The Best DJ

Pete is without a doubt the best DJ I’ve ever seen. From the moment we booked him, we knew he genuinely cared to make our wedding as special as he possibly could. The online planning tools were super easy to use and he made sure that we were on the same page with all the little details before our wedding. Not only did he do an amazing job of MCing the evening, he got the dance floor PACKED!! He incorporated a lot of our song selections and also added his own touch. It’s been over 3 weeks and people are still talking about how much fun they had. We are so grateful that we got to work with Pete and Big Sand Productions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

1000/10 stars, the best wedding DJ I've ever seen!

We hired Big Sand Productions for our wedding on 4/20/24 and had the BEST experience! We booked DJ Pete and he was truly amazing.

During the planning process he was so communicative and responsive to all my emails. He was a wonderful MC and the music was perfectly timed throughout the evening. DJ Pete also BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE for our reception! Our guests were raging and partying so hard that the dance floor was packed the entire night. He also did a great job of reading the room and knowing when to play certain genres of music. He got the guests so hyped up with the music that the energy in the room was incredible. It felt like an amazing party with all our friends.

We also did the photo booth and bought glow sticks from Big Sand as well which I highly recommend! DJ Pete brought out the glow sticks out and our guests LOVED them! Such a fun addition to have on the dance floor. The photo booth was a huge hit! All the guests had a great time taking pictures and using the props, and we even got to keep a photo scrapbook of the pictures as well! It was such a nice addition to an amazing evening.

Pete was such an incredible DJ and person, my fiance and I had the best time working with him and having him be apart of our special day. I highly highly recommend Big Sand and especially DJ Pete to anyone looking for a DJ For their wedding!

DJ/Owner

I've worked as a professional DJ and Musician for the past 7 years. I got my first ever DJ gig at my brother's wedding at our family cabin on Big Sand Lake in Minnesota. I had so much fun doing it that I spent the next 5 years training with the best DJs I knew and working to build my own company. Once I finally launched, I of course named my company Big Sand Productions :)

Ever since, I have been fully committed to making each wedding I DJ as uniquely fun and memorable as I can. I have developed a myriad of skills in this industry and am confident that I will make your wedding truly special.
