When the iconic Loews Philadelphia Hotel unveiled the grand reopening of its breathtaking 33rd floor ballroom, the evening called for entertainment as elevated and unforgettable as the panoramic city views. BVTLive, in collaboration with On It Productions, designed and delivered a fully customized 1930s-inspired entertainment experience that transformed the space into a glamorous celebration worthy of Philadelphia’s top wedding and event professionals.
A Fully Immersive 1930s Entertainment Experience
From the moment guests arrived, the tone was set with intentional detail and thematic cohesion. Every entertainment element was curated to complement the grandeur of the newly reopened ballroom while immersing attendees in the elegance of the 1930s.
Jazz Trio for Registration
During guest arrival and registration, a sophisticated three-piece jazz ensemble, The Capital Trio, created a warm and refined welcome atmosphere. The smooth, classic sounds immediately transported guests into a speakeasy-inspired setting, perfectly aligning with the event’s vintage theme.
Swing Band Welcome on the 33rd Floor
As guests stepped off the elevators onto the 33rd floor, they were greeted by the high-energy sounds of a five-piece swing band. This strategic musical placement elevated the guest experience instantly, creating a dramatic and memorable first impression as attendees entered the ballroom space.
Themed Performers & Champagne Skirt Greeter
Two custom-costumed 1930s greeters were stationed outside of the event, welcoming guests with an authentic flair to the evening. A champagne skirt greeter added a visually striking interactive element, offering bubbly in true Gatsby-era fashion and enhancing the immersive atmosphere.
Live Jazz & Bass Vocalist for Stationed Dinner
During stationed dinner, guests enjoyed the rich vocals of a live jazz and bass singer. This sophisticated layer of entertainment elevated the dining experience while highlighting the ballroom’s impeccable acoustics and intimate ambiance.
DJ Hybrid with Live Saxophone & Drums
As the celebration transitioned into full dance mode, the energy shifted to a dynamic DJ hybrid performance featuring live saxophone and drums. This multi-musician hybrid led by On It Productions exclusive DJ, DJ Linx, combined the flexibility of a DJ with the excitement and spontaneity of live performers — a highly sought-after entertainment option for weddings and corporate events at Loews Philadelphia.
Showcasing the 33rd Floor Ballroom at Loews Philadelphia
