BPM Events

We had an initial meeting to understand our general music vibe, then a meeting 1 month out to dive deeper and run through timeline/logistics. He gave us a comprehensive questionnaire that we filled out offline, and then we reviewed it in a final meeting the week of our wedding. Sam successfully nailed our chillwave cocktail hour/dinner and 2016 EDM / pop dance music themes. I was especially impressed when he knew the 1980s Chinese ballads that we suggested for our older Chinese guests during dinner - and he had his own repertoire! Many guests throughout the day commented on how they loved Sam’s music. Even when we were setting up and doing a quick day-of dress rehearsal, Sam had music playing in the background that I noticed and liked. Book Sam if you want to love your wedding music and have a great time!

figuring out the vibes we wanted throughout the night. He gave great advice and guidance. We had so, so much fun on the dance floor. We definitely didn't play a lot of typical wedding music and he killed it. We can't recommend him enough.

o her work. We wanted to work with someone who was not only organized but who we wanted to spend an entire day with at our wedding and that was Jackiie from the moment we met. From steaming dresses to making sure we were well fed to securing the all-important dance floor Pedialyte, Jackiie was supportive, kind, and always carried the perfect balance of professionalism and levity. She is a genuine person and we felt so at ease with her in our communications and in person. I cannot recommend Jackiie enough.

but who we are as people and what we wanted our wedding to feel like. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all DJ experience; everything was thoughtful, intentional, and completely personalized to us. On the day of the wedding, DJ Nique absolutely delivered. He MC’d the entire event seamlessly—everything flowed smoothly, transitions were flawless, and his coordination with the venue was spot-on. It was clear he knew the space extremely well, which made the whole day feel effortless and stress-free for us. He was also impressively flexible and adaptable. When his DJ setup needed to move to a different location within the venue mid-event, he handled it without missing a beat and adjusted everything quickly and smoothly. He read the room beautifully, and the energy on the dance floor was exactly what we hoped for. Most of all, what stood out was how much he cared. DJ Nique truly wanted our wedding to be special, and it showed in every detail. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, personable, organized, and deeply committed to creating an amazing experience, DJ Nique is the one. We would recommend him without hesitation. Our guests could not stop talking about him.

y amenable, and also technically excellent as far as audio design for different rooms. Cannot recommend any more. Sidenote: I hadn't met the man before my wife got the DJ rec - this ain't a friend review, I just want talent and hard work recognized.

irection was pretty varied, and he did a great job bringing it to life. He nailed all the music cues in the ceremony, let us build our own cocktail hour playlist, created a great vibe during dinner, and then played hit after hit on the dance floor. He also brought great energy, with his signature Prada bolo tie and chill vibes. We’d definitely recommend BPM Events/Sam Turner – you won’t be disappointed!

t to Boriqua Anthem and relatives are slam dancing to I Will Have That Power, you’ve succeeded. He also ensured the audio was perfect for all of our special moments.

t coming up to us and saying how amazing the music was, and everyone was up and dancing. We also had super specific music cues for the ceremony and he nailed that perfectly. The night couldn’t have gone better, Sam is the best! 

our music needs were met. It was a simple process, where we outlined our itinerary and provided him the general vibe of the music we wanted. It involved a quick form to fill out of music we wanted vs. do not play. He did a masterful job of gaging the energy of the guests, and matching that with the right music! I would recommend Sam 100 times over even though getting married usually happens once!

positivity that makes the wedding experience so meaningful and memorable. Jackiie made the planning process feel easy - her communication was clear, thorough, and organized. She has tremendous attention to detail and kept us on track with everything from the big to-dos to the small details we didn’t even know existed. She enabled the entire day to run smoothly and allowed us to feel like guests at our own wedding. She made it a point to really understand our “vision” and get to know us. We feel so, so lucky to have worked with her and can’t wait to work with her for future events.

ue took our wildly eclectic playlist and turned it into a seamless set that captured every mood and genre while still feeling so authentically “us.” We had people on the dance floor who never dance at weddings, and they were out there all night, which was exactly what we hoped for. Our goal was to make the dance floor feel like Studio 54 meets a 2008 homecoming (coming from the suburbs of DC), and he nailed it. He took our must-play list seriously and completely respected our do-not-play list (which was extensive). There were bubbles, flawless transitions, and nonstop energy from start to finish. He read the crowd perfectly and kept the party going without ever missing a beat. Leading up to the day, his communication was spot on. He understood our vision, checked in at all the right moments, and nailed the vibe we wanted from start to finish. We also had multiple live music elements including a ceremony pianist, live musicians, and a vocalist for our first dance, and Nique worked seamlessly with everyone. Since he DJs at our venue regularly, he was already familiar with the space and setup, which made everything even smoother. Simply put, DJ Nique made the night unforgettable.

