Stan Wiest Music

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.

we used stan wiest for our ceremony and cocktail hour music for our wedding and were thrilled. we met with stan and he made the process very easy and fun. he was accommodating and made us know that if we had any problems throughout the wedding planning process, we could come to him. ceremony and cocktail hour music was reasonable and knocked it out of the park. we were so happy.

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 on 9/29/19 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!

My husband and I met with Stan for our November 2018 wedding and really enjoyed him and decided to book his DJ company. Biggest regret EVER. First off, the DJ met with us prior to our reception walk out to go over pronunciation of our last name and went over the questionnaire I had filled out - it was perfect. Welp, 2 minutes later he announces my husband and I and SAYS THE LAST NAME COMPLETELY WRONG. It was so bad we had to cut it out of our wedding video. Then he announces the wedding party and us using the same generic background music when I specifically requested certain songs for each couple. Then he didn't play ANY of the songs I put down on my questionnaire - I walked up to the booth probably 10 times telling him to play certain songs. Stan was lovely, but he needs to hire new DJs.

Stan was great when we met with him. Very nice man. This is nothing against Stan as a person. However he promised from the very start that they were the only DJ company who would let you choose ALL of your songs or they would give you a "free" wedding. This is one of the biggest reasons I went with Stan. A month after we sent him our song list(Also a month before the wedding) he calls in a panic telling us we had too many songs and we needed to break it down to 20 must play songs by the next day. We had spent hours picking our songs and now had to break it down to 20. So I did and sent it to him that same day. After all of that the DJ plays maybe 5 of our must play songs and decides to play whatever he wanted for the rest of the night. It was our wedding and we were paying for OUR choice of songs to be played. It was very disappointing. The DJ was also VERY loud. I had to ask him a few times to turn it down but it barely made a difference. If your looking to choose your own music I would not recommend Stan Weist Music.

Stan is awesome! He is very helpful and knows a lot of weddings and music! We were so happy with our DJ Dennis! Everyone was perfect for our wedding. Stan is very personable and loves his career. Highly recommend!!!

My bride and felt it was very important to have live music during our reception, to give it more of sense of occasion then the average party. We had quite a lot of disagreement early on about what kind of music to have and how to satisfy all the guests we were expecting. Young people, older people, reserved people and party animals. We wanted people to be able to get up and dance, but not feel they were being pressured to, and to still be able to sit and talk if that's what they wanted to do. When we met Stan, he reassured us that everything we wanted was perfectly doable. He shared with us many techniques he knows from his long experience performing at weddings for engaging a crowd without being obnoxious. He told us about how he and his band have learned to read what crowds are responding to, and choose their next songs accordingly, rather than just following an arbitrary set list. He played us a number of selections, show casing the wide range of musical styles he and his band can perform. I also appreciated his policy of never, EVER playing the Chicken Dance. When the big day arrived, Mr. Weist was as good as his word and better. He played a delightful solo piano medley during our cocktail hour. Then, during the reception itself, he and the band managed to keep most of the guests up and dancing throughout, while never getting too noisy to interrupt the folks just eating and talking. All the guests talked about how much they enjoyed the music and the event overall. We owe a big part of our wedding's success to Mr. Weist and would throughly recommend him and his band to anyone looking to add live music to their wedding plans. Sincerely, -Sam Rappold

in dealing with stan my husband and i were really happy. he is a bit eccentric and promised over and over again that he would play what we wanted, that he was the best, that he has been in the business for a long time. he was very convincing, but stan wasnt our dj. we had another dj work with us who called at 10pm to discuss the extensive packet we filled out. in addition to the long packet i emailed some songs that i felt were "must plays". in discussing the packet i was talked out of some selections i had made, i was told by the dj that some songs werent "really happy" so i reluctantly changed them, then out of the "must plays" i really only heard one song. my family and friends all had a great time, but i am convinced it was because we had a great crowd, not because of the music. all in all i was happy that stan was so available and professional when it came to answering calls and calling back, but i was really unhappy with the dj for the reception, if i had to do it all over again, i would not choose stan weists services

Kept the party going and kept it classy! Great prices also!

We booked a string quartet for our ceremony through them and they were great. They could have used a microphone near them but it was fine. Our DJ (George) was not very accommodating. We had given him a long list of songs we'd like to hear and songs we MUST hear. He did not play more than half of the list during our FIVE hour reception. My sister went up to him towards the end of the night and he said he was "winging it". We did not get what we paid for and were quite disappointed. This was after he had assured us the list was fine and he had no problem finding the songs.

First, the positive: Stan made himself available for our questions and concerns and answered emails and calls very promptly and professionally, and he was always quick to say that his company was the best in the business and that he would not disappoint. It definitely made me feel comfortable when booking his company for a DJ and a pianist for our wedding reception. I also liked that he had a seven-page questionnaire, which really made me feel like they cared about our personal choices. The pianist who played during the cocktail hour was excellent, and the DJ had a lot of energy. He managed to make sure that people were always dancing (except during dinner), without having to ask them to get up like some DJ's do. The price of the service seemed like the fairest in the area. The negative: For all the boasting Stan did about his company, and for all the time I spent filling out the questionnaire, I expected the evening to live up to my admittedly high expectations. It's not like I had a bad time, but it was my wedding after all, and I figure I'm allowed to be picky. First, the DJ was not available to meet with us in person before the wedding. We talked to him on the phone briefly and agreed to have an email conversation, but he never emailed us back. Perhaps if we had met beforehand, he would have gotten more of the details correct! Our first dance song and the song for the groom and his mother were both incorrect versions of the songs we requested. He also didn't play any of the genres of music I asked for in the questionnaire, except for the usual Top 40 music you'd expect to hear at most Long Island clubs. One of Stan's big bragging points was that his music would never be too loud. Well...it was too loud. Finally, some of the DJ's behavior was less than professional, like using bad language. Overall, I can't really complain about the experience. My husband and I had a great time at the wedding as did our guests. But I wish our DJ had been a little more accommodating of our wishes and personality. If you're considering Stan Wiest, I would recommend meeting with your DJ in person before the wedding, to make sure that you communicate exactly what you want.

THESE GUYS PLAYED ALL NIGHT WITHOUT EVEN TAKING A BREAK, APPEALED TO A WIDE SPECTRUM OF GUESTS, BOTH YOUNG AND OLD, AND WERE FLAWLESS..

Stan promised us everything would run smoothly and people would be on the dance floor from beginning to end. He did not let us down. He accomodated every type of music requested and was completely reliable. Everyone had a fantastic time dancing the night away.

Very Good. Could be better.;The Harpist was late. They seem not to have practised but were pretty good
