About

Since DJing our first wedding at the age of sixteen, we have developed a passion to help people have a good time, without losing the classy feel of an evening. We do this job because we enjoy it, so when you hire PBJ, you get one or both of the business owners (Brian Carriger and Joe Backe) handling your event. That means you have our entire attention to detail for your event - rather than some company with a large pool of DJs.

There are a number of DJs in Indianapolis, so we want to use this site to offer you as much wonderful information as possible to help inform your decision about hiring PBJ - including a full breakdown of our pricing on our Weddings Page. If you need more info check out our Facebook Page to see wedding tips, new music, and of course a few things that make us laugh.

Choosing your wedding and event vendors can be a tough process - we want to be the easiest step as you make your arrangements. Rest assured that we only have one goal - to make our customers and their guests as happy as possible.

You will not regret picking this DJ!

Joe was by far my favorite vendor to work with during the wedding planning process! He knows exactly what he's doing, what to ask and when, gave great advice/suggestions, and is super organized. It made my life so much easier as a bride who did all the wedding planning. The day-of the event went super smoothly and was such a blast and I absolutely contribute that to the DJ!

Couldn't have been better!

Joe with PBJ Pro DJ was hands down, the best DJ I've ever encountered. I was so glad to have him provide music for my wedding ceremony and reception. We clicked right away on the phone, and he really listened to what we wanted (and what we did not want). He got a generator especially for our outdoor ceremony and figured out a way to provide music when other DJs would not. He really kept the dance floor full at the reception, and everyone had a great time. Our guests commented on how great he was too! Joe really read the room well and provided the right music for the moment. He also let songs play through so people could sing along to them rather than cut them off really early and remix other songs in, which other DJs tend to do. I loved the way he transitioned songs. I highly recommend Joe for all your DJ needs!

Go with Joe!

I cannot say enough great things about Joe + his team. He was an incredible help leading up to the wedding, providing loads of advice on timelines, song choices, etc. Joe perfectly set the mood during cocktail hour/dinner, and kept everyone up and out of their seat once open dancing started. He kept the party going and we were shocked at how many people were still on the dance floor when the last song was called! He played the perfect mix of music for all generations at the wedding. The photobooth option was a great addition - I looked at similar options that were over double the price. I highly recommend PB&J for any event you need entertainment for!

Where do we start?! Our wedding was the FOURTH wedding that Joe was done in our family. Being the fourth and final girl in the family to get married, we knew right away that Joe was who we wanted to be there for the big day. From the very beginning, Joe was easy to work with. From initial contact, to bumping into him at Bridal Expos, to the final preparations and the big day itself, Joe was an absolute pleasure!

Now for the big day itself! Joe worked with us as we had a complete overhaul of our original plans (thanks Hurricane Gordon!). Joe turned up early, and handled everything like a pro. Once the events started happening, Joe worked his magic. The cues were perfectly timed, the music transitions were seamless, and he had an amazing variety in music offerings for everyone. When timing of other events, such as first dances, sudden additions to speeches, etc were going on, Joe took care of everything and handled all of the timing and introductions perfectly. The crowd loved his energy and his persona. Now we just hope we get him booked for someone else's wedding so we can enjoy his work again! Seriously, we can't find anything else to say but to simply say THANK YOU!

Matt is AMAZING! My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ at our wedding. Even from the start of the planning process, Matt was such a joy to work with. Since I was planning from out-of-state, Matt and I did all of our planning together via phone calls and I don't think there was a single call that didn't end with me grinning ear to ear. Matt really did an incredible job of pulling our entire wedding day together and making our reception a blast. Even during the reception he was super flexible with small changes I wanted to make on the fly like adding in a song that my Dad wanted played, the Purdue fight song, etc. Matt was also very professional and came to me specifically when a few "adult" songs were requested by guests for my sole approval. Overall, Matt did a phenomenal job at making our wedding reception a blast for all of our guests, regardless of age. He played an incredible variety of music that had even my 85-year-old grandparents dancing all night!

We were so thrilled with our experience with Joe. From our initial meeting, to our wedding day and everything in between Joe was 100% accommodating, professional, knowledgeable and a joy to work with. I was so at ease knowing that Joe managed the flow of our entire reception- everything from bridal party entrances, speeches, first dances, ran so smoothly and seamlessly. Joe listened to exactly what we wanted for both our dinner music and dancing music and kept the dancefloor alive. My husband and I couldn't recommend Joe and his team enough.

We used both the DJ, photo booth, and uplighting services for a corporate event and could not have been happier. During the planning phase, Joe would answer e-mails within minutes and had some really great ideas to make our event memorable. On the day of the event he set up quickly and then , without being asked, jumped in and helped out with directing our guests as they checked in. He perfectly read the mood of the event and kept everyone entertained and engaged throughout. The photo booth was excellent as well. We had a custom-designed photo frame, the photo quality was great, and the props and backdrop were outstanding. Finally, the quality of the uplighting provided by PBJ was wonderful and really enhanced the atmosphere. For personal and professional events alike, I will never use another DJ service as long as PBJ is available.

We worked with Joe at PBJ Pro DJ for our wedding. He was our DJ and provided us with a photo booth, which was a huge hit! All of our guests loved it. My mom talks about it every time we see her. She says the photo booth was the best thing about our wedding! Joe made our wedding run smoothly and was extremely professional and easy to work with. 5/5 would recommend

Simply the best! My husband and I had the pleasure of having Joe DJ our wedding last month and he far exceeded our expectations! When we first met with him his energy and his thought process when DJing an event made us feel comfortable and excited for what he would bring to our wedding. If you are looking for an interactive, fun, thoughtful, and engaged DJ then look no further. Joe took our suggestions, likes, and dislikes into consideration and read our guests and created the most perfect mix of songs that kept us and our guests on the dance floor all night! We had a few special requests and Joe always politely came to us to tell us when these requests were coming up, which I really appreciated. And... something that often gets over looked is how well Joe moved the night along. He had funny one liners to keep the excitement going for speeches and first dances and was just overall a great partner in the planning of our reception. So happy! I would go with PBJ Pro DJs over and over and over again!

Joe was AMAZING. It was hard to find a wedding DJ that didn't make it sound like the whole night was going to be about the DJ. We wanted someone who was engaging and knew what they were doing, without being over the top. Joe was perfect. He was professional at all times, was very easy-going and relaxed and made us feel like we were in good hands from start to finish. During the reception, he played a great mix of songs that kept the dance floor full all night long. Perfect value, perfect playlist, a perfect night. 100 percent would recommend.
