Back2Life Band Wedding Reviews:

Radnor Valley Country Club: Louise and Steve Pirrotta, June 21, 2025

We cannot thank you enough for the OUTSTANDING job you and your talented band did at Dana and Ben’s wedding! The energy, musicianship, and joy you brought were simply incredible. Everyone is still talking about how amazing the music was and how they didn’t want the night to end! Multiple guests even declared it the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and we wholeheartedly agree.

A special shout-out for your masterful handling of the first dance: you seamlessly blended the Schitt’s Creek version of Simply into the Tina Turner classic—an especially impressive feat given the timed choreography and instrument change!! That transition was flawless and made our first dance and dance set truly unforgettable.

Your hard work began long before the big day, and we appreciate all the time you spent meeting with Dana, Ally, Steve, and me during the planning process. From selecting cocktail-hour tunes that set a classy yet festive tone, to fine-tuning every beat of the reception set, your professionalism and creativity shone through.

Steve and I would love to write a formal review to help others discover Back To Life Band. Please send us a link to your preferred review platform (Google, The Knot, WeddingWire, etc.), so we may do so!

Thank you again for making the celebration so magical! You are Simply the BEST!

Congress Hall: Mallory and Duncan McRae, April 26, 2025

We hired Back2Life for our April 2025 wedding at Congress Hall in Cape May, NJ. The bandleader, Mark, was so easy and pleasant to work with, and the band was so talented and added so much energy to our reception. From start to finish, the dance floor was packed, and we had a blast dancing to all the hits. We highly recommend considering Back2Life for all your wedding music needs.

Philander Chase Knox Estate at Valley Forge: Anna and Ben Walsh, May 17, 2025

10/10 Recommend! We had a fantastic time working with BVTLive! and booking Back2Life for our wedding! As we were selecting a band, Justin helped us narrow down our search and was kind and courteous through the whole process. Back2Life was an absolutely phenomenal band - Mark was incredibly helpful with planning and going through all of the details. Back2Life made our wedding so much fun - they brought incredible energy, picked great songs, sounded fantastic, and kept our guests dancing throughout the whole night. One of my guests liked them so much that she promptly booked them for her own wedding! A huge thank you to Mark and everyone at Back2Life for making our wedding a night to remember.

Radnor Valley Country Club: Dana and Ben Herbay, June 21, 2025

Mark- thank YOU for making our reception the absolute talk of the town!!!  Back2Life was so fabulous, all morning at the farewell brunch everyone raved that it was the best music at a wedding they’ve ever heard. “There’s wedding bands… then there was THAT band!”

Thank you for keeping our guests on their feet all night. Your team is truly exceptional and talented and we had the best time!!!  Thank you for everything !

The Crystal Tea Room: Jacqueline and John Facciolo, December 14th, 2024

 If you are thinking about a band for your wedding, RUN and book Back2Life! Trust us you will not regret it! They had our guests on the dance floor the whole night, the way they can read the room is absolutely amazing! Their talent goes far beyond their instruments, and they know how to keep the party going! Every single person at our wedding asked for the bands name after, and I would honestly get married again just to have Back2life play! Mark the band lead was great to work with and really tailored their set to fit us, which made our wedding feel so personal. We cannot thank Back2life enough for making our wedding day one to remember! - The Facciolos (Bride and Groom)

The Manor House at Prophecy Creek: Moira and Jonathan Mehallick, May 3, 2024

Dancing all night! We had the best time with Back2Life. We attended a live showcase, which was awesome, and working with Mark was simple! We had two calls a month before the wedding to talk details, announcements, and playlists. So many people asked about the band and were praising their talent all night. We hope to see them again at another event!

John James Audobon Center at Mill Grove: Zoe and Colin Morris, November 18, 2023

Back2Life was the absolute perfect band we could have ever wanted for our wedding. They kept the dance floor ALIVE for the entire reception- they listened to our music preferences/tastes and curated the perfect setlist. Their cocktail hour music was beautiful. Everyone at our wedding talked about how great the band was, they truly made all the difference in making our wedding a great time. We are so grateful!

