All of guest told us that our wedding was the best they have ever been to and it was because of the entertainment. We hired Victor Lessor to DJ, sing, and lay live sax. The crowd loved him! I have never seen my dad dance in 64 years and he tore up the dance floor that night. People were having so much fun we extended the wedding reception! Best night ever! Highly recommended!

Victor and Manhattan City music did a phenomenal job at our wedding! Not only is his band exceptionally talented, he is also a stand-up guy who went above and beyond to help my wife and I out when we were in a pinch (think Covid-related scheduling issues). We had a jazz trio for the cocktail hour, and then his band performed afterwards at our reception for 5 hours. To this day, we continue to hear comments from our friends and family telling us how amazing the band was, and that they want to keep them in mind for future events for their loved ones. I highly recommend Victor and Manhattan City music

Victor was superb from the beginning to the end. He was very flexible in meeting our needs. He is also extremely organized. I really liked his webpage where we can enter in all the information about our venue and choice of songs. I was surprised when he told us he can emcee , dj and play the saxophone, and he ended up doing all of this really well. It was a magical night and Victor played a large part in it. Will keep Victor in mind in the future for company and family events :)

Victor and his band were excellent! They sounded great and brought the perfect energy to our wedding. Victor was so lovely to work with and really made sure everything went according to the plan we had talked about, including a specific arrangement of a song for my parents to dance to. He even saved the day and took over managing the flow of the night when our wedding planner unexpectedly left early. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and we would highly recommend him and his band to anyone!

We don’t even know how to start thanking Manhattan City Music for everything they did for my wife and I on our wedding day! Our entire wedding guest list loved their music! We were very impressed with their wide range of songs. We wanted a more ‘classic’ feel to our wedding and we were able to enjoy music from Billy Joel, to Frank Sinatra, to Van Halen, to the Beatles, to solo saxophone and keyboard instrumental duets (my wife walked down the aisle to Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis instrumental).
Every musician in the band was just as talented as the next. They performed

Excellent choice for our wedding 🤩
Victor Lesser was the perfect fit for our beautiful wedding! His down to earth and charismatic personality radiated throughout the night making our reception lit with tons of energy, fun, endless dancing and happy memories! He serenaded my mom so beautifully😭 it warmed our hearts and made us cry. Hiring Victor for our wedding was a no brainer once we called him and realized how easy he made it for us to book his services. He provided an extremely useful music tool to choose appropriate songs for each event of the night and a cool state of the art photo

Manhattan City Music performed at our wedding in New Jersey. In a single word, they were "fantastic"! They are so energetic with a diverse group of musicians and vocalists. Their music selection ranged from traditional to classic oldies to current hits. They truly made our wedding a 'Day to Remember"

Victor Lesser and Manhattan City Music was a delight to use, very professional. From the first day planning the music part of the wedding, Victor made it easy and enjoyable, he's great to work with. Very reasonable for a Manhattan band and the musicians were excellent. Plays an large variety of music which was great. Vocalists were excellent as well, always dancing and having a great time and making it into a great party. Definitely would recommend!

If you are looking for your guests to tell you that your wedding was the best they have ever been to- hire Manhattan City Music. Victor and his team are fantastic! They read the vibe of the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor. They play beautiful background music during the courses and they never take a break. Yes you read that correctly, they take turns breaking, so if its the main course, there may be a lead singer and a keyboard player, while the others take a rest. I was married on 3.17.18 and I would HIGHLY recommend Manhattan City Music!!!

We hired Manhattan City Music for our NYC wedding in July and they were nothing short of magnificent. Victor was extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process and helped create a truly unique and tailored wedding experience. The entertainment was one of our top priorities and Manhattan City Music absolutely delivered. From the ceremony music to cocktail hour through the reception Victor and his team didn’t miss a beat. They played with amazing energy throughout the night and kept our guests dancing all night long. They played a great mix of new hits and classics that all of our
