DJ Barticus truly made our wedding! He was extremely communicative and helpful during the planning process and day-of. He was also very adaptable as we dealt with weather changes o...
n the day. He was such a fun and delightful presence on top of being a talented DJ, I would recommend him to anyone :)
If we could give 10 stars we would. Dj Barticus had everyone on the dance floor all night long. He included the songs we wanted into his picks seamlessly and added a lot of fun rem...
ixes. Highly recommend all the guests were super impressed with the DJ and have been talking about it for weeks! It couldn’t have been better.
Highly recommend. Barticus was totally professional, efficient during the planning process, and rocked the party. We knew him from our Athens days so the decision was easy to make,...
but very few of our guests knew him and we got many comments after the fact about how good the dancing and music was. Definitely recommend if you're having your wedding in the Athens/southern Ohio area.
Marrying my wife was my best choice for my wedding, but booking DJ Barticus was probably the runner-up. Baritcus is a legendary DJ and it shows. He had my entire wedding up off the...
ir feet and on the dance floor all night long. He was incredibly easy to work with, flexible, and helped us make our wedding exactly how we wanted it to be. There are a lot of vendors out there who do good work, but you don't really want them at your wedding. Barticus is a great DJ and it was a pleasure to have him there on our day.
DJ Barticus did a wonderful job for our wedding! One of our first dates was at a dance party he DJed in Athens, so it was extra special to have him be a part of our big day. He has...
all the necessary equipment for both audio during the ceremony and music during the reception. He made sure to stick to our schedule and requests, and so many of our guests are still telling us how great he was. Thank you for contributing to the best party ever Barticus!
The best wedding DJ you could ask for (and, by extension, any need for a DJ). Michael created the perfect audio experience for our wedding, from playing movie soundtrack songs duri...
ng our ceremony, to mixing the best dance party we could have asked for. Everyone danced all night! So many of our guests were wow'ed by his set, as were we. Very knowledgeable and professional, and made sure that we had all of the details for the day figured out well in advance for the most seamless wedding day possible. All around fantastic and talented human. We will be recommending him to everyone!
There is no better DJ for your wedding, or really any time you need a dance party! The legendary Athens DJ got rave reviews from our entire wedding party due to his extensive knowl...
edge of music across eras, as well as mixing together the perfect playlist of tunes that perfectly transitioned from one to the next. There wasn't a single moment that people weren't on the dance floor. He handled his own set up, was able to work around children, and handled our event with care and professionalism. I cannot recommend DJ Barticus enough, and look forward to the next time I get to attend a Barty Party!
We LOVED having DJ Bart at our wedding! He met with us more than once leading up to our wedding. In the meetings, he helped us plan our schedule for the day, determine which tradit...
ions we wanted to do (including his experience of what he has seen done well vs. be difficult), and gave us suggestions for collecting requests and picking out our songs. DJ Bart showed up early to set up well in advance, he helped announce each event throughout the reception, kept us organized and on time. We gave him a script that he requested for the reception and he followed it well. He had all the equipment he needed. I cannot sing his praises enough! He does a great job of keeping the tempo up but also knew when to play a slow song. His services are affordable--especially considering he is such a well known DJ in Athens! He also drove up to Columbus for us!
If you’re looking a DJ that will keep your dance floor PACKED and GROOVING, Barticus is the only sure bet. We attended a wedding with DJ Barticus on the decks several years before ...
our own wedding and knew, essentially right away, that he had to be the DJ at ours. Of all our wedding planning hires, DJ Barticus was the star.
He is conscientious, kind, organized, and a true professional. He arrived several hours before our ceremony even began to set up all of his gear (including a killer sound system and lights for days) and seamlessly worked with the venue to get his set up just right. He offered guidance when the audio for our ceremony fell through at the last minute, and was just a joy to have around on our wedding day.
We continue to receive comments from friends and family about the music at our reception, and how lively it made the night. The best part? We didn’t have to do a thing. We only asked specifically for a few songs, and DJ Barticus just knew exactly what to do. That is really what separates a typical wedding DJ from DJ Barticus - he has the intuition that only true DJs have to know *exactly* what to play at the exactly the right time. He killed it. 11/10. We love DJ Barticus.
We've loved DJ Barticus's dance parties for years, so when we decided to get married in Athens this summer, we knew we wanted him to DJ our wedding. He was so easy to work with, ve...
ry attentive to all of our questions and requests, and brought all the equipment needed for the ceremony as well as the reception. Our friends and family did not stop dancing all night.
DJ Barticus is amazing. He’s very professional- punctual, cheerful, lots of cool lights and of course a killer sound system. But more importantly he’s fun! Spins all the hits, gets...
a crowd really going, just a blast. Would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a terrific DJ and a great time!
DJ Barticus is the best DJ!! He was responsive before and during the event, played our favorite songs, and incorporate requests from guests in a creative and seamless way. We had s...
uch a fun night and danced our socks off with DJ Barticus' help. Would definitely recommend!
DJ Barticus is grade A prime DJ. He was a pleasure to work with leading up to our reception. He kept the party alive, incorporated our variety of requests (half speed Aerosmith to ...
Jesse Ware), and was impossibly kind and attentive to us! We love Barticus. One of our esteemed attendees even performed a duet with DJ Barticus that none in attendance will soon forget. Long live DJ Barticus! We would recommend to any and all! Wish we could give more stars!
Barticus did a great job DJing our 2013 wedding. He created great flow, and used our list AND similar songs in the same genres as the songs on our list. When guests requested songs...
on our "do no play" list, he had them check with me before he would play them. (Those tipsy friends really wanted the Cupid Shuffle. haha!) We also wanted a very limited cheese factor wedding, and Barticus did a great job of just playing great tunes with no silly frills like games or the silly chicken dance, which is exactly what we wanted. People are still talking about how fun our reception was. Thanks, Bart!
Barticus is the best, he really knows how to get a crowd moving. He doesn't just play the oblivious wedding jams, he digs deep and finds the stuff people actually want to hear. Not...
only have I worked multiple events alongside him, I've attended dozens of weddings he's DJ'd, and he DJ'd my wedding. Always been a pro, and always thrown a hell of a party. If you like jumpsuits and Prince B-sides, this is your guy.
DJ Barticus was amazing! Before the ceremony I provided a timeline to him to follow and he did great, especially with all the changes that I made to my own timeline! The dance floo...
r was never empty! He kept the group moving. The wedding ranged from age 6 months to 70 years old! He was very easy to talk to and coordinate with. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ!
