    Amazing musician!

    Johnny was so great for our ceremony music! I didn’t want to use a DJ for our ceremony so I was searching for a musician. I had a specific song in mind to walk down the aisle to, and Johnny took the request and it was perfect. Guests loved the ukulele and piano, also commenting on his beautiful singing.

    Cindy, thank you so much for the nice review. It was an honor to perform for your wedding! Wishing you both all the best. -Johnny

    The best ever!

    John did an amazing job as the pianist for our wedding ceremony. He was able to customize two of our favorite songs and it all came out so beautifully! John is the perfect musical addition to our day and we would highly recommend working with him!

    Beautiful music and very responsive!

    Johnny provided the music for our wedding ceremony at St. Thomas More in Morristown, NJ. It was a pleasure working with him as we planned out our big day, and he had a lot of valuable advice as we sorted out our song selections. On the day of the wedding, the music was beautiful! Johnny made every part of the process easy with his friendly demeanor and knowledge of his craft. We’re very grateful for his help in making our wedding such a special day!

    It was just perfect and exactly what we wanted!

    From the moment we received our first email back from Johnny, we knew we were booking him! Not only was he responsive, friendly and professional, but he also included 2 sound clips of him playing the ukulele/singing our requested ceremony songs immediately! His renditions were so unique and beautiful. Hearing him play what we specifically asked for, before even booking him, made our choice that much easier. Both my mother (walking me down the aisle) and my now husband cried tears of joy, as soon as he started "Just Breathe". I couldn't help but sing along both times walking up and down the aisle too! He also played the piano during our cocktail hour and included all of our favorite songs and artists, which ranged from Eddie Vedder to Elton John to Boyz II Men! Everyone complimented how great he was and loved our music choices. I wish we could have another wedding, just to hire him again! Thanks, Johnny for sharing your talent with us!

    Wonderful!

    Johnny was very professional and accommodating from the start of the process and throughout- playing our favorite songs. His vocals and instruments were perfect for our ceremony, cocktail hour and first dance. Beautiful music and a very unique and fun touch to our wedding. We and our guests won't forget it any time soon!

    Incredible musician and wonderful to work with

    We had the pleasure of working with Johnny for our intimate wedding ceremony in Oct. 2020 (ukulele/vocal) as well as for our larger postponed wedding ceremony (ukulele/vocal with violinist) and cocktail hour (piano/vocal) in Oct. 2021. Throughout the planning and rescheduling process, Johnny was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and creative in sending us samples and helping us select music that would be meaningful for the ceremony and fun for the cocktail hour. For our second ceremony, Johnny even coordinated with a separate vendor of ours (violinist) to ensure that they would be in sync for the day. I can't recommend Johnny Herbert highly enough for your live music needs!

    Awesome musician!

    Johnny made my daughters Wedding Ceremony one that will not be forgotten. The music was beautiful and his voice gave everyone chills. He was very professional in organizing the music, very easy to reach out to for recommendations. I highly recommend his services and look forward to using him again for other events!

    Thanks for the kind works Anita. It was an honor to perform for your daughter's wedding ceremony. Wishing you and your family all the best. -Johnny

    Absolutely fantastic

    We hired Johnny for our wedding at the Water Witch June 5, 2021. Originally it was set for 2020 but... covid. He was amazing not only as a performer (seriously - he's great) but also a pleasure to work with professionally through the entire process. Don't hesitate - book him now before someone else does.

    Johnny is a must have on your wedding day!

    We hired Johnny to play during our Ceremony and for cocktail hour. It was one of the best decisions we made for the day. His music (ukulele and vocals) during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He was on the keys for cocktail hour and entertained with some classics and big-band music (e.g. Frank Sinatra). Hearing that my wife was a big Disney fan during our vows, Johnny switched to a Disney playlist halfway through cocktail hour and it was a HIT! The true sign of an top-notch musician is someone who can read the audience and adapt on the fly. Weeks later, our guests still rave about Johnny and tell us we should have hired him to play longer. (We agree!)

    Johnny was the ultimate professional throughout the entire process, from planning to the day of. He had a meeting with us to go over our music preferences and work through the flow of the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny for your special day - you'll be glad you do.

    Amazing! Perfection!

    Johnny was the best. Super professional and patient. We could not have asked for anything better and he did a very special rendition of our song that I'll never forget. Thank you so much for adding a special touch to our day.

    Amazing musician!

    Johnny made our big day so special with his wonderful uke, piano, and vocal music. He offers a unique sound, and all of our guests were beyond thrilled to listen to his music. Johnny was extremely responsive, professional, and was able to take our ideas and run with them! He is a true artist.

    Consummate musical professional

    Johnny learned more than a few songs for our wedding. We are soooooooo glad we hired him! He made our vision of surprising lounge music (rap, metal, rock) come true for our cocktail hour. And he absolutely enchanted our guests from minute 1 with his amazing ukelele, piano and singing skills. We also wound up hiring his friend for violin accompaniment. He also learned our recessional song, from a lesser known band Cloud Cult. His entire repertoire for our wedding was the perfect blend of everything we love musically and we will never forget how special he made our day.