Ballroom at the Ben: Alexandria and Jordan Rosa, September 23, 2023

Our wedding was an absolute blast, thanks in large part to Back2Life! Throughout the entire night, everyone was on the dance floor, and no one wanted to sit down. The energy and music were so captivating that our guests are still raving about it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. They have a wide variety of songs and brought the ENERGY. If you want to ensure your wedding is an unforgettable dance party, Back2Life! is the way to go.

Elkins Estate: Sarahann and Alan Richter, September 10, 2023

Back2Life was everything we were hoping in our band and more! They were the life of the party and kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! They were accommodating to our needs and played just the right music for our taste. I would 100% hire them again - no questions asked!

- Sarahann (Bride)

Chesapeake Bay Beach Club: Christy and Joe Petrino, September 29, 2023

Back2Life was our wedding band on 9/29/23 - if you don't hire them, you're doing it wrong!! We had the best experience from start to finish in all aspects of the planning process and the day-of events. Each and every member of the band is SO extremely talented. Our guests have nonstop been raving about our band - saying our wedding band was the best they've ever heard/experienced - which makes us SO happy because a great band was extremely important to us. We had a 141 person wedding and when I tell you EVERYBODY was on the dance floor all night long, I mean everybody! Truly could not have worked with a more professional, talented, and all around awesome group for our wedding day. They paid attention to every detail to make our day exactly how we wanted it - 10/10 would recommend!

- Christy (Bride)

Ballroom at Ellis Preserve: Laura and Daniel Menken, July 14, 2023

Absolutely amazing!!! Back2Life was an absolute pleasure to work with leading up the wedding. Mark was super communicative and helped us make the right song choices for our special day. The day of the wedding, Back2Life absolutely tore down the house!!! From the first to last song, the dance floor was packed and the energy was incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding. 5-star experience - would highly recommend!

- Daniel (Groom)

Philander Chase Knox Estate: Lauren and Brendan Keenan, June 04, 2023

Fabulous, best wedding band I’ve ever experienced. Our guests never sat down! Back2Life was beyond fabulous and Mark Ludwig was so responsive and intuitive about what works. No one ever sat down, our guests commented that that might have been the best wedding Band they’ve ever heard!

- Cori (Mother of the Bride)

Tappan Hill Mansion: Hayne and Will Ritchings- October 8, 2022

When my sister-in-law got married, she had Back2Life, one of BVT's bands at her wedding and my (now) husband and knew we NEEDED them at our wedding too! When we got engaged, they were the first vendor we thought to book, and with good reason! Paul, the manager, was incredibly helpful in creating our reception timeline and answering all of our questions. Our first dance song was a bit unique but Paul said it was no problem, they would be able to learn it in time (and they crushed it!). They have an infectious energy and incredible talent. Their performances on our wedding night were amazing, our dance floor was packed all night!

- Hayne (Bride)

Temple Beth Sholom: Shoshannah and Ryan Leon – November 13, 2022

Fabulous band, we are very happy with their service. They did a great job with the songs we like.

- Shoshannah (Bride)

The Union League of Philadelphia: Courteney and Chris Algiere – November 12, 2022

We had the BEST experience with BVTLive! Back2Life was everything we dreamed of and more for our wedding! They were so helpful leading up to the event, making sure they knew our favorite music and all of our first dance/parent dance songs etc. They were so responsive, friendly, and FUN! We are still getting compliments on what a killer band they were. Could not recommend them more highly! They kept our dance floor packed all night long!

- Courteney (Bride)

Rosary Hall: Ariel and Rick Cheli – October 29, 2022

We were very pleased with how we were treated how all of our ideas were considered. The band was extremely flexible and willing to work with us anyway necessary. They were very accommodating.

- Rick (Groom)

Chester Valley Golf Club: Julia and Joe Vernace – October 22, 2022

Fantastic band and BVT. This is the 5th time I have hired Back to Life. Wouldn’t hire any other band !!!!

- Joe (Groom)

Michener Art Museum: Laurie and Tom McCaffrey – October 14, 2022

Above and Beyond Expectations. We had an amazing experience with the Back2Life band. Wedding planning is always stressful but Mark made it easy throughout the process and we've received amazing feedback from guests about the music.... we got a few "that was the best band I've ever heard!" too! We are so appreciative that they were willing to play 2 songs outside their setlist that were special to us as well. We kept going back and forth about choosing a band or DJ and so glad we went this route.