Not only did he keep the dance floor packed all night, he also made sure every transition throughout the day was seamless. The day was perfect! We also worked with Sam on lighting and décor, and he brought our vision to life perfectly. The space looked beautiful thanks to his creativity and attention to detail. A huge thank you to the entire BPM Events team—you all made our day unforgettable!

ide selection of songs and had a big library. He checked in with us during the planning phases and made sure that we and our guests had a great time. He was available during the reception and helped keep us on time with everything, and everyone had a great time with the photobooth; pictures came out nice. Would book again.

n the comfort of our home our with friends, but not on the level that is needed for day of wedding coordination. Sam, the main point person for BPM Events, was prompt to reply and get us in touch with Jackiie and Jackiie had the same energy. Our meetings (one in person and one remote) leading up to the wedding day were long and overwhelming (because context), but Jackiie made it as painless as possible. She has such good energy so it made the time feel more like hanging out with an organized friend who keeps you on track for a team project. She had reassured us during those meetings, but on the day of the wedding, Jackiie really was ten toes down. I forgot my dress socks. She went to the nearest store and got me some socks. Somehow I was slimmer the day of the wedding and needed a belt because my pants were no longer as fitting as they'd been. Jackiie was willing to give me the belt off her waist! We needed help coordinating the delivery of our wedding cake. Jackiie was right there, helping to plan the delivery and ensuring it was at our venue in one piece. One of our guests tried to come into our suite after the ceremony and again, Jackiie was there, ushering them out so we could have our post-ceremony breather. There are absolutely things we wish we would've thought of or done differently on the wedding day, but not one of those things had to do with Jackiie. If we could go back (with more money in our budget), we wouldn't hire Jackie to be our Day-of Wedding Coordinator, because we would hire her to be our Wedding Planner. Not getting the full package sooner was probably our biggest mistake.

ee that our wedding was the most fun they’ve ever had, which is saying something as our friend group has churned out wedding after wedding. Sam was a huge part in making that happen. He kept the dance floor packed for 6.5+ hours until after 1 AM (on top of the hours he put in for the reception/cocktail hour/dinner). He was game to have an entire hour dedicated to only Polish wedding songs and got our guests hyped and partying even though most of our friends aren’t Polish. To be able to read the room so well and perfectly coordinate the music to match the vibes is truly a talent. Honestly thank god for our photographers because all of our friends were dancing so much that no one had their phones on them for hours. There are so many songs that are forevermore tied to memories on the dance floor, all expertly selected and seamlessly blended. Sam is everything you’d want in a DJ. Our wedding weekend was easily one of the best and most fun times in our life, and the marathon dancing with all of our closest friends and family was a huge part of that. No exaggeration, the memories we have from that time will stick with us the rest of our lives. I love my husband but we both agree we’d want to get married again just to have another DJ Sam wedding.

r us as understood our ideas for the wedding and was so enthusiastic, fun and his love of a broad and eclectic range of music. Throughout the planning process, he was collaborative and provided great suggestions from his experience to make it a special day. The month before the wedding to go through the ceremony to the dance floor and he always put my partner and me in a great mood and excitement. Day of the wedding, Sam knocked it out the park with our crowd loving it and him getting everyone dancing, jumping and even one guest split his pants to his mixes. The crowd loved him and we got so many compliments on him and the wedding being so fun because of his energy and set. Thank you Sam for making it a perfect day!

