My husband and I take great pride in our music taste and The Love Revival Orchestra checked every box for us. Do not hesitate to hire The Love Revival Orchestra for your event. Dave is incredible talented, professional, patient and eager to support your vision for music. Our minds were blown at the extensive music library to choose from. My family and I are big Grateful Dead fans and for the band to incorporate that into our music choices was INCREDIBLE. We are still receiving compliments a month after our wedding for the music. Skip any trivial thing you are focused on at your wedding and put energy towards amazing music. No one will remember the color of your tablecloths but EVERYONE will remember the music. If I were to do this all again, I would hire The Love Revival Orchestra in a heartbeat.

The Love Revival Orchestra exceeded our greatest expectations. The Bride’s brother hired them to play his wedding eight years before so when it came time to plan our wedding we did not hesitate to book LRO and we are so glad we continued this relationship with them.
Not only did they provide exceptional guidance leading up to the date, they crafted excellent sets based on our song selections including learning two new songs upon our request. David was very easy to work with through his busy schedule and was great at collaborating on our vision. The band was professional, kind, and brought a great energy to the day. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and singing along to the music. Our guests have told us and are still telling us how they are the best band they’ve heard at a wedding. Music was a top priority for us and we were thrilled with our choice. There were two sound technicians supporting the eight piece band and our friends in the music industry were very impressed with the sound production. It was evident that the band cared about making this a special day for us and our guests.
We could not have been happier with our choice and give them our highest recommendation.

We had Love Revival Orchestra play at our wedding in August, and would highly recommend booking them! They were awesome to work with in the weeks leading up to the wedding - including helping execute a surprise performance by the groom. Our guests were telling us all night how great the band sounded!

My extended family members use this band for their weddings and family events so I knew exactly what I was getting. I was so excited for them to play at my wedding on at Birch Wood Vineyards in NH. One month prior to the wedding they sent us a lengthy email with organized questions to answer about what songs we wanted played and which we did not. They also communicated back and forth with our venue coordinator so that I did not have to. It made our day even more perfect because communication was key and everyone knew exactly what to do. Their voices are unbelievable and they interacted with our guests when singing. We used them for our ceremony and they also learned 2 new songs to sing for us which were our first dance and the mother/son dance. My guests complemented how amazing they were and how awesome our song list was. Everyone had an awesome time!

We had Love Revival play at our wedding and was the highlight of our entire day!! We were BLOWN away. From the music during our ceremony, the piano at cocktail hour, parade down to the reception, and the amazing reception/dancing music - everything was top notch. 90% of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. We are still getting compliments from guests on where we found this band and how amazing of a night they had because of the music. David was responsive, collaborative and communicating with us every minute up to our wedding day. He helped guide us to build a perfect flowing schedule for the evening. Thank you David and the entire Love Revival Band!!

The Love Revival Orchestra is hands down the best wedding band out there. From start to finish I was impressed with them. I worked a lot with David who was responsive and flexible. I had my wedding in my parents back yard and the sound was incredible! They played for my ceremony, welcome drinks, and the reception. This band brings incredible talent, high energy, and great vibes. They gave me a list of a couple hundred songs to choose from and then curated the playlist of my dreams based on my choices. My husband was even allowed, and actually encouraged, to hop up on stage and play drums alongside them. This band is worth every single penny. I was honestly blown away by their performance. I cannot recommend them enough. This is the only band you should be considering for your event!

Love Revival was spectacular! Everyone dances the entire night. The music, vocals, songs were incredible. Dave was so easy to work with and very helpful.

My husband and I got married in June and had an absolutely fantastic experience with the Love Revival Orchestra. We worked closely with David, who was very easy to work with. He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding. David and the band took the time to learn a few special songs for us, including our first dance song. The band was terrific, keeping everyone dancing and energized the entire night. We had a guest who is a professional sound engineer who praised how great the band sounded! Their harmony and voices were fantastic. We couldn’t have picked a better band to celebrate our wedding!

