We had an absolutely magnificent experience with EBE; Ben Ostroff worked with us on our wedding reception from beginning to end. They arenât just disc jockeys, they are masters of ceremony. My wife and I live on separate continents (husband in US, wife in France), and so Ben had to deal with Skype conferences, lists of old French songs, last minute changes, etc; he was a true professional and took care of us like a champ. Two weeks before the wedding we sat down and planned the reception to the minute; no detail was left unattended. We throughly recommend them to anyone who knows what they want and enjoys working with professionals...

Dreamtime was awesome to work with and rocked the house. I would definitely recommend this band to any other bride. They really made our night!

EBE entertainment provided top quality, professional service and execution from beginning to end. Starting from the first phone conversation and coordination with Joel Aaron and staff, and concluding with the stellar job performed by pianist Anil, DJ/Emcee John Guarracino, and the picture favors staff at our wedding, my wife and I couldn't have been happier. Picture favors were a HUGE hit with everyone. My wife and I are forever grateful for the fantastic job EBE did to make our night truly memorable. Thank you.

We had Rio perform at our wedding. We thought that they were fantastic. All the guests that I have spoken to since the wedding thought that they were fantastic. Our guests were dancing from the moment they walked into the venue until the very last song at 12:30 AM. We have nothing but good things to say!

I was blown away by the performance of Miami. They put their heart into every song they perform. We had a beautiful wedding at the Tendenza, but everyone seems to remember the band the most. A band really makes the wedding. Our wedding was memorable to everyone, of all ages. They brought the energy, wonderful performance and amazing vocals. I still am getting compliments daily saying, "that was the most amazing band I have EVER heard!" Thank you for making my wedding perfect!!!! Laura (band leader and coordinator) is organized, helpful, talented and easy to plan with!!! It was easy from the start because she obviously has lots of experience with weddings and working with/reading the audience!!!! I am just so grateful!

EBE's Monte Carlo, under the direction of Brian Lizzi, was incredible. My daughter's wedding was last month and our guests could not stop raving about the quality of the music and the energy and life they added to the reception. Many of our guests said that this group was incomparable; the best they had heard in a long time. We would highly recommend Monte Carlo; they could not have been more responsive to collaborating on the details of what was wanted. They're terrific people who were able to offer top notch entertainment. We absolutely loved them!

Rio, part of EBE, is the most incredible band! They will exceed your expectations, and then some. If you're looking for a band, stop...because you've found them. Rio all the way!

Monte Carlo is the best! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this band and Brian! From start to finish the entire dance floor at our wedding was packed! We have all been to many main line weddings with various bands and every single guest at our wedding said that this was the best wedding band they have ever heard and I couldnât agree more! I had multiple people come up to me and say that they never usually dance, but that Monte Carlo was so amazing that they couldnât resist and danced the whole night! My husband and I requested extremely unknown songs for our wedding processional by bands that many people have never heard of. They learned these songs so perfectly and provided for me the wedding processional and entrance that I always dreamed of! From the beginning Brian said not to worry and that Monte Carlo is âkilling itâ and keeping people dancing all night long. He was absolutely right! I am very particular and I can honestly tell you that Monte Carlo far exceeded my expectations! They are the best!

EBE...Dreamtime is OUTSTANDING!!! What amazing music and just a class act.So many guests commented on the music and said they thought they were listening to the actual artist! We knew ahead of time that we had a dancing crowd, (they were up and partying even before the bridal party was announced), but Casey and the rest of Dreamtime kept us ALL on our feet for the whole night!! And that's even after our feet were starting to kill us :). Why are they called Dreamtime??, they help to make the whole event a dream come true!! Many thanks and appreciation to all of you involved.

Paris was amazing! Our guests can't stop talking about how great our band was. They had everyone up and dancing all night! They also did a beautiful job with our ceremony music and played our special request songs perfectly. During the reception, Paris felt the mood of the crowd and kept the energy high. Our guests, old and young, loved the music and we did too. At first we were going to get a DJ to save money, but we are so glad we decided to spend a little more and get a band. Paris kept the party rocking in a way a DJ couldn't have. Troy, the bandleader, was great and helped us to come up with a good timeline for our night. At first EBE seemed a little shady with a weird office on Delaware Ave. (they recently remodled - so their office may be different now) but our sales rep, Elaine, was great and in the end it was Paris we were working with and they were absolutely fabulous!!!! I would definitely reccomend Paris to anyone that wants an extremely talented, high-energy band that will make your wedding or event a night everyone will remember!

