10/10 Amazing

Central Park Orchestra was incredible! They have so much energy on stage and sound amazing. They have a wide range of music that will get all your guests dancing. My guests and I never wanted to leave the dance floor, and months later, everyone is still bringing up how great the band was at my wedding. Billy also kept the night running smoothly and is so reliable and professional. I highly recommend booking this band!

Bill and nyo is the best!

What an incredible wedding band!!!!! Our guests had the best time dancing all night. We hired NYO for our ceremony and cocktail hour music, reception music (full band), and after party DJ. I was nervous that they would have too much on their hands, however Bill and his team stepped up in every way.

Not only did they step up, but they brought the best energy to our special day. They were worth every penny. Working with Bill was amazing front to back. From the start, Bill took the time to get to know us on a personal level, and the band practiced the songs that we wanted to hear the most (even the niche ones :). The night of, they played a lot of the songs that we were hoping to hear, while also playing into the crowd's energy and playing songs that got everyone up and moving.

Bill also crushed the sound system and DJ set for our after party. We are still getting messages about how much our guests loved the band and the DJ. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your next event!

DJ Boomer Rocks

I've known Bill Messinetti as a talented drummer for over 30 years. More recently he has expanded his repertoire to DJing. I contacted Bill in October, 2023 to consider DJing for my son's February,2024 wedding reception in upstate NY. He gladly accepted and promptly contacted my son and his fiance to get them thinking about what music selections they might choose. He was accessible, informative and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding.
On the wedding day he was punctual, calm, friendly and very professional. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and the dance floor was hopping all night. Bill really 'read the crowd' well and also accommodated spur of the moment musical requests of our guests.

Professional, punctual, engaging, talented, friendly…I could go on and on! Highly recommend for weddings and more!

Truly the BEST wedding band!!

Hiring Bill and his NY Orchestra band The Vibe was one of the best decisions I made in planning my daughter's wedding. Not only is Bill knowledgeable and personable, he is so easy to talk to that he makes you feel like you are working with a friend. When we first spoke he told me one of his talents he is most known for is 'reading the crowd' and knowing what music to play and when. He was 100% accurate about that! We did not give him a playlist and he just instinctively knew what songs to play as the night went on. Less than a half hour into the reception guests kept coming up to me and my husband telling us how INCREDIBLE the band is. There was honestly not one moment (other than when guests were eating their entree) that the entire dance floor wasn't packed. I am still getting texts and emails from our friends and family about how awesome the band was. They truly made the wedding unforgettable and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. If you want an amazing wedding band hire Bill and his NY Orchestra band The Vibe, you will NOT be disappointed!!

Best Music for the Best Wedding

NY Orchestras promised that our guests would walk away saying, “wow, that was the best wedding band we’ve ever seen!” Let me tell you, they did not let us down! We have friends and family member still talking about the music at our wedding. We even had a friend come up to us during the reception to state they were upset that they had already booked a different band for their wedding. We are telling you, they are that good!

Highly recommend!

NY Orchestras Entertainment was a fantastic band! They were incredibly flexible while working with us through the pandemic. Bill was always available to discuss details of our day. Most importantly, the music was incredible with multiple guests commenting that it was the best band they’ve seen perform at a wedding! I would recommend this group to anyone looking for a band for their wedding.