The Love Revival Orchestra absolutely crushed it at our wedding. After hearing them at a friend's wedding, my now wife and I knew they were the right band for our big day. Not only did they sound incredible, they read the room's energy, and added a dimension to our wedding that we'll never forget. I'd recommend them to anyone who is getting married. We're looking forward to seeing them at a concert in New York City!

The Love Revival Orchestra absolutely slayed it at our wedding. We chose them after hearing Yacht Lobsters at a bar in Brooklyn and we tried hiring them on the spot that night. The music is such an important and crucial piece of a wedding and we couldnt give a more glowing review of this group. Literally every one of our guests is STILL talking about them when they see us and mention our wedding. We would go so far as to say they are now likely the gold standard for all 200 ppl in attendance. They curated the most perfect vibe for our most perfect day and absolutely put on the most impressive performance for our wedding celebration. The dance floor was so full there was barely room to fit everyone. No one even saw the cakes come out because they were too busy sweating it out on the dance floor— no one wanted to take a break. They delivered EXACTLY what we asked for and then some- including a stripped down acoustic-but-upbeat cocktail and ceremony music and then ramped things up perfectly into the reception to the very end. If you are looking for a GREAT time with absolute professionals to deliver the perfect musical performance to complement your dream day- look no further!

Hiring The Love Revival Orchestra for our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made! From start to finish, they brought an unmatched level of energy and professionalism that transformed our special day into an electrifying celebration. Every song they played sounded amazing and they knew exactly how to keep the dance floor packed all night long. Not a single guest was sitting down—everyone was dancing thanks to their dynamic performance. The band’s experience truly shone through in their seamless setup and stellar musical arrangements. If you want your wedding to be a memorable hit, I cannot recommend The Love Revival Orchestra enough. They don’t just play music; they create an atmosphere that’s vibrant and full of life. Trust me, your guests will be talking about how fantastic the band was for years to come!

If you need an A+ fantastic band for your special event I suggest you hire this band immediately and look no further. I hired them for my daughter's wedding and EVERYONE at the event said they have never heard a better band at a wedding. I previously heard them play other venues, so I knew how good they are. Additionally, this band is very professional, personable and incredibly easy to work with. I highly recommend them; you will be blown away!

It has been 7 months since my daughter’s wedding and each time I see someone who attended, they want to talk to me about how amazing the band was. And in specifics ! !!
Whether it was their format, energy, organization of which songs they played when, etc . . . each person has particular comments of what “blew them away” about the band.
Its obvious that they have been thinking and talking about their experience with the band at the wedding ever since that night in April.
And, without exaggeration, the one comment I hear repeatedly, “Best wedding band I’ve ever heard. “

Our wedding was an absolute dream come true, and a significant part of that magic was thanks to The Love Revival Orchestra. From the moment we first encountered their incredible talent at my cousin's wedding, my then-boyfriend (now husband) and I knew we had to have them for our special day. Fast forward to our engagement, and without hesitation, we booked them. It was one of the best decisions we made.
David and his team are true artists in every sense of the word. Their professionalism not only meets but exceeds expectations. From the first meeting, they made us feel like celebrities, and their genuine enthusiasm for creating unforgettable musical experiences is contagious.
The Love Revival Orchestra's organizational skills are top-notch. They walked us through every step of the way, ensuring that the music aspect of our wedding was seamless and stress-free. Their commitment to excellence and attention to detail truly set them apart.
One of the standout features of this phenomenal band is their expansive musical knowledge. Take a glance at their song catalog, and you'll be amazed. From Motown classics to 80s rock and early 2000s hits, they can flawlessly perform anything, and it sounds just as incredible as the original. Their versatility is unparalleled, and it was evident that they put heart and soul into every note they played.
The Love Revival Orchestra was, without a doubt, the highlight of our wedding. Our dance floor was never empty! The energy they brought to the reception and dance floor was nothing short of electric. Our guests were on their feet from the first note to the last, creating unforgettable moments. The Love Revival Orchestra was the heartbeat of our celebration, and we can't thank them enough for making our wedding day absolutely magical.
If you want a band that not only delivers exceptional music but also infuses your celebration with contagious energy, The Love Revival Orchestra is the perfect choice. We are beyond thrilled that we booked them and highly, HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in search of the perfect musical accompaniment to their special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The Love Revival truly helped us create and deliver on the retro-vibes music-themed wedding of our dreams! The entire playlist was curated with thoughtful input from David, their fearless and amazing leader, and we felt confident going into the day knowing the music would be PHENOMENAL from start to finish! Guests are STILL reaching out to share how incredible the music was and how much fun they had dancing the night away. Your search for a band stops here! Hire The Love Revival and you will be making the best decision for your wedding :)

