Central Park the Band performed at my company's 300+ person annual holiday celebration in style! Andrew, the band lead, took the time and effort to meet with me before, during and 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!
This isn't just your "average" wedding band; Central park has something special.
You get 4 incredible vocalists that can do it all, and epic instrumentalists to match. From the Hora, 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!
I wish I could give them a million stars because 5 stars are not enough! From beginning to end Andrew and Central Park were absolutely amazing. They were there step by step to make 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!
I truly could not have picked a better band! I had people running up to me on the dancefloor all night asking who they were and how I found them! Andrew and his team were so kind and 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!
Central Park the Band is INCREDIBLE! Our guests were raving about them all night and they really kept everyone on the dance floor. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, 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!!
We couldn’t have been happier with Central Park the Band at our wedding! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Their energy was infectious, and they were so interactive 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!
Central Park was by far the best band my wife and I could have asked for to play at our wedding. We went to see multiple bands before our wedding and Central Park was the only band 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!
Incredible band from start to finish! I don’t think I would do this band justice if I only talk about how amazing their performance was during our wedding. From the very beginning, 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.
They made my wedding amazing! If I could give them 10 stars I would! They absolutely rocked my wedding! There was not a single person sitting at my wedding and you truly see their professionalism from the moment you get in contact with them.
This is the second year in a row that Central Park has played a private corporate party that I have been at, and they are truly the best!!! They play to the crowd and keep the dance 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!

Andrew and his whole crew were amazing to work with - from start to finish! We first experienced CPB’s insane talent at my brother’s wedding, and 2 years later we got to have them 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!
The main thing my husband and I focused on for our wedding was making sure we found a good band. Having our wedding be the most epic party of our lives was goal #1 and we could NOT 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!
We had a fantastic time with the Central Park Band! Our guests loved them and were on the dance floor the entire night. They were easy to work with from start to finish. They put on a great show and we highly recommend them!
Central Park the Band performed at one of our organization's private events this year for over 300 guests and had everyone singing and dancing along the whole time! They entertained 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!
I would choose Central Park over and over and over. They absolutely OVER delivered on our wedding day. The dance floor was packed the entire night and with 2 seamless, quick breaks, 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!!!!!
TLDR: We want an encore! Central Park the Band was recommended to us by several people. From what we had heard, they are the #1 band. What we learned was that those people were right! 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!
If we could give this band 10 stars, we absolutely would. These are your go to performers for any event. Since our wedding a month ago, we are looking for every excuse to hire them 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!
Andrew and the gang at Central Park are THE BEST of the best. Seriously, don’t waste your time looking for anyone else. My sister had hired them for her 2021 wedding and when we danced 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.
Central Park went above and beyond our wildest dreams! Everything we asked of them was executed perfectly. They even learned (quickly) songs we added last minute! All of our friends 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!
We hired Central Park the Band based on a recommendation from our wedding planner and are SO thrilled we did. The day after the wedding, all of our guests came up to us to compliment 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!
We cannot say enough amazing things about Central Park - wish we could offer more than 5 stars! They were an absolute dream to work with, from start to finish. Our night was absolutely 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!
Central Park the Band was just absolutely fabulous! We booked them given the high recommendation from my future sister-in-law and she did not steer us wrong! Everyone at our wedding 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!!
Simply put, CPTB made our wedding! The resounding comment from our guests was that they have never been to a wedding where so many people were up and dancing, and it was obviously 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!!!
Central Park was AMAZING and made our wedding night unforgettable! Andrew, the band leader, was more than flexible and responsive when making plans. The band members were incredible, 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!
This band was so amazing and made our lives easy and carefree. It was so refreshing not having to worry about one aspect of our wedding, because Andrew was all over this. He was so 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!
After both of my brothers had Central Park at their weddings, it was a no brainer. They were able to tailor each of our three weddings to exactly match our personalities. We are still 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!
We booked this band after seeing a live showcase at a nearby winery and loved the versatility and energy of everyone involved. Andrew was amazing to work with when it came to our detail 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.
