    Do you want to dance?

    Bruce DJ’ed for our daughter’s wedding this past weekend on Orcas Island. He was on time, professional, and a pleasure to work with. His music selection was spot on and flowed beautifully. He played all the music we requested and in between, his choices were PERFECT, encouraging conversations during dinner and enticing everyone from the adorable three-year-old to the eighty-something grandmother to get out on the dance floor and have a great time. We all danced the night away. We could not have been happier with him!

    Positive Influence For Our Wedding

    Bruce Pavitt was great to provide music for our wedding. In the craziness of 2020’s pandemic we changed our wedding plans to be just us, our two witnesses and a photographer about 6 weeks prior to our wedding. Bruce happily adjusted from performing as a DJ at the reception to now playing music for the ceremony. He again easily adjusted when rain began and we moved our ceremony inside and 15 minutes prior to the event when my beautiful bride decided to take a few “first look” photos due to the rain. His flexibility in adjusting our musical needs really helped make the ceremony laid back and easy going. After the ceremony and our pictures our wedding party sat down for a delicious dinner at the New Leaf Cafe in Eastsound. Throughout our dinner we listened to an amazing variety of easy going music played that really contributed to a nice ambiance for the four of us. We asked the cafe whose playlist it was and she simply stated that “Bruce Pavitt put it together.” He was able to shine on our wedding day twice and would highly recommend him to anyone.

    I searched high and low for the right DJ -wanting the music at our wedding to be energetic and fun without having a "cheesy" DJ. Bruce was so easy to work with, very responsive, and came through to succeed all of my expectations. He completely blended in at the wedding and built an amazing play list off of my suggestions. Throughout the wedding, people kept coming up to me and telling me how great the music was. And people were on the dance floor all night! Actually, after the last dance, people started chanting "one more song! one more song!" because Bruce was that good. Hire this man!!

    You can not really call Bruce a DJ, he is much more than that he is a Music Guru. He is a musical scholar who's passion is to share music with people.

    His knowledge and range of music is unparalleled, Bruce was able to take our recommendations and craft them into a playlist that set the mood and tone for our wedding. He was able to flawlessly transition from Cole Porter to Ray LaMontagne to Daft Punk.

    You will not meet a more humble, caring, talented musician that loves music and that will truly understand your musical taste. Bruce does what great Dj's do which is to combine the music you love with the music that will entertain and keep your friends and family dancing the whole night!

    Bruce was nothing but phenomenal. What would a wedding be without its music? Through intuition and expertise he was able to connect all of the guests at our event. I had plenty of family members come up to me and express that he was playing their favorite music. My mother danced all night, and she rarely dances. I danced to my hearts content. My husband, whom I have never danced with before our wedding, took my hand and we danced the night away. If you want to make a good investment towards your wedding day; give it something that will surely steal the hearts of the crowd and yourselves, Bruce is the DJ to hire. He is an amazing artist and creates a surreal experience through music.

    oh man...where do I start! Bruce was awesome! We are still getting compliments on the music we had at our wedding...and Bruce was the creator of fun! He sat down with me prior to the wedding and we talked about the flow and his vision around our event. He totally delivered on everything we talked about! I can tell you that everyone was still dancing until the LAST SONG...Thanks Bruce!

    Bruce has a real knack for music/entertainment and made our wedding day so memorable. He has such a calming presence and made the whole process so easy and seamless!! With a destination wedding, it's important to have good communication between vendors, and Bruce was awesome. He was quick to respond and always keep the line of communication open. Bruce was fabulous and we'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ !

    Bruce did a stellar job of incorporating songs we wanted with his own inspired choices. Everyone had an absolute blast. I think the dancing ended waaay after the island curfew time... (thank you neighbors!). Awesome. Recommended in a heartbeat.

    "Our wedding had an Art Deco theme, but we didn't want to spend the whole night listening to hits from the 20's. We asked Bruce to start the evening out with older tracks from the era, and to move through the decades to modern music so that we could have a dance party that everybody would want to join by the end of the night. Bruce did a spectacular job digging up cool old tracks from the 20's and 30's for the cocktail hour prior to the ceremony, and as soon as dinner was over his music selections had folks on the dance floor until the party ended hours later."

    Bruce is an amazing DJ and he tailored the music to perfectly fit our music tastes. A number of our guests literally told us that he was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard - and these people had been to a number of weddings. He had a great blend of music that had everyone – both young and old – having a great time. He also helped MC and moved everything along smoothly. I strongly recommend Bruce to anyone needing a DJ for an event!

