Rock Around The Clock!

And that is an understatement. Bryan Durio did a fantastic job. He was professional, played great music each stage of the evening and was very conscious of the party and the flow.

"He completely took control and it was wonderful"

When we arrived, Bryan was there in a tux, and immediately came over to say hello. He let me know that he was all set and that he would come back to me when it was time to get us going. He completely took control and it was wonderful. There is no way I could have done it myself!

Traffic between the church and the reception hall caused us to run a little behind schedule before the announcements, but Bryan got us back on track...taking "control" of my large wedding party and giving them instructions. Two of my bridesmaids turned to me and asked me what we were doing along with the announcements, and when I didn't know what to tell them, Bryan jumped right in and gave directions. I was SO grateful because my mind just went blank!

"Best I ever heard!"

After the announcements, we had our first dance and then sat down for dinner. I can't tell you how many compliments I had about the dinner music. "Best I ever heard!" Bryan knows what he is doing! He came up to me during dinner and said - hey, I can read this crowd and I think we should play this…what do you think? I said OK and it was perfect. Our guests were laughing and even burst out singing. I know it sounds funny, but it was great!

"He was completely flexible, and went with the flow"

Unfortunately dinner was a little behind schedule and I was feeling ready to go! So instead of waiting until dinner was over, Bryan threw on one of my favorites and the dance floor was swarmed. It was wonderful. He was completely flexible, and went with the flow.

Bryan kept the party going, checking with us periodically to see if we needed anything. As I had requested, he was very behind the scenes letting the party unfold to the music he played, reading the crowd and kept everyone dancing!

"I have received so many compliments about Bryan"

I have received so many compliments about Bryan. He really did keep the party on a high! As I originally said, your music will make or break your party. So many of our guests have told me they have never had so much fun and danced so hard at a reception before. And if I may make a suggestion, if Bryan tells you that the 8 minute version on Donna Summer's "Last Dance" will be a hit…go with it! I had no idea how fun it would be and everyone was going nuts. I can't wait to see it on video.

Bryan played a lot of my do plays and stayed clear of the Do Not's! He was the MC when he needed to be, and as I wanted let my guests make the party their own. It was so fun. I laugh thinking about it as I write this article! We danced all night, and again, the compliments keep coming about our great DJ. THANK YOU BRYAN!
