Jerry Kravat Music

You couldn't ask for more, Manhattan Rhythm Machine were absolutely fantastic. The arrangements and vocals were off the charts. Their attention to detail and ability (and desire) to accommodate special request was amazing. We knew they were a great band but perhaps the most impressive and lasting memory of having them was the interest and sincerity they exhibited in making the event the special day that we will surely remember. I just can't say enough about how happy we are that we booked them.

We hired the NY dream band! They were OFF THE HOOK! Everyone loved them... they set up were professional and fun from the first note... This band listened to us about what to play and what not to play... they were fluid, read the crowd and were SOO FAR FROM CHEESY! So much better than their video even!!! If you want people to dance and have your people hear some great music Hire these guys, then invite us!...

These people were wonderful to deal with - from first phone call until the last dance. Easy, professional and fun ! Oh - also =- everyone danced all night long!

We used Tribeca Rhythm for our wedding and every person in attendance was just floored by their energy and vocals. We had a large party - about 200 people - and everyone was dancing the entire night. Diane and Richard both brought so much soul and spirit to their songs... we could not have asked for a better band. When anyone brings up our wedding, the first thing they mention is how Tribeca Rhythm just rocked the party all night! Friends have already booked them for their own weddings they were so good. We were so very happy with Tribeca Rhythm and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone. They interacted with the crowd, were a good value, and Richard and Diane rocked our party until the last minute. The band was a pleasure to work with, start to finish.

Jon Simpson from Jerry Kravat came highly recommended to us for our October 2011 wedding in Greenwich, and I must say that he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He went out of his way to make us feel so comfortable and assured us we would have a fantastic night......and he definitely came through! We were more than happy with our choice of using Rhythm Jam for our wedding. From start to finish, the flow of the evening was just perfect. All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. I would HIGHLY recommend Rhythm Jam.....the band made our wedding a night we will never forget.

This is the third wedding that the Jerry Kravat’s team has performed for a family wedding. Being the last girl in the family, we called Jon Simpson two days after getting engaged and before finding a location to make sure he was available for us. If you want the very best, you won’t get better than them! They are the BEST of the BEST. Our wedding was rocking all night long, and that’s all thanks to Jon and his crew. From the photographer to the videographer to the Stamford Yacht Club ( our venue) they all said they have never been to a wedding where the entire wedding was on the dance floor, right after the first dance! My venue called me two weeks after the wedding stating “ It was the best they ever had at SYC.” We danced so much, my husband and I forgot to cut the cake..opps! Not only is Jerry Kravat’s a dynamite group of performers, but they run a great/ trust worthy business. As an event planner and someone who frequents one too many weddings a year, I have yet to find a band as talented as this group. Jon and group… we love you guys and thank you again, for making our wedding everything we had hoped for and more! Perfect way to send the last daughter off!!! Much love, The Orsini/ Mulhearn Crew

We had a great experience using John and the Manhattan Rhythm Machine Band. The band was enthusiastic and easy to work with. They have a great presence and know exactly the right songs to play to keep the crowd energetic and dancing. The crowd danced for the entire night. You will not be disappointed!

Manhattan Rhythm Machine played at our wedding weeks ago and guests are still talking about how much they loved the music and entertainment. The musicianship, awareness of the crowd and timing in terms of which songs to play at each moment of the party were excellent. The setup and logistics were seamless. It was as if the music just appeared out of nowhere and the party just came alive. Wedding parties are always memorable events, but this band really made our party unique and the guests had a great time. To top it off, my dad played two songs (drums) with the band and they totally rocked the party.

My husband and I booked Tribeca Rhythm for our wedding on 18th August 2011. Suzanne and Richard had the guests moving all night long and even got up to dance with my husband's very shy niece. The music was definitely the one thing we didn't have to stress about, Suzanne was great to work with and understood the vibe that we wanted for the day. There was music for all ages and everyone told us how much they loved the band. Thank you so much for making our day a success!! Shanon & Eric

People are still talking about the band from our wedding, Manhattan Rhythm Machine. Even guests who work in the music industry were impressed. They played the perfect mix of what we'd requested and more that matched our tastes. Ours was a cocktail-buffet wedding at a small venue in Manhattan; we were concerned about the size of the dance floor, how many pieces would sound best in the space, etc. One of the band organizers actually went to the venue weeks before the wedding to check it out. The band was fun, so talented, professional, responsive to the crowd - they absolutely made our...

