NightLife Band

a welcome addition to our wedding planning. She made our day stress-free because she was on top of keeping the event on schedule! My wife and I will always remember our wedding day, in large part due to how much fun we had on the dance floor because of NightLife!

expectations. Shelli talked to us multiple times before the wedding to make sure everything was just the way we wanted. In reality we ended up relying heavily on their musical and crowd pleasing genius. The band can do everything, from the keyboard performance during the cocktail hour, the fabulous saxophone performance and of course the unbelievable vocals has our guests still talking. The dance floor was packed from the beginning to end. We could not recommend NightLife more highly and look forward to going to many more of their performances in the future.

, Shelli invited my husband and I to see the band perform at an event, they were great! Needless to say, we signed a contract that week! Shelli was amazing to plan with—she quickly answered emails, listened to all our requests and concerns, and was very detail oriented. In addition to emails, she scheduled a few phone calls with my husband and I to help us plan our event from making a timeline for our wedding, helping us select a father daughter song, and making sure she knew the correct pronunciations of our bridal party. Spoiler alert: we were still extremely impressed and looking forward to our big day! NightLife made our wedding amazing—Shelli was respectful and quick on her feet, she organized our rowdy bridal party for intros, she got a family member to move his electric scooter in front of the cake table before the cake cutting so it wouldn’t be in pictures, and NightLife brought the party. Basically no one old or young was sitting all night when the band was playing! I am from New Jersey and many of my family members are from New York. I should preface this by saying that people from up North do not think you can get quality entertainment once you leave the Tri-State area. Well, after my wedding ALL my family and friends were telling me how impressed they were by NightLife. One friend even said that my Maryland wedding was like a New York wedding because of the band. NightLife is an amazing band for anyone who is looking to have amazing entertainment and wants to work with real professionals who will help you with planning every detail of your event! We have no complaints and we would recommend NightLife enthusiastically to everyone!

ters wedding. The also set up all of our uplights which made for a fantastic atmosphere. Book them you won’t be sorry !!

rned our wedding song which was very special. We did the full band for our June 23rd wedding. People are still talking about how great they are. We had people on dance floor all night. I hope I have another opportunity to hire the NightLife band.

They contracted our string quartet, worked with us on editing a track for our ‘flash-mob,’ and made it a point to learn certain special songs that we hoped would be performed live. Shelli commutated openly with our day-of coordinator to make sure timelines were precise, and worked with us to get us everything that we hoped for on a reasonable budget. When it came to the big day, Shelli and her team were phenomenal! The energy that they brought to our reception was electric! Our family and friends love to dance, so anything but top of the line nightlife entertainment would NOT have worked. Nightlife Band was JUST THAT! They kept everyone dancing until the end of the night, and had us begging for more. Their song selection was incredibly eclectic and included everything from classic hits to today’s top 40! Thank you, Nightlife Band for making both our ceremony and reception more incredible than we could have ever imagined!

em off their seats and on to the dance floor. I wish we could do it all again! (Rhonda S.)

/18 and our guests are still talking about how awesome they were! Anyone planning a wedding knows how many details need to be taken care of; especially if you’re doing it all yourself like we did. The week before the wedding, my brother asked me to send him our song “playlist.” I just laughed and said, “We don’t need a playlist because we hired THIS band.” Nightlife gave us the confidence that they would bring the energy and feeling that “we’re all going to have a really great time at our wedding.” We never doubted that feeling for a second, because Shelli, the band leader, is so cool to work with. She totally puts you at ease and makes sure the final details are all in place for a great party! And, how nice it felt to not have to worry about things like picking out what songs to play at your reception. Yes, they will work with you to make sure you hear what you want to hear, but to have that kind of trust that they will handle everything because they know what they are doing is such a relief to an already stressed out bride! So, for all those brides out there that want to cross off one less thing to worry about – BOOK NIGHTLIFE RIGHT NOW, you won’t regret it.