David and the Love Revival Orchestra were AMAZING! David was super communicative in the planning of our day, and the set list hit all of the notes we wanted it to. Our friends and family danced all night and we received SO many compliments on how talented the band was. If you want everyone to be on the dance floor (and get surprised with things like an awesome Lady Gaga medley), hire these guys!

We cannot say enough amazing things about The Love Revival Orchestra!
Bottom line: If music and dancing is what's most important to you on your wedding day like it was for us, this is the band for you.
The musicians are SO incredibly talented and have an awesome selection of songs for any vibe you're going for or group you have.
We have musicians in our family and have such a love for music that when we were looking for a band we knew we didn't want to be listening to the same songs you get at every wedding you attend.
The Love Revival Orchestra was the perfect choice with an arrangement of classic old school rock and roll to electric and pop music that sounded as if a DJ were playing each track while being lucky enough to experience the energy of a big band. Not only did the band sound great, but David and the crew were so flexible and easy to work with.
Even a few of our guests left our wedding asking if we could share the band's contact information for their own weddings! We only hope we're lucky enough to see The Love Revival Orchestra again soon!

The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.

We absolutely love the Love Revival! They were the absolute BEST choice we could have made for our wedding band! We had a particular song we wanted to start off the night with which was an unusual request, and they more than accommodated this, bringing out brass horns to punctuate it and it helped really start off the party! Everyone raved about how fabulous they were and the dance floor was packed with people of truly all ages all night long. We have some incredible pictures of my grandma dancing the night away! Love Revival and especially their lead singer brought so much energy and joy that it was hard not have the same energy matched on the dance floor. We would highly recommend them!

I loved everything about my experience working with them, they were amazing. Our venue even told i they were the bet band they'd ever seen play a wedding!

We had a wonderful experience working with David and the Love Revival Orchestra. From start to finish, our experience was so seamless-- David was so responsive and flexible during all our communication. On our wedding day, we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this band. The originality of their style and the heart that went into playing every song cannot be expressed in words. The band worked with my husband, who is a musician, to add personal touches, and learned a composition of his to play at the ceremony. The venue we had our wedding at also said that this is one of the best bands they heard play. Our guests were raving, and were on the dance floor the entire time, which was so important to us. Thank you so much to David and The Love Revival Orchestra for helping make our day so incredible.

The Love Revival Orchestra was 12/10 stars. I cannot recommend them enough. From the moment they marched us from cocktail hour to the reception location, our guests were dancing non-stop. The marching band element from cocktail hour to the reception was so unique and fun, our guests were so surprised and loved it!
The set list they put together was awesome and they have a great variety of songs they can play. They had amazing energy throughout the night and kept everyone dancing the entire time. Leading up to the wedding, they were easy to communicate with and flexible. They seriously made our wedding day perfect! If you are looking for a band, look no further!

