School AssemblyReviewed on April 21, 2023From Warren, NJ

Wow!!! What a guy!!! Richard Stillman is a class act, a one man show that can do it all. He had our elementary school filled with sheer joy and entertainment that will last a lifetime. He did Italian storytelling, tarantella, educated them on all his Italian instruments. It was a great time for all! Highly recommend!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 7, 2022From New York City, NY

Wow, they were amazing! I had multiple people ask if they could hire them for their party. I could not recommend them more. They are very talented, nice, organized and made it so easy. They made the party such a happy day.

I easily gave Richard 5 starts across the board!! He is extremely talented, very kind, and professional. He arrived right on time and was fantastic to work with. Everyone at my event really enjoyed his music, singing, dancing, and energy. I would highly recommend Richard and am looking forward to booking him again.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on June 5, 2017From Stillwater, NJ

I arranged for Richard to focus on bluegrass and Irish music for my party... and he came through wholeheartedly! He and his associate were very professional and talented... and played a variety of tunes that my guests thoroughly enjoyed. Very satisfied with their performance... would definitely consider again.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on December 18, 2016From Stockton, NJ

I was extremely pleased with Richard Stillman's performance. He arrived about one hour early to arrange his numerous instruments and "set the stage" for his absolutely wonderful performance! He is a true professional and quite a music "Renaissance Man!"

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 13, 2016From Newburgh, NY

We hired Richard and his band for our wedding in October 2016. Richard was really easy to communicate with and had a brilliant songlist which we then selected some tunes from. We asked Richard if he could play the bride down the aisle, and chose Shenandoah which he then played absolutely fantastically. Richard and the band then played music over the next 2 hours and it was really good. The most common thing wedding guests said to us was how good the band was - my only regret is we didn't have more of Richard and his band, they were terrific and I would recommend them to everyone for all occasions.

First CommunionReviewed on May 9, 2016From Bronxville, NY

I would highly recommend Richard Stillman. He did a wonderful job playing at my sons' Communion party. He was entertaining, and the music was lively but not too loud. He accompanied my two Irish dancers beautifully. He arrived early and was set up well before my guests arrived, He has a lovely personality and looked and acted professionally. I received many compliments from my guests. My guests truly enjoyed the entertainment. It made the party fun & memorable.

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 23, 2013From Medford, NJ

I can't say enough! My family had an amazing time and Richard was fantastic. We went for some Irish music mixed in with Christmas music. He and his fellow musician were great at getting the crowd involved and just making a wonderful atmosphere. I've been asked by family if he'd come back again and we hope so!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 27, 2011From Belmar, NJ

We could not have been happier. The performance was all that and more. He and his partner were not only professional but true gentlemen. We received so many compliments on their performance. My knew husband, who is a true bluegrass fan, said the next day to me that they made the wedding. It was one of the best decisions I ever made in hiring Richard Stillman to be part of my wedding day. Bravo !!!

Labor Day PartyReviewed on September 6, 2010From Chatham, NJ

We had a western-themed BBQ and Richard arrived dressed in western attire. He sang some country songs and had a great voice. He then taught 16-20 of us (some as young as 5) a square dance. He did some rope tricks to the kids and each child was given a stiff lasso to try. The kids loved him and were squealing with delight during the rope tricks and the dancing. He also taught some line dances that were so much fun. In the end, he led the guests in a march around our lawn while he played the bagpipes. I could not have asked for a greater all-around entertainer than Richard. He was amazing! All of our guests were raving about him afterwards.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 24, 2010From Somers, NY

Richard and his group are very talented. We had talked about a song list and about gospel bluegrass before hand. They did very well, upbeat and fun. As their last piece, I asked him to bring his bagpipes and pipe us out to the garden to Amazing Grace. I released some butterflies when we got there. I found him warm, attentive, and open to suggestions. I had a great 60th Birthday celebration and he was a vital part of it.

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on August 10, 2010From Stamford, CT

Richard was fabulous! He added the finishing touch to our cocktail hour and I would be more that happy to refer him to anyone in the future. He was a pleasure to deal with and everyone enjoyed his music. Thanks! Cindy Torre Flynn

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 11, 2010From Warren, NJ

AMAZING! Mr. Stillman sang beautifully, played a host of instruments, taught my nieces how to step dance, told stories and jokes from Ireland all in one fun-filled hour! He is a fine musician and very gracious and accommodating as well. I thoroughly recommend him.

Family ReunionReviewed on January 6, 2010From Middletown, NY

Richard Stillman and his partner, Carol, were terrific and absolutely were accommodating to our family and friends. Not only were they talented but he got the party involved in the singing and dancing. I would highly recommend him, and he was a hoot, to boot. Thanks for his talent. Sincerely Susan M DePuy

A delightfully fun experience. Richard was able to provide the crowd with entertainment and happily obliged with any requests. He kept to the music genre we discussed beforehand and provided fun for all.
