About

Born in Calgary, Alberta and raised in the Ice Box of the Nation International Falls, MN; Brian Glad aka DJ BGLAD has climbed the ranks of DJ and entertainment stardom to become one of the top entertainers in the Twin Cities. His success, however, didn't happen overnight.


It was during his time at college that Brian got his first taste of the professional music entertainment at a local night club by 1st off getting discovered working at a music store. From there, Brian started hosting small parties, weddings, sweet sixteen parties, and even the occasional school dance. No job was too small, and Brian used these events as a way to build up his technical repertoire, until he decided to break out.


After graduating college, he moved to Minneapolis, MN to officially launch his brand as DJ BGLAD :o) one of the most sought out DJ’s in the Twin Cities. He definitely knows how to create magic with music! He’s also quite the illusionist with cards.
As one of the Twin Cities hidden top entertainers, DJ BGLAD has proven his talents across the Midwest. He has traveled all the way down to Bolivar, MO up to Winnipeg, MB to Bismarck, ND across to Houghton, MI. His talents have energized many of the Midwest’s private parties and events, including companies like Target and Best Buy. DJ BGLAD’s experiences have allowed him to keep every event entertaining, innovative and exciting.


His unique style of mixing Hip Hop with 80's, Rock, Funk and House music have set DJ BGLAD apart. If music was a roller coaster; you’re on it when he’s mixing; if there are rules; he breaks them. Renowned for his witty and well thought out mixes, BGLAD has the ability to feel the beat and pulse of the crowd like so few DJ's can. He is a favorite at most of the hottest and exclusive events in Minnesota.

DJ Brian Glad is a multi-tasking master!

Brian DJ'd, emcee'd, AND did videography for our wedding last fall! He absolutely crushed it in all areas. Everyone had a blast dancing the night away, and we're so happy with how our video turned out! He was also very thoughtful and thorough in the planning process and really wanted to get to know us in order to provide the best service possible. We highly recommend Brian Glad/MVP Weddings for your wedding/event entertainment needs!!

Amazing DJ! He can do it all!

Brian was such an amazing DJ, and he was pretty much our all-around entertainment for the entire evening! He was our officiant, magician, MC, and DJ! Brian made the entire process leading up to the wedding simple but captured all of the details, so that on our wedding day we didn’t have to worry about a thing! The ceremony he gave was perfect! He took time to get to know the two of us to make it a unique and personalized ceremony, had some fun with the audience, and made the whole process a lot less nerve racking! During our cocktail hour he walked around and did magic tricks with the guests and then later in the evening made balloon animals for the kids! (Such an awesome touch, the kids really loved it!) Brian played great music all night, played songs that kept people from all ages on the dance floor! Brian made coordinating all of these aspects, from the ceremony to the final song, simple and flawless. Thank you so much for making our entire wedding a unique and unforgettable experience for not only ourselves but for our guests as well!

Brian is an AMAZING DJ! He was the DJ for my best friend's wedding and my sister's wedding so naturally I had to have him for my wedding! Brian is great to work with and really knows how to keep the party going! We have a rowdy group of family and friends and they all gave rave reviews about the energy of the night and the fun songs that kept everyone out on the dance floor!!
Brian is flexible when it comes to the packages that he offers also. We wanted a combo of the first and second package and easily came to an agreement on service and price. Brian took care of the music for our ceremony and our reception. He even said grace for us before dinner!
I would highly recommend DJ BGLAD to any bride and groom searching for the best DJ for their wedding!!

Brian is amazing! He filmed our wedding and brought such a fun energy to the shoot and day. He also created a wonderful clip of the entire day that made us all tear up. What he choose to put together was so breath taking that we will be able to keep forever. I would highly recommend using Brian.

Brian was a wonderful DJ! Before the wedding, we discussed the timeline at length so that he would be prepared for everything. He did am amazing job MCing the night through toasts, a kissing menu, bouquet toss, and taking requests. At one point I wasn't happy with all the requests that one particular groomsman was making, and I had one of my bridesmaids let Brian know and Brian made a change right away! Very responsive and everyone loved the music!

WOW.. just WOW! He was an incredible DJ and MC! You will not be disappointed in the least! We had tons of guests comment on how spectacular he was. He created a great flow through the whole reception and was so helpful throughout the whole process. We opted to have him do his magic during our reception which was a huge hit and so much fun! I wish I could have watched all the tricks he did during our cocktail hour! I barely left the dance floor- his music selections were perfect and timed so well. I was surprised at all the people that got out on the dance floor- but how could you resist. He truly went above and beyond our expectations!! You will not be disappointed!

We are from out of state and never met the DJ, Brian Glad until the day of the wedding. We choose him from a review and spoke to him over the phone and everything went smooth from beginning to end. Brian played the love songs while our guests were seating for the wedding ceremony which was a very nice touch and brought calmness to the room. He did the music for the wedding itself as well. Following the ceremony which was all at the Edinburgh USA he then played the background music for the dinner. Our guests commented how nice it was to have classic love songs lightly playing in the background for a romantic elegant feel while enjoying a fabulous meal. Brian Glad is an interactive Emcee and DJ. Brian was so accommodating to be sure my daughters wedding dance went the way she wanted it to. All the guests enjoyed the good time he provided.

Brian was my husband and my wedding DJ September of 2013. Any of you who have planned weddings before know how crazy it can get to find any sort of entertainment. Luckily we got a name from a friend of ours for a DJ who turned out to be booked but then he passed along Brian Glad's name to us. After the first meeting with Brian, we were completely excited and knew we wanted him to not just be our DJ but be the Emcee that lead all of our guests through a night of fun! One of my favorite parts about Brian is that he also does magic! He came to our groom's dinner for some magic entertainment and during our social hour he walked around and did magic tricks for the guests. We haven't heard anything less than what a fantastic job Brian did from our guests and how they also loved the magic entertainment! 100% recommend Brian to be anyone's Emcee for any party they are throwing: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, etc. He was fantastic to work with and showed us great ways to lay out our reception which I had never even thought of! For any future party that needs entertainment I will be calling DJ BGlad!

My husband and I had 4 months to plan our wedding, plus we were on a budget because we would be moving across the country only a few weeks after. We felt so fortunate when Brian agreed to Emcee our reception and provide the entertainment for the evening. He worked with us putting together the perfect package with the most beautiful winter ambiance I had ever seen. He worked off the room and transformed the area with blue up-lighting to make it feel like you were in a snow globe. He added a personalized Gobo on the dance floor and strategically placed lights throughout the room, adding just enough light for perfect visibility.
Brian is a true gem, he is one of a kind and will add the perfect touch to your special day. He goes above and beyond to create your dream into a reality. He took charge of all the entertainment so I didn't feel any pressure or stress, and let's be honest, nobody wants the bride stressed. :) In all honesty though, our perfect day wouldn't have been perfect without Brian and his ability to adapt, his charisma, his professionalism and his own touch on making it fun. There wasn't a moment in the night our dance floor wasn't full. I have recommended Brian to others and they have already scooped him up. Do not miss your chance either, I promise you will not be disappointed. Brian, thank you for being so wonderful to us and for adding the perfect touch on our very special day!
