    #1 Choice, highly recommend!

    We first heard DJ Bruce at the OBX Wedding expo! Immediately from the vibe and music in the expo we knew we had to find out more! DJ Bruce did not disappoint!!! We filled out a brief survey and from their he worked his magic! He played music for both our ceremony and reception and everything was flawless!!! Our wedding guests absolutely loved the variety of much selections available. Very easy to work with! Absolutely no complaints!!! If you’re having any event that needs a DJ, chose DJ Bruce!

    Just Book Him!

    DJ Bruce came highly recommended from our wedding coordinator so we booked without questioning it, and I highly recommend you do the same! Bruce took our little direction and made it into a flawless production from our ceremony music, cocktail hour, reception entrance, and dance floor. He understood exactly what kind of music we wanted to keep folks dancing, and our dance floor was full the entire night. Once you have your wedding date, book Bruce.

    Essential to throwing a great party!

    DJ Bruce handled our ceremony audio and reception music/dance lighting. He was very communicative about making sure he knew exactly what we wanted. I'm sure he took the time to make sure that his microphones and our videographer's microphones would not cause any interference (they didn't!). The reception music was perfect! He knew just the right way to structure the playlist and shuffle when it seemed like a song wasn't drawing enough people to the dance floor. DJ Bruce knows how to throw a good party!

    Gets everyone on the dance floor!

    Dj Bruce was amazing! We had mix of people but a larger older crowd at our wedding and he got everyone on the dance floor. He is easy to talk to, helped with everything leading up to the day. I couldn’t believe how spot on he was with playing the perfect selection of songs at the perfect times. Bruce helped make our day perfect. Look no further- he’s the guy you want!

    Most fun wedding we've ever been to! (And not just because it was ours!)

    Bruce got the party started and kept it going all night! I promise I am not biased when I say that the dance party at our wedding was the most fun wedding we've ever been to. Bruce perfectly curated a playlist based on our preferences and fed off of the crowd throughout the night. He kept everything organized and on track while keeping up the energy throughout the entire reception! We had SO. MUCH. FUN. The next day, so many of our family and friends were talking about how much fun they had as well. Everyone stayed and danced through the end of the night, and we were not ready for it to end. Some DJs try to do too much of their own thing, but Brue knows how to play to the crowd. We feel like we got incredibly lucky with our vendors. We truly found and hired the best of the best. Bruce was our number 1 choice when we did our initial research and I am so grateful that he was available. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. If Bruce is available for your date, you can stop looking now. He's the one!

    the best millennial dance party!

    There was absolutely no question that we wanted a DJ for our wedding...and we were so lucky to connect with Bruce! Bruce did our ceremony and our reception and everything was flawless. We love a good dance party with plenty of throwbacks and loud singing/rapping and Bruce nailed it! Our guests had an absolute blast...although some of them may have had sore knees from getting too low haha ;) Our only regret is that the party had to stop. Thank you again Bruce for such an epic night!

    Dancing the Night Away

    DJ Bruce was absolutely wonderful to work with! We met at the Wedding Expo and I instantly knew I wanted him to DJ our wedding. He sent out a questionnaire and the process was seamless. He played songs for everyone of any age to get on the dance floor and bust a move. He also was sure to pronounce everyone's name correctly, which I think is very important. I'm so glad we were able to work with DJ Bruce!

    Great entertainment

    Bruce is awesome! He should DJ every wedding in OBX! He heard our requests and ideas and made it happen! The music flowed the whole night and the dance floor was never empty! Our intros and special dances were down flawlessly. He really made the reception ours. Hire him, don’t hesitate or he will be all booked up!

    The best under extreme circumstances

    Bruce is the best decision we made for our daughters wedding. He got the party going after a disaster struck when I microburst came rolling in off the sound and just about destroyed everything. It happened so fast and the wind blew everything away. Tables, Chairs, Flowers etc. My daughter was sobbing that her day was ruined. Next thing you know Bruce was up and running and got the party going. It will definitely be a wedding to remember and I have Bruce to thank for that.

    Exceeded Expectations!

    Bruce was absolutely incredible!! My husband and I were so shocked as he completely exceeded our expectations. He was so friendly and it is evident that he loves what he does. Our wedding was a blast thanks to Bruce!! He took any and all song requests and got everybody out on the floor dancing. My friends and guests commented on how awesome he was, we are so pleased with his work and will recommend him to anybody!! Definitely go for Bruce if you are looking for a fun, friendly, and professional DJ. You won't be disappointed!

