Barbara E. Klein at Omnipop Talent Group

to perform at our wedding. There really isn’t enough space to describe how happy we were with our music choice and how easy Barbara made everything. Our friends and family won’t stop talking about how great The Zoo was! They have our full support and recommendation for anyone considering hiring them for an event.

nswered promptly and easily! We had a tent wedding so we had some unique needs, all was handled. Can’t say enough great stuff about this group and their bands-will use them again for future parties!

w. Randy and Ginger tore the house down. I wish we could do it all over again. We love you guys!!!!! Thank you again! Chris & Amanda

made our wedding so much fun.

though, was the energy and excitement they played with. It kept people up dancing all night and made the party unforgettable. Some of our guests are still raving about how much fun they had. We can’t thank them enough for putting the exclamation point on such an incredible night.

sic during the dinner and then knew exactly when to ramp it up to transition it into a party. Their ability to play so many different genres and read the crowd quite literally made our wedding one of the best nights of our lives. I can’t thank you and them enough!!

d going from start to finish.

es in the area, especially if you want everyone dancing.

cating with us and making us feel comfortable leading up to our big day. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music was all amazing! No one sat down all night as we danced the night away! The band even offered to learn the song we wanted our first dance to, no questions asked! We are still getting compliments from our guests about how great the band was! With how stressful wedding planning is, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with a company and band who was so responsive and really cared about making us happy on our big day!

r all night. We were so happy they played every song we requested and even learned our wedding song. Thank you Barbara and Peat Moss and the Fertilizers for a perfect wedding!

songs people in their 20s and 70s would all enjoy. Barbara Klein was great to work with, and always friendly and professional. You won’t regret choosing them for your wedding!

d an incredible job with our first dance song, that at one point my mom thought they weren’t playing since it sounded exactly like the recording. The dance floor was packed and barely anyone was sitting for more than dinner, and a few minutes for dessert. When the curfew set in and they were no longer allowed to play, no one was leaving and everyone offered to pay whatever the fine was if they would play another song! Some friends asked the band for a set list and gave it to us to keep as a memento the next day (highly recommend). We didn’t want the night to end but we’re lucky to have so many amazing memories. We really don’t have enough nice things to say. The band couldn’t have been better! Barbara was a pleasure to work and speak with during the planning process. She was always happy to answer questions and is a true professional. She answers honestly and won't lead you astray.

they didn’t know. Everyone was up dancing. They kept the party alive and going all the way to the end!

he years. I'm picky about my music and the musicians themselves. Radio Riot exceeded my expectations at every turn. Barbara and Frog were so warm, flexible, and easy to work with that there were no worries about logistics, setup or anything. They communicated well with our venue staff and problem-solved so that my wonderful bride and I could have a clear head leading up to and on the big day. THEIR SET WAS AMAZING. I still have people, 6 months later, raving about the music at our wedding. They honored most of our requests leading up to the big day and read the room to keep the party alive and well all night. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

bout them. We will continue to go to there shows on long island and hope we can see them soon! They have a place in our hearts, can not wait to get the video and listen to it all over again! Thank you Omnipop talent group! Couldn’t have asked for more!

ntimental but right in that sweet spot you want for such an important day. As Godfather of the bride, I so wanted the very best for her, and they really delivered. The dance floor was packed for every note of every tune. I emphatically recommend them. Did I say they were good?

orn. My 93 year old grandfather who can barely walk anymore was dancing and spinning me around for at least 30 minutes. I really can’t any other band being able to do that. Some direct quotes from my guests include “we looked up our contract with our wedding band to see if we can cancel and book these guys” and “this was genuinely the best band I’ve seen and most fun I’ve had at a wedding.” Secondly , they are so reasonably priced. Third of all, they really do care about their clients and their passion for what they do is obvious. Bryan (one of the lead singers) would answer my texts in literally 2 minutes max. He put my mind at ease assured me everything would go well (and it did). They played every song I asked for. Such genuinely nice people. Highly highly recommend.

father daughter dance song as the songs were not on their song list. It meant so much to us. They exceeded our expectations and guests are still raving about how fantastic they were!

hoose from, and were able to tailor their set list to our wants. The band was a huge hit at our wedding. We had tons of guests talking about them the night of, and days and weeks after. Thanks, Barbara! I can't say enough good things about your or Pete Moss.

