From the very start, they were communicative, helpful and SO MUCH FUN to work with. They guided me through everything, asking questions and covering bases I would have never thought of. They were complete professionals and they made me feel so comfortable that I wouldn't have to worry about one music-related thing on my wedding day - and I didn't. But you're probably wondering - are they actually any good? YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! They are amazingly talented and ridiculously fun. They read the room perfectly and knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. My guests absolutely loved them and are still talking about them. If you are looking for live music, you cannot go wrong with them.

Throughout the experience from start to finish, Ray was courteous, helpful, and professional, as we made plans. The music was beautiful and they were highly in tune with the mix of classical and modern that we were looking for. We heard so many compliments -- a real class act. They were also pros adapting to the space and working with everyone who was running around making things happen. We can not recommend them enough!

So after relocating to NYC I came down to visit Crash (pre-covid) to pick up some audio files. The…read morenew facility is amazing with the control room having a perfect monitoring room. The whole construction of the studio level ups far beyond any other medium-large set up I seen and revivals if not, beats many NYC studios. It is hard for me to describe how amazing it is but let me quote their webage so I won't paraphrase anything. "The New Studio Crash is a beautiful recording studio built from the ground up to be world class in the field. With a nice large control room, a huge 840sq ft. live room with 14 ft slanted ceilings, an isolation room, a vocal booth, and two separate amp closets we have plenty of isolated spaces to get great sounds without the need to overdub everything. This makes it possible to record very large groups live and still have plenty of elbowroom and acoustic separation. Construction. Many studios may beautiful on the surface, like ours, but what's really important here is the stuff you don't see. So what is inside the walls and below the floor? Our construction entailed room-within-a-room construction. This means the walls you see are actually TWO (2) walls; each of which have two layers of " drywall and special acoustic insulation for sound absorption and a 6" air-space between them. These walls are floating on a layer of neoprene for even more sound isolation. The two pieces of glass in the 8 foot window separating the control and live rooms are each 1/2" thick, adding to the sound control. Under our new strand woven bamboo flooring, each room has its own individual "floating" concrete slab, decoupling it from the other rooms' floors. Even the HVAC was carefully planned, with every send and return having it's own insulated flex-duct all the way back to the HVAC unit. We even installed that HVAC unit in a separate building to keep it's mechanical noise far away from the studio space. The new studio's room acoustics are wonderful. Careful consideration in the design was spent on choosing room ratios as mathematically non-correlated as possible, in order to achieve evenly distributed axial, tangential, and oblique room modes. This means we get an amazingly smooth and accurate frequency response in the room ambience. This is something practically impossible to achieve without building from scratch like we did here." Mike is a PRO PRO PRO engineer. He has a new control surface going from a C24 to a D-Command as well as some focusrite preamps. He can also work on analog consoles as well as digital. The only downside is the breakroom can use some working on (unfinished floors) and parking is a bit troublesome, (I parked in the CVS lot across the way) but what can you do?!? I'd take that perfect mix over anything! See you soon again Mike!

If you are looking for an amazing wedding band that guests will not stop talking about The Goody…read moreBlue Shoes are that band! We got married in Cape May 5 hours from where we live. An amazing live band was the most important thing we wanted at our wedding. We are fortunate to live in an area that in the summer has endless bars with live music. It is our favorite thing to do but we are also very picky. We had full intentions of hiring one of the local bands we love and having them make the trip. After one meeting with John of The Goody Blue Shoes that all changed. His energy, expertise, and good vibes are infectious. You can tell that this is more than just a job to him and he goes above and beyond to build a relationship with his clients. Even though he had other events going on we always felt like we were his only couple and he always made time for us. John goes over every detail and was almost like having a second wedding planner. His main goal is to make your wedding day perfect in any way that he can. No is not in John's vocabulary if you want something he will make it happen. We could not have been happier with the whole planning process and John made it as stress-free as possible. The band is incredible, our guests cannot stop talking about the band and how amazing they sounded. We had one guest tell us they wished they had heard them before booking their band. They said they are 300 times better than the band they hired and would have flown The Goody Blue Shoes to Maryland! Another guest told us it took him a minute to realize that it was the female vocalist who was singing during our ceremony not a recording. These are just a few of the many amazing things our guests had to say about The Goody Blue Shoes. They will learn all your first dance songs and even learned a few of our favorite songs that we love to see live. They will not just learn the songs you request but crush them and make them as special as the original versions! John is also an amazing MC, all night he keeps the party rolling and makes sure everything happens as intended. Hiring the Goody Blue Shoes was the best decision we made and we can say confidently that our wedding would not have been the same without them. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and we felt they went above and beyond what we paid them for. John, I cannot thank you and the Band enough for making our wedding night perfect. Right from the beginning we told you we wanted our wedding to be a huge party where everyone was dancing, and you exceeded all expectations. We will miss our planning calls, texts, and Zoom calls but we will definitely be partying with you guys again soon!

Upon arriving at our home in Virginia (hundreds of miles away) I found that the bridge pickup was non-functioning. Dialogued with the seller on what to do to resolve it and they suggested getting a quote locally for repair. I made a special trip to Guitar Center and got a quote for $80 to have it repaired. They offered only $50 as compensation. What??? Pretty lousy that they won't take full responsibility for selling me a defective guitar. And all this after wasting my time dialoguing with them, sending them pictures of the guitar, getting the quote, etc... Because my son got attached to the guitar immediately I'm just going to get it fixed at my expense. What cheap skates and what poor customer service. I'd never advise one of my employees to turn off a customer like this to preserve profit on a single deal. Very short sighted decision. This experience is a huge contrast to the positive experience I had at Russo Music Center in Trenton (check out my review) where the customer service was outstanding.

The cons: they didn't have any of the songs we wanted. When we spoke to them a week before the wedding we told them what we wanted. They said they had most of them. On the day of the wedding we wanted to change a few things. DJs these days have access to every song ever made due to the internet. They either didn't have it or couldn't find it. The timeline wasn't follows at all. First dances, father/daughter dad and Stepmother/ daughters, toast, etc. we had to tell them when even though they had a written timeline. The worst of all was that they constantly advertised their service. Not very classy at a wedding.
