The Manhattans

"The Manhattans were nothing short of brilliant – from initial contact with Sam right through to the day itself their communication was top notch. We worked with them to create the set lists we wanted and they even played songs that weren't originally on their list! The dance floor was the place to be at our wedding! We had huge fun – the acoustic duo were perfect for our drinks reception, then the band played a mix of indie songs, finishing with a DJ set of noughties bangers. They excelled at all of it and we've had loads of compliments about them! They are super talented, professional and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. THANK YOU!"

"Sam thank you so so so much!! Wow wow wow - all the music was absolutely amazing 🤩 I can’t even put it into words how amazing everything was and how grateful we are! Absolutely everyone said the band was unbelievable - and probably very evident from the full dance floor 🪩!!!"

"Hi Sam! Well what can I say! That was amazing! Luke and I and all the guests had the best night! Everyone was saying how wonderful the band was! You guys absolutely smashed it! Truly made our night! Hope you got a great video of your original song! Also excellent! The sax and the guitar on the lawn was really wonderful! A great idea and so well executed! Sorry we didn’t really get to say hello! It was all such a blur of people! Thank you so much it was a true blend of Luke and I’s music choices! Everyone dancing until the absolute end! Perfect!"

"Sam! We cannot thank you and the rest of the band enough for everything last weekend! The music in the ceremony exceeded all of our expectations - Todd, our registrar, said it all: it really was a very special cover of Love Like a Sunset, and both emphasised Millie’s entrance whilst putting us both at ease. And rocking out the room to The Libertines brought a smile to everyone’s faces! At the Troubadour, you guys brought the party! The set list was immaculate from start to finish - I recall mentioning it a couple of times during the night, but you guys really were stars! Everyone we spoke to on Sunday was saying that the music was a genuine highlight, with “banger after banger after banger”. It was amazing to see the majority of people still dancing away until the last song - which, for Millie, had to be something from Mamma Mia! We also just wanted to say that your professionalism in the lead up to the wedding also took all of the stress out of organising things for us, between your truly rapid response times, your flexibility in our song choices and managing logistics with the Troubadour. Please do let us know if there is any process for us writing a review for you guys - we would absolutely love to sing your praises! We’re expecting pictures from our photographer during the course of next week, and our friends are drip-feeding us with pictures and videos from their phones. We’ll send over a couple of good ones when we get them through! All the best, Millie and Chris."

"Thank you so much to Sam and the band for being absolutely incredible on our wedding day in June 2024. We had the acoustic duo (guitar and saxophonist) at our reception drinks after the ceremony and they were perfect. They set the relaxed atmosphere that we really wanted to help our guests get in the celebration mood. The volume and choice of music was exactly right and we were so happy we decided to add them to our package. We then had a 5-piece band for the evening which included the sax. They were also exceptional and we have had many compliments on our band choice. The band have an extensive set list and were super flexible to accommodate what we wanted for our first dance to blend two songs together seamlessly. The dance floor was absolutely packed from start to finish and the band’s energy was a huge factor. Sam went above and beyond from our first enquiry through to the day happily taking calls, answering questions and emails really quickly and making us feel that everything was under control. We couldn’t recommend Sam and the band enough. It was a pleasure to have them at our wedding and we wish we had another event to see them again!"

"SAM!!!!!!!!! LAST NIGHT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! We have lost our voices!!!!!!!!!! Every second was just incredible - you and the band were terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE was dancing all night and singing along!!!!!!!! So much so that some people seemed to lose their shirts….. We can’t thank you and the band enough!!! The ceremony music was beautiful - loved the shoutout from the registrar Todd for your piano playing!!!"

"Hi Sam, I just wanted to say a really big thank you to you and the band for Saturday night. It was a really fun night and many people said how much they loved your music. Hope you all enjoyed the evening and had everything you needed. Best wishes, Carly."

"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."

"Hi Sam, just wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday, you guys were absolutely amazing from start to finish and so many people have said the same. Truly grateful to you all, thanks so much!! Mollie."

"We were lucky enough to have a recommendation for The Manhattans but for anyone who feels they just don't know where to start with seeking their perfect band we have absolutely no hesitation in telling you to book these guys. Communication along the way was very straightforward, Sam was very happy to answer any questions and accommodate any special requests. They really know their audience, fantastic energy yet calm and well organised plus not forgetting fabulous musicians. Sam plus one other musician played during the ceremony and drinks reception, moving on to a four piece band for the evening. So many positive comments from our guests....just wish we could do it all over again!! Thank you so much, Wendy."

