A+ BAND and Jon is the best ever!

We had our wedding on the 11th of October at The University Club. It was a 50 people wedding but the most important piece was the band for me as I really wanted to keep our friends and family dancing.

I have talked to multiple bands but the moment I talked to Jon I knew I should go with him and Red Hot Rhythm!

My vocabulary is not enough to explain how great Jon is! He is super attentive, he assures you that he got everything under control and he really has everything under control at all times. I had multiple last minute requests and he got ALL OF THEM done without any complaints. He said “he would run the show” and trust me he did. We danced the night away! Multiple guests were also curious who the band was.

Jon was the best leader to work with and he almost felt like a friend since the beginning.

Look nowhere else if you want a great band for your wedding if you don’t want to he disappointed.

Thanks tons again Jon and Red Hot Rhythm

Jon Simpson is The Best!

We hired Jon for our daughter’s 10/25 wedding. He thoughtfully spoke with the bridal couple and played the music they requested. In fact, he personally had to rewrite one of the cover songs so that it fit with the appropriate tempo for the “walk down the aisle”! Everyone was up and dancing from the moment the reception started to the moment we headed into the after party. We had a last minute “glitch” for the after party when we learned that location did not have a sound system. Jon came through with the necessary equipment and the party went on. Music definitely “makes” these events and in our case, Jon Simpson and his group of musicians certainly made our daughter’s wedding an event no one will forget!

Exceeded our Expectations!!

From our first interaction with Jon we were so happy working with them and were excited for the music at our wedding. But Manhattan Rhythm Machine exceeded our expectations! They were incredible and our guests were dancing all night long. The ceremony music and jazz trio at cocktail hour were also magical and just perfect. I highly recommend working with this group!

Thanks for an Awesome Wedding!

Jon from Jerry Kravat was a joy to work with. Friendly and down to earth, he got us excited about our wedding by thoroughly showcasing the work of their bands, as well as explaining their approach to playing our venue, which was a bit unique and complicated. They provided full audio visual for the ceremony, and even perfectly timed a surprise set as part of my sisters’ toast. They were upbeat and played an awesome party, with Jon making friends with guests, and the singers even allowing some of our guests to grab the mic and sing as we had some singers in our group. Thank you Jon and Jerry Kravat Entertainment for making it a fabulous and fun event!!!

The BEST Wedding Band

WOW! Jon made us comfortable from day one, the band was one thing I never had to worry about. He was professional, organized and a talented band leader. He worked with our budget and was dedicated to make our day special. The entire wedding my guests kept coming up to us asking how we found such a talented band? They did an incredible job and our guests could not stop dancing. We are so fortunate to have worked with Jon and his team and will definitely recommend him and use him again! Thank you for MAKING our wedding.

Simply the BEST!!!

We cannot thank Jon Simpson and the band enough for the wonderful entertainment they provided for our wedding reception! Our guests still rave about our wedding band and the wonderful time they had dancing the night away, celebrating!! We hired Red Hot Rhythm for our reception and each member was talented, professional and FUN! Their energy and upbeat personalities kept everyone on their toes. The band knew when to slow things down and speed them back up. They read the audience so well and catered to all age groups. There was not a moment during the reception that the room was not filled with music. This band set the mood and tone of our wedding reception which will forever remain our favorite night of our lives. Thank you, thank you to Jon and his team! We are still dancing to the memories you created for us!!

Blown away!

BLOWN AWAY!!! We had the privilege of having Manhattan Rhythm Machine provide the musical entertainment for our wedding reception. Words cannot describe how amazing and truly talented this group was. Our guests varied in age, and the music brought everyone out on the dance floor! The selection of music was Top 40, and the 10-piece band delivered on each song without ever being ‘too loud.’ Songs flowed seamlessly from one to another without awkward breaks between sets which kept people on the dance floor for the entire event. Our guests still have not stopped raving about how talented the band was! Band leader and MC Jon Simpson was a pleasure to work with and a true professional on all levels. He was very helpful in giving us insight to our reception timeline and helped make the night flow smoothly. THANK YOU Jon Simpson and Manhattan Rhythm Machine…it was an absolutely incredible reception!

From the moment they began playing until the last song of the evening, Tribeca Rhythm had our wedding guests dancing non-stop. With a great, versatile song list, top-tier musicians and outstanding vocals, it was a blast. They read the crowd and built in our song requests along with all those that kept the party going. Jon and Brad are responsive and easy to work with, offering expert recommendations and were always focused on delivering a memorable experience. Our guests continue to tell us how much fun they had and we highly recommend Tribeca Rhythm to anyone seeking a top-tier, professional band to create an amazing time!

Charming Charleston Weddings by Rev Will Charming Charleston Weddings by Rev Will Wedding Officiants

I was very pleased to see Jerry Kravat Entertainment at the wedding I officiated this past Sunday night at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. The ensemble was very professional and absolutely perfect for the event. They handled all the cues with great ease and produced a sound that was enjoyable throughout the pre-wedding cocktail hour, the wedding and on into the evening. As a very active wedding minister in and around NYC, I work with a lot of musicians. These folks are so warm and talented, that the job they did made my job that much easier. Thank you for the great performance! I look forward to working with you again soon.
