We had the absolute best experience working with ECE and Central Park The Band. A few months before our wedding we backed out of a prior band contract and were truly panicking but ECE came to the rescue and fortunately Central Park The Band became available! Throughout the whole process Laura was extremely responsive and informative under our tight timeline and when we connected to the band lead Andrew it was night and day working with ECE vs the prior band. Andrew made us feel so comfortable and was incredible to work with on timeline planning, music selection, and then day of making sure we were aligned and ready to party! Our guests could not stop raving how much they loved them, they truly kept us on our feet dancing and singing our hearts out all night. We could not recommend ECE and Central Park enough, they set the tone for our reception and now we have the most amazing memories to look back on! THANK YOU!
Andrew and the whole band were absolutely incredible! From their showcase to get a sneak peak of their work before booking them to their communication during the planning stage, they exceeded our expectations. They were great to work with, answering all our questions leading up to the wedding and discussing plans to make the night run smoothly.
And as great as they were to work with they are even better the day of. The keyboardist during our ceremony and cocktail hour were exceptional and Andrew’s MCing was top notch. During our reception, these guys kept the dance floor rocking all night. They fed off the energy of the crowd and kept it going all night so there was never a dull moment. They even came out into the dance floor to interact with everyone! We had people coming up to us all night telling us how good the band was and asking how we found them. Can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for a wedding band!
We had Central Park play at our wedding, and we could not have dreamed of a better band! With four incredible vocalists, plus a phenomenal group of musicians, every single member of the band was outstanding. Their talent is undeniable, but what really set them apart was how perfectly they read the crowd—every song choice kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night long.
Beyond the music, they made us feel so special on our wedding day. They created an atmosphere that was fun, personal, and unforgettable, and our guests are still raving about them. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your wedding to the next level, Central Park is it. Absolutely flawless from start to finish!
We were so lucky to be introduced to Central Park the Band. They were absolutely incredible from the planning process through the actual event. So many of our guests said that this was the best band they have heard at a wedding - and we totally agree. They helped make the night unforgettable, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding or any event.
My new husband and I have been receiving messages all day about how incredible our wedding band was. We could not recommend Central Park enough! Working with them was so easy and they are so fun and talented!!
Central Park absolutely brought the vibes to our wedding! Not only was the actual event itself wonderful but even the planning process up into the day was incredible. You can truly tell how much they care about serving you! Andrew went above and beyond with his consultations for me and my husband, and they executed wonderfully. 10/10 for us!
We are still absolutely over the moon about our wedding day, and no small part of that is due to Central Park. You were great to work with in the lead-up, endlessly patient, and then on our wedding day the band just knocked it out of the park. So many of our guests texted us afterward and noted how great 'the band' was. Hearing the opening chords for our first dance song as the band was practicing during cocktail hour is a moment that neither Sean nor I will ever forget, not least because it gave us an opportunity to practice our first dance alone for a quick minute without anyone else around... and also because you all made it possible for us to have a live version of our song at our wedding, and how incredibly cool is that? And then there was your amazing transition from "Favorite Everything" to "Pretty Woman" to get the party started, and then hearing the song for the first time that my dad picked out (we all agreed that Central Park performed it better than the original)... just an amazing, incredible performance all around. If we ever have the opportunity to host another event with a live band, you will for sure be our first call. We can't thank you enough!
Central Park the Band performed at my company's 300+ person annual holiday celebration in style! Andrew, the band lead, took the time and effort to meet with me before, during and at the time of the event to understand and capture my company's vision, theme and music. On the day of the event, Andrew worked with me and the event manager to make sure we were on target with our timeline of events. The band kept the dance floor alive throughout the entire party by staying engaged and playing the hits. Andrew was always ready to pivot and make changes if needed! My company's holiday celebration was a success due to Central Park the Band bringing our theme to life! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Andrew and his team and I would recommend utilizing their services for both large and small scale events. I can't wait for our next event together!
This isn't just your "average" wedding band; Central park has something special.
