oss better, and we were so happy with it! The party was BUMPING! I had big subwoofers in my car growing up, so to hear my wedding bump like it did made it that much more special.
I was over the moon with his set, playing everything from pop to hip-hop to EDM and then hitting afrobeat and latin music for our families. Ria’s energy throughout was amazing, keeping the energy at a high throughout the entire reception. I almost pulled my hamstring towards the end while trying to dougie.
From the bottom of my heart, this meant the world to us and you and his team executed flawlessly. Big Man Entertainment is now etched into my life permanently, and I am so thankful for that and that our paths crossed.

The reception music, cocktail hour, bridal party intros, dinner music, dance / reception music was just great! On my big day, it was even better especially being for me! All of my guests were very pleased by the music selection and professionalism of his team as they kept us dancing the night away. I can truly say Courtney and his team are one of the best wedding DJs I've seen in a VERY long time. They do great work and it was awesome having the BME group help make my big day special.

I haven't heard from many DJs that I was looking at but Courtney got back to me within minutes! After meeting with him to discuss my wedding, I was sure I was going to select him as my DJ and I was extremely happy I did. His professionalism from the initial email up to my wedding was top notch. He and his team addressed any and all of my needs and requests and executed the event just as I had imagined. From the emcee to the music selection, my family and friends danced the night away! I am very happy with BME group and Courtney and the service they provide. I tell anyone who may be looking for a DJ to use The BME Group!
