    The real deal! Professional, will do anything to make sure you have a good time. They will not disappoint, amazing!

    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!

    So much talent and so much fun!

    Victor and his team of incredibly talented musicians were so perfect at our wedding! Victor was so easy to communicate and work with, he really took the time and effort in curating a beautiful set list for our ceremony; we requested some pretty unique and eclectic song choices but he was enthusiastic about each, really delivered and made our day so special and memorable for everyone. If you’re looking for an elegant, bespoke experience with wonderful and inspired musicians, look no further! They will have your guests on their feet all night with their contagious enthusiasm and unbeatable talent!

    Victor is an amazing DJ!

    Victor was the best DJ we could have asked for. He brought the perfect New York City energy, even playing a saxophone and singing Frank Sinatra on request. His voice is tremendous, and it added an extra special touch to everyone who travelled into NYC for our wedding. If you're having an event in New York you can't find a more professional, fun, and nice DJ than Victor.

    Wedding Entertainment

    Manhattan City Band was phenomenal. They were really engaging with the guests and their music catered to guests of all ages. They do outstanding work and in my opinion are the best entertainment. If you are looking for a great time then this is the band.

    Simply the best

    Victor Lesser and MCM made our special day all the more special. We are grateful that we had them - from the ease of communication to the planning and their execution.

    The incredible musicians for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour brought an unassuming elegance that we were looking for us. Then the reception was exactly what we dreamed. The band’s music and vibe was simply fabulous. The had everyone dancing- old and young. MCM brought the celebration to our night. Our friends are still raving about how much fun they had.

    Perfect for a diverse crowd!

    Victor and Manhattan City Music are the best DJ and band I have ever worked with! They were able to get a very diverse and reluctant crowd ON THE DANCE FLOOR moving and grooving all night long! Everyone had a total blast and was raving about their work, even the people you wouldn't expect. You absolutely can't go wrong hiring them to make your wedding joyful and lively and fun.

    Also, our event was in the middle of a huge rainstorm. Vendors were canceling and late left and right, but they were on time and perfect professionals. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Could not recommend them more highly!

    Look no further- best band ever

    Do not look any further. THIS band does a fantastic job!! I have hired them for 3 large social events, not only my daughter's wedding. VIctor and his talented musicians know how to read your audience, balancing a mix of various types of music to get everyone up and moving. Another VERY important aspect is Victor adjusts the sound levels to fit the room. There is no one set level for every venue. This is key if you want people to be able to talk, dance and mingle throughout the entire evening.

    Added so much to our wedding!

    Oh my gosh we loved them! Our guests had a blast at our wedding with Victor and his band and having an amazing band enhanced the evening so much. Victor was incredibly pleasant and organized to work with leading up to the event. He went above and beyond to learn about what traditions were important to my family and did an amazing Tarantella at our wedding. I hope we get to see them perform again one day, thank you Victor and team!

    Made of wedding so much fun!

    All of guest told us that our wedding was the best they have ever been to and it was because of the entertainment. We hired Victor Lessor to DJ, sing, and lay live sax. The crowd loved him! I have never seen my dad dance in 64 years and he tore up the dance floor that night. People were having so much fun we extended the wedding reception! Best night ever! Highly recommended!

    Highly recommend!

    Victor and his band were excellent! They sounded great and brought the perfect energy to our wedding. Victor was so lovely to work with and really made sure everything went according to the plan we had talked about, including a specific arrangement of a song for my parents to dance to. He even saved the day and took over managing the flow of the night when our wedding planner unexpectedly left early. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and we would highly recommend him and his band to anyone!

    Excellent choice for our wedding

    Victor Lesser was the perfect fit for our beautiful wedding! His down to earth and charismatic personality radiated throughout the night making our reception lit with tons of energy, fun, endless dancing and happy memories! He serenaded my mom so beautifully😭 it warmed our hearts and made us cry. Hiring Victor for our wedding was a no brainer once we called him and realized how easy he made it for us to book his services. He provided an extremely useful music tool to choose appropriate songs for each event of the night and a cool state of the art photo booth which was a huge hit at the reception. Everyone left in awe after experiencing Victor’s incredible talent on the dance floor! Not only is he a professional DJ/MC, he sings beautifully and plays the saxophone along any song you just can’t stop jamming! Thank you Victor for our special and memorable night and thank you for fulfilling every one of our requests seamlessly. You truly are one of a kind!!! We are over the moon happy to have had you celebrating our union with us ❤️

    The perfect band for the perfect price!

    We had the pleasure of hiring Victor and the rest of the band for our wedding on August 25th. They were professionals throughout - I was very anxious about song choice and how everything works (I'm an over planner) and Victor never minded talking with me or explaining how everything works.

    Now on to the actual music! They absolutely rocked it!! I was told it was the best Hora my friends had ever been too, they customized some songs for my bride as a surprise, and worked the crowd perfectly. As you'll see in all these reviews - people kept asking who the band was, and made sure to let me know how good they were in the subsequent weeks.

    If you want a perfect band, for a reasonable price, that will alleviate your concerns about your big day - they are definitely the right band. Thanks again for everything!!

    Holiday Party

    Here’s a review you can use:

    I had the pleasure of working with Victor Lesser from Manhattan City Music for The Penn Club’s holiday party, where he provided an excellent photo booth experience. Victor was professional, attentive, and a delight to work with, ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The photobooth was a huge hit with our members, adding an interactive and memorable touch to the evening. I highly recommend Manhattan City Music for any event—they truly know how to elevate the experience!
