CTO Music Artists

We had CTO Grand Central at our wedding in September 2023. The planning process with Martin was simple and not stressful at all. They were flexible about learning a couple of new songs. Multiple guests commented during the reception about how great the band was - definitely a success!

CTO Grand Central is the absolute best wedding band and I could not recommend them more highly. We were referred to CTO by Cescaphe as we had our wedding at the Down Town Club this past October. We saw the band's promo video and fell in love. We went to see them demo a few songs after one of their normal weekly practices, and we could not sign the contract fast enough. They were everything we expected and more! Martin (band leader) was so easy to work with, and the band absolutely crushed it. Every single wedding guest was on the dance floor and most people never left. The wedding photos and video show everyone from our elderly family members to younger cousins, friends, parents, and everyone in-between absolutely crushing the dance floor. The mix of songs was perfect and they even learned a few new songs at our request. I could not more highly recommend CTO Grand Central. It will be the best choice you make and your wedding guests will compliment the quality of the band every time they see you.

One of the biggest compliments we received after our wedding was how fun it was! Of course, a lot of different things make a wedding fun, but one of the key factors is the band—and CTO Park Central was a BLAST! They had the dance floor hopping from the second the reception started, and our guests barely sat down all night. CTO Park Central sounded incredible, played an insane variety of music, and, incredibly, never took a break—there was literally someone playing all night! They were also very easy to work with and delivered on our special requests. For a truly fun, elevated entertainment experience, we could not recommend CTO Park Central more.

CTO Park Central was absolutely incredible at our wedding! They brought amazing energy to the dance floor and our guests had a great time dancing. They could play a wide variety of music that had the older guests dancing early and kept the party going till midnight. At the end of the night when they finished playing, our guests started chanting "encore" and "one more song!" until they played more! Gloria was great to communicate with throughout the process and Angie (part of CTO management) did a great job recommending them based on what we described as our vision for the music. Amazing vocalists, high energy brass section, and great song arrangements. Book them!

If you have the chance to book CTO Tribeca, do so immediately! I never heard them before our wedding and booked them based on the extremely strong recommendation of my wedding planner. They did an incredible job at our wedding and multiple people told me they were the best wedding band they’d ever heard. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the end of the evening. My husband isn’t a big dancer so I wasn’t expecting him to be out on the floor much and he was dancing the whole night. The band couldn’t have been easier to work with, were very open to feedback about our favorite songs from their super extensive playlist and were generally awesome. The strings during the ceremony were beautiful and were the only part of the wedding that made my now husband tear up!

We used CTO Park Central who were absolutely incredible! The dance floor was PACKED all night and guests continue to rave about how fantastic the band / music was. Gloria, the bandleader, was great with all communications and made sure all the music we requested was played throughout the night.

CTO Park Central and the band STOLE THE SHOW! What an amazing addition to our wedding night. We have had countless guests coming and absolutely raving about the band. They truly put in every effort to make our special night that much more enjoyable. We cannot express our gratitude enough. Some guests commented on their "front row seats to the concert" or asked "where did we find such talent?" and regarding "the incredible vocals at dinner (and beyond)" and ALL just raved about how great you all were. No one didn't mention the band :) The attention to every tiny and meaningful detail throughout the process from start to finish is 100% gold! They played extra long, non-stop, and kept the party going. Now we just need an excuse to book the band again! :) If you're planning an event, you need this band.

I do not even know where to begin with CTO Artists! Everything from beginning and working with Angie and inquiring about bands, to selecting CTO Grand Central, working with Martin on our timeline and then the band lead by Bright and Tracy absolutely crushing it was truly the best experience ever! Bright and Tracy read the room the entire night - the dance floor was packed from start to finish - even they said so! They are so accommodating, listen to all your crazy requests, ideas, and were truly so amazing to work with! I can't even begin to count how many people asked us who our band was after the wedding and commented how epic they were! To top it all off, we had DJ Chelsea Frost for the last hour and she was phenomenal to work with as well! From our first conversation, I felt like I had known her for years and she knew exactly the vibe we were going for for our "after party!". I have nothing but the highest reviews to say about CTO and specifically Angie, Grand Central and DJ Chelsea Frost. You cannot go wrong booking them and working with them - our wedding is a day/night I will never forget and that is in large part to this group right here! Do not even hesitate- they are the BEST! We Love you CTO - thank you for all you did to make our wedding the best ever!!! Love, The Curry's

