The Barnstorm

When we first started wedding planning, one of the most important aspects of our big day was finding the right band. One that would keep everyone on their feet throughout the night and rock hard. The first band that came to mind was The Barnstorm. My husband and I used to go see them when they played Hill Country in NYC, and we knew they'd be exactly our vibe - with all of the songs we grew up loving but still knowing plenty of the classics. It wasn't long before we reached out to Brooks and started coordinating. From start to finish they were incredible to work with - from allowing us to use their microphone for our ceremony, to great communication and transparency all of the way through the wedding planning months, to being one of the best aspects of the entire wedding, the Barnstorm was by far the best and easiest decision we made. As a cherry on top, they even learned Blitzkrieg Bop for my mother-in-law to transition from her mother-son dance to kicking off the party - something she'll remember forever. All we heard for weeks afterwards was how much fun they had at our wedding, how unbelievable the band was, and how we basically threw a concert wedding - not to mention the crush everyone had on the lead singer JR. We are now lifelong groupies and the only thing I can say is if you are still up in the air about who to book to play your wedding, look no further than the Barnstorm!

Our party was fantastic thanks to The Barnstorm! Our friends and family are still talking about the music -it made the night. Their production was perfect and we never worried a minute (even when it was pouring rain) about anything. Thanks to the guys for among our evening a dream come true. Susie and John

I cannot express enough how epic The Barnstorm was at our wedding. Brooks was extremely communicative throughout the planning process. Their song choices, energy and crowd engagement were unmatched compared to other wedding bands we have seen. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the Barnstorm and we are so happy we are now apart of the Barnstorm family! IF YOU DON'T PICK THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING, YOU'RE MISSING OUT

We already knew they would be great, they played at my SIL's wedding but wow they really do bring the party. Everything from the music and lighting to their stage presence, they really made the wedding great. It's been 6 months and we still have friends and family asking us who our wedding band was. These past few years I've been to a lot of weddings, an okay DJ is better than a bad band but a great DJ isn't half as good as a great band and The Barnstorm truly are GREAT! I'd recommend them to absolutely everyone that's looking for a great band and a memorable wedding.

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we can’t imagine it without The Barnstorm. They were the heart and soul of our celebration! From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was alive with our closest friends and family, all having the time of their lives. I’ve known Cameron, Hunter, JR, and Brooks since way back in 2008, catching their acoustic sets at Brother Jimmy’s on the Upper East Side. Even then, I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding someday, and they truly made that dream a reality. The Barnstorm brought so much warmth and intimacy to our ceremony by learning and playing the special songs we requested. Cameron’s instrumental version of "MMMBop" (yes, from Hanson!) and "You'll Never Walk Alone" for our family processional made the ceremony so personal and unique. And the reception? Pure joy from start to finish! Our “song” is "Simply the Best," and Cameron and JR worked together to blend the sweetness of the "Schitt’s Creek" version with Tina Turner’s iconic style—which made for an absolutely unforgettable first dance. They learned a rare Elvis tune for the dance with my dad, which meant the world to him, and several other songs that we requested, which really made our set list feel so customized and sentimental. The dance floor was alive all night, with The Barnstorm perfectly reading the room and keeping the energy high. From millennial favorites to timeless classics, they knew exactly how to captivate everyone. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how incredible they were and how much fun they had! What truly sets The Barnstorm apart is their genuine connection with everyone in the room, all while making us feel like the stars of the night. They didn’t just play music; they crafted memories that we’ll cherish forever. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives, and we’re already counting down the days until we can see them rock out in NYC again!

Simply put: the Eras Tour of wedding bands. Don't hesitate. Go go! You can read the full review after you've booked them. The Barnstorm is THAT band. They get the party started, they keep it going and when you think you can't dance anymore, they'll pull you back in for another solid 2 hours. Not to mention how far they traveled to party with us! I cannot tell you how much fun they made our wedding. Our friends and family are still talking about it. I am very fortunate to have known some of the members for years, and in addition to being one "h-e double hockey sticks" of a band, they're also the nicest people you'll meet. Trust me, the search is over. You're gonna have the best night.

