The Barnstorm 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Ocean, NJ

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Barnstorm isn't a "wedding" band. They're a band. A really great band. And that makes them the best wedding band, in our opinion. We went to one of their live shows before booking them to play at our wedding and we knew immediately they were perfect. The band is 7 guys who you would want to be friends with -- which makes them blend in seamlessly at a wedding. Their range of songs is awesome. Everyone raved about their playlist, including a few of our guests who are huge music snobs. They also did an awesome job of getting everyone involved. People were dancing, singing along, even getting a second or two on the mic. It was like having a private live show at our wedding, which we loved and all of our guests loved. The vibe is much better than other wedding bands we've seen. On top of that they were incredibly easy to work with and accommodating. Brooks never made us feel bad for requesting songs, no matter how random, and they learned anything we asked them to that they had the right instruments for. Overall it was an awesome experience and we could not possibly recommend them enough. If every wedding we go to in the future has Barnstorm as the band, we'll be thrilled.

We understand the time, heart and dedication that goes into planning a wedding. Making sure that every single detail shows a reflection of your love for each other in the most unique and beautiful way. Capturing your wedding day cinematically while highlighting the raw emotion and candid moments is our top priority. If you truly care about having a beautiful film with gorgeous cinematography, we will be a match made in heaven.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anthony is outstanding. What he creates is beyond anything you could have ever imagined. 100000% would recommend him time and time again. He is attentive and quick to respond to you. His attention to detail is beyond words. He was able to capture moments that my photographer could not. Honestly, I screen shotted some of his still frames from the teaser and sent those out to family. Where do I even start with the teaser, the highlight film, and feature film. I feel like no words can really do it justice to describe what he created. It's one thing to showcase the important moments of your wedding, but to do it in a way that you (as the bride) are jealous of the bride and groom in the video, that's crazy. I was jealous of my own wedding. Like he made us look famous... how the heck! Its wild. He also chose and edited the film in a way that was so unique compared to the other wedding films that he had created. It was perfect. I kept asking him, "how did you pick that song? how did you know that song encompassed our vibe?" He said the song was perfect for the atmosphere, he took the essence of the day and the vibe and energy from everyone and showcased it the best he could, as much he could, in that short 1 min teaser. Literally I was floored. I don't know how he captured so many intimate moments, it was like he was a ninja with the camera. And I don't know if you are self-conscious and anxious like me, but having a videographer that you are comfortable with, is everything. He hyped us up, made us feel confident, all while not being too in your face. Anthony is the best, his artwork will floor you, and he truly is the best investment of your wedding.

It was awesome working with Eugene!! The results were exactly not what we intended or planned, they were actually MUCH BETTER. My husband and I had a set place, but due to unforeseen events, we had to sort of improvise And change our photography setting, but thankfully Eugene has an eye for these things, and found much more beautiful spot! My husband and I love the fact that Eugene was not rigid, but he was very flexible with us which help us be more comfortable with him. If you were doubting, that’s fine, but not with Eugene Krasnaok. Your time and money is safe with him.

We went out to Robert Moses beach to shoot our engagement shot, it was easy to meet up and communicate with him. He was very professional, and it was a breeze to do business. The contract signing went without a hitch. Ive posted our engagement shoot photos so you can get a good idea of the quality.

Avec Lamour! I cannot say enough about the services that are executed. Avec Lamour captured our wedding day recently this past October, 2023. The videos were so beautiful it was all my wife and I could ever hope for. We had the pleasure of working closely with John Hill (owner of Avec Lamour) a talented cinematographer. When searching for a videographer I personally knew that I did want my wedding day to be captured and documented much differently than the usual wedding videos seen today. Although beautiful, my wife and I agreed to have more of a cinematic approach. We shortly came across John Hill, a wonderful cinematographer with the skills to capture the happiest day of our lives and turn it into cinematic art. A love story that captures all viewers attention and one my wife and I will cherish forever. Our overall experience working with John was exceptional! Heidi is a very cool down to earth guy that really gets your vision. John is timely in responses and the delivery of the finalized product took only just a short few weeks we were so thrilled! We highly recommend Avec Lamour to capture your special day especially if you are wanting a cinematic experience!!

I worked with Intan Sahrini for hair and makeup and she did a wonderful job on both! I’d never had my hair done before because I didn’t trust that hair stylists would know what to do with my curly hair. Intan did a glamorous updo using my natural curl and helped me achieve the vague vision I had using inspiration photos. I also wear minimal makeup in daily life but Intan was able to make me look like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day. She mixed a special lip color and placed individual lashes all to make sure my vision was achieved! Highly recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was love at first sight when I found Blooming Faith Photography on Zola! I was struck by the classic style of the portraits and natural air of those being photographed. It was exactly what I was looking for! Melissa was quick to respond to my inquiry and provided all the info I needed right off the bat. She is detailed and thorough in her correspondence and planning, which I appreciated since we only had 5 months to plan our wedding long distance. She offered an introductory Zoom consultation to discuss our vision for the photos so we could feel at ease leading up to the actual day. When the time came, Melissa was the consummate professional! We did a First Look shoot, and she lead the way completely, to avoid any awkward mishaps and to insure we got the moment captured on our video as well. All of our formal photos were posed beautifully and naturally, and she timed it all perfectly (which was great, because it was quite cold!) She’s also great with kids! Our flower girl and ring bearer had a great time doing photos. At both the ceremony and reception, Melissa didn’t miss a single moment yet remained respectful and discreet. Her experience and expertise is obvious! And the photos that we’ve seen so far have been absolutely gorgeous. Timeless and sophisticated while still capturing the joy from that day. And as a human being, we couldn’t have asked for a kinder soul to capture everything for us. Melissa’s warmth and care brought the whole experience to another level. My husband and I were blessed to have found Blooming Faith Photography!

Hey there! I’m Kat, an emotive and conceptual photographer, melding candid, fine art, and photojournalist styles. One of the biggest joys I get out of photography is the magic of the moments themselves. To be able to present those moments to the clients, to treasure forever –especially if they didn’t even notice I caught it– brings a huge smile to my face. I pour my energy into making it the best experience I can for my clients. Sessions are about the experience, photos are just the icing on top! I strongly believe in the photos not looking forced, but the client doing what comes naturally to them. I want you to be yourself and have fun.

I cannot say enough positive things about Kat! All I wanted as a bride were beautiful photos, captured memories and an easy day. Kat ensured all of those things came true. She was able to corral my family so effortlessly for group photos as well as come up with great ideas/location spots for us! Amazing and fast communication through every step of the way, all while being super kind and friendly; I felt so relaxed by her presence! And of course…the pictures are just beautiful! She started uploading them so quickly after the wedding too, as well as preparing our keepsake USB and making sure every detail was exactly what I wanted. Book with Kat for your wedding, seriously!

We had an amazing experience with this photo & video team! Stanley and Allie were fantastic to work with, and Matt and Armando did an incredible job on our wedding day.