We cannot even express how THRILLED we are with Midtown Express!! The entire process, start to finish, was absolutely perfect. I am crying while writing this because we want to relive the day over and over again! Naeemah was accommodating in every way as we had a few personal touches to add to the evening. They had an AMAZING performance and we have had sooooooo many people compliment the band's performance. As a side-note my mom's family was a popular wedding band for decades and we had many professional musicians at the wedding- they were SO impressed with the band and talked about it for days after! The dance floor was PACKED the whole night and we had 350 guests! Thank you to ALL of you! My husband, our families and our guests are just over the moon thrilled with CTO and Midtown Express and we cannot say thank you enough

CTO GRAND CENTRAL WAS INCREDIBLE! From start to finish they were a perfect band!! They had our friends and family on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG. I have never been to a wedding where the entire crowd was cheering “one more song” when the lights came on in the venue, but Grand Central made that happen! CTO was easy to book with, and the band leader Martin was so easy to talk to and helped work through some obstacles with our ceremony & cocktail hour sound. I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking to have a good time!!!!

We used CTO Park Central for our wedding this past weekend and they were AMAZING. Several of the guests came up to us and told us they were the best wedding band they had ever heard.

CTO Tribeca knocked it out of the park at our wedding! Due to the pandemic, we had to do our wedding band search fully remotely, relying on reviews, videos and word of mouth. We could tell from the videos that they were good - and picking a great band was one of our top wedding priorities - but they beyond blew our expectations. They have an amazing range of vocals, really bring the energy and are superb at reading the room. All of our guests continue to rave about how good the band was, like being at a concert they keep saying. We were also impressed with the band leader's, Devon's, professionalism and enthusiasm in the weeks leading up to our event. CTO Tribeca is a truly phenomenal wedding band.

We had the best experience with CTO Entertainment for our NYE wedding at Water Works. We spoke with Angie, who takes the time to listen to what your music preferences are, to then fit your style of music with one of their awesome bands! We made the best decision to choose Midtown Express as our band and DJ Freezie. We knew we needed a band and a DJ that could keep our guests dancing all night long, especially because it was NYE, and they did just that! We could not say enough good things about them! We got the opportunity to hear and meet the entire band and DJ Freezie at a Cescaphe University we attended. After determining Midtown Express was the best fit for us, we then had a meeting with Naeemah, one of the lead vocalists, who was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process! Our first dance song was played through DJ Freezie, and halfway through, the band was able to kick in and finish the song off as the fast version to get our guests on the dance floor with us. They were all so energetic, yet classy and professional, and looked like they were having just as much fun as we were. The entire night whether, Midtown Express or DJ Freezie was playing, the dance floor was packed! My guest cannot stop raving about our entertainment!

CTO Grand Central was absolutely amazing, from the planning to the wedding day performance. My husband and I could not be happier, and our guests are STILL raving about how good the entertainment was! We even challenged the band with some odd song requests. We asked if the band could learn a few specific songs, and they not only learned the songs very quickly, they played them with perfection! One specific request was to play an acoustic version of "No One Like You" by the Scorpions during the dinner portion of the reception...a completely odd request but Bright (lead singer) NAILED the song; it sounded amazing and I wish he would put a cover on YouTube. This is the exact reason why we chose CTO Grand Central - they are super talented and can tackle any genre, from Dua Lipa to the Scorpions - a little something for all your guests. Aside from the band's performance, they were truly incredible to work with and their energy had our wedding guests on the dance floor the entire night. Don't think twice about hiring them. Do it. You will NOT regret the decision, and its 100% worth it.