him. They went so above and beyond expectations. Barbara was great to work with and made the entire process smooth and stress free. The band was incredible. We had over 200 people at our wedding, and tables were empty the entire night because no one stopped dancing. They ran our wedding with professionalism such professionalism, and we had so much fun. Last minute (ten days before) I had an issue with a separate ceremony musician we had planned on, and Peat Moss's keyboard player stepped in without hesitation. A month later, and still all I hear about is how great the band was!

ceremony and cocktail hour... he played beautifully! We requested that the band learn two songs for us that were meaningful for our event. They did a fantastic job! Everybody danced for the whole time... the dance floor was never anything less than mobbed! I recommend Peat Moss and the Fertilizers to anyone who would like to have an upbeat band who plays every genre of music out there! They're so friendly, and flexible, and they helped to make the night.

g and dancing for the entire night with upbeat, dance party favorites. I had such a blast and didn't sit down once, nor did my guests. It was a pleasure working with Paul. He answered all my questions and made the entire process to easy and fun. The 10 piece band was absolutely amazing. Melissa and Kevin have beautiful voices and can sing anything. They made my wedding and I can't thank the East Coast Band enough. Highly highly recommend.

An amazing variety of songs to keep every age group energized and dancing. We basically didn't eat anything during the reception because we didn't want to leave the dance floor. We added the female singer and brass which made such a huge difference. It elevated their performance to an even higher level. Even with that, the price for them was so much better than other bands we were checking out on the Island. The sound quality was amazing, renditions of our favorite songs spot on, and the band was just fun. Peat Moss made our wedding the most fun one that either of us have ever been to.

hey were and also that "i kept looking up thinking it was the DJ playing and it was the band, they were amazing". They kept the dance party going without a lull and transitioned through songs so seemlessly that people never had a chance to sit down! Mark was a great classy MC and did so without being cheesy like many wedding DJs can be. Not only that, but they were super accommodating and flexible the entire way. Thanks for making our wedding awesome!

wedding commented on how the band did such a great job of keeping the party going and the mix of songs they played were great! I highly recommend this band to anyone who is looking to make their wedding reception a day that you will never forget!

y were incredibly nice to anyone that had a request, checked with us multiple times, and overall made the entire wedding a blast. The fact that my father-in-law took off his tie and swung it around like a lasso, and my mother-in-law danced to songs that I didn't even think she would dance to, says something about their performance. Honestly, we have people telling us it's the best wedding they've ever been to, asked where we found the band, told us they were worth every penny, and we couldn't agree more. They MADE the wedding as fun as it was and we are so incredibly grateful for their time and energy that night. Any couple is lucky to have them play at their wedding. They were a blast as well as professional! Thank you to Barbara as well for coordinating everything for the band!!! Absolutely wonderful.

was the dance floor empty. They definitely made our day everything we hoped for.

nality so they can really do anything that you can imagine and they also perform like you wouldn't believe (guitar solos, dancing with the crowd, etc). I personally also really appreciated their flexibility. Our wedding was a bit unusual in that it was a cocktail style party for the entire night, so we had less breaks for the band than are usual but they were super accommodating of that and our generally more complicated schedule. They also learned several new songs that we were hoping to have played (including so that my cousin could sing with them for a song) and were great at picking up on the vibe of what the crowd wanted as the night progressed. If you want a fun band that has a go-with-the-flow attitude and will have even your non-dancing guests dancing all night, Radio Riot is your band!

dditionally, when needed to MC things during the night (intro's, first dance announcements, etc.), it doesn't sound like the traditional corny DJ who is trying to hijack the evening. Couldn't have asked for more as far as learning our songs on point and playing a lot of what we expressed we liked, while also getting the crowd involved.

y. Love, love LOVE these guys!

. We can't say enough positive remarks about Radio Riot. Thanks for an unforgettable evening!

ards was impossible. We are a very musical family and knew a live band was the best option for us. Their talent is undeniable. At a mixed culture wedding to have everyone from the kids to the grandparents dancing all night is an impressive accomplishment! They also allowed my father to perform our wedding song with them. I strongly recommend them.

was phenomenal is an understatement. Our guests continuously came up to us with compliments about the band. We loved Peat Moss and the Fertilizers energy and professionalism. They truly made our wedding unforgettable.

tire night. Our guests are still raving about how good Peat Moss was. Thank you Barbara for all your help along the way!

nything better. We had so much fun! Book these guys, you will not be disappointed. Thanks so much!!!

