Patrick Byrd Pro Dj and Event Host

that we were very particular about who would be keeping us all entertained and organized for the evening since we didn't have a wedding coordinator. We searched all over wedding wire and finally found Patrick Byrd. Our prayers were answered! He had years of experience, a beautiful, clean, professional set up that didn't look cheap like some others I had come across. We were also happy that he had an assistant who was an extension of him. If we needed anything, his assistant Roland was there to help so we wouldn't have to interrupt Patrick while he was working. After a face to face meeting with Patrick, we knew in minutes we were going to hire him! He really "got us" and we gave him a deposit on the spot! The day of the event Patrick and Roland were like a well oiled machine. They brought in the equipment and everything looked just like the pictures he showed us after setup! As the evening progressed we truly saw the professionalism and smooth transitions from one thing to the next! We didn't have a thing to worry about! Patrick was on the job! I have to make a special shout out on here about Patrick's assistant Roland. I have been to many weddings in my life and I have to say this young man was awesome! During the ceremony he was the "point man" for each entrance of the wedding party. He and Patrick were in sync for each one, especially mine! I had a specific part of the song I wanted to enter at, and Roland's ears were listening for me since I couldn't hear it where I was standing. My entrance was perfectly timed because of him. Also, since we had to transition the tent inside from Ceremony to Reception there was some work to do after the ceremony was over. The vendor we got the tables and chairs from were hardworking and were a little shorthanded due to illness. Roland had no problem rolling up his sleeves and moving chairs and helping haul in table after table so guests wouldn't try to help!!! Of course I found this out later on from one of my family members. I was so impressed! Thank you Roland! Roland also was a lot of fun through out the reception! He jumped in and helped lead line dances, he jumped on the equipment and helped with music during intros before the reception started. Grandpa was so happy that everything went so well on my special day, he put an extra tip in the DJ envelope for Roland. Thank you Patrick and Roland for making my wedding day everything I hoped for AND MORE!!!! I can not say enough about you both. If anyone is looking for a great DJ who can read the room and an assistant who is always on point these are your guys. We consider you family now! Grandpa Hal sends his love and thanks to you both too!!!!

we wanted the night to go. We had a Roaring 20's theme and wanted that to be played during social hour, instrumental only at dinner, and then party music. During our father/daughter & mother/son dance we had the "record scratch" and switched songs and did a conga line and EVERYBODY joined it (which I wasn't expecting), during the cake cutting we switched songs from How Sweet it is to be love by you to EAT IT by Weird Al as we fed each other and EVERYONE loved it. Every time I told myself that my feet were killing me and I needed to sit after this song, he went and played another great song that I couldn't not dance to. Songs that I didn't think our families would dance to, he got them to do it! Him and his assistant both joined us in dancing at some points which helped keep the hype up. He was exceptional! He made the night feel very memorable for us and our guests. My husband and I don't know how it could have gone any better (we had a lot of chaos with other things that day but he made it magical).

le our wedding twice and through it all Patrick never once waivered on helping us. He managed the music, schedule and my nerves with warmth you only get from someone who truly enjoys what they do!

e the wedding and the last two songs of the night. Not sure what you want? He has so many songs and variations to choose from and will help you pick. We picked Amazing Grace to be played during part of the ceremony, but apparently it gets used a lot during funerals. He sent me like 5 other options, but still would have played Amazing Grace if we wanted. We had a problem that pulled the my husband and I away for a few minutes, so he actually got on the dance floor and danced with the guests! I would highly recommend Patrick to anybody, especially if your like me and don't really know music. If you do have Patrick as your Dj, I would recommend you have his wife Launa as your officiant since the two of them work so well together.
