Paul and the band are premier entertainment in the Capital District. We chose them for our wedding after seeing them perform several shows around the area. They are well versed in all of the components that go into your big day and that relieves a lot of stress. The only only time the dance floor was empty was when we were eating. Every member of the band is extremely talented, from the bass and drums as the foundation, the tasty licks and riffs from the guitar and the incredible vocals. Their versatility impressed everyone at our wedding and cannot express how grateful we are for putting on a spectacular show. I will be recommending Grand Central Station to anyone who is looking for entertainment for their wedding.

Thank you guys!

You Need Grand Central Station!

We could not recommend Grand Central Station more for your wedding. Paul was great in helping us with picking out songs leading up to the wedding and he captured our song list perfectly. Once they started playing, the dance floor was packed the whole time. They made sure to play a variety of genres and songs that everyone could sing along to. After the wedding, everyone commented on how great the band was and how much fun they had. We wish we could have kept the partying going all night! You won't be disappointed if you book this band!
