We are so thankful we found Brian! He was an amazing MC/DJ for our wedding reception on December 5th. Our family and friends had a great time on the dance floor. Brian kept everyone moving, from age 5 to 80! He also did an excellent job with our request to keep things classy. Our original wedding date was in October when hurricane Milton came through. When we had to pivot and choose another date, he was understanding and professional. We highly recommend Brian Sullivan!

Brian was an incredible DJ!! He worked my companies corporate Christmas event and he nailed it!! By far one of the best parties we’ve ever had!! His photobooth was a blast and everyone enjoyed the multiple backgrounds he provided! I booked him for my wedding next year and my cousin has also booked him! I highly recommend using Brian for any weddings or events you have! He’s amazing! He was able to read the room and the body language of everyone to switch up the music and energy as needed!! I’m so excited to see him hit my wedding out of the park next year!!!

Brian at Beachside Entertainment fulfilled our musical vision for the day perfectly. The ceremony was beautiful when he played our song requests for processional and recessional. He created a custom playlist for dinner to meet the vibe and atmosphere we wanted to create for our guests. We specifically wanted a party vibe for the reception, and he delivered! Our guests didn't leave the dance floor once! Brian also set up a Photo Booth that everyone loved, and the uplighting absolutely helped set the mood in the venue throughout the evening. He was great to work with; highly recommend!

Brian did such an amazing job as our DJ and MC on 11/25/2023 at the treasury on the plaza! He took everything we wanted and made It such an amazing party. I had a strong “no play-list” and he didn’t even try to play the songs I didn’t want. The vibes were amazing and everyone had so much fun! Thank you so much Brian! Highly recommend!

Brian at Beachside Entertainment was amazing in everywhere! From preplanning communication answering every question to being an excellent advocate for the bride and groom when changes needed to be made. We got so many compliments on his music, style, and energy. He had so many people dancing and grooving to the music throughout the night. He is such a natural at his job and is amazingly detailed to ensure he can do everything in his power to put on an excellent ceremony and reception for the bride and groom! We need to think of another event so that we can book Brian again! Endless thanks and gratitude to you Brian!

Brian was the best DJ/MC we could have asked to have for our wedding! From the throughout planning questionnaire, to his great personality it made the whole process a breeze. Brian gave our cocktail hour the right ambiance we were looking for and made sure to keep our guests on the floor all night long. His library of songs is vast and can be tailored to anyone!

Brian was the BEST DJ we could've asked for - he was in charge of the music for our ceremony and timed everything so perfectly, it made me so happy. And he kept everyone on the dance floor for the reception! He even incorporated some Armenian Dance music that I asked him to and I appreciated that so much. He's so fun and kind on top of it all. I would absolutely recommend him to DJ any event!

We hired Brian and Beachside to DJ for our wedding and have nothing but great things to say. Brian is extremely professional and easy to work with. After some initial waffling, we decided to spring for uplighting, dance floor lighting and pool lighting. This was well worth it! My wife had a vision to put our initials in light in the pool and Brian went beyond our expectations in delivering on this, even though he hadn’t done it before. Everything looked exceptional and looks great in our photos. Another worry we had about our DJ is that he wouldn’t be able to get the group dancing. We had nothing to fear with Beachside, as this is where Brian’s deep experience as a radio DJ comes alive. He got everyone, young and old on their feet. In fact, the amount of dancing was so off the hook, that we worried we might literally break the floor! Brian did a great job bringing in our suggestions, while also mixing it up and adding his own flare. He did a great job respecting our do not play list as well. The photo booth was awesome, too, and well worth it. You won’t be disappointed with the Beachside.

Brian was SPECTACTULAR!!! We had a really tough play list with super specific versions of songs we wanted for our "first dance" and "last dance" etc. and Brian came though! Not only did he play the most amazing 70 and 80's party music to get our guests moving, but he also played the best of the 40's and 50's and 60's for dinner and cocktail hour! And that is not all... Brian was able to work with our GREEK band!!! So everything was perfect!! Greek dancing and the boogie down!! IT WAS SPECTACTULAR- A true professional !!!!!

Brian Sullivan was simply amazing!
His links to select our music for our ceremony and reception were easy to use and had extensive choices plus an option to choose custom songs which was great for us seeing as we are french canadian and wanted some of our french cult songs to be included in our party. Brian read the crowd super well and had us dancing the night away till the very last minute. He really understood our music style and suggested/added amazing songs that fit together. He made sure the special requests were included according to the flow of the songs and the evening!
My husband and I were sincerely so pleased with his work and would highly recommend him. Thanks Brian for making our wedding so very special!

Thanks so much Brian for your professionalism and kindness, you played a huge part in making our wedding day PERFECT!!. Best night ever!! Oh and I loved your set up very sleek and classy.

Brian is so great, super friendly and super high energy. He kept our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception rocking along, and incorporated all of our (sometimes ridiculous) requests. He has an intuitive site where you choose songs, and he even accommodated a couple of songs that weren't in the catalog, including trimming down a song I wanted to use to walk down the aisle. Brian was wonderful to work with and really made it so we didn't have to worry / stress about anything.
We did the Royal Palm Package and it was perfect! Everyone wanted the party to keep going (I have never heard people chant 'one more song,' and heck, he played one more song!), and the sweetest was our last dance by ourselves after our guests left. The up lighting really enhanced the room, Brian's DJ station was great, and y'all - that selfie station! Get the selfie station! I have loved clicking through all of the guests pics, and everyone loved it.
Only hiccup (that only myself & the groom noticed), and it was on myself and the groom, was that we didn't confirm which version of our first dance song (James Taylor vs. Marvin Gaye), but to be honest I didn't even realize it wasn't the James Taylor version until halfway through, haha! It kinda makes a funny story anyhow. :)
Book Brian with Beachside, you will not be disappointed!

