    We used Big Day for our bagpiper, strings, and for the band at the reception. They were amazing!
    The piper was fantastic, the string gorgeous. We selected very nontraditional music for the strings, and they sounded beautiful!!!
    Finesse was awesome. Everyone was on the dance floor all night, there was never a lull.
    I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

    We were lucky enough to have the services of DJ Kevin Howard. He was very professional; arriving early to set up, checking with our entire wedding party to make sure he had the correct name pronunciations and hitting all of the right cues to keep the reception events moving along. He was completely open and encouraging to our musical suggestions and played nearly every song from our extensive list. He kept the dance floor packed all night and played just the right mix to keep both younger and older guests dancing. He also is not the type of DJ to draw attention to himself. He was straight forward and sincere with all of his announcement and never felt the need to interject in between songs. DJ Kevin was a genuine pleasure to work with and helped turn our reception into a fun and memorable party.

    Dale Allen is a professional of the highest quality. He was responsive to our musical tastes and flexible during the event as the evening progressed. He was friendly, engaging and entertaining! Our friends and family couldn't stop complimenting us on our choice of DJ. I highly recommend this DJ and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    Kim from Big Day was one of the first vendors I spoke with when starting to plan our wedding. I wasn't planning to have a videographer at that time, but Kim still helped me and answered general questions that I had. Well, 2 weeks before the wedding, I decided we did need a videographer. I called Kim and she set it up immediately. KIM is fantastic!

    Aaron our videographer was very good. At times, we didn't even know he was there. We were very happy with the end result and are grateful to always have that video to cherish.

    My husband picked out the videographer to record the ceremony and then to do guest interviews at the reception.

    We had Jordon. He did a great job, he checked in with us during the reception to see if there was anyone we wanted to be sure we got which I really thought was just great! He was polite and funny. A pleasure to have around on our day.

    Dale Allen was our DJ and he was awesome!! My husband and I LOVE to dance so a great DJ was very important to us. The dance floor was packed from the first song until the very end. Many people made comments that they have never seen so many people dancing at a wedding. An uncle even paid for an extra hour of music because Dale helped to create such a fun celebration! He was well worth the money!

    Big Day Entertainment was great. We booked our photographer late because we originally were not going to use one. We had no problem finding one with big day. They gave us a list of the available photographers and where we could view samples of their work online. We chose Dino Bovo. He was very professional but also laid back which made everyone feel very comfortable. He got every shot that we wanted plus a ton more. Every moment that we want to remember is forever captured in photos and that is exactly what I wanted.

    We used Kevin as a our DJ. He was extremely professional, dressed in a tuxedo, on time, equipment ready. We spoke several times before our big day, so I felt very comfortable using his service. During our cocktail hour he played live piano for our guests. We had our reception at Heinz Hall and it set the tone for a very classy reception. He played all the songs we requested and none of the songs we rejected. Great Guy!

    One of my biggest concerns for my wedding after the ceremony and reception location was the DJ. As a young couple, we wanted our party to be fun-filled and with friends and family that love to dance, we wanted a DJ that kept the party going. John was exactly that! From the very moment we talked on the phone to get a sense of what kind of music we liked (and did not), John got a great sense of what kind of couple we were and gave us the perfect blend of music for our younger friends, as well as our families. He made our day what we wanted it to be, including making two last minute changes the night before the wedding: playing the Penn State (our alma mater) fight song, and a song that was given as a wedding gift to us. He included both so seamlessly into the night that you would have thought we had planned them for months. John is professional, extremely kind and truly knows how to get a party started and keep it going. I know that everyone in our family had such a good time, and are all planning to work with John again for future events: birthday parties, reunions and hopefully some more weddings!

    I would recommend this company to anyone for a beautiful day. The dj played for an hour longer than he had said he would so we could have music during our ceremony and dinner. He played a beautiful mix of fast and slow songs ranging from any era we wanted and DID NOT play the things we did not want. Even if the guests begged it had to be approved through us. It was THE BEST!

    Big Day Entertainment is the way to go if you want a reliable DJ!!! They give you videos of DJs in your price range and you just pick the one you want! If something happens on the big day and the DJ can't make it, they will send another one to you! Our DJ Sean Russell was amazing, all of our guests never stopped dancing until the very end!!!!

    We used Finesse which is a band that books through Big Day and couldn't have been happier. They were very professional on time, dressed very well, and above all sounded incredible. They had a male and female singers who had great voices and did many good oldies and new ones too. Did well with the request also.

    We were very pleased with DJ Wayne Dickerson. He played all the music we wanted, he was very professional. The only problem we had was with a slight music mix up for one of our dances and a name mispronunciation.

    We had DJ Kevin and he was great! Very professional, dressed nicely, played the songs we requested, kept everyone dancing all night long (both older and younger crowds), and got all of our introductions and announcements correct. He played the keyboard before the ceremony and during the cocktail hour which was nice and different from many other DJs. Kevin was very friendly, always smiling, and took requests. Everyone really liked him, and I would definitely recommend him.

    I used dj Sean Russell he was very nice, very professional.... Played good music--my only problem was that he played the wrong song for our first dance so I would recommend you check to make sure they have the right song even if the song titles match...

    Although we enjoyed working with BigDay, our photographer was a dud. She was rude and didn't take the pictures that I wanted. I gave her a list and on that day, I wasn't really thinking about the list. She had it and did not follow it.
