Look no further, DJ Bruce is your guy!! We met him at the Outer Banks Wedding Expo in March of 2023 and a month later we decided to book him!
We were blow away with how lively he kept the dance floor, everyone danced the entire night! He played every song we requested, which was kinda lengthy but other than that, he played what songs he felt best and kept the vibes going all night!! We had a mix of pop and country, the songs just flowed together so nicely.
He’s such a genuine guy and loves what he does! I highly recommend using him as a DJ. He was very knowledgeable about our venue (Westside Inn), he knew where to set everything up. He was all set up and ready go exactly when we needed him to be!
Bruce was amazing! He was a total professional and didn't hesitate to play non-traditional party music when it was requested by guests.
Bruce was the DJ for our wedding on 9/20. We had a beach ceremony followed by a ceremony at a house, around adult 35 guests. It was a windy day on the beach and the music/officiant could be heard very clearly! The cocktail hour and dinner music was exactly what we wanted. We had only given a few songs for him to understand the vibe we wanted (which was different for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing portions) & Bruce nailed it. He had everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Even people we know that don’t tend to dance were dancing.
We 100% made the best decision we could have by picking Bruce as our DJ. I think our wedding day would have been very different without him. Even talking with other vendors (day of coordinator, catering, photography, hair & makeup) - they only had amazing things to say about him. He made the process stress-free and is straight forward from the start.
If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to read the crowd, adapt on the fly, and make your wedding unforgettable, look no further. I was initially worried about finding the right DJ for our wedding and even considered picking the entire playlist myself. But early into our first phone call with DJ Bruce, all my concerns and need for control started to fade away. We instantly clicked, and I felt completely comfortable trusting him with such an important part of our big day. He took all our preferences to heart, and when the timeline got thrown off, he rolled with it effortlessly, keeping everything on track. DJ Bruce can read the room and made sure the dance floor stayed packed all night. We couldn't have been happier with DJ Bruce!
When we were in the planning stage we heard from so many vendors that if we wanted a packed dance floor all night, DJ Bruce was the one to hire - and boy did he live up to all the hype! We could not have been more pleased, and cannot recommend him highly enough! DJ Bruce was professional and responsive throughout our planning process, and his detailed questionnaire was so thorough that we felt very confident he knew exactly what we envisioned for our wedding day. He navigated everything perfectly, from our beach ceremony music and sound, to all of the announcements and special dances, and even our specific requests for setting up our surprise pool jump to end the reception! Throughout the reception, from dinner/cocktail hour to the dance floor, it truly felt like he knew our exact music taste because we loved every single song he played! And our dance floor was literally overflowing the entire night - if you want to make sure your wedding is good time, just hire DJ Bruce!
DJ Bruce was awesome!! We were kind of picky about all of the different music we wanted to play and he absolutely made it happen! 10/10 recommend!!
Bruce completely exceeded our expectations! We have a very wide taste in music and when we first talked to Bruce we wanted to ensure he was willing to accommodate a seemingly random playlist. He was more than up for the challenge—he mixed music together all night long. We were also thrilled to hear that he recognized our first dance song. He had people up and dancing during dinner and he kept the floor full to the end of the night. He even agreed to stay for an extra hour because our friends and family enjoyed the music so much. In the days following, our music loving family and friends have sung his praises. Even my 83 year old grandmother said that she didn’t recognize most of the music but still found it to be enjoyable! Highly recommend Bruce, don’t hesitate to book him!
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!
DJ Bruce brought the party to our wedding!!! He took the time to listen to our music preferences and I can honestly say I was so happy with every single song he played - the energy was amazing all night. He was organized, professional, and responsive throughout the process. He went above and beyond and we are so grateful we chose him to bring the party to our special day!
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!
-Ashley Masterson Lamb
Wow!!! He had us dancing ALL NIGHT!!! He knew exactly the kind of music we wanted to listen to and did a great job keeping the party going all night!! He was amazing to work with and I can’t recommend him enough if you are planning a wedding in the outer banks!!
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 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!
We LOVED DJ Bruce! He was incredibly patient with our many requests and executed the music SO well - everyone had a blast! It was important to us to have a lot of our own touches music-wise and he was happy to oblige - then he handled the dance party which from what I remember was fun! Highly recommend!!
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.
I wish we could have DJ Bruce at every single event, no matter the occasion - his knowledge, expertise, kindness, attention to detail, communication, and humor all made him fabulous to work with and truly helped make our wedding as wonderful as it was! We are still getting compliments from our family and friends about what a great job he did during both the ceremony and reception. He kept the ceremony music flowing effortlessly for the guests while they awaited us walking down the aisle, then transitioned to keeping the party rockin' all night long during the cocktail hour and reception. I don't think there was ever a moment where someone wasn't on the dance floor! His wireless services were a must-have for us since our ceremony was up on the beach, and the sound through both the speakers and mic were so clear, even with the windy weather. He was so accommodating to our music choices that we wanted played and was the perfect announcer for our wedding party introductions. It was the best day of my life and we all had an absolute blast - thank you Bruce for being a part of our big day and making it so special!!!