WOW! David and The Love Revival Orchestra exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding.
After seeing the band at my best friend's wedding, I knew they were great and the first people I wanted to reach out to when we booked our date. From start to finish, they were timely, organized, and incredibly thorough. They asked a ton of questions beforehand to make sure every detail was accounted for and that the day went smoothly.
We cared a lot about the music and the vibe and they really made an effort to understand what we liked and didn't like. They have a huge set list and are also open to adding a few special requests to make the day really personal to us. The dance floor was packed the entire night and it was truly the most fun I've ever had at a wedding. So many people have told us how they thought this was the best wedding band they've ever seen.
Couldn't recommend this group enough. I can't wait until we have another big party just to have an excuse to hire them again!

The Love Revival Orchestra playing at our wedding made our reception SO memorable and fun!!! Every single one of our guests told us how much they loved the band, including commenting specifically on how talented all the musicians were (we fully agree!!). They have an incredible range - they knocked it out of the park on songs from Signed, Sealed, Delivered to Dosas & Mimosas. Guests of all ages were on the dancefloor all night long. Lawrence was an awesome hype man for the night and kept the energy up from start to finish!
We had seen their spin off band, the Yacht Lobsters, play in the city and from there knew this was a group we needed to have at our wedding (even though it was many different musicians, the talent & energy level were matched!) David was great to work with leading up to the event, helping with the flow of the day as well as flow of songs in the set, considering all our input very carefully. In addition to the reception, we had the guitarist play acoustic during our cocktail hour which was wonderful. They did a great job with our first dance song ending exactly as we requested it and learned a new song for our father daughter dance - Everybody Talks - and you'd have had no idea it was the first time they'd performed it! They also helped coordinate a surprise flash mob that we had no idea about! If you want your wedding to be a blast, we strongly recommend hiring The Love Revival Orchestra!

LRO is unparalleled!!! This band will take your special celebration to the "Nth" level. Thanks to them, the only adjective that begins to describe the evening they provided is "magical". David is the ultimate MC, Dean directs a flawless musical production, and Ameerah's silky vocals and infectious smile compel everyone to the dance floor. We are already trying to think of another reason to have them again!

Love Revival Orchestra was absolutely incredible. They can do it all, from Beyoncé to Frank Sinatra. The sound was amazing and the energy was contagious. Everyone at our wedding was dancing, and we had a number of people praise the band saying they never dance this much at a wedding. And, beyond their stellar performance, David’s organization and timely communication made planning so much easier. He had a prompt response for every question we had. Love Revival Orchestra made our wedding the party of our dreams, and we could not have asked for anything more. If you’re looking for a band, stop here and book them immediately — you will not be disappointed!

My parents have been to a few weddings with this band and insisted we got them too. They created such an incredible set list and were absolutely incredible. The dance floor was PACKED the entire time. I think my husband and I sat for a total of 10 minutes the entire night. We had a mishap with our video footage of the father daughter dance, and they happily replayed the song, and even encouraged me to do it again for the memory when I was hesitant. So glad they convinced me to that, because no we will always have the memory! All of our guests are still raving about them, and are saying they can’t remember a wedding they’ve been to where a dance floor was that consistently full. We are so grateful to Love Revival for keeping the dance floor full and making our day so memorable.

The Love Revival Orchestra is not your average wedding band. They are extremely talented, and we had multiple people come up to us at the wedding and text us the day after to tell us that they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. Additionally, Dave was super flexible and easy to work with, responding to emails in <24 hours. They also learned new songs for us that we requested and they were so good we thought they were playing the actual tracks! The band also has a marching band which leads the crowd from cocktail hour to the receptions, which was a really nice touch. You can't go wrong hiring this band for your wedding!

