Stan was absolutely wonderful to work with. Everything went as expected for our wedding on 10/16/21. Stan played for our ceremony and cocktail hour all of our favorite songs. Our DJ was absolutely wonderful and easy going. The photo booth was everyone's favorite part and left us with so many wonderful memories!

My niece was married Saturday. Because of the Covid situation, there was no music at the reception. I made an emergency request to Stan Wiest to see if he could help out. He was! He was there within the hour to provide lovely music. He also provided the microphones for the best man and maid of honor speeches. Stan is an extremely talented musician. The music was perfect. It is so nice to know that there are people out there that are willing to drop everything to help others. I can not thank Stan enough. I highly recommend him. VERY PROFESSIONAL!

I can't say enough good things about Stan Wiest. A consummate professional and all around great person to work with. Anytime we had questions about anything, he got back to us in a timely manner and always worked with us to make sure we were happy. His musical skill is top notch as well, and he knew exactly the right things to play to make our wedding a special day. You can't go wrong with Stan - Stan's the man!

We were honored that Stan Wiest was able to be our pianist at our wedding. From start to finish his playing was magical. All of our guests ranted and raved about how professional and enchanting the music was. Stan exceeded our expectations and we would choose him time and time again. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas Wedding filled with music that only a talented pianist such as Stan could pull off. If you're looking for a pianist for your wedding or big event, Stan is the man! Thanks again Stan.