When we first discovered EBE and RIO through a search on Wedding Wire, we knew this was the band for our wedding. We contacted RIOâs band leader, Jonathan Harwood, right away and arranged to see/hear them in person at one of their âShowcasesâ in Philly. We were not disappointed, and immediately contracted them to perform at our wedding. Truth be told, we actually switched our wedding date to a day that they were availableâŠthatâs how much we wanted RIO! Working with Jonathan (who b/t/w is also an EBE sales rep and event specialist) was a real pleasure. Heâs such an upbeat guy, extremely cooperative, and was always available to answer any questions we had. He patiently helped us with our music selections, reception time frame, as well as extra tweaks we wanted to add. I donât think there was anything that we asked of Jonathan that he was not able to deliver. My husband really wanted to play the guitar with the band at the receptionâŠno problem. We wanted our friend to sing at the ceremony accompanied by two of RIOâs musiciansâŠno problem. Another great thing about Jonathan is since he has worked at so many Philadelphia venues, he is familiar with their layouts and can quickly assess not only where the band will be situated, but also any idiosyncrasies of each particular venue. RIOâs performance at our wedding was thoroughly professional, utterly classy, and absolutely FABULOUS! Our guests, both young and old, were blown away with the music and the dance floor was filled through the night! Their repertoire is outstanding - from the oldies of the 50s to the most current of musical selections. This was very important to us since we really wanted an eclectic collection of songs played throughout the evening and RIO sure delivered! Plus (and very importantly), Jonathan and his crew have an amazing knack for âreading the crowdâ and choosing the right songs at the right times to keep the flow going strong. My husband and I had a blast on the dance floor with all our friends and family, and our guests could not stop raving about our band. RIO played a major part in making our wedding magical and we recommend them, and EBE, emphatically!

Monte Carlo â BEST BAND EVER. We just had our wedding at Congress Hall in Cape May on 10/22/11 and we had booked Monte Carlo months ago after meeting with the band leader, Brian Lizzi, and seeing several showcases at EBE. From the start, we clicked with Brian Lizzi and loved all of the members of the band (Tara âloooooooove her, Nikki, Jermaine, Damon) who knew that we wanted the music to be off the charts to get people up and dancing all night. We wanted a mix of new and old music to appeal to all audiences and honestly, Monte Carlo delivered and exceeded any expectations we had! Everything they promised came true. The jazz ensemble during cocktail hour, the obscure first dance and groom/mother songs that we asked them to learn were exactly like the original, the little special things we asked them to do throughout the night, everything was exactly as we requested, only better. Every single one of the band members came to our wedding to âbring itâ ! It felt like they played and sang for us with excitement as if it were their last. And they looked like they were having fun too which was awesome. Our guests chanted âone moreâ songâ after their finale! Guests were raving, even still, that Monte Carlo was the best band theyâve heard at a wedding, ever. We could not have made a better decision on the music for our wedding. We are so happy we chose Monte Carlo. Wish we could relive the night b/c it was so great!!! Thank you, Monte Carlo!!! Love, John & Katie Leubecker

London was simply awesome!!! The contact from the company was great leading up to the wedding and the ability to tailor our song list not only with what was offered, but to have the ability to request new songs for our event was a nice perk. Our event was perfect from start to finish and london was a big part of it as they kept the crowd dancing and entertained throughout the whole night. Thanks for everything!!!Jennifer & Christopher

Ben Ostroff was our DJ and I can say we really liked him from the moment we met him at an EBE Showcase. He was fantastic and he really listened to us and really captured the vibe we were going for. He was a great part of our wedding.We also used a pianist from EBE, Arthur Paley. For our ceremony music, we went off the beaten trail and he kept right up with us. He played Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are as I walked down the aisle and let me tell you...I could have started crying then! Everything was perfect. Thank you EBE!

We got so many comments from friends and family on how wonderful our band (London) was! They were so easy to work with and made the wedding night for sure. Everyone was dancing and having a great time all night. They played a great mix of new and old favorites. They also did a terrific job on our first dance song. We were blown away by our experience with London. Thank you so much!

Tom Hefferon from EBE was an amazing DJ!! He paid attention to every little detail, kept everyone on the dance floor and really made the wedding spectacular by tending to all our requests. He was flexible when we wanted the introductions changed last minute, took cues from us when we wanted all couples to join us in our first dance (which was one of the best memories I have of the whole wedding), and really made the dance floor the life of the party (which is exactly what we wanted). He went above and beyond our expectations! I was nervous because we didnt give him a list of specific songs to play, but just told him to keep the dance floor packed and he did an awesome job! I have never been to a wedding with a better DJ. I couldnt have asked for anything better and I highly recommend EBE and Tom.

We worked with EBE's Brian Lizzi to find the perfect band for our wedding and found eFusion Love, which is a combination of live music & DJ! The band leader, Dave, worked with us to make sure we had the best music for all the different parts of our reception. He incorporated certain traditions perfectly, played international music and was an overall great guy to work with and have lead the wedding. He had people in their seats at appropriate times and had them dancing the rest of the evening. If you want to have zero worries in regards to your wedding entertainment - go with EBE!
