Terrific band! They really "made" the wedding. EVERYONE was dancing all night. All our guests raved about them. Jon Simpson was just great to deal with. I would HIGHLY recommend them!

TriBeCa rhythm rocked! They were awesome at our wedding. They learned our wedding song and did a wonderful job. They kept everyone on their feet and dancing all night long. Highly recommend them!

Jerry Kravat was the perfect vendor for our nontraditional wedding party. We needed a DJ for a party my husband and I threw before leaving for our destination wedding. For all intents and purposes this WAS our wedding (the destination ceremony was tiny, only 16 people), so we needed someone who could handle our friends and family. Brad at Jerry Kravat introduced us to Dj Dr. Bert and it was the perfect fit. Bert was available through calls and emails right up to our event. He played everything we asked for and threw in plenty of surprises for music - We loved it. We received many compliments on the entertainment and professionalism of our DJ that day and Bert was the reason. Thanks Jerry Kravat Orchestras!

Red Hot Rhythm was amazing! Here's the email I sent to them a couple days after our wedding. Jon, I just wanted to thank you, Lance, Kim and the entire band for a phenomenal wedding on Sunday. A band is such an essential part of the evening and we cannot tell you how many people came up to us and told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The music was amazing. Not only friends, but my 81-year old uncle came up to me to tell me how much he enjoyed it. He was dancing at the very end of the party - the first time I had ever seen him hit the dance floor! And the dance-off between me and my nine-year old nephew which was motivated by the incredible tunes you played we will never forget. My legs are still sore from that marathon session. Of course, please feel free to use us as a reference anytime. And please let the band know how much we enjoyed them. Thanks again! Best, JN

We had the Manhattan Rhythm Machine for our wedding and were simply blown away by how amazing they were. Our guests were up dancing ALL night and everyone raved about how talented and fun the band was. Jon did an amazing job of pacing the night so there were no awkward moments or lulls. We really left everything up to Jon - just told him some songs we like and the "must plays" and he took it from there. A true professional and such a delight to deal with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic party!

It is often said that the band makes the wedding. This was certainly true for us. The Manhattan Rhythm Machine (led by Jon Simpson) was so fantastic that people could not stop dancing and are still talking about what a great party it was! Jon knows exactly how to pace the music to build up excitement and keep the party going. We could not have asked for a more special night!

In the months leading up to my wedding, I spent tireless nights hemming and hawing band and DJ, but in retrospect, I can say without a doubt that Jerry Kravat was one of the very best vendor investments we made! When I first met with Brad from JKO, I had just planned to hire DJ Bert (who came highly recommended by a friend), but the minute I saw a clip of Tribeca Rhythm - I knew we had to have them too! After seeing the clips of the and DJ, I was so impressed by the quality of Jerry Kravat's musicians that I worked with Brad to create a custom line-up for the entire wedding - from the very first step down the aisle, to the very last dance of the night. And they certainly did not disappoint - every performance was absolutely phenomenal! Our guests positively raved about the music and every time we watch our wedding video, we are more and more impressed! I cannot thank the Jerry Kravat family of musicians for all that they did to make our wedding PERFECT!

We had Red Hot Rhythm as our wedding band and I can say without a doubt that they were the BEST decision we made with our wedding planning. From the first meeting with Jon Simpson to the very last song at our wedding, the experience was extraordinary. Our guests are still raving about the band being the best wedding band they have ever heard and my husband and I could not have been happier with the music throughout. Lance and the Red Hot Rhythm delivered a top notch performance, getting the guests up and dancing and also allowing for some downtime for food and speeches. One of our biggest concerns in hiring a band was to not have it be so loud that people complain and I did not hear a single complaint about the volume all night. I would recommend RHR to anyone looking for a live band at any kind of event!!! EL

Tribeca Rhythm was out of this world. I am 24 hours removed from our wedding and felt compelled to find an outlet to show our appreciation for the band. In particular, the band leader Brad Detrick(who is also the general manager) was unbelievable. He was a consummate professional and helped us with things beyond the music while we were trying to navigate our wedding post Hurricane Sandy. The music was incredible and the energy level was off the charts. Thanks for everything!

