One of the best vendors

The Metropolitan Players were honestly one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding!! They were so incredibly professional and personable from day one. They even sent us a handwritten note after we booked them. Elizabeth, our coordinator, was with us every step of the way to help us make sure we had the best night of our lives. They were accommodating, flexible, and SO TALENTED!! My husband and I had so many people come up to us throughout the night to tell us how AWESOME our band was! Despite having a snowstorm on our wedding day, they were willing to work with us to make our day incredible. The Met Players had everyone up and dancing, and we are SO thankful we chose them for our special day!

Incredibly talented and fun band!

We are so happy we hired the Met Players! From the moment we first emailed them, we could sense their excitement for us and passion for what they do. They were incredibly communicative over email and very organized in terms of planning for our wedding day. We had a lot of specific requests and they accommodated every single one flawlessly (for example, we asked for some piano instrumental versions of Lord of the Rings songs to play before the ceremony and gave very specific timing instructions for songs to walk down the aisle to).

The band completely understood the vibe we were going for which was a fun and lively dance floor, and the dance floor was truly packed all night. They helped us have an amazing hora, kept timelines on track by announcing speeches and parent dances, and ended their set with a great performance of Don't Stop Believin.

I highly recommend the Met Players for a band that's truly excited, fun, and talented! We hadn't seen them live before we booked, but based on reviews and word of mouth we felt comfortable booking anyway and from the first email we got from our event coordinator I knew we made the right choice. We loved them, and so did our guests because we got many, many compliments!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Outstanding!!! Having worked with countless bands as an event planner, Metropolitan Players stands far above the rest. Erin was beyond helpful in every step of the way. She was responsive to every question and odd request my clients asked. She was creative in helping my clients chose off the beaten path selections and the band went above and beyond to learn very specific songs. Erin detailed the whole night with a timeline and were flexible when changes were even made during the night. The band arrived on time, set up and were ready ahead of schedule. The whole band was the definition of professionalism and you can tell how much everyone loves what they do. Numerous wedding guests specifically hunted me down to tell me how amazing the band was! Their ability to read the crowd and get everyone out of there seats is unmatched. Definitely my go to band from now on!
