"Where do we begin?
From choosing you guys and our initial zoom meeting to 'chat through plans' we immediately felt at ease and in trusted hands. One of the most important aspects for us for our wedding day was that our family and friends had the greatest day, and you guys, Manhattan Roamers, enabled that for us.
Seamless communication, managing me as a very stressed bride, you couldn't have made the run up easier. Personalising song lists and choices, listening and taking on board our requests, big and small.
Then to our amazing acoustic set - to set the scene of your drinks reception, you amplified the warmth, love and happiness within Kin house. Tone exactly spot on, volume etc, even to ensuring the volume and tone were correct for me using your equipment to do my speech.
Then to the main event. You, personalised our first dance, acoustic verse of Everlasting love - into the main kick off - to perfection, it was everything we wished for and more. The dance floor was packed the entire evening, the addition of the saxophone, such a great and wonderful choice too, really was the cherry on the top.
Few parties and events I go to where people contact the following day to say how brilliant the music was, but we have been inundated from our family and friends to how great you guys were.
You made the day for us and I cannot thank you enough and truly could not commend you more highly, you truly are stars at what you do and bring so much happiness and joy into a room through your line of work.
Simply thank you guys.

"Absolutely fantastic, highly highly recommend!! Sam and the band nailed it. Great acoustic set for the afternoon reception in the garden and then the full band for the evening. So many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Really professional, responded super quickly. They sorted all the set up on the day no fuss at all and rolled with the delays! I couldn't recommend more highly."
"Amazing band, they had the dance floor rocking all evening. We booked them to fly out for our wedding to Sotogrande and Sam was super professional and very responsive and put us at ease. They knew exactly what they were doing, would highly recommend! Thanks for a great days guys. James & Annabel."
"The Manhattan Roamers were a pleasure to deal with - not only are they an excellent group of musicians who played precisely the set needed to entertain the guests at our wedding, but they also took the various sound and space requirements of our venue in their stride. We would not hesitate to recommend them as a wedding band!"
"Absolutely fantastic - couldn't have been more perfect! All our guests were on the dance floor all night which made me so incredibly happy. Every single song was brilliant and the band seemed to be enjoying the party as much as we all were. Sam responded almost instantly to queries by email in the weeks leading up to the wedding. They arrived in plenty of time and set up promptly. The perfect band! Thank you very much!"
"Sam and the band were superb - fitted perfectly into our brief for high quality professional musicians in a relaxed garden party atmosphere and ‘reading the room’ to optimise guest experience with a flexible approach. They were truly the highlight of our wedding reception, particularly the song they learned especially for the occasion."
"Big thanks to The Manhattan Roamers who rocked our wedding! You guys completely surpassed all expectations. We've had no end of comments from guests saying you were the best band they've ever seen at a wedding."
"Absolutely legendary night. I looked at hundreds of bands to choose the perfect act for our wedding and you guys were on another level. Thanks so much."
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Sam and The Manhattan Roamers. They smashed it. A slick, professional and truly lovely bunch of guys. From the ceremony and drinks reception acoustic entertainment to the band and DJ – the list of thanks is for life. You made our wedding such a wonderful and memorable day. So many guests commented on how awesome the music was. And it was!! We were just so thrilled to have you guys make our special day even more special."
"We had a post-Ball meeting a couple of days ago and the committee asked me to pass on their gratitude for an excellent performance, so once again, many thanks to you and the band. Absolutely nothing but positives!"
"The Manhattan Roamers are extremely talented musicians who cover a wide range of genres and are adaptable to playing in intimate surroundings or to hundreds of guests in a large arena. Their endearing and genuine nature is infectious."
"Thank you so much for providing wonderful music for our wedding! And for helping with the audio equipment. You guys did a great job feeling the crowd and playing music they liked. It was a night we will never forget!"