The sax player is a great rapper, who knew?! We'd certainly recommend Nightlife to everyone who's looking for a very professional, organized, and talented band for their wedding.

e night was over they insisted we reach out to the band to schedule them for our upcoming wedding. Luckily, it worked out perfectly! Shelli was very nice to work with - she was very accommodating of our special requests and also gave us helpful recommendations. They traveled from D.C. to central Pennsylvania, worked well with our venue in advance to ensure day-of set up went smoothly, and also collaborated with our cousin who provided the lighting and other audio equipment. Our guests were blown away by their vocals, dance moves and overall performance! They will forever be in our memories of our special day! We would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

d. Shelli was extremely helpful in the weeks leading up the wedding, helping with timeline of the reception and flow of the wedding, and at the wedding, checking with us to make sure we were ready for introductions, cake cutting, etc. We really appreciated all the guidance and help, and we REALLY appreciate the awesome time everyone had because of Nightlife. Thank you!!

to sing and dance with the band. Everyone had a great time and danced from beginning to end. However, most importantly, they were very professional and accomodating. We held our event at a small, intimate venue that was not accumosted to doing weddings. Shelli worked with the proprietors to ensure they were comfortable with the band's set up while meeting our vision for the evening. If you are thinking about hiring them, don't think twice. This is one wedding decision that is easy to make.

on the dance floor at all times and they certainly kept the party going into the night. Thank you nightlife for making our wedding night so fun- people still talk about it a month later! XO

ance floor was packed all night long & people are still talking about how great that band was- Seriously look no further than NightLife kick your event up to the next level!

the planning process. I HIGHLY recommend booking them!

ctrifying atmosphere Shelli (the band lead singer) created. Also, she is the best wedding emcee I've ever seen. Highly, highly, highly recommend! We had a blast. THANK YOU!!!

was so mesmerized watching Shelli and Kim sing and "bust their moves!" All it takes is their first song and your guests will be on the dance floor. So, last year when my son and his now bride said they wanted NightLife to play at their reception I was ECSTATIC!!!!! I have always felt music can make or break your event and our night was absolutely amazing and NightLife helped to make it amazing. Not to mention all of the help from Shelli all of the weeks leading up the the wedding. Thank you NightLife!!

r was actually bouncing. And a special thanks for our special request, "Evergreen". It brought back fond memories for Jo and I of our wedding nearly 37 years ago. Love ya, and see you soon.

pop, hiphop, funk, reggaeton, world music - anything with a beat). So I really wanted a packed dance floor at our reception, but wasn't sure we could/should spend so much on a band. As the date got closer, I couldn't resist and decided to check into it. I think we contacted JJ&T Entertainment only 6 weeks before the wedding! We sent a list of some of our favorite artists to give an idea of our music preferences, and they quickly replied with several options. All of the bands they sent us looked cool, but we were most impressed by Nightlife's very professional video. They seemed high-energy without being too cheesy, and their video showed they could do a wide range of styles of music. Nightlife turned out to be AMAZING. It was cold, rainy and muddy, plus there was a bad generator cord so the power kept flickering in the tent. But they were such pros that they saved the whole evening. After the ceremony, we went into the house for family photos - and I was worried because the weather had slowed down the caterers and appetizers hadn't been served yet. But when I peeked outside, I was surprised to see the tent was already rocking - Nightlife had everyone jumping around. This band is so engaging!! They came out and mingled with everyone and kept the energy high. The kids loved them - one 9-year old guest was entranced by the singers and copying their dance moves, and next thing I knew they had her up on stage with them! We had a wide range of guests - blue-collar folks, teachers, lawyers, millenials, Gen Xers, boomers, and grandmas in their 80's - and they were all bopping around. My shy relatives, who answered their invites with "I'll come as long as you don't make me dance," were grooving all night. Even my groom's Southern Baptist cousins got on the floor! (I should also mention that the band kept a good eye on the crowd... when the grandmas went to bed and the college friends brought out the jello shots, the music shifted accordingly). When the band took a well-deserved break, they put on a bunch of artists we had mentioned we liked - I think they'd created a custom playlist of recordings for us! We had lots of changes to the schedule due to the weather: we had to cancel the end-of-the-night bonfire, and everything was running an hour behind. And because the wedding was on the same date as the March for Science, we did a "wedding march for science" thing that we didn't really explain to the band in advance. But the musicians rolled with all the craziness seamlessly and cheerfully! Throughout the night, everyone kept saying, "Where did you find this band?" By the end of the night, they were saying, "Best wedding EVER!!" And I don't think they were doing this just to flatter us, either - many folks stayed much later than expected, and got hotel rooms instead of driving home as planned. It was a FANTASTIC experience overall. I am just hoping that my newly engaged friend will hire Nightlife so I can dance my tail off again soon!

usualy have the 4-piece band that produces a full sound and puts on a great show. We have a wide varienty of ages at our event and everyone has a good time. The dance floor is packed the entire evening. I coordinate this event and I find the band leaders to be extremely accommodating and easy to work with. We definitely plan to have them back again next year.

tertainment that perfectly match your event, they ensure they provide everything you need to personalize the event to make it what you want it to be. And they support you through it all! We depend on them to make our events memorable and polished and they've never let us down. We'll keep booking them for all our events!

ou Nightlife for making our Pumpkins on the Green event the best one ever!

