Central Park the Band

ll around great people to work with, I couldn’t recommend Central Park more than I am today. We knew we’d be in touch for our own wedding after seeing the band perform at our friends’ a year prior. From the day we reached out through the night of our celebration, everything felt perfect. Andrew has the rare gift of making you feel like you’ve known him for years. He also makes sure your vision for wedding music is realized - and I know how difficult that can be. We had too many ‘must plays’ and ‘no freaking way’ songs that were executed perfectly. The band worked seamlessly with our coordinator and venue, too, taking a big weight off our shoulders. And the most important part, of course: this crew can perform just about any genre and tear it up. I still get messages from friends and family raving about the music at our wedding almost 3 months later. They have multiple singers as part of a 10-piece operation — their versatility alone should have them on your shortlist of options. Thank you, Central Park for making our best day greater than we hoped it would be. Can’t wait to see y’all perform for the next lucky couple.   

tive holiday favorites with dance-floor hits that kept everyone moving all night long. The band was always interacting with the crowd which made the whole night a nonstop celebration. If you're looking for a band for your event that delivers a next-level experience while still being polished, fun, and professional, Central Park is it. Absolute perfection!!

and even more amazed on our wedding day. They kept the night flowing and had everybody dancing the entire night. All of the band members were kind and engaged; you could tell they were just as excited to be there.  This band was one of our absolute favorite wedding vendors and we still have guests talking about the band. I would choose them over and over again!

ey exceeded our expectations. They were great to work with, answering all our questions leading up to the wedding and discussing plans to make the night run smoothly. And as great as they were to work with they are even better the day of. The keyboardist during our ceremony and cocktail hour were exceptional and Andrew’s MCing was top notch. During our reception, these guys kept the dance floor rocking all night. They fed off the energy of the crowd and kept it going all night so there was never a dull moment. They even came out into the dance floor to interact with everyone! We had people coming up to us all night telling us how good the band was and asking how we found them. Can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for a wedding band!

trumpet, and saxophone), every single member of the band was outstanding. Their talent is undeniable, but what really set them apart was how perfectly they read the crowd—every song choice kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night long. Beyond the music, they made us feel so special on our wedding day. They created an atmosphere that was fun, personal, and unforgettable, and our guests are still raving about them. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your wedding to the next level, Central Park is it. Absolutely flawless from start to finish!

re still talking about how great the band was. 5 stars isn't enough, highly recommend!

a wedding - and we totally agree. They helped make the night unforgettable, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding or any event.

tell how much they care about serving you! Andrew went above and beyond with his consultations for me and my husband, and they executed wonderfully. 10/10 for us!

en on our wedding day the band just knocked it out of the park. So many of our guests texted us afterward and noted how great 'the band' was. Hearing the opening chords for our first dance song as the band was practicing during cocktail hour is a moment that neither Sean nor I will ever forget, not least because it gave us an opportunity to practice our first dance alone for a quick minute without anyone else around... and also because you all made it possible for us to have a live version of our song at our wedding, and how incredibly cool is that? And then there was your amazing transition from "Favorite Everything" to "Pretty Woman" to get the party started, and then hearing the song for the first time that my dad picked out (we all agreed that Central Park performed it better than the original)... just an amazing, incredible performance all around. If we ever have the opportunity to host another event with a live band, you will for sure be our first call. We can't thank you enough!

at the time of the event to understand and capture my company's vision, theme and music. On the day of the event, Andrew worked with me and the event manager to make sure we were on target with our timeline of events. The band kept the dance floor alive throughout the entire party by staying engaged and playing the hits. Andrew was always ready to pivot and make changes if needed! My company's holiday celebration was a success due to Central Park the Band bringing our theme to life! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Andrew and his team and I would recommend utilizing their services for both large and small scale events. I can't wait for our next event together!

