Korina G. Married on 03/04/2021Coolest DJ Ever
We knew Bruce was the DJ for us from the get go. From our first phone conversation with him, we could tell his energy and kindness were exactly what we wanted at our wedding. He knew exactly what questions to ask, and what questions we would have. He made us feel confident when speaking about the wedding. His website made us very hands on in the selection of the music. It was well organized in determining the different parts of the wedding, and ensuring that the songs that we wanted were played at specific points of the wedding. His website also included helpful suggestions for parts of the wedding we weren't sure how to choose music for. The day of the wedding, he ensured everything sound wise went perfectly. He had the perfect amount of speakers and sound equipment. At no point did we feel any lulls. Bruce caught the ambiance of the wedding exactly as we wanted. Bruce even went above and beyond, when our wedding schedule got a bit off the rails towards the end, and he stayed an extra hour for us. We are truly grateful for Bruce, and are glad to have had Battleson Entertainment be a part of our wedding! -

Marian K. Married on 03/14/2020Couldn't have imagined a more perfect DJ for our wedding!
We interviewed three highly recommended DJ’s for our wedding. Bruce came out on top. Even with our high expectations, Bruce exceeded them by far. He carefully listened to how we wanted our wedding to turn out and in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, he was always available to listen to any adjustments we wanted to make.
Being in the business for as long as he has, he has a lot of experience and connections and recommendations. And it shows! He even gave us a referral for a harpist that we ended using for our ceremony that we loved.
On the day of the wedding, Bruce came prepared and made it his goal to make sure everyone had a good time. My groom had a last second request to surprise serenade me with his guitar and a bunch of our friends at the reception & Bruce helped to set it up perfectly. One of my most favorite moments of the day.
Everything was amazing that night - the music, the lighting, the jokes.
If you want a rock star wedding, Bruce is your guy!Battleson Entertainment's reply:
Thank you Marian and David for your beautiful words. What a night! Just so many special moments. The first dance surprise actually had your entire vendor team in tears, which never happens because we all think we have seen everything! I think every single person in the room, vendors included, kinda fell in love with David at that moment lol. I'm so grateful for you two. The world could use more people like you! -

Gretchen S. Married on 01/03/2020Fantastic, kind, and knowledgeable DJ!
Bruce was the fantastic DJ for our cocktail hour and reception. As musicians, my now husband and I were keen on having the music we really loved and appreciated played at our wedding. Bruce kindly listened to our many requests (including finding a very elusive first dance song!!!) and then added his own sage wisdom from his years of experience. Our bridal party commented to us how nice he was; he sent our best man to check in on us when we got lost in the crowd talking to people. After all, we had put together a specific playlist for our dance floor and we wanted to enjoy it! One of the most special moments of our evening was seeing nearly EVERYONE on the dance floor—guests of all ages from 2 1/2 years old to our grandparent were dancing away.
Bruce also came up with a clever strategy to initially get all of our guests on the dance floor. His announcements were always clear and enthusiastic without sounding fake or overdone. He worked excellently with our coordinator and photographer so that all was smooth throughout the evening. He also added uplighting, which added a lot to the ambience of the ballroom. We so appreciated having him as part of our team for the day!! We highly recommend Bruce’s services.Battleson Entertainment's reply:
Hi Gretchen! Thank you for your beautiful words. What a great wedding! I could not think of a better way to kick off the new decade! I'm so happy all our planning came together into the perfect storm of classy dance floor mayhem! Your best man was the best, best man ever. I saw you and Jordan stuck in endless conversations while I was mixing in your very favorite songs and I am so glad he was there to help figure out what we should do to politely get you back to the party! You're the best and thank you for being so awesome!!!
