Paul and the band were FANTASTIC! My guests were all on the dance floor and they knew how to read the crowd to play the right songs. The whole process of what songs to choose for o...
ur ceremony and dances was seamless. They were my number #1 choice for a long time and they did not disappoint!
Grand Central Station was such a hit! The dance floor was packed and they were very easy to work with.
Grand Central Station made our wedding a PARTY. Our guests (of all ages!) stayed on the dance floor all night long! GCS was incredible at reading our crowd and responding to their ...
energy and preferences. After hearing how the groom was a longtime fan of T Swift in my best friend's MOH speech, the band made sure to include Love Story in the set and called him out. It was a really fun moment. They also did a fantastic job leading our unique wedding party entrance, and MCing the evening. From our initial contact to the night of the wedding, Paul and his bandmates were kind, professional, and all-around easy to work with. Our venue was thrilled to hear we would be working with them and had the highest praise for them. The night truly would not have been the same without them and we are so unbelievably grateful to have had booked with Grand Central Station.
Our reception would not have been complete if it wasn’t for our favorite band keeping the party alive all night long! We are so grateful for GCS accommodating all our special reque...
sts and couldn’t be more happy that we had GCS to provide the entertainment for the best day of our lives. Their professionalism, kindness and flexibility are top notch. If you’re getting married and looking for the best party band in the world, you need to have GCS there!
Grand Central Station ROCKED our wedding reception and we absolutely loved having them provide the entertainment for the evening. They are one of our favorite local bands and we w...
ere so happy to have them help us make our special day fantastic. Our reception was a little non-traditional because we had eloped the year before, so this was more of a family/friends celebration and one-year anniversary party. Paul and the GCS crew listened to all of our requests and delivered beyond our expectations. They worked with us through a special twist on our first dance song and it was exactly as we pictured it. We asked them to bring the party and they DID. Additionally, they included some amazing surprises throughout the evening, such as asking my dad (a guitarist) to join them for a song and also inviting a couple of our guests (also local musicians) to play with them for a few songs as well. Every song we asked them to play, they played. Every song we asked them to avoid, they avoided. Paul was extremely communicative right up until the event start, making sure he and the band fully understood what we wanted. And beyond the songs we requested, they seemed to know exactly what other songs to play that got people up on their feet. We cannot thank them enough and our guests are still telling us how much fun they had at our party. If you want a band that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night long, look no further than Grand Central Station!
A huge thank you to GCS for a spectacular evening 7/20/24! This top notch band rocked our daughter’s wedding!! Their professionalism and outstanding musical talent kept the crowd ...
entertained and on the dance floor the entire wedding! Communication was easy and they played to every age group. A dream to work with such wonderful people. It is evident each musician and both singers love what they do, and it shows! I highly recommend hiring Grand Central Station for a wedding or any other event! They will never disappoint!!

ntral Station. Paul was great to work with and accommodated quite a few last minute song changes from us. He promised to ROCK our wedding, and boy did the band deliver! I can't even tell you how many guests said that it was the best band they'd ever heard at a wedding. Grand Central was an irreplaceable part of our perfect night, and on top of everything else they were the most affordable band we looked at. Book them as soon as you can, you will be so glad you did!
My daughter wanted a reception where everyone would be on the dance floor. Paul promised to get the party started and he and GCS delivered the entire night! With such talented musi...
cians and lead vocalists, our guests from downstate thought we brought them in from NYC. Another guest texted his sister that she should fly the band to Chicago for her wedding reception! They can play virtually any song of any genre and were a hit with every guest. Paul worked to accommodate some last-minute changes and requests too! If you want a fun reception, that people remember long afterwards, then Grand Central Station is your band!

ion for various parts of the evening, and he was extremely flexible when we had numerous requests (even day-of!). He and his crew had everyone on the dance floor from the moment they started playing until the venue closed us down - my wife and I started going around to tables to say hello to people ,but before we knew it, nobody was left sitting at their tables because they were all on the dance floor! We had people coming up to us all the next day telling us how much they loved the band, and we couldn't agree more!
GCS Band was the highlight of our wedding! All of our guests were raving about their performance during and for months after our wedding. Paul was great to work with and always kep...

emorable! One of the first things we needed to decide on when we started planning our wedding was “band or DJ?” and decided to go with a band- this is likely the best decision we made thanks to Grand Central Station! It’s a great feeling to look at the dance floor on your wedding day and see EVERYONE on the dance floor having an awesome time. Each member of the band is incredibly talented and their ability to play such a wide variety of music second to none. Paul is very professional, honest and an overall pleasure to work with. Even our other vendors were very excited when they learned we had chosen them as our band. I would recommend them to anyone, but make sure to call them early on in the planning process since they are in high demand!
Five stars! Paul was wonderful to work with on the music for our wedding. The band kept people dancing all night. We are still getting compliments on how great Grand Central Statio...