The Love Revival Orchestra Rocks!!! Seriously. Wow!!! We could not be happier that we booked the Love Revival Orchestra for our wedding. They had all our guests on their feet dancing the entire evening. Their song list had over 600 tunes to choose from and the quality of each song was incredible. Such talented musicians who even learned a couple custom requests for us. All of our guests would not stop raving about how great "the band" was. They truly made the event unique and special, and so glad we decided to splurge on live music. They also coordinated all of the ceremony music and reception speeches and served as the "MC" which made the event flow smoothly. Super responsive and easy to work with. You can tell the band loves playing as much as the guests love dancing to their amazing music. Really can't say enough about how awesome Love Revival Orchestra is, you will be so happy you booked them!!! -Jillian and Todd, Full Moon Resort, 12/3/22

To the Love Revival Orchestra: Thank You!! My husband and I have not stopped receiving compliments on the “band” – even months after the wedding our guests keep talking to us about how unique, fun, AND talented Lawrence Trailer and the Love Revival Orchestra were. They were endlessly talented compared to other wedding bands that we and our guests have experienced. Big kudos to David who helped us organize the perfect night of songs, including a “spooky set” of Halloween music as my Husband and I were married on Halloween weekend and wanted to include our favorite holiday into our wedding night. The Love Revival Orchestra is a must have for anyone’s weddings. The attention to detail, excellent communication and organization, and overall phenomenal talent cannot be beat. My husband and I are encouraging our recently engaged friends (and soon to be) to include the Love Revival Orchestra into their weddings!! Do not hesitate to book the Love Revival Orchestra, they will deliver and keep you and your guests dancing the night away!

My husband & I worked with The Love Revival Orchestra for our wedding celebration in October 2022. We had come across this awesome band on Instagram and were immediately drawn to their energy & their unique parade. Being that my husband is from Brazil, the idea of incorporating a parade played a one-of-a-kind homage to Carnival and it was a smash hit with all of our wedding guests!! David was super responsive and easy to work with. Believe it or not, we were able to see The Love Revival at their Yacht Lobsters show in Manhattan before the wedding and knew we had made the right decision. Their song list available to select music from is extensive and they are flexible in working with the bride & groom in selecting music that will keep the party going and match your vision. They were the only band we interviewed that was as ready and excited to play Disco music as we were! Their variety of songs throughout the night was perfect and kept guests dancing the entire night. Everyone at the wedding agreed, The Love Revival Orchestra was the BEST wedding band they had ever heard and their energy was transcendent. We mixed guests from all over the world at the wedding and the energy and music was definitely the catalyst for such an amazing party. Highly recommend!

I can’t begin to explain how amazing The Love Revival Orchestra was at our wedding! We had 320 guests and not one person was sitting down the entire night! They kept the party going and I couldn’t imagine any other band being there on our special day. So many guests have reached out asking about the band and I can’t recommend them enough.
Also! Check out their other band, The Yacht Lobsters because they are amazing!

Oh. my. god. Book this band. Book this bank. BOOK. THIS. BAND.
Other than the whole "getting married" part....Love Revival Orchestra was THE best part of our entire wedding. Every single wedding guest told us during our wedding night and after the wedding that this was by far the best wedding band they've ever seen.
They learned two of our first dance songs and absolutely crushed them. They were so responsive and flexible with our requests for the flow/order of the music/ the ceremony music- everything. They worked with us, collaborated, and advised. It was truly a team effort which was such a cool feeling.
....They even let me (the vodka sodas are fogging my memory...so I'm not sure if I even asked to get on stage...lol!!) do an impromptu performance of my favorite song in the world, Rosalita, on stage to close out the night and it was probably the best 7 minutes of my entire life.
This is the best wedding band in the entire world. Book them NOW! Go! You will not regret it :)

