About this vendor
Based near South Bend, IN, South Bend Premier can provide you with top-class wedding DJ services, soundtracking your celebration, and elevating the event to memorable musical heights. Before doing this more professionally, I spent over a decade keeping the nightlife thriving throughout the Michiana area. Beyond the legendary party nights for the local nightclubs and party functions —I'd become a welcomed guest to both the historic Notre Dame Campus, the beautiful school of Saint Mary's, and all surrounding colleges, for professional and student gatherings. A constant factor for every event was keeping the dance floor PACKED and truly giving my clients a lifetime of memories to reminisce over for years to come!!
My commitment to clients follows them to the dance floor! I'm motivated by the experience YOU desire and will do anything within my power to help create the event of your dreams. If a client has questions or needs any guidance, I will be there to assist. On the night of the event, everything will take place exactly how you imagined. When all the traditional stuff is done and it's time to dim the lights and party, the focus will be on your vision for your special event. Mixing your music selections along with a combination of requests and party anthems, new and old, will keep the dance floor packed! By the end of the night, when everyone is exhausted, and the ladies will have switched to wearing flats or being barefoot, the songs chosen will have been sung along to, and everyone will have something to talk about for many years to come! That's what I will do for you, and that is the difference between me and the majority.

Andrew is great!!! Did such a great job with our wedding.
Andrew with South Bend Premier Wedding and Events is seriously the best. My husband and I hired him as our reception DJ and we couldn't speak higher of him! We had an outdoor cerem...
ony and a reception under a large tent at a family members home, so it wasn't your typical reception set up. That didn't stop Andrew from making his equipment and set up look so fantastic and professional. It is really what made the reception turn into a party, people were on the dance floor up until our last song! The prep with him was fantastic, he makes it very easy to come up with the request lists and schedule for the event. He has a lot of wisdom when it comes to songs to be played and the best timeline to fit our needs. There was a wrench thrown into our plans when it ended up raining during the start of the ceremony, which pushed everything back 30 minutes and forced all of our guests under the tent while he finished setting up. We were so happy to find out that he was playing music during this time when we hadn't even asked him to, he kept the atmosphere happy and relaxed! We got so many compliments about the fun dance floor and great music afterwards. I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for any kind of DJ!
Andrew is amazing, could not be more happy with how everything went. His customer service and overall service is well above a 5/5. Thank you Andrew for everything - Adam & Tayler C...

Andrew is the best DJ around, hands down. He was super easy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and he absolutely killed it for our reception.
He got the c...
rowd hype for our grand entrance, he checked in during the wedding to make sure things were going as we had planned, and took our guests requests which our guests absolutely loved!
He has great energy and knows how to read the crowd to keep everyone on the dance floor all night! Most of our guests were still on the dance floor at the end of the night. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him and we can’t recommend him enough!
Super fun Photo Booth, such a perfect way to have a photo for yourself and the guest book. You can also send the photo to your phone. Profession, efficient and kind. It was a cro...
wd pleaser and 3 hours was perfect. I highly recommend the Photo Booth experience for your wedding.
Andrew was our DJ for a Notre Dame graduation party for about 150 people. He was amazing! He definitely brought the fun to the party, and it would not have been the same without hi...
s great energy, timing, DJ skills, song choices and overall positive contribution. He perfectly announced different speakers and activities throughout the evening. The guests had a phenomenal time dancing to his awesome musical choices (including upbeat but quieter dinner music when the dinner was being eaten). His photo booth was a huge hit, and the attendant was helpful and patient. Andrew even custom-designed a photo page template for the photos. He was organized and communicative leading up to the party, and he perfectly executed every stage of the evening. We would choose DJSouthBend again for any party!
I can not say enough good things about Andrew. He was EXTREMELY helpful. He was able to offer so much advice and knowledge in the planning stages. During the wedding he made sure e...
verything happened how we planned and kept us on track all evening, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend him to anyone for their event! The photo booth was amazing as well, Michelle was so helpful and kind. I am so glad I chose South Bend premier DJ for my wedding!
Andrew was amazing and made the whole process super easy and smooth! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding or experience and he truly made the whole night perfect! He did a g...
reat job reading the room and song choice as the night went on. Great job on the microphone as well and keeping things moving, ie master of ceremonies. People are still sore from dancing haha.