    “I highly recommend Bruce’s DJ services to anyone planning a wedding. First of all, he contacted us prior to our event to solicit requests and did an impressive job clarifying (and then playing!) the must-plays from our extensive list. During the reception, he played a lovely mix of music to enjoy during dinner and also coordinated toasts, cake-cutting, and first dances. As to the dancing that followed, he did an amazing job keeping the dance floor hopping–there wasn’t a song without someone on the floor! He and his wife, who assisted him throughout the night, are wonderful people with a knowing sensitivity and passion for what they do–I absolutely recommend their music services!”

    I want to say that Bruce and his wife were two of the most professional and courteous people that I have ever met. When I first spoke with Bruce he was very inquisitive and insightful and we immediately knew that he was the DJ for our wedding. Up to the wedding we were in constant communication and he always made sure that we were going to get exactly what we wanted. When my new wife and I arrived at the wedding he was already playing music and set up very tastefully and even some people were dancing. During the wedding he seamlessly wove smooth jazz for dinner in with contemporary music and pop for dancing all night long. Also, he watched the crowd and really appreciated which songs made people dance and recalled upon his extensive knowledge and repertoire to insure that the dancing kept going. When everyone finally left (we were the last ones) they offered to stay and make sure that all of the doors were closed and locked. I would fully endorse and recommend the services of Bruce Pavitt not only for his professionalism but also for the expertise and insight into how make to make a night memorable. Thanks for everything again, you were phenomenal.

    Bruce was incredibly friendly and easy to work with right from our first meeting. We had a pretty diverse range of tastes among our guests, from serious musicians and record geeks to people who we are, shall we say, “less musically inclined”, and everyone had an absolute blast. We can’t think of anyone we’d rather have had in charge of the music at our wedding!

    My fiancee and I both felt that good music at our wedding ceremony and reception was a crucial element for a memorable experience. Not only for ourselves, but also for all of our guests that had traveled from all over the country to celebrate with us on our wedding day. So naturally, we were both thrilled when we learned that Bruce was offering DJ services for weddings on Orcas Island. Bruce was absolutely fantastic to work with. He really listened to the type of ambiance and feeling we were trying to create, took all of our suggestions to heart, and incorporated those into a mix with some of his own selections. The result was a perfect mood at the ceremony and the fuel for a non-stop party at the reception. The one common compliment we had from our guests was how awesome the music was. Several asked for a copy of the playlist. Bruce is a pro. If good music is important to you at your wedding, you will be in the best of hands with Bruce as your DJ.

    Bruce assembled and delivered a brilliant Wedding Reception set of music for us in Sept 2011. Classy, innovative, full of unexpected gems and personal requests. We completely trusted Bruce's uber-deep familiarity with the past 50 years of every musical genre. Our guests packed the grassy outdoor dance floor, and we all let out a collective cry for more when the time came to turn the evening over to the frogs and and crickets. Our highest recommendation!

    I’ve been to other venues where Bruce DJ’d and it’s obvious he has a talent for judging the audience and playing tunes that fit the occasion. He DJ’d my daughter’s wedding and oh my…what a fantastic evening.
    His music made her special day perfect.

    Bruce provided great music that got everyone and kept everyone on the dance floor (Who knew Backstreets Back was a cross generational song!) His set up was flawless and music selection was on point, plus having him on the island reduced the stress of him knowing where he needed to be! We did have a couple issues from Bruce forgetting we changed the Mother and Son song, delay in playing our walking down the aisle song and cutting the music short even though we had paid for the full evening then asking for more money to continue for half an hour. While I would strongly recommend Bruce as a DJ for your Orcas wedding spending some additional time day of and before to confirm details would be wise.

    DO NOT BOOK with Bruce. He was completely unprofessional and downright horrible. He first off brought his girl of the night to the wedding and only told me two days prior that this was necessary. He REFUSED to let us use his microphone for speeches or the ceremony. During our dinner, he got drunk. The venue cut him off. He would only take five songs from us that we wanted to hear. One of these songs we asked him to play toward the end of the night as it is a song a majority of all of the guest would dance to. He ended up playing this song right before we were going to do our first dance, due to this our first dance ended up being everyone on the dance floor. our instructions were explicit. Next, he was playing AWFUL music. I came up and asked if he would change the songs he was playing and he said no as there were still older people there. The venue coordinator and the day of coordinator could see i was upset and asked him to change his music and he still refused. I had friends asking for certain songs to be played and he refused. They were even offering him money but he refused. He was awful at helpfing to direct the night. i would ask him to make an announcement and he barely would say something over the music, so nobody could hear him. To this day, almost every attendee at the wedding has talked about how AWFUL our DJ was. HE WAS HORRIBLE. I would have been better off with a spotify playlist than his BS.
