Brian was excellent! Even with the pouring rain and an outdoor wedding he was able to keep the event moving and keep everyone having a great time. He truly is a master of entertainment. From the planning process right thru the last dance he was very accommodating of what we wanted and took care of a lot more than just playing music which made our day even more enjoyable. Anyone can plug in a computer and play some music but it takes an expert to get everyone on the dance floor at a wedding and Brian is that expert. I'd recommend him to anyone!

We could not have asked for a BETTER DJ!! We were first introduced to Brian and Special Moments through our photographer, Samantha Lee. From the moment we met him he was so sweet and nice we knew we had found our guy! He has literally dedicated his life to music and it shows in his business! From the planning stages to the day of, he was so helpful every step of the way. And he's so affordable! When it came to the day of the wedding he was the first vendor there and the last one to leave! He literally played every single one of our song requests (and there were a lot!). I was honestly overwhelmed by how many compliments I got from our wedding guests about Brian. He definitely isn't he type of DJ to just stand behind a booth and play music. He guided the entire room through one of the most fun evenings any of us had ever had. His Special Moments Dance was definitely a HIGHLIGHT!! Who knew he was such an amazing singer!! He even got out there and danced with us a couple of times! He literally allowed my husband and I to have the most magical night that was 100% worry free because we knew he was in control and we would not have had it any other way!!

Special Moments Entertainment was the BEST! For my wedding everyone was on the dance floor dancing the entire night, it was literally the best night of my life. Everyone we talk to raves about how there was a such a good mix of music and all of my guests were entertained. I would recommend this company to everyone! and i have! The up lighting provided was perfect as well, and the other types of lighting.

Wonderful DJ! We got so many positive comments from our guests. He had the dance floor packed all night. The prices seem to be on par with other DJ’s in the area and choosing Brian to be our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The evening flowed perfectly and it was a great party! I highly highly recommend Brian as a DJ.

After the first ten minutes of meeting with Brian we knew he was our guy. When we first started wedding planning we were overwhelmed but after talking with Brian we both felt so much better about everything. There were so many little things that we didn't think of that he brought to our attention and gave us advise on how to do them. His selection of music was amazing. He really knew how to find you the perfect song. During our wedding he was great. Brian kept everything on time and running smoothly. Our guests loved him, he was very involved and engaging. He really knows how to get people on the dance floor. I would highly recommend Special Moments Entertainment to all my friends and family!!!

Words cannot convey how absolutely amazing Brian and his DJ’ing was for our wedding on June 4, 2016. We are beyond happy we went with him, and he was by far the best vendor we hired. I have been to weddings where the dance floor is pretty quiet, and was nervous for this to happen with our guests; however, Brian had our guests dancing the ENTIRE time. A few weeks have passed since our wedding, and we are still receiving compliments on how great Brian was and how much fun our guests had because of him. He made the party!

Also, throughout the entire wedding process, Brian was very professional and thorough. He worked with what we wanted and made great recommendations as to what would satisfy our requests but also keep guests engaged, dancing, and most importantly having fun. He made a rather difficult process so simple. It was very evident that he has been doing this for a long time and knows what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to keeping the celebration alive.

We also highly recommend the wedding circle Brian does in which he has guests circle around the bride and groom on the dance floor while he sings “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” Most of our guests thought that it was a recording playing, but it was actually Brian singing the song, and it was amazing!

Overall, we were EXTREMELY happy with Brian and would choose him again in a heartbeat. 

If I could give special moments entertainment a rate higher than five stars I would ! Brian was perfect, the music was awesome it was very appropriate for the crowd it was very tasteful. I had the time of my life! It really is true that the DJ is definitely a center vendor in the wedding and if you don't have a good DJ a lot of things can go wrong. Special moments entertainment is so professional and they definitely know to how to put on a good party and to make it one of the most special lights of your life, so thank you again so much!!!!
