    Honestly the BEST wedding band I have ever heard! They played a wedding I recently attended and they really made the night incredible. The music was fun, they kept the flow of the party well, and they had worked with the family of the couple to include some surprise performances by the groom and the grooms father.

    We used the Metropolitan Players for our wedding in September, and they were phenomenal! The dance floor was packed the entire time, and they did every song perfectly. Erin was beyond wonderful to work with, she was always responsive and answered all of our silly questions. The day of, everything went exactly as planned. If you don't use the Metropolitan Players for your wedding you will be making a mistake! Our wedding would not have been the same without them!

    ... They provided a violin and piano for our ceremony, and the musicians were able to completely improvise when our Rabbi surprised us by having all of our guests sing the Priestly Blessing to the tune of The Beatles' "Let It Be", and it made the entire ceremony SO special!! ... Our guests did not sit down the entire night, which was possible because even during "breaks", at least one musician kept playing. For four straight hours we had non-stop live music, for a price that was beyond reasonable. Our guests are still raving about the band weeks after the wedding!! Hiring the Metropolitan Players for your event is the best decision you could make! They are the BEST!!

    Erin, Drew, Adriane and every member of the Metropolitan Players are amazing. We got married earlier this month and had our reception at Lawrence Beach Club in Atlantic Beach, NY. The steel drums/keys at the cocktail hour, music at the reception, the vibe and TMP's help with keeping everything flowing was just incredible. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the band and we would highly recommend TMP's to anyone getting married. Erin was a pleasure to work with from day 1 and all of the songs we discussed in our meetings prior to the big day along with the vibe we were envisioning came to life. September 9th was the best day ever and TMP's were a huge part of it!
