Incredible!! Set the vibe for our wedding

Wow. NLE rocked our wedding!! We had the best time with them dancing the night away. We had multiple friends and family come up and comment to us how awesome they were. I'll never forget dancing to Shout with what had to be at least 75 people having the time of their lives on the dance floor. So many smiles. We would highly recommend NLE to anyone looking for a fun time!

Incredible!!

NLE was a massive hit at our wedding. Everyone was asking "where the heck did you find this band?!!" – the set lists, the sound, the energy... it was like being at your favorite concert. Book them!!

NLE band review

We were referred to NLE after our original 4-piece band was unable to play at our wedding. We keep telling everyone how having our original band was such a blessing in disguise because it led us to NLE – they were absolutely amazing! Stacey from NLE was a pleasure to work with, answering all of our questions and sending us a questionnaire to make sure they knew exactly what kind of music we wanted played during our reception. NLE set the ambiance during our ceremony with the acoustic duo and during our cocktail & dinner with the DJ. The reception… there is no way our wedding reception would’ve been what it was without NLE! The band & singer (Leah) were absolutely incredible! They made sure the dance floor was never empty. We received so many compliments on our band choice – Leah did a great job interacting with the crowd, it really felt like our very own concert. We cannot recommend NLE enough to anyone looking to make their wedding reception a real party!

Hands down, one of the best live bands we’ve experienced!

"Hands down, one of the best live bands we’ve experienced! They were undoubtedly the highlight of our wedding night and we have loved hearing our guests say, time and again over the last few months, how amazing the band was. We had aunt and uncles stay way past midnight because they couldn’t get enough of the music and dancing. Everyone was so talented and passionate and engaging. Stacey and each band member were professional, kind, and ultimately FUN! We had nothing to worry about on the day of the event- they took care of communication with the venue, setup, and had obviously taken the time to rehearse our song requests, because they literally blew us away! We had options from the planning stages of how many instruments and vocals we wanted and they completely customized the group based on our requests. Even more impressive- they traveled over 4hrs to be with us that night and put on an amazing show until night end. We can’t say enough great things about The Next Level Entertainment and their performance. They surpassed any expectations and have left us with the most amazing memories dancing with our loved ones of all ages. When choosing a band, especially for a wedding, they should be your top choice!!"

We love NLE!

We hired The Next Level Entertainment for our wedding music. We had 2 live musicians for the ceremony, a 6-piece band and a DJ for the reception. We LOVED them! They were the highlight of our wedding. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was.

Stacey and her team (the Next Level Entertainment) were wonderful to work with. Right from our first meeting all the way to our wedding day, we could not be happier with the top-notch service they provided. Stacey is so pleasant to be around, she's detail-oriented and incredibly organized.

We strongly recommend NLE for any event!

Nle is amazing!

Stacey and The Next Level Entertainment are a must hire!!!! We had their 5 piece band play at our wedding recently and so many guests asked me how we found them because of how incredible they are. They have great packages that incorporate both live music and a DJ which gives you the ability to have the best of both worlds. Our guests were dancing the entire night, right up until the very end. We could not have asked for a more incredible vendor to be a part of our special day. I hope there is another reason for us to work with Stacey and the band in the future.

Highlight of our wedding!

We cannot recommend NLE enough for your special event. My husband and I opted for the 8-piece band for our wedding and we couldn't be happier. Each band member is exceptionally talented in their own right, and together they were unbelievable!! Each song was better than the last and their energy kept everyone dancing ALL night!!! We received so many compliments and inquiries about the band since the wedding.
Stacey Renée was an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she an enormous talent, she is so warm and accommodating, and made the planning process so easy. She felt like a friend we had known for years.
If you're on the fence about having a live band for your wedding, 100% go for it!! Next Level Entertainment is AMAZING and your guests will have the best time!
