Happy mother of the bride!

I am the mother of the bride. The Stu Hirsh Orchestra played at my daughter's wedding on March 23, 2019. They made the wedding. People of all ages were dancing the night away. The choice of music made everybody happy. The dance floor was always full. Stu worked well with my daughter. He was prompt and answered all questions right away. They'd knew just when to participate with the guests. Their version of “Shout” is fantastic! It was really a fun filled night and Stu Hirsh was a big part of it. I would strongly recommend them for your event. Couldn't ask for anything better. Fun, fun and more fun!!!!!

Nothing but the best!

The Stu Hirsh Orchestra rocked the house at my wedding. I am from out of state so I had never seen the band perform live before, except for watching their videos. Well I can tell you that they were great. My husband and I didn't leave the dance floor the whole night and neither did any of my guests. They made my wedding truly memorable and I can not thank them enough for their amazing job! My guests are still talking about the unbelievable dance party that was put on at the wedding and I owe that all to Stu and the band’s performance.
I would book this band again in a heartbeat without hesitation!!

Thank you, thank you!

We used the Stu Hirsh Orchestra for our wedding. We used the 9 piece band. The reception was in a smaller room and Stu convinced us that there was no need for a larger band and he was correct! Stu and the band kept the party going, learned our songs and even people asked for "one more song" at the end of the night! And of course, they played one more song! If you choose the Stu Hirsh Orchestra you are in good hands and your guests will be talking about how fun your wedding was!

Fantastic wedding entertainment

Going into choosing a wedding band, I was lost. It was the one thing that I was supposed to do 😊. I was starting from scratch. After a careful search, it was clear that the Stu Hirsh Orchestra was a great value. However, it wasn't until leading up to the wedding and the actual day of the wedding that I ended up even more satisfied than expected. Stu was professional and helpful from the first second I contacted him. There was no sales pitch, no push, and no need to negotiate. He genuinely showed that he wanted his band to be a part of our wedding. He was understanding of the many details we were hoping for, and gave great advice on making the day perfection.
We were pleased with all aspects of our wedding, but the #1 complement I got time and time again, was the band. They had great song selection, great musicians, and kept everyone having fun from beginning to end.

Thank you Stu and the band for a memorable experience. I would absolutely suggest them to friends and family!

Would 100% Recommend!!!

Without a doubt, one of the high points of our daughter’s wedding was Stu Hirsh’s fabulous music. Somehow Stu spanned the generations’ musical tastes so that everyone was happy and danced, danced, danced. Our age group really appreciated how you kept the sound level down during dinner so that people could talk, rather than shout, to their table companions. Obviously, our daughter’s friends really enjoyed it when you cranked up the tempo. We very much appreciate how significantly the Stu Hirsh Orchestra contributed to making one of the most important events in our lives so special.

Thank you Stu Hirsh!

The Stu Hirsh Band was the highlight of our wedding reception! When we first started planning our wedding, we decided to make having live music one of our top priorities. We had seen Stu at a friend’s wedding, and we are SO glad that we hired them! All 220 of our guests -- as well as my wife and I -- packed the dance floor all night long! The sound, music choice, and energy of the band were absolutely unbeatable. Since our wedding (more than a year ago), we have received countless compliments on the band from our guests. We had the time of our lives at our wedding, and Stu Hirsh played a critical part in making that night unforgettable!

Yes yes and yes!!!

Stu and his orchestra were amazing to work with. Very professional and organized. The band was a HUGE hit at our wedding. Everyone was on the dance floor from the beginning of the night. Guests were out on the floor even before dinner was served – we chose “New York Style” with dancing in between courses. They really read the crowd and played music to what everyone was loving. The guitarist and saxophonist were excellent during our cocktail hour. Having the wedding on a Sunday meant that Stu also included a discounted price!!! We will 100% be recommending them to everyone.

Excellent band

As Father of the Bride, normally I would merely hand the band an envelope and nothing more. But in this instance I feel compelled to compliment Stu Hirsh and his orchestra. My wife and I (and as best I could tell, everyone else as well) were extraordinarily pleased with Stu, the other musicians in his group and their music. His piano music during cocktails was just right. The beautiful and quiet music of the orchestra during dinner was just what we wanted, enabling us to carry on conversations while enjoying the music in the background. And the selection, mix and reasonable decibel level of the post-dinner dance music was excellent. The kids loved it and the dance floor was full from start to finish. Stu was a complete professional and handled the introductions and toasts with tact, good timing and accuracy. We have received many compliments from our guests on the music at the wedding. We highly recommend the Stu Hirsh Orchestra!

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Best decision ever

Stu Hirsh Orchestra was amazing! People were on the dance floor all night long. They played a variety of music and sensed perfectly when to play what. It was so much fun and I still have friends and family tell us how incredible the band was. We were so glad to book this vendor and can not recommend them enough.

One of the best decisions we made!

Stu Hirsh and his band made our reception incredible! Everyone we know continues to talk about how wonderful the music was and how it made the day! And our wedding was in June of 2019!! People were dancing to every song up until the very end, which was amazing. The band made our wedding day truly memorable. We would recommend Stu to everyone we know!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