He took the time to get to know both of us, including our individual tastes and our shared vibe as a couple, and somehow translated that into the most incredible night of music and dancing. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long. The energy never dipped, and the compliments on the music started during dinner and kept coming throughout the evening—and honestly, we’re still hearing about how amazing the DJ was weeks later. Sam was also a calming and confident presence leading up to the big day. Knowing we could trust him with the flow of the evening made everything feel easier. He managed the transitions between speeches, first dances, and other key moments smoothly and with such a natural rhythm. Our dinner was in an adjoining room, and he had everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor in no time. Simply put: Hire Sam!!

our preferences perfectly. He also talked to our family and friends earlier in the night to get a sense of the crowd and absolutely nailed it. We had family members who nobody had ever seen dance tearing up the dance floor, which was never empty. We all could have danced until 4 am if the venue would have let us. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Rob again and will be recommending him to all of our betrothed friends.

ocess. He really got to know us and curated a playlist that made our wedding feel special, unique, and fun! The photobooth was also a huge hit and the pictures are beautiful! Thank you so much!

ional, easy to communicate with, and clearly knew what they were doing. Sam, who runs BPM, was great to work with. He was responsive, transparent, and made the whole process feel so much more manageable. It was clear from the start that we were working with someone who 1. knew his stuff, and 2. wasn't selling us anything we didn't need/want. It felt like working with a friend. Our DJ, Peter Piper, did an amazing job – the music was spot-on all night, and he kept the energy going without it ever feeling over the top. He ran requests by us to be sure we agreed with additions, and we had people on the dance floor from the first song to the last. Several guests said it was a "top 5 night" of their lives, and one said Pete was their favorite wedding attendee (we were not offended). The lighting added such a nice touch to the space, and the photobooth was a HUGE hit with our guests. It made a big difference that Sam provided props for us - the photobooth may have had a longer line than the bar. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. BPM Events helped make our day feel special, and I’d definitely recommend them to other couples.

r the music for each part of the wedding from the cocktail hour to the dinner and the dancing. He made sure all our guests were having a great time all night.

ild as the night went on, and he absolutely delivered. He asked insightful questions during the planning period, always responded to emails quickly, and was amazing the day-of. Sam brought the energy and knew exactly when to drop the late ’90s and early 2000s club bangers we love. We had about 88 guests and 2.5 hours of dancing, and somehow Sam kept the dance floor packed the entire time — no small feat with a smaller group! Multiple guests have told us it was hands-down the best playlist they’ve ever heard at a wedding. Sam created such an unforgettable atmosphere, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day. Could not recommend him more if you want a wedding that turns into a real party!

ills are legit—every transition was smooth, every beat perfectly timed, and he somehow knew exactly what to play next to keep the crowd hyped. It wasn’t just a playlist; it was a full-on experience. He read the room like a pro, weaving through genres and decades without missing a beat. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to bring the party and keep it going, DJ Peter Piper is your guy. No cheesy gimmicks, no awkward pauses—just pure skill and nonstop energy. 10/10 would recommend.

iendly and will make sure you enjoy your special day as much as you are relaxed that it is being handled perfectly. Jackiie’s wealth of knowledge in the event planning industry was evident at every step of the planning and coordination process. Leading up to the wedding she made sure that we had thought through all of the things we wanted to and did not dwell on things that were not important to us; she listened to our concerns at different points and always had a creative solution to offer; when we were most overwhelmed she made us excited again. Day of, weekend of, whatever you need – Jackiie is it! We had several snaffoos that she absorbed with grace and love; from a broken bus, to unexpected guests and all of the other things we will never know because that is just who Jackiie is. Our wedding came together perfectly and it was all thanks to Jackiie. Her vision is creative, her attention to detail is spectacular and her joy is radiating. If you’ve made it to the end of this paragraph we hope we’ve communicated what a joy it was to work with Jackiie and hope that you get to experience the same. Sam was a gift of our venue. As is the case with many New York venues, Sam was listed on the preferred vendors list, with a list of amazing reviews. We had spoken with several DJs before we spoke to Sam and quickly knew he was the one. He was funny, knew what questions to ask to get us talking, and exactly what kind of music we would like. Some meetings later and a deep dive into our Spotify history, we arrived at our Wedding day confident that we were about to have the best dance party we could imagine and that it was. We couldn’t tell you what songs were picked, but there was not one song that lost the energy or people on the dancefloor. Dancing was an essential part of our wedding and we are so glad that we chose Sam to help us make it happen. Sam & Jackiie will let you be as involved in the planning you want, but will also take the reigns and let you be a guest at your own wedding and enjoy the night. THANK YOU both for everything you did <3

