Amazing and Impressive!

I put a lot of time and effort into researching our wedding vendors, so before scheduling a meeting with Special Moments Ent I knew they were the kind of company I wanted to work with. Brian was quick when communicating back and forth and was very flexible to setup a meeting. He welcomed us into his home studio to meet with him and our potential DJ Branden. We were so impressed in that meeting I knew we weren’t going to be looking any further. Their morals and views on wedding music and even tips about choosing songs made them a shoo in for our books. They played us an array of songs that made it a fun and interesting meeting. Branden was so down to earth and knew what he was talking about. Communication kept flowing between then and the wedding and Branden was available for all questions. He was great in our final meeting - he had so many good ideas and was really pumping us up. On the wedding day, Branden and Hope arrived and setup exactly when he said they would - even an outdoor ceremony on a chilly day (thank you for letting me live out that very important detail!). When I say Branden was the life of the party - I mean it! We were SO impressed and ecstatic with his charisma and skills. He was a fantastic MC and really got the crowd going, even had 100 questions for the show game. He read the crowd and played the best songs - especially at the end of the night playing songs that our generation grew up on. I’ve never danced so much in my life and we will never forget it. I had the time of my life, (and I owe it all to you - Branden and Hope)!

Amazing!!!!

Its amazing how wonderful Brian was! He was one of the two biggest staples in our wedding! This process is very overwhelming, and I'm not good at multitasking and I'm very easily overwhelmed, and unfortunately I've had an incredibly hard year so planning a wedding was such a difficult thing for me, and Brian offered SO much guidance and direction! He answered questions I didn't even know I had. He knows ALL about this process, and knows things you didn't even know you had to know. If you're on the fence, just trust this man and he will deliver! He was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. You can tell he not only enjoys his job, but knows it VERY well! His years of experience are untouchable to any new DJ. Would highly, and will highly, recommend Brian! He has incredible reviews for a reason, trust that. Go with Brain!

Simply the best!

Brian does a fantastic job! He had done a couple weddings I’ve been apart of including my brothers and now mine. We could not be any happier! He knows how to read the room for music and keeps the dance floor going all night. I haven’t been to many weddings that still have tons of people on the dance floor when the lights go up, but everyone he has been apart of had that happen. He has a great voice for being the MC and is very well spoken. The up lighting is a great touch. We had multiple people compliment us on our choice of DJ/officiant, but we owe it all to him. You will not regret hiring special moments for your wedding!

Will treat you like family, they go above and beyond

I have absolutely no complaints. They helped me and my husband so much on our special day. Our guests thought they were family everyone at our wedding was raving about them. I couldn't have done it without rob and his wife and I can't thank them enough. Book them you won't regret it.

Brian made our reception so much fun!

DJ Brian was so great to work with! He was really flexible with us when we postponed our 2020 wedding to 2021. He helped us plan our reception timeline in a way that flowed really well. He was a great emcee and got people up and dancing. I had so much fun at my reception and a lot of my friends said my wedding was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to! After the reception, our guests were talking about how much fun our DJ was!

Covid19 Wedding - 2020!

Covid19 Wedding – 2020!

A special SHOUT OUT to Special Moments Entertainment and our DJ Rob and his partner, Tabitha! This year (2020) has been such a roller-coaster ride that made planning a wedding even more stressful than usual. Weekly updates to the Governor’s Executive Orders requiring limited gatherings had created new challenges for our wedding date, as well as the well-being of our family and friends. Two weeks before our event, we decided to make extreme changes to our ceremony venue to allow for proper social distancing – but still being able to proceed with our wedding.

Rob, Special Moments Entertainment, was more than our DJ. He really is quite knowledgeable about the wedding process itself; and was a huge help in keeping things moving along, making suggestions that were considerate of our guests, and supporting the evening in full. From our cocktail hour, through dinner, and then the dance party – Rob kept all our family and friends entertained. He kept a great pulse on our guests, always choosing a wonderful assortment of music perfect for that exact moment in time. Guests of all ages were entertained, dancing, and enjoying every moment of our special day. The lighting used helped create such a fantastic energy!! I cannot thank him and Tabitha enough for making our day such a huge success! So many people were complimenting us on our DJ, saying how much fun they were having! What a wonderful way to start our new adventure in life; but also a wonderful way for our family and friends to congregate safely for a little while!

I would absolutely recommend Special Moments Entertainment for any event you want to make memorable!

Special Moments Entertainment is THE BEST DJ EVER!! My husband and I could not be happier that we chose to hire Brian from Special Moments Entertainment for our wedding! Many of our wedding guests are still telling us how much fun they had and how much they LOVED the music that was played at our wedding. Our wedding was held in a barn, and although my husband and I love country music, we know not everyone likes country. Brian played just the right mix to keep everyone out on the dance floor while also incorporating some our our favorite country songs! Brian is not only a DJ but is also your MC for the night...he is not one of those guys that just sits behind the DJ booth and plays music, he actually interacts with the crowd and keeps your guests informed about what is going on the entire night. We found Brian through the recommendation of our photographer, Samantha Lee Photography, because the two work together often. Brian is a true professional in his field. He is very knowledgeable not only about music but about many aspects of wedding planning too. I made my wedding day timeline based off Brian's recommendations and the day worked out perfectly, we were on time the whole day! I know our wedding would't have been as great as it was without Brian from Special Moments Entertainment!

I am not sure how to put this in words without sounding kinda rude, but....you are stupid if you don't AT LEAST meet with Brian Hood from Special Moments Entertainment! He is an amazing DJ/ entertainer and person! Trust me...you, your friends, and family will NOT regret picking them for your big day! My husband and I got married two months ago and we are still hearing how awesome our DJ was. We were told by multiple people that "our wedding was one of the best weddings they have attended and the music was the best". The dance floor was full the entire night and everyone had a blast! Brian even comes out on the dance floor to help your guests dance along to songs like "the wobble"! How awesome is that?!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
