Professional and Adaptive Through and Through!

I was already ready to vouch for Bryan's character and professionalism before the pandemic hit. He held a meeting with my wife and I and was very receptive to our needs. After our wedding was delayed and he took paternity leave, he put us in touch with DJ Ricardo, who was immediately just as helpful, holding video conferences and phone calls with us leading up to the wedding date. The entire operation was extremely responsive to our needs and when it came time to perform, the guests were FEELING it. The perfect mix of responding to the moment and drawing from our list. If we had to get married a THIRD time, we'd go with them again.
Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Thank you for the kind words and for your understanding with paternity leave, Phil! I was so glad to hear that DJ Ricardo delivered and helped provide a fun atmosphere for your guests, despite the heat and humidity. Congratulations again!

Great experience with Bryan & DJ Theo

Bryan and I initially worked together for my May 2020 wedding, which I had to postpone due to Covid. The postponed date was too close to the birth of Bryan's child (congrats again!) so he unfortunately wasn't able to be our DJ. We really enjoyed working with him and were bummed to not celebrate with him in person, BUT he organized a really great back-up DJ for us (DJ Theo) who was just as communicative, detail-oriented, and fun to work with. Bryan and DJ Theo made our special day easy, stress-free, and kept our guests on the dance floor! Highly recommend!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Brooke,

Thank you! We are overjoyed at bringing our daughter into the world, and I so appreciate your understanding in needing to change things up. You have been very gracious and kind throughout this process.

I was so glad to hear that Theo helped make your day special and kept the party going. We are both glad we got to be a part of your big day. Congratulations to you both!

Wonderful and accommodating

Ricardo made our wedding so much fun! He was able to easily set up at our historic chapel, cocktail hour by a pool and under a tent reception. He kept the crowd dancing and having a good time!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Jackie,

Thank you so much for your review! I loved hearing more details about the wedding day, both from you and Ricardo. He sent me videos of people dancing, and it looked like a great party! I'm so glad you all enjoyed yourselves.

Our Wedding

So first off Bryan and Make it Count Entertainment were simply amazing. Obviously there are a lot of DJs that can come to your event and provide music but there is so much more to being a Great DJ. Bryan was in contact with my wife and I as soon as we hired him. He always answered any questions we had very quickly. One thing for us is we did not know the process and best procedures that worked for a wedding, and Bryan had no problem setting up phone calls to explain and help guide us through the process. He also recommended other vendors we needed. The day of the Wedding Bryan was on time and set up and ready to go. He had all the info for us and coordinated with us again on our entrance and songs etc. I would recommend Bryan for anyone to hire for their event.

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Thank you, Shawn! I'm glad I was able to help answer questions and provide guidance for you. I enjoyed getting to mix in some rap/hip-hop to your playlist, as per your request! Thanks for letting me a part of your big day, and I wish you both all the best in the years to come!

Fantastic Wedding DJ!

Bryan was a perfect DJ for our wedding! He was professional, on-time, thoughtful and just did a fantastic job! Bryan was set up and ready to begin with plenty of time to spare, all of our requested songs were played and he had everyone out on the dance floor. My wife and I highly recommend Bryan for your special day!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Taylor,

Thanks so much for the kind words! Your guests were so friendly and laid back, and your best man and maid of honor entering the reception in dinosaur costumes was hilarious! That will always stand out in my mind. :-) You guys were a joy to work with. Congratulations again, and I wish you both the best!

Awesome DJ!

Bryan was the perfect DJ for our wedding! Everyone had so much fun! He was such a pleasure to work with and made us feel very comfortable with how he would run things at our wedding. From the start of our ceremony to the last song of the night, everything went perfectly. Bryan seamlessly transitioned through all moments of the day: ceremony, cocktail hour, bridal party entrance, dinner, speeches, dancing, etc. He was happy to help in any way he could, including suggesting songs for the bridal party entrance, making last minute adjustments, or just promptly answering any questions we had. He arrived early to set-up and was very professional. We couldn't have found anyone else who would’ve done a better job and we highly recommend having Make It Count Entertainment DJ anyone’s wedding!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Deanna,

Wow! What a wonderful review! You and Ryan were a joy to work with, along with all of your guests. It was such a fun, laid back day, and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much. I especially loved the unique setup of holding your reception inside the barn, then moving outside under the awning for dancing--what a blast! Congratulations to you both, and I wish you all the best!

Fantastic Wedding DJ!

I discovered Bryan of Make It Count Entertainment when a mutual friend recommended him as a DJ for my wedding. When I was looking into various DJs, the thing that stood out to me about Bryan was that he was personable and professional. Unlike some potential DJs that I looked into, he was not at all pushy about trying to get our business. So even though his price was a little over our initial DJ budget, I felt most comfortable going with Bryan, and I’m so glad I did.

Leading up to the wedding, Bryan was very helpful with song suggestions as well as the planning of the timeline of events. We had a couple of phone calls to discuss logistics, as well as the overall feel of the wedding.

