The 2025 Modern Luxury Black and White Gala was a night to remember. Hosted at The Ivy by Finley Catering, the entire event was a visual dream. From dress code to the stunning décor, the all-black-and-white theme enveloped every detail. Every element was elevated and elegant, and we were thrilled to be part of it.
Jellyroll Brings the Party to Modern Luxury’s Signature Event
BVTLive! was honored to provide entertainment for the evening with our iconic 12-piece band, Jellyroll, delivering a high-energy performance that kept the dance floor moving all night long. Known as Philadelphia’s original horn-powered dance party band, Jellyroll brought the perfect mix of sophistication and fun to match the event’s luxurious vibe.
With powerhouse vocals, an elite rhythm section, and a horn line that fills every room with electricity, Jellyroll has been a staple in Philly’s high-end event scene for decades.
Joining in to enhance the evening was our sibling company, On It Productions, which provided both a live ensemble for cocktail hour and elegant lighting design throughout the venue. The result was an immersive entertainment experience that elevated the evening’s ambiance from the first pour of champagne to the final song of the night.
BVTLive!’s Ongoing Partnership with Modern Luxury Philly