Booking The Barnstorm was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. This band absolutely made the night. Every person at our wedding was on the dance floor and did not leave the entire night. Their energy, vocals, and crowd work were unmatched. Guests are still telling us that this was the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding. In addition to talented, the entire band was so incredibly nice, and Brooks was so easy to work with. We cannot wait until we have the opportunity to see / party with the Barnstorm again. If you are thinking of booking them for your wedding, please do it. You will not regret it.

The Barnstorm is "simply the best"! They are super easy to work with and Brooks is very responsive and attentive to any special requests/ needs. It honestly felt like we were working with friends. From the first to the last song. the band brought the energy needed for an extremely fun wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and we had so many people coming up to us remarking on how awesome the band was. The new sax player was a great addition and absolutely crushed some Springsteen! I highly recommend getting this band for your wedding. They made our day so special.

BEST DECISION EVER. The Barnstorm truly made our day magical and unforgettable! For any bride/groom that is considering live music - these are your guys! I've never experienced EVERY guest on the dance floor as I did at our wedding, and it is all thanks to the Barnstorm for getting (and keeping) the party going! Banger after BANGER. Like a wedding mash pit. But safer. No stage dives. But you’ll want to 😜. Absolutely no regrets, greatest decision we made, hands down. Love em!!!

The entire Barnstorm crew is awesome. They played our wedding and could not have been more attentive to our preferences and logistics or had the crowd out of their seats for more of the night! The team is very organized and professional, they take a huge amount of pride in what they do and it shows. They did a great job learning our first dance song and even made us a demo for us to practice with. Their execution was perfect. They did a great job emceeing and keeping the night flowing seamlessly. And during the dance sessions, they sounded great and brought so much energy. All of our guests made a point of telling us how much they liked the Barnstorm. A true highlight of our wedding celebration and could not recommend more strongly

I looked forward to every Tuesday night when my friends and I would gather at Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill to watch The Barnstorm and dance until we couldn’t feel our feet. I knew in 2017 that one day I would get married and I wanted to recreate this wonderful feeling that I would get every Tuesday night. WELL, joke’s on me because I got that feeling and more. I do not even have words for the atmosphere that The Barnstorm created on our wedding day. Leading up to that day, Brooks was INCREDIBLY attentive to the hundreds of questions that I bombarded him with on a daily basis. He walked me through pricing, how the first dances would go, what kind of music gets played during dinner – every question came with an immediate follow up and a “how are you doing?” – completely above and beyond what a typical wedding band would provide. And that was before our wedding day even happened! The day of was indescribable. The atmosphere provided by The Barnstorm was absolutely electric and had every single person on the dance floor from 8 pm to 1130 pm. I genuinely feel like our wedding was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band is absolutely magnetic. To top it off about one week after our wedding, as we were reliving the day, I get a text message from a friend saying “we booked your wedding band!”. They are THAT freaking good. If you want to have the best night of your entire life PLEASE look no further than The Barnstorm.

I really don't know where to begin to express how great the Barnstorm is!!! Weeks after our wedding we still have friends and family reaching out to tell us how epic the band was. I truly believe that keeping crowds excited and enthused is the key to creating an unforgettable wedding, one that will live a long time in the minds of those attending…. This is exactly what the Barnstorm encapsulates! From first conversations to the last song, they delivered beyond expectations. Not only did they completely kill it during the reception, they played at both our ceremony and cocktail hour….it was truly a full experience they delivered. Thank you Barnstorm for being a HUGE part of the best day of our lives!!!

I mean…What to SAY about these guys?!?! One of our guests said it best, “They aren’t a wedding band, they are a LEGIT concert!!” Barnstorm exceeded all of our expectations. We knew they’d rock it but they were totally the talk of the wedding. Songs, vibes, enthusiasm, all of it. They are the best and I might have to get married 100 more times just to keep working with them!!!

