Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 2, 2025•From Bedford, NY
We honestly cannot put into word how incredibly happy we were with Peter and his band. They exceeded our expectations on every level. We had planned on having a trio for the ceremony and the cocktail hour … however… they were beyond amazing and we asked them to stay for the entire reception! We had the most memorable wedding and Peter and the band are a very big part of why it was so great!

Thank you for the kind words and your generosity! I always strive to go above and beyond and I'm glad that we were able to learn that special song for your parents and play for dinner and dancing later in the evening. All the best! Peter

My experience with Peter and the Master Keys was excellent! Peter’s communication with me leading up to my event was stellar and on the day was very efficient and timely. The music was great and guests enjoyed very much. They perfectly created an atmosphere that fit my vision and it was a pleasure to include them on this day.

Peter and his team of incredible musicians set the tone/foundation for our evening. In addition to being an accomplished musician and crooner, Peter is also a pleasure to work with – he was always timely and responsive to us and worked with us on what we should play for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He is open to suggestions – his team played a rocking Hora to incorporate my Jewish heritage and was enthusiastic in speaking with my fiancé about songs he really wanted to hear on our special day. When Peter and team were playing their final set, they brought the house down - the saxophonist, even slid across the floor to play in front of my husband!

Thank you, Lisa! It was a real honor to play for you and create a fun and warm vibe for your families. I'm so glad we got your guests up and dancing- it really fills me with joy to see the evening end on a high note like that! All the best! Peter

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 9, 2018•From New York City, NY
Good music makes the difference between a normal wedding and an unforgettable wedding. From our first conversation to the last note that the band played, they were truly unforgettable. The first time we talked, Peter told me that his goal was to get everyone dancing, from the youngest to the oldest. All I can say is that all of my nephews spent the entire night on the floor and the grandmother of the bride got up to share a special moment dancing with her grand-daughter. They were nothing short of outstanding, and I can't speak highly enough about them. If you want a group that is talented, easy to work with, and care about their client, then look no further!

Thank you for the kind words, Mark. It was such a joy to play for all of you and I’m also glad that you asked me to learn “Sea Cruise”. I’ll keep that in the book!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 25, 2017•From Skippack, PA
Peter, along with all the incredible musicians in the band were amazing in every aspect. Before the wedding Peter and I worked through a variety of details and music ideas to create the night we imagined. With complete professionalism, they were on time, set up quick and each band member we met was truly a joy and excited to be there. This came through in the music. Once the party started we danced all night. I had a steady stream of people telling me how incredible the band is and asking ,"where did you find these guys?" Barb and I had an amazing time and Peter and the band felt like friends that night. and their cool factor is 100. Your new fans. Barb and Alan

Honestly can't say enough about how great these guys are. Peter Maness was super professional and easy to deal with and found the whole band to be extremely talented and very friendly :) most importantly for us though, they really played fun and energetic show that had all our guests up and dancing immediately. Everyone had a blast and are still telling me how much they enjoyed our band. Our wedding music was really important to us so I'm happy to say that these guys knocked it out of the park. Thanks a ton!!

Thank you! You and your friends really know how to have a good time. We felt inspired!

Private Party•Reviewed on September 22, 2017•From Brooklyn, NY
We booked Peter and the Master Keys to play at our beer hall Sunday afternoon wedding. The process from beginning to end was wonderful. All throughout Peter made an effort to be as accommodating as possible to all our requests and answer our many questions. On the day of the event they were very professional, arrived on time, dressed for the occasion, and ensured a great sound balance. The performance was amazing, our guests continue raving about the great music. The music set included low-key pieces for cocktail hour and continued with an upbeat set which got everyone dancing. We are so happy to have had them at our event, they were just fantastic.

Thank you, Carmel!
It was our pleasure to play for you. All the best!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 2, 2017•From West Orange, NJ
Peter and the Masterkeys was an unbelievable hit. The Jazz style Blues was so well done. The musicianship of each player was spot on. We all felt like we went to a private concert and were all VIP’s. Peter was professional, on time, worked with the crowd and was easy to work with. I would recommend him for any affair. Our guest loved him and all were tapping feet and dancing all night long. I am so happy I found Pete on Gigmasters. He was even better in person than seen in his videos. I hope to use him again next year for the same event. No one will be disappointed! What a great find!

Peter and the band were the 3rd act for my husbands 60th birthday party and they were brilliant. They came in and claimed the stage and brought the party fun up several notches. They are a talented group of musicians and super stylish performers. I would have them back anytime and recommend them 100%. Our friends and family are still talking about the event.

Thanks, Angela! We had a great time playing for your family and my band was in high spirits all night. Thanks for your hospitality and the delicious BBQ! Peter

Fundraiser•Reviewed on June 24, 2016•From New York City, NY
I give The Master Keys five stars for a superb performance that well exceeded my admittedly high expectations. This band is one of incredibly professional, experienced musicians. I personally loved their blend of jazz and blues, which was a lot of fun to groove and to dance to, but was also at times very soulful and moving. They were a great hit with my guests, who danced the evening away to their music. And they were very professional - arrived on time, ready to play (and all looking very good, I have to note), and their bandleader Peter was a breeze to communicate with. I will, without hesitation, hire this band again for future events. I highly recommend them!

We thoroughly enjoyed playing for the yacht party! Looking forward to next time.

Peter and the Master Keys did a fantastic job at our Christmas party! I will definitely be calling them again to play at our next event. Everybody absolutely loved them and were complimenting me on my choice of band and music all night. These guys are the real deal - they seem to swing from jazz to blues and soul effortlessly (throwing a few fun holiday classics in there as well) and made our guests sway and dance all through the party. Afterwards the band got invited to play at a few more Christmas parties... and I understand why. They're a hit! Great singing, great playing, great vibe, professional and classy. Highly recommended.
