    Simply the best.

    Best DJ, lights, Photo Booth, dance floor was full and jamming the entire night. Total class act, kept things running smoothly, and was very professional. Everyone said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to, and we think having the best DJ who made it super fun played a huge part in that! We love Big Fish Music Productions!! ❤️

    AMAZING- Highly Recommend!

    I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ who honestly has become a friend! Communication was AMAZING. Having a COVID wedding was a bit stressful. We had to postpone our wedding, had lots of questions and concerns, and let me tell you.... Big Fish was WONDERFUL!!! They were so accommodating and just the best. My wedding night was the BEST ever! Everyone had such an amazing time. DEFINITELY recommend!!!!

    The BEST Dj!!!

    James was INCREDIBLE to work with! He was extremely flexible and supportive during the COVID changes. He made sure to listen to what and what we didn't want. And the photo booth he set up was SOO much fun! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, accommodating DJ!!
