a DREAM come true!

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we can’t imagine it without The Barnstorm. They were the heart and soul of our celebration! From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was alive with our closest friends and family, all having the time of their lives. I’ve known Cameron, Hunter, JR, and Brooks since way back in 2008, catching their acoustic sets at Brother Jimmy’s on the Upper East Side. Even then, I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding someday, and they truly made that dream a reality.

The Barnstorm brought so much warmth and intimacy to our ceremony by learning and playing the special songs we requested. Cameron’s instrumental version of "MMMBop" (yes, from Hanson!) and "You'll Never Walk Alone" for our family processional made the ceremony so personal and unique. And the reception? Pure joy from start to finish! Our “song” is "Simply the Best," and Cameron and JR worked together to blend the sweetness of the "Schitt’s Creek" version with Tina Turner’s iconic style—which made for an absolutely unforgettable first dance. They learned a rare Elvis tune for the dance with my dad, which meant the world to him, and several other songs that we requested, which really made our set list feel so customized and sentimental.

The dance floor was alive all night, with The Barnstorm perfectly reading the room and keeping the energy high. From millennial favorites to timeless classics, they knew exactly how to captivate everyone. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how incredible they were and how much fun they had! What truly sets The Barnstorm apart is their genuine connection with everyone in the room, all while making us feel like the stars of the night. They didn’t just play music; they crafted memories that we’ll cherish forever. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives, and we’re already counting down the days until we can see them rock out in NYC again!

Book this band!!

Booking The Barnstorm was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. This band absolutely made the night. Every person at our wedding was on the dance floor and did not leave the entire night. Their energy, vocals, and crowd work were unmatched. Guests are still telling us that this was the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding. In addition to talented, the entire band was so incredibly nice, and Brooks was so easy to work with. We cannot wait until we have the opportunity to see / party with the Barnstorm again. If you are thinking of booking them for your wedding, please do it. You will not regret it.

Simply the Best!

The Barnstorm is "simply the best"! They are super easy to work with and Brooks is very responsive and attentive to any special requests/ needs. It honestly felt like we were working with friends. From the first to the last song. the band brought the energy needed for an extremely fun wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and we had so many people coming up to us remarking on how awesome the band was. The new sax player was a great addition and absolutely crushed some Springsteen!
I highly recommend getting this band for your wedding. They made our day so special.