DJ Bruce was absolutely incredible! He was the DJ for my son's wedding on Roanoake Island a couple of weeks ago. EVERYBODY was on the dance floor, dancing and singing, from the time we arrived until the time we left. The music selection and sound was fantastic! Cannot say enough great things about him. Also, his wife (unknowingly) did my hair that day! Shout out also to Sierra & Jessica at the Salty Hair Salon!
DJ Bruce is the BEST. So so easy to work with. Every single person we talked to knew of him and raved about him prior to our wedding day which made us feel confident. He did NOT disappoint. Absolute legend!! Highly recommend him. Thank you so much DJ Bruce!!
Best dj! Made our special day so fun. Highly recommend! Worked with us during Covid for both dates and so accommodating.
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!
DJ Bruce was an absolutely perfect DJ for our wedding day! He was professional, accessible during the planning process, and so nice! He took the time to learn the pronunciations of our family/bridal party names so introductions went smoothly, he had no trouble finding the song we wanted for our first dance, he played EXACTLY the music we wanted during dinner, and he TRULY got the party going with his reception music! He is a genius! Our guests were dancing all night long thanks to DJ Bruce!
We all know DJs can make or break your reception... and we are so happy we choose DJ Bruce! Our guests raved about how great he was! He took the time to learn about our guests and be custom to the room. His selections were perfect for our ceremony and reception
DJ Bruce was the absolute best decision we could have made. Our guests to this day still talk about how fun the dance floor was at our wedding and how they've never seen so many people on the dance floor all night! We owe all that to DJ Bruce for keeping the night going. From start to finish, DJ Bruce kept us informed and provided us with a questionnaire so that he knew exactly how we wanted our wedding day and reception to go. We couldn't thank him enough and wish we could do it all over again. Thank you!!

DJ Bruce was so fun to work with. He really took the time to get to know me and my groom. He can definitely read a crowd and keep the party going. Thank you for everything, Bruce!
DJ Bruce is wonderful and brought our reception to life, as well as our ceremony music!
Bruce is amazing! Wonderful DJ to work with, he timed the songs perfectly for our first dance and for everyone to walking down the aisle, high quality equipment & sound. He is such a sweetheart & played wonderful music the whole night, such a great DJ!
DJ Bruce was simply the best! He worked with us to find the best package to fit our budget. He helped us figure out the best way to do our ceremony as we wanted to read vows aloud without having to scream over the waves in the background. He gave us an amazing questionnaire that helped us plan a song for every little detail so that the whole day was exactly how we'd like it. We asked for a 90's dance party to make sure our friends stayed on the dance floor all night and oh.my.gosh. did he give us the greatest 90's dance party ever! We all had SO much fun! When the night accidentally ended early due to an impromptu in-your-wedding-dress pool party and the music couldn't be heard outside, Bruce offered us our money back for the last hour we missed while outside. Talk about service! We love DJ Bruce and can't wait to get back to the Outer Banks to find where he's playing and party again!
This guy brings the party! Everything about working with DJ Bruce was fantastic! He answered our multiple emails and numerous questions in a timely manner and graciously provided the music for both our ceremony and reception on August 5th. He helped my father and I piece together an exciting dance routine that brought down the house! And he kept the guests up and dancing on the dance floor all night long. Even my 87 year old grandma got up on her feet to join the excitement! It's been 11 days since our wedding and we still get comments from our family and friends about how it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. And it's all thanks to you, DJ Bruce! I asked for a dance club atmosphere, and you most definitely delivered!
Thank you so much for the night of our lives!
-Katie and Will
What can we say that hasn't already been said. Easy going, friendly, professional, and most important, fantastic music selection. Played everything we wanted, nothing we didn't, and kept people on the dance floor the entire evening. Also helped us out with timing, pace of our reception. Just a first class DJ and a very nice guy as well. Money well spent!!
DJ Bruce was a stellar person to work with. We had a very specific song request list and he met all of our needs, including playing our college's alma mater after the cake cutting. He made great suggestions and took requests night of. We got married during Hurricane Matthew and we never heard any doubts from him that he would be there. I think he even got stranded at our venue the night of the storm. He was amazing, and we're grateful for people like him who made our wedding possible.