AND great entertainers!

d read all the reviews. Even before we hired Nightlife I went to check them out at a performance and I was blown away because Shelli was in the middle of the dance floor with everyone else at the event! She was the exact same way at our wedding- singing and dancing with everyone in the crowd. Thee Sax player Kurt came into the crowd to join us and get down, and one of the other members of the band was so sweet and talked with us at the head table. They are the most fun and energetic band that you could ever ask for and not only that but they are true musical artists.My wedding guests told me repeatedly during and after the wedding was how incredible Nightlife was- I had so many people ask me for their name. One of the biggest compliments was that Nightlife sounded so professional- they aren't just a "wedding band" they are true artists that are able to play all your favorite songs and sound exactly like the original songs. I loved that they can do all kinds of music- from the oldies, to the most current hits. More than anything what I love about Nightlife and Shelli is that they really enjoy their work and it's so much fun having them at your wedding. A lot of the other bands I looked at seemed to be doing it just as a job and almost seemed bored- but not Nightlife- they love what they do and it shows. I'm so grateful to Shelli and the entire band for the incredible performance and fun they showed us. They made our night the best night of our lives. Thank you, Night Life, I wish we could get married again and have you there!

de and were absolutely necessary at our wedding. Thanks Shelli, you’re the best!

s. We have had a blast working with them and dancing the night away every time. If you are in the market for a band there is no other option then Night Life. They are like family to us just like I'm sure they would become to you as well. We couldn't imagine celebrating an event without them !

the night away. Thanks to NightLife my dream came true. Even my guests that dont dance were on the dance floor. Everyone raved about them during and after the wedding. Shelli was a pleasure to work with from the start to finish. She is very responsive and made me feel at ease along the way. She was very accommodating and made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend this band they will not disappoint.

bly talented, but sooooo easy to work with and a real sweetheart. She is extremely flexible and it is very important to her that we, as the client are happy, but gets the crowd going too. She knows how important this fundraiser is so she is quick to tell guests to check out the raffles, silent auction, support the organization, etc. Love them so much we use them for our spring event, which is a wine dinner. Completely different venue and style, more dressy and low key and NightLife has no problem is switching gears to start out mellow during cocktails and dinner, ramping the party up afterward. Always leaves the die-hard dancers wanting more at the end of the night. Love, love, love this band!

TILL getting compliments on the great performance that they put on and I imagine we will continue to hear great things from our guests for years to come! My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time! Shelli was a joy to work with and a great emcee! She is very detailed driven, really wants to make sure that the performance is flawless and most importantly, that everyone is dancing and having fun. I've never seen so many wedding guests on a dance floor ALL NIGHT as I did at my wedding. There were guests of all ages on the floor! The music selection process was a breeze and NightLife Band played songs that people of all ages were able to dance to. They even let my Mother-in-law take over the microphone to sing a song! It was a hit! As a dancer since the age of 3 it was highly important to me and my husband that the music for our wedding was perfect and NightLife Band DELIVERED. I cannot say enough great things about this band. If you are looking at this page and reading this review, please book them! You will absolutely NOT regret it! Thank you so much NightLife Band for a night that my guests and I will NEVER forget! xo

rganize strings for the ceremony (string poets) who were also amazing! I would highly recommend both!!

n the past out of the water. If you are looking for a band that is charismatic, energetic, and talented this is the band you want. They make sure that everyone is up and dancing by playing a variety of awesome music and having infectious energy. They are so much fun that we can't imagine our annual party without them. Shelli is also fantastic to work with. She is very professional, responds quickly, and is always incredibly pleasant.

y any songs we didn't like. They were even willing to learn the obscure Bruce Springsteen song we chose for our first dance. They were very flexible on timing for the night, and worked well with our day-of coordinator. The band leader, Shelli Cinotti, is easy to work with and works well with the other vendors, the hotel, the AV people, etc. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They were fabulous. They book well in advance (we booked them more than a year before our wedding), so if you like them, act quickly.

reat music and showmanship extraordinaire ! Shelly and her group provide a great value , terrific show , and are very easy to work with . I highly recommend Nightlife and will be using their services again.