"I have always dreamt of a band for my wedding. Thank you so much Sam and The Manhattan Roamers for making our the pre-wedding dinner, the wedding ceremony as well as the party unforgettable. Sam is so professional, flexible and helpful. All the rather difficult logistics went seamlessly. We were looking for a band for our wedding in Greece, to cover 2 days of partying. Sam not only played the piano for our church wedding (including french and Latin songs), but The Manhattan Roamers also played jazz on our pre-wedding dinner, as well as party music during the wedding party. You are phenomenal! During the party, you got all our guests dancing, there were songs for everybody’s taste, the saxophonist was incredible playing in the dance crowd, and all the other musicians from the band were also perfect. I didn’t leave the dance floor! Everybody commented on how great you all were. Sam, your voice is amazing! We highly recommend all of you, and I was already asked for your contact details! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the day such a memorable one."
"The Manhattan Roamers were phenomenal! Sam was great to work with, he was really flexible and helpful. Their performance was amazing. We asked them to perform an altered version of 500 miles as our first dance song and it was absolutely perfect. They nailed every song, built up their set list to really get the party started and managed to get every one of our guests dancing with us. The whole band had such a positive attitude, even when it started pouring down and it looked like our whole outdoor wedding had to be moved inside last minute they were helping out and looking for solutions. And when we eventually moved back outside they made it all work seamlessly. We cannot thank them enough. They gave us the party we had been hoping for. Saying we highly recommend them doesn’t even begin to cover it."
"We just wanted to say thank you very much – you were all absolutely brilliant. You sounded amazing, created the right sort of atmosphere we were looking for and had everyone up on the dance floor. All our friends loved the music – the indie vibe went down an absolute storm! You performed the first dance just as requested and I’ll have great memories of jumping around to Wheatus and Blink 182. We’re so pleased that we booked you as our band – we would highly recommend you to anyone!"
"It was an absolutely fantastic wedding and the day could not have gone better. Even the snow was a bonus and gave us some spectacular photos, although we hope it didn’t make travelling home too difficult for you all. Can you pass on our sincere thanks to the band for a great job. The music was outstanding, the song choices really worked and we had some lovely feedback on the way you interacted with our guests. Indeed, without exception, our guests thought you were brilliant. Can we also thank you personally for your thorough professionalism, advice and guidance during the planning process – it made it all so much easier and felt effortless. Thank you all once again, and we will certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to others. All the best! Diane & Ray."
"We can’t thank Sam and The Manhattan Roamers enough for helping make our wedding day in Sicily so special, extremely fun and forever memorable! All our guests commented on how insanely good the band was both vocally and at creating a fantastic atmosphere that made everyone want to get up and dance – we would wholeheartedly agree! Sam made everything such a joy during the planning stages – so professional and genuinely friendly and helpful. His solo singing during dinner and our first dance displayed just how talented he is a singer; it was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The band and DJing entertainment post-dinner was just as amazing and no one wanted it to end – we would highly recommend The Manhattan Roamers!"
"We had a fantastic day! Thank you so much for absolutely smashing the music, we had so much fun dancing with everyone. My wife loved the Chilli Peppers - you guys killed it!"
"You guys were amazing at the wedding - we've had so many comments both at the time and since about how much you guys rocked it! We had a great time!"

"The band were great and really professional throughout the booking process and on the day. They arrived 2 hours before the set up time and were able to rehearse and get set up with time to spare. Sam and the band were also accommodating by allowing us to use the mic to make some announcements during their break and took some requests for songs during that intermission from some of the guests. During the end of the second set with 15 minutes remaining, the hotel security informed us that there had been some complaints over noise so Sam was able to adjust his set and play quieter to ensure there was no further disturbance. Both sets were made up of great songs that were loved by the guests and many were dancing and singing along. The great reception to some of the tracks prompted the band to then play more from that artist and they tailored the set to what people were enjoying and what was getting a great response. From both a booking and arranging, and performance point of view, The Manhattan Roamers were fantastic and I would happily recommend them in the future."
"Everyone said how good you guys were and asked for your details. Thank you for making our special day amazing."
"The Manhattan Roamers were incredible and I will most definitely be in touch regarding future events."
