    Thank you!!!

    We had Excel Live at our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! The mix of live music and DJ sets really kept the energy up all night. All of our guests, from the young ones to the older folks, were on the dance floor enjoying themselves. Frank and I couldn't have asked for a better entertainment group to make our special day truly unforgettable. Huge thanks to the whole team for being so accommodating and fun

    Best Band Ever!!

    Excel Live was amazing to work with from the minute we reached out to our last dance and every step along the way. They were extremely responsive, professional, and made our day so special. Music was something that was so important to my now husband and I and we spent a lot of time researching and meeting with bands. Excel Live offers a different sound than a lot of the dj band hybrids out there, which was much more our vibe. They have a wide range of songs that they know and learned to play many of our favorites, even my instrumental request for a Taylor Swift song to walk down the aisle with. They were open and honest with what songs might be better as a dj only song if we wanted to capture the love for the original, and I appreciated that. We met with them several times, ironed out every detail in the timeline and they exceeded every expectation I could have asked for. We have already recommended them to several other couples looking to book a band next year and would recommend them to anyone. All our guests loved them and danced all night with us. My dad even danced so hard he said had to tighten his belt so his pants wouldn't fall down. Thanks for making our night so special!

    Best Wedding Ever!

    Jason and Excel Live were phenomenal!! The dancing at the end of the night was so much fun that the crowd kept calling for an encore. Let’s just say, we didn’t want the night to end. Jason was great to work with - excellent communication. He helped us create an itinerary and we worked with him to choose music for our ceremony. Everything was perfect. We had an electric violin for the ceremony & cocktail hour. Excel Live played during our reception and we wouldn’t change a thing. Livia was an awesome singer & brought so much energy to the stage. They even learned our first dance song to play live for us! It made our night even more special. Thank you again, Excel!!

    From start to finish, Excel Live exceeded our expectations. We can't thank them enough for creating such a memorable, lively, and entertaining atmosphere for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the music, and we highly recommend Excel Live to anyone looking for exceptional entertainment for their special day!

    AMAZING - a must book vendor!

    First of all thank you excel live for making our wedding the best ever! If you are getting married you NEED excel live there. From start to finish, Jason was incredible helping us the entire way. The actual wedding was something I’ve never seen before. Every single guest said it was the best music they’ve ever seen at a wedding and it was truly unreal. Every single person was in the dance floor. I can’t say enough good things it was the best experience and the best night thanks to them!

    The most incredible night with an amazing band

    Jason and team were expectational from start to finish. The string trio during the ceremony was beautiful, followed by a reception that was beyond what we could’ve imagined. So many guests said they felt like they were at a private concert and had the best time. The dance floor was packed the whole night. Thanks for making our special day unforgettable!

    We booked Excel after seeing them play at a friend's wedding. Jason and the band were so awesome and so much fun! They played a great variety of music and were accommodating.

    Like a Personal Rock Concert

    Having Excel play at our wedding was the best decision we made in terms of vendors. It was like having our own personal rock concert! Jason, Livia and the rest of the Excel Live team put on an incredible show, something our guests will be talking about forever. They really kept the party going the whole time, thanks again guys!

    Dream dance party!

    Leading up to my wedding, I spent my train commutes watching YouTube videos of Excel. They are so talented, and I could not wait to experience their brilliance on my own wedding day. I am happy to say that they did not disappoint! My wedding guests kept coming up to me asking where I found this amazing band! The dance party was non-stop! My favorite part was that Excel allowed me to make my wedding playlist reflect my musical taste - they even did a Fall Out Boy montage just for me! Now, instead of watching YouTube videos on my commute, I spend my time watching my own wedding dance party with Excel!

    Excel Live delivers a SHOW

    Everyone wants to ensure their wedding is memorable - not only for themselves, but for their guests. Our priority was making those memories on the dance floor with our friends and family.
    We turned to Jason and Excel Entertainment to make that dream a reality - which they certainly delivered and then some. Our wedding night flew by as Excel seamlessly transitioned from one song to the next, putting on an unforgettable show. They played the all of the songs we requested, skipped the ones we did not, and read the room for the rest. No one left the dance floor longer than it took to use the restroom or grab a drink. As the night was coming to a close, we kept checking the time to do some mental math on how many more numbers we might have left. We simply did not want it to end. After the last song the crowd begged for one more. Jason and Excel obliged with an emphatic "F*!k it", and gave the crowd one additional song. It was amazing.

    Jason truly cares about the quality of the performance they deliver. He worked with our venue’s constraints to make sure it could be done correctly without compromising any quality. The band controlled the flow and vibe of the night and it was flawless. Their DJ Band Hybrid is a unique and unparalleled experience. We could not recommend them more highly or be more grateful for the night they gave us!!

    Absolutely Remarkable

    Excel Live was absolutely remarkable! Livia's voice was breathtaking and Jason perfectly orchestrated the entire night. Despite our eclectic crowd, he had ALL of our guests on the dance floor the entire night. This is the entertainer you've been looking for!

    Everything we could have asked for!

    Excel Live was everything we could have asked for. The Band DJ Hybrid was the exact thing we needed to keep our entire crowd engaged and up on their feet throughout the night. It was literally like having a live concert as the entertainment at our wedding. If you can't pick between a band or a DJ, Excel live is the move!

    Absolutely Incredible!

