“Manhattan were amazing totally professional brilliant singers and backing music. Would not hesitate to recommend them to everybody.”
Nancy, Private Party, Everton Football Club
“We booked Manhattan for our wedding and we could not have been happier with the result. The band were brilliant and even better than their videos. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the booking process - with a special mention to the band who was so laid back and easy to work with. We thoroughly recommend Manhattan and so do our guests!”
Bobby & Julia, Wedding, Leeds
“We booked the band for the evening reception of our wedding, and they really made the night! They were absolutely brilliant and we've had lots of queries about them from guests wanting to book them for future events. After only seeing them online and not being able to see them live, we took a bit of a gamble but it definitely paid off! We didn't have much communication before the event, so I think it would have been helpful to have contact a bit sooner just to put our minds at rest, but regardless, they were great on the night and we would definitely recommend!”
Christian Griffiths, Wedding, Manchester Hall
“Manhattan played our wedding and, quite honestly, they were one of the biggest highlights of our day! The band were absolutely incredible - dealt with our very lairy bunch fantastically and were just sensational. Truly cannot thank Manhattan enough for how amazing they were and for making our day so much better. They even learnt our first dance song which wasn't in their repertoire. Highly recommend!!”
Kris & Holly, Wedding, Willington Lodge, Shropshire

“Manhattan were fantastic at our wedding - really charismatic on stage and it looked like they were having a lot of fun, as were we and our guests! We had lots of compliments from our guests throughout the night about how amazing the band were. We loved the music, style and wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Manhattan. Thanks for making the evening of our wedding so much fun.”

“Manhattan were absolutely fantastic - we’re so happy that we booked them for our wedding. They were a pleasure to deal with & everything ran smoothly. Our guests had a wonderful time & I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
Hayley & Dan, Wedding, Northern Monk Brewery in Leeds
“Amazing mix of songs and they absolutely nailed them all! We had SUCH a good party and there really was something for everyone. Great band - you can't go wrong with Manhattan if you're thinking of having a party!”
Harry & Abi, Wedding, Leeds
“Manhattan were absolutely incredible. The perfect band for our wedding! You're always a bit nervous that, only having heard a few demo tracks online before you book an act, they might not be what you want, but Manhattan were everything we could have hoped for and more! Would totally recommend adding the extra vocals and jazz duo to the usual set up, as we did. Gave them even more depth and complexity of sound! So many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding to say how great the music was.”
Adam & Amy, Wedding, Brinkburn Priory in Northumberland
“Fabulous party band! We will definitely use them again in the future. Many thanks!”
Debs, Private Party, Cheshire

Leanne, NHS Annual Party, Warrington, Lancashire
“Manhattan's Motown music is second to none, couldn't have been happier with all their music on Thursday night. Fantastic! Couple of more modern ones thrown in their too that were equally as good. Thanks so much!”
Jack, Private Event, Leeds
“Very happy! Great vocals. Everybody commented on the great atmosphere they provided.”
SJ, Wedding, Warwickshire
“Utterly amazing! Really made the night and people kept coming up to me asking me how I managed to find these guys. Loads of energy, people were bouncing around the dance floor like lunatics, it was like being at a gig! They were really good fun too while being professional and taking on board what was asked of them - I just can't recommend them enough, words don't do them justice!”
Liam, Wedding, Manchester
“Manhattan were great. We had the 9 piece band with 2 x 60 min sets followed by 1 hour DJ service for our wedding. Sam spoke to us beforehand to get an idea of the type of music we wanted and then delivered a fantastic set. The dance floor was full throughout the evening. Really impressive! Thank you very much!”
Toby & Beverley, Wedding at Rise Hall, Yorkshire
“We have been to a number of weddings and birthday celebrations with a live band but we can honestly say none have been as good as this! We were all treated to your wonderful mix and flavours of music so irresistibly hip-gyrating and toe-tapping. Personally, I cannot recall an event where there were always people on the dance floor. You had something for everyone.”
Kate W., Wedding, Manchester
“These guys are fantastic. We booked them for our wedding and pretty much all the guests have commented on how good they were. Couldn't have asked for more from them. They didn't disappoint in any way. Loved them!”
Sandra, Wedding, Manchester
“Both Grahame and I really enjoyed you guys and feel you made the night - as did the guests who have said so on more than one occasion.”

“We loved the Manhattan promo video when we found it and kept watching it so seeing it in real life at our wedding was almost like having celebrities play at the wedding! And they were so good - even better than the video I reckon!”

