Pure attention to detail and musical excellence! This is one of the biggest days of your life! Why settle for anything less than perfect? We share this sentiment. Unrivaled levels of musicianship, professionalism, and showmanship are what set us apart! We hire only the most talented musicians who have been trained and have had extensive experience in musical performance. The Metropolitan Players have cultivated a reputation of keeping the dance floor packed all night long with their high-energy and unforgettable performances! ​ We believe that you shouldn't have to worry about anything on your special day. We will work with you via email, phone, in-person meetings, and anything else you need to feel comfortable before your big day!

We offer three customizable band packages - the Essential, the Gold, and the VIP! Please email info@metropolitanplayers.com for more information!

The 8-piece band (The Essential Package) includes drums, bass, guitar, keys, 2 male vocalists, and 2 female vocalists. The Gold Package adds 1 horn, and the VIP Package adds 3 horns. We also send a coordinator/sound engineer, who is there to coordinate all details with you and your venue the day of your wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly! You can also add musicians a-la-carte to any of our packages, so we can totally customize the group to create the perfect band you've been dreaming of!

The gentlemen wear black suits with a black shirt and a black tie. Ladies wear black cocktail-length dresses. Gotta keep it classy! And if you want something else - ask us! Chances are we can make it happen for you. ;)

Yup - we're humans and sometimes we have to pee! 🤣 But don't worry - we'll ensure music is playing non-stop throughout your wedding day. We'll play a customized playlist for you during our breaks. We'll work closely with you to create a timeline weeks ahead of time so that your guests are dancing when it's time to dance, and can comfortably chat while they're eating. We want the flow of the night to work, and be the best it can possibly be - so the timing of these "breaks" is based on what works best for YOU, and your perfect wedding day!

Yasssss! We have an amazing collective of NYC musicians that are happy to play for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour. Each package includes some combination of ceremony and/or cocktail hour music, so your entire wedding day will be covered! We can provide a string quartet, jazz quartet, harpist, classical singer, or anything in between. If you're not quite sure what you'd like, we gotchu! We'll work with you to offer suggestions so we can find the perfect music for this part of your big day.

Absolutely! What would your wedding be without your very favorite music!? We will learn any of your special dance requests, no questions asked. This includes your first dance, father/daughter dance, bridal party entrance, etc. In addition, we're happy to learn other requests if they're not on our song list. Make the day yours!

Whether you decide to hire a band or a DJ, the music you choose can really make or break your event. The energy of a live band is unmistakable and you and your guests will get the luxury of experiencing a performance. A band will certainly raise the excitement level and keep the dance floor packed!
