BVTLive! Celebrates at the 2025 Union League of Philadelphia Fall Ball

News

The 2025 Fall Ball Featuring Jellyroll Band and more!

Each November, the Union League of Philadelphia rolls out one of its distinguished social occasions of the year: the annual Fall Ball. For over a decade, we at BVTLive! have had the distinct pleasure of serving as the exclusive live-entertainment partner. This year we provided three of our award-winning ensembles (Jellyroll, Big Ric Rising and Deja Blue) along with specialty musicians for a truly unforgettable evening.

What is the Union League Fall Ball?

The Union League of Philadelphia, founded in 1862 and occupying its historic Center City Philadelphia clubhouse, is one of the region’s most elegant social clubs.

Among its many signature events, the Fall Ball stands out as a formal, black-tie celebration that brings together members, guests, and the city’s social set for a night of fine dining and dancing. Past themes (like “London is Calling” in 2024) reflect the club’s penchant for refinement and creativity. This event isn’t just a party — it’s a tradition, a perfect fit for the level of production and performance BVTLive delivers.

We were honored to be the League’s longtime partner — a trusted friend and preferred vendor year after year. Here’s how we made the night extraordinary:

  • We delivered three award-winning ensembles: Jellyroll, Big Ric Rising and Deja Blue — all representing the highest level of live entertainment.
  • On top of the bands, we offered specialty musicians to elevate key moments—entrances, plated dinners, etc
  • From sound reinforcement to lighting design to coordinating timelines with the League’s event team, we handled full-service production so that the client (and guests) could simply arrive and celebrate.
  • As the Fall Ball is a high-profile night, our teams remained polished, and seamless— ensuring the live music experience matched the grandeur of the setting.