The day of the wedding was great, and Bryan was flexible when we needed to move the timeline around just a little bit and helped everything run smoothly. Our guests appeared to have a lot of fun dancing, and I cannot recommend Bryan enough!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Laura,

You're the best! Thank you for the kind review. I had a great time celebrating with you, especially when you requested more Taylor Swift, and it turned into a T-Swizzle dance party at the end. :-) You're both so kind! I wish you both the best on your future together!

Bryan is a fantastic dj!

My husband and I enjoyed working with Bryan from the beginning. Not only did we find him easy to work with, but he was also receptive to our ideas and helped us with our special entrance to the 2001 Space Odyssey intro. He played the songs we requested, even songs we knew would get my grandma dancing! He also took time to learn our style and found other songs that kept everyone on the dance floor for the whole evening. So many of our wedding guests have since commented on how great the music was at our wedding. We recommend Bryan without reservation!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Jessica,

Thank you! What a treat to customize your grand entrance to that song. Your guests really seemed to get a kick out of it, too! Thank you for making me a part of your awesome wedding.

Highly Recommend for your Special Day!!

Bryan was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was professional, adaptive and overall just a fun guy! On top of endless email communication, Bryan met with my fiance and I a week before our wedding to review the timeline, made sure all names were pronounced correctly and shared best practices to make sure our day was successful. Our day went SO smoothly; Bryan was set up and ready to begin with plenty of time to spare, all my requested songs were played and he had all age groups on the dance floor. He also had up-lighting in his package which was such a fun addition. I highly recommend Bryan for your special day!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Monica -- Wow! Thank you, thank you! We spent a year planning for and looking forward to your wedding day, and it was so worth it! Between a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Faithbrooke and some three hours of dancing at the end of the night (including some techno!), your wedding was a blast, and such a party. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Bryan was perfect for our unique wedding on the river. He kept the party flowing and always had a big smile on his face and a great attitude. He was also super flexible when things didn't go exactly according to plan (we forgot to toss the bouquet and garter because we were having too much fun). He also met all of our unique music requests. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to make a special event a night you'll never forget. Thanks so much!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Amber - Thank you for the kind words! Your wedding was such a blast and so memorable, between the fireworks over the river and the multi-colored theme. It was a pleasure to go with the flow of the night and play lots of off-beat music choices. Congratulations, and thank you for letting me be a part!

I cannot acknowledge Bryan enough for the unbelievably positive experience he brought to our wedding! He rocked it! Everyone raved about him and though our friends ended up being somewhat shy on the dance floor at times, everyone said they were jamming out and nodding their heads. We asked for more DJ and less MC (only announcing certain, necessary things) and he did just that with a very positive and upbeat flair! We couldn’t ask for a better response from our guests and we are just so grateful for his level of communication prior to the event and his ease once at the event! We did a very rustic wedding venue at a traditional barn and he worked wonders in it. His professionalism and kindness shined through every part of this process, which he was fully engaged in with very frequent communication :) I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Jillian, thank you for your amazingly kind words! I loved how you knew exactly what you wanted for every moment of the day, and I had fun planning out specifics of the bridal party intros, and getting the timing down for other big moments throughout the day. It's great to hear your guests' kind words, too! Everyone was a joy to work with, and I'm so glad I got to celebrate with you!

AWESOME! Bryan was so great - he kept the dance floor going all night with music that engaged a variety of age ranges at our wedding. He was responsive, respectful, on time, and seems to truly enjoy his job, which comes through in his work. I highly recommend hiring him for your event!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Thank you, Emily! Everything from running the trivia during cocktail hour to the Star Wars theme song exit from the ceremony gave your wedding an amazing and unique feel. Plus your friends and family were all a joy to work with, and the 2.5 hours of non-stop dancing at the end of the night made for an evening to remember! I hope you have an amazing honeymoon in Austria and Luxembourg!

Bryan was so great! He went out of his way to meet with my wife and I on multiple occasions and made sure he understood all that we wanted for our special day. Additionally, he was always very professional and accommodating to our busy schedules. During the wedding, he helped the reception flow flawlessly and was able to improvise and adjust to several last minute schedule changes. Lastly, the best thing I can say about working with Bryan is that eventhough we just met, he was a great person to work with and very easy to get along with. I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone interested in his services.

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Thank you, Michael! It was a joy and a blessing to celebrate your wedding day together. Don't worry about the last minute changes; I was happy to adapt to the events of the moment! Congratulations to you and Katie, and God bless the start of your new adventure!

Bryan did a great job with our wedding. Very professional; stayed in constant contact with us about details leading up to the event; and made a great event even greater. Can't say enough about how much we appreciate Make It Count Entertainment.

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Jeff - Thank you! Your whole family was a joy to work with from start to finish. I loved being able to provide music for the ceremony, working with the musicians and the pastor to make sure everything flowed smoothly. Not to mention reconnecting with familiar faces, which is always a joy! Thank you for letting me be a part of such a great day in your family's life.

