Every summer, Main Line Today’s Best of the Main Line Party brings together the region’s top restaurants, businesses, wedding professionals, and community leaders for one unforgettable evening. This year’s celebration was especially meaningful, as Today Media celebrated the 30th anniversary of Main Line Today, transforming the annual event into both a celebration of the region’s best and a tribute to three decades of local storytelling and community influence.
Held at The Drexelbrook Event Center in Drexel Hill, the 2026 event welcomed hundreds of guests for an evening filled with award-winning food and beverage experiences, live entertainment, networking, and anniversary moments that reflected Main Line Today’s legacy.
Throughout the ballroom, guests explored a display showcasing 30 years of iconic Main Line Today magazine covers, enjoyed a celebratory champagne toast, watched a commemorative cake cutting, and recognized 30 influential individuals who have helped shape the Main Line community. NBC10’s Bill Henley once again emceed the evening, keeping the energy high while guiding guests through the celebration.
Jellyroll Band Performs at Best of the Main Line 2026
Providing the soundtrack for the evening was the Jellyroll Band, one of Philadelphia’s most celebrated wedding and event bands. As guests sampled cuisine from dozens of award-winning vendors and gathered on the dance floor, Jellyroll delivered the live performance they’ve become known for throughout the Philadelphia region.
The evening was also a celebration of Jellyroll’s continued recognition by the readers and editors of Main Line Today. At the 2026 awards, Jellyroll was honored as both:
- Best Wedding Band

These latest honors continue a remarkable legacy that spans decades. For more than 45 years, Jellyroll has performed at luxury weddings, galas, corporate celebrations, and community events throughout the Philadelphia region, becoming synonymous with exceptional live entertainment. Their longstanding relationship with Main Line Today reflects the band’s commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences year after year.
On It Productions Adds Interactive Entertainment
Guests were welcomed by another member of the BVTLive! family.
On It Productions, BVTLive!’s sibling company specializing in immersive event entertainment, provided two interactive performers dressed in Main Line Today’s signature red, white, and silver color palette. Throughout the evening, the performers greeted arriving guests, posed for photos on the step-and-repeat, mingled throughout the ballroom, and joined guests on the dance floor, adding another layer of energy and visual excitement to the celebration.
Their presence perfectly complemented the anniversary theme while creating memorable photo opportunities.
Celebrating the Best of the Main Line
The Best of the Main Line Party has become much more than an awards celebration.

As Main Line Today celebrated its 30th anniversary, the evening highlighted not only the publication’s history but also the businesses that have helped shape the community over the years. From honoring influential leaders to showcasing award-winning local companies, every element reinforced the strength and spirit of the Main Line.
For BVTLive!, it was an honor to once again be part of one of the region’s premier events—celebrating alongside longtime partners, industry professionals, and so many outstanding local businesses.
