Bud Maltin Music (LIVE Band) + Metropolitan Music DJs

and the guitarist wowed our guests. Buds personality makes him very easy to work with and it was a pleasure. Do not hesitate to hire him! Highly recommend!

literally, and made our wedding the most gorgeous, seamless, spectacular experience we could have imagined. The musicians were excellent, professional, and could play literally every single song we asked for. They personalized the night and captured the intimate family nature of the backyard covid wedding. Honestly, I was skeptical about investing in a full band at first, but after seeing how truly wonderful Bud and his musicians were I could not be more thankful that we hired them for our special night. Our family is already demanding that we get them again for our one year anniversary (and every year after that!) I am just so thankful and truly moved by how sweet and dedicated this group was, and how much they did to make sure we had the best possible wedding night. You absolutely must go check this band out, I promise you will not regret it!!! Thank you Bud and Metropolitan music!!

our wedding. Bryan was an amazing entertainer and DJ! He was able to perform great versions of hit songs as well as handling the duties of a DJ. He played all of the songs we requested and acted as a great host for the evening. We were so happy with the wedding entertainment and highly recommend Bud Maltin Metropolitan Music!

our ceremony. I cannot day enough amazing things about Bud. He was extremely easy to work with and was very mindful of our budget. When we lowered our budget for our small ceremony, he was happy to work with us on what we could afford. We can’t wait for the band to play at our big reception next year!

of music and vibe you are trying to cultivate, and he delivered exceptionally! We had the absolute best time and Bud and his team were huge contributors to making our wedding such a fantastic party. We highly recommend Bud for your wedding!

less than perfect. Both unbelievably talented and professional, they were genuine and attentive. It was obvious to my wife and I that they cared about making what is arguably one of the most important events in our lives completely wonderful. Furthermore, communication was easy every step of the way. I would happily recommend their services to anyone and will definitely use them again!

als and ooze talent. Everyone at our party had a blast and I can't recommend them enough.

anding what you would and would not like to hear on the dance floor and not creating additional stress the weeks leading up to the wedding. When we booked them we had this one sax player that we really wanted at our wedding and a month before Bill told us he was no longer available. While we were disappointed we were even happier with the replacement Baron Raymonde who was out on the dance floor playing the sax while our guests were dancing and was amazing during cocktail hour. Bill even had a guitarist come in for a few hours to make sure we had everything we wanted for the wedding. The singer Dani was perfect she was out on the dance floor with our guests and sang every possible song. Her range and voice is amazing. Bill was our DJ and for our first dance he created a custom mix of two versions of our song that was exactly what we were looking for and his singing was great too!!! Booking Bud Maltin was definitely one of the best decisions we made and they are one of our top vendors. We will definitely hire them again for other events. I would definitely recommend doing a DJ + Live package and going to one of their live showcases. You can’t go wrong booking these guys!!!!!

nd get the crowd going and make you want to get up and dance. The voices.... all I can say is WOW. They are on another level. I have worked with Bud Maltin and Metropolitan Music for YEARS and they are the ONLY company I now go to when I need live music or a DJ. We recently just had them at our Wedding Celebration and they worked with us - played the music we asked, made suggestions, and made our night spectacular. They have options that many other bands do not offer- we even had someone taking pics at the wedding and putting them up in real time for guests to see. My best friend is also getting married and after seeing them at my wedding said I don't even have to look further as they are EXACTLY what we want. If that doesn't say something I don't know what else would. Trust me, you WANT Bud Maltin at your Wedding. :) .

. We really loved the option of having a great DJ AND live musicians/a live band as it truly provided the best of both worlds. If there were particular songs we wanted to hear with "original" or specific artists singing the songs, we had the DJ for that. This was true for both our first dance as well as the Father-Daughter dance. But, it was so much fun to have live musicians to add to the great energy of our wedding reception. We appreciate the personal attention, input and professionalism of Bud Maltin himself as well as business manager, Bill Galbo. They are both wonderful!

they were travelling to Naples Florida for a Saturday evening affair. They had everything under control and assured me we had nothing to worry about. Well the band was the hit of the evening. People are still talking about the event and the staff at the country club say it was the best band and party ever. Special thanks to Bud and the band for making this such an enjoyable party, stress free!! Ron Krawczyk