still getting texts about how amazing and fun it was. Also the photobooth was THE BEST! Highly recommend the scrapbook as we woke up married and the first thing we did was look through it and relive all the amazing memories!
Words will not do Andrew justice. He was incredible from the beginning. My fiancé and I wanted someone who was open with communication and very outgoing. Andrew was that and much m...
ore. He was willing to take song requests and accommodated all of our wants of the reception. He did a great job of playing a variety of songs and keeping the guests engaged. He was very interactive with our guests as well. We had people chanting for an encore and not wanting to get off the dance floor. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect reception. Thanks to Andrew, we had the most perfect night with zero regrets.
To say Andrew was a phenomenal DJ is an understatement. We gave him a bit of a challenge, and he took that challenge and soared. The dance floor was POPPING ALL NIGHT! He played ev...
erything that we wanted, and added even more special touches that showed his immense skills as a DJ. On top of that, he is so easy to work with, communicates well, and is so friendly. Could not recommended him enough, the lighting job he did was also amazing. He shared with us the effort he put in to making our day special and we can’t thank him enough. If you want an amazing reception, you need Andrew.
Andrew was the absolute best dj we could have chosen for our wedding! He was extremely communicative, never had an issue with the multitude of questions we had and made our dream w...
edding come true! We had very specific requests and he was more than willing to jump in and accommodate them. Our bridal party entrance was more than we could have ever imagined and people talked about it all night long, when they weren’t on the dance floor which he kept PACKED. My husband doesn’t dance at all and by the end of the night he didn’t want to leave the dance floor because he was having so much fun.
Andrew was wonderful to work with!! Guests were telling us all night and days after that it was the best wedding they have been to. Our dance floor was full all night long.
Wow. Andrew is incredible! Not only is he personable and super chill, but he knows how to get the party started. The best of both worlds! He is organized, easy to talk to, and know...
s exactly what he is doing. He did our ceremony music as well as the reception portion and did not disappoint. I mean he really is the best DJ ever!
The lighting was beautiful and matched the vibe so well! He really created the perfect environment, and made our day so special.
Thank you for keeping us dancing all night long—the playlist was unreal (in the best way). We love Andrew!
Awesome DJ. Great vibes on the dance floor all night long. On top of everything and created a special environment for our wedding so it’s a night we will always remember
Our guests had a great time - the music was fun and got a lot of people on the dance floor for hours all the way until the end of the night! Communication with Andrew was great, an...
d he was also very organized throughout setup and tear down. He definitely made everything run smoothly and easily for us. The only reasons we didn't give 5 stars are we didn't hear some of our must plays and we had originally planned for a dollar dance, which was on the itinerary for the night, but didn't actually happen. We didn't notice until the next day though as we were so busy throughout the night.
Vendor was hired for the Rehearsal Party the night before the wedding

to Booth was so well organized with a huge amount of props. We found ourselves in a pickle bc we were putting together the slide show and music by ourselves. Andrew ended up taking care of it for us which was such a relief. The Photo Booth was the hit of the party! Everything was perfect! We highly recommend Andrew and Southbend Premiere. His services exceeded our expectations.

everyone wished we could’ve stayed longer and kept the night going. Andrew was great at communicating with us the entire time which really took the stress off of us and we were able to enjoy the night. We highly recommend him for any events!
Thank you again for everything,