Wow !! So much planning and effort into an incredible night. We are still riding that high. And we have now received so many positive comments from friends and family, and many, if not all, included incredibly positive feedback on the band ! The Love Revival is the go to band for your wedding day. We had a 7 piece version and it did cost a bit more than our budget, but it was well worth it. Dave and the band were incredible at the wedding, but also in the weeks and months before. He created the best set list and helped us understand timing and schedule for the music. When we ended up not wanting to spend for a DJ, he helped us create playlists that we also danced to - while the band was on break. We never sat down the entire wedding. We were dancing and having fun with our friends and family. The band was easy going, high energy and really got everyone on the dance floor for their entire sets of music. They even learned our first dance song so they could play it live rather than a recording of it. I knew these guys were good, but I had no idea how many comments people were going to share that included how great the band was. The reason for all of these comments ? Because the band was really great. They have an 'inventor' of over 600 songs, so we picked like 12 that we absolutely wanted to hear and another 50 or so that we liked. Dave then put together the music they played and it was the best. To have Shakedown Street come up so we had a little Grateful Dead even though we didn't choose it, was incredible. We also had many international friends come to the wedding and the band played songs in five different languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Hebrew. There is a reason why these guys are so busy that you have to book them months and months in advance, because they are serious musicians who know how to come together as a top top top wedding band for your special night. We see a lot of live music, as do our friends. We could not be happier that we were lucky enough to have The Love Revival as our wedding band and we could not put together enough superlatives to describe our experience with them. If you are considering them as your wedding band, reach out early and try to ensure they are available. Thank you Dave, Dean and the entire Love Revival Orchestra for helping ensure our special night was a party to remember !!

David and band were the perfect addition to making our wedding night a complete success. We had requested songs a head of time and the band nearly played all of them. They kept the energy up all night and our wedding guests raved about how much fun they had on the dance floor. Thanks to the band for making our wedding night one for the books.

"Your Band is Amazing - Where did you find them?" is the question my wife and I continuously received throughout the wedding from both other guests and other vendors. Love Revival Orchestra absolutely made our wedding day. The band leader, Lawrence Trailer, was a blast and full of energy. We had a duo for our ceremony that absolutely crushed our processional and recessional and we had a jazz trio for our cocktail hour. In both circumstances, the music was perfect and caught the vibe we were looking for. The party really kicked up when David and the rest of the band led us into wedding reception New Orleans style with a parade and music leading the way. Once in at the reception, the band played all of our music requests with the highlight being my wife's requested song, Love Story by Taylor Swift, which the band learned how to play prior to the big day. The band was flexible (wedding was in Catskill barn with no phone/wifi services) and customized/adapted to our vibe for the big day. Thank you Love Revival Orchestra!

The Love Revival Orchestra was the perfect band for our day. They personalized the songs to our liking and made the night one we could never forget. Their songs get everyone on the dancefloor all night.

Booking The Love Revival Orchestra was one of the best decisions that we made in our wedding planning and was worth every penny. They were absolutely incredible! They had an amazing energy and were able to help us have the packed dance floor that we were hoping for and their sound was phenomenal. They were also so professional, they made all of the planning seamless. They played songs from the list that we gave them while also reading the room and knowing which songs to play to keep the party going. If you are thinking about booking them, DO IT, you won't regret it!

Best wedding band EVER- what great energy and talent! My husband and I always knew we wanted a live band for our wedding, but choosing one was hard especially with the pandemic meaning we had to rely on recordings to see if we liked a band's energy. As soon as we started listening to Love Revival Orchestra, though, we said THIS is the one - their energy was infectious and incredible even in the recordings, and band leader David was awesome to work with. And on our wedding day they MADE the wedding - guests exclaimed over and over it was the best wedding band they'd ever heard. They keep the energy so high throughout the night and are incredibly musically talented and so versatile - from a gorgeous instrumental "Can't Help Falling In Love" bridal processional, to acoustic renditions of songs like "Fire and the Flood" during cocktail hour, to a hyping up New Orleans-style parade to lead guests into cocktail hour (seriously the best way to get guests inside!) to an energy explosion in our introduction, beautiful first dance, and then keeping the dance floor ABSOLUTELY packed the entire night with classic hits like "Shout" and more contemporary ones like a Lady Gaga medley - they really just kept the party going and we were absolutely thrilled with them!