DJ Bruce came extremely highly recommended by just about everyone we talked to on the OBX- and he STILL exceeded our expectations. Bruce was a lifesaver two days before the wedding when we realized our sound system set up needed to be adjusted for the ceremony- between him and Taylor, our wedding planner, the matter was handled and made for a fantastic ceremony. He also easily found some of our more Indie genre music selections and indulged the groom with his favorite NFL team chant. Bruce also came up with an impeccable song choice on the fly at the end of the reception when the crowd requested another song to continue their glowstick dance party. The dance floor was literally packed all night from the very first song after dinner until guests had to literally be kicked off the floor at the end of the night- I think that speaks volumes. Aside from a few specific requests, we really left the music up to Bruce (after all, he is the professional) and he totally rocked it. He had a great variety with classics like Frank Sinatra, to big crowd pleasers like "Shout", 80s, 90s, etc and even some Indie hits thrown in for the bride and groom- basically something for everyone. He knows how to read the crowd, pay attention to whats going on, and definitely work on the fly when needed. What else could you want from a DJ? Although, DJ for lack of a better term because clearly Bruce goes beyond the typical DJ duties and really was the anchor that kept the whole night going. Thanks you SO much for such a fun night that flowed so seamlessly! Would absolutely recommend Bruce to DJ a wedding or other special event!
Bruce is fantastic! He has a great set up so he's flexible to move about the reception is necessary and has just about every song out there. He was a breeze to work with and is fantastic with the details. He seems laid back and a go with the flow kinda guy but he is all about making your day special and all that you want it to be. You can't go wrong with Bruce! Communication was great, cost efficient and he nailed our style down to a T. Couldn't have asked for anything better!
Bruce did a phenomenal job DJing our wedding reception. I think every bride is terrified of the cheesy announcer type DJ's and Bruce is definitely not one of those. He did such a wonderful job with bridal party introductions, announcing the dances, and announcing the speeches and made sure everything went just how we wanted. He played all of the songs that my groom and I requested and did a wonderful job of keeping the dance floor filled late into the night!
DJ Bruce was fantastic. Planning an Outer Banks wedding from out of state required some extra planning, and DJ Bruce was professional, prompt, laid back, and amazingly easy to work with. He is clearly great at what he does- because of his professionalism, we felt at ease leaving many of the decisions for music up to him. He was great at taking requests and timing music and announcements to make our reception smooth and fun. If you're looking for the best DJ in the Outer Banks, DJ Bruce is definitely your man.
DJ Bruce. Was. Perfect!!! I knew just by taking to him, and everyone else that had ever met or worked with him, that he was going to be the best DJ for our wedding day. He did not disappoint whatsoever.
He executed our parents/bridal party/bride & groom introductions flawlessly! His song selections for the entire night couldn't have been more perfect! He kept the dance floor FULL the entire night! He helped make our reception better than we could have imagined it!
We received countless praises from our guests about how amazing he was and how he was one of the best DJs of all the weddings they had attended.
We cannot recommend DJ Bruce enough for your big day!
When we started looking around for music for our wedding, we asked some of the vendors we had already booked and every single vendor said DJ Bruce was the best. We are so happy we booked him, and I couldn't agree more that he was the absolute best.
From our first meeting, we discussed the music we were looking for, and the fact we wanted to avoid all cheesiness, as in no line dances, no cheesy introductions, just good quality music with a mix of oldies and new stuff, to get the dance floor going. He definitely delivered.
He is young, knows his music, and very talented. The dance floor was packed, and honestly I don't think I stopped dancing for the last three hours, because every time I wanted to take a break, a song would come on that I would have to dance to, and well I was a sweaty mess at the end, but so happy! Everything flowed seamlessly, and he did an awesome job of announcing everyone and playing the role of master of ceremonies. All in all a fantastic party, thanks to BRUCE!
DJ Bruce was awesome! Upbeat and kept the party going. Our dance floor was filled from start to finish. Bruce was a great master of ceremonies. 100% recommend!!
Most of the DJ’s I found were all priced right around the same so I based my decision off of reviews I read and DJ Bruce had great reviews. We weren’t much of party crowd but he did a great job announcing and playing great music that got a few of us dancing! Also, for a small fee he played our ceremony music which was another reason why I chose him. Would definitely recommend very easy to work with and quick to respond back to emails!
DJ Bruce knows how to throw a seriously good party that reflects the personality of the bride and groom. My husband and I are from Brooklyn and have little tolerance for cheesiness or bad music. Bruce completely delivered ... he is young, fun, and laid back. He didn't blink when the crowd asked for one last song at the end of the night, and then played something we hadn't even thought to request but is now my husband and my's special song. We were so thrilled with Bruce. He really made our wedding into the best party I have ever been to. Could not recommend enough!
Bruce was as great as all the reviews had said. He did a great job of MCing throughout the night in a low-key way. He did a good job of playing the stuff we wanted to hear, taking requests on the spot, and working with the vibe of the room.
