Insanely good mixing and volume at this venue. Genuinely the best I've ever heard for such a space…read more Heard an acoustic set from Kevin Hufnagel opening for Matteo Mancuso, and the former's mix was superb. Then, the latter's-- who's was much less acoustic-- was mixed extremely well, even with a full drum kit backing them up.

I'm happy to say the initial vibes we got from Cleveland held true through to end. Beyond that, he exceeded our expectations with: - Ease of communications. He provided us with a questionnaire to help plan the night, and then we did a final call to talk through everything before the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he showed up in a badass velvet suit and executed everything perfectly according to the plan without any input required from us. - His level of organization and maturity. He's clearly done a lot of weddings, and he had a calming presence through the day that helped us stay relaxed. There are SO many things to potentially be concerned about on the day of your wedding, and it was huge to be able to know "at least we know Cleveland's got the DJ / emcee situation on lock-down" - The quality of his equipment. The audio for both the ceremony and reception was perfect - vows and speeches came through crystal clear, and the party music got everybody moving! We had a few challenging music requests (some could only be pulled from Youtube videos), but they came through sounding great on his equipment. The uplighting he brought also looked fantastic. Highly recommend working with Blue Root Entertainment!

It's $35 and assuming you take the time to soak it all in, it will take about an hour. Be patient and watch all the moving pieces and read the placards. When you get to the big room, take a seat or lay down and enjoy the beauty unfolding. And color your own art at the end. This is such an incredible way to experience Van Gogh's art and I highly recommend it.

Checked out "Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience" from seeing all the promos around the net. It was…read morea unique technological experience. In the late afternoon on Saturday, decided to purchase the basic ticket online for $49.90 and took myself on a solo date to The Tower Theater. The staff had some technical difficulties finding my ticket in their system when I arrived, but eventually they found it. Before you go into the experience, you can grab a drink, which I did. I went for the "The Van Gogh". It was a very light cocktail, and I wasn't expecting much from it. It was interesting to read some of Van Gogh's life and to see his paintings in a moving visual or in a 3D dimensional type of way. Afterwards, you can color one of his paintings with medium sized crayons and/or do the virtual reality (which I did not purchase). I think the price for the weekend was way too expensive for what was offered. The entire experience was decent. Also, was able to find nearby street parking and downloaded the needed app for meter parking.

If you are looking for an amazing wedding band that guests will not stop talking about The Goody…read moreBlue Shoes are that band! We got married in Cape May 5 hours from where we live. An amazing live band was the most important thing we wanted at our wedding. We are fortunate to live in an area that in the summer has endless bars with live music. It is our favorite thing to do but we are also very picky. We had full intentions of hiring one of the local bands we love and having them make the trip. After one meeting with John of The Goody Blue Shoes that all changed. His energy, expertise, and good vibes are infectious. You can tell that this is more than just a job to him and he goes above and beyond to build a relationship with his clients. Even though he had other events going on we always felt like we were his only couple and he always made time for us. John goes over every detail and was almost like having a second wedding planner. His main goal is to make your wedding day perfect in any way that he can. No is not in John's vocabulary if you want something he will make it happen. We could not have been happier with the whole planning process and John made it as stress-free as possible. The band is incredible, our guests cannot stop talking about the band and how amazing they sounded. We had one guest tell us they wished they had heard them before booking their band. They said they are 300 times better than the band they hired and would have flown The Goody Blue Shoes to Maryland! Another guest told us it took him a minute to realize that it was the female vocalist who was singing during our ceremony not a recording. These are just a few of the many amazing things our guests had to say about The Goody Blue Shoes. They will learn all your first dance songs and even learned a few of our favorite songs that we love to see live. They will not just learn the songs you request but crush them and make them as special as the original versions! John is also an amazing MC, all night he keeps the party rolling and makes sure everything happens as intended. Hiring the Goody Blue Shoes was the best decision we made and we can say confidently that our wedding would not have been the same without them. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and we felt they went above and beyond what we paid them for. John, I cannot thank you and the Band enough for making our wedding night perfect. Right from the beginning we told you we wanted our wedding to be a huge party where everyone was dancing, and you exceeded all expectations. We will miss our planning calls, texts, and Zoom calls but we will definitely be partying with you guys again soon!

They graciously hosted & MC'd our event & handled little details like games, special song requests and prepared a special solo for my cousin to sing with them- which sounded so GREAT!

I love the recent updates made to the Mann Center. I visited in July to see Death Cab for Cutie…read more Off the bat, the venue has a more "luxurious" feel walking around concessions and other areas. The bathrooms were pretty clean and they had plenty of stalls, so no need to wait in a long line. We had seats on the balcony, and the staff was kind enough to escort us to our seats. The view was solid and the sound quality was great. The balcony seats felt relatively comfortable. Like most venues, drinks and food can be a bit pricy. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my strawberry vodka lemonade. The nachos were a little weird -- carrot does not belong on nachos. The chicken on the nachos was still juicy though. I wouldn't mind coming back for another show here.

Everyone raves about the Mann being one of the best, if not the best venue for concerts in…read morePhiladelphia, but I'm not actually sure that I'm convinced. This review is off Lawn Seating specifically, so I cannot speak to the upgraded, designated assigned seating scenario, but having to rent a chair and not having the ability to bring your own, in addition to the mad dash for "the best seat up front," really isn't the personal vibe I'm going for when I'm seeing live music, but I guess that's just me being old. Drinks were expensive as can be assumed at any concert, and for the Hilary Duff concert specifically, they only had a certain number of the coveted microphone drink toppers, which I don't exactly think is fair (even though me myself was able to get one). I just don't understand creating a craze over a souvenir cup and then only having like 100 or so actually for sale..... it just does not make sense to me in 2026 when everything is mass produced and a regular Joe-Schmo can 3-D print anything plastic in his basement. I didn't eat here because I didn't want to take out a small mortgage to do so. And if my review wasn't already bleak enough, the public transit situation is absolutely asinine. I waited over an hour for a bus, all of which passed me because they were full and ended up sharing an uber with some girls I overheard were going to my neighborhood. I'm sorry, but if you know that you're having a huge concert, please make sure that there are extra SEPTA buses (or designated shuttles), waiting to ferry people out of this super far, basically remote part of the city. Overall not impressed and probably won't be back based on my lackluster experience.

From the very start, they were communicative, helpful and SO MUCH FUN to work with. They guided me through everything, asking questions and covering bases I would have never thought of.

But you're probably wondering - are they actually any good? YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! They are amazingly talented and ridiculously fun. They read the room perfectly and knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. My guests absolutely loved them and are still talking about them.
