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!
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!
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!!
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.
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!
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!
We recently had the absolute pleasure of booking Central Park the Band for our wedding, and we cannot emphasize enough how much their performance elevated our special day.

We can't say enough amazing things about Andrew, he helped us with our whole timeline and overall smoothness of the day! Truly amazing vendor and we feel like we are leaving with a friend.
Thank you, Central Park the Band, for being an integral part of our most cherished day!!!
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!
I have been to a ton of weddings with bands, and 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 venue 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 at 8pm that night and he had a microphone and all of the ceremony audio covered for us the next day for the wedding, no questions asked. They played our cocktail hour too and everyone enjoyed themselves. I cannot recommend Central Park the Band enough!
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!
My sister found Central Park 10 years ago for her wedding and we have used them for so many family weddings, parties, and events in between because they are simply the best!! We just used them for our wedding in Philadelphia and couldn't be happier. They are always so friendly and easy to work with from the moment you book them all the way through to the events end. And obviously the most important they are an amazing band with so much energy during your events!!! Every single event we have ever used them for people have come up to us and told us they were the best band ever! Can't recommend them enough and I think our 10 year history with them goes to show how incredible they are! Christine H
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!!! - Frank R.
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. - Magdalena S
Central Park did an EXTRAORDINARY job you did at our wedding. They set the exact mood we were looking for and they sounded terrific. During cocktail hour, the keyboardist and saxophonist were exceptional as well. They provided the perfect background music. When my wife and I entered the ballroom for the first time, we were simply blown away by their sound. They managed to find the perfect balance of loudness to allow conversation away from the dance floor and yet the room was enveloped with sound. To our wonder and surprise, everyone was not only dancing when we first entered, but continued dancing throughout the night. (this is no small feat with my family!) The band allowed appropriate breaks for the food courses and speeches and then were able to get everyone back on to the dance floor. The singers interacted with the crowd to get people even more into the party and knew all of the songs to play that would enable the entire crowd, 5 year olds to 90 year olds, to dance. "Best band EVER" was what we heard over and over -- and we agree! Our guests commented that they have never had so much fun at a wedding.
We had looked at some other bands by EBE. They seemed to spread their talent out among a few bands and fill in with some less strong members. Central Park concentrates their talent into 1 fantastic band and were significantly cheaper than EBE! - Corey
Incredible! 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! Zoë D.
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! - Joanna H
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!
Best band for our wedding!!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 throughout 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!! - Meredith L.
