Energizing

The one thing my husband wanted when planning the wedding was a live band. We have heard the New York Players at other events so we knew. we had to check them out for the wedding. We researched a few bands and went to listen to some but none of them were as interactive and upbeat as this group! When we walked into see them, and saw the saxophonist on the floor playing with the crowd, we knew they would lead a good time! During the planning process, Mike was responsive and open to our thoughts. He and the band were willing to learn a few songs that weren't on their playlist for us for our ceremony and reception which made the day extra special. They did a great job for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They had our guests up and dancing all night!

Yes to the band!!

New York Players are the best wedding band! They rocked our wedding in September at the Wylder Windham Hotel. They had everyone up and dancing all night long and it was so fun. Our family and friends are still raving about how awesome the band was. If you are between a band and a DJ, pick the band and pick New York Players.

They were so communicative leading up to the wedding and learned songs from my fiancés favorite band for him. They are fun, professional and just awesome. 1000% recommend!!

Best decision for my wedding

The NYP were absolutely amazing. The dance floor was packed all night and we had so much fun with the band. They also did acoustics for my ceremony and it was so beautiful. Mike was very easy and fun to work with. I would book them if you can. You will not regret it.