I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Tribeca Rhythm is truly an amazing band . You are a band in every sense of the word. Not only was the quality of your music spectacular, but also your stage presence. People still can't stop talking about you guys. Also, Id like to thank you Brad, in particular for being an overall great guy to work with. Carolyn A

We hosted a wedding at the Four Seasons in Baltimore. We had guests from all of the country - all ages. The Manhattan Rhythm Machine perfomed and the croud was absolutely engaged. We can not say enough about this band. We were ALL delighted. Everything was in place for a spectacular wedding and Manhattan Rhythn Machine was OUTSTANDING. Jon Simpson (manager) paced the music , paced the energy and provided a collection of musicians/singer that strectched from Otis Redding to Lady Gaga to Adele. They excelled in all genres. The singers and musicians were so engaged and were enjoying themselves as well . If you want to have your guests talking about the incredible band --- choose this band. We are still hearing raves - two months later. We had 10 pieces and rocked the house. The after party was amazing with the DJ. "Twenty somethings" danced all night long. We used this band again with 4 pieces at a dinner party. Excellent .

We had Red Hot Rhythm for our Sept 1 wedding at Addison Park and they were AMAZING! I would give them the highest of recommendations. First of all, Jon is a DOLL to work with. He is so patient, accommodating and responsive. I called or emailed a lot and he always got back to me right away. In fact, of all the wedding vendors I had, I was the most comfortable with this band. I had no doubt in my mind that they would be amazing and I was very comfortable with them. On the wedding day I was extremely impressed by them. They have an amazing stage presence, look very cool and sound fantastic. They had everyone on the dance floor all night. Several guests commented that they thought a CD was on but then saw it was actually the band-- thats how good they sound. They had a wide range of music from Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra to Call Me Maybe to the Tarentella. We had some last minute changes like who we were announcing as part of the wedding party (one person could not be there) and they were able to change these details around last minute. We had some "cues" in our first dance like to call out the rest of the wedding party when we had a dip, and they were flawless in all these details. Also most other bands put on a CD when they take a break to eat their dinner, but this band had someone on stage live at all times. Book this band and you won't be sorry. They are worth every penny for an amazing wedding!

Rhythm Jam was wonderful-our guests actually commented on how great the music was, and no one complained about the decibel level (which we have done at many parties!) Brad Detrick brought us through the whole process with care and understanding, from our first meeting to the last dance!

Just amazing. A real band with real serious talent. The male lead vocal, the female lead vocal, every musician. There is no way you can hire this band and have a bad evening. I am so GRATEFUL that I had these people to play at my wedding. Brad Detrick was kind and helpful in guiding us through the moments the band would announce. The administrator who originally helped us, Jon, was also very clear and helpful. The dance floor hopped all night and yet the people who sat in the back area to talk were not overwhelmed. And our friends who ballroom dance were in heaven. Latin dancing, Motown, swing. I wish we could spend more nights dancing like this! Its the biggest party we will probably ever throw and this band delivered. Hire them.

Manhattan Rhythm Machine and Jon Simpson were off the charts. The performance at the wedding was incredible- the quality of instrumentals and vocals were just great throughout the night. The energy of the band had everyone dancing and singing all night. They are a pleasure to work with and great professionals. Reviews from all guests have been excellent. Thanks for a memorable evening Jon.

You couldn't ask for more, Manhattan Rhythm Machine were absolutely fantastic. The arrangements and vocals were off the charts. Their attention to detail and ability (and desire) to accommodate special request was amazing. We knew they were a great band but perhaps the most impressive and lasting memory of having them was the interest and sincerity they exhibited in making the event the special day that we will surely remember. I just can't say enough about how happy we are that we booked them.