We LOVED the Barnstorm! Originally witnessed them at a wedding in 2019 and booked them for our 2020 wedding. When we had to cancel and reschedule for 2023, the band was MY top priority. They delivered as we expected and the photos from our wedding party say it all. They are professional, fun and bring the energy and good vibes as everyone says. I didn’t leave the dance floor all night and they let me join them on the microphone for many party’s of the evening. So fun and not your traditional wedding band- book them and you won’t regret it one bit I promise!

Oh my lanta! If you want the best dressed group of darn good singers who come with professional concert level lighting & sound then this is the band for you. The videos on youtube and what they send you really don't even do them justice. The vibe and energy they bring is infectious to both avid dancers and shyer folks. We had friends who avoid the dance floor who couldn't help but inch there way up to the dance floor. They really create magic. If you are able to book them in time you will not be sorry and the relief of knowing you have stellar music & entertainment is the biggest weight lifted off your shoulders when wedding planning. We booked about a year and a half in advance...so get on it!!

A TRULY MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE YOUR GUESTS WILL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR WEEKS! Look, you can probably hire another wedding band and people may leave thinking "that was a lovely affair." However, if you are looking to go beyond just "that was a lovely affair", and create a truly memorable experience for you and your guests, where everyone will leave remembering how incredible your wedding was, then The Barnstorm is the band you need to hire. From the very beginning, Brooks was very professional, responsive, accommodating, and easy to deal with. The band also coordinated with our venue before the wedding to make sure everything was in place. On the wedding day, the band provided acoustic guitar play during the ceremony, which was originally set up to be outside, but when it suddenly rained, they were able to quickly and seamlessly move all of their equipment to our tented location. The band also provided a great jazz trio for our cocktail hour which completely hit the mark. Now for the main event, the reception. You should know that you are not just getting an incredible band, but you are also getting concert-level production from the professional lighting and audio to the haze machines. Indeed, we felt like we were getting our own personal show. If something needed to be changed or adjusted last minute, they were incredibly reassuring that this was our day, they were here for us, and they would get it done and they did. These guys have a certain chemistry with each other and their passion and energy comes through and your guests will see it and feel it as JR is out on dance floor singing among you and your guests. The Barnstorm was a total hit at our wedding and everyone I spoke to at our event could not stop commenting on how great the band was. I heard quotes like, "where did you find these guys?!?", "these guys rock", and "do you think they would travel to play my wedding?". We also had guests that were googling The Barnstorm at the wedding to find out just who these rock stars were. The band even took a song request from me during their set and seamlessly worked it in as their next song. The Barnstorm will get your guests out on the floor dancing and they definitely bring the fun. Their website says "we are not heroes", but they were definitely our wedding heroes.

There are wedding bands… and then there’s The Barnstorm! Brooks, Cam, JR, Hunter, Seth, Matthew, and Jamie are incredible musicians who know how to bring the party!! Our guests had such an amazing time rocking out with them as did we. We stumbled across The Barnstorm as a recommendation from our Florist and we are so glad they had our wedding date open. Brooks was incredibly responsive during our early correspondence and throughout the time leading up to our wedding. This was super reassuring for us given how stressful it is to plan a wedding. We knew the entertainment would be taken care of and was one less thing to stress about. The Barnstorm has such an extensive set list that had something for everyone to rock out to. They were also able to learn a few songs for our dances and they absolutely crushed them. I would recommend The Barnstorm to anyone, any day. They are the best of the best and blow any other band/wedding entertainment out of the water.

Ok to start, I saw Barnstorm play at a bar in Manhattan about 5 years ago and immediately told my sister - they will play at my wedding (whenever that is I hadn't even met my Husband at the time) so they literally made my dreams come true. Brooks is absolutely incredible to work with. He was super responsive and made the entire booking process seamless. Barnstorm absolutely crushed the entire night, from MC'ing to playing the best songs and keeping the crowd on the dance floor, it was an all around amazing experience. If you are thinking twice about booking Barnstorm, DO IT. Me and my husband are Barnstormies for life.

What the Barnstorm does is unique. There are plenty of options out there for wedding band services with a rotating roster of excellent musicians that offer a great experience. What sets a "band" apart is when the members have chemistry with each other, when they have charisma, and when they make the musical experience unique. The Barnstorm strives to make every wedding they play unique to its bride, groom, and family. Wether that be learning a special song, how to do your intro/walk out, or getting crowd participation, the Barnstorm does all of that and more. We always felt comfortable that the Barnstorm were going to deliver on all of our unique, "quirky" requests. Can't say enough good things about these guys!

