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

 “THE KNOT” REVIEW OCT 4, 2020

We were lucky enough to book Stan Wiest as the piano player at our intimate COVID-era wedding reception, and his music single-handedly (double?) elevated the ambience to match the sense of celebration of a large, more formal wedding. Stan is a gentleman, a consummate professional, and, most importantly, an extremely talented solo pianist (for those who know the reference, think Carmen Cavallaro in musical style and dexterity). Stan played enjoyable classics and all our songs requests seamlessly from cocktail hour through to cake cutting with just a few short breaks. As a testament to his musical prowess, we requested the showstopper “Bumble Boogie” as the last song, and Stan performed it flawlessly after hours of playing. It was a privilege to have a musician of his caliber at our event, which makes it easy for us to recommend Stan Wiest to anyone looking to make their night “unforgettable.” A class act! You will not find better.

Stan arranged the music for my daughter’s wedding and my wife and I could not be happier with all that he provided. He, himself played piano during the cocktail hour and provide a string quartet for the church. The musicians and DJ for the affair were outstanding. Stan is a very professional and all around great person to work with…. No regrets.. The Best.. Great value for the money..

From our first contact to the end of the festivities, we couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our wedding than Stan. He was able to satisfy our desire for traditional music for the ceremony and upbeat dance music afterwards. In addition, he acted as MC and helped the event flow smoothly. Stan is definitely the whole package

Stan was an absolute delight. He took the time to learn 2 songs for our wedding ceremony and really knocked it out of the park. The ceremony wouldn’t have been as beautiful without Stan’s personal touch.

Excellent experience using Stan. Starting with the reasonable price, the flexibility and attention to detail. They deliver what they promise and more… last minute I requested Science themed backgrounds for the green screen… the ones I provided were not compatible so they worked diligently to customize them and somehow made it work and did not charge me for the extra work. A pleasure to work with… accommodating and I highly recommend them.

Working with Stan was the easiest and best decision we made while planning our wedding. Stan is very professional and easy to work with. His knowledge of not only music for ceremony and reception but also of wedding planning in general is unmatched. He has been in this business for a long time and it shows in the connections he has made and the service he is able to provide. For our wedding, Stan provided us with the most beautiful string quartet for our ceremony, the most amazing DJ and percussionist for our reception and he himself played piano at our cocktail hour. Not only was Stan the most professional and accessible out of all our our wedding vendors, he truly tries to connect with his brides on a more personal level and you don’t feel like just another client which is so important. Stan caters to the specifics of what you want for your wedding which was so important to us and he was able to deliver a truly unique musical selection to our preferences. We cannot say enough amazing things about Stan and hands down choosing him as your music vendor will be the best decision you make during the wedding planning process. Thank you Stan, for all you do and for making our wedding unforgettable!

THE NEW YORK TIMES FEATURED AN ARTICLE/INTERVIEW WITH STAN WIEST  ON HELPING WEDDINGS, CORPORATIONS, FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES AND PARTIES WITH EMERGENCY MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT  NEEDS.

 

THE NEW YORK TIMES by MICHAEL WINERIP                            “Need A Singer Fast? Stan Wiest Can Help”

The phone rang once, Stan Wiest grabbed it and started scribbling notes madle. “So this is an emergency situation?” he said, O.K how can I help you, Phil? O.K.you want a strolling accordion? Right.You want this tonight at 7? O.K. you need the person to also sing in Italian? O.K”

Mr.Wiest, a specialist in emergency entertainment- flipped his Rolodex and called one of his performers.

Time flies in the emergency entertainment business. Mr.Wiest is a pianist, band leader,booking agent for hundreds of acts,but his most prized talent this time of year is his ability to produce an entertainer in a pinch. If someone got Broadway Danny Rose organized, moved him to the suburbs and speeded him  up to fast-forward that would be Stan Wiest.

Mr.Wiest handles emergency entertainment for several Fortune 500 companies, but will not identify them publicly. “They’re the kind of places thaqt don’t like to admit they have emergencies” he said.  (exerpt from lengthy New York Times article).