Brian is a gem! After one phone call I knew he was the perfect fit for us. His online service for ceremony/reception selections and misc. requests was easy to work with and made the process very simple. He made all the musical transitions seamless. I mean, he somehow made Rat Pack music mesh with 90s Country during dinner service — WOW! It was so beautiful to sit back and watch our families dance the night away.

Brian nailed it! We gave him some direction as to what we wanted and he ran with it. He professionally and eloquently handled all of the formal announcement, toasts, etc... and then transitioned is into one heck of a dance party. We loved working with him. His online tool for music selection is fantastic and fun to go through with your bride or groom to be! Thanks so much Brian and be careful playing that Whitney Houston for the gays you saw how excited we get 😂😂😂

Brian is amazing!! He is so easy to work with and is just a phone call away for any questions! We had a good friend that we wanted to play guitar and sing at our rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour. Brian helped us with that no problem! Everyones concerns when thinking about there wedding is "what is nobody dances?!" and "I don't want an empty dance floor!". Let me tell you, with Brian, you don't have to worry about that. The dance floor was constantly packed at our wedding!! He plays things everyone will like! All of our guests were commenting on how much fun they had. Brian is the best!

Wow, there is no way we could have been any happier having Brian as our DJ!!! We would absolutely recommend him to any couple! He was personable, professional, and attentive. He spent time with us both in person and on the phone before our wedding to make sure everything was what we wanted, spending extra time with me when I was having trouble deciding on my song to walk down the aisle to. He made us feel comfortable and i was completely assured that everything would go smoothly on the big day! He listened to what types of music we were interested in, took our request list and made the absolute perfect playlist. To the point where some of my guests came up to us to specifically compliment the music selection. He is full of energy and a lot of fun to work with and we would definitely work with him again in the future!

Brian was great! Very accommodating. My husband and I were very nervous about our first dance and didn't want to dance through the whole thing so Brian told us to just give him a nod and he would find a good spot to end the song. He took requests and was able to read the crowd and knew what songs to play to keep everyone on the dance floor.

I am lover of music and the dance floor. One of the main goals for us was to make sure our guests had a good time and the dance floor was full the entire night. Brian definitely made that happen! Brian is very laid back and is easy work with. My husband and I enjoy all different types of music and it was important we had someone who could switch seamlessly between genres and languages. He made sure we were able to party and dance the entire reception. We have so many great memories from that night and a lot of them were on the dance floor. Book Brian for your wedding, you’ll be glad you did!

One main goal of our wedding was to ensure everyone had the best time from the second the stepped into the ceremony, to when they left, & thanks to the help of Brian, our guests can't stop talking about what a fun party it was. He got them up on the dance floor exactly when the time was right and played great music up until the last minute. Very professional as well!

Brian did an AMAZING job at our wedding. We booked Brian over a year out and he was so great about keeping in touch throughout the planning process. Music is such a passion of mine and so I was thrilled to see how Brian organizes his playlists online where the bride/groom select Must Play, Play If There is Time, and Do Not Play. Brian's online forms are so thorough that it made it so easy in the planning for the day.
Brian did an amazing job setting up the sound system for the ceremony, providing a beautiful cake spot light, and being the MC/DJ for the evening. He really felt the crowd in what people liked to danced to because the ballroom was empty and everyone was on the dance floor the whole night. I couldn't have asked for a better evening. The music was perfect and Brian did such a great job working through all of our special events: dances, cake cutting, etc.
Brian was such a joy to work with. Really a nice guy who cares a lot about making the event memorable. He was very easy to get in touch with. He responded to emails and txts within minutes. I would highly recommend Brian and Beachside Entertainment for all of your party needs. Such a pleasure working with him.

Looking for a DJ, Brian’s your guy!!
Brian Sullivan with Beachside Entertainment was such a pleasure to work with! My wife and I had such a horror experience with our previous DJ, we were nervous to have to start from scratch again with the search; but everything happens for a reason. Brian immediately returned my call, eager to get things started – his enthusiasm was amazing!
He assured us that everything would go smoothly, and it did! Beachside Entertainment’s website is easy to use and helps tremendously with organization! We did a run through via telephone since we were from out of town a couple days prior to the big day, and he nailed it.
Also, Beachside Entertainment (Brain) is an insured company, so if your venue requests such thing, you’ll have no problem!
Thanks again Brain for such an amazing night, everyone had a blast!!

Brian was so much fun to work with. Brian had everything set up online and we could change the songs, line up, names..anything, as many times we wanted. It was so easy to plan. The sound was perfect, I even had a bridesmaid that is getting married that booked him after our wedding. We received so many compliments on our music. He also worked very well with my venue, which made things so easy for us!

Brian was professional from start to finish. He talked to me on the phone several times to get me the package that we needed for our service and reception. He set up out of the way for our ceremony and worked with our coordinator to get things flowing smoothly. The transition to the reception was easy (from my end, he made it look easy!) and he was patient while our wedding party was gathered. He played all the songs we requested and for the reception, he played the best mix I have ever heard. He started out with beachy music (Buffett, Jack Johnson, etc.) and went into livelier dance music. He played a great mix of new dance music and classic favorites like "Shout!" When it got darker, he pulled out a dance floor light to keep everyone going. I realy appreciate everything he did to make our wedding a party!
