Johnny Herbert Music

5.0

Paramus, NJ
  • Ceremony only

A graduate from USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles, Johnny has studied and performed classical piano music for over 20 years. Since 2010, Johnny has provided music for more than 300 wedding ceremonies all over the country. With a set list of over 300 songs, Johnny can play and sing standards from Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and the Beatles. Adding live music will enhance and enliven your wedding ceremony, party or cocktail hour.

We hired Johnny to play during our Ceremony and for cocktail hour. It was one of the best decisions we made for the day. His music (ukulele and vocals) during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He was on the keys for cocktail hour and entertained with some classics and big-band music (e.g. Frank Sinatra). Hearing that my wife was a big Disney fan during our vows, Johnny switched to a Disney playlist halfway through cocktail hour and it was a HIT! The true sign of an top-notch musician is someone who can read the audience and adapt on the fly. Weeks later, our guests still rave about Johnny and tell us we should have hired him to play longer. (We agree!) Johnny was the ultimate professional throughout the entire process, from planning to the day of. He had a meeting with us to go over our music preferences and work through the flow of the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny for your special day - you'll be glad you do.

We were fortunate to hire DJ Taso for our engagement party and he did not disappoint. His years of experience was evident in the pre-party planning meetings we had as he was able to offer ideas/suggestions for things we never would have thought of on our own. He’s responsive, professional, and very thorough in his process. And of course the music was on POINT! We had an amazing time, largely in thanks to DJ Taso.

The Barnstorm

5.0

Maplewood, NJ
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $12,500

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

Awarded Best of Zola
I grew up with family members that DJ'd most of my family's weddings CA. But since I got married in PA they weren't really an option and to be honest I am glad they weren't. Stefan was incredibly professional, detailed, and fun to work with. He was so flexible with all the things we had going on. He helped me immensely to ensure that everything was timed well throughout the day. He was a perfect MC, had amazing sound equipment. And more importantly played DOPE A** music. My husband is a skater at heart and so he loves the classic early 2000 music like Mr. Brightside. So much so that he had a whole list of songs he wanted Stefan to play in a series. And Stefan DELIVERED. the entire crowd was pumped up by the songs and it made the whole night that much more amazing. When I say that DJ Stefan is worth every penny I mean it. EVERY PENNY. You will not be disappointed and neither would your guests. Worry free, awesome music, that's where it is at. Thank you Stefan!!!!!!

When we met Steve, he was very polite, friendly, and professional. He was excited to hear our story. He didn't try and upsell us to a package that didn’t work for our wedding. His website made choosing the songs easy and fun. Steve made our wedding perfect by keeping the party going; we were so pleased by his total package, including the music, photo booth, and emceeing the evening that made the day perfect.

Mushmouth

5.0

Cranford, NJ
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $5,500

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Over the last couple of years, my wife and I hired Mushmouth for our employee appreciation parties. They are extremely talented and know how to work a room. Their energy is infectious and ensures that all in attendance are on the dance floor. All dance moves are welcomed… We highly recommend Mushmouth and look forward to our next engagement. (My sister-in-law may be a Mushmouth stalker!)
