On 5/7/26, after hearing back from a Woodwind Tech. that wasn't able to look at/fix one of my…read morewoodwind instruments in time for my pit orchestra gig the very next day, I did some research online, and discovered that Garden State Music Center has a reputable Woodwind Tech. that can do repairs on site. I called the store and explained the issue I was having with my Piccolo, and asked if I could stop by within the hour to meet the Woodwind Tech. and have him take a look at it, to determine if it was a minor or major repair. When I arrived at the store, I explained to Mike, the Woodwind Tech., that it looked like a spring on my Piccolo either needed to be reset or broke off. Mike looked at it, told me what he believed might have occurred, and then took my Piccolo to his workbench to begin working on it. Fifteen minutes later he assessed that one of the springs somehow jumped to the opposite side of the cradle, but he was able to reposition it and tighten the spring tension. In addition, he checked all the pads to make sure they were all seated properly, and in doing so, discovered a leak in one of the keys and made the necessary adjustment. Mike then suggested I try my Piccolo in one of the practice rooms to make sure everything was . After testing it in all the registers, my Piccolo plays BETTER than ever! I couldn't be happier and was very relieved that the work was done in a timely fashion. In addition to Mike's professionalism and concern about the issue I was having with my instrument, I was extremely impressed that he was willing to see me on such short notice to fix it, so I could play it on my gig without worry. This is a true sign of a dedicated Craftsman that takes pride in his work, and understands the needs of working professional musicians that rely on their instruments when it comes to their livelyhood. I highly recommend Mike as a GREAT Woodwind Tech. to professional woodwind players and students, that need their instruments repaired. I will certainly call on Mike again in the future to repair any of my woodwinds. Thank you, Mike Sincerely, Scott Grimaldi Professional Woodwinds Doubler (Saxophones/Flutes/Clarinets)

I told him i was quoted $150 twice, as a fee to take the piano and use for parts. He hemmed and hawed about liability, told me he was no longer interested in our piano and HUNG UP ON ME!!! What an asshole!!! Now I am scrambling to try to find somewhere to take this piano as it has to be out of the house by this weekend. NEVER NEVER believe this company!!

My husband and I got married in April 2023 and we hired Posh DJs for reception services including 4…read morehours of DJ music, dancing with clouds, spotlights, cold sparklers, and a traditional photo booth. We had a wonderful reception! JP was our DJ and he was personable, responsive to our emails and texts, and knowledgeable in answering our many questions! The music selection website was also easy to use and connect to our Spotify playlist. JP was easy to get along with and he was even kind enough to have a Tide-To-Go pen on hand and cleaned my wedding dress when I spilled chocolate sauce on it! The dancing with the clouds was amazing and elevated our first dance to look straight out of a fairy tale, and the sparklers shot out at the perfect moment of our lift. The traditional photo booth was more cramped than we expected, so if we knew the small size we may have opted for a different type of photo booth, but it seemed to not bother our guests and was a good size for fitting 4 people. We also love the photo booth souvenir book that Posh DJs prepared for us that was really clean and well-organized. JP did play all our must-play songs and songs from our "play if possible" list, and also did play the requested instrumental music during dinner. On the day of the wedding, we were worried that our guests wouldn't dance during reception so we let him know that we were okay if he played some songs off our list to get the crowd going. Later, we weren't sure if we should have given that direction since the first dance set had too many songs that we DIDN'T know. (My husband and I are not familiar with older songs, so we didn't recognize any of those songs in the first dance set). However, JP checked in with us after the first dance set and we asked him if he could play more songs from our playlist and we were happier with our second and third dance sets. We had discussed with JP during our final call that we wanted to do a napkin game to "raffle" off the centerpieces to our guests, but on the day before the wedding we had squeezed in last minute sparklers (we didn't think it was possible to light them since it was pouring rain, but we ended up being able to when the venue told us we could have sparklers on a covered patio), so in all the commotion we had forgotten about the napkin game and most of the centerpieces were left at the venue, which I wish we could have distributed to our guests. But overall, I am happy with Posh DJs and JP and thank you for contributing to our magical wedding!
