Cork Factory Hotel: Beard-Pan Wedding – November 9th, 2012
Dear Kurt and the Back2Life Band,
We just wanted to express our sincerest gratitude for being a part of our special day. The music was fantastic and the selection was nothing short of those iconic moments we once had in our youth. We think the tempo, attention to detail and the overall experience was just perfect. We really appreciated making sure the crowd was in the moment and varying the music choice to match the mood within the room. This truly showed true testament to the band's professionalism and experience. I have to say that Marcie and all those who sang, including you, were fantastic. Mark's guitar solo and the saxophone solo were memorable, to say the least. Again, we think that although we had magic on our wedding day, the fantasia that you brought to the Cork Factory truly enlivened the moment for us.
We can not thank you enough and would love to share moments from our magical day. If you do not mind, would you kindly share with us your business address so that we can send photos as they come on.
We look forward to hopefully seeing you at future venues and wish you nothing but our heart-felt thanks and best wishes!
Many thanks and sincerest regards,
The Pans
Center City Marriott :Alex’s Lemonade Stand- Lemon Ball: January 12, 2013
Back2Life brought amazing energy to our 7th annual gala, The Lemon Ball. Kurt and his band are a talented bunch who know how to get the crowd dancing and keep them on the dance floor all night! Our dance floor was double the size of years past but, they kept it packed for the entire party. Wokring with Brandywine Valley Talent is pure pleasure. Thank you to all!

Hi Kurt,
My family and I wanted to let you know how much we LOVED your performance last night! You, Marci, and the rest of the band were AMAZING. It was the perfect night! My mom said that was the best hora she ever heard! My dad was dazzled by the way you performed Dance Across the USA. It was exactly what he wanted! I can't tell you how many of our guests were just so impressed with all of you. Throughout the entire night everyone kept remarking how wonderful you are. Thank you again for making last night so incredibly beautiful and memorable. Please pass on our gratitude to Marci and the rest of the band. We hope there is a time when we can hear the band real soon!!!!
Best Wishes,

Hi -
I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how fantastic Back2Life was this past weekend. As you know, we were very excited to have Kurt, Marcie, Mark and the rest of the gang perform as our wedding band. From the moment we first heard them over a year ago at a BVT showcase, we knew this was the right band for us. We were so impressed with how professional and organized Kurt was in our many discussions leading up to the wedding. We felt so confident that they understood what type of vibe we were going for. They even went out of their way to learn and play a special Beatles set for us, which was amazing!We could not have been happier with their performance this past Sunday. From the first dance to the horah to the final song and even to the encore, they had all of our guests up and dancing the entire time. We received so many compliments from our guest about how fun and great the band was, and we could only nod and agree. Jill and I were up on the dance floor for the entire party and there was never a dull moment. There were many things that went into making our wedding a truly special day, but Back2Life was literally the life of the party, and it would not have been the same without them. Please feel free to share this with the rest of the band and let them know how grateful and appreciative we are for everything they did for us, both leading up to and at the actual wedding. We are more than happy to serve as a reference for them in the future and will definitely be recommending them (and BVT as a company) to all of our friends.
Thanks again for making everything so easy and so amazing. They really rocked!
Best,
Jason and Jill

Hi Kurt,
I just wanted to sincerely thank you and your band members for making our wedding night one we will never forget! You all did an awesome job, every song was great, you got the crowd going and kept them going and we loved every bit of it! Honestly, I cannot tell you how many people raved about how awesome you guys were and are still talking about it! Every time we have seen or heard from someone that was at the wedding in the past few weeks, they say something about "the band"!!! We cannot thank you enough. I would recommend you all any day of the week to anyone interested in an excellent band for an event.Thank you, thank you, thank you!!Katie

Dear Kurt, Kurt, and the members of Back 2 Life,
Thank you EVERYONE for making our wedding day just so fabulous. It was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives, and I don't think we've ever been so happy or had so much fun. So much of that was down to you all - the music was simply AWESOME (as you Americans like to say!). So many people said how great you were, from the older guests (my 75 year old uncle said he loved you) to the trendiest 20-something guests.
Rock on Back 2 Life! We love you!

Back 2 Life was a very big hit at the Chester Valley Golf Club's President's Ball last November.Their versatile repetoire and performance was top notch.The band's vocal harmonies are as good as it gets.Once the dinner set and our awards were finished, the members packed the dance floor for the rest of the night.
Band leader Kurt Manderbach was well prepared and communicated several times before the event to insure event continuity.. He is a pleasure to work with.
We look forward to having the band back again this year, as well as the B2L Trio for some apres golf and pool events.

Dear All,
Thank you for making last weekend so special. You were so terrific and so professional, I really can't thank you enough.
Take Care,
Carol and Horace
Bill set us up with Back2Life as our wedding band this past weekend and we are so incredibly grateful! Look no further than this band, Kurt and Marci did the most incredible job getting together the best song list I've ever heard at a wedding (partially my bias, but we've also had so many compliments from friends and family) and Marci kept everything on track! They had everyone of all ages dancing and singing ALL night! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Awesome vendor that hooked us up with an absolutely awesome band: Back2Life. We loved them, would 100% recommend them, and hope to find another event where we can hire them again someday! We found BVTLive and Back2Life on the BVTLive website, which is very user friendly. After searching each band's individual links, which contains a detailed song list and video clips from each band, we honed in on Back2Life as the band that spoke to us. We were then able to go see them perform live (for free) at a nearby BVTLive showcase. The live performance sealed the deal for us, and we hired them that night. A great process for the customer to be sure of what they are getting. Once the ink signed on the contract papers, we then worked directly with the band to fine tune things. The leaders, Marci and Kurt, who are super friendly and nice, met with us in person to get a feel for us, our guests, and their audience. Smart. The band was also more than happy to learn new songs we requested -- and nailed them on our big day! They nailed every other song too! Great versatility too. Marci could have filled in for Sarah Brightman the way she killed "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera. Every single person was on the dance floor for the Polish Polka song. And the band just totally rocked out on 80's hair metal staples like Jump, Final Countdown, Purple Rain, and Don't Stop Beleving (which they let us do open mic style so the crowd could join in). They also learned The Promise by one hit wonder When in Rome, just so my husband could serenade me with it! Like I said, so flexible. And we were not the only ones who thought the band killed it - we got so many compliments on them. We really, truly could not have been happier with Back2Life! Thank you!! All in all, a top notch experience. We HIGHLY recommend BVTLive and Back2Life!!
"We used BVTLive! to book a band for our oldest daughter's wedding celebration (the actual wedding was in March). BVTLive! was very nice to work with. They were professional and listened carefully to what we were looking for. They recommended the perfect band for our party - Back2Life. The party was in our garden under a tent and unfortunately, there were heavy rains. People got wet and the dance floor got muddy. Back2Life was fabulous! They kept the party going and had everyone dancing. Our guests loved them. Without Back2Life, the party would have been a soggy flop. We're glad we have three more daughters to marry so we can hire them again."
