Wedding Music Bands in New York

This band is the absolute best. We had them at our wedding and booked them again for my 40th birthday recently. It was just as amazing as I remember. If you want to have everyone on the dance floor and keep the energy high, this is the band to book.

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!

Rich and his team were incredible. We spoke with rich quite a few times before the big day which was great, we got all the details done early which took so much pressure of on the wedding day. Rich made sure to follow our recommendations and our no play list. Everyone was out on the dance floor the whole time. Excellent band definitely recommend to anyone in the New York area!!

We had Radio Riot for our wedding, and they were incredible. Wide range of genres. The best mash ups. Everyone danced the whole night! People still raving about the band, weeks later. Each singer and musician brings their talent to the top! Top notch band!

I cannot say enough good things about Atlas the Band! They truly made our wedding reception the absolute best party of our lives. They matched our energy and were so interactive with us and our guests. We had so many guests come up to us throughout the night and at the end of the night to tell us how amazing the band was! They were so fun and played a great mix of oldies and current songs throughout the night. During their breaks we requested they play a playlist we had premade which John did with no problem. I highly recommend Atlas the Band if you are looking for a wedding band that will keep your dance floor packed all night and leave your guests saying "that was the best wedding ever!"

JK Band was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! The band came recommended by our venue and definitely lived up to expectations. One of the most unique and valuable parts of working with them is getting to work directly with the bandleader, Joel, who is both a true professional and an artist. No middlemen, no surprises, just complete confidence in exactly what you’re getting on the big day. Their energy was incredible, especially during the opening dance set, which set a fantastic tone for the entire evening. They kept the night running smoothly, followed the schedule flawlessly, and MC’d with ease and charm. The band played a wide range of music across genders, genres, styles, and decades, ensuring every guest, no matter their age, was out on the dance floor. They kept the energy high from start to finish. And their horah was absolutely outstanding, full of life, joy, and celebration. We couldn’t have asked for a better band. Highly, highly recommend JK Band!

We had Naked Soul play at our wedding in June 2025, and they truly made it the best night ever!! Starting from the beginning, Tony was super responsive and helpful, and always made us feel so special! We were so excited throughout the whole planning process, and they exceeded our expectations! The dance floor was full the whole night (even our grandparents danced!). After our event, we got so many compliments on them! We also had them put on a jazz duo for our cocktail hour, which was equally as amazing. We can’t recommend them enough!!

We had a wonderful experience with Manhattan City Music! They were professional, willing to go above and beyond, and above all, really fun. They literally kept our party going and even had someone on sax and singing to our crowd. They brought lights, mics, and all you need to throw a great party. They even helped us with questions to ask the venue re: other aspects of the event that they were not responsible for. Talk about feeling supported! I highly recommend Manhattan City Music and Victor Lesser the owner, without reservation! Amazing group to work with. They are the real deal!

Mother of the groom piping in here...Absolutely the most UNBELIEVABLE night EVER!!!! Our friends cannot stop talking about the band - it was truly the most spectacular experience ever, and it added SO MUCH to the night of our dreams!!! Thank you all so much for the most NOTEWORTHY performance I've ever seen! We all anticipated this weekend with such excitement, and we cannot thank YOU enough. You set the stage for a fairytale wedding we'll ALL remember forever! I HIGHLY recommend Soulsystem Orchestras to ANY family looking to create an incredible night!

We aboslutely LOVED stolen moments!!! We had them for our wedding this past October (2025) and they kept the dance floor going all night long. We also had the classical trio for the ceremony and the calypso steel drums for the cocktail hour. Everyone was raving about how great all the music was. We really couldn't have asked for better entertainment! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