As a wedding planner it's always a nice suprise when I come across vendors who are professional, passionate and so much fun to work with! Barnstorm is such a talented band! They understand logistics of a wedding and are just super organized on the prep side of things. Once they hit that stage- they put on a killer show- you forget you're at a wedding and it feels more like a concert. Book these guys now!

I've looked for hours in the dictionary to find the words to accurately describe how insanely magical our wedding was and it's all because of The Barnstorm. Sure my wife looked stunning, the food was great and we got to party with 200 of our closest friends but the minute it was time to hit the dance floor, everyone knew it was on. With the perfect mix of music from old school rock to Hip hop, country to Spotify's weekly hits, The Barnstorm had everyone up and out of their seats unlike any other band I had ever seen. Time was flying by and everyone was having a blast with each song and mashup, not to mention their incredible light show, when all of a sudden the fire alarm in the hotel came on with 20 minutes left in the party. Our magical night was shaping up to have a terrible ending. Without missing a beat, Brooks, Cam, JR and Hunter came gliding through the lobby with acoustics in hand. Brooks, seeing both my wife and me visibly bummed out at what was going on, shot us a look and said the party must go on... followed by a wink and a finger gun. While fire alarms howled and first responders began flooding to the hotel, wedding guests and random hotel guests alike were serenaded to an impromptu acoustic jam session on the hotel's front porch (my wife even playing the trash can drums). After the mayhem, they extended our party for the time missed and The 'Storm headed back inside to close out the party. The magic was back and the dance floor was once again full. I can't say how much it meant for us to have The Barnstorm play our wedding. Your search is over. Reach out to them today and know that everyone at your wedding will be talking about how much fun they had for years to come!

Barnstorm was incredible. Our entire wedding was on the dance floor the entire event singing and dancing. They were incredibly easy to work with and we cannot suggest them enough!

Hands down, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was booking The Barnstorm. We had the time of our lives and never left the dance floor!! The number one feedback from our guests has been how awesome our band was. If you want to have a super fun wedding, book The Barnstorm!

The Barnstorm is an absolute must for a wedding! Book them now! The band performed at my ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding reception – I wouldn’t have had it any other way. On my wedding night, I wanted a full dance floor and the energy high. The Barnstorm had everyone out of their seat dancing the night away. Playing a wide variety of songs, the setlist transcended generations as both old and young guests lost their voices by the end of the night belting out the lyrics to their favorite songs. The band’s energy kept the crowd going all night, leaving wedding guests wanting more by the end of the celebration. The band was incredibly easy to work with, ensuring the bride & groom celebrated and danced to their favorite music, while seamlessly working with the venue, wedding planner, and other vendors to ensuring a flawless evening.

The Barnstorm played music through the generations with raw power and a lot of energy, and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. The familiar refrain from the night was “the band is amazing.” The Barnstorm also provided terrific acoustical music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The band learned several songs that we requested, some just a month out from the event and nailed them. Working with Brooks was fun, easy and stress free. Brooks was quick to respond to any and all questions through voice or email and worked seamlessly with our planner at Castle Hill.

I have never sworn by something as much as I now do about the Barnstorn and their insane ability to bring the best party! It’s been 3 weeks since our wedding and I still get asked everyday who our band was and how they can find them! Everyone was on the dance floor. That uncle or aunt you think will sit in the corner - I promise they won’t be! ‘Best party, not just wedding, but party we’ve ever been to’ ‘Holy *hit that band was so amazing’ ‘That was a palooza!’ ‘Can we do this again next year? Don’t forget the band!’ … SO much more! Invest in picking the best entertainment and ALL of your guests will never forget your big day or event! Also, brides, if you want to be able to arrive to your party effortlessly, these guys make all of that happen! No stress, no worry actually at all. We never even thought about it, just had the most beautiful music for our ceremony and showed up to a private concert for our friends and family at the reception. From start to finish their communication and organization are just as amazing as their talents! Whole package! I cannot thank you guys enough! We most definitely will meet again! Hugs and many many many thanks from Colorado!

