Back2Life Band Wedding Reviews:

Hotel Dupont: Lauren & Jeremy Barnes – October 4th 2013

I cannot say enought positive things about Back2Life. They are a wonderful band, knew just what to do, had everyone up and dancing, they were kind and professional. If I ever needed a band I would not hesitate to hire them. EVERYONE who attended the wedding commented about how much they loved the band!

Torpedo Factory: Carrigan – Houston Wedding – November 16, 2013

Back2Life: If you’re looking for an upbeat, energetic, crowd-friendly band for your event or wedding—look no further cause you want this band! No. Seriously—this band is awesome. Disclaimer—I was very skeptical of all wedding bands. I was not a crazy bride, per se, but I was very particular about what I was looking for with regards to music. I explained to Kurt (band rep) what I wanted and what I definitely did not want and they created a perfect set list that kept the dance floor and atmosphere booming all night long! Back2Life was the perfect band for us and made the night incredibly memorable. My wedding was 2 weeks ago and people are still telling me how super-great the band was and how lucky I was to find such a gem in the sea of wedding bands! I should also note that the Back2Life learned not one but two songs just for us! (ACDC’s Thunderstruck for the bridal party entrance & Sam Cooke’s Wonderful World for the father daughter dance). I really can’t say enough great things about them. They were super laidback and easy to work with and honestly enthusiastic to be a part of our big night. For anyone looking for a special event or wedding band (without the cheese and with loads of talent)…this is the band for you. I should also note that they came all the way from Philly to play our wedding in DC for a very affordable (and worth every penny) cost!!

Vie: Gee-McGarvey Wedding, July 13, 2013

Thank you so much for your awesome performance at our wedding! You had the crowd up and dancing all night! You were raved about by our guests, as well as us! Thanks again!

Best,

Nicole & Tom McGarvey

Hotel Monaco: Powell – Bell Wedding – October 26, 2013

Back2Life provided the music for my daughter's wedding reception on October 26, 2013 in Philadelphia. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with this band and with Brandywine Valley Talent. As Elizabeth and Jeff and I get feedback from our guests, overwhelmingly everyone has commented on how much they loved the band. The dance floor was packed from 6:00 PM until the last dance at 11:00 PM. Our guests ranged in age from 19 to 83 and everyone was dancing. The variety and quality of the music was fabulous. When Marci sang, "You Say it Best When You Say Nothing at All" for the first dance, there was not a dry eye in the room. Our youngest daughter is getting married in Charleston, SC, in April, and the family requested that we bring Back2Life to that wedding. I think that says it all. This is a wonderfully talented group of musicians and vocalists, and you will not find a better band in the Philadelphia area.

Greenville Country Club: Berten-Nuenzer Wedding – October 12, 2013

Hi Kurt,

Villanova Conference Center- July 31, 2013

Kurt,

Thanks again for another outstanding event at the Villanova Conference Center on July 31, 2013. It’s hard to imagine this event without Back2Life! I looked it up and the first time we hired you was in 2008, so this marked our sixth year together! Thanks again for being so easy to work with and for running the sound during graduation as well.

Sincerely,

Kathy

The Oaks Waterfront Inn: Conklin-Sherwin Wedding – June 22, 2013

Wow! You just totally rocked our son’s wedding at The Oaks in Royal Oak, MD on June 22nd. As mother of the groom, I rarely left the dance floor, and if I did, I couldn’t wait to get back. Your individual talent, your combined talent, all brought the house down. We were only a small group of 100, but it felt like 200 were up dancing. I cannot stop thanking you for your drive from Philadelphia and New York to St. Michaels MD, your time setting up, tearing down, and leaving me wishing the night would just go “on and on and on”, as you closed us out with Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin”. Your nonstop 4 hours of performing, playing, singing, dancing – incredible. I love coming to your website now to watch your posted videos. I regret not stopping and just watching each one of you individually. Your video clips now give me that opportunity. Dancing was just too much fun that night! I hope to experience you again. We first danced the night away to you at Ray Terza’s wedding in Philadelphia about 2 years ago. And when Ryan got engaged, there was no doubt that we wanted to ask you to lead our wedding reception. Thank you for your talent, your time, and your performance for us on June 22nd.

With respect and love for who you all are,

Marcia Sherwin

Loch Nairn Gold Club: Sewatsky-Frederick Wedding – May 17, 2013

We just wanted to let the BVTLive! organization know what a “beyond our dreams” fantastic wedding party we had on Friday night, the 17th. Brian got things started with the ceremony, and simply blew us all away with his presence, talent and voice. His pre- ceremony music was just awesome, and he took it down with the processional - Nirvana (Come as you are), and not a dry eye closing with “I’m Yours”. Terrific instrument talent and vocals.
Back2Life with Kurt and Marcy and entire band was just off the charts- they went beyond all of our expectations – not a person in their seats ; simply had everyone dancing until the very last note!
Compliments were heard throughout the entire evening from all of our guests, as well as the entire staff at LochNairn.
Renee – since our initial booking, your personal professionalism in the office along the way was just great as well.
Thanks to a lovely team - all of you for everything you do – so well –.

Sincerely,
From the Sewatsky and Frederick families

Chester Valley Golf Club: Marotta-Bodalski Wedding – May 18, 2013

We would like to thank all of you for the wonderful performance they gave at our daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding this past Saturday at Chester Valley Gold Club. Back2Life sounded excellent and the entire ballroom was up and dancing the entire time. Their high energy and excellent playing entertained us all evening. There was never any point where the dance floor was cleared and their performance during cocktail hour and dinner was equally as wonderful. All of our guests raved about the band all night, and I’m still hearing glowing reports from friends about them. We would be happy to recommend them to anyone who might be interested and we know that they will provide grate entertainment for many weddings and affairs to come.

We couldn’t have been happier with how they helped make our wedding reception such a wonderful evening.

Thank you again,

Cindy and Joe Bodalski

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

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!