    Thanks for the very nice review Diana. I'm so happy to hear that you loved the music.. you picked some great songs! Wishing you all the best. -Johnny

    The Shiff Wedding

    Johnny’s performance during our ceremony was absolutely amazing. He was ready and willing to learn special songs for us which meant the world to me. Our guests could not stop talking about how unique our ukulele player was and they have never seen one at a wedding before. My only wish is that we could have had more time to watch him play as we were busy getting married ha!

    Perfect Soundtrack for our day

    Johny was truly amazing from start to finish. He was super easy to work with, was fantastic at responding to emails and requests from us. The soundtrack he provided for our day was absolutely amazing, he even learnt new songs for us which weren't in his already impressive repertoire. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Hire him whilst you can, you wont regret it!!!!!

    Absolutely Made the Day

    Johnny was WONDERFUL to work with. He not only worked with us to for the playlist for the evening (ceremony and cocktail hour) but he emailed back and forth with us about our first dance, and send us samples of it so we could practice. He was thorough, communicative, and just so so easy to work with. Not to mention he is a stellar ukulele player! We had him play all uke, but his piano skills are just as impressive. We received so many compliments on the music during both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone we talked to said his playing "set the mood" and complimented his voice. My only regret is we didn't get to hear more of his fabulous playing!!!! If you're looking for live music, whether you need something to set a tropical mood, or someone to play some jazzy pop tunes, I promise you will not be disappointed with Johnny. Payment was easy and he sent clear and concise contracts over. Highly highly recommend him!!

    Johnny Herbert's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words Mikayla. I'm so glad you and Ben loved the music for your ceremony, cocktail hour and first dance. It was truly an honor! Wishing you all the best. -Johnny

    Crowd Pleaser

    Johnny Herbert was such a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to make our day special. He is a great, friendly communicator and followed up with us throughout the planning process. He was willing to let us control as much as we wanted, but we gave him carte blanche to make decisions about what to play. It’s one of the best decisions we made! In my husband’s vows he referenced “I Want to Grow Old with You” from The Wedding Singer, and Johnny was so attentive that he decided on the spot to play that song as we walked out. So many of our guests said how sweet they thought that was and were so surprised when we told them we had not planned it. We did not want to do the traditional loud DJ music so we hired him for our ceremony and reception to make it more “us.” So many of our guests went out of their way to contact us after the wedding to say how much they enjoyed his music and the vibe he was able to create in the room. He is so talented and so personable. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Johnny is so professional, easy to work with, and talented. We received so many compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed his music. Having him perform our first dance song made that moment even more special!

    We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Johnny play for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding. When we heard his sample music on his website, we knew right away he would be the perfect addition to our wedding. Johnny was so accommodating and easy to work with. He was very flexible with song requests and even learned the song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to just for us. It was absolutely perfect. He met with us before the big day to play some samples and was so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Johnny to play for your wedding or any occasion!

    Johnny went above and beyond for our wedding! We hired him to play ukulele for our ceremony and piano for our cocktail hour and could not have been happier. We had a ton of compliments from our guests mentioning how great he was. Johnny nailed all of our requests, including twinkle twinkle little star from our flower girl at the cocktail hour, which made her so happy. He was excellent to work with leading up to the wedding and so quick to send sample recordings of our ceremony special requests. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks Johnny!!

    Johnny was a pleasure to work with from the first time I reached out to him. He responded promptly and provided an amazing sample of a favorite song of ours within hours - we were blown away. Johnny worked with us on finding the right blend of music for cocktail hour and learned different songs we wanted to hear. The ukulele added the perfect touch to our outdoor wedding ceremony. On top of being an incredible musician and having an amazing voice, Johnny has an incredibly professional demeanor. We couldn’t be happier with our ceremony and cocktail music and couldn’t recommend Johnny enough!

    We really liked Johnny's samples so we reached out to him about playing at our wedding in May. His responses were always almost instantaneous. He sent over a sample of an additional song we requested which was great (we ended up choosing it for one of our prelude songs). We had him play a mixture of songs on ukulele and piano for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests and us loved his music, it really added such a nice touch and I'm so happy with our decision to hire him. His rates are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend him. Thanks again Johnny!

    We can't say enough about Johnny and what his music added to our wedding day. We were blown away by his talent and professionalism. His communication was excellent before, during, and after the ceremony. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed his performance and said " how did you find him, he's AMAZING!"

    We hired Johnny to play at my grandmother's memorial service. "Over the Rainbow" is one of my grandfather's favorite songs and we just fell in love with Johnny's rendition on his ukulele. During such a stressful and sad time, Johnny made working with him effortless. Like a true professional, he found out where he needed to be and arrived early to set up and make sure all of his equipment worked as it should in the church. His performance was moving and had the assembled mourners in tears. It struck just the right reflective note as we remembered this amazing woman we had lost. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Johnny to anyone else considering his services. He is truly talented, very warm and personable and a consummate professional. My family and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
