Our guests cannot stop talking about the band!!!!!!

If I could give The Barnstorm Band more than five stars, I would!

They performed at our wedding on June 14 at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the elegant and heartfelt ceremony music to the last song of the night, they were phenomenal.

The dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing until the very end of the reception. They have an incredible ability to read the crowd, keep the energy high, and seamlessly transition between songs to keep everyone engaged and having the time of their lives. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had dancing all night.

What truly set The Barnstorm Band apart was their willingness to make our wedding feel uniquely ours. We are huge fans of Phish and Goose, and they actually learned songs specifically for our wedding. Not only did they learn them, but they absolutely nailed them! It was such a special and personal touch that meant the world to us and made the celebration even more memorable.

Beyond their musical talent, they were professional, responsive, easy to work with, and clearly passionate about what they do. They brought sophistication when the moment called for it and then turned the reception into an unforgettable party.

If you want a band that will wow your guests, keep the dance floor packed, and create memories that last a lifetime, book The Barnstorm Band immediately. They were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Amazing to work with, incredible to listen to!

I had the pleasure of working with Barnstorm at a recent wedding, and they were incredible from start to finish. As a planner and coordinator, I truly appreciated their professionalism, clear communication, and how easy they were to work with throughout the entire process.

When it came time to perform, they completely exceeded expectations. Their talent is outstanding, the energy was unmatched, and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. Even during shorter sets, they had guests rushing back to the dance floor. If I could give more than five stars, I would. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding band.

Hire the Barnstorm

The Barnstorm brought the energy the entire night. They truly make the party that much better. If you're looking to be on the dance floor all night with family & loved ones, I'd highly recommend the Barnstorm. On top of the amazing music, they light up the dance floor and interact with your guests, which makes it that much more memorable. And if you want specific songs, they'll learn it for you. Unbelievable group to work with.

Incredible Band!

The Barnstorm absolutely CRUSHED our wedding. From the first song to the last, the dance floor was packed and the energy never let up. They read the room perfectly, kept everyone engaged, and turned our reception into an unforgettable party. So many of our friends and family are still talking about how amazing they are (and we got married about a month ago!). We look forward to our next opportunity to see them perform!

I have seen the future of wedding bands and their name is The Barnstorm!

The Barnstorm is the greatest wedding and cover band of all time. I’m so grateful for having had the pleasure of engaging them for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. They created the energy of a packed nightclub in Vegas. They learned several songs for us and nailed them all. I have never experienced a wedding band go to such great lengths before and during the event to make it a warm special night. I seriously can’t speak highly enough of these guys. I have 3 more daughters and Im booking them now before the price goes up 🤪. Every single person was floored by their performance. One lady in her 80’s turns to me and says “These guys are on fire”! If you are considering a wedding band - you can’t go wrong. (Just don’t book them when I need them next)!

Barnstrom August Montauk Wedding

The barnstorm could not have been a better wedding band for us! I really appreciated how the band got to know us before by getting to know us as a couple and what our music taste was. When it came to the actual day the barnstorm could not have been better! They were really able to match the vibe of our guests and play all of our favorite songs. A highlight to my wedding night was getting to crowd surf to the song pink pony club! Again we could not have had a better experience with barnstorm. The one negative thing I can think of from the wedding weeping is guests wanted barnstorm to perform for longer!

Our wedding was the best concert!

The Barnstorm made our wedding the best concert ever! From the start their professionalism, prompt communication and accommodating nature blew us away. We asked for a few songs to be played that weren’t on their list and they were able to make our wedding song come to life- by the second song so many people came up to my husband and I saying they were the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding. We still get compliments to this day. They’ve made us feel like family and we were always in the best hands with all of them! For our wedding song a few weeks before they even sent us an acoustic version of the song so we could hear and practice our first dance. The level of thought and attention to detail is amazing and their talent is second to none. We can’t wait to go follow them around NYC because their energy is infectious and they were the highlight of one of the best days of our life!

10/4/25 Wedding

Our families don't really dance or sing, rock or jam…but from first note to last song, the incomparable Barnstorm had us all dancing and singing, rocking and jamming every moment they played. From acoustic guitar during the ceremony, jazz at cocktail hour, and a full out rock concert at the reception, the Barnstorm do it all so well. Take it from two newlyweds...you want the Barnstorm playing your wedding.

Thank you!!

We honestly can’t thank The Barnstorm enough for making our wedding night so amazing! They completely nailed the vibe we were hoping for and had everyone up dancing from the very first song to the very last. They played every song we requested, including our wedding dance song, which meant so much to us. It made the whole night feel so personal and special.
All our guests kept saying how amazing the band was, and we couldn’t agree more. They were super friendly, easy to work with, and just so much fun. You can really tell they love what they do.
If you’re thinking about booking The Barnstorm, don’t even hesitate—they’ll make your wedding unforgettable!
