After we got engaged, we immediately contacted Brian as well as a few other DJs to research pricing. We were looking for a DJ to do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music along with announcing some of the events like the cake cutting,... toasts, etc.
Brian Jackson was very easy to communicate with from the get go – he quickly responded to any questions we had and was very flexible in finding a package that worked for us while always being very transparent about his pricing. It was such a relief to communicate with a wedding vendor that did not throw in hidden fees after every conversation you had with them! Other DJs we spoke with always tried to add extra fees for random things or they were so large of companies that we didn’t even know who would be showing up to our wedding or what kind of talent they would have. We chose Brian as our DJ ultimately because he was the only one we spoke with that seemed genuinely interested in our wedding and making it the best event possible for us. That, and he actually has the talent to mix and play music. We didn’t want to pay someone hundreds of dollars to just play a song off a laptop… I could do that myself.
When it came time to prep for our wedding, Brian asked us questions to help get to know us better including a thorough questionnaire that ensured he knew exactly how the day was going to go and what we wanted his involvement to be. We were also able to provide a suggested song list, so he made sure to have all of our favorite songs available that day. When it came to our wedding day, Brian showed up early to get set up in both ballrooms and meet with our wedding coordinator to ensure everyone was on the same page. He perfectly executed our ceremony music, had the best blend of cocktail hour music ready (without any direction from us), and was able to quickly transition from cocktail hour to the reception ballroom and different setup within minutes with ease.
When it came to our reception, Brian went above and beyond in helping keeping the events of the night moving along according to the timeline. Some weddings I have been to, the DJ seems to want to be the center of attention - always talking into the mic and making a scene. DJ Brian Jackson professionally and efficiently MC’d our reception from the reception entrance through the prayer, toasts, releasing tables for dinner, and parent dances. When it was time for the dancing to start, he immediately got everyone on the dance floor and it stayed packed the entire night! We had a large wedding of about 200 people, with a variety of different musical tastes from classic rock to country to rap. He flawlessly mixed the best music, of all different genres, all night. With him mixing music on the stage, in addition to his professional lighting and sound, you honestly feel more like you have a live performance instead of just another regular old wedding DJ.
After our wedding, numerous people told us it was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard - and they are completely right. At our wedding, we wanted to make sure everyone had a great time, and for us that starts with great music. DJ Brian Jackson knocked it out of the park with his enormous talent and amazing value. We have already a few couples from our wedding ask about his contact information for their own weddings. DJ Brian Jackson delivers 100% in all aspects, catering his performance exactly to the bride and groom’s wishes. Book DJ Brian Jackson for your wedding – trust me.