The entire process was stress free- Barabara was extremely easy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend!

t of our special day. Gina and Hunter made our dances with our parents something we will never forget. Phil, Gina, Hunter, Chris and the rest of the band are so talented, fun-loving, and extremely professional. We are so happy we added a sax player to the group as well. It brought a special element to the night. Our guests cannot stop raving about how wonderful Hi Def was. Everyone keeps telling us they felt like they were part of a concert with the band coming out onto the dance floor and partying with us. The dance floor was packed all night! Our venue Westbury Manor also had nothing but praise for Hi Def and how wonderful they were to work with. Barbara their manager was also such a pleasure to work with. If any questions arose Barbara promptly responded. Hi Def honored all of our special requests and we had no problem giving them free reign. They also worked well with one of our groomsman who wrote the music and lyrics for our first dance. Every day we talk about the wedding and remember what fun we all had!! Thank you so much for making our wedding special and one party we will never forget!! Reviews from Family/Friends: "You are all superb musicians. Thank you for a memorable evening." "The SECOND best decision this couple made was hiring your band to play at their reception! You cats are TIGHT! "I spoke to a few of the members of this band, Hi Def. What an incredibly talented, well rounded, and seemingly effortless cohesive sound, I've not heard in quite some time. Hi Def, all the way!!!" "Thank you Hi Def for making our wedding truly "Epic!!!" The dance floor was packed all night and you guys sounded awesome and rocked it. All of our guests keep raving about you guys and that Conga Line was insane!! Hope we weren't too crazy for you as we killed it during "SHOUT" and slid and dove across the dance floor! It truly was a magical and fun night. Keep on Rockin!!! It is an honor to know you guys and any event you play at is lucky to have you!! We love Hi Def!!! Love, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall

Barbara was always a pleasure to work with.. so helpful and easy to speak to. Thank you, Barbara! We did some non-traditional entrances into the reception hall, and I was able to speak with Greg from the band ahead of time to make sure everything would be perfect... and it was. Gosh I don't even know how I can write just how wonderful they were. I've always enjoyed seeing them play at bars.. and I knew I wanted them at my wedding - long before I was engaged. In fact, I booked them before I booked my venue. Their price is very reasonable compared to other bands and worth every penny. I've been receiving texts all day about how amazing the band was. These guys are so talented and the dance floor wasn't never empty. Even during dinner I just wanted to get up and dance. I am so thrilled with our easy decision to have Peat Moss and the Fertilizers at our wedding. I never had a doubt that they would be amazing - and they more than exceeded our expectations. Thank you so so so much for making our night the best ever. Love, Erica & Brandon 3-3-17

ryone going and we are extremely happy that we went with them!

music prior to the wedding. They don't speak on the mic unless you specifically ask, which was important to us. We asked that they were suits, which they did and they looked dashing. Peat Moss and the Fertilizers were a referral and when we inquired about them to Omnipop, Barbara forwarded us allot of videos of them preforming at various locations. You really can't find too much of them online but you will not be disappointed if you book them!!! Also worth noting is that our venue coordinator and all our other venders said they were the nicest guys and were extremely professional. That meant allot to us. Corey & Irene Pugliese

, personable and professional. They know the right songs to play to keep the crowd going. i would highly recommend them for anyone looking to kick their wedding into overdrive.

elp the bridal party with a song. Steve the band leader was great and we had a total blast. We have been going to see this band for years and they 100% delivered. Barbara, their manager, was wonderful as well. She was quick to answer questions and made sure the guys had everything they needed to make our day wonderful.

The happiness The Touch exuded turned the reception into a true celebration. And if your concern is the lack of a female singer, with The Touch, it isn't even necessary. The lead and backing vocals are so on point - even with female fronted songs - that it doesn't even make a difference. So, The Touch gets a 10/10 but Barbara at Omnipop gets an 11/10 because she was absolutely wonderful to work with, with no pressure or hassling. She helped us every step of the way, and truly cared about our wedding and well-being. If we had to do it all over again, this is still the way we would do it.

ors we booked because we had to have them as our wedding entertainment. These guys are professional and extremely talented and can play anything requested very well. We could not have been happier with this band selection. Guests are still talking about the quality of the songs and how they kept the dance floor busy the entire evening at our wedding. My brother is getting married next summer and he has already booked The Touch. We highly recommend them.