The Love Revival Orchestra exceeded all expectations. They made our wedding the most fun, upbeat, memorable night ever. With guests from all over that have attended many weddings, we received so many compliments and inquiries about the band. Everyone loved David and the entire band's sound and the song selection. The parade from cocktail hour to reception was a huge wow factor and they even learned a special song for us. David was so easy to work with and very responsive, provided recommendations during the planning process, and let us be as prescriptive as we wanted. The energy on the dance floor was electric and the music truly matched the vibe we were going for. We cannot thank The Love Revival Orchestra enough for making our perfect wedding dreams come true.

I read a review when looking for the perfect band that said something like, "If you're looking for the perfect band, STOP right here and hire these guys." Wow, am I glad I paid attention to that one. Hiring this band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! So, if you're reading this, I'll pass on the same advice we followed: STOP right now, and hire them!!
My now husband and I knew we wanted the music to be the center piece of our wedding. We wanted a band that could carry the arc of the whole day from the ceremony through the end of the reception, and we didn't want the wedding to sound like a wedding, but rather an incredible event with many movements and smooth transitions. We knew it was a tall order and interviewed 17 bands before we found Love Revival Orchestra. They carried our day, making it totally cohesive and fluid, and more.
The music they provided was incredible from beginning to end. We were in several indoor and outdoor locations throughout the day, and the sound was engineered as perfectly as the music was played in each. We had classical music, Dixieland Jazz, French Gypsy Jazz, and incredibly energetic and diverse dance music. We had two parades. The energy was everything. Guest after guest told us it was the best band they'd ever experienced. These are friends who have lived in Manhattan and travel the world. My favorite moments were being lead into our reception by an incredible parade and then being surrounded by the horns and drums as we were paraded out of our reception to our exit. This was the most incredible day of our lives, and we attribute the greatness of it so much to the band.
David, the band leader, we extremely responsive and communicative from the start. I was looking for a collaborator for the event, not a hired band, and he was into it. He went above and beyond. That was a rare gift. We had several conversations and many emails, per my request, and I felt like I had a partner in shaping the sound of our wedding. I came with ideas. He a added inspiration and experience and elevated everything into perfection.
The band looks great, they sound amazing, and they are as professional as they are talented. I would hire them again and again and recommend them to everyone!

Hiring Brother Josephus was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning. Working with David was fun and easy and the band even learned a few more complex/obscure indie requests. Their performance was amazing and they had everyone out enjoying themselves on the dance floor!

The Love Revival Orchestra were absolutely amazing! Each and every musician and production member are extremely talented. We are still receiving compliments from our wedding guests about how fabulous the band was!
From their impressive extensive song list, we shared our top 70 songs and they created the most perfect setlist. From start to finish, the dance floor was packed. The "second line" parade going into the reception from cocktail hour was a fun surprise for our guests.
We had a medical incident at the wedding. The band was respectful, worked well with the venue, and even offered to extend their playing time.
I highly recommend The Love Revival Orchestra to anyone who wants to have a kick-ass wedding!

This band was a dream. Our guests had the most fun with them and the dance floor was on fire. They are such a joy to work with leading up to the event and we couldn't recommend them more.

Everyone in our families from young to old spent the entire night on the dance floor. The breadth of music this band knows is unparalleled. There was something for everyone and they made it fun. The medleys were spectacular. The energy was contageous. We went with the full complement of musicians (three horns, three singers + everyone else). They provided a jazz trio for the cocktail hour. We are now trying to figure out excuses to hire them again (family reunion next year?).

