ir services and would recommend them to everyone!

mental tracks and keeping them all in order. He made important announcements throughout the night and worked with our venue to keep all of our events on schedule. We did have a few communication issues throughout the process and it often required more than one email to get a response. We understand he was likely busy and we were not the only wedding in his schedule, but it added a lot of unnecessary stress. That being said, Matt was great on wedding day!

hear and knocked it out of the park. The reception energy was awesome. Thank you, Matt!

ve, and with excellent taste in music, your reception / party will be better than you imagine when working with him!

hrough. We did not have much time before the wedding, but Matt was able to make time for us. He always responded to emails in a timely manner and was willing to schedule a phone call at any time. He was flexible and reliable throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our Wedding, Matt was an integral part of the day. He was prepared for changes when our processional song I picked out was too short and the guests didn’t even notice. He took in stride any requests from myself or the guests, but knew that some requests may not have been acceptable and discreetly brought them up to me before any changes. All in all, Matt was a crucial piece to our wedding, courteous and professional! I cannot recommend BPM Deejays enough!

we were planning from out of town. The DJ was the one vendor that I thought may be really difficult to decide on since my husband is obsessed with music and used to do a little DJ’ing back in the day. After seeing enough videos of DJs that were annoying, obnoxious, or disheveled, we thankfully came across DJ Matt Swaoger, owner of BPM Deejays. Our introductory phone call with Matt totally put us at ease, and we knew we found the right choice for our DJ. He proved from the start that he was a class act whose primary goal is the satisfaction of the client. He was professional in his work and appearance, and he made sure the bride and groom and festivities were the focus (not the DJ). Matt DJ’ed the music for our outdoor ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, and indoor reception—all at the same venue. During our in-person meeting three weeks before the wedding, he answered all of our questions and provided invaluable suggestions that improved the flow and feel of our special day. We wanted a distinct vibe for the different parts of our celebration and ended up doing instrumental versions of popular music for the pre-ceremony/ceremony, classic rock for our outdoor cocktail hour, Sinatra-type music during dinner, and a mix of “good dance music” for dancing (of course!), which showed his versatility. And he had no problem buying specific requested tracks he did not currently own. Apparently during cocktail hour one of my uncles said “Dang this place is rockin’….,” definitely NOT a boring, awkward, mingling social hour! My husband was ecstatic about how the music turned out. It melded so perfectly into “feeling and enjoying” each moment. Five stars for Matt at BPM Deejays for delivering exactly what we wanted!!!

a huge party, and DJ Steve did not let us down. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. He did an amazing job of mashing up different varieties of music, so that all age groups had an amazing time. He is a true DJ with great transitions between songs. At brunch the morning after our wedding, DJ steve was the talk of the party. All of our guests said he was the best wedding DJ they've ever heard He also did a great job MCing and helped to make sure all of the reception events ran smoothly. I cannot recommend BMP Deejays enough! You will not be disappointed.

to us and proposed a solution. We rolled with it and everything flowed perfectly. The online survey that we filled out ahead of time was very thorough and appreciated.

r wedding was and multiple inquiries on who was our DJ.

planning process with Matt was extremely easy, and before the big day I felt so comfortable knowing that he would be leading the reception and helping us keep to our timeline. The day of the wedding went better than I expected, especially thanks to Matt! He kept the evening moving from one introduction, speech and event to the next. He remembered exactly what songs I had mentioned I wanted to be played early in the night to get my family members out on the dance floor, and once the party started it never died down! We danced the entire night, and I had so many people come up to me afterwards to say how awesome the DJ was because the music was so much fun!! Matt was great and I would 100% recommend BPM deejays to anyone I know planning a wedding or an event!

everything seamless. We would recommend him a thousand times over. Through our experience we found he takes great pride and care in what he does and we couldn’t be more pleased with the wonderful reception he provided.

n schedule. He took our playlist recommendations for cocktail hour and the dinner and executed perfectly. When it came to the dancing, our dance floor was ALWAYS packed. Matt is great with his song transitions and reading the audience. We received so many compliments about how fun the wedding was and we owe a large part of that to Matt. Additionally, we attended another wedding where Matt was the DJ and again, he nailed it. If you know you want a DJ for your wedding, definitely book him while he's still available!

big October wedding! Matt was very professional and responsive to all emails and calls that we made prior to our wedding and met with us two weeks before just to go over final song choices and special touches that we wanted. The week before my husband emailed Matt a list of dinner songs that we wanted played and he played every single one of them, despite it being a last minute addition. He definitely stuck to his word and made sure we had the best reception ever. The near 300 people we had at our wedding are still talking about how awesome our reception was. The dance floor was packed the entire evening and he played every single song we wanted, plus ones that we completely forgot existed. Even added in a polka, which had everyone who didn't know how to polka on the dance floor. My husband and I are so happy on going with BPM. Thank you Matt for making our night so memorable! - Chelsey and Gabe

g. We also appreciated his professionalism leading up to the wedding. He was quick to respond to emails, and met with us in person as well. Not all wedding vendors execute on the communication part, and it can become stressful. Thank you Matt for helping to create the most memorable night of our life!!! -Kristine and David

