From BVT Founder, Kurt Titchenell:
What an Amazing Time!!

Looking back on the past couple of years, I am awestruck at the many successful events that we have planned and performed as well as the progress we have made as a business.   Many new relationships were made and many others solidified.  We are conveniently located office on Route One in Chadds Ford, where our staff is able to work efficiently and our clients can experience BVT as the premier entertainment company that it is, in our new cutting edge video showcase theater.

In the last year, we have welcome Philadephia icon, Big Ric Minter and his dance band, Big Ric Rising.  Our roster of other specialty entertainment has also grown, so we are positioned to fill just about any live entertainment need.

Recently, our Philadelphia bands have performed at many of the highest profile and prestigious events in the country.  From a performance at the 150th anniversary of the Academy Ball in Philadelphia to the Sid Miller Dance Band’s performance at the National Autism Society of America's Evening Of Champions event in Providence, Rhode Island, to Jellyroll performing at The White House for what may be considered the Country’s most high profile gala event, The 2007 Congressional Ball.  Jellyroll also appeared for a second time at the White House at the request of Laura Bush for her 44th high school reunion.  BVT’s City Rhythm even performed at the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies’ Spring Training events in Clearwater, FL and later did 2 one week tours in Italy.

Community service is a very important part of our business plan and BVT can be counted on to provide for a good cause.  For the third consecutive year, BVT provided three great dance bands, Back2Life, Strangers and Jellyroll as well as scores of other entertainers at the Philadelphia Flyers’ Wives Fight For Lives Carnival.  We look forward to our fourth year of partnership as we will once again be the entertainment sponsor at the 2011 Philadelphia Flyer's Wives Fight For Lives Carnival, which will be held at the Wells Fargo Center. In addition to this great cause, Back2Life donated their talent  at The City Of Hope’s annual fundraising gala held at Loew's Hotel Philadelphia.  Jellyroll's support of Today's Media charities continue to be evident with their involvement in the "Best of Delaware" and "Best of The Main Line" events.  In 2009, the Sid Miller Dance Band headlined the Philadelphia Auto Show on January 30th, benefitting Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.  We are also very proud to continue our partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand with Strangers' performance as a sponsor of the annual Lemon Ball (January 9, 2010 at the Philadelphia Marriott).  These are just a few examples of BVT's commitment to community service.

We continue to be acknowledged as a top dance band entertainment company both locally and nationally with Jellyroll’s “Best Of Delaware” and “Best Of The Main Line” awards.  Both Jellyroll and City Rhythm have also been selected as "Best Of Philly" in the past by Philadelphia Magazine.  More impressively, 3 of our bands, Jellyroll, Sid Miller Dance Band and City Rhythm were selected as best in the country in Modern Bride's Top 150 Bands and DJs issue.  Brandywine Valley Talent was also awarded “Best Pick” by The Knot in 2008 and 2011.

BVT continues to remain very active in Philadelphia's hospitality and event planning associations, primarily NACE (National Association of Catering Executives), ISES (International Association of Event Specialists), MPI (Meeting Professionals International) and the PCVB (Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau).  For example, while Jellyroll was performing at the White House, BVT's Contagious dance band entertained close to 300 event specialists at the annual Jingle Jam event at the Waterford Ballroom at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel.  During the same week City Rhythm appeared at the Pennsylvania Society gathering at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

We also look forward to continuing our partnership with the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau.  On November 26, 2008, at the PCVB annual luncheon event , City Rhythm  performed for over 1000 of Philadelphia's leading hospitality professionals at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where the 2008 world champion Phillies were honored.  In November of 2009, Jellyroll took the stage for the PCVB annual event where the new Philadelphia brand, "Life, Liberty and You" was rolled out.  Jellyroll was proud to present a "Philadelphia Sounds" show at this event, sharing the stage with Governor Rendell and Mayor Nutter.  Jellyroll was called upon again and delivered another stellar performance at this event in 2010 heralding the newly expanded Pennsylvania Convention Center.  This 2010 PCVB event also recognized Tom Muldoon, long time PCVB leader, for his accomplishments. 

The future has never looked better for BVT so please contact us if there is anything at all we can help you in any way.