The thing we wanted most for our wedding was an incredible dance floor, where our family and friends could really let loose and enjoy themselves. We owe all the great vibes and energy, lost voices, and sore bodies to the best wedding band ever, The Barnstorm !! They were truly incredible. For how much screaming and excitement there was, you would’ve thought we had a celebrity guest performance! Huge shout out to the talented band and their perfect music selection, the tech crew, and their fancy light show. It looked like an actual concert! The energy never slowed down, and when he end of the night came, and we were told to leave, the crowd wouldn’t stop screaming “ONE MORE SONG! ONE MORE SONG!” Brooks, JR, Cam, Hunter and the entire crew from Barnstorm were so easy to work with, and even though we’ve known them for a long time - back to when they performed at Brother Jimmy’s before they became a 5 star wedding band! But they were always so professional, organized, generous, and flexible. We worked with them a bit to put together a direction for the music but then we ultimately let them do their thing and trusted that we were in the best hands. They can perform such a range of music - from the classics, to mainstream pop, rock, rap, country - you name it. They hit all our favorites while playing off the vibes of the crowd to keep people from ever leaving the dance floor, which is their specialty. Having them was the best decision we made. I could not recommend hiring them as a wedding band more. We love The Barnstorm!!

Hands down the best! Most fun, energetic and fantastic band and people. The Barnstorm is not only a wedding band - they are a legit band; they know their stuff and will have you and your guests thinking you're at an actual concert. From the crowd interaction, song choices and lighting - they put on a show and know how to get the party going and keeping guests on the dance floor. I wish I could get married everyday cause I'd hire The Barnstorm every. single. time! Not only were they our wedding band, but I feel like we gained new friends too. Cant recommend them enough!

The best band in entertainment that will have your guests talking about your day for a very long time. The high energy performance lit up the night sky at our event in 1WTC. Barnstorm was professional, easy to work, and the best all around in entertainment. The highlight of having Barnstorm perform was watching everyone else have an AMAZing time.

The Barnstorm were wonderful! Fun, professional, they really brought Big Energy and excellent musicianship. Highly recommend them, and wish I had more occasions to hire live bands. Thank you Barnstorm and hope to see you around the City soon!

Book them!!! Seriously - if we hadn't have hired the Barnstorm our wedding definitely wouldn't have been as epic as it was. We had acoustic guitars for our ceremony, jazz for cocktail hour and they brought the party for the reception. They customized our first dance song for us and it was perfect. They had literally everyone at the wedding on the dance floor the entire night. I could go on and on. Just hire them! Thanks again guys :D

“Where did you find these guys?” I think we heard that more than “congratulations” at our reception! We were lucky enough to experience The Barnstorm at our friends’ wedding, and knew right away we HAD to have them at ours. Except, there’s no way they’re going to travel 800 miles to make it happen for us, right? Wrong. Despite the distance, they still took care of EVERYTHING and made it super easy. And boy did they show up. One hit after another, they kept everyone on their feet ALL night. I’m not kidding when I say every single song was amazing - they know how to read the room and keep the energy going. It was awesome. I can’t imagine what our reception would have been like without The Barnstorm - book them first, then worry about everything else!

The Barnstorm is an amazing wedding band!! We found these guys on the Knot and we so happy they played at our wedding. Professional, sounded great, great harmonies, outstanding entertainment!! Our wedding party couldn't say enough about them!! As with most weddings, we had a wide variety of ages and musical tastes but everyone loved them. A must hire for your wedding!!