y wedding band! This band kills it and Barbara is a dream to work with. Thank you Pete Moss for 3 very memorable weddings!

wedding we had to go through Barbara Klein. What an amazing woman. She's sweet, professional, and quick to respond if you need her in a pinch. For a bride, she made me feel comfortable and we shared many conversations that were just pleasant. I cannot recommend The Zoo and Barbara enough. If you're looking to book the most unbelievable band for your wedding or special occasion and want everything to run smoothly- TRUST Barbara at Omnipop!!!

guests have even gone out to see them perform elsewhere! Barbara was so great to work with. She walked us through the process every step of the way.The band was so easy to work with…they were so fun, relaxed and accommodating. I am so happy I decided to go with them, they truly made my wedding day - a day I will never forget!

're going to be worried about a lot of things: will the limo be on time? did the catering hall remember my cake cutter? where is the throwing bouquet? IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY AT ALL ABOUT YOUR MUSIC OR SPECIAL REQUESTS, HIRE PEAT MOSS AND THE FERTILIZERS. This band allowed me to have a few less things to worry about going right on my big day. I didn't have to worry about the right songs being played or requests being honored. For peace of mind and one less thing to worry about, hire Peat Moss! I worked with Barbara at Omnipop for the booking. Barbara promptly returned my phone calls and emails, was able to answer all of my questions, and presented a very straight-forward process for booking. I asked a lot of Peat Moss: special numbers for my parents to dance to, special requests/group dances for our guests, weird announcements of Belmont Stakes winners, playing the music intro from Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell for our intro and even springing a Paul McCartney look/sound alike on them. And THEY DELIVERED ON EVERY REQUEST. Consummate professionals, every request I had was not only honored but they exceeded expectations. The band members of Peat Moss are hot stuff! Almost every guest at my wedding commented on how good looking the band was! Some of my more opinionated guests told me that they usually preferred DJs but Peat Moss won them over! If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely still choose Peat Moss and the Fertilizers.

I had to have The Touch! We danced all night and it couldn't have been a better party. Fast forward to this past July, I was lucky enough to have The Touch play at my outside Farm wedding. They were incredible. So many people couldn't get over the range if their voices. Everyone from our older guests to our younger bridal party made comments how it was the best band they've seen play. They were engaging with the crowd, kept people on the dance floor and can play almost anything. It was an incredible night and I highly recommend The Touch!

COULD NEVER BE HAPPY WITH ANYONE ELSE!!! They played absolutely everything (and played it well). All of our guests were packed on the dance floor all night. People are still raving about our band weeks later... Amazing! We even made a strange request for our first dance and asked them to change a classic 80's song into an acoustic version. They accommodated this request and sounded fantastic. Don't know how else to describe just how perfect they were for our wedding.... I would highly recommend them! If your not sure check out there website with upcoming performances at local bars... It was a great way to hear them play and check out how cute they are too :)

eir manager, Barbara, was a pleasure to work with and was very communicative throughout the entire process. She was the best! As always, a live band brings a tremendous amount of energy and fun to the occasion. They dipped into a nice catalog of music throughout the night that kept the dance floor full non-stop. They seamlessly played their sets beginning with great classics into more modern tunes as the night went on. A band like this, you don't need to request songs, you just let them feel the room and go. Everyone had a blast at our wedding and The Touch was a big reason why. We received many compliments from our guests regarding the band. They provided the perfect soundtrack to one of the most important night of our lives and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend them.

ibrant and talented without interfering with the guests. HIGHLY recommend!

. When looking for a band for my wedding I knew exactly who to turn to. Over the past year, I have received the same level of professionalism and kindness that I did the year prior. I appreciate her honesty and passion for the industry. Barbara is so caring and has so much information to share. She makes the process of booking a band stress-free. I highly recommend working with Barbara Klein!

ting about how much they loved the music. This band can play ANYthing you request, and they know exactly how to keep the party alive nonstop. At our wedding, my wife did a special surprise song with her dad during the father/daughter dance, and the band brought the house down. If The Touch is available on your wedding date, snap them up! Thank you so much to Barbara and the band for a fantastic party!

