance floor and almost skipped cake lol. Everyone was impressed with them, and I even got to sing a special song with the band who honored a request I made! They crushed every part of the process. Everyone asked me what their name was. That's when you know you have a great band. I cannot truly recommend this band enough. They are worth every cent and will remember them for the rest of your life on your big day. Don't think about it, and just book them!! You'll thank yourself with memories that last a lifetime. BEST. WEDDING. BAND. EVER. Thanks guys for being the literal best!
Posted on Google Lindsey CordesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Book Elevation! From the first showcase at Ardmore Music hall we immediately knew this was the band we wanted. I don’t think there are enough great things to say about this band. They truly kept every single guest on the dance floor all night. Working with Lea to go over day of schedule and timing was seamless. Every must play song was top notch. Elevation absolutely made the night incredible. I wouldn’t have wanted to belt Celine Dion out at the top of my lungs with any other band.Posted on Google Matt WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our only hesitation in booking Elevation was that the the reviews seemed TOO positive - surely someone must have at least one issue to highlight, but every post just mentioned how incredible they were. We decided to book them anyway, and after having Elevation play our wedding, we understand why nobody has had anything bad to say. They simply were incredible. Our guests would not stop raving about how they are the best wedding band + created the best wedding experience they have ever had. In the leadup to the wedding, Lea was communicative and attentive. They allowed us to select as many songs as we wanted for the evening, and even secretly worked with some of our family to throw in some surprises throughout the night. During the night, they were truly everything we could have asked for. Thank you to Lea + Elevation for helping make our wedding night so memorable for us and all of our guests!Posted on Google Austin GrezeszakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did a fantastic job from beginning to end and truly helped bring our party to life. Lea was incredibly responsive and took the time to listen to every suggestion we had, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend working with Elevation for your wedding or any special event!Posted on Google meghan horlemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot begin to say enough amazing things about our experience with Elevation through BVT Live. From the moment we booked them we had an amazing experience. Their band leader, Lea, was communicative to all of our needs and always responsive and willing to jump on a call whenever we needed or had any questions. Our venue gave the band a unique situation where we would be having dinner, ceremony, and dancing all in separate rooms, all requiring music. Lea worked with our venue to make sure the setup was exactly what we hoped for. The weeks leading up to the wedding Lea worked tirelessly with our wedding coordinator to make sure the set up was what we wanted and worked for us, communicating every step of the way and making sure we were not stressed by it. The day of, they were absolutely incredible. From the ceremony music, to the intimate duo during dinner.. leading to a dinner sing a long of Cruel Summer (every swiftie's wedding dream) followed by an INCREDIBLE dance floor. The dance floor was alive the ENTIRE time from the minute they started until their last song. The band was interactive with the crowd and truly made it a night to remember! All of our guests had incredible things to say about Elevation's performance and I will be recommending them to all friends hoping to have a Philadelphia/NJ area wedding. If you're on the fence and in need of a band, Elevation is the one!Posted on Google Ryan ImpagliazzoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, working with the team at BVTLive! and Elevation was pure joy. Everyone we worked with, from Justin in sales to the bandleader Lea, was attentive, responsive, and committed to delivering a great experience for us and our guests. By the time we first heard Elevation perform at the Ardmore Music Hall showcase, we had already listened to 12 other bands that weekend. Before Elevation even finished their first song, we knew we had to book them for our NYE wedding—their musicianship is unmatched. Their readiness to personalize our selections made for an incredibly meaningful experience. Their energy and talent kept the dance floor packed past midnight. We will recommend BVTLive! and Elevation to anyone seeking polished, professional, and party-ready entertainment for their event.Posted on Google Lee&Kelsey OwensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elevation was absolutely phenomenal and truly made our wedding night unforgettable. From the very beginning, they were attentive, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with. On our first phone call with Lea, she was fully prepared, thoughtful, and thorough by asking all the right questions while also taking the time to answer every single one of ours. Lea provided such clear detail when helping us build our wedding day timeline and was always flexible and accommodating whenever we wanted or needed to make changes. When it came to our special dances, the band went above and beyond by dedicating time to learn acoustic versions, shorten songs when needed, and still include all of the most important moments we asked for. That level of care meant everything to us. Once the music started, the energy was unmatched. Elevation has an incredible connection with their guests and knows exactly how to get everyone on the dance floor. The feeling in the room was electric all night long, with guests of every age dancing, singing, and having the best time. We truly wish we could relive our wedding night just to sing and dance with Elevation all over again. Our wedding would not have been the same without them, and we cannot recommend them enough. You will not regret having Elevation be part of your magical day.Posted on Google Sean MorrisseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Elevation was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! The dance floor was packed all night—it was electric from the first song to the very last. From the groom and his dad singing with the band to the team setting up the lights, Elevation truly made the wedding feel special. A huge shoutout to Lea for being an amazing band leader and guiding us through the whole process. If you’re looking for a band that rocks, book this team—you won’t be disappointed!Posted on Google Alycia DiNofaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. To say Elevation was incredible would be an understatement! We knew we wanted Elevation to be our wedding band before my now husband and I were even engaged. They were the band for a friend’s wedding and the song range and performance was incredible. When we began our wedding planning process we had a few goals, 1. For ourselves to be dancing, singing and having fun all night. 2. For our guests to have just as much of an incredible experience as we did. Those goals were exceeded exponentially! Lea was phenomenal and so helpful during the planning process. And Connor was incredible on the day of and just made the whole ceremony and reception seamless. The music for the ceremony and for the cocktail hour was perfection. And the reception was even better, and we don’t know how that’s even possible! The band was seamless at taking any breaks needed (our guests specifically commented on the professionalism of always having 2 musicians on at all times). It’s a smaller detail but it made a major impact. Everyone danced all night long and the band was able to get a vast age range of guests up and moving! I truly can’t thank Elevation enough for being a large part in helping us achieve truly a perfect night and the wedding of our dreams!Posted on Google alexa caranciTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elevation Band was absolutely incredible! They brought the most amazing energy and kept the dance floor packed all night—our guests are still talking about them! Before the wedding, they took the time to get to know Nick and me, truly understanding our vision and even learning a few special songs we requested. Their talent, professionalism, and ability to create such a fun atmosphere made our night unforgettable!Posted on Google Cosette VincentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We truly cannot recommend Elevation enough! We are so happy we had them as our wedding band. From the start of the planning process all the way to the end of the night, they truly exceeded expectations in every way. I honestly can't imagine having any other band at our wedding, they brought so much energy and good vibes and had everyone up dancing, from the little kids to the grandparents. We loved their interactions with our guests as well; the band members were so kind and friendly. Our guests definitely will never stop talking about how awesome our band was and we won't stop saying how lucky we were to get them! Besides just being so talented and fun on the day of the wedding, they were also so helpful throughout the planning process. We felt like they completely understood what we wanted our day to be like and executed it perfectly. It was so easy to trust the band leaders would handle everything, which we really appreciated. Cannot recommend Elevation enough!!Load more