Bryan did a great job on the music for our wedding ceremony and reception. He played all our music especially obscure songs and other genres that our guests enjoyed dancing to. I was able to list out specific songs for the ceremony and provide him with specific versions of songs from my own music collection for him to play. He didn't pressure the crowd to dance or try to take over the party which I really liked since most of our guests were an older crowd. Would recommend him for any event.

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Michelle,

Many thanks for the kind words and for allowing me to be a part of your day! I loved your unique song selections (plus lots of classics) and the fun, laid back vibe of the day. Congratulations again, and the best to both of you on the start of your new adventure together!

I cannot say enough positive things about Bryan. He was very easy to work with and had so many great recommendations based on the type of feel we were looking for for our big day! Bryan was very flexible with us and made himself available whenever we had any questions. If you’re looking for a laid back DJ that really wants you and your guest to have a great night, Bryan is your guy!

Thank you, Amanda! You and your guests were so much fun to party with, and I loved getting to celebrate with you! You definitely have some party animals in your group. :-) Blessings on your new life together!

Bryan was an amazing wedding DJ. He was very flexible when mid-reception we asked him to switch up the music to a different genre. He also started the reception music earlier, as our cocktail hour needed to be sped up. I highly recommend him for your wedding or event!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Thank you, Sarah! Your wedding was so beautiful, and I'm so glad I was able to help the day flow more smoothly by adapting to the moment in that way. Thank you for allowing me to take part in such a special day!

Where to start? – Brian is absolutely amazing! He is super responsive and professional. He helped me with my timeline, listened to my wants and provided great suggestions for parts of the evening that I hadn’t thought about. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Brian and his company. Book him! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Make It Count Entertainment, LLC's reply:

Christina - Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help out by planning the day with you and offering suggestions; it's great to know that that was such a big help! Thank you for letting me join in your celebration, and blessings to you on the start of your new adventure together!

First of all, BEST DJ EVER! Bryan really keeps the party going and people on the dance floor. From our first meeting, he made us very comfortable and was extremely organized. He is so down to earth and so easy to work with. In every email I sent, he was so quick to reply. I had no worries when it came to the big day. He really got to know us and what we wanted. He even brought awesome suggestions to the table including his new feature of wireless up-lights that really put our reception on a whole other level of awesomeness without ruining our budget. He was so willing to work with our song genres and picked perfect songs to keep the party going. A DJ does so much more than just play music, he is responsible for really judging the feel of the room and making sure your night flows with the timeline. Bryan NAILED this... along with reading our customized announcement for our light saber Star Wars send off. :) Thank you for making our night amazing and helping us throw the most incredible party on our first night as Mr. an Mrs. :)

Make It Count (Bryan) DJ'd my wedding May of this year. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with how it went. Bryan was extremely thorough in preparation before our big day and worked hard to understand our vision for our wedding. From timing of songs during the ceremony, to great music on the dance floor, Bryan's work was precise and tailored exactly to what we wanted. You can tell that he wants to customize the experience to match what you want instead of just showing up for another "job". He was also responsive in preparation for the wedding and very easy to work with (which is surprisingly hard to find!). I'm not giving him 5-stars for each category for the sake of my own efficiency but because he truly earned a high rating based on what a great job he did for us.

Bryan (Make It Count Entertainment) was exceptional from start to finish. His professionalism, honesty, and personality during our initial meeting led to us picking him over a more seasoned DJ. First, Bryan showed up a little early. I am a veteran, and as my wife can attest, timeliness is very important to me. Bryan exceeded that expectation from the start, and was immediately at the top of our list. Our meeting with Bryan was very casual, but professional at the same time. Bryan was genuinely interested in getting to know my wife and I during the meeting. The meeting didn't feel like it was "all about business." We loved the personal touch.
Bryan kept in constant communication with us in the days leading up to the wedding. He did his best to ensure we were going to be satisfied with his interpretation of our desired playlist. To be honest, we knew we were in good hands.
On wedding day, Bryan was very prompt, and had already coordinated with the venue manager regarding his setup, mic placements, etc. This was very important to us because, as many know, things can get very busy the hour leading up to the wedding ceremony. Bryan was right on cue for the specific songs we wanted for certain parts of the ceremony and reception. He literally never skipped a beat! Words cannot describe how happy we were (still) with the reception playlist. We wanted Bryan to mixed different years of R&B, Soul, Pop, Motown, and even a little bit of 90's hip hop. Bryan's mix was magic. We and our guests loved every song, and how the playlist told the story of our love and relationship. He was also a very good MC throughout the entire day. We are very thankful for Bryan's service, and would pick him again in a heartbeat. His prices are more than reasonable, he is very accommodating, and the level of service he provides is first-rate.

Bryan with Make It Count Entertainment is phenomenal!

The most important thing to my husband on our wedding day was the music (no pressure right?). I found Bryan through Thumbtack, and thank goodness I did. Bryan is professional, kind, and fun to work with in general. He worked with me to make things perfect; the dance floor was hopping the whole reception, guests (and even the photographer) mentioned how great the music was, and my husband was beaming even days later saying how happy he was with the music for our event.

Thank you Bryan!