The Love Revival Orchestra outdid themselves!! David was extremely communicative from start to finish and was eager to work with us on a handful of songs which we wanted done in a specific way. The band simply CRUSHED THE ENTIRE NIGHT, spanning multiple genres of artists and songs! We received many compliments from our guests on the music – even weeks later! My father and brother are musicians and David was more than willing to allow them to jam with the band which was meaningful to us in so many ways. Take some of the stress off of your wedding planning by booking David and The Love Revival Orchestra, give him your music selection and tell him what you envision for your big day and he will help you make your day memorable. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

We hired The Love Revival Orchestra for our wedding in May, and could not have asked for a better experience. We were so impressed by the quality of the musicians and overall sound (they bring their own sound engineer), and it really made the night special. Our guests were blown away and so many of them asked how we found the band - some even said they are now converted to preferring live bands instead of DJs (about time)! The parade from cocktail hour into the reception is a nice touch - I was a little skeptical of how it would play out, but it was so unique and an awesome way to inject energy into the event.
David was amazing during the planning process - he is so responsive, accessible, and organized. He definitely knows his way around these events and can anticipate issues/concerns before they come up.
Our lead singer/band leader for the day was actually Lawrence Trailor (not David). Lawrence was so impressive, and his talent, professionalism, and energy was a major part of why the band was such a success. Everyone loved him, especially during "Shout" when he was dancing on the floor in the middle of the circle!
I'm using a lot of superlatives in this review because I'm so happy with how the day went, and I credit a huge amount of that to the band. Thank you!!!

David and the Love Revival Orchestra were AMAZING! We discovered them at a family friend's party, and we're so glad we did. Prior to meeting with David, we had been looking at other bands and DJs, but when we found the Love Revival, we knew we had found our band. What we noticed first, was how they genuinely love to perform together. David was really wonderful to work with - he is super down to earth, responsive, and clearly cares a lot about his couples! Not once did we feel we were being "sold to" (as is often the case with other bands/music groups). He provided great guidance and advice on things like number of musicians, the right instruments for ceremony and cocktail hour based on the music we wanted, and also had song suggestions when needed. The band's song list is very extensive so selecting our "must plays" was really fun. On the day of, the band was truly incredible and our guests had the best time. Many remarked at how great they were, how wide their range is, and how the band members seemed to enjoy playing together and how high their energy was. The New Orleans style parade was also a super unique and fun way to get the party started. Our family loves them so much that we plan to go see them at their gigs in NYC when we can. I can't recommend the Love Revival Orchestra enough - look no further and hire them now!

The band was amazing! They were so easy to reach out to during the planning phase (answering quickly and sharing helpful advice). Their amazing selection of songs (and ability to find the right one for the right moment for a diverse crowd) , and their ability to deal with unexpected developments as the wedding unfolded were deeply appreciated. Multiple guests of all ages said the band was the highlight of the wedding!

Look no further, The Love Revival Orchestra is the band you absolutely have to hire for your wedding. Their song list is incredible; well encapsulating of every genre, guaranteed to satisfy every guest in attendance. Better still, their renditions bring to life your dream songs in a way that no recording can ever capture. Incredibly talented and really good people who want everyone to have a great experience. Sign them up and check this off your list. They are incredibly professional and easy to work with. They will deliver and and have everyone on their feet.

The Love Revival Orchestra was easy to work with on the business end and delivered on all of their promises. We worked collaboratively on the play list, starting with an initial three set that got everyone in the groove. We had a seven-piece band, and every member was an accomplished musician, and they probably had as much fun as we did. The Love Revival Orchestra will not disappoint and David Mendelsohn is a star!

David and Love Revival made our Wedding Night!! Should these guys be available for your date, BOOK THEM NOW!!
From a planning perspective - the professionalism, quick responses on email and phone communication, and willingness to bring our visions to life was unmatched.
Then when they day came, they absolutely nailed every aspect of their performance. They started with cocktail hour then moved our guests into the reception with their parade and it was such a hit and a surprise to guests! They crushed the songs they had learned for intros and parent dances, too. And as for the reception, what a party! They had everyone on the dancefloor all night long and we could tell the band members were having a great time playing together, too.
To top it off, David surprised my husband and I with a recorded version of our first dance that was done on our Wedding Day. It was a total surprise and SO appreciative!
They easily get a 11/10. Thank you, David, for the Wedding Day that we will cherish forever!!
