Awesome to work with and great at mixing songs!

We learned of Extreme DJs & Lighting by asking for references on our communities' Facebook page, and Buster Bracken was most highly recommended. Our daughter and her spouse met on their University's Swing Dance team, so they had very specific requests for the type of music to be played for their invited guests and former teammates to dance to. My husband and I are ballroom dancers, so we had certain music requests and of course we wanted to also accommodate the younger crowd and our families. Buster did a great job of mixing all these songs and the dance floor was packed all night. We received several complements from our guests regarding the music that was selected. Buster was well organized which definitely helps to instill confidence and reduce stress on our end. He also handled the music for the wedding ceremony itself which was most convenient. (Approximately 6½ hours total). Our daughter and her husband were very happy with the service provided by Extreme DJs & Lighting and highly recommend them.

Wedding Reception DJ Services

My husband and I picked Extreme DJs and Lighting for our wedding reception this past July and had a great experience working with them! Buster was very responsive to our questions and very helpful in the planning process. He helped us plan out the reception timeline and he was able to provide pictures and videos of similar venues to ours. We purchased uplighting for our venue in addition to the DJ services and am so glad we did! The extra lighting helped light up the room once it started get dark and made the atmosphere fun! Andrew was our DJ for our reception and he did an amazing job keeping our guests on the dance floor! He played a majority of the songs we had put on our list of songs we wanted to hear. Overall, a great team to work with and made our big day go smooth! I would recommend booking them for your wedding!

Highly recommend!!

Buster at Extreme DJs & Lighting was super great to work with! He was well prepared, organized, and the entire day (ceremony + reception) timeline went perfectly! If I had any questions or concerns before the day, he was always quick to respond and helpful. And our guests were on the dance floor all night with his playlist! Highly recommend!

Stress free and meticulous

Extreme DJs & Lighting was an amazing vendor to work with! Prior to the wedding Buster helped plan our timeline for the wedding day and offered countless insights to what would best serve our wedding guests. He actually recommended us move our wedding back half an hour to cut out unnecessary time between the wedding and reception. Buster came to set up his equipment the day before while my family and I were decorating the reception hall. He offered helpful advice such as counting the chairs at each table after we were done decorating to prevent issues during the reception. No one at the venue hall recommended that. We found tables with less chairs than they were suppose to have which saved confusion for our guests. Buster allows you to make a playlist prior to the wedding for the music you’d like playing during the reception. I spent a lot of time working on that because I knew my guest like to dance. Buster took my playlist recommendations and blew me away! There were people on the dance floor the entire reception! Countless guests have mentioned to me how amazing our DJ was. I used the lighting service Buster provides but didn’t want the lights to be too flashy as I didn’t want it to bother my guests. Buster did a great job of working the lights to fit the music but not be too flashy. The lights added such fun addition! I cannot recommend Extreme DJs and Lighting enough!

Excellent!

We could not be happier with our experience working with Buster at Extreme DJs & Lighting!! He goes above and beyond to ensure his weddings are perfect. From planning the evening's timeline, to developing the venue floor plan and of course lighting and music, Buster has a wealth of knowledge from his experience. Our wedding was perfect! The dance floor was never empty and my family and friends are still talking about how much fun they had! 10/10 recommend.

Amazing DJ who can adjust to the room and get the dance floor full and hyped

Extreme DJs was amazing to work with! Buster not only killed it at the DJ booth but also helped us with a lot of preperation ideas and timing. He made the night go seemlessly especially when reading the dance floor for the music. He adjusted based on the mood and also went extra time to finish the night off!

Awesome experience!

We were so lucky to get to work with Extreme DJs & Lighting for our wedding reception. Buster was extremely knowledgeable and responsive every step of the way. He shared his experience of what works and what doesn’t as we were first constructing the event schedule (also, putting this schedule together was hugely helpful) - it was so helpful to have an “expert opinion” on our decisions. We were able to meet in person to see examples of spot lighting, as well as pictures from many, many examples of reception lighting they’d done. The website’s customer portal was well organized, and kept us organized! We were able to choose songs we’d like played, as well as a do-not-play list. The actual wedding reception was amazing - the room was beautiful (we went with spot lighting along with the more “standard” up lighting and loved how it made each table look!), the music was the perfect volume both during dinner and during the reception, and Buster was a polished, faultless emcee as well as DJ. Once the dancing started, the dance floor was full for the entire night! Our reception was amazing, and so much credit goes to Buster. If you have the opportunity to work with him, I would definitely recommend it!