er apart from other planners/coordinators who had been recommended to us. From the time we first met with Jackiie, through timeline planning and swapping of unique decoration ideas and non-traditional event adds, to the day of the event, Jackiie was always a joy to work with, with a positive attitude and bringing her own initiative to empower us to see all of our hopes and dreams though. She has a magical ability to make you feel like you have the best ideas in the world, and all of your ideas are fantastic. We felt like we had a powerful advocate on our side while we wrangled together our own thoughts and ideas on decor and events, our friends who would help plan art direction too, and so many different vendors for flowers, music, photography, food and the event spaces. Her ability to problem-solve and ensure all vendors were on the same page was critical to the event's incredible success (deemed "the best wedding I've ever been to," by many guests). She made sure that our tables were set up correctly, we got the poloroid photo stations set up where we wanted, all of our candles and bows were on point, helped the DJ accommodate a last-minute singing moment from one of the guests, and so much more. The event was gorgeous and flowed so smoothly, and in the end, all of our guests were happy and there were no hiccups throughout the long and event-filled night.

giving us exactly what we wanted. He did a phenomenal job at the event, playing a wide range of music including wedding classics and specific requests - the dance floor was full for the entire party! We got a ton of compliments on the music from our guests and would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for the pinnacle of wedding DJs.

for the music at our wedding, but didn't always know how to explain these ideas in words. Sam was so patient with us, and helped guide us through the entire process. The music ended up being perfect! Our guests had a blast dancing at the wedding. We also booked our photobooth through Sam, and it was great add-on!

n we made surrounding our wedding day. To quote my husband, "Hiring Jackiie... marrying you... it's 50/50 for me on what was the best part." Honestly, I'm not even mad if he's serious about it. His sentiment captures how invaluable Jackiie was to making our day run smoothly. From our first meeting, Jackiie was able to help us organize the thousand small parts that make up a wedding day. While overwhelming for us, she handled this work with enthusiasm, calm, and a sense of humor that made it so much less stressful. She made sure that all we had to worry about on our day was having the best time. Her ability to organize and synthesize so many moving parts should honestly be studied. She helped us flesh out what we truly wanted from the day (joy) and then delivered. Yes, we gave Jackiie an abstract concept and she was able to set up concrete steps to make sure we felt it, the whole day. We will forever be grateful for her unflappability, sense of humor, and kindness on one of the most important days of our lives. It was a joy working with her, and we could not say enough good things about her!

xceeded our expectations. He's a great guy to work with and is now somewhat legendary amongst our friends who attended. 10/10 hire him.

questions and really made an effort to understand what we wanted for our big day. He arrived early to set everything up, which helped us feel at ease knowing that all was in order. His attention to detail was impressive, and it was clear that he was dedicated to making our wedding run smoothly! Throughout the night, Sam brought such amazing energy, always checking in to make sure we were having a great time along with our guests. Sam really knows how to read the crowd. The vibe he created was fantastic and played a huge role in making our celebration everything we had hoped for! We can’t recommend Sam enough. He truly made our day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for everything he did. If you’re looking for the coolest, kindest DJ who knows how to create an incredible atmosphere, definitely book Sam—you won’t be disappointed!!

pany to anyone looking for a DJ for an event.

professional, while also bringing great energy and fun to the event. He knew how to read the room and played the perfect mix of songs that matched each moment of the evening. Importantly, he adjusted the volume and playlist to perfectly align with the flow of the event, keeping the energy up when it was time to dance and creating a relaxed vibe during quieter moments. He seamlessly incorporated our song requests, which ranged from motown to dubstep. We couldn't recommend him more highly! He was professional, fun, and truly made our night unforgettable. You can be confident he will put on a great event.

requests and MOST IMPORTANTLY killed the music. Our friends would go up to the DJ booth to request songs only to turn around when Sam played the very next tune that was on their mind. Also a huge perk, he and his team did an amazing job lighting the venue, providing sound for the ceremony and supplying a photo booth. We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. A + S

dding that required a lot of moving parts, especially when it came to the electricity so we had a million questions for Pete and he was super communicative, responsive and knowledgeable. He created amazing playlists for the wedding based on our preferences and was willing and ready to pivot whenever we needed a vibe shift. He read the crowd really well and any time we specifically requested a shift he was super game. Pete's not just chillin while he's working either, he's full on JAMMING the whole time!! Listen, don't think twice, just call Pete!! You won't regret it. 10 out of 10!!

