Stan is the most talented musician I have ever met. I choose unknown songs for my ceremony- and Stan learned the music and played the songs beautifully. Hearing him play was a highlight for me and all my guests. I highly recommend Stan – you won’t find a nicer more talented piano player. Also- his dj dennis was amazing. A great pair. Loved them both.

Hi Stan,
I was so busy the day of the wedding that I don’t think I ever had the opportunity to thank you and tell you how absolutely thrilled we were with your rendition of the ceremony piece and your performance. You are a gentleman, and the definition of a true professional, not to mention a BRILLIANT musician.I also wanted to let you know that I noticed that during the cocktail hour, as Steven walked near the piano, you played the piece. Loved that!.
Please stay in touch and let us know about your performance schedule and CD releases.

Stan-
Thank you so much for doing all you have to make our day so special. The music is what makes a wedding a happy time that everyone enjoys. Thanks to you and your band our wedding was amazing. The planning process was easiest I could have imagined. Thank you again,

Stan,
when you plan your wedding day, moments are forever and attention to detail makes the difference. We could not have been more pleased with the performance of the Stan Wiest Chamber Ensemble. The performers were so professional, the sound of the music exceptional, even down to the coordination with our soloist.
We have spoken to many of our guests who attended and they were totalloy in awe. We have been told that the music brought many to tears. It completely encaptured the spirit of our love.
Words cannot fully express our gratitude to you and the efforts of the players. After months of planning, our day finally came, Thanks to you and the Stan Wiest Chamber Ensemble, our day was perfect. We could not have hoped for more.
JoAnna and Adrienne

Dear Stan,
We would like to THANK you and your band for a performance well done. You were so very helpful to us before the wedding. I remember when you said, “Anything you ask, before you even ask, the answer is yes.” I wanted to plan my wedding myself and at times I felt a little overwhelmed but with your help I got it all done and I didn’t really need a wedding planner. Your experience and professionalism helped to guide us through it all. You really lightened the load for us; from our music choices to guiding us to the many vendors you had seen firsthand.

Even when we threw you a few last minute curve balls with the Intros, nobody could tell it wasn’t planned all along. You played everything we asked for and everybody danced throughout the evening.All night long the volume was just right. I can’t imagine what it would have been without you. If it wasn’t for my Rolls Royce Limo getting a flat on the way to the church, causing me to be 45 minuts late, we would have no funny stories to tell our children.
Thank you again for making our wedding an unforgettably special day!
Cynthia and Phil
Leonards of Great Neck NY

Dear Stan,

I want to thank you for a spectacular job entertaining our guests at what was the most wonderful day. Our guests are still talking about it almost a year later. Having an at home wedding has many challenges and it is extremely important to work with the right vendors to make sure everything runs smoothly. It was our pleasure to work with you. You were crystal clear on space and electrical needs so we were well prepared the day of the wedding. I really appreciate you coming on site to go through it all with us.

You on keyboard during the cocktail hour was perfect. You are a gifted musician and we really loved the range of music you played. Ali and Tom had some very different types of song requests and you were able to accommodate them all.

Then came the rest of the evening and the dance floor was packed the entire time. Your band was extremely professional and talented. They endured a pretty hot and sticky night in July without and complaints and I barely remember them taking a break.

I wasn’t sure with the type of casual wedding atmosphere of food stations, and many tents spread all throughout my yard, if people would be dancing as much as a typcal wedding venue. We trusted you to play the appropriate music for all our guests and you didn’t disappoint. Everyone had a wonderful time and danced the night away. We even had to request that you stay longer because no one wanted to stop. I am sure if my neighbors wouldn’t of minded we could of gone on a few hours more!

I have recommended you to several friends. I only have wonderful things to say. I could go on and on but mostly I just want to say THANKS!
Warm Regards,
Lynn Zawie (mother of the bride)

“The music was amazing and the night was definitely everything we dreamed it would be. I can’t thank you enough for your advice”
Danielle & Mike Bourne Mansion Oakdale NY

Dear Stan,
Thank you for performing the music and entertainment at my June 9 wedding. As you can imagine, for Gabi and I the way was over in a flash. With having so much to do, it was great having a professional team taking care of all the details. Overall, we could not have been more pleased. Everything went well and all our guests enjoyed themselves.