a, to the parent dances and beyond, these guys DELIVERED! Andrew, the band leader, was super responsive to all my questions and had great energy throughout the entire process. He knows how to get the party going and make the bride and groom feel special. The only time the dance floor wasn’t packed was when people were eating! Even my elderly family members got up to dance the night away. They are willing to learn songs that aren't already in their repertoire, which really meant a lot to us, since there were a few tunes that we requested that brought our personality to the big day. You can stop your live band search now, because this band is all you need!

sure our wedding day was special and unforgettable! Andrew was incredibly nice, helpful, professional, and everything in between. He took the time to get to know us and make sure everything we wanted on our wedding day was covered. Andrew and the band make you feel like you are a part of the family and not just a customer. Do yourself a favor and save time by booking these guys right away, I promise you will not regret it! They blew our expectations out of the water. Our guests are still talking about Central Park! I wish I could have a party every weekend just to hire them!

nd easy to work with throughout the entire booking and planning process. They made the night run so smoothly and I don't think a single person was off the dancefloor from beginning to end - did people even eat cake? Also, the band offered to learn our special dance songs to play live, including our first dance and dances with our parents - it really added such a special touch. I would highly highly recommend to anyone getting married or having an event!

on, the music was perfect! Andrew was so friendly and amazing to work with leading up to our wedding day and ensured our first dance song was played just how we wanted it. The band is so talented and so professional, they played a huge role in us having an absolute blast at our reception. Book them now -- you won't regret it!!

tive with the crowd, really reading the room and keeping the dance floor packed the entire night. Their song selection was amazing, with a wide range of hits from different genres and decades that appealed to all our guests. Whether it was classics, current hits, or fun surprises, they nailed every performance. Our guests are still raving about them!! If you want a band that will not only keep your guests entertained but make your wedding unforgettable, we highly recommend them!

that came up to us personally to make an effort to get to know us and get an idea of what we were expecting on our wedding day. We met with Andrew a few weeks before our wedding to go over introductions for our bridal party, songs we wanted played, and different versions of songs we were hoping they could play for us. They played Take my Breath Away for our first dance and an upbeat version of Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid as our entrance song and they delivered perfectly on both of those. Everything on our wedding day was exactly what we asked for and was so much better than we expected (and we were expecting nothing short of amazing to begin with after hearing them)! We had countless people tell us after our wedding how awesome the band was and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top tier live entertainment!

working with Andrew was nothing short of delightful. He’s friendly, approachable, and wants nothing more than to help make your event the best it can be. His experience shows with his suggestions and guidance all while never being pushy and letting you create your own experience in the most effortless way possible. Then we get to the performance the day of our wedding. Wow!! These guys know how to get the party started and how to keep it going! The song choices created a perfect setlist that kept the dance floor full from start to finish. Several people remarked that they’ve never danced that much at a wedding before. And everyone we talked to after the wedding made a point to let us know how incredible the band was without us even asking. When it comes to how the band plays, you’re going to have a hard time finding a tighter band than these guys. Everything was on point from the drums to the vocal harmonies and everything between. If we could give these guys 10 out of 5 stars, we would! We can’t recommend Central Park the Band enough.

professionalism from the moment you get in contact with them.

t you get in contact with them.

e floor going at all times! The have such great energy and are so friendly and professional. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful they sound and how they are the best band they’ve ever heard and I couldn’t agree more! Book them now for your event! You will be so glad that you did!

at our own!! They made the entire planning process so easy and fun for us. They really will keep you and your guests on the dance floor all night. We couldn’t be more thankful to have had them for our special night!

be happier that we went with Central Park the Band. They were the absolute BEST and I could not say enough positive things about them. We had such an easy and pleasant experience from the get-go with Central Park. They went above and beyond to find a date and time for us to see a showcase, and once we did that, we immediately knew that they were the band for us. As the bride, I was a little particular with some things that I wanted, and Andrew, the band leader, was so accommodating and made me feel so at ease as we planned. I trusted them completely to set the vibe for the night, and they did not disappoint! Throughout the entire night of our wedding, they kept the party going and people on the dance floor. Since the wedding, we have received compliments from so many of our guests who said the band was one of the best wedding bands they have ever heard – and we completely agree! I am unbelievably grateful that we had Central Park the Band as the soundtrack to the best night of our lives. They made it completely unforgettable, and I could not thank them enough. I would highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a talented, fun, and professional band to create the perfect sound for their event!

on a great show and we highly recommend them!

d the crowd from start to finish and we're so excited that they will be back again for another one of our events in 2024! They are not only a very talented group of musicians, but they are complete professionals and will make any event a great time! I highly recommend Central Park for any event or wedding as they will not disappoint! Rave reviews from me, my husband and all of our friends who were in attendance!

