Hedge Fund Celebrates at Cipriani
One of the world’s most successful hedge funds held their annual holiday/New Year’s celebration at the famed Cipriani 25 Broadway. Situated in front of the Wall Street “Charging Bull”, this is an incredible event space, as you can see in the photos below.
No expense was spared on the décor and sound system. The band, Central Park Orchestra, was amplified by an elaborate concert sound system with a 3-man sound crew. Even though the system could power a concert the volume was well under control. After dinner was done the event planner gave the band the go-ahead to crank up the dance set, and the band ROCKED!
There was a contemporary set filled with Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Shawn Mendes and Sia. There was also a Latin oriented set that included Camila Cabello’s Havanna, Mark Anthony, Tito Puente and Santana. But, it was the funk set that “tore the roof off” that included Kool & The Gang’s “Jungle Boogie”, “1999” and “Kiss” by Prince and Parliament Funkadelic’s “Give Up The Funk”.
At the end of the evening the event planner said; “I never saw this group dance as much as they did tonight”. “I’ll be in touch soon with next year’s date.”
Greenwich Country Club 125th Anniversary
“We had the great pleasure to engage “New York Orchestras” at the Greenwich Country Club for our recent Annual Gala and 125 year Anniversary Celebration. Amongst a rather large list of other potential performers, we decided to choose them, as their reputation was traveling ahead of them. We are happy to have done so. In short, “New York Orchestras” completely exceeded our highest expectations. High expectations in a way that we had to satisfy a rather diverse mix of guests that evening, differentiating in age, interest, taste and, yes, expectations on countless levels. “New York Orchestras” met all of them and we enjoyed exclusively positive feedback from our members.
Working with them was a smooth process and a pleasure from day number one. They were open for our input, eager to understand the synergy of the guest mix of the evening and flexible to accommodate everything that we were looking for. I always see a full dance floor as the best barometer to evaluate the quality of the band and we honestly had trouble to interrupt our members that night in order to get them back to their tables to enjoy the next course of the menu. That particular night was a very important undertaking for the Greenwich Country Club, as it also was the peak of a year long anniversary celebration of the club. “New York Orchestras” put the gold leaf around our member experience that night and I know as a fact that in the years to come, this evening will be talked about. We did the absolute right decision by hiring this fine group of musicians and I highly recommend them to everyone who is looking to truly impress their guests during an event in the future.”

Yacht Club Weddings
Central Park Orchestra performed at a wedding at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Marblehead, Ma. It was a beautiful setting with perfect weather for a wedding. The bride and her parents got to hear the band first hand at her brother’s wedding last year at the Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes, NJ. Here is what the bride’s mom had to say about the band in her review she posted on WeddingWire.com
“The Central Park Orchestra is absolutely the best ! I first heard them play at my son ‘ s wedding in New Jersey and immediately knew that part of the wedding‘s success was because of this band … I booked them for my daughters wedding in Massachusetts without hesitation. This group of musicians make a party, they are professional, very talented, and fun ! They rotate in and out for breaks (not that I noticed once that anyone was gone) so there is always music, great music, no down time, guests dancing all night. People are still talking about how unbelievably good they were!”
“Bill, the band leader, is easy to plan with, answers emails and calls promptly . I could not recommend them more highly. What a blast we had dancing all night!”

John said…The Wedding Rockin’ Legendary Family House Band – Central Park Orchestra!
Central Park Orchestra was absolutely incredible. Look no further. They were simply amazing! From our first meeting, Bill (Band Leader) wants to know you, and play for you! Their professionalism, talent, and song variety list was over the top. They far exceeded all our expectations and made the wedding the best night ever! Central Park Orchestra has a wide range of musicians and a very talented horn section. Special thank you to the vocals of Maverick and Emilie, Peter on the keys, Lou rockin’ the guitar, and my man Clark Gayton on trombone! Jessie and I were over the moon on your performance. Our guests were dancing the entire night, and won’t stop talking about how great you guys were. During the reception, I looked at my wife and said, “This is what heaven must be like, surrounded by the love of your family and friends, smiling, dancing, and having the best night of our lives.” Thank you Bill, from the bottom of our hearts…you rock brother! Absolutely incredible! Thank you! – John & Jess 05/12/2017