"The Manhattans made our special day even more special. They couldn't have made it any easier for us (leading up to and through the evening) and all our guests were absolutely blown away by the music. Sam covered the time from 18:30 through to 01:00 with a mixture of full band, sax and guitar only and DJ seamlessly. Honestly I can't say enough about them and would highly highly recommend them as the band to cover your wedding and/or any other special occasion. Thanks again guys, Cheers, John Harrison."

"Hi! I didn’t get to speak to you at all last Saturday, mainly because I refused to leave the dance floor, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing my wedding! We had very high expectations but you surpassed them a million times over and made it the most perfect day. Every single guest we’ve spoken to since has said the band and sax were incredible. AMAZING! 💛"

"5 Stars - JUST BOOK THEM! The band were great, very flexible even though we were running late. The music was for everyone and had all generations on the dance floor. Biggest downside was that we couldn’t keep them for longer! We had two zooms in the run up to talk through logistics and musical preferences and were then sent the band's playlist from which we could choose our favourites. All in all they made the evening."

"Thank you so much for a fab time – you guys were incredible! Everyone i have spoke to have said how amazing the band were!"

"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."

"Just wanted to drop you a message to thank you and the band for Saturday. It was a long day but the music was on point throughout. Steve and the band sounded great and all of our guests kept raving on about how good the music was."

"The Manhattans were absolutely brilliant! We booked them for our wedding and I am so pleased we chose them. Sam was great at communicating during the lead up to the day and we loved how they learnt and played our first dance. Such a great band, thank you!"

"Dear FixTheMusic team, Having a live band really added extra energy to our wedding. We loved that the Manhattans learned our first dance song, and responded to our guests’ favourite songs list. Kind regards, Katy and Damien."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for last night. What an amazing bunch of guys you are. Everyone was so complimentary of you and I had such a fun evening. My feet are now killing me from all the dancing but it was so worth it. Loved ‘Kiss Me’ and ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand' and they meant a lot to my hubby and me so thank you. I hope your journey back was ok and thanks again for being awesome! Xx"

"The Manhattans were an absolute sensation at our wedding! They effortlessly had everything under control, from ensuring the dance floor was packed, to coordinating the perfect lighting colours for the cake cutting and first dance. Through the run up and on the day the band made us feel at ease with their clear plan and professionalism, plus they injected humour and fun into the mix, making every moment enjoyable. They trusted we knew our guests and combined that with their experience, even learning new songs to add some Disney Moana magic and ensuring our first dance was perfectly personal. Most importantly they are excellent musicians who delivered exceptional performances. There is nothing they could’ve done to make our experience better. What's the lesson? What is the takeaway? Book The Manhattans for your wedding day!"

"We had a brilliant experience with The Manhattans from start to finish. Communication was great and proactive. They advised us really well about music choices and how to go about things and then did everything exactly as we'd asked them to. Everything went really smoothly on the night. Most importantly they played and sang brilliantly, played great music between their sets for us, and our guests all had a fabulous time on the dance floor. It was such a fun way to begin our married life. We can't recommend them highly enough!"

"Thank you so much - we absolutely loved it!!! You guys were amazing and we’ve never been to a wedding where everyone was on the dance floor all night - a testament to you guys! Thank you so much!"

"Great performance, very easy communication when arranging the booking, would highly recommend for any event!"

"We must say, every single guest came up to us to say how blown away they were by your performance! It was truly amazing. It made our day even more memorable. Thanks so much for DJing too! You were unbelievable all around."

"Hey!!! I just wanted to message to say thank you to everyone for yesterday! It was so amazing!!!! The perfect mix of songs, so fun, such a great vibe! We couldn’t have asked for anything more!!!!"

"Oh. My. Word. The Manhattans are incredible! We can’t express our gratitude enough for how they helped make our day truly special. Amazing musicians who brought the party in a big way - the dance floor stayed full all night. Absolutely brilliant to work with too. Can we do it again please?"

"Sam - thank you very much for an excellent show of musicianship, entertainment and warmth. The band were loved by everyone and we keep getting very good feedback! Apologies for not saying goodbye at the end - wanted to thank you in person. Thanks again, Hannah & Tony."

