  We just had Center Stage play our wedding 2 weeks ago... they were AMAZING!!! We listened to a lot of bands online before finding Center Stage and they had a sound that just popped. Not only are they extremely talented musicians, but they are extremely professional and easy going. Frank, the band leader, was just outstanding to work with. Our venue was a little tricky because they had to move locations a couple of times during the course of the event, but they did so seamlessly. They played a good mix of classic Motown, rock and pop songs and had everyone dancing all night. Essentially they were a huge treat for everyone. They were able to accommodate songs we wanted for our first dance and processional song and played a mean Hava Nagila (great job!!). Some of our guests were also musicians and they were more then happy to let them play with them- such a special gesture. All in all we were extremely satisfied with Center Stage. We had a blast with them and they really rocked out!!!

  Highly recommended. Provided music for ceremony and reception at my daughter's wedding. Provided a long list of songs to choose from. Kept the dance floor full the whole time they were playing.

  Frank Bonanno and Center Stage are an absolute pleasure to work with, have a killer sound that will get people dancing, and are just FUN.
  
  Frank is a consummate professional; from my first contact with him he was straightforward, flexible, and always reliable. He is also incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. He made me a great deal when I booked with him for my wedding ceremony in addition to the reception, and he and his band learned several new songs for my event (every one that I asked about).
  
  The experienced and talented musicians of Center Stage also know how to get the party started. One of my great fears for our wedding (a common one, I know) is that the dance floor would be empty and awkward. We've all seen it happen. My fears were entirely unfounded, as the dance floor was busy the ENTIRE night. The music was a fun mix that appealed to a wide audience, and the band did a fantastic job of reading the crowd.
  
  My new husband and I could not be happier that we booked with Frank and Center Stage, and the next time I need a band, he will definitely be my first call.

  We have used this band twice in the past couple of years for major events: a wedding and then a college reunion party (with over 450 attendees). Simply put, there is no other band we will use. They provided a complete package both times: cocktail music, dinner background music and then the best dance music we have ever been privileged to dance to. They do all styles, and do it authentically with vocals that make you think you are listening to the original artists and a music-making ability second to none. Folks just rush to the dance floor and don't leave. Besides having enormous talent, they are also the nicest folks to deal with and beyond professional and courteous in how they treat people.

  Center Stage is simply AWESOME. They were very professional and they really knew how to work the crowd. It was the best New Year's Eve Party - everyone didn't stop dancing the ENTIRE night! I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for an amazing band for any event!

  Center Stage is absolutely terrific. You can’t go wrong if you hire them. I know Frank Bonanno personally and professionally. Center Stage is an awesome band with great, versatile musicians, and they come with the highest brand of integrity. My wife and I have attended weddings, dinner dance functions and private business functions at which Center Stage was the entertainment. I can’t remember them being anything but terrific. My business hired Center Stage for several special functions, not the least of which was an awesome Holiday Dinner Dance we sponsored for our 200 employees, board members and their spouses and guests; that was terrific, too. In short, you will be very happy with Center Stage. Having married two daughters, I know first hand how hectic your wedding day can be. With Center Stage, the music is one thing you won’t have to worry about. (Had trouble choosing date of event on website).

  Band was absolutely great. They had everyone up and dancing the whole night. Our guests could not stop talking about them. We would recommend them for any event.

  Frank Bonanno was the easiest vendor to work with. Not only was he a professional, but he made the whole process worry free the day of my wedding. He kept my guests dancing all night. I've never heard a band play so well together. We were very nervous going with a band vs. dj, but we made the best choice!

  From the ceremony, through dinner, and finally to the dance floor, Center Stage was nothing short of exemplary. They were able to take our initial thoughts and suggestions, help us build and expand upon them, and create the musical background to a day that we will never forget. Thank you all so much for your dedication and professionalism!

  We, and all of our guests, loved Center Stage. They were enormously helpful planning the music, and all the logistics, with us and made the entertainment elegant, fun and smooth for everyone. A big bouquet to this exceptional band. We recommend them highly and hope to have them again.

  I attended a performance of Center Stage at a birthday party and it was amazing. The sax player who is Frankl Bonanno kept me in constant attention. Nice pleasant music to listen to.

  For those of you making wedding plans, I recommend you go no further…entrusting Center Stage wedding band for your special day will be the best decision you ever made. Me and my family have enjoyed several functions where Center Stage as played. They're terrific, and they keep the crowd on the floor moving and grooving! Best of all, they can customize your song list, making your special day unique and setting it apart from the everyday wedding. We've dealt with Frank Bonanno who always exceeded our expectations both in planning and execution. He is wonderful to work with, extremely reliable and I think you'll be delighted with your decision if you chose to hire Center Stage.

  These guys are amazing. It's rare today to find musicians of this caliber. We got married in June, 2012 and people are still talking about how great Center Stage was. The music was so alive and soulful. This is something we couldn't have experienced with a DJ. Have no worries about hiring Center Stage. They know what they're doing and you won't ever forget it.

  My biggest fear going into our big day was that people wouldn't dance, and I clearly should not have spent any time worried about that! You are all fantastic and almost two years later our friends and family are still asking how on earth we found you because you all are one of the best wedding bands out there. One friend even came up to us half way through the night and said you had single-handedly sold him on the idea of having a wedding band! I can't recommend Center Stage enough - they were probably the highlight of our whole wedding!

  Center Stage worked with us for the entire event, providing piano, cello and flute for the ceremony, jazz piano for the cocktail hour, jazz band during the dinner hour (at a volume that allowed conversation without yelling into your neighbor's ear), and rocking six-piece full band with horns for dance music after dinner that got every generation (my 7 year old nephew to the bride's 83 year old grandmother) onto the dance floor for a rollicking party. They interacted wonderfully with the crowd and never left us without great music; they must've taken shifts for dinner because I do not recall even one absence. The instrumental and vocal ranges were equally impressive. I'm looking for an excuse to hire them again!

  I have enjoyed Center Stage in a number of venues and have had the greatest time at each! This band is second to none in talent and professionalism! Perhaps the most memorable time was a private party at my home. The band tailored the music to the crowd and occasion, had everyone up dancing, and added so much to the special day! I know I will use Center Stage again. You can't do better than this band for fabulous, live music.