Andy said…
The band Central Park Orchestra was amazing! All of our guests raved about them after wedding. And to this day, we still receive compliments about them. They have an extensive list of songs that they can perform, spanning multiple eras and genres. Bill Messinetti, the leader of the band and our primary contact was extremely flexible and accommodating. We provided a play list of 100+ songs and lucky for us, the band already knew most of them. He was able to create a mix of songs for set based on our preferences and worked in our must play songs as well. We had everything from 70’s Motown, 80’s rock and pop, 90’s pop as well as more current top 40, hip hop and R&B. All the music flowed, similar to having a DJ during their sets. During the entire reception, a band member was always playing a song which was great. They also provided the ceremony music, playing our selected songs. Bill was helpful, providing suggestions and ideas for the ceremony music based on our tastes and playlist. And to our surprise, one of the band members played a song in Chinese (mandarin dialect) as well. This was really a nice touch. They worked well with our venue and other vendors. We didn’t have to worry about anything during the wedding. They also provided uplighting for the ballroom that really enhanced the ambiance and environment. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a band.

Live Wedding Band Reviews
5-Star review posted on WeddingWire.com
Robert said…I honestly don’t think I could praise Bill and the rest of the band enough as there wasn’t anything I would change at all. From the moment we spoke to Bill, every single detail, from song choice and set construction to flow of when speeches would occur was planned out perfectly leaving us with nothing to do other than dance the entire night. The professionalism, willingness to learn new songs, and whole demeanor from Bill and his team was on another level of service. If you want a band who can throw down and will make your wedding night memorable, look no further.

Wanchun said…This band is awesome! I was attracted by their voice when we attended a bridal show. My husband and I decided to choose them as our wedding band. Almost our guests are from China, honestly I was a little bit worried at the beginning. But it turns out that is really unnecessary. We worked with Bill. He is very nice and easy to work with. He provided us many good ideas and suggestions. And this band is very professional and considerable. They gave us a surprised Chinese song which we never imaged. Really appreciate they gave us that unforgettable night. Highly recommend.

Before we get to the WeddingWire.com reviews, here is a thank you note from the bride and groom we performed for 3 days ago at Oheka Castle on Long Island:
Hi Bill (and NY Orchestra),
Thank you so much for the awesome performance you guys gave on Saturday. Mike and I are both still getting compliments and high praise for both the music during cocktail hour, the reception, and the DJ. The smooth transition between everything was amazing we didn it even notice.
We also appreciate you letting those musically talented family members getting on stage and performing with you! We will have those memories forever thanks to you guys.
All the best,

Lauren said &We were recommended to Bill through a friend. From the minute we met him, we couldn’t be more impressed with his talent, enthusiasm and overall cool vibe! Bill made himself available to come to the venue prior to the wedding he went above and beyond! Central Park Orchestra was everything we could have imagined and more! If you are looking elsewhere, look no further. Thanks, Bill!

Stefanie said &They were just great! Working with Bill was a dream. He was responsive, learned the songs that we asked and even learned a song so my husband could sing with the band one night. They also were open to having my Uncle perform two songs that were very special to us. People LOVED the band and I got compliments on them long after the wedding. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!!!!!!

Stacey said &(the band) Central Park Orchestra and the quartet were off the charts at our wedding. It was non-stop music and everyone was on the dance floor. Not to mention they learned new songs for us AND were open to doing a custom mash-up for the father-daughter dance. I cannot recommend them enough. Bill makes the process super easy and thinks of everything for you- hugely helpful when you re planning your own wedding.

Meghan said &This was the easiest decision to make since my husband had worked at Oheka Castle and heard them play many times. They also played for a friend of ours wedding and based on those recommendations we didn’t look any further and booked. I can’t tell you how easy it was and how many people gave us compliments on them. They played during cocktail hour and at the reception and they were flawless, we were dancing the entire night and they can play pretty much anything. Even our wedding song which I was nervous would sound different, they nailed it. Highly recommend just let them do their thing and make sure you add in the sax.

Michele said &Central Park Orchestra was an amazing asset to our wedding day! We had seen them at my cousin’s wedding 8 years ago and had to have them as well! They were wonderful to work with from beginning to end and were so helpful in choosing the right songs for the ceremony and reception. They even learned about 4 new songs just for our wedding! I couldn’t have asked for a better band! Thank you, Bill for answering all of my questions so quickly and for making our special day so wonderful!

St. Jude Fundraiser at Oheka Castle
New York Orchestras Entertainment had the pleasure of presenting the incredible Central Park Orchestra at Oheka Castle this past Saturday evening. The 350 plus crowd were extremely generous and giving to the fundraiser.
The event was hosted by Oheka owner Gary Melius and the Melius family along with “Gold Coast Cares” for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. When you hear the stories told by the parents of the patients at St. Jude you realize this has to be a favorite charity to give to.
It was truly our honor to help out! Please give if you are able.