    I can’t recommend Bruce enough! 10/10

    Bruce has the whole package as a DJ! He, promptly took requests from guests, made sure to keep the music to our requests (but knew what songs to play to get the crowd going as well) and truly kept the good vibes going all night. I can’t recommend him and his services enough! Thank you so much Bruce for helping make our special day perfect.

    Bruce was absolutely perfect for our wedding! I had a couple last minute adds about a week before the wedding, and he threw them in no problem. Any song we asked for, we heard. Then for the rest I told him it was a mix of country and old school rap, which he also came through on! He waited until we were ready to play our final song, and even when my husband missed the groom's cake cutting song, he played it again. He was great through out the night, and we couldn't thank him enough!

    Dance the Night Away

    We were married on May 29, 2022 at a beach house in Corolla. DJ Bruce was incredible to work with from start to finish! We felt really confident about everything even before the wedding day due to his professionalism, organization, flexibility and follow through. He was absolutely amazing and made our wedding day very special, from the wedding ceremony on the beach to the reception around the pool. The microphones and lights were a very nice touch. All of our guests loved the music and had a great time, hardly ever leaving the dance floor. His song selection was perfect, and tailored exactly to us and our crew. We actually extended his time another hour because we couldn’t get our family and friends off the dance floor. We received many compliments from everyone about how amazing the playlist was. We would highly recommend DJ Bruce

    Bruce was absolutely AMAZING!

    Bruce was the best Dj we could have ever hoped for. He was very professional and did a great job at reading the energy in the room to keep the dancefloor going. Our guests were packed onto the dancefloor from 6:30pm all the way up until the venue kicked us out at 10pm. He provides an excellent questionnaire that helps you plan all the big songs. For the reception itself we just gave Bruce what genres we listen to and he worked his magic!

    Amazing experience!

    DJ Bruce was incredible! Communication was great throughout the entire process. Bruce was super flexible in rescheduling our May wedding due to COVID and we are so grateful for that. He was able to find the exact versions of the songs I wanted during the ceremony and the music sounded beautiful and exactly how I had chosen it to be. The wedding party introductions went great after Bruce took the time to learn the pronunciations of everyone in the bridal party. DJ Bruce played each song that I had requested, and all of the guests had a blast. The music throughout the whole evening was exactly what we wanted, and everyone was up dancing all night. Definitely recommend!

    Bruce is the best!

    When looking for vendors for our wedding, Bruce was one of the first people I contacted. He was very quick to respond and was wonderful to work with through the process of planning the music for our day! Bruce went above and beyond to make sure that he had the versions of each song we requested for every moment of the ceremony and reception. He was also great about a last minute change of set up location due to the possibility of rain. Everything was taken care of without any added stress which was wonderful!! Also, the music was a hit from start to finish. Bruce played the songs that we requested but our guests loved that they could make requests as well. We asked some of our guests who are getting married soon if they learned anything to focus on when they are planning and they replied how important the music was to have everyone on the dance floor. To say that Bruce and his playlist were a hit would definitely be an understatement!

    DJ BRUCE didn’t play one bag song! He listened to all our our requests, took requests during the wedding, and stayed away from our Do Not Play list. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long!

    Okay, Bruce ABSOLUTELY killed it at our wedding!!! He was great to work with, easy going and felt out the crowd for what other music people would vibe off of besides our selections. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He knows how to bring the party alive!

    Awesome party!

    We knew we loved DJ Bruce the minute we met him - he was SO patient with us even with some last minute changes and he did the best job with our reception. We were specific about a lot of music then wanted him to handle a lot of the party and he was PERFECT! Highly recommend!!!

    Book Bruce Now!

    We found DJ Bruce on The Knot while searching for wedding DJs for our 2021 Outer Banks wedding. From the very beginning DJ Bruce was very professional and responded to all of our communications in a timely manner. Bruce made everything from the contract, to submission of payments, to selection of our music a very seamless process. We submitted our music selection about a month prior to the wedding. From our selections, DJ Bruce was able to understand the musical vibe we were going for and he was on point all night! We received many compliments from family and friends about how amazing the playlist was which was no surprise as the dance floor was crowded all night! Two friends told us they made a decision to leave the dance floor to go to the bar whenever a "boring" song came on that they didn't want to dance to... song after song was a hit and they had to force themselves off of the dance floor for a refreshment! Being that this was a destination wedding for us, we unfortunately didn’t get a chance to meet DJ Bruce in person until a few minutes before he introduced us at the reception, but he could not have been kinder. The ceremony music also went off without a hitch and contributed to there not being a dry eye on the beach! Overall, there is not one bad thing we could say about Bruce as a DJ or human being. He played a tremendous role in making our wedding day truly unforgettable and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get married in The Outer Banks.