day one, Sarah (the bride) and I wanted to have a very fun, dance all night, kind of wedding! Well, mission accomplished, thanks to NightLife! This band doesn't just play, they perform! From encouraging guest participation, coming on the floor with everyone, special lighting effects, they've just got it all! We had heard the band at several functions before the wedding planning, and just knew we wanted to have them at our celebration. They are worth every penny!! Please book NightLife, you won't regret it! Debbie Xinis (MOB)

u are having, this is the band you want to book.

make our day so very special!

topped by their music! Our special day would not have been the same without them! THANK YOU SO MUCH NIGHTLIFE!!!!!!!!!

d of course were asking for their info to book them for their next event. Shelli is SO amazing to work with. She is an incredible lead singer and an even more awesome band manager who worked with me on everything, from incorporating a choreographed dance to keeping us on schedule for the night, and answering my many emails in a timely manner. If you are even considering a band in the DC area or outside of DC, please consider these guys. They are so talented and made our reception the best party ever. Yes, a band is pricey but they were actually more reasonable than other bands in the DC area and are SO worth it. Thank you NightLife and Shelli for making our wedding dreams come true!

ading up to the big day!

was very helpful and responsive in helping us organize the event. She provided great insight on how to make the reception run smoothly and seamlessly- from the cocktail hour, toasts, special dances, etc, so there was no stress about the event flow on the night of the wedding. The band asked what kind of music my husband and I enjoyed and used this info to put together an awesome set-list that kept the crowd dancing all night long. And, you can tell that NightLife really enjoys and has fun while performing- which helps the guests bounce around all the more. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great time dancing the night away at their wedding!

ll range of songs from classics to popular, and they keep EVERYONE on their feet. They are a bit expensive, but they are worth it. I actually used nightlife to coordinate my ceremony music and a piano player during my cocktail hour as well, so it was the perfect one stop shop. For my function, two of the lead vocalists were not there, and while I missed them, the rest of the band did an amazing job and I was not disappointed.

with us having to change the date of our wedding. Unfortunately my husband experienced health issues which required us to change the date. NightLife Band assured us that they would be with us on our wedding day and they were! I will forever be grateful to NightLife band for helping to make our wedding so special.

ur wedding or at your fund-raising event, choose NightLife. Total 5-Star Experience!.

Band we knew that was going to be the band. No band we saw has the same energy, spunk, mix of all types of music they play, and the talent as the Nightlife Band! We were beyond happy we were able to book Nightlife as our wedding band because they made the entire night! From the start to the end of our wedding no one was sitting in there seats and everyone was out on the dance floor! All of our friends and family have not stopped talking about how awesome our band was. Several people came up to us during and after the wedding telling us "that was the best wedding we have ever been too, your band is awesome!". Our venue called us the day after our wedding just to tell us how awesome our band was and that they were booking them for there big spring event they have coming up! Our venue is also making Nightlife there #1 band vendor for all of there clients! We have several friends in the process of wedding planning and have asked us for the contact information for Nightlife becuase they had such a great time at our wedding! Shelly and the band were super organized, so easy to work with, and made our reception stressfree and the best night of our life! My husband and I will be recommending Nightlife Band to anyone and everyone who asks for recommendations and we cant wait to book them for future events! Thank you Shelly and The Nightlife Band! -K.Firestone

were so good about not playing our "do not play" songs, and even played a bunch what were so new they weren't even on their playlist! It was incredible. Shelli was super energetic and fun, and she gave us the perfect advice for the timeline of our reception and when everything should happen. She even made adjustments on the fly the night of to make sure everything was flowing and everyone was having fun. They not only provided the music, but they PERFORMED-- the dance moves and coordination were amazing to watch and got everybody pumped up! I can't say I have seen a band before or since that is as amazing as Night Life. People are STILL talking about them, months later!

y played at my step daughter's wedding last month. Everyone talked about how great the band was! If you are looking for a band for a small intimate party or a large event Nightlife is the one for you!

es. Shelli, the lead singer, was extremely full of energy and had choreographed dance moves with the other members of the band. This band was the TOTAL PACKAGE and I hope they are still around when my daughters get married. Everyone, young and old, at the reception was dancing and having a wonderful time.

the style and vibe we wanted, playing all of the specific songs we requested, from pop to top 40s and a great motown vibe. We had an amazing time dancing the night away with our family and friends - it was seriously an awesome dance party. I would highly recommend NightLife to anyone wanting live music at their wedding. They took our reception to the next level and gave us exactly what I was hoping for. What more could you ask for?