CTO's 5th Avenue band was absolutely amazing... not just their singing and playing but the smiles and joy and energy they added to the mix. Also, they were super sweet in helping me pull off a surpsise song that I wrote for my husband. They tuned my guitar for me in secret and everything! The band leader, Ramona, was lovely to work with during preparations for our day and the agency side was also great. I didn't feel pressured to book, like I did when talking to a couple other of the options out there. It's a lot of money for sure, but having a live band is infinitely better than having a DJ. I promise you won't regret having them as part of your day!

We truly had such a wonderful experience at our 08/21/2021 reception with Midtown Express. They were everything and more!!! Everyone could not stop talking about how exceptional the band was. We thoroughly enjoyed the booking process, experiencing the band showcase, and getting an intimate opportunity to see what we could expect. Special shoutout to Naeemah, who was flawless throughout planning and during the actual event, she checked in with us several times and helped us navigate the evening. Everyone was so kind, professional, and fantastic We want to thank CTO and Midtown Express for being so empathetic and understanding during Covid-19, allowing us to reschedule to our preferred date, and making the process seamless. You are truly a unique vendor, for this. We will continue to recommend CTO for MANY years to come.

We booked Grand Central for our wedding and had an amazing time. Martin had multiple phone calls with us before the wedding to work on the timeline, learn our venue, and understand our music preferences. On the night of there was beautiful acoustic guitar during dinner and then the dane floor lit up with the full band. They kept the night incredibly fun! They were playful and interactive with the crowd, while keeping us (the bride and groom) the stars of the night.

We had CTO Tribeca for our wedding and they were by far one of the best choices we made in our planning! They had the entire wedding up and dancing for the whole reception. They are incredibly talented and brought amazing energy to the reception. Thank you Maylyn for being so easy to work with and thank you to the entire band who absolutely killed it!

After covid forced us to reschedule, my husband and I moved our wedding to a Thursday, and I was nervous people wouldn’t be ready for a party on a weeknight. Boy, CTO midtown Express sure brought the party. At least four guests came up to me during the wedding and asked who the band was and told me how fabulous they were. There were times the instrumentalists we’re out on the dance floor, the vocalists were great, and they even helped us end our wedding with a New Orleans style second line parade. And their band leader Virgil was so helpful and accommodating along the way. Truly top notch group of people. Use them and you won’t be disappointed!

CTO Grand Central blew us and our guests away. We had a 150 person wedding earlier this month. I'm very judgmental when it comes to wedding music---I can't stand anything cheesy or playlists that only resonate with 16-21 year olds minus a few cliché ballads thrown in that cause half the room to stay at their tables. I can't put into words how satisfied I am with CTO Grand Central. The bandleader Martin was incredible to work with. They truly did offer a customized experience - we talked at length about song selection, vibe, and the itinerary down to the minute. Their pianist Brian knocked it out the park during the ceremony by arranging Beatles, Lana Del Rey, and Guns N Roses songs per our request. The rendition of Burning Love they arranged for the reception intros was INCREDIBLE. The acoustic dinner music was beautiful and completely differentiated ours from most weddings. And most importantly, they got the party going fast and never let up. The dance floor was packed the whole night and the set list appealed to EVERYONE. Even folks that aren't dance floor people still gathered and sang along. No one stayed at their tables...it was perfect. I can't recommend CTO Grand Central enough. They made our day so much more memorable.

All I can say is WOW!! We knew CTO Tribeca would be an incredible band from the moment we listened to them at the showcase. Our wedding guests continuously commented to us throughout the evening how amazing they are, and it was evident by how many of us stayed on the dance floor for the duration of the evening! My sister worked with CTO Manhattan over 15 years ago, and when it came time for us to select our wedding band, we knew we’d be in great hands with the CTO family. We’re so thrilled with Tribeca’s performance, and Tribeca's band leader Maylyn was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you CTO Tribeca for helping us create such wonderful memories and keeping our guests on their feet!