We worked with Jon at Jerry Kravat Music, and he was also the band leader on our wedding day! We used Manhattan Rhythm Machine, which met and exceeded our expectations! They were a pleasure to work with in every way...from initial conversations, to planning, and our course on our big day! He made the entire process seamless, easy, was always flexible on schedule and really listened to our wants/needs. When deciding on father/daughter and mother/son dance songs, my husband picked a song that they were not as familiar with but they worked on the arrangement and it sounded great on our wedding day! Jon was always responsive to questions we had even in between our set meetings and was the consumate professional in every aspect along the way...and was really fun to work with! All of our guests had an unbelievable time and could not stop talking about how awesome Manhattan Rhythm Machine was! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night! We also used some of the musicians from the band for our ceremony (jewish) and cocktail hour which really set the mood for each. They also worked well to coordinate with our Cantor on the ceremony music which she sang to, and it all sounded beautiful. We HIGHLY recommend you hire Jerry Kravat and Manhattan Rhythm Machine for your wedding! ~Sarah & Jason

> Sarah & Jason. That's wonderful to hear. It was fun working with you and your family. We had a blast, too! Hope to see you soon at some other great event. All the very best, Jon

We hired the NY dream band! They were OFF THE HOOK! Everyone loved them... they set up were professional and fun from the first note... This band listened to us about what to play and what not to play... they were fluid, read the crowd and were SOO FAR FROM CHEESY! So much better than their video even!!! If you want people to dance and have your people hear some great music Hire these guys, then invite us! lol...

I had the pleasure of being the maid of honor at my sister's Tribeca Rooftob wedding in NYC and getting a chance to work with Rhythm Jam.... a killer band who played exactly what and how we wanted and had people dancing into the wee hours of the morning. As an aspiring singer myself, I wanted to sing the first dance for my sister, and of course they learned the song I asked them too, in my key, and IT COULD NOT HAVE TURNED OUT MORE PERFECTLY (with no rehearsal!!) ... with Jon in charge and all of the professional, top-notch musicians behind him, you can't go wrong.

These people were wonderful to deal with - from first phone call until the last dance. Easy, professional and fun ! Oh - also =- everyone danced all night long!

We used Tribeca Rhythm for our wedding and every person in attendance was just floored by their energy and vocals. We had a large party - about 200 people - and everyone was dancing the entire night. Diane and Richard both brought so much soul and spirit to their songs... we could not have asked for a better band. When anyone brings up our wedding, the first thing they mention is how Tribeca Rhythm just rocked the party all night! Friends have already booked them for their own weddings they were so good. We were so very happy with Tribeca Rhythm and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone. They interacted with the crowd, were a good value, and Richard and Diane rocked our party until the last minute. The band was a pleasure to work with, start to finish.

Jon Simpson from Jerry Kravat came highly recommended to us for our October 2011 wedding in Greenwich, and I must say that he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He went out of his way to make us feel so comfortable and assured us we would have a fantastic night......and he definitely came through! We were more than happy with our choice of using Rhythm Jam for our wedding. From start to finish, the flow of the evening was just perfect. All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. I would HIGHLY recommend Rhythm Jam.....the band made our wedding a night we will never forget.

This is the third wedding that the Jerry Kravat’s team has performed for a family wedding. Being the last girl in the family, we called Jon Simpson two days after getting engaged and before finding a location to make sure he was available for us. If you want the very best, you won’t get better than them! They are the BEST of the BEST. Our wedding was rocking all night long, and that’s all thanks to Jon and his crew. From the photographer to the videographer to the Stamford Yacht Club ( our venue) they all said they have never been to a wedding where the entire wedding was on the dance floor, right after the first dance! My venue called me two weeks after the wedding stating “ It was the best they ever had at SYC.” We danced so much, my husband and I forgot to cut the cake..opps! Not only is Jerry Kravat’s a dynamite group of performers, but they run a great/ trust worthy business. As an event planner and someone who frequents one too many weddings a year, I have yet to find a band as talented as this group. Jon and group… we love you guys and thank you again, for making our wedding everything we had hoped for and more! Perfect way to send the last daughter off!!! Much love, The Orsini/ Mulhearn Crew

We had a great experience using John and the Manhattan Rhythm Machine Band. The band was enthusiastic and easy to work with. They have a great presence and know exactly the right songs to play to keep the crowd energetic and dancing. The crowd danced for the entire night. You will not be disappointed!

