This band came to our location (The White Rose) in Callaway MD for a corporate event in January 2026. Probably one of the best bands we have had. Professional, on time and high e...

We hired NightLife for our corporate Christmas party of about 450 people, and they are always such a blast. Shelli always remembers the little details about her clients, even if it...

ger to accommodate our requests, and she really helped us make the day a success by emceeing and keeping us on schedule. Throughout the night of the performance and over the days following our wedding, guests kept asking us where we found the band and telling us how much the loved the performance. We had guests dancing that usually don't touch the dancefloor. It was a blast. We couldn't recommend the NightLife band enough. They're the ultimate professionals with the way that they approach the event and they deliver on the performance. Thank you NightLife!
A few more details for anyone considering using NightLife: their rates are affordable, you can pick the number of band members you need for your event, and having them perform is so much better than having a DJ. They truly put our wedding over the top.

Shelli and Will (Nightlife Duo) are the “bestest” band in the whole world. We hired them for my wife’s 65th birthday party. We’ve been fans of NightLife for many years, and just ha...
d to have them play at her birthday party! They played a variety of songs offering a mix of current popular songs and older timeless classics from a long list of artists. Will is fantastic on guitar, and Shelli is the life of the party. So happy and energetic. I love her energy both singing and dancing throughout the night. All of our guests said how much they enjoyed them. Even the children were on the floor dancing and enjoying themselves. I know who I will be recommending to all my friends who need a band for their wedding or any other special event. We highly recommend NightLife for your entertainment needs!

Will is fantastic on guitar and Shelli is the life of the party. So happy and energetic. I don’t know where she finds the energy to be both singing and dancing that impressively throughout the whole reception! All of our guests said how much they enjoyed them. I know who I will be recommending to all my friends who need a band for their wedding or any other special event. It was so nice to know that we had made the right decision to hire the Nightlife Duo and to see it play out perfectly on our special day. I highly recommend!

From first contact to the wedding day, the NightLife Band was everything I could ever ask for in a band!! The communication was easy, attentive, and (dare I say it) fun! Shelli is ...
so full of life and energy, it's contagious, and she really made the whole process simple and affordable. We had 200 guests at our wedding and have heard nothing but rave reviews from them as well, with each band member getting different shout outs for various reasons. Truly these guys make a great team and they love what they do, and, as someone with a keen ear for music, they're great at it, too! In all my searching, no other band compares, and I'm so so grateful to the NightLife Band for making my wedding dream a reality. Much love - you'll definitely be hearing from me again for a future anniversary!
My daughter's wedding in July, 2024 was the third time we have had the Nightlife Band to a party--2 weddings and a 70th. They are a highlite every time. The music they choose, in ...
consultation, appeals across generations. At midnight, the mix of dancers spanned 4 decades. The energy they bring and sustain throughout the night makes everyone joyous. An innovation they introduced to the order of events is magic in getting the party going. Before dinner, they play dance music for 15 minutes. It really makes everyone just feel good. We think so highly of their performances that we have flown the band to Seattle twice.
The NightLife band was simply fantastic! They performed at our wedding and perfectly complemented every part of our night. From playing accompaniment to our cocktail hour or keepin...
g our dance floor lively for hours, they were exceptional! They were organized before the wedding and were proactive in learning and brainstorming how they could support our big night. On the night itself they were phenomenal, and many of our guests shared how much fun they had with the band.

ur event. She was always available to answer questions, and relayed all of our event details to Kurt, or DJ extraordinaire.
The night of our event, Kurt was phenomenal! His music selection was appropriate to the event, and he was always willing to make announcements helping us to keep the evening running smoothly. When the dance floor opened, Kurt had a great selection of songs and brought his enthusiasm to every song he played and sang. EVERYONE loved Kurt, and by popular demand we already have him booked for next year's fundraising event!

d special audio/ video was incredibly helpful. She also lined up a string duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which were also amazing!! During our reception, they kept things moving, kept the guests excited, energized and ON THE DANCE FLOOR. We had so much fun!!!

We will have another big fundraiser in 2024 and Nightlife will be our choice for entertainment without a doubt.

I cannot say enough good things about Shelli and NightLife! Firstly, my husband and I were one of the couples caught up in the spring 2020 wedding postponements and ended up having...
to postpone our wedding multiple times. Shelli was unbelievably empathetic and understanding each time and remained incredibly communicative. I so appreciated her check-ins and kind words throughout this process. She was also so flexible--we had worked out a timeline ahead of time, but of course things come up and shift in the moment--and Shelli (and team!) adapted like an absolute pro every time. An absolute pleasure to work with. And NightLife's actual performance was outstanding! NightLife is an incredibly high-energy band with a fantastic music selection, incredible performances, and fun dance moves! Our guests were absolutely raving the entire night about how amazing they were, commenting that they were the best band they'd ever seen at a wedding. I'd have to agree! The music performances were incredible, but it was evident that they were having a great time, which was infectious! We feel so, so lucky that Shelli and NightLife were able to be a part of our celebration--even after 3 years of postponements! I have to agree with our guests that they're the best wedding band around. If you're thinking about hiring them for your event--DO IT! You absolutely will not regret it.

floor!! Shelli works with the event planner and organized the entire evening. Best band and event on this scale for our guests.
My wife and I could not have been happier with having the Nightlife Band play at our wedding. Shelli was awesome to work with and was able to give my wife and I everything we asked...
for. Everyone who came couldn't stop talking about how amazing the band was. I also loved that I was able to ask Shelli if my dad could sing the mother and son first dance and she fully embraced it. We were so happy that they were able to be apart of our day and they really kept the party going from start to end.

My wife and I were so thrilled to have The NightLife band at our wedding! Shelli was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding. She was very helpful in picking songs...
that would be great for a wedding when we were looking for suggestions. The night of the wedding was unforgettable and we received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best wedding they've been to. They played all the songs/genres we requested and were very high energy! Shelli would dance with the guests and lead the group dances to keep everyone in sync. She was awesome! One thing that I was concerned about hiring a live band was them being too loud and not being able to talk with all our friends and family that we haven't seen in years, but that was not an issue at all. The volume was perfect the whole night.
I highly recommend hiring these guys! They are pros through and through! We had a beautiful, memorable wedding and couldn't have asked for a better wedding band.
Top Notch Band ! Shelli and the guys kept the music flowing and the dance floor packed at our daughters’s wedding. Everyone loved them and they knew which songs to cater to the g...

We hired NightLife Band for our daughter’s May 2020 wedding which was ultimately postponed until May 8, 2021. Wow, was it worth the wait! Words can’t begin to express how happy we ...
were with our decision to go with this band. First of all, Shelli is one of the most personable and responsive professionals that I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She returned calls and emails immediately, and she tailored the evening to our specifications, happily including all of our favorite songs. Nightlife is every bit as energetic and fun as the multitude of five star reviews suggest. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the band was, and people jammed the dance floor all night long. Don’t hesitate. Hire this band!
