About Me
Hi, I’m Bill Messinetti, founder of New York Orchestras Entertainment. I write most of the blogs and create podcasts for “Wedding Masters”. A quick about me; I started playing drums at age 10, joined my first wedding band when I was 15. Shortly after that I began singing and writing music. By the time I was 25 I was signed to Polygram Records as an artist and songwriter. In 1998, I created Central Park Orchestra and got back into performing at weddings. From there, we expanded into booking more bands, DJs, lighting, string quartets and small orchestras. Our company has become known for creating beautiful, fun events while taking the stress off of you.
Side project: Bill is also the driving force behind the band Island Head. Look for their album “Punky Reggae Party” on Spotify, Apple Music, and all streaming servies