, people were shocked that our band “never took a break”! 😉 10000/10 recommend & I can’t wait to use them again for my next band needs!!!!!

ht! We worked with Frank initially during the booking process. As someone with a famous name, Karly Simon, Frank communicated creatively by incorporating Carly Simon's song titles into his messages. COVID restrictions slightly impacted our wedding planning process, but we were able to see Central Park in action before making our decision. DO IT. GO SEE THEM IN PERSON! TOTALLY WORTH IT! Their sound and energy are top-notch the whole time. You can’t help but find yourself singing and dancing to EVERY song! During the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, we worked with Andrew on the logistics. He was so helpful with recommendations and accommodations based on what we hoped for in our event. On our wedding day, they really kept our party movin’ and groovin’. It’s been two months since our wedding, and our guests are still gushing about how great the band was that night. We even heard that someone who attended our wedding booked Central Park for their wedding! Hiring Central Park the Band is the way to go; you won’t be disappointed. We are so grateful for Central Park the Band and can’t wait to hear/see them again soon!

back, and recommend them 100% to anyone. CPTB was referred to us from a friend who had been to 3 CPTB weddings already, all in the same family. That was enough for us to sign on right there. We reached out and Frank was so responsive and very helpful with arranging a time to see the band play at a showcase or public event. We saw CPTB play at a public event outside at a bandstand, and they had the whole crowd up and dancing by the middle of the show. Sealed the deal. Andrew was so professional and great to work with the month leading up to the wedding to coordinate song lists, timeline, requests, etc. and put so much effort into making sure this was going to be the best night ever, and it was. He has lots of great ideas and they have so much experience to make the night as special as it can be. It felt like this band was playing with the energy that this was the most important show of their lives. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Aunts and uncles who claimed they “don’t dance” were out there busting quite many a move. You might want to think about upgrading to a larger dance floor when you hire them. When our friends and family talk about the wedding, the first thing anyone mentions in their compliment is the band. Usually followed by a whole list of adjectives describing how incredible they were. We wholeheartedly agree! Our only regret is that we did not get on our hands and knees and beg them to play for another hour or more. We will definitely be CPTB groupies now and excited to see them play at more events!

nced the night away then, we knew that we just had to have them when our 2023 wedding came too. And honestly, I think they got even better! My biggest fear for my wedding was that people wouldn’t dance and let me tell you, EVERYONE was dancing, from start to finish, the entire night. I didn’t provide “must have songs” or “do not play lists”, I just trusted Andrew and his team and they delivered. The timing on how they did everything was unique and truly set the tone for the night. Out of all the things to get complimented on about your wedding from your guests, “the band was amazing!” was the #1 thing our guests gave us feedback on. Not to mention that they were just super accommodating to our needs too. At our rehearsal the night before a question was brought up about av/audio for our officiant at our outdoor ceremony - unbeknownst to me our venue apparently didn’t provide it and one quick text to Andrew that night and he had a microphone and all of the ceremony audio covered for us the next day, no questions asked. They played our cocktail hour too and everyone enjoyed themselves. I cannot recommend Central Park the band enough.

s and family raved and continue to rave about them. They are worth every single penny. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without their energy and expertise! Cannot thank them all enough!

