Midnight Hour Band: Best Dance Band in Philadelphia

The Ballroom at the Ben: Carmella and Donnie DeMaise Wedding – March 19, 2016

My name is Donnie and my wife and I had the pleasure of booking Midnight Hour as our band for our fairytale wedding at the Ballroom at the Ben on March 19, 2016. Midnight Hour was an amazing band, they played everything we had picked on our ballet which was great. Pepper the lead singer was a pleasure to work with and also very helpful. One of the things I liked the most is how they got all of our guests on the dance floor and they really made our night a night to remember. We highly recommend using BVTLive! for your wedding!

Merion Golf Club: Meredyth Heppe and Dan Waters – October 10, 2015

"I wanted to drop you a note about the experience we had with Midnight Hour at my daughter’s wedding. HOME RUN!!!!! They were absolutely fabulous and a great addition to a perfect event. They were engaged with the party and played music that appealed to the ENTIRE audience, especially the dancing audience. I have rarely, if ever, seen a dance floor packed from beginning to end. It truly was a sight to behold and a credit to Midnight Hour. They had everybody on their feet enjoying a beautiful evening while at the same time navigating and managing the time for the regular wedding celebratory fanfare, i.e. wedding party entrance, toasts, etc. Again, I can’t tell you enough, how much the ENTIRE crowd enjoyed the music of Midnight Hour. If they ever need a reference, I know about 200 people who would be happy to oblige.

Regards,

Blair Heppe, Father of the Bride"

The Radisson Valley Forge: Deanna King and Gerard Campbell Wedding – October 3, 2015

My wife and I were married on 10/3/15 and The Midnight Hour played at our wedding. Everyone RAVED about the quality of the band, their set list, their guest interaction, and the overall atmosphere they created. The band leader Pepper and I worked together about a month before the wedding to craft a set list and create "moments" throughout the ceremony to make things like the parent dances and garter tosses truly memorable experience. A first-class band and a first-class talent agency that did business in a first-class way. HIGHLY recommended. 5/5 stars.

Cork Factory Hotel: Delaney Janson & John Carpenter Wedding – February 7, 2015

I (we) cannot say enough great things about the band, Midnight Hour! We used Midnight Hour for our daughter's wedding seven years ago and loved them then. We were fortunate to have them agree to play at our youngest daughter's wedding on February 7th of this year. The band were incredible and we heard many, many positive remarks from our guests. Our daughter was concerned that the band wouldn't be true to the original recording of the song they chose for their first dance. Well, she was thrilled with the music and that song in particular! Shavin, the bandleader was so easy to work with and went out of his way to make sure our requests were honored. The band was so professional and so much fun! They played a wide range of music, including very current songs, that appealed to guests of all ages. Having Midnight Hour provide the music for both weddings was a great decision. You will not be disappointed!

Spring Mill Manor: Corrine Cattell & James Price Wedding – October 4, 2014

"The Midnight Hour Band made my wedding sooooo much fun! They had everyone dancing before dinner even started. They walked me through the schedule of the evening a number of times before my big day and made me feel completely at ease. They took care of everything and the night just flowed smoothly. They were friendly, well dressed, and full of energy. I would recommend them to anyone and actually have recommended them to two future brides in the last month since my wedding. I love you guys! Thank you again!"

- Corrine, Bride

Ocean City Yacht Club: Kara Bolger & Neil McPeak Wedding – September 13, 2014

Midnight Hour was the absolute highlight of our reception. They are such a fantastic, talented band, and they kept the dance floor packed the entire evening (which is exactly what we wanted!) Shavin, the band leader, was such a pleasure to work with, he created a timeline that was in line with our vision of how the evening would flow and he stuck to the plan- it was perfect! Our guests raved about the band and we continue to receive so many compliments about them! This band caters to all ages and music genres. We highly recommend the Midnight Hour. Thank you so much for making our reception so memorable and so fun!

Scranton Hilton: Alyssa Berardelli & Jeff Scagliotti Wedding – June 21, 2014

Shavin & The Midnight Hour Band,

Jeff and I cannot thank you enough for all you did on June 21st to make our wedding reception unforgettable!

Your band was exactly what we were looking for! You were very professional, extremely easy to work with and most of all FUN! The compliments are still rolling in 2 months later! Our dance floor was never empty... Not once! Also, we gave your name out to a few friends who are planning weddings in the future! You're just fantastic, no other way to put it.

We also want to thank you for learning the bridal dance in such a short amount of time, as we made our choice late in the process. The fact that you did all that for us in a last minute pinch is exactly why you should be #1 on wedding band lists for engaged couples! We're looking forward to watching our video when it is ready, and reliving that amazing night!

Again, thank you all so much!! We hope to be in your company again!

Sheraton Valley Forge Hotel: Maryanne Cottone & Jake MacEvoy Wedding – August 16, 2014

Our wedding wouldn't have been the party it was without all of you!!! Not a doubt in our minds that you were the best band for the job!!! What an amazing job you all did not only learning our first dance song but keeping that dance floor full all night long- we'll never forget it!!!

Rehoboth Beach Country Club: Jessica Hinderer & Tyler Herrod Wedding – July 12, 2014

We used BVTLive!! for our wedding through recommendations of friends and family. This company was great to work with, they were prompt and very professional. The Band we used was called Midnight hour. The band leader, Shavin Duffy, was so great to work with, he gave me some great suggestions of how the night would go and certain songs to play. He wasn't pushy at all with his suggestions, simply let me know my options, which was really helpful.

I highly recommend this band and this company, you can't go wrong with hiring them!

Saavin, 

Just a quick note of extraordinary thanks to you and your entire group. You all were simply amazing in your pre-wedding detail and the complete organization of the entire event from beginning to end. You provided a very kind but knowledgable approach to everything. The guests commented that the room was energized from the beginning because of you and needless to say we all wore out the dance floor that evening. The entire wedding was a magnificent event and you were a huge part. 

Many Thanks, Tom Burns

Delaware Art Museum: Keogh-Spriano Wedding- September 29th, 2012

Fathers and Mothers of the Bride,

HIRE MIDNIGHT HOUR. Plain and simply.

I am "old and stogy", and I've gotten to the point in life (62) where I think I know everything about everything. When my daughter suggested/wanted a band, I somewhat "balked." Costs, easier for a DJ, bla, bla. The best move I made during the whole process was to agree to pay for Midnight Hour.

From the moment I met Shavin and his trumpet man, I knew we had made a good decision. He had us meet him at his favorite pizza joint (he even picked up the tab) and from the outset I could tell he was very professional. I detected that he would take a personal responsibility in doing everything under his power to insure that this would be Katy's and Ricky's best day ever.

And it was.

Shavin and his guys and girl worked the crowd and had everyone on the dance floor. I've seen many our's and Katy's friends since the wedding and each say, ..."great move getting Midnight Hour, best wedding we have ever been to."

And "NO"...I am not getting a kickback from this. They are simply that good.

-Mike Keogh (Father of the Bride)

Shavin & the Midnight Hour gang –

Hi everyone! We wanted to send you a personal thank you to let you know that you completely made our entire wedding better than we could have ever imagined. Everyone who came specifically mentioned how much they enjoyed you guys. You are so talented and choosing you as our band was one of the best decisions we made along the way. We hope we get to cross paths again!

Thanks again!

Katy & Ricky