"The Manhattans were fantastic - an amazing cover for our first dance song and catered the set list perfectly to our preferences! All the guests commented how great they were throughout the night. Sam was super responsive the whole time leading up to the wedding & made it really easy planning everything. Would absolutely recommend The Manhattans - 10/10!"

"The Manhattans give you all the confidence you need that your guests will be on the dance floor from song one until the end of the event! Their song repertoire covers all tastes from pop to dance and you will find yourself singing along to all your favourites. Their covers are as authentic as you could wish for and at times you’ll think you’re listening to the original! Finally, The Manhattans are beautiful people who just want your guests to have the most memorable night ever. Totally and utterly recommend this band."

"The whole evening was amazing but was topped off by The Manhattans who were awesome! I have had so many lovely comments from people about how great they thought the band were from their music selection to the lead singer to the great atmosphere they created. I could not have been happier. I would recommend them and your service to anyone. If you’re looking for your dancefloor to be full you need to book them! They also sang our first dance song which was absolutely amazing and really made it special!"

"These guys were so organised, responsive and professional to deal with. Musically they are just fantastic but also just such a joy to have at our wedding! They also accommodated some of our more left-of-field requests which we were very grateful for! Would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Manhattans."

"Dear Sam and all, Just a note to thank you very much for making our wedding reception perfect, not least your rendition of our first dance. My only regret is that I didn’t video record you doing that number especially - it was amazing and so excellently performed. Hope all is well with you and that you enjoyed the day too. We know where to come for our next party music! All the best, Sally and Tom."

"Dear Sam, Just a quick email to say how fantastic you and the guys were at our wedding. Your voice is wonderful and the Joan Baez piece with your fabulous voice and the superb guitar picking of your colleague could not have been better! It was incredible! You should consider using that again - I know it is a bit sombre, but what a great way to move people! Just amazing! Thank you for making the day! Best wishes, Simon."

"The band were on point, great live music and really got the crowd on the dance floor for our wedding! Also enjoyed the DJ sets, which included a mix of our favourites provided and requests throughout the evening. Big thanks to Sam & team for a smashing wedding reception."

"We booked The Manhattans for our wedding last weekend, the 4-piece band with the additional saxophone. They did such an incredible job of getting everyone on the dance floor and it was full all night! We had so many compliments on how excellent they were and we’re so pleased we found them! In the lead up, Sam was really helpful and he helped us plan a great set list based on the guests we were having. They also performed our first dance song - I believe this was something they had to add to their repertoire and that was hugely appreciated. All in all, we would highly recommend The Manhattans and we are just so delighted with their performance. Thank you for making our wedding so special! Eleanor and Chris."

"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!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful time and wanted to say thank you to you and the band for being part of the day! The band were fantastic and everyone has commented on what an incredible party it was, then dance floor was not empty once! We loved all the song choices and thought they did a wonderful job with our first dance!"

"Hi Sam, You were absolutely amazing last Saturday!!! We could not have asked for anything better. Wow! Everybody clearly loved the Manhattans and it was amazing to see everybody up dancing. Thank you for all the special little touches as well like playing Hop Little Bunnies for our beautiful niece. Such an incredible evening. Thank you!!! And you are amazing. What a voice! Emma and Luke."

"Hi Sam & the whole band, thank you so much again. We have had so many people ask us already who our band was because of how fantastic you were!"

"Huge thanks to The Manhattans for making our party so fantastic!! We had a joint “70th” (my daughter's 21st and husband's 49th) with a huge range of ages - the dance floor was never empty!! Sam and the rest of the band were brilliant - true professionals. Great communication prior to the event everything couldn’t have gone better. Loads of guests commented on how fantastic they were. Would highly recommend to anyone!!"

"We had the Manhattans play at our daughter's wedding and they were just fabulous. From the seamless organisation to a dance floor packed all night. We have had soooo many people say how great the band were. Thank you so much for the perfect party end to our day."

"Morning Sam, It was a great night! Thanks again, everyone loved the band, dance floor was full!!"

"Amazing! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding at Hengrave Hall! The set list was fantastic, but also the performances by all the band members was top quality - especially Sam as lead singer, Cat as female lead vocal and the saxophone player (didn’t catch his name!). So many people at our wedding complimented us after and said how they were the best wedding band they’d ever seen! Special thanks to Sam for also letting me have a little sing on two songs - made my day even more special! And my wife loved it even more! Would highly recommend!"