Jon and Manhattan Rhythm Machine were great. They were flexible in terms of our budget and the type of music we wanted to have at our ceremony. They also let the groom's college band get up and play a couple of songs. We got amazing feedback from many of our guests about the band, and even some inquiries for future events. I would highly recommend them!

Manhattan Rhythm Machine played at our wedding weeks ago and guests are still talking about how much they loved the music and entertainment. The musicianship, awareness of the crowd and timing in terms of which songs to play at each moment of the party were excellent. The setup and logistics were seamless. It was as if the music just appeared out of nowhere and the party just came alive. Wedding parties are always memorable events, but this band really made our party unique and the guests had a great time. To top it off, my dad played two songs (drums) with the band and they totally rocked the party.

My husband and I booked Tribeca Rhythm for our wedding on 18th August 2011. Suzanne and Richard had the guests moving all night long and even got up to dance with my husband's very shy niece. The music was definitely the one thing we didn't have to stress about, Suzanne was great to work with and understood the vibe that we wanted for the day. There was music for all ages and everyone told us how much they loved the band. Thank you so much for making our day a success!! Shanon & Eric

Having a great band was very important in our wedding planning. Manhattan Rhythm Machine exceeded our expectations! Our guests and us thought the band totally rocked. Sign them...you'll be happy!

People are still talking about the band from our wedding, Manhattan Rhythm Machine. Even guests who work in the music industry were impressed. They played the perfect mix of what we'd requested and more that matched our tastes. Ours was a cocktail-buffet wedding at a small venue in Manhattan; we were concerned about the size of the dance floor, how many pieces would sound best in the space, etc. One of the band organizers actually went to the venue weeks before the wedding to check it out. The band was fun, so talented, professional, responsive to the crowd - they absolutely made our wedding.

We used Tribeca Rhythm at our Nov 13 wedding and could not have been happier. The band is so talented and kept the party going all night long. All of our guests commented on how amazing the band was and we could not agree more. In addition to talent of the band, was also the fact that Jerry Kravat was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They made the planning stress free. We could not recommend them enough!

My Wife and I had Tribeca Rhythm play our wedding on October 17th. I cannot say enough good things about this band. They had an amazingly diverse set list so for whatever occassion, they have the right songs to play. They kept the party from start to finish. I was even lucky enough to jam with them for 2 songs at the end of the night. Seriously, for the price this band charges, they are an absolute steal. They will work with you in any way to make your event wonderful. WIth all the other things we had to stay on top of for your wedding, the music was the one thing we didn't have to worry about. Anyone who throws a party knows, the music is the most important part for your guests to have a good time! Thanks guys for making our wedding fantastic. Sincerely, Rob and Whitney Volpe

> Rob and Whitney, It was an honor! We had such a wonderful time, it didn't feel like work at all! And you're right, music is the single most important component to making the party a smashing success! We're glad you, your family, and friends were able to enjoy it! Thanks again for the thoughtful review! All the best! : )

Jerry Kravat Music was great! The strolling violinist was a great hit at the cocktail reception and DJ Bert! was the perfect choice for our reception. He was great to work with and was willing to really put effort into making our reception memorable. We couldn't ask for a better company to work with. Jon was very helpful in the initial meeting, showing us our options with clips from different bands and DJs and working to provide us with the perfect package. The strolling violinist was simple to organize. DJ Bert! made the music planning simple as well. We met a number of times with Bert prior to the event to go over the logistics and our requests. Bert actually took the time to reconfirm all our selections prior to the wedding. He even got copies of songs by specific artists (Can't Help Falling in Love with You by Bocelli rather than Elvis). Bert did a great job at the reception and really helped to get everyone on the dance floor and celebrating our wedding. We would certainly use Jerry Kravat again and recommend them to our friends.

> Erika and Alex, DJ Bert is one smooth operator, isn't he? : ) We're so glad to hear you enjoyed everything! Your party was beautiful and memorable and we were so happy to be apart of it. All the best to you both!