    Excel Live was absolutely incredible. They knew exactly how to keep the crowd moving all night like we were at a concert. The feel of a live band with the authenticity of a DJ is amazing -- there really is no other way to go. Thank you to Jason, Livia and the rest of Excel for making our night perfect!

    I didn't even want to eat dinner

    We were dancing the whole time. I was actually sad when we had to sit down to eat dinner because we were having to much fun dancing. The DJ Band Hybrid is the way to go for sure -- it's the best of both worlds! Thanks again guys, you MADE the wedding.

    Hiring Excel Live was the best decision we made for our wedding! Jason was so great to work with during the planning process and we couldn’t be happier with the music selections at our reception.

    Hire ExcelEntertainment, it's a no brainer!

    A 5 star rating on Wedding Wire doesn't do Excel any justice, they deserves thousands more. When I first saw Excel perform at my friend's wedding three years ago, I was blown away by their performance. They delivered the kind of energy that just keeps the crowd going, and going, and going. Fast forward three years later to my wedding and it's like I stepped into a time machine, reliving that day when I first had the pleasure of meeting them. When my wife first asked me "Who should we hire as our entertainment?" I immediately and ONLY suggested Excel. They delivered beyond our expectations - the crowd sang and danced to EVERYTHING they performed and left us all wanting more! Thank you Excel, you made our night so memorable. For anyone else shopping around for entertainment, take this review to heart and put Excel on the top of your list.

    Truly Unforgettable

    Our wedding night was a truly unforgettable experience thanks to Excel Entertainment. There wasn't a single person in their seat for most of the night, the staff practically begged us to sit down for dinner. Excel Live was exactly what we needed to make our wedding stand out from the rest, we couldn't have been happier with their services. Thanks again guys!

    So amazing, life of the party!

    Jason and the whole Excel team made our wedding music dreams come true. I always wanted a band and my husband wanted a DJ. We did not think this was possible until we talked to Jason. They are the perfect mix. They kept everyone on the dance floor and played all of our requests. Our guests still talk about Excel. The main singers voice is incredible and the drummer kept the vibes alive!! Not to mention logistics were flawless and Jason was available for my millions of questions at any time of the day. Thank you Excel!!!

    It's a concert at your wedding

    Livia has the most beautiful voice! This was legit like having a concert at our wedding -- it was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Plus, for any songs that you would obviously need a DJ for, the DJ is there too. It's the perfect combination to keep your all of your guests up and dancing all night.

    Excel Live is AMAZING - booked online based on videos, were blown away by INCREDIBLE LIVE performance!

    We are THRILLED that we had the opportunity to work with Excel Live! In all honesty, we found them through an Instagram hashtag, loved what we heard & saw online and so we asked if they'd travel down to Virginia Beach for us. Having never seen them in person, while we were feeling pretty confident that they'd be as awesome as they are in their videos and posts and as the reviews said, we were kinda going on faith that they'd be as legit as they looked.. but let THIS be your sign that they are EVEN MORE amazing in person than even what you see online!! We were immediately impressed with how responsive, kind, informative and just generally great Jason was over the phone, email, etc. as we were planning. He's incredibly organized and has a great online planning tool to make sure your requests, concerns, etc. are all clearly communicated and fully understood - down to the very finite detail (even how/when to announce which names, etc.). He also not only had insights and ideas on music, but also on lighting and design - turns out, Excel Live's lights are UNREAL and we have photos of our tent looking crazy cool with the addition of their lighting. Jason absolutely crushes the introductions, which isn't a small feat what with the pressure of pronouncing names correctly and in the right order.. there were some last minute changes to our announcements and I remember feeling physically relieved as we were waiting to be announced and I heard Jason cruise through the correct announcements with confidence and ease. In regards to this group's musicianship, goodness gracious this is one incredibly talented crew. They were better, and I quote, than any wedding band our guests had ever seen and the vendor's we've touched base with after the fact have echoed the sentiment that Excel is redefining and leveling-up what a wedding band can be. Our guests (mind you, we had an age range from 8 to 90 years old and the dancefloor was reflective of that!) "didn't want to leave the dancefloor," because they were having too much fun and each song was too good to walk away from! They surprised us with one extra last song - following their Take Me Home mashup which is legendary - of "Shout," and the crowd. went. wild. Absolutely epic. As seen in photos by our great photographer Emily Gibby! When planning, Jason was astute to notice that our venue closed at 10:30, which is so early! Before meeting with him, we had already planned to do an after party and had wondered if Jason's team could do it.. without us even asking, Jason asked if there was an after party planned and if we would be interested in a DJ. It was like he read our minds! Excel Live brought a second DJ set down for our after party and helped our best man host the most epic after party!! I had a friend who has been to a lot of weddings say that most after parties hope to live up to even part of the energy of the wedding.. but with Excel Live dj'ing, ours seemed to infinitely increase in energy the whole night! Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing Excel Live was and our Virginia Beach crew is looking for excuses to get them back down here ASAP. Your wedding or event or whatever you're looking to book Excel Live for will be better than your wildest dreams if you book with Excel Live!!

    Professional, Fun, Made the wedding!

    Jason from Excel Live was incredibly accommodating. We had to move our wedding last minute and he reallocated our money towards a new package without any issue. He made the change so seamless and throughout the planning process, he was incredibly responsiveness. Thank you Jason and your team for making our wedding so fun!