In particular, we and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music. Given the challenge of satisfying our mixture of American and German guests, you found the perfect blend of music to keep everyone involved and participating. Guests, regardless of whether they were American or German, young or old, all felt that the music represented their tastes. We received many compliments on the music. A job well done!

We would without doubt consider you again for any appropriate occasion. Please also extend our thanks to the other members of your band.
Very Truly Yours,
Bill Beisenauer Three Village Inn, Stony Brook NY

STAN WIEST DJ MUSIC WEDDING REVIEWS ON  “THE  KNOT”

Posted by Gary M

I can’t say enough good things about Stan Wiest. A consummate professional and all around great person to work with. Anytime we had questions about anything, he got back to us in a timely manner and always worked with us to make sure we were happy. His musical skill is top notch as well, and he knew exactly the right things to play to make our wedding a special day. You can’t go wrong with Stan – Stan’s the man!

Posted by Kim M

We were so lucky to have Stan as the pianist at our wedding! His excellency shone through at our very intimate, Christmastime event. Can’t recommend his live jazz work enough. He was truly a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. My mother even called him the star of the show lol!

 

Posted  by Allyssa L

We were honored that Stan Wiest was able to be our pianist at our wedding. From start to finish his playing was magical. All of our guests ranted and raved about how professional and enchanting the music was. Stan exceeded our expectations and we would choose him time and time again. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas Wedding filled with music that only a talented pianist such as Stan could pull off. If you’re looking for a pianist for your wedding or big event, Stan is the man! Thanks again!

Posted by Jon F

We were lucky enough to book Stan Wiest as the piano player at our intimate COVID-era wedding reception, and his music single-handedly (double?) elevated the ambience to match the sense of celebration of a large, more formal wedding. Stan is a gentleman, a consummate professional, and, most importantly, an extremely talented solo pianist (for those who know the reference, think Carmen Cavallaro in musical style and dexterity). Stan played enjoyable classics and all our songs requests seamlessly from cocktail hour through to cake cutting with just a few short breaks. As a testament to his musical prowess, we requested the showstopper “Bumble Boogie” as the last song, and Stan performed it flawlessly after hours of playing. It was a privilege to have a musician of his caliber at our event, which makes it easy for us to recommend Stan Wiest to anyone looking to make their night “unforgettable.” A class act! You will not find better.

Stan is the man! Very professional and responsive. He greatly contributed to our wonderful wedding day.

Stan arranged the music for my daughter’s wedding and my wife and I could not be happier with all that he provided. He, himself played piano during the cocktail hour and provide a string quartet for the church. The musicians and DJ for the affair were outstanding. Stan is a very professional and all around great person to work with…. No regrets.. The Best.. Great value for the money..

From our first contact to the end of the festivities, we couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our wedding than Stan. He was able to satisfy our desire for traditional music for the ceremony and upbeat dance music afterwards. In addition, he acted as MC and helped the event flow smoothly. Stan is definitely the whole package

Stan was an absolute delight. He took the time to learn 2 songs for our wedding ceremony and really knocked it out of the park. The ceremony wouldn’t have been as beautiful without Stan’s personal touch.

Excellent experience using Stan. Starting with the reasonable price, the flexibility and attention to detail. They deliver what they promise and more… last minute I requested Science themed backgrounds for the green screen… the ones I provided were not compatible so they worked diligently to customize them and somehow made it work and did not charge me for the extra work. A pleasure to work with… accommodating and I highly recommend them.

Working with Stan was the easiest and best decision we made while planning our wedding. Stan is very professional and easy to work with. His knowledge of not only music for ceremony and reception but also of wedding planning in general is unmatched. He has been in this business for a long time and it shows in the connections he has made and the service he is able to provide. For our wedding, Stan provided us with the most beautiful string quartet for our ceremony, the most amazing DJ and percussionist for our reception and he himself played piano at our cocktail hour. Not only was Stan the most professional and accessible out of all our our wedding vendors, he truly tries to connect with his brides on a more personal level and you don’t feel like just another client which is so important. Stan caters to the specifics of what you want for your wedding which was so important to us and he was able to deliver a truly unique musical selection to our preferences. We cannot say enough amazing things about Stan and hands down choosing him as your music vendor will be the best decision you make during the wedding planning process. Thank you Stan, for all you do and for making our wedding unforgettable!