Jerry Kravat Music was AMAZING! DJ Bert Morgan did a perfect job in taking what we had as "must play" songs and supplementing that with his own choices. We had some unique requests and he was more than willing to accommodate all of our needs. Jerry Kravat Music does a great job in working with you before hand to really understand the music you like and want to hear, along with planning out the reception. We also had a roving violinist from Jerry Kravat Music who was great. This is a top-tier company and will provide only the best in music! I would (and have) recommend them to my friends for their weddings.

We booked their band called Tribeca Rhythm and were beyond thrilled with their performance. They got people from all backgrounds and ages dancing and happy, and by the end of the night even the staff couldn't hold back and all the bartenders and waiters were dancing too! A friend is now using them at their wedding--book them quick! You will NOT be disappointed!

> Helena and Dara, Your wedding was proof that the staff like to party too! It was an outstanding party celebrating an outstanding couple! We had a great time and we're so glad you did too! Thanks again!

This band MADE the night! We had an older and smaller crowd, and a bunch of people that promise they "don't dance". Red Hot Rhythym had EVERYONE off their seats the entire night. The lead singer came out onto the dance floor and pulled people into the fun- everyone is STILL talking about our band even 4 months later. Thank you so much Red Hot Rhythym!!!!

> Red Hot Rhythm thanks YOU!!! But I must say, for having so many guests that "don't dance", the dance floor was REALLY packed!! And oh yes, Lance. He really loves to get the crowd involved... and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Great dance music and professionalism

> Ashley, Thank you for taking the time to offer us a review! I'm so glad that you were pleased with the overall services you received! I apologize that our responsiveness was not as prompt as you may have wished. We will see what we can do to be more effective and efficient in our correspondence! Thank you again for the review! You were fabulous! Tribeca Rhythm had a blast at your party! Maybe we'll work together again in the future!? Best of luck to you both! -Your Friends at Jerry Kravat

Tribeca Rhythm was such an integral part of our wedding! They kept the dance floor absolutely packed and played such a great mix of old, new, fast, slow - they really listened to what we talked about and requested before the wedding. THANK YOU!

> Allison, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! Your and Peter's wedding was such a fun party! Vermont didn't even know what hit em! We would do it all over again if we could! Thank you for being so wonderful to work with! Best of luck to you both!

We had Rhythm Jam play at our wedding and they were amazing! They played an eclectic mix of funk, rock, and standards. They interacted with the crowd and looked like they were having a great time with up there on stage. Our friends are still raving about the band three weeks after our wedding!

> Sara, Thank you for the review. So glad to hear that you enjoyed Rhythm Jam! Please let us know if you need anything else. Your wedding was so much fun, we'd be delighted to play another event for you! Congratulations and Best of luck!

AMAZING! We worked with Jon have our dream wedding, which needed a perfect blend of American (motown, Frank Sinatra, modern, Italian, ect) and Polish music. We booked Red Hot Rhythm and members Polski Rhythm and they worked perfectly together. We requested to have our wedding party walk into the intro of enter sandman, we walked into kick start my heart...they whipped it up only a few days before the wedding with out a problem. They were nothing short of perfect and a complete joy to work with. There wasn't a guest that didn't dance all night. I highly recommend them! The price will be different for different bands and because we booked two and added the lighting...so I estimated what a basic package would be. They also played during the cocktail hour and the music did not stop one throughout the reception.

> Melissa & Greg, Thank you SO much for such a thoughtful review! We had an amazing time! You hosted a party Red Hot Rhythm will not soon forget! Phenomenal! Thank you for letting us be a part of it!!!

SO amazing!!!!!! Over and over and over again, my friends told me after the wedding the most memorable thing was the music. I think it's fair to say (and maybe I'm a bit biased as it was my wedding, but I'm also a musician and know good music) that it was the most kick-ass wedding band ever. They played every song I wanted, nothing that I didn't, and got everyone up and moving. I have recommended them to everyone!