"One more song! One more song! Five more songs!" - words chanted by our 135 wedding guests at the end of the night. Has any one else ever had an encore at their wedding?! These guys are AMAZING. They are insanely talented, fun, and hard-working. The Barnstorm made sure everyone had the absolute best time at our wedding. We literally never left the dance floor. The Barnstorm also helped out the best men with their speech and learned our first dance song. They did a BEAUTIFUL job with the song we chose and we are so grateful! The band also agreed to learn and play a pop Christmas song for fun at our request (and they absolutely nailed it) - they really just want to make sure you and your guests have the most unforgettable night! Brooks was also incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. These guys aren't just talented -they are also genuine and kind. Even our photographer came up to me to tell me how exceptionally nice they are and how she wants to go wherever they go. Yes, they are that good. We can't thank these guys enough and hope to see them play again soon!!!

Future brides and/or grooms the search ends here. Seriously. What two things do people remember about your wedding? MUSIC and food (good or bad). And you get what you pay for with both. All night (and honestly still to this day) our guest were asking where I found this band and where they can see them again. Everyone was dancing the entire night and the tenge of music was exactly what we wanted from classics, pop and even some country! These guys really love what they do and genuinely want to to give you the best party ever! They surprised us by learning our intro song that we assumed would just be an MP3 of the original! BUT my best memory of the entire night was a hybrid 2nd dance that transitioned from an original classic recording to live performance by Barnstorm. It was such a special moment that Brooks and the guys worked really hard on, and it was such a standout memory for my husband and I. Book them. Just do it. You will not regret it!!!!

An excellent band. Keeping this short and to the point: This group (Barnstorm Band) nailed it. They don't simply play a set-list of standard hit songs at you; This band puts on a thrilling performance tailored for you. Fabulous ability to read the audience, and make adjustments on the fly. The group was focused on providing an electric environment for our wedding party, and they delivered. I strongly recommend the Barnstorm Band if you're looking for a high-energy, exceptional music/dance floor atmosphere.

The Barnstorm was EPIC. They crushed every single song. Chose the best songs. engaged with the crowd. had so much energy. didn't stop singing. were just so much fun. Definitely recommend! Book them ASAP! We literally can't stop talking about them. everything about the entire experience was AMAZING.

I truly believe we hired the best wedding band out there, The Barnstorm. They traveled all the way from New York City to Indiana and they absolutely brought the party with them. One thing every guest at the wedding could agree on is that the dance floor never stopped. Blink-182, Whitney Houston, Taylor Swift..you name it, they can do it. Not to mention they’re one of the most dapper wedding bands I’ve ever seen - they came dressed in custom black tuxes covered in a dusty pink floral pattern! Our wedding would not have been the same without them - highly recommend!

Cameron and Brooks have been performing at our charity outing for years. They are terrific and we have them back every year because our supporters love the music and the great vibe they bring to the event. We will continue to have them at our event in the years ahead. Great guys and terrific music!

Truly the best ever! These guys are responsive, respectful, and SO MUCH FUN! We had a small wedding of 70 people. I assumed it would be a low key wedding and warned them that people may not dance. That is not an option with this band. All guests were on the dance floor, even my husband, who nobody had ever seen dance. We ended the night singing on stage with them. We had hired them as acoustic for our welcome party & ceremony, jazz trio for cocktail hour, and full band for the reception! They were such a pleasure to be around all weekend! Our guests are still talking about how incredible they were!

When I came to leave our review, it is no surprise that The Barnstorm has all 5 stars. They KILLED it at our wedding! Every song was perfect, and the dance floor was full from start to finish. We heard numerous compliments afterwards about how awesome they are, and we couldn't agree more! Not only was the music great, but Brooks, JR, Hunter, and the rest of the band were all such nice guys. They were so happy to be there for us on our big day, and went above and beyond to help in any way they could. Leading up to the wedding they were very responsive and willing to assist in any way possible. If we wanted to make any changes, they were always able to adjust to our wants. We even had to move the wedding outside less than a month away due to COVID, and they didn't blink an eye. Thank you guys for making our wedding day perfect! We can't way to go see you all in Brooklyn in December!