lented musicians especially in the NYC area but we felt that we were in the best and most capable hands working with the Bud Maltin Band. We had 11-12 musicians the day of our wedding which provided continuous music throughout the day. For the ceremony we had a Bud play flute and an electric guitar. It set the tone for the entire ceremony and delivered renditions of the songs that we requested which were recognizable as soft instrumentals but perfectly arranged as to blend into the backdrop. The band does a walk through of the venue before the day of the wedding to ensure that all of the logistics are accounted for. Bud and his manager Bill worked with the venue to organize a time without us (as we were very busy and weren't required to walk through with them). In doing so, they came up with recommendations on how to setup the band to optimize the acoustics in our rather large open space. In addition to this, having seen a grand piano on site while doing their walk through, they were able to utilize it doing our cocktail hour. The day of our wedding we had a bass guitar and piano entertaining our guests which was an incredible demonstration on Bud and Bill's experience to have had the foresight to visit the venue and make these kinds of suggestions. The final decisions were always left in our hands (Bride & Groom) and we never felt pushed. Given the bands collective experience, we took them up on every suggestion they made, each time adding more and more value. During the reception Bud and the band put on a spectacular performance. Although the band was completely capable of learning anything we requested, we chose to trust their expertise in curating the music that was played during our day. This may sound scary to some but let me tell you, no one knows how to entertain a room of 200 people like the Bud Maltin Band. They played top hits across 70s-2010s, They had three generations of people up dancing and not once was there an empty dance floor. All transitions into traditional wedding reception rituals like the 'first dance' and the 'father daughter dance' were all done in a way that made sense and didn't disrupt the flow. This is all another testament to this band's experience. The wedding is now behind us both and looking back at all of the decisions big and small we had made. One of best decision my wife and I made around planning our wedding was hiring The Bud Maltin band. Since our wedding everyone reflects on the wedding the same way: "THE BAND WAS INCREDIBLE!". Book a time to see them perform. They are kind, generous, and a pleasure to work with. My wife and both feel booking them for our wedding was an absolute home run for all of our guests! - Bill & Chelsea

o hire a band because we had really specific music in mind. My husband’s side of the family is Indian, and more on the young side, while my family is American and a bit older. We wanted music that would appeal to both but were convinced that a band who could do it all was going to be impossible to find. But then we found Bud Maltin. With their band/DJ hybrid combination, they were able to not only play all the songs that you wanted to meet both criteria but also songs that felt personally significant to my husband and I. They even learned some special Hindi songs we requested! They were incredibly professional, responsive, warm and easy to work with. Their sound is unbeatable. I’m already working with them on another event. I cannot recommend them enough!!

uide you through the process step by step. I highly recommend this company for your music needs.

what we got on our wedding day. Professionalism, talent, energy, and a natural harmony with the crowd and the entire experience. All aspects, discussed and implied, went off without a hitch. From the ceremony music, featuring a violinist and keyboardist duo pulling off our non-traditional processional music, to ending the night with our specific request (including the obviously necessary "I Want it That Way" by The Backstreet Boys :), it goes without saying that guests and staff alike shared nothing but positive feedback. Let's not forget a fun and relaxing cocktail hour featuring the smooth sounds of the acoustic guitar, followed by the 4-hour reception with our 7-piece band and that unforgettable whirlwind of a Hora to start off the party. Bottomline is that you will not be disappointed. Thank you to the band for providing the perfect soundtrack to our big day!

p dancing!!!!! My husband and I went to see several bands throughout our wedding planning process because having an amazing band was really important to us. Bud and Bill and the whole band were exceptional to work with. Our guests are still asking us to use them for their own weddings. We had a 10-piece band, and the money was truly worth every penny! They were incredible throughout every step of the process- responsive, timely, and professional. They made our wedding so special and I would hire them 100 times again! THANK YOU!

ing with Bud and Bill made the entire process so easy. They know so much about music, and they are incredibly professional. Bud was so patient and kind as we spoke on the phone multiple times to ensure that the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music was exactly what we wanted. We had a talented pianist play during the ceremony and cocktail hour. We ultimately had a nine piece band play at the reception. All of the music was phenomenal. In the two weeks since our wedding, I have had many many people tell me how impressed they were with the band. I am so happy that they were the ones to play at our wedding. I highly recommend Bud Maltin Metropolitan Music for any event with music, especially a wedding.

e teenagers were having a great time and complimented the band.

ut even during dinner we had music from the most amazing key board soloist. Bud himself was extremely professional & so willing to help us to pull off a surprise for the bride & groom. If your planning on live music no one compares with these talented musicians. Thanks for amazing & unforgettable evening.

and react to the tone and type of music my wife and I wanted, but they were also there to help guide us through what made sense given our guest list. They set up multiple calls to help us determine the best music for each piece of the night and let us have the flexibility we needed. And oh yeah, they also can freaking play like no other! We had a band + dj combo and it worked out perfect for us. A lot of people say on your wedding night you won't remember a lot of the music, but Bud's band was so great that we are still talking about them today! We cannot recommend them enough and we are letting all of our friends and family know they are a must-hire for any of their upcoming weddings.

pleasing for all. Bud did the job and with great success perfectly blending the genres to keep everyone entertained and dancing. Furthermore he contacted me before the event, asking for song suggestions, special requests and or dedications. He even worked with us to play a music guessing game, which all enjoyed. Bud is professional and quite personable. He made the party a huge success. Would definitely hire him again!

s Bud to you and to your wonderful musicians and singers !

ven engaged at that point, but as soon as we heard them play we turned to each other & said in unison “We’re booking them for our wedding.” Two years later we went to see them at one of their gigs in NYC just to refresh our memory and they were just as fabulous as we remember. Their energy, talent, and professionalism was just out of this world! Everyone we spoke to raved about the band, and our dance floor was always packed which is exactly what we wanted. Both Bill & Bud were absolute pleasures to work with. Our chat with Bud about our song list was the most fun I’ve had in this entire wedding planning process. His ideas/input were fantastic and I felt he and the band really got us. The music could not have been more perfect. So in conclusion, stop what you’re doing and book them now!

ommend them to absolutely anyone -- Bud and Bill were beyond incredible to work with!
