Unique, talented, mellow DJ!

Brian was approachable to talk to, esp. with it being my first time working with a DJ. He was willing to take the time to listen to songs that were important to me and other things about the wedding (actually we had a renewal of vows celebration that was like a wedding). Brian gave great suggestions based on lots of experience. His skills exceed that of others DJ's I've seen -- he's a musician himself too...a really good one! He has a ton of songs to pick from, too; he even pulled out what I'd call dinner versions of a lot of the songs on my playlist for when we were eating (our plan was to have more mellow music during that time). He was friendly and flexible, joining in with 2 other musicians I hired for square/folk dance music. If you're looking for someone who will bring a calm presence, look no further. I've been recommending Brian to several friends. Bonus: he played the music the perfect loudness (as in loud for a party) but comfortable for the ears (you could hold a conversation). I think this contributed to our guests feeling comfortable and smiling the whole time and getting to know each other. I loved that Brian brought equipment for the music to be outdoors at the end when my husband and I danced our special Last Dance on the grass surrounded by family and friends; it was so joyful and fun.

Dj Brian was exactly what we wanted

DJ Brian Bender was exactly what we wanted and needed for our wedding. He played incredible jazz piano throughout our cocktail hour and reception, following with a brilliant mix of our wedding playlist. He knew exactly when to play the right songs and the vibe of our wedding flowed perfectly all night. He was kind and courteous in every exchange we had with him and we felt we received work above and beyond especially for the price, absolute bargain. Would recommend to anybody.

What do I like about Brian? Many things. He is a gifted musician. I've seen him at the cocktail hour, playing piano. I've seen him at community events playing the Melodica. He also plays tuba and trombone. He teaches music lessons as well. To top it off, he even has his own recording studio and record label. He's not just a DJ. He loves music deeply and it shows. He has a friendly, warm, kind way about him. He listens so couples and guests alike, as seen in the gallery above. Because Brian is a musician, he also offers live music and a band for your wedding. And lastly, he has a good sound system. A DJ can be the nicest and best in the world, but it means nothing if they have bad quality speakers. As a photographer, I notice these things, since I spend the night on the dance floor close to the speakers.
