Wedding band in Philadelphia:
a Motown revue for historic rooms
A wedding band in Philadelphia gets rooms most cities cannot offer: museum halls, old banks, mill floors. The Velvelettes bring a staged Motown and soul revue to them: three voices, live horns, choreography and an MC, from $3,400 to $12,500.
We have played an Old City ballroom, a converted cordage works in Fishtown and an estate out on the Main Line. Philadelphia is a drive date from Detroit, about 9 hours across the Turnpike, so the full production travels with us and we arrive the day before the show.
Philadelphia Saturdays from May through October book 12 to 18 months out. Historic rooms often mean stair or alley load-ins; we advance the access route with photos ahead of time so show day holds no surprises.

Before you ask
Philadelphia questions, answered
Is there a travel fee to Philadelphia?
Philadelphia is beyond our 150-mile no-fee radius, so travel is quoted per date. As a drive city the line stays reasonable, and the availability check returns the exact figure.
Do you know Philadelphia venues?
We advance every room with your venue contact and request the floor plan and power spec ahead of the date, with photos of the access route for historic buildings.
Do you play both weddings and corporate events in Philadelphia?
Yes. Philadelphia books us for wedding receptions and corporate events alike, with COI and W-9 handled by the booking office.
Everything else a host asks first lives on the FAQ page.