We could not be happier with CTO 5th Avenue, who were spectacular. Bandleaders Ramona and Bryan were fantastic and responsive in all of their pre-wedding communications with us, as was Angie, our contact with CTO. The performance from 5th Avenue was, without exaggeration, a magical experience we will never forget. 5th Avenue was the primary reason we were able to do exactly what we wanted on our wedding day: throw our guests an amazing party. 5th Avenue provided music for our ceremony (keys and guitar), cocktail hour (keys and sax), and reception (a seven piece band). The band played their hearts out and played songs from a truly impressive array of genres. They had people dancing even before dinner was served and kept the dance floor packed for three straight hours. No one wanted to sit down or take a break because each song was as good or better than the last! Everyone we have spoken to since the wedding has told us that 5th Avenue was the best wedding band they have ever seen, or they did not know wedding bands could be that good, or asked for the band’s contact information for their own weddings. This band was an incredible value and we recommend them without reservation.

Virgil and the rest of Midtown Express are incredibly talented musicians who know how to keep the energy of the party going. They read our wedding crowd really well and kept the dance floor packed all night. Even though The Barnes Foundation where we held our wedding forbids subwoofers and requires the volume to be a bit lower to protect the artwork, we honestly could not tell because the band sounded so great. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about our phenomenal band - one person even asked if Midtown Express recorded a CD that she could buy! The band also did a great job at learning two new songs for us. There is absolutely nothing that we would change about our experience with Midtown Express because their talent, professionalism and responsiveness was incredible from start to finish.

CTO GRAND CENTRAL WAS INCREDIBLE! My husband and I were so pleased with Martin and everyone else in the band at our wedding. When we went into this planning process, all we wanted was good music and for the dance floor to be packed the whole time. IT WAS! We were so sad it was over, but would recommend this group to anyone. They were so kind and made our night one we will never forget. We still have guests talking about how great they were!

CTO Tribeca was amazing, we cannot stop raving about them to anyone who will listen! They were so easy to work with leading up to our wedding and were quick to respond to any questions and adjustments we asked for. The band kept our guests dancing all night, everyone loved them and we continue to hear very positive feedback. CTO is very professional and has great bands, definitely go to one of their showcases to check out their talented musicians.

Midtown Express was amazing! They had the guests up and dancing almost immediately!

CTO Grand Central had the dance floor filled from start to finished. They were great to work with and have guest still talking about how talented the band was!

CTO Fifth Avenue performed at our wedding, and they were phenomenal! They did an amazing job getting our guests onto the dance floor. We received so many compliments, and it's been exciting to look over photos and see all over again how much everyone had!! Planning with CTO Fifth Avenue was easy and fun. We are very grateful they accommodated several special requests that our made wedding so special. Ramona (the band leader) was responsible for getting our 17 person wedding party in line and ready to go for introductions - she did an awesome job!! We can't thank them enough!

We had CTO Tribeca at our wedding, and they are absolutely incredible! They put on a non-stop show for the entire wedding, and never ever take breaks. We had a wedding with 300 guests and all of them were dancing all night long. The dance floor was packed from start to the last second, and that is because of Tribeca. There was barely any room left on the floor, and that is exactly what we wanted. They are the best wedding band in Philly! All of our guests have been calling and texting us how amazing they were. Maylyn, the band leader, is so wonderful and great to work with. She helped us to plan everything perfectly. The entire process with CTO was very organized and easy - which is exactly what a bride needs. I can't thank CTO enough for the party they threw at our wedding! I can only hope I'll be a guest at a Tribeca wedding one day!! THANK YOU!

On behalf of Andrew and I we would like to say THANK YOU for making our wedding great! Gloria and the band members did a fantastic job of keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. Our goal was to optimize dance time and we did! Their ability to read the audience while taking into consideration our requests was amazing. It is a very talented group! Melvin did a fantastic job in his performance - he had the room going crazy, it felt like we were at a live show down in Austin, Texas. Fabulous work! Did I forget to mention the bands exquisite ability to learn songs ? Was the real Leon Bridges there?! A big thank you again! If someone ever needs a band we know who to recommend - CTO Park Central!

We had CTO Grand Central for our June 2018 wedding and they were incredible! My husband was super picky about the band we chose and they totally delivered. People are still commenting on how awesome our band was!

Park Central Band is THE BEST band for any celebration. I've attended several weddings over the past couple of years with great bands, but Park Central is by FAR Philly's number one pick. We got so many compliments about them at our wedding. They kept us dancing all night, played Motown, Funk, rap, current, you name it. They were energetic and involved our guests in the fun, even changed outfits for us. I simply can't say enough about how special they made the evening for us. You'd be so fortunate to have them at your event!

