“Piano Man is the only place you need to look for the perfect wedding DJ. Our DJ was Fernando–he is fabulous (friendly, hilarious and down to earth). He handled the music for our ceremony and reception perfectly. This DJ is one of the best in the business–he truly understands music and had our guests on the dance floor all night long. Fernando can really read a crowd. We had 160 guests from ages 4 to 90–and at one point, Fernando had all of these folks on the floor at the same time. He also brought props which were a huge hit with kids AND adults. Planning with Piano Man is a breeze–Diana is very responsive and handled all the details perfectly. Also, we went with one of Piano Man’s uplighting options–made the dance floor look great. We highly recommend Piano Man and Fernando–they truly are the best wedding DJ option in the Capital Region. Music can make or break a wedding–hiring Piano Man and Fernando ensures your night will have the best music and plenty of great memories.”
Shannon“Excellent Experience! Our experience with Piano Man was unmatched. A friend recommended Fernando, and suggested booking early because he was popular.. very glad that we did. Even with a longer (2.5 year) engagement, Fernando and Diana at Piano Man made us feel special from the moment we walked through the door, and each step along the way. Not only do we rave about Fernando, but all of our guests do as well! He did an excellent job and was very professional! He helped to create a celebratory environment that kept everyone on the dance floor, literally, from the moment the music began to when the night concluded. Thank you Piano Man and Fernando!”
Chelsea Belmonte + Carly Sunderlin (Albany Country Club)“I can’t thank everyone from this company enough. From the very beginning, Diana answered every email and phone call with extreme professionalism and was a huge help every step of the way. She is amazing! Then there is Fernando. If you want a DJ who will keep the dance floor packed all night long or even a DJ who can slow things down and make the music a fit for everyone, this is your man! Adam and all the guys who helped with our lighting and decor for our reception are amazing! The up lighting, awesome LED towers, and incredible monogram completely transformed the reception area. I seriously can’t thank them enough.”

Kaylin“We had Fernando as the DJ at our reception and he was absolutely amazing!!! So many people came up to me during and after the wedding telling me how awesome he was!! People who I didn’t expect to dance were up dancing the night away with me because of Fernando’s smooth skills. We had a genre of music we really wanted to hear and he completely went above and beyond to make that the vibe all night. FERNANDO BUSTAMANTE is the DJ for you if you are looking to get the party started and make that party last all night!! My family and friends are still talking about him days after saying it was the best wedding they have ever been too, the atmosphere was amazing but Fernando made the experience complete! THANK YOU!!!!!!!”
Kristen“Piano Man provided us with the DJ Fernando. Fernando was so upbeat and excited about what he does that he got everyone else excited. He was professional and knowledgeable about everything that we wanted for our wedding. Piano Man provided us with our ceremony music and reception and we couldn’t be happier. They were so accommodating, professional and so friendly. Everybody loved our wedding and I give a lot of credit to Piano Man!!”
Samatha“Piano Man was referred to us by our wedding venue. We had told them we were looking for something specific and they said Fernando was our man and to call Piano Man right away. They were completely right. Fernando is not only extremely friendly, he is also professional, easy going and knowledgeable. He took the time to get to know exactly what we wanted and how we wanted it. When it came to the day, he took time to say hello, go over everything quickly and to meet our bridal party. As for the music – it was perfect. There was lots of dancing and the energy was exactly what I envisioned for our wedding. If you are looking for a DJ, look no farther. Fernando and Piano Man are the real deal!”
