Professional and Adaptive Through and Through!

I was already ready to vouch for Bryan's character and professionalism before the pandemic hit. He held a meeting with my wife and I and was very receptive to our needs. After our wedding was delayed and he took paternity leave, he put us in touch with DJ Ricardo, who was immediately just as helpful, holding video conferences and phone calls with us leading up to the wedding date. The entire operation was extremely responsive to our needs and when it came time to perform, the guests were FEELING it. The perfect mix of responding to the moment and drawing from our list. If we had to get married a THIRD time, we'd go with them again.

Great experience with Bryan & DJ Theo

Bryan and I initially worked together for my May 2020 wedding, which I had to postpone due to Covid. The postponed date was too close to the birth of Bryan's child (congrats again!) so he unfortunately wasn't able to be our DJ. We really enjoyed working with him and were bummed to not celebrate with him in person, BUT he organized a really great back-up DJ for us (DJ Theo) who was just as communicative, detail-oriented, and fun to work with. Bryan and DJ Theo made our special day easy, stress-free, and kept our guests on the dance floor! Highly recommend!

Wonderful and accommodating

Ricardo made our wedding so much fun! He was able to easily set up at our historic chapel, cocktail hour by a pool and under a tent reception. He kept the crowd dancing and having a good time!

Our Wedding

So first off Bryan and Make it Count Entertainment were simply amazing. Obviously there are a lot of DJs that can come to your event and provide music but there is so much more to being a Great DJ. Bryan was in contact with my wife and I as soon as we hired him. He always answered any questions we had very quickly. One thing for us is we did not know the process and best procedures that worked for a wedding, and Bryan had no problem setting up phone calls to explain and help guide us through the process. He also recommended other vendors we needed. The day of the Wedding Bryan was on time and set up and ready to go. He had all the info for us and coordinated with us again on our entrance and songs etc. I would recommend Bryan for anyone to hire for their event.

Awesome DJ!

Bryan was the perfect DJ for our wedding! Everyone had so much fun! He was such a pleasure to work with and made us feel very comfortable with how he would run things at our wedding. From the start of our ceremony to the last song of the night, everything went perfectly. Bryan seamlessly transitioned through all moments of the day: ceremony, cocktail hour, bridal party entrance, dinner, speeches, dancing, etc. He was happy to help in any way he could, including suggesting songs for the bridal party entrance, making last minute adjustments, or just promptly answering any questions we had. He arrived early to set-up and was very professional. We couldn't have found anyone else who would’ve done a better job and we highly recommend having Make It Count Entertainment DJ anyone’s wedding!

Bryan was set up and ready to begin with plenty of time to spare, all of our requested songs were played and he had everyone out on the dance floor.

Fantastic Wedding DJ!

I discovered Bryan of Make It Count Entertainment when a mutual friend recommended him as a DJ for my wedding. When I was looking into various DJs, the thing that stood out to me about Bryan was that he was personable and professional. Unlike some potential DJs that I looked into, he was not at all pushy about trying to get our business. So even though his price was a little over our initial DJ budget, I felt most comfortable going with Bryan, and I’m so glad I did.

Leading up to the wedding, Bryan was very helpful with song suggestions as well as the planning of the timeline of events. We had a couple of phone calls to discuss logistics, as well as the overall feel of the wedding.

The day of the wedding was great, and Bryan was flexible when we needed to move the timeline around just a little bit and helped everything run smoothly. Our guests appeared to have a lot of fun dancing, and I cannot recommend Bryan enough!

Bryan is a fantastic dj!

My husband and I enjoyed working with Bryan from the beginning. Not only did we find him easy to work with, but he was also receptive to our ideas and helped us with our special entrance to the 2001 Space Odyssey intro. He played the songs we requested, even songs we knew would get my grandma dancing! He also took time to learn our style and found other songs that kept everyone on the dance floor for the whole evening. So many of our wedding guests have since commented on how great the music was at our wedding. We recommend Bryan without reservation!

Highly Recommend for your Special Day!!

Bryan was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was professional, adaptive and overall just a fun guy! On top of endless email communication, Bryan met with my fiance and I a week before our wedding to review the timeline, made sure all names were pronounced correctly and shared best practices to make sure our day was successful. Our day went SO smoothly; Bryan was set up and ready to begin with plenty of time to spare, all my requested songs were played and he had all age groups on the dance floor. He also had up-lighting in his package which was such a fun addition. I highly recommend Bryan for your special day!

Bryan was perfect for our unique wedding on the river. He kept the party flowing and always had a big smile on his face and a great attitude. He was also super flexible when things didn't go exactly according to plan (we forgot to toss the bouquet and garter because we were having too much fun). He also met all of our unique music requests. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to make a special event a night you'll never forget. Thanks so much!