Once you have a wedding date, immediately RUN to see if CTO Park Central in available. Without question, CTO Park Central, led by Gloria Allende, is the best band for your event. Their energy and enthusiasm, let alone their vocal prowess and amazing musicianship, is unparalled. They literally do not ever stop performing! We first met CTO Park Central in 2014 when we luckily booked them for our older daughter’s wedding. We knew we didn’t have to consider anyone else for our second wedding just completed on 10/6/18. Due to our recommendation, two other families enjoyed their excellence at their daughter’s weddings in 2016 and 2017 as well! We cannot imagine having better entertainment for a very fair value than what we have received twice from CTO Park Central! If they are available on your date, book them immediately! Jay and Susan I.

We loved Martin at CTO Grand Central! They were high energy and really brought our party to life. Prior to the event, we had two calls with Martin to review the set list and special requests (bridal party entrance, first dance, cake-cutting, etc). The band learned two new Taylor Swift songs for us at our request. A big thanks to CTO for creating such an incredible evening.

THE BEST! CTO Grand Central played at our wedding and they were awesome. They nailed every song and kept everyone dancing all night. People kept commenting how great they were for months after the wedding.

Cto Grand Central brought the life and dance party to our wedding! They were so energetic, fun and played a wonderful variety of music for all ages! They really listened to our do and do not play list and really listened to our input! We spoke with Martin a few times before the wedding to finalize our plans. He was super easy to work with, friendly and fun! The whole band sounded amazing and all of our friends and family were raving about our band! They did a beautiful rendition of “everything I do, I do it for you” that we will never forget! Great people and amazing band! Highly recommend!

We had CTO Tribeca play at our wedding on 7/8/17 and they were amazing!! Everyone at our wedding raved about the band and most importantly, they kept us dancing all night! Thanks again!!

We had CTO Grand Central play at our wedding and it was the best decision we made in our wedding planning! My husband and I both agree that they were our favorite vendor. Everyone had a great time dancing and were raving about them after the wedding. They were able to play the very different types of music my husband and I like and did a great job with he songs we had them learn for us. They even made sure to grab us before they started playing one of my favorite songs. We met Mike (one of the singers) at a wedding expo and were immediately sold! He told us their band could play everything from my favorite Gershwin/musical songs to my husband's alternative 90s songs. And they definitely delivered! The band leader, Martin was also a pleasure to work with. He was very flexible with our non-traditional timeline and accommodated all of our requests. We requested they learn one of our favorite band's songs (which they did a great job with) and during the wedding they even started playing a second from them that wasn't even on their playlist! I HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding! We are hoping one of friends will use them just so we can see them play again! =)

CTO Grand Central played at our wedding on 11/12/16 and were completely amazing. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and people couldn't stop talking about how great CTO Grand Central was the next morning at brunch. We danced our entire night away which was the exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend CTO Grand Central to anyone and will certainly tell all of my engaged friends to hit a CTO Showcase.

CTO Grand Central is AMAZING! My guests are still raving about how great they were (months later). They had plenty of songs to choose from and were very thorough with their run of show for my whore reception. CTO Grand Central provided great entertainment and made our reception easy and enjoyable.

Words cannot describe how amazing CTO Tribeca is. We had the pleasure of working with Maylyn who helped guide us through the process of song selection and run of show. We wanted our wedding to be a big dance party and CTO Tribeca translated our vision into a reality. CTO Tribeca had everyone on the dance floor the entire night, and one of the things people remember most from your wedding is the music. A highlight for us was when Maylyn came onto the dance floor to perform during one of the songs – it really allowed the guests to connect with the band and created a wonderful memory! My family had the pleasure of working with CTO Tribeca previously for my sister’s wedding so we knew just how great the are! Maylyn made us feel so special and made our wedding memorable not only for us but also for our guests. We highly recommend CTO Tribeca.