Can’t say enough how much we loved this band. They made the party, no if’s and’s or buts.. thanks so much
This band is amazing! We hired this band by just viewing their video online. When we found out they were available for our wedding, we were so happy. The band and management are 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.
If you need a band for any event you can’t do wrong here! This band is like a family to each other and they treat you like your apart of their team! Oh yeah and their performance was 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.
Zach and I are finally starting to recover from our amazing wedding weekend and we just wanted to send our love and thanks to Central Park for making our wedding day the best day ever! 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!
Do not hesitate to book Central Park the Band! We had the honor of using them for our wedding last weekend and boy did they deliver. Not only did they keep the dance floor packed 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!
We seriously cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so much fun! We all want to go back to that night! You all were phenomenal. Everyone was on the dance floor all night and 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!!!
Central Park the Band gave life to our wedding beyond what we could have ever hoped for. From the minute the party started till the lights came on, they had the whole room dancing 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 :-)
Central Park did my wedding on 6/16/2018. I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about the band, especially Andrew the leader. I had the pleasure of attending a showcase for the band when I originally booked them, and I knew if they could make me want to dance in a little room, I would definitely be dancing all night at my wedding. They certainly proved me right! I did not leave the dance floor my entire wedding, and quite frankly, neither did most of my guests. I had so many people ask me who my band was the week after my wedding! The band was absolutely amazing from the phone call before the wedding to discuss songs, timing etc. to the very end of the wedding with the last song. From Andrew coming off the stage and singing and dancing with my guests, to the dance circle made during Sweet Caroline, the band could not have been any more perfect. They truly made my wedding an absolute blast and I cannot recommend them enough.
Every single person stayed on the dance floor until the very end, as well as complimented the band. They rocked it!! So much fun, and I highly recommend. The only set back was that they did not play the requested songs I listed. Other than that, they will without any doubt make your reception the absolute best.
My husband and I hired Central Park The Band for our wedding after going to one of their showcases. The most important thing we wanted for our wedding was for it to be a fun, wild, dancing party for our fun, crazy friends and family!! Central Park was the PERFECT choice for us, and turned our wedding into the most amazing and memorable night of our lives. The band members are truly talented, and read the crowd perfectly to sense the best music to play. Our guests were up dancing the ENTIRE NIGHT!!!!!!!
Harry, the band leader, made our experience with Central Park even more incredible. He was in touch with us a few weeks before the wedding to plan the night. We discussed song requests (which you also put in an online planning tool which is great), timing, and every detail necessary. Harry made sure to understand the overall feel and flow we wanted for our special day. The night of the wedding, they executed it PERFECTLY. People are still raving about our band, and we have already recommended it to many of our engaged friends!
If you want your guests up dancing and having an incredible time all night, we HIGHLY recommend Central Park the Band!!!!!!!
People are still talking about how great this band was! Harry, the band leader, was amazing to work with. I don't think there was a time that the dance floor wasn't FULL of people the entire night. They really were fantastic and exceeded any expectations I may have had. Thank you!
I heard this band for 15 mins in a showcase and booked them. Their price was right and they sounded good. The week leading up the the wedding, the band leader called and he was so nice and helpful. The wedding day was unreal. They had the dance floor packed from the moment we entered the reception. They were the best wedding band I have heard and I have seen about 10. They played every type of song and for the short break they took, while the DJ played, I didn't even realize they were on break. My brother owns a DJ business and he was extrememly impressed with the band. They were top notch and simply the best!
We had Central Park for our wedding band. They were great and had the dance floor packed the whole night. The band had a great website that we used before the wedding, which allowed us to pick out some songs before hand. The only negative was that it was a little too loud for the ballroom. However, everything else was perfect. Harry, the band leader, was helpful and nice. We enjoyed working with this vendor a lot and our guests LOVED them!
This band is the best! Everyone at the wedding had a great time because of the band's expertise, singing ability, sound quality, selection of music and general happy, party demeanor. You must book them for your wedding if you want everyone to have a great time and to dance!
Having a band was really important to us. This band is just amazing! They had the crowd dancing all night long.