Nothing that we can write in this review will do justice to the unforgettable experience we had at our wedding with The Barnstorm! In search for our wedding band, we saw The Barnstorm play one night at Hill Country BBQ and knew immediately afterwards we needed to have them at our wedding. Their music is FOR EVERYONE - rock, pop, 80s, 90s - you name it, they play it! After the wedding, we've had so many of our guests comment on how crowded the dance floor was the entire night. The only thing that may be better than their actual music are the personalities of all the band members - from the moment of initial contact, they were incredibly flexible, nice, and genuinely excited to be a part of our experience. They navigated the pandemic wedding experience with us in such an amazing way, and we're so thankful we chose them to a part of our day. We're hoping to have another excuse(s) in the near future to invite The Barnstorm back for more fun!

There is absolutely nothing like a Barnstorm wedding. We had set out looking for a cool, less traditional wedding band; what we got was the party of a lifetime! After a recommendation from our venue, we went to see them play at Hill Country BBQ in NYC. From the very first song, my husband and I knew we had to book them. We had an unbelievable evening, and we couldn’t wait to bring that experience to our loved ones at our wedding! I’d never seen so many people instantly gravitate to the dance floor when the Barnstorm kicked off the reception. We heard raves about them all evening from our guests and even our other vendors; and the raves continue to this day! In addition to their talent, they are also an incredibly cool group of guys, a breeze to work with, accommodating and communicative. Out of the thousands of decisions that were involved in planning our wedding; booking The Barnstorm was absolutely the best one!

How do I even begin this review? If I could give The Barnstorm 10 stars I would. My husband and I hired the Barnstorm to play at our wedding after seeing them live multiple times in NYC. To say they completely blew us away is an understatement. Every single person at our wedding was on the dance floor the entire night and has raved about the band since. The professionalism, communication and musical gift that these guys have is truly impressive and made working with them an absolute breeze and pleasure. Through them, we also hired a saxophone to play alongside which was worth it 100000%. If you have any doubt in you mind, go see them live. You won’t regret it. They will bring your special day to a whole new level.

Ladies.. if there is any doubt in your mind about hiring The Barnstorm for your wedding, let that s*** go and book them NOW. These guys are not only the greatest, coolest, most down to earth dudes you'll ever meet, but truly the most talented band out there. We had seen then play at my brother's wedding a few months back and knew that we had to have them. We didn't even suggest songs to them.. we literally just told them to play whatever.. and they were PERFECT. Not only that, but the song that I chose for my father/daughter dance was a Darius Rucker song, and quite honestly I like the Barnstorm version better. These guys kept the party going all night... one one wanted to leave the dance floor! The chants of "one more song!" at the end of the night was fitting since all anyone was talking about was how incredible they were. To this day, almost a month later, I still have friends and family asking for their name and contact info. These guys are not your average cover band, and certainly not the band that your old teacher plays in and you see all over town. These guys are the real deal.. they play at major super bowl parties, for celebrities and high end parties. You are actually doing yourself a major disservice if you don't reach out, at the very least. I promise you. As someone who is a perfectionist and wants the best of everything (ugh, I know!), these guys are a must-have for your wedding. Must. No questions asked. Sorry not sorry.

The Barnstorm was everything I could have ever dreamed of in a wedding band and more. Prior to the wedding they were extremely easy to work with in planning. They were super responsive and amazing in terms of communication. They were always available and around to chat whenever we had questions or concerns or ideas. Regarding the party, they rocked out so hard! My guests danced the night away as they played hit after hit. They are more than a band that plays music as they really know how to engage the crowd and get the people going. Multiple people came up to me after the wedding and said that was the best wedding band of their life. I'm in my late 20's and many of my guests have been to several weddings. They were a dream come true and I know they would crush for any wedding out there! Don't even think about it! Book them now if you want to dance your night away and have the time of your life!