We first saw CTO Grand Central at our friend's wedding a year and a half ago, and we knew we had to have them at our wedding on October 8. They were awesome! All of our guests commented on how fabulous the band was. Martin helped us plan for the big day, and he even coordinated with our venue to make sure that they were on the same page with the timeline for the evening. They made sure to keep the party going the whole time and made sure to play all of the songs that were important to us. They also did a wonderful job on our first dance and parent dances. It is always a plus when you get a band who can play those songs so perfectly! They have a great list of song choices and can switch from rock to country to hip hop without skipping a beat. We had a little bit of a mixup with the management company when it came to our final payment, but the band itself was absolutely flawless in every aspect! I would recommend them to anyone who wants their wedding to be the greatest party of their lives!

We absolutely loved our band Grand Central! Everyone rocked out at our wedding at The Reeds at Shelter Haven. The band was amazing and sounded just like every artist they sang. The slow songs were beautiful and the rock songs were spot on! Make sure you leave plenty of time to dance with Grand Central because you will be disappointed if you don't. Martin helped us organize the schedule of events and tried to keep us on track throughout the night. Our guests raved about them and we can only hope that someday we will be able to attend a wedding where they're playing! Highly reccommend Grand Central from CTO Artists!

We had CTO Tribeca for our wedding on 9/9/16 and they were amazing. From the ceremony through the reception, Maylyn helped us plan the perfect day and was flexible in accommodating all of our requests. We are still getting compliments 2 weeks later. They are well worth every penny!

Great live music was one of our top priorities for our wedding, and CTO Fifth Avenue completely delivered. Ramona was a pleasure to work with before the event—she was easygoing, efficient and understood exactly what we were looking for, and listened attentively to all of my questions and concerns. On the day of the wedding, we were blown away by the band and so were all of our guests. They developed a playlist based on the genres we were interested in and how much we wanted to play of each, and the mix was perfect. By the end of the night, they had everyone dancing and knew how to keep the party going—our guests are still raving about their performance. This is an extremely talented and professional group, and every member was so sweet to work with. Highly, highly recommended!

CTO's Grand Central played our wedding this summer. They surpassed our greatest expectations! While we thought they would be good based on their online videos, they were even better live. Their front man, Martin, was awesome to work with. He got in touch with us well ahead of time, and coordinated with our wedding planner. He was extremely flexible in accommodating all our wedding day requests. The band learned two new songs for us, as well as revamped another song for our first dance. Once they started playing, they ROCKED and ROLLED. Nobody wanted to leave the dance floor; it was packed all night. It was one good song after another with NO BREAKS for three hours. They interacted with the crowd, came down off the stage, and really made the party. They had great judgment on which songs to play, based on our ratings of their playlist, keeping people of all ages (4-80+) on the dance floor. If you want an awesome dance party, don't hesitate with Grand Central.

CTO Tribeca was INCREDIBLE! Our guests were up and dancing the entire night. It has been one week since our wedding and we are still receiving compliments! Marylyn was so helpful with planning every minute of their performance. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception, everything was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend CTO Tribeca for your next event. Our wedding was absolutely amazing.

CTO Tribeca. OH MY GOSH! We are so fortunate to have you guys for our wedding in May 2016. Jared and I initially wanted to DJ since we like a variety of songs, until we went to a CTO showcase and saw CTO Tribeca performed. The band can do absolutely anything and everything! Every single one of them was so talented and so much fun. Our wedding was at Ballroom at the Ben. The saxophone and keyboard played during the cocktail hour, and the whole band played during the reception. They made it like a live concert, and the 29x29 dance floor was full of people dancing the entire time! Maylyn was so accommodating – I decided to sing a song for my husband the day off, and the band let me do it without any notice in advance. So many people have come to us asking for the band’s name. Thanks again CTO Tribeca!

We used CTO Grand Central and they were amazing. They really brought the house down. Our guests were dancing all night. They made our wedding so fun. I picked them without having heard them or knowing anyone who had, so don't let that stop you from choosing them if you can't attend a showcase.

"Best wedding band ever!" That was the quote from everyone at our wedding! Midtown Express is amazing. Not only do they have an incredible sound but they also have an amazing chemistry and are truly the nicest people to work with. I highly recommend Midtown Express!