ayed exactly what we wanted, and they played it ridiculously well. Every single guest that we talked to at the wedding and the morning after mentioned how amazing they were. The dance floor was packed the entire time, and they did a fantastic job at being the MC's for the party. Follow what I put in the subject line of this review. Book. Them. Now! You won't regret it.

eally enjoyed her job. The Bride and Groom wanted the most modern updated songs and the Nightlife Band really delivered!! The energy that Shelly and the band members brought to the wedding event cannot be described in words or even captured on a video! Their appearance, their professional presentation, their magnificent sound !!! The band even had mood lighting that changed with the music! Wow! Everyone is still talking about them four months later!! The wedding was held outside under a large tent on the large hill at BYC. The Band was there 3 hours early to set up their music equipment and lighting. The crew had no problem adapting to the grass lawn and lower stage. Shelli was a wonderful MC for the 200 guest wedding reception. She kept us on schedule with a smooth flow and was flexible when needed. The music kept the guests in a romantic mood throughout dinner and than amped up the energy quickly as more guests filled the dance floor. The dance floor was busy ALL night!! Everyone had a fabulous time. The band even took wedding pictures from the stage of the dancing celebration to share with us. We will definitely be booking the Nightlife Band for our next event!!!

n't enjoy dancing! Shelli was great to work with and asked specifics about what we wanted and they delivered! If you want to have a great party to celebrate Nightlife is the band!

in such a way that built the excitement level throughout the night....with young and old dancing until the music stopped. In addition to their terrific sound, their lighting and dance routines were top notch. Nightlife made the extra effort to learn the Bride & Groom's first dance song and the Father/Daughter dance song, performing both better than the original artists! Our guests still talk about Nightlife and the fantastic performance they gave! Nightlife was the first contract we signed for our daughter's wedding. A great band equates to a fantastic party! Good wedding bands are expensive, but well worth it! Make sure you book this band early! Shelli (and your band members), Thank you for creating such a wonderful evening and wonderful memories for all in attendance.

stages to make sure she completely understood our musical tastes and objectives. She gave us valuable suggestions and tips to structure the evening's schedule in such a way that built the excitement level throughout the evening, and that our guests appreciated. All of the bride and groom's friends danced the night away, and the "older" crowd also joined in for the entire night! The energy level and the excitement that the band generates is electric! Shelli also included a horn section and additional lighting effects that greatly enhanced the music and atmosphere. We've had countless guests compliment us on the choice of NightLife as the band for our reception. I just wish I had one more daughter so I could have NightLife entertain us again! THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!!!

ancing the night away. Truly a great experience and the reason why we keep bringing them back. You will not go wrong if you want to have a night of fun music, dancing and entertainment.

information. They were so easy to work with - from our "no play" list, to adding an extra hour of time last minute, to the beautiful piano during the cocktail hour, to nailing all of our special songs - first dance, mother/son, father/daughter. They really do bring the "fun factor." Another huge plus -- all of our guests, and I mean ALL of them, raved about the band. The party never stopped, and our only problem was getting people to leave once the music stopped. I highly, highly recommend Nightlife.

nished people kept coming to me asking if they could play longer. You will not be disappointed if you hire this amazing group.

e we were having our best friends performing at our reception. Our guests raved about the quality of the music and the level of entertainment and showmanship in our three performers. The attention to detail was truly impressive, making sure everything happened at the appropriate time without rushing or creating stress for us or our guests. The personal interaction between the band and us and the band and our guests made for a really special night for everyone. We want to have another event just so we can spend more time with The Nightlife Band. Special thanks to Shelli Lord for all her warm professionalism!

r planning super easy and efficient.

n they made the reception. If you want a wedding band, look around, you're bound to find one. If you want a packed dance floor, tons of energy, and you want to see your 90 year old grandmother dancing to "Party Rock Anthem", then choose Nightlife

for an event next June 7, 2014, but my event was recently cancelled. I'm pretty sure my father is sadder about cancelling the band than the event. Needless to say, THE BAND IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR JUNE 7, 2014. They sing nearly everything and entertained my family of all ages and tastes!! Shelli, the band leader, is also a very special and caring woman! She has been so supportive and helpful throughout the entire event planning and cancellation process! I have not found that type of genuine care from other vendors! I DEFINITELY reccomend this band!!

e us and our wedding guests an AMAZING show. Shelli worked with us throughout the entire wedding planning processed, offered her expertise and sage wisdom to us when we needed it, but never pressured us to do things her way. The end result was a fabulous night that we will remember and cherish forever.

cocktail hour music. Could have no been easier. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band for any event.