James and Michelle, Wedding, Northampton
“Thanks guys for the fabulous sets last night at our wedding. Everyone commented on how great you were. Thanks again. Finished off a fabulous day!”
Richard, Wedding, Manchester
“Just want to say a massive thank you for all you did to make our wedding day extra special. The professionalism of the band was amazing from start to finish. We had looked at a few wedding bands in the run up to the wedding and I can safely say you smashed them out of the park. People are still talking about 'that band' so extra thanks there! Also a special thank you to you for taking on our request for our first dance song and executing it perfectly! I think the Script would have been proud! All the best for the future and again THANK YOU!”
Faye, Wedding, Yorkshire
“With vocals that manage to tingle the hairs on the back of your neck and excellent musicianship, Manhattan don't fail to impress. From the uplifting groovy tunes to the atmospheric ambient sounds at the other, Manhattan manage to leave a lasting impression. With their own unique takes on classics such as Oasis' 'Wonderwall' to James Brown's 'Get Up', it is clear to see the sheer talent this band possess. Manhattan is definitely a crowd pleaser and an excellently put together band. I highly recommend this band to anybody who enjoys real, pure talent as well as being able to dance the night away.”
Sarah, Wedding, Leeds
“The perfect musical recommendation for our day - thank you! They were on time and set up quickly and put on a brilliant couple of sets for our guests. We just wish it could've gone on longer so we could have danced more!”
Jonny & Emma, Wedding, Leeds
“Perfect fit for our soul and Motown night, Manhattan were excellent!”
Kit, Private Event, Leeds
“I book bands every Friday night and had the privilege of booking this band for a gig at our local public house. The band exceeded all our expectations and in my opinion were one of the best bands we have had. They are talented musicians in their own right but together something very special happens. The night was a complete success and I had many people congratulating me on booking the band and how much they are looking forward to them returning. I booked the band again immediately the following morning, which is something I don't ordinarily do. The band did amazing covers of well loved songs and at one point it seemed like the whole pub was up singing and dancing! As well as the fabulous music the band bring such a great vibe with them. It is without hesitation that I would wholeheartedly recommend this band and if I were having a private party of any description it would be this band I would book.”
Nicola, Pub event, Bradford
“Manhattan band were FANTASTIC! From start to finish they were amazing and the crowd loved them. Sam was very easy to get on with and welcomed all of our requests and changed the routine to suit what was required, can't recommend them enough!”
Callum, Wedding at The Villa in Preston
“Such a soulful sound - and very funky! All our guests had a great time and even the grannies were loving it! High praise for Manhattan! “
Jasmine, Wedding, Leeds
“We loved Manhattan. They played a background set during desserts and coffees and then turned up the tempo for the rest of the night, everyone was up dancing and the band were really interactive!”
Claire, Corporate Event, Sheffield
“If you enjoy live music Manhattan is a must! The band is fantastic and they are all highly talented musicians who put their hearts and soul into it. A pleasure to watch and listen to, watch out for the amazing reggae version of Valerie!”
Nadine, Private Party, Bradford
“Thanks again for performing at our wedding! I'm so happy we managed to get you guys-we really couldn't have asked for a better band and one more perfect for us! Please thank the rest of the band, you guys made our night. We had the most amazing wedding and couldn't have hoped for a better end to the day! Everyone was asking who you were and where we found you. One friend said that when you started singing our first dance, she had to do a double take as she thought we'd actually brought John Legend in! I hope you go from strength to strength and we won't hesitate to recommend you and if we have another celebration. You'll be the only band we call on! Thanks again and best wishes.”
Carol, Wedding, Cumbria
“Just wanted to say now we're settling down after our honeymoon and the mayhem that we were delighted with you and the group at our wedding. All the guests thought you were all brilliant and the way you get the crowd motivated was fantastic. Keep up the energy and stay cool, unlike my dancing.....”
James, Wedding, Staffordshire

Andrew, Private Party, Leeds
“Manhattan were fantastic! Their promo video says a lot but they're even better live. Would recommend them in a heartbeat!”
Jack & Chloe, Wedding, Leeds
“The band excellently entertained and were highly professional and incredibly versatile. They played at our daughter's wedding: firstly a set of acoustic jazz (no vocals) during the reception drinks as a background, and in the evening they really got the party started. They played for the newly married couple's first dance and then went for it, starting with James Brown's 'I Feel Good', and later, their version of Daft Punk 'Get Lucky' was completely brilliant. They got everyone up dancing straight away (not that they needed much encouragement to be fair) and the floor was full right up to the end when we didn't want them to stop playing! The band members were lovely - they arrived punctually, were polite and attentive and willingly complied with the venue's requests in relation to decibel level and finishing time. We could not have wished for a better band to play on a very special day in all our lives. We would give them the highest recommendation and send them all our warmest thanks.”
Amanda, Wedding, Suffolk
“Just want to thank you guys for a FABULOUS!!! night last Friday. Loved your selection of songs from Luther Vandross to rocking it to Kings of Leon. So looking forward to seeing you again to dance the night away.”
Caroline, Private Party, Bradford
“Thank you for an amazing night on Friday! Such an unexpected night with a wide selection of songs, loved them all especially Never Too Much Luther Vandross, had us dancing all night!”