t the dance floor PACKED all night-- these guys are experts at reading a crowd. My husband and I turned around to go and say our hellos to our guests at their tables and suddenly nobody was sitting because EVERYONE was on the dance floor. I have had so many people tell me that our band was the best ever. I'd give them more than five stars if that was an option.
Grand Central Station was great! They played a good variety of songs, took requests, and had all of our guests on the dance floor!
I planned my wedding from 5 hours away in NJ and understand the power of reviews! My one wish for my wedding was to have everyone on the dance floor...and with GCS, that is exactly...
what we got! With a wide age range of guests, they did an incredible job of keeping the party going with music everyone could enjoy. My guests could not stop talking about them. I'd highly recommend going to see them play if you get the chance. If you are at all on the fence before booking, it will help you understand how gifted they really are! I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
These guys are AMAZING. From the second they started playing, the dance floor was PACKED and it stayed that way all night long. They're sets were perfect, we loved everything th...

Simply put- this band knows how to rock the house! Paul is the nicest guy in the world. He talks to you like he has known you forever. He even let my groom jam with the band for th...
ree songs! The band played the songs we wanted for our entrances, first dance, father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. They did an amazing job reading the crowd and choosing songs for all ages. Everyone in the group is so talented. We loved having two lead singers, one male and one female, who could sing songs from every decade and genre. We even had a friend say “am I listening to Beyonce and Jay-Z at your wedding right now?” There were multiple times throughout the night that we had 100% of our guests dancing. They are affordable and simply fantastic. We highly recommend Grand Central Station!
Grand Central Station was by far one of the best parts of our wedding! The first time I heard them play, I knew that I had to have them at my wedding. They certainly know how to en...

of our reception! The dance floor was packed the entire night! We had aunts & uncles in their 60s dancing with the 20-somethings! GCS truly knows how to play music everyone can enjoy! From the older classics to the top hits -- they simply DO IT ALL! Worth every penny to have these guys play your wedding. Thank you Paul & the GCS band for everything. You truly made the night one to remember!
My husband and I were married on June 13, 2015 at my parents' home in Walden, NY. Having Grand Central Station as our band was one of the best decisions we could have ever made!! T...
hey were AMAZING, and our guests still cannot stop talking about how awesome the music was. They play a wide variety of genres that appeal to all age groups, and they bring a fantastic energy that keeps the dance floor packed all night. Paul, the manager, was wonderful leading up to our big day, and responded to emails promptly. They even coordinated with me to sing a song for my new husband! It was a perfect wedding and GCS played a huge role in making it extra special!
My husband wanted to go with a DJ for our reception. He said that a DJ would really keep the party going and play a wide variety of music we liked. I talked him into trying out a...
band, and he loved it! They kept our guests on the dance floor all night long and played requests from their huge repertoire. They were a great value, too. Not much more than a DJ, with all the equipment and a lot more people. They played at an appropriate volume and kept playing most of the night. Anytime they took a break (one during dinner and maybe 2 during the reception), they put on a digital playlist. They learned my husband's and my song for our first dance, and slowed down the song I danced to with my dad to a more manageable tempo. I did have some communication issues with them in the month or so leading up to the wedding, but everything was resolved and they did a great job!
Paul and Grand Central Station were amazing to work with. They played a great variety of music, were energetic, and kept the dance floor packed the whole night.
Grand Central Station is a great choice for a wedding band. They make it a point to keep the guests entertained and dancing all night. It's nice to have two young singers as the fr...
ont of the band, but everyone sings/plays so well. I did request that they play a few specific songs that they didn't play, but what they chose instead was still good. Would recommend!
Paul the manager was so helpful and replied almost immediately by phone or email with any questions I had. Many guests stayed until the very end to dance! Both voices and music w...
ere phenomenal, they literally could perform any song we requested! Highly recommended, worth the price over a DJ!!!
Amazing sound and choice of songs- they know exactly how to keep a party going and they are a fraction of the price of other local bands. They play at Clinton's Ditch a lot- check ...
them out!
I am so glad that we went with Grand Central Station for our wedding. I was very nervous about having a "bar band" that was unprofessional, but they are the opposite. They had the ...
dance floor full all night! They didn't play songs that were not appropriate for the environment. I received SO many compliments regarding the band and we couldn't be happier.
Our wedding was amazing and so much fun and GSB had a lot to do with it. Paul is great to work with as well!
