CTO Music Artists

CTO Midtown Express was phenomenal!! Their promo video is great, but it doesn't even do justice to how awesome and energetic this band is live. So many people told us that it was the best wedding band they've ever seen, and we agree. Our coordinator even remarked that she's never seen such a packed dance floor :) We absolutely recommend them!

Carmen and his accompaniment could not have done a more perfect job for our wedding. We hosted our wedding at a piano lounge and the band brought the venue to life with such classy music. They played a perfect blend of new and old and we’re so adaptive to whatever was going on during the night - whether it was enhancing games at the wedding, playing requests from guests, and just generally going above and beyond in every aspect, we are so impressed by how good of a job they did. Furthermore, lots of couples may know all the songs they want, but we didn’t and we asked Carmen to use his discretion, and I can say he absolutely nailed it! We didn’t have to stress over making a playlist, and he chose music that fit our wedding perfectly! Almost every guest complimented us on the music and we couldn’t be happier with the band. Highly, highly recommend, they elevated our wedding and brought everything together.

We used CTO Philly Soul Collective for our wedding and received countless rave reviews from our guests. Everyone loved their energy as well as the variety they were able to bring to the night. They kept every guest dancing and engaged enough with the crowd to gather everyone for a memorable night. Jeff, the band leader, was easy to reach, gave us great advice as we selected our songs, and worked with us back and forth when we had several song changes. He made the evening so fun and light and carefree - which was a dream!

We hired Park Central for our wedding and WOW! We knew we wanted a band for the wedding a went to a few showcases in the area and they were our obvious choice. Gloria is fabulous to work with and was easy to communicate with. They played wonderful dinner music and then got the party started! We had guests dancing all night and we got SO many complements on them. Truly, look no further!!!

CTO Music Artists are a fabulous group to work with. From booking, to planning, to performing - everything was flawless! Great and quick communication, professional, flexible, helpful - from everyone- the office staff, band leader and members. CTO Park Central is absolutely incredible and so talented. We couldn’t have asked for a better band. Wouldn’t change a thing. Everyone kept complimenting them and said how much they loved them! No one left the dance floor!

The Plumes were wonderful. Before our wedding they were great to work with and very accomodating to our requests and some last-minute changes. At our wedding they brought a ton of energy and the playlist was perfect. They learned our first dance song and our father of the bride/bride dance song per our request and played them both beautifully. If you are looking for a band with a lot of range and variety, The Plumes is a perfect choice!

CTO was great. We've used them the last two years for our holiday party. DJ Chelsea rocks!

Hiring CTO Pop Shop was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. We were absolutely blown away by Eric and his band, who put on an incredible show that was expertly executed, true to our rock and roll vision, and resulted in an amazing party! We were particularly impressed by the band’s musicianship—they are clearly masters of their craft and not at all your stereotypical wedding band. Our guests repeatedly commented to us on how great they were during the cocktail hour, and that was before the real party even started! They know how to work a crowd and played a great mix of our favorites and general crowd pleasers that had us on the dance floor all night. They also personalized the night perfectly, learning songs for us and even adding a few surprise touches that made things extra special.

Beyond their showmanship and musicality, Eric and the band did a great job running the night and keeping things moving smoothly. We were advised by several friends in the wedding and hospitality industry that CTO was a fantastic company to work with, and from start to finish they surpassed all of our expectations. We can’t recommend CTO, and Pop Shop in particular, strongly enough.

Best band at a wedding ever.! They learned three new songs for our event and they were all done well. Great individual instrumentalists and vocalist. Easy to work with, and made excellent suggestions to make our reception fantastic.!

Every aspect of dealing with CTO was excellent.
Angie was so helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. It was obvious that Gloria was very experienced. She was helpful and patient.
The band was absolutely THE BEST , which we heard from many many experienced wedding guests. Park Central was the central part of making my daughter and son in law’s fabulous wedding the MOST fabulous. Thank you for knowing exactly how to manage and “ do it right”.
