“BAND DJ COMBINATION” -BY STAN WIEST WEDDING PLANNER MEMBER ASSOCIATION OF BRIDAL CONSULTANTS

 With the growing diversity required by brides and grooms a new trend is developing in wedding reception music. The emergence of the Band And Dj Orchestra Combination on Long Island and in the New York area.

Many brides and grooms and their families seek the elegance and excitement of a live band. The wide appeal of the current club music also bring in the desire to hear the original artists. Rather than settling for one aspect (Band or DJ) brides and grooms are now looking at the BAND DJ Orchestra Combination.

Prior problems with having a Band and a separate DJ is that twice as much space is required. Also two completely different sound systems. The new BAND DJ ORCHESTRA combination has the DJ set up within the band – at NO EXTRA COST to the client.

A bride and groom can have the very latest music on the radio for their wedding (music that was just released that week) and still have the elegance and excitement of a live band performing for their wedding. This is also becoming a tremendous factor in mediating the differences in opinions between brides and grooms as well as between the future couples and their in-laws.

This now allows a bride and groom to stay within their music budget by contracting a 5, 6 or 7 piece band with the DJ set up included. The bride and groom can make up a list of every song to be played with the DJ set up.

Parents who want a band are now more willing to help out with the costs of the music. This now enables everyone attending the wedding to say “My kind of music was performed” regardless of the age group.  No age group is excluded and it guaranteed a packed dance floor.

Catering establishments love the idea since it is not taking up any extra space designated to the performing area. Wedding planners and consultants love the idea because it gives them a tremendous flexibility in their proposals to clients.  Everyone comes out a winner with this new trend.

One extremely importation additional benefit is that there is non stop music for the entire reception. No breaks. Guests can always be dancing when ever they want.
This is a superb idea for buffet receptions, tent weddings as well as traditional sit down wedding receptions.

Clients love the idea because it eliminates the complaint of “the music is taking a break”

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.

MILLERIDGE COTTAGE -STAN WIEST BAND DJ ORCHESTRA COMBINATION REVIEW ON “THE KNOT”

Steven Mccory 

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!

STAN WIEST DJ AND LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT WEDDING REVIEWS ON  “THE  KNOT”

THE KNOT AWARD TO STAN WIEST

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.

  

Read several glowing testimonials from clients regarding the STAN WIEST BAND ORCHESTRA:

Hi Stan, I hope all is well. I wanted to share this picture with you from our wedding! The music was amazing and the night was definitely everything we dreamed it would be. I can’t thank you enough for all your advice. Danielle & Mike

 

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 KI 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. We were so happy with everything and were extremely pleased with the florist you recommended.

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 minutes late, we would have no funny stories to tell our children.

Thank you again for making our wedding an unforgettably special day.

Sincerly Yours, Cynthis & Phil Regan

Stan and his band were absolutely amazing! Stan has been an absolute pleasure from day one to work with!! He has gone out of his way to make my day exactly what I wanted. I can not recommend him enough! Deborah Walsh

 

Dear Stan,In all my years of going to weddings I have never seen such a performance as the one you displayed. Now being the bride at my own wedding I truly want to thank your entire band for giving us that personal touch, with added sophistication, ambiance and elegance. In the planning process we spoke of how we wanted the wedding to go. And it was 100% as you had explained it would be. From beginning to end everyone had a fabulous time. I absolutely loved that you were able to play the Titanic theme song in the temple – it really made my day. My husband and I hardly took our seats the entire evening.

Not a worry, care, or complaint in the world popped into our heads. We were dancing the night away enjoying being Mr. & Mrs. Lawrence for the first time of our lives!!! You had everything under control and played to the very last minute. In the end we found ourselves dancing a half hour to you alone. That really meant a lot to us. Bravo for the incredible performance.

