Stephanie & Josh – Battery Gardens Restaurant – NYC – September 2013


WEDDING WIRE 5 Star Review:

Brendan was fantastic to work with. Finding a DJ was surprisingly one of the hardest things to do. We met a handful and none of them made us feel confident until we contacted Brendan (BOK).

He was extremely responsive, attentive, and thorough leading up to the day. He is efficient – he uses a Google Dox spreadsheet for you to fill out all of your details, and this allows you to make changes and be as specific as you need to be. This was a great way to guarantee he was providing EXACTLY what we were looking for.

We booked him for four hours of dinner and dance music and added a few uplights for a very small extra charge – and it was definitely worth the extra charge. He was attentive and worked well with our coordinator the night of.

Most importantly, he and his assistant were great DJs. We had a crowd that loved to dance and the floor was pretty packed the whole night. He played everything on our ‘Must Play’ list and nothing on our ‘Do Not Play List.’ So they did all the right things! And everyone commented during and after how great the music was.

Sol & Kelly – Colbeh Restaurant – Great Neck – November 2012

Brendan did a really spectacular job DJ’ing our wedding. You should use him for yours!

Right from the beginning, he knew exactly what to do. He is super organized, and does a great job helping you pick what songs should happen when. He is also very flexible and can do whatever you want. We had a set of religious music that we wanted him to play, and sent him the mp3’s and he took care of the rest!

He played piano for us during the ceremony (he is a trained musician), and then switched to DJ mode during the reception. He even tuned my guitar for me, before I played a song at the wedding.

He didn’t need any supervision, and we never needed to make sure he was where he needed to be. He has been to enough weddings, that he knew exactly what he needed to do, and we didn’t need to worry about it.

When it comes to the actual DJ’ing, he also did a great job. From him, I learned this neat trick of playing the old school music to get all the older people on the dance floor, then switching it to contemporary, and everyone just keeps dancing.

I highly recommend you go with Brendan, you will not be disappointed.

 
Sol and Kelly’s wedding reception started out as a traditional Orthodox Jewish wedding with the mechitza separating the women from the men. Eventually, the music and dancing evolved to a more contemporary mix.

Brendan,

Thanks, and you did spectacular! Kelly and I are still coming down from the post-wedding craziness, but we were just talking about needing to get in touch with you. We want to thank you so much for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. Additionally, we want to write a great yelp review / testimonial for you, and would be happy to serve as a reference for any of your potential clients in the future.

Thanks,
Kelly and Sol

Brendan, Thank you so very much for assigning Dave to be our DJ!  He made our wedding an amazing event!  He played the songs off the “must play” list and picked his own songs to go completely with our stlye.  Many, many guests have raved about your companies services and I will be recommending you as much as I can!  The up-lighting was flawless and we could not be happier with the outcome!  Thank you for extending your wonderful service and making our wedding more special than we could have imagined!
Thanks Dave!  Great job!

Pam & Doug – CV Rich Mansion – White Plains – October 2011

Pam & Doug and their guests were treated to a Baroque violin, flute and harpsichord wedding ceremony and an amazing October day. Later, in the grand ballroom, everyone got the feeling.

Thank you for a wonderful night of music and entertainment! My guests loved you and so did we. The musicians added such a classy touch to cocktail hour. And the music throughout the reception was just perfect. Thank you for being so flexible with our music selections, it made it so personal. 
It was a great day! Thank you for all you and your crew did!
I will definitely keep you in mind for future events and I will be happy to recommend you to family and friends.
Fondly,
Pamela : )

Dear Brendan,

Hi Brendan,
We were delighted with your presentation and performance at Rebecca’s wedding! We loved your style, the lights and the atmosphere. Your performance before the event was equally impressive. You communicate effectively and manage information meticulously. One wedding down -three to go!

Thank you so much. Dorothy – the mother of the bride

Kate’s 40th birthday party at 202 east, NYC on 6/4/11

BOK-Music’s Up-Lighting and 202 east’s design made a spectacular combination! Birthday girl Kate gave DJs Lotte and Brendan a great list of 80’s New Wave hits to mix. Great food and staff from Charlotte’s Catering made for a superb celebration!

Thank you for making the party so fun Brendan… you managed the transition from cocktails to dancing brilliantly… and even managed to make Mister Travolta look good… the up-lighting really added great ambiance… I was with my parents last night at dinner at the Field Club in Greenwich… Martina was asking us about the birthday party and I said there was a DJ who didn’t make my parents cringe (at least until they left the party)… she also said you were wonderful at their events…
 Kate!

Who needs karaoke with guests like these?