Finding a band that would wow our wedding guests was a top priority for my husband and I. We went to MANY different band showcases and when we watched CTO Tribeca perform not even a few minutes into their performance my husband whispered to me, "Should we book them now?" They are that good! Each individual band member is extremely talented and that is not easy to find! At our wedding reception they had the dance floor packed the entire night. We have had many of our wedding guests comment on how amazing our band was and how they have never seen a dance floor so packed! We danced all night and had the best time! Thank you Maylyn and CTO Tribeca!

We recently had CTO MIDTOWN EXPRESS play our wedding and we couldn't possibly be more pleased! They we fun, spunky, and classy, which was very important to me as I have declined to hire other bands based off of how the females in the band dress. From the first stages of planning, the band leader, Virgil was extemely accommodating. He met with me, and spoke with me often about how I wanted the evening to go, which songs I would and would not like to hear, and other details that I myself had forgotten. The band was extremely personable both on and off the stage. They interacted not only with each other, but with the audience, as they came out and danced with all of us multiple times. They even let my husband sing his favorite song which was the sweetest surprise of all! They were polite, fun, talented, and extremely entertaining! They played to the crowd and were able to cover songs that made everyone happy across multiple genres and decades! They kept everyone on their feet and people are still asking me for their card! They will be our band at any event we have in the future as we truly enjoyed our experience working with them! We highly recommend them!

CTO Tribeca was our band for our wedding on 10/25/14 and there are not enough words to really describe how amazing they were. Still, months later, we are getting constant compliments from people about how much fun they had and how impressive the band was. There is no better way to start than by saying that CTO Tribeca is by far the best in the business. Not even a discussion to be had when it comes to bands. We knew immediately at the showcase that this was the band for us. The energy that they brought was unmatched and the talent level is off the charts. Finding the right band was a top priority for us and we hit the lottery here. The memories that the band helped to create will last a lifetime. The vibe from the beginning was awesome, and Maylyn is the best of the best. Not only from a talent perspective, but also that she was so willing to make it unique and special to us. I was able to get up and sing a couple of songs with the band at our wedding, which was an absolute dream come true for me and was such a special touch to our wedding. They made that happen, and it meant so much to me that I could surprise my bride with that. They learned songs quickly and were willing to be flexible in any way possible to make sure that the day was exactly what we wanted. They were willing to go the extra mile for us, work with us to evaluate different options, help us think through the best songs for the night, the list goes on and on. This band MADE THE NIGHT and far exceeded our expectations. It was the best night of our lives and CTO Tribeca was a huge part of that. Couldn't have dreamed of anything better and are so thankful we were able to work with them. There are not enough words to describe just how impressed we were with them. Maylyn and the rest of the band are the best in the business and we are both extremely happy that we went with them. Trust us, it is worth every dollar and their energy level in itself priceless. We continue to be a huge promoter of this band and hope to have a chance to work with them in the future. We strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best band out there. A special thank you to Maylyn for everything! We couldn't be happier with everything and will never forget our experience with CTO Tribeca.

We could not have asked for a better, more professional band. Maylyn was fantastic to work with. The talent was amazing - so much so that there was not a moment that the dance floor wasn't FULL. We wish we had extended their playing time - however, I don't think we would have been ready to stop even then. Thank you to CTO (Angie) and Tribeca and especially Maylyn ... you were fantastic

I must admit: I initially balked at the price of the bands under the CTO umbrella. However, my fiance convinced me an amazing wedding band was worth it and we booked Park Central for our May 2014 wedding. While there were some communication issues (hence the 4-stars for service - though these issues were more with the agency than with the band itself), this band was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. Their rendition of our first dance song (Coldplay's "Fix You") was better than the real thing, and the most-heard comment of the night was that the band was absolutely amazing. Literally everyone -- from my relatively reserved dad to my 93-year-old great aunt -- was on the dance floor the entire night. If you live in the Philly area and are willing and able to spend the $ on any of the CTO bands, don't even bother going to any other showcases. Save yourself the stress and scrambling and just book Park Central.
