Deja Blue Band: Philadelphia’s Most Versatile Band

Hotel du Pont: JDRF Hope Ball Gala – April 28, 2018

Hello Chris,
Oh my goodness…my fear of people leaving and not staying to dance was completely gone once I heard your band warm up the crowd at 7pm. We are here reconciling payments and so I haven’t had a chance to reach out to you yet, but you guys were awesome! Not only fantastic to partner with (flexible, friendly and easy-going), but you kept the crowd excited. We had so many comments about how they loved walking in to the ballroom to your band and from what I could see at 1130pm, people were still having a great time!
I’m going to be meeting with the Gala Chairs soon about next year’s event (April 27, 2019) and I’m going to pitch to them a “Into the Blue” theme. JDRF colors are all blue. It would be so cool to have Deja Blue partner with us and the perfect theme to tie together.

Thank you so, so much for making our night wonderful!

- Tarra (Executive Director)

OMG Kristen they were fantastic!! We had the best gala we’ve had in my entire tenure here. Everything just went well and on top of that, we raised the most we have in 6-8 years (I have to go back). The guests have not stopped flooding my inbox/phone with how great it was. Chris also emailed me and I said the same sentiments – it was great and they were amazing. So easy to work with! I even said that in a week or so I’m going to be meeting with our gala chairs for 2019 and perhaps they would like to save the date for April 27 because I want our theme to be “Into the Blue”…so how cool would I tbe to have Deja Blue again?

I didn’t even realize the band had a connection!
Thank you for helping to partner with us!!

Tendenza: Kelsey and Kevin Levine – December 31, 2017

We LOVED Deja Blue! They worked with us, gave good insight on what worked and what didn't, and even performed with my sister for a special song! They were so kind and our guests RAVED about them.

The Mendenhall Inn: Samantha and Christoper Myers – October 14, 2017

Deja Blue was the biggest hit of the night. It’s been a month since the wedding and people are still asking me for their name and where I found them. We have been to multiple weddings with bands and they are by far the best. We had a guest that has probably been to over 50 weddings and said our wedding was easily one of her favorites. I would recommend them to anybody looking to have a fantastic wedding. People were on the dance floor before dinner even ended!

Pomme: Danielle and Jason Orlando – October 13, 2107

Jason and I just wanted to thank you for making our wedding reception absolutely amazing! The compliments just keep coming, and everyone cannot get over how great you guys were. We knew you would be awesome, but you exceeded our expectations. My absolute favorite moment of the entire day and night was our first dance. I can't believe how great our song sounded...Andre, you nailed it!! Looking back on wedding planning, the best move we made was booking you guys. It made our night and we will remember it forever! Thank you so much for being part of our special day!!!!!

Berkshire Country Club: Meghan and Richard Schwalm – September 30, 2017

Deja Blue was OUTSTANDING! The dance floor was packed from start to finish.

Springton Manor Farm: Katherine and Travis Cuomo – August 12, 2017

We had Deja Blue play at our wedding and they were amazing! They played a great mix of popular new and old songs and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great our band was. Everyone was dancing all night, which is the sign of a great wedding and band! Thank you Deja Blue!

- Katherine (Bride)

The Water Works: Laura and Michael Izzo – July 28, 2017

Deja Blue was better than I could have ever imagined. The band blew everyone away! Everyone was saying how great they were and we loved seeing everyone dancing on the dance floor. I've been to a few weddings with live bands, and have been to BVT weddings before. Deja Blue was excellent. I barely gave them any direction. I told them a few artists I liked and told them to just keep the party moving. See what the guests respond to and get people on the dance floor. They delivered!  Deja Blue did a tremendous job, there really is nobody better. Our venue was great and the food was great, but people kept saying the band was over the top talented. Laura and I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you so much.

- Mike (Groom)

The Stone Mill: Alyssa and Ryan Mayersky – June 30, 2017

Deja Blue is phenomenal, energetic, and so full of life to get the party started! The wide range of musical selections kept all of our guests on the dance floor. And to top it all off, the drummer played the drum beat from Fresh Prince of Bel Aire for my maid of honor who rapped her speech. It couldn't have been more perfect! To anyone who is trying to decide whether or not to go with a BVT Live band, do it! It makes the night super smooth and the energy from the live band experience cannot be compared to dancing along with pre-recorded music. When you see the band is having fun, you want to have fun!!

Musket Ridge: Brooke and Jack Kilgallen – June 3, 2017

Deja Blue played at our wedding and did such an amazing job! I originally picked them because of their song list and style seemed very versatile and their band was the perfect size for our venue/budget. I couldn't have been happier I did! We had a duo for cocktail hour which sounded perfect and then the whole band for the rest of the reception. I can't say how many compliments I got about the band, no one wanted to stop dancing at the end of the night. They also did a fantastic job running the ceremony and helping to keep things on time. Kevin (the band leader) was very responsive and had some helpful suggestions in preparing for the day. My sister is going to use them for her wedding now. They were simply the best!

- Brooke (Bride)

Batello: Lisa and Dane Register – March 25, 2017

We absolutely loved Deja Blue- they were professional, had a fantastic music selection, and kept our guests dancing all night long! Everyone commented on how fantastic they were. We couldn't have been happier with the band- especially for the price we paid. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

- Lisa (Bride)

Bellevue Hall: Marcy and Greg Stewart – October 29, 2016

Thank You for being a part of our wedding! Deja Blue did such an amazing job. We had so much fun and our friends and family could not stop raving about the band. Thank you so much!

The Reeds at Shelter Haven: Surprise 60th Birthday – July 31, 2016

The guys were AWESOME!! EVERYONE LOVED them! And, several people at the party asked for their contact info so they could use them in the future -- including a young mom in our family who asked about them for her son's 3rd bday party next year in July. Brayden, the 2 year old, sat in a chair staring at them and danced in front of them and every time they guys took a break to get some water (it was brutally hot!) he would follow them and ask, "More, please!" 🙂 It was a riot. The age range of the party was 2 months old to 85 years old and everyone in between -- all loved them!! We have a huge yard here and have many big bbq/pool parties during the summer months, so will definitely be thinking of you all again sometime!

Thank you, again! The duo was a hit!

ACAC: Member Event – May 26, 2016

Deja Blue is a fabulous band!!!  Hosting an event for our members with a wide range of ages can be a challenge.  We wanted a good variety of songs to keep the crowd engaged and entertained, and they delivered and then some! Their musical talent was superb, and the playlist couldn't have been better.  The vocals were some of the best we have heard from a live band.  Our members were so impressed!  The music was non-stop and even during the break we were treated to a musical accompanied of top 40 hits with the saxophone and drums!  Amazing! They were absolutely incredible and made our event memorable.  BVTLive is always easy to work with, receptive to ideas and continues to provide us with the most exceptional talent. 

Thank you to Deja Blue and BVTLive for a terrific evening!
