Highlight of the night!

My husband was in charge of securing a band for our wedding. I pretended to be very laid back about it, but deep down, I was STRESSED. After all, the music can really make or break a party. After phone calls with multiple companies, he decided to go with the Metropolitan Players…and I am so glad I trusted him with this! The whole team was very responsive and patiently walked us through everything leading up to our wedding day. They had a huge repertoire of music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long, and the personal songs they learned for us sounded AMAZING. We had an 8 piece band and were a little nervous about it being too loud, but our day-of coordinator (shout out to Drew) made sure the volume level was perfect for our sensitive ears! We received so many compliments, both during and after our wedding, about how great the band was. Everything was seamlessly organized on our day without us having to lift a finger - we felt like true guests of honor at our wedding. We can’t recommend the Met Players enough!

Best Wedding Band Ever

The Met Players created an UNBELIEVABLE atmosphere for our environment. If we could leave 10 stars, we would. From the start of the relationship to the end of our wedding, they were professional, available, flexible, and all-around amazing. They worked with us to carefully create a playlist and energy we wanted: They learned new songs and performed them perfectly. They played all the songs we requested. And they totally nailed the vibe that we were going for. Every time someone has talked about our wedding, they have mentioned the Met Players. They are the best wedding band out there.

Highly recommend!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having The Metropolitan Players perform at our wedding. They were such a dream to work with, and every single guest raved about how the Met Players were the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. Not a single person left the dance floor all night! We couldn’t recommend them more!

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!