South Bend Premier was the most incredible DJ service i could have imagined. Everything was on point, punctual, reading the crowd, volume, lights, all of it was just talent straigh...
t from experience. My wedding was phenomenal because of South Bend Premier and i couldn't have expected anyone better. We even had to move up the schedule and move things around and he went with it and communicated so well. We had a mashup made by the DJ so the groom and his mom could have a fun first dance, he absolutely KiLLED it. 10/10 recommend for any event.
Andrew from South Bend Premier was absolutely amazing from inquiry until clean up. He was very responsive and we would communicate via email and phone calls. He had me set up my ge...
neral timeline and music choices/preferences on an app - which was super organized and user friendly - and we went over it step by step about a month before the wedding.
During the wedding day, there was some miscommunication between a couple vendors on timeline and Andrew briefly checked with me to confirm what we went through in detail was what I still wanted. I know this may not seem like a huge deal, but I feel like everyone in general, including vendors, are timid about approaching the bride with a potential problem. The DJ at a wedding is basically the time keeper who keeps everything running smoothly; no one ever knew there was any kind of hiccup that evening.
Additionally, instead of doing a traditional “anniversary dance”, I wanted to have a special dance for our parents who have each been married 30+ years 😳 so I emailed Andrew and he called to work out exactly what we could do. He was able to take snippets of both our parents’ wedding songs and put them together. It was a surprise to our parents and they loved it so much - I am so happy Andrew was able to help make that very special memory.
A DJ can really make or break an event and boy did Andrew “make” the night. By the time we had our last dance, no one wanted to leave because they were having so much fun on the dance floor! I cannot recommend Andrew and South Bend Premier enough because of how well he was able to see my vision and make it come to life. I felt very much at ease trusting the evening would be full of dancing, laughter, and amazing memories.
Andrew was the most amazing DJ and was more than we could have asked for. For our wedding. The number of people that asked us throughout the night how we found him or just to say h...
ow amazing he was is too many to count. He had no problem incorporating Spanish and Latin music into the and actually did in a way that kept the dance floor crowded ALL NIGHT! For real that dance was packed at all times! Definitely consider him for you wedding or events. He was the best and really read the crowed as well as was a great MC! He was the absolute best. Oh my gosh I’m so glad we had him for our wedding. He really contributed to it being the best night of our lives!
Andrew did a fantastic job at our wedding! He was able to keep things moving for us on our big day, and he went out of his way to speak with staff at our venue to understand the ti...
meline for the evening. We were incredibly happy with how well he did. Also, we had a special request from him to mix our music between American and Mexican music, and he did an excellent job with accomplishing this task. If you are needing this at your venue, Andrew is the guy!
Andrew and Jose were awesome!! I just got married last weekend and they did a great job with making it a fun evening for us and our guests! They made sure our guests requests were ...
taken care of, the different genres of music kept people in and out of the dance floor. Majority of my guests said their feet were hurting the next day! I totally recommend Andrew and Jose for any event you need a great DJ/MC! If I were to this again, I’d definitely pick them to dj again!
Andrew was simply amazing! He did a wonderful job when it came to making a reception timeline, choosing music and keeping the dance floor full! We received so much positive feedbac...

fun the reception was and no one wanted the DJ to stop playing! Andrew even went above and beyond when he fixed our photo booth rental setup that we had rented from an online rental company. It definitely wasn’t his responsibility to fix the photo booth! His service to the customers shows how much he cares. I cannot thank him enough for making my wedding day flawless. Andrew at South Bend Premier is the best DJ you will ever find!
Sooo much fun! Andrew was very accommodating throughout the entire planning process. He was patient and informative! Our wedding day was amazing & very big thanks to Andrew for ...
that! The dance floor was never empty. We were married in a barn with a large lawn & games. Andrew made sure every guest could enjoy the music throughout the entire property. I have already had guests reach out for Andrew’s information to use for their own wedding receptions. Thank you, Andrew!!!
I had heard of DJ Andrew from a friend on Facebook so I decided to check him out. Andrew's prices were reasonable and he was willing to work and meet with us from Day 1. Like any w...
edding planning couple, we had many questions and changes along our wedding planning process, Andrew was always kind and cooperative leading up to the event. On the day of our event, he played songs that WE liked and had requested. He did a great job of playing all types of music and had excellent recommendations to keep our guests happy! Another service I appreciated was that Andrew not only controlled the music but he also was willing to be an announcer during our reception. He did a great job of announcing our wedding party, speeches, and any information we wanted to give to our guests! It seemed like Andrew really enjoys what he does- he gave it his all and we are so grateful!
Andrew did an awesome job as the DJ to our wedding. He kept the crowd going. Everyone had a great time. The photo booth was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Andrew to DJ your...

Andrew made our wedding a truly memorable night! I was so worried that our friends and family would end up staying seated the entire night like some boring weddings I have attended...
. But our DJ got everyone up and dancing! Our guests all had a blast! He also made sure that the whole reception had a good flow. He customized all the music so that our traditional dances didn’t take hours. My husband and I would recommend Andrew to any couple looking to take the stress out of their reception!
Great mix of oldies and modern music, was able to overcome an initial power outage and pulled everything together on our schedule. Great work, would highly recommend.
Absolutely a blast! The dance floor was never empty. So many people told us it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding reception! The music and the uplighting were perfect....
If you want a fun reception, I can't recommend Andrew enough.