- Laurie (Bride)

The High Point: Allison and James Tomosky – October 7, 2022

We saw this band at a showcase and we were blown away. it was probably the thing that we were most excited for at our wedding. they did such an incredible job that everybody from our wedding is still talking about how amazing our band was. I would love to relive the day just so that I could dance on the dance floor with this band again. I couldn’t recommend them enough, you are crazy if you don’t hire them!

- Allison (Bride)

Avalon Yacht Club: Beth and Kevin Hylinski – September 17, 2022

We wanted to sincerely thank you, and the rest of Back2Life, for making our wedding dreams come true.  From the beginning, we wanted to throw a rocking party with a full dance floor and you guys made that happen, and more!  Working with you on ceremony music, reception details, and playlist was a breeze and we really appreciate everything that you did for us.  Our guests were singing your praises and a few asked for your contact information for future events.

- Beth (Bride)

American Swedish History Museum: Lauren and Tom Hoopes – September 3, 2022

We are beyond thrilled with how everything went and clearly our guests had the time of their lives dancing the night away together! That is truly all we could ask for on our big day and we are just so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you. You also made planning very easy and positive, which we greatly appreciated, and you all are just beyond talented and friendly. Your positive energy makes you guys stand out from the others - you can tell you have fun performing together, which is amazing! Thank you again for making our wedding dreams come true 🙂 and wishing you all a happy fall season ahead!

- Lauren (Bride)

Winterthur: Jane and Arthur Chadwick – August 27, 2022

This band should be called “Dance Till You Drop” because there wasn’t a single wedding guest not soaking wet by the end of the evening.
We were allowed to preselect our favorite songs from their extensive 300 song library and their renditions were spot on. We are Family, Brown Eyed Girl, Dancing Queen, and so much more kept the crowd in a frenzy for hours.
What was particularly special was their ability to play custom requests ahead of time. In our case, these songs took the reception to a whole new level - Miss You (our grand entrance), This Guy’s in Love with You (our first dance with the bride’s son on clarinet and groom’s son on trumpet) and the closer, Honky Tonk Woman (with the groom and his buddies on vocals) were still being talked about the next day.
Back2Life is a well oiled machine and the nine talented members seemed to be having as great a time as the guests.
Special thanks to the solo pianist for the ceremony with Can’t Help Falling in Love with You which was absolutely mesmerizing.
Ten stars out of ten.

- Arthur (Groom)

Springford Country Club: Danielle and Bret Howey – August 6, 2022

Back2Life was the perfect band for our wedding! During our reception and even a few days later as people were talking to us about our wedding, so many people commented on how great the band was. Each member of the band is so talented. The band leader Mark was great to speak to on the phone helping me prepare the music selection for the reception. The made accommodated all of my requests. One that I’m so happy they did was play Remember This that they took the time to learn. The best was when I walked into my reception and they started playing Valerie! I love that song.

- Danielle (Bride)

French Creek Golf Club: Catherine and Zach Norton – July 2, 2022

Bands are the way to go! Having gone to multiple weddings, we figured out there was one common factor that made some weddings better than others; there was a band. You need a group to orchestrate the night and a great band can do that. Encouraging groups to get out on the floor, interact with the crowd, and bring the fun through specially selected songs that every generation can get behind.

We had the opportunity to work with "Back to Life," a BVT band, and they were phenomenal! Their online portal made sharing the wedding day agenda and song selection a breeze. After a first pass, we made our initial call with the band director and went through everything, and had all of our questions answered on the spot. Mark Ludwig (band director) made our lives so easy throughout the entire process which we totally appreciate.

I think I'm speaking for everyone who attended the wedding, we could not have had a better than we did with any other bad out there.

- Zach (Groom)

Ballroom at Ellis Preserve: Maddie and Derek Dyer – June 25, 2022

Best Band EVER!!! Back2Life was everything we could have imagined and MORE! They were the best band to have at our wedding and had the dance floor packed ALL night long. Mark, the band leader, was so easy and fun to work with during the planning process and even had the band learn all 3 of our dance songs (first dance, father/daughter, mother/son). They truly made our day so special and absolutely rocked it from start to finish. 100/10 recommend Back2Life for any wedding!!!!
