Paris NY - the best band there is

Paris New York was literally the best part of our wedding. Throughout the booking process, we were able to communicate very easily with Mike (band manager) and Allison (lead singer). We exchanged many emails, and they took my calls graciously. During the planning, we were able to select song from a list provided by the band - our selections served both as the list of songs that we wanted to hear, but it also served as a guide for the band of what type of songs to play (we wanted to keep the energy high and everyone dancing). In addition, the band actually learned our first dance song as well as the parent dance songs.

On the day of our wedding, the band provided some background music for our cocktail hour which was PERFECT for the setting. Then, when the festivities began and the entrance songs were playing, I knew right away by the sound that we had made the right choice - the music was ELECTRIC. Our wedding party all walked in to our respective songs and they sounded EXACTLY like the originals...we were blown away. Once we completed our walk-in, our first dance song was played - Millionaire by Chris Stapleton. As soon as the first guitar riff was played, I teared up from the joy of the moment and how good the song sounded. My wife and I were on cloud nine...(I didn't know we invited Chris Stapleton to our wedding!).

Paris then proceeded to play unbelievable renditions of songs that catered to every age range of the audience (something my wife and I talked about with the band when planning). They played songs that ranged from great disco-era, to Latin, to Frank Sinatra, to rock and roll, to country music, to early 00's (Blink 182!!), etc etc. The list could go on... Whenever a dance set was set to be had, the dance floor was literally packed to the point where people were dancing off the side of the dance floor - it was literally over flowing!! People NEVER sat down, and that was our biggest wish. People who don't normally dance, actually were dancing (including my 90+ year old grand parents!). Paris NY completely delivered and shattered all expectations.

At the end of the night and throughout the next day, our guests kept coming up to us to tell us how amazing the band was. The theme was common - Paris NY was the best band that they ever heard. My wife and I agree - it was 100% the highlight of our wedding (aside from getting married!).

Do yourself a favor and book them ASAP.

Thank you so much, Paris NY. You all were phenomenal.

Highly recommend

We cannot say enough positive things about Paris NY! Such an incredibly talented band. They played our wedding this past weekend and completely rocked the night away. Our dance floor was packed as soon as they came on until the very last song. I cannot tell you how many people have said they completely made our wedding and were one of the best bands they’ve ever heard.
They were professional and the easiest vendor we worked with from start to finish. Would recommend them to Anyone!

Spectacular!

Paris NY is absolutely amazing in every single way. After searching for a wedding band and looking online at hundreds of videos, I knew from the moment I saw Paris NY's video that they were right for us. No one, NO ONE! compares to Paris NY. Michael, Allison and the entire Paris NY band are exceptionally talented and professional. The music did not stop playing from the moment the ballroom doors were opened, to the last second. Our wedding was full of high energy, enthusiasm, great music and a packed dance floor. I cannot thank Michael, Allison and the Paris NY band enough for an absolutely spectacular wedding experience!!