"Hey Sam, You and the band were just epic! Music is such a big part of our lives and we always love to rock the dancefloor. We picked you guys because of your unique style and you did not disappoint! All of our guests have been raving about the band! Not only were the band amazing, the music afterwards kept everyone in the party spirit (it felt like the last 30mins were maybe 2mins long we were having so much fun!). Charlie and I are so happy that we got you to be part of our special day, bumping into you at Taste Festival must have been fate! Please also send us your address we'd like to send you something to say thank you. Thanks, Shane & Charlie."

"Sam and his band were a brilliant part of our wedding day, performing two excellent one hour sets with DJ sets either side. Communication in advance of the day was clear and helpful, with Sam even recording a demo of our first dance prior to booking! Highly recommended."

"Hi Sam, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding last weekend. The band were absolutely fantastic and the fact you had nearly all of the guests on the dance floor is testament to how brilliant you were and what a great party atmosphere you created. We have had so many compliments from guests on your performance so a huge thank you- you really made the evening. I could barely drag myself off the dance floor for 5 minutes to talk to people, the songs were all too good! Thank you also for being so easy to communicate with prior to the event. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and are so glad that we found you, now we just need to think of another excuse for a celebration so we can book you again! Thank you again, the band were fantastic and we are very grateful. Best wishes, Katharine."

"The Manhattans were incredible! Sam was so organised and helpful in the buildup and they were spectacular on the day itself. We would definitely recommend them."

"The Manhattans were absolutely brilliant and deserve all the praise from the other reviews. Before the wedding, Sam responded quickly to all of our questions. On the wedding day, our guests kept complimenting us on the choice of band - and it showed! They kept the dance floor alive for the entire night. We had the most amazing evening! Sytske and Antoine."

"Thank you to Sam & the whole band. We loved having them at our wedding in Bolton Abbey last Saturday. Not only was Sam super communicative and very organised ahead of the day but on the night itself brought great energy and TUNESSSS to keep the dance floor full all night. We had an epic wedding day so thank you Sam & team for everything! Xxxx Elly Sandberg."

"Hey Sam, So sorry we haven’t been in touch sooner, had a few (needed) days on the coast to recover. Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for everything last Saturday. We honestly felt the day went perfectly and so much was down to you guys. You definitely made our day!! The rock set at the end had me jumping up and down in my wedding dress (no easy feat!), loved it so much!! Hope you guys enjoyed the day too and I’ll definitely write over a review for you and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ll have a few of our friends making enquiries in the near future too! You definitely have a few new fans 😂 Hope to see you guys again and thank you SO much for everything!! Xxxx Paul & Charlotte."

"Thank you so much to all the band. You absolutely made our party, we have had so many lovely comments and lots of people wanting to know how we found you. Thank you also for your beautiful rendition of Izzy's song, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book you for our next party. Terrific on every level and a joy to work with. xxx"

"Hi Sam, Dan and I are just back from Greece and we spent the whole week talking about how much we enjoyed 6th May. This was largely down to you and your fantastic band. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed the music. The dancefloor was certainly packed all night!! Thank you for all the extra effort in getting the logistics sorted… the brainstorming, the dropping off and picking up, the extra travelling time and all the stress.. It was really appreciated and allowed for us to have the most perfect day, we will forever be thankful for this. All the best, Lucy and Dan."

"It was a great party, and the band were fantastic! Steve, your alternate male vocalist, got everyone up dancing from twenty-year-olds to early seventies with their walking canes! Great set list. Also, what a lovely bunch of people they are.
Communication with you prior to the event was responsive and informative, we had a lot to plan so thank you for making this booking with your band a seamless one! As you were to us, we will be recommending you to others!"

"Hi Sam, Just back to London today and have a serious case of post wedding blues before heading back to work tomorrow…A huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for what was an absolutely epic night. You all smashed it and kept the energy high throughout. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty and our guests were full of praise for you during the evening and ever since. Can we do it again?! Thanks again for making our day so special, and for being so communicative and prompt in the lead up. It really would not have been the same without you. All the best, Sam and Alex."