nt the band and tell us how awesome they were. Even the venue staff told us they were amazing! This group of musicians is extremely talented and I would hire them over and over again. They knew exactly the vibe we were going for and kept the party going all night long. The band 100% made our wedding infinitely more fun and we couldn’t thank them enough. I’m even trying to get my sister-in-law to hire them for her own wedding (when the time comes), they were THAT good. If you want to make your wedding the ultimate fun experience for you and your guests, hire Central Park immediately!

tely unforgettable and guests are still talking about how incredible the band was! Central Park kept everyone dancing and the energy high the entire night. We truly cannot thank them enough for everything and recommend them for any event!

g was on the dance floor all night. The band kept such high energy though out the night, getting the party started and keeping it going. They were also super helpful and responsive leading up to the wedding. I would highly recommend and can’t wait for my brother’s wedding where Central Park the Band will be performing!!

because of Central Park! They utilized an awesome set list, incorporating our 'must play' songs, but also played songs they knew would keep people up and on the dance floor. They truly made the night unforgettable and were way better than any other wedding band I have seen. Aside from absolutely delivering on the day of, they were extremely easy to work with prior to and the day of the wedding. We had absolutely zero heartburn about anything involving them, which was super appreciated with everything going on. From the bottom of our hearts we are telling you that you need to book this band for your event ASAP!!!

e, we had a blast!! Weeks later our guest continue to tell us how great the band was! We are so happy to have chosen Central Park the Band and hope to have the opportunity to use them for future events. Cheers!

flexible when it came to wanting to change songs and even offered input on songs that weren’t on the list. I would book them 100 out of 100 times. They are a must if you want to blow your guests away with a live show!

till getting comments of our guests exclaiming how "our band" was the best they ever heard. From the initial call to go over the timeline, to the actual execution of the event, everything was beyond first class. We can't say enough about how they ran the night! Absolute best band around!

etail meeting to go over song selections and had great recommendations for the layout of the day from entrance into reception through the timeline of dances and speeches. The singers also came down from the stage onto the dance floor and engaged with the guests. We’ve had comments ranging from “I was so impressed I forgot to dance half the time because I was sitting there in awe of the musical talent And then I’d realize I was dancing in my chair and go dance lol” to people asking for contact info for potential future weddings in their families. The variety of songs they can play is astonishing. If you can fit a live band into your budget, you won’t regret choosing them. I already have their future live show calendar printed and saved to keep the dancing going.

the NICEST people that we worked with during our wedding planning. They worked with us on our wedding reception program and music choices. Most importantly, they had all of our guests dancing all night long. The band is all our guests keep talking about. We were so happy with our choice.

as more than perfect of course. It’s been a week since the wedding and every call I get lately has been starting with how good the band was!!! Sometimes they forget to say hello to me first! Haha They are very reliable and know how to put on a show! I can’t thank them enough for all they did to make my wedding perfect.

ver! Our guests haven't stopped raving about "the band" being one of the best they've heard and we truly had the best time dancing and singing on the dance floor. After attending their showcase at their studio, we almost immediately made up our minds to have them play our wedding. Before the big day, Andrew took the time to talk with us and see what songs we wanted played, those we didn’t and even learned our first dance song 10 days prior to the wedding. The dance floor was full the entire night and we had ourselves a party! Do yourselves a favor and go to a showcase and hear them for yourself!

the entire night, but they are complete professionals in everything that they do. Our wedding would not have been complete without them! It's been almost a week since we said I DO and our guests are still commenting on how awesome they were. BOOK THEM TODAY, you will not be disappointed!

d you kept a great energy going throughout the evening. From the ceremony all the way to the end of the reception; it is a wonderful memory that John, our families, and our guests still talk about and reminisce. We can't wait to receive the video and pictures. Again, thank you so much and we are SO looking forward to hopefully seeing you soon! 5 stars and more!!!

and singing, and just all around having a ball! Even before the wedding, the band took time to get to know us, our style and the type of sets we wanted. Man, did they deliver! Guests can’t stop taking about how amazing they were and we can’t stop gushing over how perfect our wedding was, no doubt amplified by the phenomenal talent from this band. Thank you to all the band members for a truly spectacular night :-)
