Perfect Wedding!
Barry made our wedding absolutely perfect! Our family and friends wanted to dance right when reception started and Barry did not disappoint! He had them entertained and having fun all night long! Not only did Barry provide for an amazing day of, he also helped us tremendously with the timing of our ceremony and reception! We could not have asked for anything more for our wedding!

Barry is amazing!
We were so excited when we booked Barry as our Wedding DJ because we have always heard amazing things about him through our family and friends! All I can say is, Barry knows how to throw an unforgettable party! He is very professional in his work, which made the planning process easier and he knows how to run a whole wedding from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception smoothly! Also, he is not only a DJ, but a professional pianist, which is a major plus! We love Barry and we are very happy that he was a big part of our special day!

Talented & Professional DJ, Pianist & MC!
Barry was the DJ, pianist and MC at our August 2018 wedding ceremony and reception in Santa Barbara. We can't imagine a more professional, helpful and accommodating musician to work with for your wedding! We had heard Barry perform before, so we knew he would make the music at our wedding fantastic, but his professionalism and attention to detail blew us away - throughout the planning process and at our wedding.
1. Planning: Barry was easy to communicate with and made the planning process seamless with his organized process and by bringing up things we hadn't thought of - like special songs to accompany certain moments in our day. He also has top-of-the-line sound equipment and organized the best setup for all the different parts of our wedding.
2. Music: Barry is an exceptional pianist. He played classic and modern day hits on piano during our ceremony and dinner. Our guests were impressed with his piano talent and ability to read the crowd on the dance floor, which he kept packed with our guests through the entire night!
3. MC: Barry's ability to perfectly MC our event was so impressive. He kept us on track, checked in with us throughout the night, and made all the introductions and announcements for every key moment in our event.
It is so rare to find someone who is an equally amazing DJ, pianist and MC. Thank you, Barry, for making our wedding flawless and fun!

I found Barry at a bridal expo in Westlake, and he was willing to travel to the Central Coast for our wedding. The mixture of live music and DJ services was wonderful! It was so nice to have piano for the ceremony. He also did a great job of MCing the event, and making sure things went on schedule.

Barry was a spectacular DJ, Keyboardist and more! His keyboard playing was such a lovely and personal touch to our ceremony and he also played softly while everyone ate dinner. He was very flexible with my husband and my busy schedule in the planning phase - always so kind and helpful and PATIENT!! Our first meeting was very informative and personal - we got a live concert of his keyboard reportoir and extensive sampling of the music he has on hand! His equipment was top of the line and also provided great up lighting for the reception (he also has really fun dance floor lighting which we couldnt use). We already had a wedding coordinator but Barry very well could have been ours too! He was spot on with our timeline preparations and listened to our requests for music. He suggested so many great songs for different events throughout the evening, everything turned out perfectly! Barry was very reliable and I had no doubt that anything related to him would fall through. We couldn't have been happier with our ceremony and reception and all was due to Barry and his amazing work! Would highly recommend Barry as your DJ, entertainer, wedding coordinator, etc - he does it all!

Over the top!
Barry was our DJ and so much more when we were married 2 weeks ago! He provided great input to the wedding and reception and is an amazing pianist and entertaining DJ. He played the keyboard during the ceremony and was first class. During the reception he played our favorite songs and adapted to our guests and kept everyone on the dance floor. From keeping everything flowing smoothly to great music, Barry is the one you want!

Barry did an amazing job emceeing throughout our wedding! Most impressive was his beautiful piano playing while the bridal party walked down the aisle. Having live music before and after the ceremony as well as during dinner, definitely elevated the event, making it even more elegant. Beyond his incredible talent, Barry is also a wonderful person to work with. He was very thorough and detail oriented throughout the planning process, offering helpful suggestions that turned out wonderfully. He definitely went above and beyond to make our big day perfect. We highly recommend Barry to all!

Barry was our DJ/MC at our wedding back in July of 2015. Man, what a find. He was amazing. Barry is a really nice guy, has been doing this a long time and really knows what he's doing. He was always readily available to answer any questions that we might of had. He has a great ability to "read" the crowd and get a feel for what everyone is ready to hear (music wise)...i.e., maybe the crowd looks a little tired so it's time to play a slower song to help people get their energy back. His piano playing is second to none. He is an AMAZING musician. We had him play piano during our cocktail hour and it was just fantastic.
Not only was Barry our DJ he was also our MC. He was really great at keeping the our reception on schedule. From the opening entrance, to getting everyone to sit down for dinner, to cake cutting, to dancing, etc...
All in all, Barry is a GREAT DJ, Piano player, and MC. We looked at many other DJs and were very glad we went with him. I can not recommend Barry more. Seriously, if you're looking at DJs for your wedding, stop...Barry is the man for the job...focus on other things :-)

My husband and I had a very tight budget for our wedding. When we met Barry I knew he was out of our budget but I was immediately hooked by his professionalism and people pleasing attitude. He was ready to do absolutely everything to make my wedding perfect. From bringing a hands-free mic and speaker for the outdoor ceremony to planning the entire order of events at the reception. I had met with multiple DJs who were near the same price range but just wanted a list of songs that I wanted played and that was the extent of their involvement: no asking what vibe I was looking for at the reception, what were the age groups of the guests, etc. Barry was definitely worth every penny and even my husband who grimaced at the large amount we were paying told me after the wedding that it was the most enjoyable and fun wedding he had ever been to- all thanks to Barry. :)

Loved Barry! He was absolutely amazing for a DJ and so incredibly talented. My husband and I wanted to have a live band but unfortunately we discovered that it was not in our budget. However, we met Barry and instantly were sold. He was so unbelievably talented on the Piano which made up for our original request.
Then after his piano playing, we had a "do not play" list and he actually adhered to my request! No YMCA and other similar songs and he honored it! Even when people did request it!
Barry is amazing, very professional and I have nothing but great things to say!
