Kristin & Joe’s wedding at Crabtree’s Kittle House – August 12, 2011

Hi Brendan,
Though we did not get to see you after our last dance, we wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your work. Everyone (young and old) came up to us at some point and expressed how much they enjoyed the music. And it was obvious that everyone had a good time with all the dancing that was going on, well done. You are a true professional and we can see why you came so highly recommended. We cannot wait for someone to ask us if we know of a good DJ because your name will come out before they can finish their sentence. Thanks again for sharing in our special day and helping to make it so memorable.
Joe & Kristin

You don’t need hundreds of guests for an awesome dance party!

Joleen & Julia’s wedding at Bear Mountain on 7/29/2011

Hi Brendan,
You did an absolutely wonderful job! We would definitely recommend you to anyone else having a wedding in New York. I appreciate how you played all of the songs on the request lists that I sent you and you refrained from playing our “no-play list.” You also played everyone’s requests and kept the dance floor moving. My parents especially loved the music and were either dancing or on the carousel the entire night.
You played an integral role in making our wedding such a success and we can’t thank you enough. Our guests have been saying this is the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done before and during the wedding!
Joleen & Julie

Dear Brendan,

Scott and I are so happy that you and your assistant were with us on our special day. The music was wonderful and all of the transitions throughout the evening were seamless. I’m so glad we went with the up-lighting, it made the party feel extra special and fun. Thank you very much for creating an energetic and happy celebration that Scott and I will never forget. Your attention to detail and professionalism exceeded our expectations and I look forward to referring you to friends and family!

All the Best,

Rebecca and Scott

 

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

The Amazing Surprise Guest

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!

Debra & Richard’s wedding at Crabtree’s Kittle House 4/27/2011

Brendan,
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful music.
Everything went perfect, and thank you for “some enchanted evening” Rick loved it.
The music was above and beyond our expectations.Thank you again, Debra

 

The Tap Room at the Kittle House is a perfect place for a violin, flute and piano ensemble.

 

Jen and David’s wedding at Rowsley Mansion in Scarsdale, NY 4/9/2011

Hi Brendan,
We want to let you know that we were very happy with your work and the entire day went about as well as we could have imagined – the ceremony, the food, the dancing and the music.  I think everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves as much as we did.  We also liked how the music wasn’t overpowering so people could still carry on conversations during the reception.  It wasn’t something we discussed beforehand but we were definitely happy with the results.

Thanks again, Brendan…
David & Jen

Maryam & Michael’s Persian/Irish Wedding at The Newark Club on 11/20/10

This Persian wedding at the Newark Club was such a blast, especially when the belly dancer appeared out of nowhere! Maryam shared some awesome Persian and Arabic music with DJ Brendan to add to our ever expanding collection of Middle Eastern music.

The night before the wedding: “I am already anticipating wonderful music.  Karen and Frank are tough critics when it comes to these types of things – so you must be fabulous.  I am also more than thrilled that you and your partner are handling everything…you are a one stop shop for me between the ceremony, live music for the cocktail hour, and the reception.  It is perfect and exactly how I wanted it, so Thank you, Thank you and Thank you.  I feel like I know you already but I guess won’t meet you until after the ceremony…unless you stop by the bridal suite right before the ceremony!!

Maryam