Having a great band was very important in our wedding planning. Manhattan Rhythm Machine exceeded our expectations! Our guests and us thought the band totally rocked. Sign them...you'll be happy!

We used Tribeca Rhythm at our Nov 13 wedding and could not have been happier. The band is so talented and kept the party going all night long. All of our guests commented on how amazing the band was and we could not agree more. In addition to talent of the band, was also the fact that Jerry Kravat was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They made the planning stress free. We could not recommend them enough!

My Wife and I had Tribeca Rhythm play our wedding on October 17th. I cannot say enough good things about this band. They had an amazingly diverse set list so for whatever occassion, they have the right songs to play. They kept the party from start to finish. I was even lucky enough to jam with them for 2 songs at the end of the night. Seriously, for the price this band charges, they are an absolute steal. They will work with you in any way to make your event wonderful. WIth all the other things we had to stay on top of for your wedding, the music was the one thing we didn't have to worry about. Anyone who throws a party knows, the music is the most important part for your guests to have a good time! Thanks guys for making our wedding fantastic. Sincerely, Rob and Whitney Volpe

Jerry Kravat Music was great! The strolling violinist was a great hit at the cocktail reception and DJ Bert! was the perfect choice for our reception. He was great to work with and was willing to really put effort into making our reception memorable. We couldn't ask for a better company to work with. Jon was very helpful in the initial meeting, showing us our options with clips from different bands and DJs and working to provide us with the perfect package. The strolling violinist was simple to organize. DJ Bert! made the music planning simple as well. We met a number of times with Bert prior to the event to go over the logistics and our requests. Bert actually took the time to reconfirm all our selections prior to the wedding. He even got copies of songs by specific artists (Can't Help Falling in Love with You by Bocelli rather than Elvis). Bert did a great job at the reception and really helped to get everyone on the dance floor and celebrating our wedding. We would certainly use Jerry Kravat again and recommend them to our friends.

We booked their band called Tribeca Rhythm and were beyond thrilled with their performance. They got people from all backgrounds and ages dancing and happy, and by the end of the night even the staff couldn't hold back and all the bartenders and waiters were dancing too! A friend is now using them at their wedding--book them quick! You will NOT be disappointed!

This band MADE the night! We had an older and smaller crowd, and a bunch of people that promise they "don't dance". Red Hot Rhythym had EVERYONE off their seats the entire night. The lead singer came out onto the dance floor and pulled people into the fun- everyone is STILL talking about our band even 4 months later. Thank you so much Red Hot Rhythym!!!!

Tribeca Rhythm was such an integral part of our wedding! They kept the dance floor absolutely packed and played such a great mix of old, new, fast, slow - they really listened to what we talked about and requested before the wedding. THANK YOU!

We had Rhythm Jam play at our wedding and they were amazing! They played an eclectic mix of funk, rock, and standards. They interacted with the crowd and looked like they were having a great time with up there on stage. Our friends are still raving about the band three weeks after our wedding!

AMAZING! We worked with Jon have our dream wedding, which needed a perfect blend of American (motown, Frank Sinatra, modern, Italian, ect) and Polish music. We booked Red Hot Rhythm and members Polski Rhythm and they worked perfectly together. We requested to have our wedding party walk into the intro of enter sandman, we walked into kick start my heart...they whipped it up only a few days before the wedding with out a problem. They were nothing short of perfect and a complete joy to work with. There wasn't a guest that didn't dance all night. I highly recommend them! The price will be different for different bands and because we booked two and added the lighting...so I estimated what a basic package would be. They also played during the cocktail hour and the music did not stop one throughout the reception.

SO amazing!!!!!! Over and over and over again, my friends told me after the wedding the most memorable thing was the music. I think it's fair to say (and maybe I'm a bit biased as it was my wedding, but I'm also a musician and know good music) that it was the most kick-ass wedding band ever. They played every song I wanted, nothing that I didn't, and got everyone up and moving. I have recommended them to everyone!
