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.