The music was perfect, the vibe was perfect and the whole team could not have been better. If you don’t hire BPM, you’re making a mistake.

ing our wedding from across the country, and especially since music is such an important part of our relationship!), and after 5-6 phone screens with different DJs, we felt with absolute confidence that Matt was the best. He was professional, organized, and very communicative, kind and friendly, had an impressive resume of past weddings/events, and just seemed like an all-around great guy. Let me tell you: Matt is an incredible DJ. Our dance floor was so crowded with so many guests just dancing their hearts out all night! I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor is THAT packed for THAT long. People are still telling my (now) husband and I how much our DJ rocked and how much fun they had at our wedding!! What we loved the most about Matt was his resiliency as a DJ: he worked with us to really get to know our music tastes and our “must play” songs, and he expertly created a set list that combined our desired array of music, ranging from the classics, to alternative, to country, to pop, to EDM. The way he transitioned between songs and blended different genres together was incredible! We cannot speak more highly of Matt and BPM DeeJays for making our wedding ceremony and reception music absolutely perfect.

ior to our wedding made everything on our day perfect and hassle free. Best of all, they play the music that you want your guests to hear, they just don't fire up a typical wedding playlist. The Photo Booth was a hit with the guests as well. Fantastic pricing for everything we wanted. We will recommend BPM and Matt day after day after day!!!

ter seeing Matt’s videos and reviews, we knew we had to have him! Not only is Matt kind, professional, and responsive, he is a skilled DJ. From the moment our guests walked in to the last song at the end of the night, the music was absolute perfection and the transitions were seamless. But the best part — the dancefloor was packed the entire time!! We weren’t looking to play traditional wedding music and Matt knew exactly what to do! Our guests loved his song choices and his mixing. We felt like we were celebrities in our own exclusive club. In fact, everyone had so much fun, no one wanted to leave at the end of the night! Thank you Matt for making our wedding unforgettable! Our guest still rave about how lit my dancefloor was!

rs they ask for feedback online to help their business - I know sometimes you wonder what does the 5 star really mean. This 5 star represents the serious efforts and though Matt puts into his job as a DJ. You will not experience bad jokes or commentary. He does keep your dance floor full. He knows how to read a crowd and is very knowledgable about music and what songs to play. Just book them. You won't regret it. We have received many compliments!

t going perfectly. The whole process of working with BPM Deejays was probably the easiest and smoothest part of wedding planning.

to booth was awesome as well! All of guests really enjoyed it!! My husband and I heard from many guests that it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to. I highly recommend BPM Deejays and Photobooths!

t his craft!! Thanks against Bill and Jess

ation of the newlyweds but I also felt responsible to ensure that every guest had a good time too. I could not be happier with the experience that was provided. I had a chance to meet in person with BPM and gave them the break down of what kind of setting I wanted to create. They delivered from start to finish. 2 months later, I continue to get feedback as to how good of a time they had and how good the music. I’ve been to almost 20 weddings in the past decade and I can’t recall a better arrangement of songs and a better playlist than my own wedding. Not being biast but it’s true. Highly recommend.

tion to plan our event schedule and outline our music selection online, and to also meet in person on multiple occasions to ensure everything would be perfect. We have received countless compliments from the music selection, quality and professionalism that Matt brought to our wedding. We wanted to imbue a sense of elegance throughout our night and our expectations were far exceeded. He kept the entire affair flowing from moment to moment with ease; from our ceremony to the cocktail hour, and until our very last dance, the perfect soundtrack accompanied our evening! We can't thank Matt enough for all that he has done!

astic!

delivered. They had done a good friend of mines wedding and were by far the best wedding DJ i had experienced and they more than delivered on our wedding. My wife and i were very happy. Very professional and knowledgeable with great equipment.

I wanted at our wedding. My husband and I are very into music and Steve was a joy to work with. Everyone was asking me about how I found him. I got so many compliments about Steve. He was professional and fun. Kept our wedding organized and stream lined. Highly recommend!

r wedding. It's a process trying to figure out who to trust with the music on your big day. When we met Steve and Matt at BPM they did a great job of relating to us and listening to what we wanted. They made us feel comfortable and had samples available from previous events. They made an effort to gather our preferences from the start and clearly laid out expectations of what we could expect. Whenever we had questions, they were always available. Leading up to the wedding, we reached out to Steve to meet up before the big day. He traveled to meet us close to our home so we didn't have to travel to the South Side, which really saved us time during a hectic week. We gave him a list of songs that were must plays and made sure he understood the vibe we were going for. On the wedding day Steve could not have been nicer and more accommodating. He delivered on every single ask we had. My wife and I were completely blown away by how well he did with mixing music up and transitioning all the songs. We're still having friends and family comment how good the music was. These guys are reliable, friendly and true professionals. They will not let you down! Forever grateful to Steve and BPM for delivering an unforgettable experience. Thank you guys!!

