About The Barnstorm

The Barnstorm

Booking Manager

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.

Along with providing emcee services, The Barnstorm is also ready, willing, & able to handle your ceremony music as well as cocktail hour music, if needed. Aside from their on-stage chemistry and ability to get any crowd on the dance floor, one thing that sets The Barnstorm apart is their immersive light show production. You would honestly think you're at a legit live concert at Madison Square Garden. If you want the most epic dance party wedding reception... If you want to have your family and guests on the dance floor all night long... If you want a band that's always going to go that extra mile for you... The Barnstorm is your band.

    The Barnstorm was the talk of our wedding! The energy they brought to the reception and their amazing sound had everyone on the dance floor all night long. They really cared about making sure our special day was exactly what we wanted - thank you Barnstorm!!

    The Barnstorm COMPLETELY exceeded our expectations and was hands down the highlight of our wedding! I can't tell you how many guests told us it was the best wedding band they'd ever seen - and we wholeheartedly agree. Part of what set them apart was their fresh, unique setlist. Every song was recognizable and kept the dance floor packed all night, but they managed to avoid the "same old same old" that seems to plague wedding bands. Their song choices felt thoughtful and exciting while still being crowd-pleasers. Beyond their incredible talent (the videos truly don't do them justice), the whole band is so kind, down-to-earth, and engaging. They seemed genuinely excited to be there and be part of our special day, not just going through the motions. They struck the perfect balance - incredibly talented without taking themselves too seriously. They got the crowd involved in really fun ways, including having one of our friends playing with the drummer for a good chunk of their set! Honestly, we went back and forth on whether we could justify the cost, but hiring The Barnstorm turned out to be the best decision we made for our wedding. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Definitely book them if you can!

    The Barnstorm was, from start to finish, so much more than we could’ve imagined. When we started searching for a wedding band, the Barnstorm stood out because of their communication. Brooks (and team) made it so easy to get a feel for the band, and we quickly knew they were our choice! Any time we had questions, and we had a lot, they were answered clearly and effectively, which really helped put us at ease. Planning everything else was stressful, but The Barnstorm’s communication and warmth really made us confident going into the day. The band was not only incredibly professional and organized but also open and fun to work with. They took the time to learn our first dance song and performed it beautifully, making that moment unforgettable. Every song they played absolutely crushed, and the party did not stop from the second they started. Classics? They rocked it. Songs that came out weeks before our wedding? Amazing. Some surprises that made everyone really lose it? Absolutely. The Barnstorm definitely didn’t sound like a “wedding band”; they were a full-blown concert experience for us, complete with JC jumping into the crowd getting everyone involved. The Barnstorm really did make our wedding day exceptional, and guests still talk about them to this day! The best recommendation I can say is that we have had multiple couples at our wedding ask us for their contact information for their own weddings, and without hesitation we’ve recommended The Barnstorm. Reach out; you absolutely won't regret it! IF

    The barnstorm absolutely rocked! From the first song to the last, they had every single guest—young and old—out on the dance floor all night. Our wedding was their first time playing at our venue, and you never would have known it; they sounded incredible and brought the house down. Their production team is top-notch, and even our venue coordinator was raving about how professional and easy they were to work with. On top of that, they went the extra mile and learned our first dance and parent songs just for us, performing them live—which meant the world. Add in their live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was the perfect soundtrack to the best day of our lives. If you want your wedding to feel like the best concert of your life, book them immediately. Our guests, even those who are musicians themselves and the ones that previously claimed they “don’t dance at weddings”, raved about how great they were.
