Arvell and Company

or in a wedding band for my little sister's wedding. He made sure to stay in contact once we signed him on. Additionally, he went out of his way to make sure the band was ready to play a number of special songs we requested; several of which I know they had to take time to add to their repertoire. The day of the wedding, Arvell's pianist played during our dinner - which was beautiful (and included in our price.) Arvell then emceed during dinner and announced all the special speeches. He's a great emcee - kept the energy up and helped lead the show without coming across as obnoxious or overbearing. Then, the best part - the music! Arvell is a wonderful singer, and all the musicians/singers in his band are as well. Numerous guests asked me again and again about "who was playing?" and said how much they liked the band and how talented they were. They took only a few short breaks and played songs from a playlist I had requested during those breaks, keeping the party going. Not to mention the fact that the dance floor was still full when the band played their final song at 11:45! This band certainly keeps everyone partying and on their feet. Arvell then DJ-ed until 12:45 and we had a ton of guests stay through that as well. Like I said, I cannot say enough good things about Arvell. Professional, talented, fun, and flexible with the client's needs. A+ in my book.

ianist for our ceremony and hired the full 9 piece band for our reception and couldn't be happier! Arvell & Co. does an excellent job at playing all types of music for all ages. Truly everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. We love Arvell & Co. and can't wait to listen to them perform at their standing gig on Fridays at the Ritz in Clayton!

nd being the "MC" at our daughter's recent wedding reception. We were also pleased with his pre-wedding communication and willingness to customize his play list for the bride, groom and both families.

a little crazy on the mic, I can not say just how wonderful he and his whole crew are. Thank you Arvell!

ht away and is considerate and flexible. They are truly a talented group, and we are looking forward to having them rock our wedding!

age 20 to 80 have been raving about the music, the incredible vocals, and how much fun they had on the dance floor. Arvell also doubled as our emcee for the night and was very accommodating doing our announcements and any special requests we made. He was very reassuring, kind, professional, and the entire band seemed delighted to be there for our big day. If you're looking for a band that will get people on the dance floor and be classy, talented, and fun, we highly recommend Arvell and Company! We can't thank Arvell and his band enough!

over band, nor had they ever saw such talent in the midwest! Most of our guests hailed from California and suggested Arvell and Co take their act on the road! If you're looking for a band to set your event apart and touch the hearts of guests of all ages and backgrounds, Arvell is your guy. Thanks Arvell for making our night that much more special! C & C

ng the day, so we decided to go with a live band. We went to see Arvell and Co play at the Ritz one night and we were ready to book after one song. They were that good! Their setlist is good for weddings too because they play songs that everyone knows and loves.

m the time the dance music started the dance floor was never empty. We're still getting compliments on how great our band was and how it was the best wedding band people had ever heard! We'd seen Arvell & Co. perform before but even we were shocked at the range of songs they played: oldies to pop to country, pretty much everything! I didn't even bother giving them a no-play list aside from a couple artists we dislike (mainly so they knew not to play while on breaks) because I knew Arvell & Co. would play great stuff and engage with and feed off the crowd. As the bride & groom, we danced all night, which is exactly what we wanted. Everyone had so much fun at our reception thanks to them!

What an incredible night! I HIGHLY recommend them! The dance floor was filled the entire night!

t band at a wedding I've ever heard - it's pretty awesome that it was at my own!

ir musical talent, their professionalism and their charm. They kept the dance floor filled the entire night! They have a great sound and a great variety of music to appeal to every age range. I am so pleased to share our great experience with Arvell and Company. Do yourself a favor and go hear them play. or do yourself a bigger favor and just book them now. They are the best!

ompliments on the band.

one more song! They kept everyone dancing the whole time. We still keep getting compliments on how good they were. Arvell was very professional and even learned a new song for our first dance; it could not have been more perfect. They can play any type of music and is not limited to one or a couple genres of music. I highly recommend hiring Arvell for your next event.

Arvell was PERFECT in all aspects! He was incredibly professional, and made sure he had prompts from our wedding planner to read every name in the right order throughout the night. And the singing, ohhh the singing!!! For anyone looking to create a unique and special vibe, book Arvell! He sang such a cool mix of classics and modern songs that really got everyone dancing. He has a great eye for what the crowd is into. The woman singer in his group rocks too, and the horn instruments had such a cool sound. He even let my brother play with the band for one of the songs! For the father daughter dance he sang "Shama Lama" from Animal House and it was so neat! He told us he had not played that song before, but that he was happy to learn it for our dance! Having Arvell made my wedding feel truly special. Many many people came up to me after the wedding and even weeks later to tell me that was the best wedding band they have heard! There is something so classic and beautiful about having talented live singers! You will not regret choosing Arvell!