"Hey Sam, We're incredibly hungover today but I wanted to send you guys a message to thank you for an amazing time last night. You guys were AWESOME, it was a huge hit. We have an amazing video to send you that one of our friends took. We'll share it when we've recovered and can use our computers. Thanks again, Álvaro."

"Big thanks to The Manhattans 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."

"Hi Sam, Thanks for your email. You were amazing last week! The client was so happy, thankyou for listening to our requests and playing Mr Brightside & Valerie. Your pre event communication was fantastic, you were really quick to respond to any questions we had. I hope to work with you in the future! Kind Regards, Jessica."

"They were excellent. Really good at getting the room dancing and building the atmosphere. Also very friendly and easy to interact with before the party. Would definitely recommend to others."

"The Manhattans played for the evening at our wedding and were fantastic. We have had so many comments since from friends about how incredible they were. Sam was quick to respond to everything throughout the booking process, and the band were absolutely brilliant on the night. Our venue wasn’t the easiest to play at due to noise restrictions, but the band turned this into a game which everyone enjoyed! Thank you so much for such a great evening, and we can’t wait to find another event for you guys to play at! Thank you, Maddie."

"Sam! Lee and I want to say a HUGE thank you to you and your fantastic band for making our wedding day so great! You were so professional, but also so easy going and made all of the music for the day run seamlessly. We couldn’t have done it without you and can’t gush about it enough! From the ceremony music, to the acoustic duo and finally to the full band in the evening, you were faultless and our guests have been so complimentary. A thousand thank yous, Lee & Niki."

"Hi, The Manhattans were amazing! They really got the party started and had fun too! Our first dance song was also performed brilliantly. Would highly recommend. Thanks, Jen."

"Hi Sam and band, The dust has settled a bit and we wanted to reach out again to thank you for playing at our wedding. We can't thank you enough for being so accommodating with the music, and being there all day to entertain the guests. From everyone we've spoken to, they have all said how good the music was throughout the day! If there are any final things you need from us please do let us know, otherwise we hope to see you guys again at another event! Good luck and thank you again! Kris and Lorna."

"The Manhattans made our night! They were amazing and had such a great vibe. Everybody has commented on how good they were and I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends! Great range of music and also very easy to deal with throughout the whole wedding planning process."

"We had our wedding last weekend and the Manhattans were incredible! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and all the guests are still commenting on how amazing the band was. Such a great evening with great live music! Despite having them play all day (from the ceremony and drinks reception to the dance floor) the guys gave such amazing energy all day and made the day so special. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else thinking of booking them for their wedding or big event!"

"Thank you so much for The Manhattans role in helping to make our day amazing! Steve was so so so good as back up lead singer!! Loved the little extra details like his personalisation of the lyrics, it made it feel extra special for us and felt like the band had put real effort in to the day. Not to mention the whole band brought a great energy! We have had lots of comments from guests saying how good the band were! Thanks for being great at communicating in the lead up to the day, answering any questions we had promptly and had no problem attending a private venue in London. It mean’t we had no worries (which is so valuable!). So all in all, we can’t recommend The Manhattans enough. And also big thanks to Fix the music for being a great site! Keep up the great work, all the very best, Mark and Tamara."

"Hi Ed, Hope you're well. Please can you pass on a HUGE thank you to The Manhattans and especially to Sam for their part in our wedding. They were absolutely amazing and every guest has commented on just how brilliant they were. The band were so interactive and kept everyone up on the dancefloor all night, it was incredible, they created such a fun, party atmosphere and knew just which songs to play to keep the crowd going. Sam is just amazing, from playing the piano at the reception to DJing until 3am and then singing acoustics on Sunday - he was fantastic. We can't thank him enough. The music really made the wedding into such a memorable event for everyone and Tom and I are so grateful. Thanks again, Rebecca & Tom."

"We booked The Manhattans for our wedding celebration at Holkham Hall in Norfolk in July 2022. We had looked at various bands via video clips and repertoire lists, and what we saw from The Manhattans made us feel that we would be in good hands. As it turned out, we were in brilliant hands! These guys are sophisticated musicians with tremendous, international experience. From the moment that Sam replied to us, it was obvious that we were able to rely on him and his colleagues to take over. Sam was very efficient about connecting with us and making suggestions, clearly aware that the couple has plenty to juggle ahead of the day and, once we had chatted through a few ideas, he was away and on it. The way that the team arrived and set up was super professional, and the two sets that they played, with DJ interlude, were just fantastic! If you want a great sound, designed to get all on their feet, played by very cool musicians who are super people, look no further! Sam and The Manhattans made sure that we all had a superb evening and we have heard and read nothing but glowing compliments about them from all our guests since that evening! The Manhattans are a top class band and wonderful people, and the joy and quality with which they play is super contagious! Thank you so much, The Manhattans, for the very happy time that you gave us all! David and Sheryl."

