We absolutely recommend Barry Herman Entertainment! We can't say enough about their professionalism, knowledge, guidance, time and help in making our wedding so special. Their band Fantasy played at our wedding (10-piece band) and they were absolutely incredible. Our dance floor was packed and they performed every single song we wanted- and they sounded amazing! From first meeting with Barry a year ago- until our wedding a few days ago- Barry and his team were so helpful, patient, and responsive. We can't say enough about them- and highly recommend them! Our guests could not stop talking about how great the band was!

Barry Herman Entertainment's trio and the band Sterling truly nailed everything for our wedding! Every request we put in between the trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour and the band was honored! Barry's team was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding. It was an amazing experience for both my husband and myself, our families and our loved ones that attended- family and friends are STILL talking about the band well over a year later. They got EVERYONE on the dance floor! Some individuals choose to go with a DJ because they are unsure whether a band can deliver the same as an original song but Sterling's performances sounded better than any prerecorded tracks! I cannot thank Barry Herman enough for making our wedding so memorable and holding true to what they promised. We had some glitches with our other vendors but not with Barry (they went beyond all expectations) ! I hope to be able to use Barry Herman Entertainment again and would highly recommend Sterling to anyone looking for a superb band!!

We used the band Cashmere for our wedding, and they were AWESOME!! They got our guests on the dance floor and kept them there all night long. They played a wide range of genres and sounded great for each song that they played. They took requests throughout the day, which our guest loved. We have friends that are still talking about our band 2 months later!

We hired DJ Hunter for our reception, and he was GREAT! Everyone raved about how he mixed slow and dance songs throughout the reception to keep everyone on the dance floor, and that's exactly what happened! We also hired the harp and flute for our ceremony, which sounded beautiful :) We enjoyed working with Barry Herman (and that's mostly who we talked to with planning), he's very accommodating and attentive to his clients. I actually ended up calling him on vacation by accident (oops!), but he still called the office and took care of my request as soon as he returned. We would recommend Barry Herman in a heartbeat, there's a reason he's been in business for over 50 years!

Barry Herman was a preferred vendor from our venue and we are so glad that we found him. Barry was great about answering questions and being honest when it came to song choice. I appreciated that as well as the ease of his online portal for logistics. The band was fantastic and kept the dance floor packed all night. The flow of the evening was just as I imagined it and I couldn't have been happier with the entertainment. The singers interacted with my guests and we just loved the performance!

We learned of Barry Herman Entertainment from our venue, as they were one of the preferred vendors. We met with Barry and shared some songs that were important to have played, so that he could get a feel for our style. Barry showed us highlights from 2 bands, and we ended up choosing Fantasy. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about how great the music was. My aunt even said she was sore the next day from all the dancing she did! We especially enjoyed our introduction music, an instrumental version of Springsteen's 10th Avenue Freeze Out. We also had a couple of musicians for the cocktail hour, which made for a really nice ambiance. We had high expectations of Fantasy, and they definitely exceeded them. I would recommend Fantasy to anyone looking for a talented, professional band, that will keep guests on the dance floor the entire evening.

After many appointments with wedding bands, a friend suggested I contact BARRY HERMAN ENTERTAINMENT
The ceremony music was beautiful. Everyone loved the mariachi band at the cocktail hour, they all had so much fun listening and dancing to the music.

And of course the band “INFINITY” was incredible. We barely made it around the tables to visit with everyone because they were all on the dance floor the entire night! I don't think there was a time when it was remotely empty. The music was great, and the songs they played really got everyone dancing. Every guest complimented the music, and some people said they had not danced that much in years!
You can be sure we will recommend you at every opportunity

We used Barry Herman Entertainment at our wedding at The Plaza in NYC and it was a hard choice to decide which of their bands to use. They were all so good and sounded so authentic, but we chose Infinity and they were great !! They kept all my friends and my parents friends up dancing the entire night. Barry Herman's office made it easy to give them all my details (even though I kept changing them!) Thanks to all of them, I had the best wedding ever !!
