Auston was so kind and helpful! He did a great job with the music and announcements and made the night a lot easier to organize. I highly recommend him for any event!
My husband & I got married back in October of last year. We heard about Bruder Entertainment through The Knot. Austin seemed extremely ecstatic to work with us & we were looking fo...
rward to it! He was a trooper & traveled quite a few hours to work with us on our special day!
I spent quite a few hours filling out his sheet down to the T to make sure every activity had a song. I also created a playlist that was close to 8 hours long… well over the amount of time we needed a DJ. I gave Austin our playlist prior to our wedding day & he agreed to play the songs that were on it.
Unfortunately, the wrong song was played for our first dance, which was quite a disappointment considering I had spent MONTHS trying to find the perfect song to dance to for the first time as husband & wife.
Once parent dances were finished, the dance floor was open for partying! We were ready to get the party started! Instead of playing a fun song from my playlist to get people out on the dance floor, the song “Happy” was played. Which really isn’t the most appropriate song for a party full of adults. I didn’t think I needed to create a “do not play list” since I had created a playlist that was over 8 hours long. There were PLENTY of songs to choose from. I believe my husband was talking with some guests & made some sort of comment about how this song is pretty much a buzz kill to where Austin responded that he “takes requests”. I thought that was extremely inappropriate to say to the groom, whom is paying for this service. We were looking for songs from our playlist to be played. Hence the whole reason I created the playlist. I believe out of the 100+ songs I had put on the playlist, maybe 10-12 of them were actually played within a 4 hour span…. Pretty disappointing… I understand there were guests going up there for requests, but I didn’t see guests up there making requests non-stop.
About 2 slow songs were played for the guests who didn’t want to dance to more up-beat music. It would’ve been nice to have more of a variety. I would’ve really liked to dance with my husband to another slow song.
Once most of our guests left, I did have Austin play the song that was supposed to be played for our first dance, so my husband & I were still able to dance to it.
I normally don’t leave bad reviews. Which is why I’ve waited so long to do this. However, if we had to re-do our wedding all over again we would choose different vendors in every aspect. I have left reviews for the other venders that were hired for my wedding, so I felt that it was only fair that my honest review was given for our DJ.
I wouldn’t be giving Bruder Entertainment 2 stars if songs from our playlist just would’ve been played & that comment wouldn’t have been made to my husband.
Very professional and fun! Was attentive and receptive to changes that were necessary. Very fun.
We could not have asked for anyone better for our wedding. Wonderfully professional, prepared, and knew exactly what to play to fit our evening! Absolutely perfect.