on a bunch of other DJ's. The main deciding factor was that there wasn't a set amount of hours that he would play. We had our wedding on my husband's family farm and so dancing into the night was key! Matt kept the dance floor packed long into the night, and we all had a ball. I wanted to start with the positive because in terms of DJ skill, Matt is top notch, but in terms of attitude, communicativeness, and service for the ceremony, he left something to be desired. As the wedding drew closer, I found that Matt wasn't very responsive to my or my coordinator's communications (be it email, call, or text). We had added the ceremony service, and there were a few things both my coordinator and I felt were important to go over. I was starting to feel nervous about our choice, especially because the ceremony music, emceeing, reception music, announcements, etc. are all hugely important to the flow of the day, and we had some non-traditional and specific requests. We finally got on a call the three of us a couple days before the wedding, and he kind of gave off the "this is easy, I've got this" vibe. Unfortunately, that wasn't exactly the case. During the ceremony, there were issues with the backtrack and microphone for the song my friend sang and the recessional cue was late. During the reception, he announced my dad's name wrong twice (it also happens to be my maiden name, so I thought it was pretty unfortunate considering we had communicated for almost a year). He also made an announcement for the mother/son dance when we had asked him not to (because we weren't doing a father/daughter dance, so we didn't want to make an announcement). There were just enough miscues and complaints about his attitude from others who worked with him that day to make me feel like he wasn't really giving our big day his all. That said, everyone is human, and he could've been having a bad day or just feeling a little overbooked, but I felt it important to share my experience so all you brides can get all the info, weigh it, and ultimately make the best choice for you!

ill. He made it so easy for us and was flexible when Jordan wanted to change the song we were walking into at the last minute. He edited down our songs for first dance, father/daughter, and mother/groom which I am eternally grateful for! 2 minutes was enough, I couldn't imagine doing the entire song. The reception FLEW BY it was so much fun and he kept the dance floor packed the whole time! There were some must play songs on our list, and some I couldn't remember if I heard them or not. When I asked Jordan, he said I definitely danced to them. It was all such a whirlwind. Thanks Matt for making our party so much fun!

ommend.

created a special dinner mix for us too. He definitely goes above and beyond! Thank you for being a part of our special day !

/daughter & mother/son dances and one request to finish the night. For the entire rest of the evening , we left it in Matt's hands and he drew upon his extensive knowledge of music to create a seamless playlist of Sinatra-esque dinner music and then a old school hip hop to dance the night away. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice of BPM Deejays.

.

rfect for both! The ceremony was outdoors, and we were really nervous that it would be hard to hear the pastor, bride and groom. However, Matt's equipment was outstanding! Not a single person had trouble hearing us. For the reception, Matt followed all of our cues perfectly and read the dancefloor like a true professional. By the end of the night, some of our guests asked if they could pitch in to have him play for an extra hour! The photobooth by Hot Flash Photobooths was also incredible. We were able to design our own template beforehand. During the reception, there was never a long wait to get into the photobooth! The guestbook that we received with the photobooth is also the perfect addition to our wedding keepsakes. The book is hardbound and will last forever. I could not have asked for anything different with BPM Deejays - we were thrilled with their services and we will surely recommend them to any one of our friends and loved ones.

e same page with song selections. His online site was very easy to navigate and was very helpful in planning the timeline of the reception. We also hired him for the Photobooth.... It was the hit of the party. The attendant was fantastic! Would definitely recommend Matt for any DJ services you may need.

tially learned about BPM Deejays when we heard Steve “Spin” perform locally in Pittsburgh and inquired afterwards if he DJs weddings. Pleased to hear he did, and even more pleased to see the Knot Reviews attest to the quality of service we would be getting. It was an easy decision to use them after meeting with Steve and Matthew in their Southside office. We booked their Marquee Package with an additional Ceremony System to also be used in a separate space for cocktail hour. Throughout the process, Michelle, Matthew, and Steve were all easy to get a hold of, responsive to emails, helpful with planning, and took the time necessary to make our wedding day special for the both of us. Their online planning process is straightforward yet detailed enough to tailor your event to your wishes. Steve went the extra mile by editing our ceremony music from custom selections we emailed him. Steve was very early to the venue, setup well before anyone needed him, and worked with our officiant to get his microphone setup in advance of our ceremony. The ceremony went off without a hitch, as did the happy hour, dinner, speeches, and dancing. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great of a DJ we hired and it showed based on how many people hit the dance floor that evening. We couldn’t have been happier choosing BPM for our Wedding!!!

he does. We had so many compliments throughout the night on what a great job he did, it really made us breathe a sigh of relief knowing we hit a home run with BPM Deejays!

nd they also speak very highly of him. I could not have been happier with the music at the wedding... from ceremony to reception, everything was GREAT.