Amazing is an understatement! Book them now! This review is wayyy overdue! And so easy to write! If you are considering booking Barnstorm and haven’t already then you should stop reading these reviews and go email them now to book!! They are so freaking talented that you feel like you are at a concert and just smiling until the last song! Actually, we were a bit sad that they ever had to stop playing and just kept wanting them to play into the late hours of the night! We got married during Covid and had the earlier 50 person restrictions, etc...We ended up going from an 8 piece to 4 piece since we were having fewer guests. They were so graceful with the changes and uncertainties, possible postponing, new date and back to the original date ...if they were frustrated with our back and forth we would never know. They truly were about making life easier for the Bride and Groom so we could enjoy our day with no added stress and had some great advice that helped refocus us in the chaos of wedding planning. Super amazing, chill and down to earth people! We felt no need to micromanage the songs they played during the evening probably because we got to enjoy them at a friend’s wedding a year prior and from then on had our complete trust in song choices and ability to read the audience! They also so gracefully learned 4-5 songs for our day, which we appreciated! Our guests to this day keep raving about their talent and kindness! Actually, a family member is getting married this summer and is planning on booking them! So we get to enjoy them a 3rd time at a wedding!!! With Covid restrictions and the uncertainty of what dancing will look like in the future I would recommend Barnstorm because even if you can’t dance you will be able enjoy live music from a truly talented band and your guests will be entertained; able to watch a great performance instead of staring at a Dj.. a bit more high action I’d say! We also had them play our ceremony with an acoustic set and simply amazing! Book them now! I promise, you will not regret!!!

The Barnstorms are an incredible band - the type of band we would try to see live even before we got engaged. And in fact the first time my husband and I happened to see them, I turned to a mutual friend who was with us and said “if we get married, this is the band” and then 4 YEARS later when we were engaged, I made good on that! That’s how fun and memorable they are as a band. But on top of being so talented - with their lively and unique twists on all the top party songs and more - they are the best vendor we worked with in planning our wedding. So accommodating, organized and friendly. It really felt like working with friends vs. an anonymous vendor type. I honestly think they are the best wedding band in the biz - if you’re even thinking about booking them, you have to do so fast because they’ll get snapped up!

The Barnstorm played at our welcome party the night before the wedding, and they really set the tone for the whole wedding weekend. Amazing song list, such great energy, and they kept the party going the whole night! So much run!

After seeing The Barnstorm be the life of a NYE party, we HAD to hire them for our annual charity fundraiser. They are fun, talented, interactive and everyone will be dancing all night and talking about them for days after your event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Have seen the Barnstorm in a variety of ways - bars, weddings, events. No matter your need - whether full band, small group, duet or even solo - they hit it out of the park. We had Cam for our front yard, Zoom wedding. He was a perfect addition to a day that did not go as originally planned. They are a great group of guys, very easy to work with and will be a wonderful addition to your special day.

Less than two months before our wedding, on July 18, 2020, we were panicking because we didn't have music covered. Having previously seen The Barnstorm play many times in NYC, we decided it was worth a shot to see if they could play (as a duo) at our 30 person, backyard wedding. Luckily for us, due to covid19, they didn't have much lined up. We never had any doubt that they would do a great job, but they absolutely blew us away, learning three songs for first dances, and even surprising us by adding a drummer to the mix. Not only are they an amazing band, but even better people. They couldn't thank my husband and I enough for the chance to play together, their first time since the virus started, and even partook in our lemon theme. We didn't want the night to end, and our guests (and neighbors, listening from their porches), couldn't stop raving about how good they were! Don't hesitate to contact them to make your backyard (or regular) wedding unforgettable!

The Barnstorm were completely awesome. They literally brought the party... performed for ~3 hours straight and had everyone dancing -- like, truly dancing, not just that sort of awkward uptight wedding dancing. They were so. much. fun. Many people told us afterward that it was one of the most fun weddings they've ever been to, and no question it was in large part due to The Barnstorm. They were also great to interact with in the lead-up, super flexible with our plans, performed a special-request song for a surprise dance, and didn't even mind losing a few bucks to the groom in a late night game of dice. Nothing more to say except that they were amazing and I wish we could relive the whole experience again and again :-)

I was referred to Barnstorm by a friend who I know does fun really well- so had high expectations and they flat out delivered. Had them for a party and they were awesome. They had such great energy- and connected with the whole crowd in such a warm and real way. They have great range in terms of what they play- and did an unbelievable job of reading the crowd and knowing what to play. We had a diverse group in terms of ages at the party and they connected with all. They had everyone signing and dancing and they were having fun with all of us. I am still getting compliments from friends as to how great they were- would definitely recommend them.

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.