"Just a quick one to say a massive thank you for last night. You were absolutely brilliant and went down very well with all of our guests. We couldn’t have hoped for more. It made our day even more special!"

"The band were absolutely amazing! They had our guests up and dancing until the last song and we’ve had so many compliments since. The saxophonist was a fabulous addition that our guests (and the bride and groom) also loved. Sam was great in helping in the run up to the day and performed a lovely version of our first dance song. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and we will definitely be looking to book again at another event in the future - we are already thinking about renewing our vows so we can have another party! Thank you SO much!"

"Hi Sam, Still clearing up from yesterday's madness! Thank you so much to Steve and the band for putting on such a great show. Everybody said how amazing they were and the dance floor was full all night. Thank you all so much! Please pass on our best wishes to the band, Charlotte and Luke."

"5*! This band made our wedding! From Sam leading a wedding entrance to remember, the acoustic trio to entertaining our guests for the drinks reception to keeping the dance floor packed right until the end! Couldn’t have asked for more! A pleasure to work with, flexible to match our music preferences and such talent that kept everyone on their feet all evening! Thank you so much!"

"We had the Manhattans for our wedding in May and wanted to share that they were everything we hoped for and more! You never really know when booking a band you have only listened to a few demos of, but from the get-go Sam and the team were responsive, professional and incredibly helpful. All of my suggestions and preferences were indulged and the balance of the acoustic set, main set and DJ service was spot on. From Bruce to Taylor Swift they nailed it! The dancefloor was always full and many of our guests have commented about the band and said how good they were. Couldn't recommend these guys enough."

"Hi Sam, I would just like to say thank you for Friday night and hope you all got home safely. I apologies for the stage size being wrong, im not sure what happened there but you made it work so thanks. Thank you for all the intro songs etc too. It was much appreciated. Take care & regards, Richard Newton."

"The Manhattans were amazing and were just perfect for my daughter’s wedding. Before the event Sam was amazing in listening to every request we made and responding quickly. Steve the sax player was great and added another dimension. Everyone loved them. If you want everyone on the dance floor having a great time - and those not on the dance floor also loving their music - then book The Manhattans."

"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."

"It was a great day and so many people said you guys were an important part of that. I will definitely recommend you if anybody is looking for a band in future. Take care, Christian."

"Jonathan and I just wanted to send a huge thank you for coming to play at our wedding!!!! Hands down the best event band I’ve ever seen, and all of our guests thought so too! That was the first thing everyone said to me was how amazing y’all were. We will definitely leave an online review when we get home from the honeymoon, but I just wanted to go ahead and send you a thank you note now. Y’all killed it!"

"We booked The Manhattans through you for our wedding. These guys were amazing. Everyone said how good they were and they put together an amazing set list that got everyone dancing all night. Highly recommend this band to anyone for any occasion. We also booked them as an acoustic set for our reception and that was great too. Just wanted to say a huge thanks! Mike & Sarah."

"Hi Sam, Sorry I’ve not been in touch, it’s been a bit crazy since the wedding. Thank you all so much the band was amazing, and the madness went down better than I imagined. Everyone said how good the guys were, and how much they enjoyed the band. I will definitely be recommending you guys! Many thanks, Hannah."

"The Manhattans absolutely made our wedding day and evening celebrations. Music was great, dance floor was full, and loads of our guests commented on how good the music was both from the band and their DJ set. Not to mention the improvised acoustic session in the afternoon when the power was in and out! Thanks guys, great memories made. Thanks, Joel."

"The Manhattans recently played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. From initial contact, through pandemic postponements and all the way to the big day, Sam was so friendly, accommodating and professional. On the day itself, the band had everyone up on their feet and we had so many positive comments from guests, with some even asking for their contact details so they can book them for their own event - which I think speaks for itself! We would not hesitate to book The Manhattans again and wish them all the best for the future. Kind regards, Caitlin."