You get 4 incredible vocalists that can do it all, and epic instrumentalists to match. From the Hora, to the parent dances and beyond, these guys DELIVERED! Andrew, the band leader, was super responsive to all my questions and had great energy throughout the entire process. He knows how to get the party going and make the bride and groom feel special. The only time the dance floor wasn’t packed was when people were eating! Even my elderly family members got up to dance the night away. They are willing to learn songs that aren't already in their repertoire, which really meant a lot to us, since there were a few tunes that we requested that brought our personality to the big day.
You can stop your live band search now, because this band is all you need!
I wish I could give them a million stars because 5 stars are not enough! From beginning to end Andrew and Central Park were absolutely amazing. They were there step by step to make sure our wedding day was special and unforgettable! Andrew was incredibly nice, helpful, professional, and everything in between. He took the time to get to know us and make sure everything we wanted on our wedding day was covered. Andrew and the band make you feel like you are a part of the family and not just a customer. Do yourself a favor and save time by booking these guys right away, I promise you will not regret it! They blew our expectations out of the water. Our guests are still talking about Central Park! I wish I could have a party every weekend just to hire them!
I truly could not have picked a better band! I had people running up to me on the dancefloor all night asking who they were and how I found them! Andrew and his team were so kind and easy to work with throughout the entire booking and planning process. They made the night run so smoothly and I don't think a single person was off the dancefloor from beginning to end - did people even eat cake? Also, the band offered to learn our special dance songs to play live, including our first dance and dances with our parents - it really added such a special touch. I would highly highly recommend to anyone getting married or having an event!
We couldn’t have been happier with Central Park the Band at our wedding! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Their energy was infectious, and they were so interactive with the crowd, really reading the room and keeping the dance floor packed the entire night. Their song selection was amazing, with a wide range of hits from different genres and decades that appealed to all our guests. Whether it was classics, current hits, or fun surprises, they nailed every performance. Our guests are still raving about them!! If you want a band that will not only keep your guests entertained but make your wedding unforgettable, we highly recommend them!
Our guests were raving about them all night and they really kept everyone on the dance floor. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, the music was perfect! Andrew was so friendly and amazing to work with leading up to our wedding day and ensured our first dance song was played just how we wanted it. The band is so talented and so professional, they played a huge role in us having an absolute blast at our reception. Book them now -- you won't regret it!!
I don’t think I would do this band justice if I only talk about how amazing their performance was during our wedding. From the very beginning, working with Andrew was nothing short of delightful. He’s friendly, approachable, and wants nothing more than to help make your event the best it can be. His experience shows with his suggestions and guidance all while never being pushy and letting you create your own experience in the most effortless way possible. Then we get to the performance the day of our wedding. Wow!! These guys know how to get the party started and how to keep it going! The song choices created a perfect setlist that kept the dance floor full from start to finish. Several people remarked that they’ve never danced that much at a wedding before. And everyone we talked to after the wedding made a point to let us know how incredible the band was without us even asking. When it comes to how the band plays, you’re going to have a hard time finding a tighter band than these guys. Everything was on point from the drums to the vocal harmonies and everything between. If we could give these guys 10 out of 5 stars, we would! We can’t recommend Central Park the Band enough.
The main thing my husband and I focused on for our wedding was making sure we found a good band. Having our wedding be the most epic party of our lives was goal #1 and we could NOT be happier that we went with Central Park the Band. They were the absolute BEST and I could not say enough positive things about them. We had such an easy and pleasant experience from the get-go with Central Park. They went above and beyond to find a date and time for us to see a showcase, and once we did that, we immediately knew that they were the band for us. As the bride, I was a little particular with some things that I wanted, and Andrew, the band leader, was so accommodating and made me feel so at ease as we planned. I trusted them completely to set the vibe for the night, and they did not disappoint! Throughout the entire night of our wedding, they kept the party going and people on the dance floor. Since the wedding, we have received compliments from so many of our guests who said the band was one of the best wedding bands they have ever heard – and we completely agree! I am unbelievably grateful that we had Central Park the Band as the soundtrack to the best night of our lives. They made it completely unforgettable, and I could not thank them enough. I would highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a talented, fun, and professional band to create the perfect sound for their event!