Stan Wiest and his crew were excellent during our wedding. They made the process very laid back and we didn’t have to intervene at all. Also, huge props to Stan for learning a few Final Fantasy songs to play during the pre-ceremony. The songs I selected were also fairly difficult but he was able to handle task with ease. What a great musician! DJ and photo booth that were provided were also top notch! They made sure that everyone was dancing and there was no lull during the event. All things considered, Angela and I are extremely pleased with Stan Wiest Music and recommend him and his team to anyone looking for DJ/Music/Entertainment for the event.

Stan and DJ Ralph did a magnificent job performing at our wedding this past weekend. We could not have been happier. Stan is an amazing piano/keyboardist and the ceremony and cocktail music was so beautiful and romantic. He played all of our favorite songs. DJ Ralph was so much fun and everyone was tearing it up on the dance floor. All of my guest commented how much fun they had. Stan and Ralph were dressed to the nines. They were professional and receptive to our ideas and requests. We were so happy with our decision to use them at our wedding. Thank you Stan and Ralph xoxox Karen & John McHugh

Stan Wiest is awesome. He is such a friendly, down to earth guy. He’s quirky in a good way. He was very professional, accommodating, and most of all, talented. Stan and DJ Mike brought an energy and a sophistication to my wedding that exceeded my expectations. My wife Jillian and I were very happy. Plus, he lived around the corner from us so that was a big help too. DJ Mike played all the songs we requested and even sprinkled in some songs of his own choosing that fit our tastes and mood. DJ Mike knew I was an 80’s rock fan so he brought Jillian and me out to the dance floor and had everyone circle around us. It was really quiet since this was the beginning of the wedding. DJ Mike said we looked like a fun party couple and then he played “Any Way You Want It” by Journey. I started to dance and lip sync and everybody went nuts. It was funny and cool and unexpected. My wife thought I knew about it but I had no idea. Stan Wiest is great. I highly recommend them.

Stan did a phenomenal job ensuring the music selection for my wedding was executed as requested from myself and my beautiful wife. Stan played the piano during ceremony, cocktail hour and played all requests made during cocktail hour. The ceremony music was perfect as my wife walked down the isle to “Holy” by Florida Georgia line. Stan acted as the director for the band/DJ combination we had during the reception which was a wonderful balance between the two, honestly we couldn’t tell during some moments what song the band was playing and what song the DJ music was playing, Stan and the band were in fact that good! Lastly Stan’s attitude was wonderful and he was a pleasure to work with even with a change of venue 90 days away from the event and offered insight and solutions to help get us right on track! Stan Wiest Music IS the way to go and we will be going directly to Stan for any future music needs. Stan, thank you one last time from Myself & Carla!

“It is as beautiful of piano playing as one would ever want to hear. It’s absolutely delicious. It’s gorgeous.  Wonderful renditions of these songs. Each and every one a classic song. And you do a beautiful job, a masterful job on them. I want to compliment you on absolutely marvelous piano playing. A great great keepsake album. It  simply could not have been better. It really is a group of brilliantly played selections. It’s as good as it gets. And you have every right to be proud of it.”

Piano virtuoso Stan Wiest offers “Music You Will Love –Volume One:  Music To Drive By” – draws from the Great American Songbook and beyond; Wiest’s wonderful technique and flair for interpretation are front-and-center. A generous 17 tracks of solo piano and it lives up to its title.”

 

“Stan Wiest has the perfect touch for the American Songbook. You can recognize the melody because he cares about the composers. A delightful CD, one you’ll listen to many times. You’re a delightful guest. You have something to say and you say it in a most interesting way.”

John Bohannon  WRHU

 

“Move over Clayderman…there’s a new kid  at the 88’s who not only tickles the ivories, but gives us 17 tracks of pure AMERICAN SONGBOOK pleasure. That “new kid” is Stan Wiest, a  piano wizard. Stan’s “MUSIC TO DRIVE BY” is  “pure piano”. My radio show audience love’s Stan!  I can’t wait for Volume 2″