"The Manhattans were fantastic at our wedding, they did both an acoustic set in the afternoon and a full band set in the evening. We went for three sets of 40 mins in the evening and it flowed perfectly. In the afternoon they created a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and in the evening they really got the party going! The dance floor was never empty, lots of dancing and lots of singing along from our guests! We loved it. Thank you so much to all of the boys. Thanks Sam! You guys were amazing and it was the best feeling dancing to a band after so long!!"

"The Manhattans were simply fantastic! Everyone commented on how good they were! Great repertoire full of dance floor fillers! Wouldn’t hesitate to book these boys again! 10/10."

"We would like to say a massive thank you to you guys as you were absolutely amazing. Everyone loved it and we couldn't have wished for more on our day! Thanks Sam."

"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Sam and The Manhattans. 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."

"Absolutely amazing band! No hassle and Sam the lead singer could not have been more accommodating! Made our party what it was with a great variety of music for everyone! Really glad we also got the female vocalist and sax player as they just completed the sound of the band!"

"Exceptional talent and the highlight of our event. We all highly recommend this amazing group and we are definitely booking them again."

"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 Manhattans 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."

"These guys are the real deal. I knew they'd be good but they exceeded my/our expectations (and I book plenty of music acts for events). Communication was prompt and easy right from the off. They showed up on time, were super nice guys, so professional, friendly and incredibly talented. Our guests loved every second of the performance and no one sat down throughout (we danced and sang along to every track). Slick, charismatic, tight and musically so on point. Lead singer has a great voice too. We wanted them to go on and on. I'd recommend them wholeheartedly and would book them again in a heartbeat. You won't be disappointed."

"It was AMAZING. Wanted and still will send you a thank you email. It was wonderful, Sam and the band were amazing! Super professional, amazing vibe, amazing talent!"

"Thank you!! You and the band were FANTASTIC - all we could have hoped for and more. I think a direct quote from a guest was “best wedding band I have ever seen, EVER!"

"Dear Sam, and the whole The Manhattans band. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an incredible evening on Friday. I honestly can’t put into words just how amazing you were, you literally made my evening. I have been to many 18ths, 21st and black tie events and enjoyed bands, but you surpassed them all. The playlist of songs was perfect, the music was outstanding, and your voice was simply phenomenal. Your energy and enthusiasm was unparalleled. We were thrilled with the saxophonist, and loved dancing with him on the dance floor. Everyone was dancing, and I genuinely had the best night of my life. I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. You guys have a big future ahead of you! All the guests were raving about you, and commented that you were exceptional. We’re already planning mum & dads 60th.... is it possible to book 5 years in advance?! I must see your calendar for upcoming gigs as I am desperate to come to any that are near us!! Thank you again for such an unforgettable evening. I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life. Please extend my thanks to the rest of the band."

"Sam and the Manhattans exceeded all our expectations and helped make our wedding day extra special! They were a dream to work with for our destination wedding in Greece. From our initial phone call and throughout the entire process leading up to the big day, they were super responsive, professional and helpful (and fun!). Sam’s voice is unparalleled and all the band members are very talented musicians and performers. We used them for an acoustic set during our ceremony, DJ services during cocktail hour, as MC throughout the evening, and then the 6-piece band for dancing. At our request, they learned several new songs ahead of time for our ceremony and first dances. Each part was executed perfectly and exactly as we imagined. They were incredible in terms of set lists and interacting with our friends and family. All our guests were up on their feet dancing the entire night! We had so many guests come up to us afterwards and ask how we were able to find such an incredible band. Also worth noting that we had some last minute timing changes due to weather and they were incredibly flexible and helpful! We wish we had some other big event to throw just so we could hire these guys again!"

"It was an amazing day. We've had so many compliments about how good you guys were, so thank you - you were awesome and our first dance was really special!! Our friends and family loved the dancing - I've never seen my Dad move like that! We'll be recommending you to all our friends."

"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 Manhattans 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 Manhattans 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 Manhattans 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 Manhattans 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 Manhattans!"

"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 Manhattans were fantastic and I would happily recommend them in the future."

"The Manhattans 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."

"Everyone said how good you guys were and asked for your details. Thank you for making our special day amazing."

"The Manhattans were incredible and I will most definitely be in touch regarding future events."
