Such a great team!

I used Justin as my wedding coordinator, DJ, and officiant. I booked him about a year out from the wedding and he was available to answer questions from the booking date forward. He was very quick to respond and gave helpful advice. He fully takes the reins about two weeks out from the wedding day, contacting all vendors to confirm their arrival time as well as doing a venue layout for table setup. He also came to rehearsal dinner for a quick ceremony rehearsal. On wedding day he and his two assistants showed up around 10 AM to set up our arch decor, reception table placement, and assist our decorator when they arrived. I wrote our ceremony script which included a prayer at the beginning which he was happy to read for us.

My only complaint would be that our DJ was difficult to get in contact with leading up to the wedding but he did an amazing job the day of the wedding and kept everyone out on the dance floor!

Justin and his team were so easy to work with, he went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly and everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend him, especially for coordinating and DJ services!

Bearded Brothers is awesome!

We hired bearded brothers to provide photo booth and yard games (cornhole and giant Jenga) for our reception and everything was a hit! Justin manned the photo booth and was a true professional. He made sure everyone who used it had at least one copy of the photos and also put together a photobook keepsake with another copy.

If you want a smooth wedding, stop here!

We hired Justin from Bearded Brothers as our day of coordinator, in addition to hiring his company for DJ services, and photobooth.
For coordinator services, Justin absolutely killed it! He arrived to our wedding rehearsal with a timeline and plan ready to go, that coincided with everything we wanted for our day. He knew who everyone was in our family/bridal party, and certainly came prepared. The day of our wedding, he arrived early, and had everything in place exactly where it needed to be. Justin also brought some additional lighting, which helped make our area beautiful. All of our decorations and little touches we wanted were exactly correct, and Justin did an excellent job with coordinating the various family and bridal party for photos and the ceremony. During the reception, he kept checking on my wife and I to ensure that everything was perfect, and any little thing that we needed he would find or get for us. At the end of the reception, while getting all of our guests ready for the grand finale, he put on a special song and allowed my wife and I a moment to dance one last time in our venue, alone. It was extremely special, and my wife remarks that it is one of her favorite memories of the night. After the reception, he had everything packed up neat and ready to go.

For the DJ services, everything was great. We were provided with a questionnaire prior, which helped them curate what songs we wanted for which moments. They had a great set-up with some different lights, and they were also able to provide a lapel microphone and speaker for the outdoor ceremony.

The photobooth was a huge hit with our crowd! The girl that was working the photobooth was very friendly, and it was really nice that they took an additional photo strip from each set, and made a guestbook for our guests to sign. That alone makes this worth it! We were also provided with a link afterwards, where we could download all of the photos digitally.

Overall, we recommend Bearded Brothers Events for coordination, DJ, and photobooth services! Justin knows exactly what he is doing, and it was evident throughout our entire wedding!

One note: the pricing that we input for this review is solely for the coordination services, and does not include DJ or photobooth.

Amazing Dj!

Justin was an amazing DJ at my wedding on 2.19.22! He was organized and very responsive. I knew exactly what to expect because he sent detailed questionnaire asking about everything. The day of went absolutely flawless. Justin was prompt with the music and chose good songs during our reception. We had the perfect wedding and Justin was definitely a huge part of making that happen. I would definitely recommend him as a DJ, and any of the other services he offers, as he is friendly and is good at what he does!