had and most importantly how much fun my husband and I had. They were BY FAR the BEST part of our reception and I would advise every bride and groom on Long Island/Queens/Brooklyn to book them. I work in the music industry and I'm a musician myself so we had high expectations for our music. My husband really wanted a band instead of a DJ. I knew of Peat Moss for years due to growing up on Long Island and seeing them at local bars. I knew if we were going to have a band, it had to be Peat Moss and The Fertilizers. They aren't the typical wedding band yet they are the best wedding band. If you want a wedding that people will be talking about for a long time, book this band. They even learned Proud Mary for us! They are the best wedding band I've ever heard and from what I hear from our guests, the best wedding band they've ever heard. We wish we could do it all over again, that's how much fun they made our wedding. Thanks Peat Moss!!! You guys Rocked it!

e songs that I loved and also added some tradition to the wedding which I had requested! He was such a great drummer and MC!!!! LOVE WORKING WITH THEM AND WOULD HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend them!!!

at our wedding and have such a great energy and therefore the wedding had such a great energy. Their music is amazing and they cover such a great range of music. We selected our favorites from their playlist and it was so hard to choose because they play them all great! They learned our first dance and parent dance songs and played them excellent!! Our family and friends are still raving about how great the band played at our wedding and how they never danced as much as they did that night, because of the great band. They are a great group of guys who really love what they do and it shows! We also hired the keyboard player for our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was amazing, created the perfect accompaniment during cocktails. I highly highly this band for a fun night with great music and great energy!!

Radio Riot was able to play every song we suggested, and if they didn't already play it they learned it for us. I was most concerned about having them learn our first song, and they completely nailed it! They were great to work with, really nice people, extremely talented, and knew exactly how to keep a party going! We are huge fans!!!

e wedding and the first thing every guest talks about is "that band." They learned songs that we loved and were personal to us, performed them perfectly and gave that personal touch that is so necessary throughout the planning process of a wedding. I highly reccommend them to anyone. It was my 1 decision and thankfully I came out looking like a genius!!!

mmodated. The guys were so great. EVERYONE loved them! From the oldest (78 yrs old) to youngest guests, all we have heard was they were the best wedding band people have ever seen. And I personally did not leave the dance floor. Not to eat dinner or talk to guests like I should have. They are fun and energetic and have a huge selection of music so you can have them play typical wedding songs or more popular songs you hear on the radio today. We went with the latter and they crushed it. The wedding was so much fun and a large part of that is because of Peat Moss!

iple compliments from our guests--one couple is even recommending them for their daughter's upcoming wedding. The Zoo are professional, fun, and know how to keep the party going. Our dance floor was full the entire night--and by people of all ages. They played a mix of oldies and classics (like Dion's "Runaround Sue" and Tom Petty's "American Girl") all the way up to current music (like Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" and Megan Trainor's "It's All About the Bass")--and sounded like the artist they were covering. We had so much fun with The Zoo and highly recommend them for your reception.

still have people raving about how much fun they had at our wedding. We love the music and the fun that Hot Date provides; we knew our friends would love it too, but what we didn't expect was our parents, aunts and uncles and even great aunts and great uncles loved it too. We saw people on the dance floor that we have never seen even out of their seats at past weddings and we have heard things like, "that was the best wedding I have been to in 50 years". Barbara at Omnipop was so easy to work with. She helped us make tough decisions about the most important day of our lives. The lead singers, Chelsea and Brian have amazing voices and an energy that gets people up and moving. And I love how the band learned a song that we requested to be played at the ceremony to make our wedding even more special. Hearing the live music being played as I stood at the end of the isle moved me to tears and then the music selection they chose brought us all to dance all night long. I would highly recommend you have Hot Date Band at your wedding. It was the perfect mix of live music and our favorite DJ jams. Not only were they a pleasure to work with and listen to, they were also really reasonably priced for all of the special details that went into our special day.

asy dealing with their agent Barbara, she was very responsive and got us answers quickly, which you will definitely appreciate when you're planning a wedding. She really made us feel like we were important to them, not just a gig, which not many vendors do! When we finally met the Wild Ones, they were SO polite and sweet, they really made us feel like we hired our friends to play! The MC and drummer, Toby, was incredible, and he made sure he checked with us about anything that wasn't previously discussed, which was such a relief that there were no surprises or things we didn't want. They stuck to our list of songs that we wanted, and even learned a few songs just for our wedding! They also learned our parent dances, which was so sweet, and a VERY nice surprise. I can't say enough about this band, and I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married that wants to have a fun and energetic reception! They will get EVERYONE on that dance floor!
