Make your event a great success with the Central Park Band!

The Central Park Band has played multiple times for our annual Valentine’s Ball. We always receive outstanding feedback about the band and how fantastic they are. The wide range of music performed by these incredibly talented vocalists and musicians make a great event. Band members interact with the guests on the dance floor and invite them to participate on stage as well. Everyone always has a wonderful time when the Central Park Band is the entertainment. From beach music classics, to top 40, line dance, and rock ‘n roll favorites, the band effortlessly plays them all! They are a dedicated group of professionals who are well organized, flexible and easy to work with, and totally dependable. Their talent is so amazing; they always deliver a fantastic performance that leaves everyone saying “wow” and wanting to hear more at the end of a memorable event.

Highly Recommend

My fiance' and I had seen The Central Park Band enough times to know that they were who we wanted to have play at our wedding. In fact, they were the first vendor we booked after we got engaged.

Throughout the entire planning process, they were always available for my questions. They suggested things that I never would've thought to do, and those things ended up being some of my favorite parts of the reception. Tom Bagley called me the week of the wedding to discuss final details, and he was so thorough that when I finished that conversation, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. That is one of the greatest feelings for a stressed out bride!

On the day of the wedding, the band was extremely efficient and organized in setting up so as to not have to bother the wedding director or the wedding party. The reception music was perfect, from the jazz during dinner to the dance music afterwards. The band has an uncanny ability to get the crowd involved and ensure that everyone has fun.

We have had so many people tell us that our wedding was one of the best and most fun weddings that they have ever been to. I attribute most of that to The Central Park Band!

An awesome band for an awesome night!

The Central Park Band played for a small crowd( about 70 people) for my nephews after rehearsal party. The band was so accommodating!
They allowed another nephew and his wife to sing!!! It was great! The band had everyone dancing by the end of the night. I will definitely use them again. They can play anything and are AWESOME!!

A true band, keeps the crowd moving!

I first heard the band this weekend at the Clayton Harvest Festival. Every song they played had you dancing or singing along. I would love to see them again!

These guys not only sound good, but were great to work with. My wife turned 40 and I wanted a surprise party for her, John was awesome to work with , they were on time, priced in my budget, and by far they created the party. My friends at the event had a great time...... simply awesome.

I HIGHLY recommend The Central Park Band! I have seen them in public at a couple of different clubs in Raleigh and Clayton. I also saw them at a Private Party/ July 4th/ Birthday Party. They were awesome at all 3 venues! At the July 4th party, there were people ranging in age from 5 to 75. Everyone LOVED the band! They are so diverse... from playing old classics, to beach music, to today's Top 40! Not only are they talented, but they are also a fun band and very personable. 5 stars for The Central Park Band!

Review by Kimberly W.

Every year we have a July 4th party but this year combined it in celebration of a friends 50th Birthday party so we decided to book the Central Park Band. What A Difference!! Oh My Goodness! Everyone said it was the best party they had ever been to at someones house. They contacted us prior to the event to make sure our expectations would be met. The band came early to have plenty of time to set up. They were very organized. They were great with getting the crowd involved and even played longer than most bands I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend them for any event and hope to have them come back next year!

Then, the first dance followed by other formalities. We know all weddings are different, but when you have the right band, live music makes the perfect memory.

For an outdoor event of Beach Music: The Central Park Band plays some of the best shag tunes. From "Summertimes Calling Me" to our orignal "You Don't Know." We will keep you dancing!
