y early, so the cloud and the sparklers were definitely a hit at our wedding!! I am happy I booked with him.

edding due to COVID, and willing to work with us while setting up our new date. Brett was receptive to our ideas, and supported the choices we made for our big day. Before the wedding, he called to confirm our song choices and make sure we were good to go. At the wedding, Brett played all of our requested songs while choosing a fun mix of others that kept our guests dancing and happy. I would highly recommend Brett for your next event- his fun personality and professionalism will make your big day even better!

o we were happy with this. A couple months before our last payment was due, Brett offered us the cold sparklers for our exit thrown in for free if we went ahead and paid our balance early. We complied, but requested a new contract showing this change before we paid. We didn't hear back at first (which was suspicious) but after another prompt, he sent a new contract over. The cold sparklers were great for our exit, and again, we were happy with this addition. Now for the drawbacks. One was unreliable communication. There would be times I would get replies via email within 5-10 minutes, and other times where it would be days. More than one of these times, I was having major issues with the website and needed him to fix something because my 'deadline' to submit our music choices was approaching. The website itself was okay, though I didn't find it to be the best. There were also some issues with the music choices I could add to my list [I wanted a couple of different Queen songs to be played, but they were not the original versions (Adam Lambert instead of Freddie). It was so weird.] After having issues with both communication and the website, I opted not to request these songs in the correct version because I didn't want the wrong version to still be played. However, I ultimately still had this problem, because the wrong version of the song was played when my husband and bridesmaids were supposed to walk down the aisle. It was not a song that Brett had preloaded into his database, so I had to write it out in my form. I'm still not sure how it happened, but maybe I should have specified "acoustic" in my notes? Either way, the issue could've been solved by either a) Brett asking for confirmation on which version because it was one of the most important songs of the wedding or b) having a more user-friendly database that links the song correctly. Also, Brett was late getting set up for our ceremony because he was busy setting up our LOVE letters for the reception, so hardly any of our "pre-ceremony" songs were played, and the ones that were weren't even the most important ones (I had given him an order of increasing importance/order in which I wanted the music to be played). The LOVE letters easily could have waited to be set up during cocktail hour. Lastly, when dinner started, we were supposed to have a transition into different music, and again Brett was late on this; only a few of my songs for the hour were played. I had taken so much time labeling EVERY SONG as either “ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.” Bummer. Overall, our guests were entertained after dinner, so that was good. Some of our “must play” songs were played, not all. Brett did come up to us in the middle of us talking to our guests to make sure "we were satisfied". I obviously had some problems, but I wasn't going to have a confrontation with him on our wedding day (who would want that memory?), so I didn’t say anything negative. He did a good job with the small crowd we had, so that was appreciated! All of the “special effects” went perfectly…which is great, but not 100% why we hired him. Hopefully he can correct these errors for future brides.

as this was a very important thing for my husband! We spent hours making a playlist and uploading each song to our account under our portal for the wedding day. There was almost NO communication up until a few weeks before the wedding and this was after calling Brett multiple times, emailing, and texting. He finally was able to call us back and we talked about specific things we wanted. My husband wrote the song on piano that I walked down the aisle too, and in case it wasn’t long enough we asked Brett to loop it out until I got to the alter. Well, it just so happens as I am walking down the aisle the music stops and there is an awkward silence right before I get to my husband... it was our ONE request for the ceremony and he failed at doing it. He ended up playing his own songs 90% of the time and almost none that were on our playlist, or he would cut the song short! He didn’t know how to read the crowd well!! Please spend time doing research and book with another DJ/company who actually cares about your song requests and making your wedding a good time.

ett for your DJ needs!

communicated with me and my groom during our reception to make sure everything was to our liking. He truly wanted to make sure we had everything we asked for. The guests were really impressed with the "dancing on a cloud" feature during our first dance. The uplights Brett uses were a great feature, as they can be changed to any color at a moment's notice, and can also coordinate with the music being played. DJ Brett really picks up on what music our guests liked, and everyone ended up having a good time! The service was a really great value for what we got. Would definitely recommend!

eception. I especially appreciated his understanding and accommodations when we had to reschedule our wedding from May 29 to August 1 due to the COVID pandemic. He was timely, fun and professional! Two thumbs up from this bride! Southern Style will always be my top choice for DJ/MC services for any event I have!

ran very smoothly. You could tell he could read a room really well and knew exactly what to play to keep the party going and make sure everyone got on the dance floor at some point. They have a very good mix of songs and playlists that fit every style and they played a bit of everything for us and our guests- which is great because we had a good mix of styles of people who attended our wedding. He checked on us and our family during the reception to make sure that we were happy with how it was going which was really appreciated. I would highly recommend using Southern Style Entertainment for you DJing needs! Great quality for a great price!

ime to drive an hour and a half to our venue on the evening of our rehearsal just to give us peace of mind and make sure everything was perfect for our special day. Throughout the duration of the wedding reception, he was very conscientious and mindful to ensure that we felt he was doing a great job. I highly recommend his services. He was amazing, and his attention to detail was second to none. Brett made our first dance, family dances, and the rest of our reception a masterpiece, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

mes to bleep It or cut it and and I put it on his website he makes you fill out. The day of his excuse was “he didn’t hear it”. He played random songs and disregarded the songs I put on his website “as must plays”. We spoke about my parents first dace song being a must play and he didn’t play that. He had every excuse in the book we we talked to him after about the situation. He said he was playing the “genre“ of what we picked And I was confused why he even had a spot on his website tiled must plays if he wasn’t going to play what we picked. We discussed on the phone and on his website about him playing closing time as all the people filtered out of the venue and he forgot that. I had to run up to him and demand he play it because he didn’t want to at first even though we spoke about it. Just a huge disappointment. Very unprofessional. I had a usb drive of my grandfather playing the Lord’s Prayer and at the end of the night instead of giving it to my mom or the wedding planner he gave it the my drunkest bridesmaid. We are lucky I even got it back. I think he didn’t want to face us at that point for the amount of mistakes there were. I would not use this dj again and would suggest if you care about the music at all to steer clear. He literally did not remember one thing we talked about on the phone.

ur first dance even though they had been the ones to pick the version we wanted. In the end everyone enjoyed the evening and we were satisfied with their work.

very step of the wedding planning process, as he was the first vendor I booked. He was a life saver!! We chose the all inclusive package, which made the reception so much fun! Everyone loved the photo booth, and we loved seeing all the pictures from it! The First Dance on a Cloud was so fun, and such a fun surprise the guests! Plus, the pictures are amazing!! Both the pictures Brett took, and the photographer. It’s simply amazing! If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Simply Southern is 100000000% the team to book!!

stant were beyond describable words. If you aren't booking Southern Style Entertainment for your next event YOUR MISSING OUT!

pictures! Highly recommend Southern Style!

tire process and we would highly recommend him to anyone couple looking for a DJ!

ct and that our day would go smoothly! As far as the day of, he kept everyone on the dance floor and even threw in a joke or two and made our guests laugh! The Photo booth was a HIT as well! Brett, thank you so much for everything! DJ plays a huge part on wedding days and you didn’t disappoint. I will absolutely recommended you from here on out. -Deja & Daniel