You made my wedding most memorable and I will always look back at my special day with a tear in my eye. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the wedding – Your music remains and will always be brilliant. Sincerely,Mr. & Mrs. Seth Lawrence

Hello Stan,

I am glad you liked the picture you also came out great in it. Thank you much for all your help. Our wedding was a success because of you. I can never thank you enough for all your help it is been over a year and I am still get congratulations on it. The entire guest where flabbergasted at such of wonderful affair and they gave us great complements for the selection of orchestra and the mariachis.Thank you so much.  Norma and Ben Aquilina

Dear Stan,

Esther and I are sending this letter to thank you and let you know how thrilled we were at the way you and your orchestra performed at our daughter, Holly, and our son-in-law, Bill Hub’s wedding at Flowerfield.Our choice of an orchestra couldn’t have been more perfect. It was everything, and more, than you promised and what we expected.The musical selections were ideal and it certainly went a long way in creating such a festive atmosphere at the reception. Our guests were constantly up and dancing.I can’t tell you how many of our guests called us following the reception to compliment us about the wedding.

Without fail, all of them took the time to specifically include comments about how much they thought of you and your orchestra.Everyone raved about the piano music during the cocktail hour as well as the music that lent so much dignity to the ceremony.We intend to convey our thoughts to the management of Flowerfield and encourage them to seriously consider recommending you highly to others planning a reception there.A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event that should be the most special day in the lives of the bride and groom. You certainly played a key role in helping to achieve that for Holly and Bill.  Sincerely,Esther and David Kamlet

Hi Stan,

We just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how fantastic your band was at our September 26th wedding. Everyone was commenting on you guys! The Greek music, Italian music and dance music were wonderful, as we had a full dance floor all evening! We keep on receiving compliments from everyone on the music…..thank you so much for making our wedding day even more special!

We will definitely recommend your services to our families and friends and if we ever need another band, we know exactly who to call! It was truly the best day of our lives! Thanks Again,  Electra & Nicholas Jacobs

Dear Stan,

Thank you one again for your performance at our wedding. Both Patty and I were pleased with everything. In fact, Patty noted that during the cake cutting you played our ” song’ (Bryan Adams) For us, you were the perfect band to play at our wedding.You played everything patty wanted and what we did not want. I know you took breaks, but I don’t remember them, it seemed like you played live continuously. You certainly played to the type of audience we had.Patty liked the disco you did. We also like the ceremony and cocktail hour music.My family friend’s wedding is coming up.

I don’t know what he’s doing regarding a band but I am very close to Gene and certainly I will put in the “good” word for you. He is very nice man and I hope you get the job if you are available.Any time you need a reference, feel free, to give out my number. I’m available. When Patty get’s a chance she will be posting a review on LI weddings, and we share our feeling with others.Take care, wish you the best, and maybe with some good timing we will see you.

Hello Stan,

We are still reveling in the enjoyment of the wedding which is attributed mainly to the fantastic performance of you and your band. The cocktail hour was enormously pleasurable as you are a talented pianist. And, the dancing between courses was a huge success. It is our pleasure to write our comments to you, and, to have us for a referral for others who wish to contract your services. You and your band performed brilliantly.Thank you! Justine and Travis knew quality when they first heard you! YOU and YOUR BAND are terrific!   Sincerely,Jennifer and George San Filippo

A wedding should be Elegant, Sophisticated and Flexible to change. It is the bride and groom’s day. The bride should never settle for anything less than total satisfaction. Every aspect should be completed according to her wishes.   In reality, problems can arise during any affair. Our goal is to solve and take control of all situations. The bride and her guests should never be aware of any difficulties. They are there to enjoy that special moment of a lifetime

.

At the end of every wedding reception every age group should be able to say “the bandPlayed my kind of music” and the bride should say “I had a great time and worried about nothing but enjoying myself” 

The success of a wedding is in direct proportion to the amount of preparationAnd care taken by the bride and groom and Stan Wiest – as well as the availability of Stan Wiest, his suggestions, planning and assistance whenever needed by the bride and groom.

 No additional surprises or hidden fees.
