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 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!
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 was instrumental in making our wedding a huge success. We wanted traditional music for the ceremony but we also wanted our guests to dance afterward, and Stan satisfied all of those requirements. He also acted as MC and helped the whole event run smoothly. Our guests had a great time and so did we. Thanks Stan!
My wife, Jillian and I loved working with Stan. He is so friendly, accommodating, professional, and of course, talented. DJ Mike was incredible as well. Stan and company brought class, sophistication, and an energy to our wedding that exceeded our expectations. Can’t say enough great things about Stan Wiest!
Stan has provided the musical entertainment for our company holiday parties for over 20 years. Obviously, we love him. His professionalism, talent and entertainment knowledge assures us our events will be enjoyed by all.
Stan was wonderful to work with. We used his company for ceremony and cocktail hour music. Both were very reasonable and fantastic performers. We are still getting compliments on our music options. Thank you to Stan for running a professional and efficient company and for having great performers.
Stan was great! He took his time and explained everything to us. Stan made sure he had all the music we wanted for our wedding. Very knowledgeable! Thank you!
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

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. Would love to find an excuse to use him again for something in the future:)

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

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