hired him as our wedding DJ. He is such a nice guy with great energy and was always on point with both the music and cuing our various wedding "events," and it was so fun to see him bopping along with all the tunes with genuine enthusiasm. So many guests complimented his work and asked for his playlists! People were on the dance floor for the entire dancing portion of our reception, which is not something I have seen at many weddings. It doesn't feel like it's just a weekend gig, but that BPM genuinely cares about making your wedding special. We also hired BPM to hang string lights above the dance floor which was a great decision; we got married at Greenpoint Loft, and it really added to the atmosphere. It's also nice that they provide this service as it's one less vendor to manage. Highly recommend working with BPM!!

than we could have imagined. I am sure that many wedding DJs just show up and play what they know works, but Sam's preparation was exhaustive. He asked each of us for must play, maybe play, and don't play lists and met with us to discuss our selections. Besides the music, we talked about lighting, atmosphere, location, and even the programming of the entire night. He was also forthcoming with recommendations based on his experience at hundreds of weddings before ours. Sam's experience helped us to structure something that felt light and fun for nearly 300 guests in an unconventional venue. Inevitably, every wedding will involve some improvisation, and Sam -- acting both as DJ and MC for the night -- was ready for that, too. When guests needed direction about dinner service, when we needed to activate a backup bartender, and when a dance went on too long, Sam knew when to flag us and when to flag someone else, and he was relaxed about making changes on the fly. When Sam's big moment came -- the onsite afterparty - - he made actual magic. We expected only our friends would stay for Sam's late night DJ set in a graffitied warehouse next to the dinner venue, but EVERYONE stayed -- family, friends, even borderline strangers. It was an exhilarating, ecstatic experience -- the moment of release and relief we had been waiting for all day. The people who never dance at weddings danced at THIS wedding. People were still lingering long after the bar closed down and as Sam packed up, wanting to stay a little bit longer in the atmosphere he created. Sam was our rock -- a DJ, a wedding planner, a concierge, a fairy godmother. We almost want to get divorced and remarried so we can do it all over (with Sam) again.

vent and guests. Our loved ones were on the dance floor all night and multiple guests told us how great our DJ was. Highly recommend Sam!

dn't even know to ask. And omg, the wedding was the most fun I've ever had. He had everyone (regardless of age or dancing ability) out on the dance floor all night and transitioned seamlessly and cleverly between genres (we wanted a mix of pop, r&b, Latin, etc.) and all of our guests raved about him. The whole room was electric and so joyful and I was only sorry we couldn't make the moment last forever. It was such a delight to see all our favorite people having such a blast. Pete, thank you for helping make this the best night of our lives! Highly, highly recommend. We also worked with Sam for lighting and our photobooth, and he was amazing. He has such a good sense of humor and it helped us stay grounded during a stressful time. His work was impeccable, but even more so, we loved working with him as a person. Thanks so much to BPM Events for an incredible night!!

unky setup, and ensured the ceremony and reception were flawless down to the final song. I had a momentary panic when I smudged my glasses right before we walked out to our reception, and Sam found me with a microfiber cloth to save the day. Sam is a true partner, and we would absolutely work with BPM again.

credit his creativity, professionalism, dedication, energy, and quality of service. His mixes are unlike anyone else's. He is SO MUCH FUN and had every single person at our wedding dancing the ENTIRE NIGHT - no matter their age! He had something for EVERYONE and EVERYONE agreed that his set was better than any dj they've ever heard play, wedding or otherwise. Additionally, Peter is a SWEETHEART and just an all around standup guy. He is a wonderful, patient, kind mannered, funny person and should win every award. Long story short - best in the entire DJ industry, not just weddings. Go to his sets at bars. Hire him or recommend him for your events. LONG LIVE DJ PETER PIPER!!

the dance floor at my own wedding. I would recommend Sam to anyone.

and the experience we wanted to give our guests, that it was very clear early on that we made the right choice in going with Sam and BPM. With all that being said, Sam blew us away with his performance on our Wedding Day. The music, the transitions, the timing of specific songs during the wedding were just superb! He took all of us on amazing journey. What we love most about Sam is that even though we did give him specific songs to play, which he did, he still added is flavor to it. It felt like we were at the best nightclub in NYC. Sam -- we cannot thank you enough! You took our vision and made it that much bigger and better! Thanks again and we hope we are lucky enough to be able to attend one of your gigs in the future. -- Danny & Gina.