Central Park was by far the best band my wife and I could have asked for to play at our wedding. We went to see multiple bands before our wedding and Central Park was the only band that came up to us personally to make an effort to get to know us and get an idea of what we were expecting on our wedding day. We met with Andrew a few weeks before our wedding to go over introductions for our bridal party, songs we wanted played, and different versions of songs we were hoping they could play for us. They played Take my Breath Away for our first dance and an upbeat version of Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid as our entrance song and they delivered perfectly on both of those. Everything on our wedding day was exactly what we asked for and was so much better than we expected (and we were expecting nothing short of amazing to begin with after hearing them)! We had countless people tell us after our wedding how awesome the band was and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top tier live entertainment!
We recently had the absolute pleasure of booking Central Park the Band for our wedding, and we cannot emphasize enough how much their performance elevated our special day.

We can't say enough amazing things about Andrew, he helped us with our whole timeline and overall smoothness of the day! Truly amazing vendor and we feel like we are leaving with a friend.
Thank you, Central Park the Band, for being an integral part of our most cherished day!!!
If we could give this band 10 stars, we absolutely would. These are your go to performers for any event. Since our wedding a month ago, we are looking for every excuse to hire them back, and recommend them 100% to anyone.
CPTB was referred to us from a friend who had been to 3 CPTB weddings already, all in the same family. That was enough for us to sign on right there. We reached out and Frank was so responsive and very helpful with arranging a time to see the band play at a showcase or public event. We saw CPTB play at a public event outside at a bandstand, and they had the whole crowd up and dancing by the middle of the show. Sealed the deal.
Andrew was so professional and great to work with the month leading up to the wedding to coordinate song lists, timeline, requests, etc. and put so much effort into making sure this was going to be the best night ever, and it was. He has lots of great ideas and they have so much experience to make the night as special as it can be.
It felt like this band was playing with the energy that this was the most important show of their lives. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Aunts and uncles who claimed they “don’t dance” were out there busting quite many a move. You might want to think about upgrading to a larger dance floor when you hire them.
When our friends and family talk about the wedding, the first thing anyone mentions in their compliment is the band. Usually followed by a whole list of adjectives describing how incredible they were. We wholeheartedly agree!
Our only regret is that we did not get on our hands and knees and beg them to play for another hour or more. We will definitely be CPTB groupies now and excited to see them play at more events!
I have been to a ton of weddings with bands, and Andrew and the gang at Central Park are THE BEST of the best. Seriously, don’t waste your time looking for anyone else. My sister had hired them for her 2021 wedding and when we danced the night away then, we knew that we just had to have them when our 2023 wedding came too. And honestly, I think they got even better!
My biggest fear for my wedding was that people wouldn’t dance and let me tell you, EVERYONE was dancing, from start to finish, the entire night. I didn’t provide “must have songs” or “do not play” lists, I just trusted Andrew and his team and they delivered. The timing on how they did everything was unique and truly set the tone for the night. Out of all the things to get complimented on about your wedding from your guests, “the band was amazing!” was the #1 thing our guests gave us feedback on. Not to mention that they were just super accommodating to our needs too. At our venue rehearsal the night before a question was brought up about av/audio for our officiant at our outdoor ceremony - unbeknownst to me our venue apparently didn’t provide it and one quick text to Andrew at 8pm that night and he had a microphone and all of the ceremony audio covered for us the next day for the wedding, no questions asked. They played our cocktail hour too and everyone enjoyed themselves. I cannot recommend Central Park the Band enough!
Central Park the Band was recommended to us by several people. From what we had heard, they are the #1 band. What we learned was that those people were right! We worked with Frank initially during the booking process. As someone with a famous name, Karly Simon, Frank communicated creatively by incorporating Carly Simon's song titles into his messages. COVID restrictions slightly impacted our wedding planning process, but we were able to see Central Park in action before making our decision. DO IT. GO SEE THEM IN PERSON! TOTALLY WORTH IT! Their sound and energy are top-notch the whole time. You can’t help but find yourself singing and dancing to EVERY song! During the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, we worked with Andrew on the logistics. He was so helpful with recommendations and accommodations based on what we hoped for in our event. On our wedding day, they really kept our party movin’ and groovin’. It’s been two months since our wedding, and our guests are still gushing about how great the band was that night. We even heard that someone who attended our wedding booked Central Park for their wedding! Hiring Central Park the Band is the way to go; you won’t be disappointed. We are so grateful for Central Park the Band and can’t wait to hear/see them again soon!
