DJ Brennan Sullivan was phenomenal at our wedding. We met with many DJs, but Brennan really stood out to us as highly professional, reliable, and flexible to what we needed from the very first meeting. He sent us many files at the beginning of the process to help us plan our event and gave us ideas for a good flow of events. Even the day before the wedding and the morning of the wedding, we called him up for last-minute changes, and he was very responsive and accommodating with everything we needed. His attention to detail was impressive...as he executed every little thing we wanted and more. We sent him a long list of songs we liked, and he did an amazing job picking the right songs at the right time that got everyone dancing all night. Even our relatives/grandparents that we've never seen dance before were on the dance floor! Think what speaks volumes is that we were originally wary that not too many people would be dancing, but the dance floor was packed for so long and people said they were having such a good time that we ended up asking Brennan to stay an extra hour so everyone could continue partying the night away. :) Needless to say, thanks to Brennan and the fabulous music, we had an unforgettable night.

Bialek's music was so great to work with! They were responsive when we had questions/concerns, and best of all, they recommended the most amazing band - Sound Nation! The band kept everyone on the dance floor and none of our guests wanted to leave!

Brennan Sullivan was the DJ for our wedding and he was fabulous... from start to finish. Brennan was super easy to work with as he is very organized and asks all of the right questions so you know that everything will be covered and just that way you want it for your wedding day. He asked me things that I didn't even think of! So I knew he was going to be super prepared. We gave him a list of songs that were some of our favorites and he played ALL of them- he also is like a magician when it comes to picking the right tunes- he knows just what the crowd wants to hear. He played the perfect during dinner music (some great Christmas tunes because we had a winter wedding!). I would totally use Brennan again not only for a wedding, but for any party. The next day, we thought and many people told us- that the wedding was perfect and that the DJ had something to do with it! He got EVERYONE (even the family members who NEVER dance!) out there dancing. Book Brennan with confidence for your wedding- he is super friendly, organized AND knows just what music to play!

We contracted DJ Brennan Sullivan's services through Bialek's Music. From our first meeting with Brennan through the end of our wedding reception, he was very professional and responsive. During our pre-planning, he sent us sample play lists, timelines and songs to help us plan out the details of our reception. After we submitted our timeline and songs, he responded quickly with follow-up questions and advice. On the day of our wedding, DJ Brennan Sullivan's did a great job managing the flow of the reception. He got our friends and family out on the dance floor and everyone had a wonderful time. He made the wedding reception that we wanted. He was responsive to our more relaxed tempo and easily complied when the schedule was forced to change. We would highly recommend DJ Brennan Sullivan to anyone.

We had the Calmes Trio for our ceremony music and Richard Baretto as our DJ for the reception. The Calmes Trio was booked as a surprise for my fiance (now husband) and Beth-Anne was very helpful with keeping their booking a secret until the moment he walked in to take his place at the altar. I think she was just excited as I was about the surprise. Her enthusiasm and positivity made working with her group a real pleasure. I would definitely work with them again. I met Richard at a Bridal Showcase at the hotel where my wedding and reception was held and wanted to book him on the spot. He was very charismatic and great fun as a DJ. My family was very pleased with his selections and the pacing of the music during the reception. Overall, I was extremely happy with Bialek's Music and would recommend them to anyone planning an event.

I am so thankful that we used Bialek's to find our wedding band. They recommended NightLife to us and glad they did - they made the party. It was incredible in every way, and we got what we wanted most - a packed dancefloor full of guests having a blast! Bialek's and Nighlife made sure that happened. It was incredible!

DAN is THE MAN. We used DJ Dan Goldman for our wedding, and he was so easy to work with, so flexible, so professional, so chill, so such-a-great-DJ. I'm sure Dan can pull off many roles, but I wanted a DJ who would not be a large presence at the wedding, not loud or cheesy -- just a classy DJ who would mostly just blend into the party, like a ninja with a turntable. Dan was every part of this super classy, music-loving ninja I hoped for. I was also super picky about the music -- I gave him a spreadsheet of songs for the reception, a second spreadsheet for the dance party, plus instructions for unusual wedding party introductions. He was instantly on board, was cool with everything, and incorporated everything seamlessly at the wedding. Dan also has a lot of cool extras he can provide (photo booth, lighting, etc.) but he didn't try to hard-sell anything (can't tell you how much I appreciated that). All Dan wanted was: what we wanted. Thank you, Dan!!!!!

I highly recommend DJ Brennan Sullivan to any bride looking for a DJ! He was awesome!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He made sure to accommodate absolutely every request and thought that we had, and even assisted us in the planning process by helping us fine tune our schedule of events. He was incredibly easy to work with – it was so nice to be able to communicate with him entirely over email (he was our only vendor that we could do this with!). Any song that we mentioned that he didn't have in his collection he was more than willing to go out and find for us, and always asked questions to make sure he completely understood everything about every aspect of our reception. Everything went off without a hitch, mostly thanks to him. He kept the reception moving on schedule, and really read the crowd and was able to get everyone out onto the dance floor--young and old. We were so grateful to work with DJ Brennan Sullivan--he definitely helped to make our reception personal and special!

I've know Ray of Bialek's Music for over 10 years now. Ray is the best of the best... For years I knew I would jump at the opportunity to have Ray somehow be involved in my wedding! Ray himself made suggestions for DJ's that suited my now husband and I. We worked with Mike V. Super nice man! The day of our wedding- it was PERFECT! Mike handled our ceremony and reception. We had a super, super specific playlist and Mike nailed it... Mike was professional throughout the entire event and we were very pleased! We will continue to recommend Bialek's Music over and over again!!

We had a fantastic time at the wedding and it really reflected who we are as a couple.We received numerous comments that went like "this was the most fun wedding reception I've been to!". And to us the ambiance, music, etc. were key to setting the right atmosphere. We appreciate Brennan getting the hard-to-find music and playing as much of it as he could. We've received requests from some guests that they want a mix-tape from our wedding! We appreciate Brennan's professionalism and great work. If we ever needed a DJ/MC in the future, he would be our fist call and we highly recommend his services!

DJ David Grim from Bialek's Music was wonderful, so easy to work with and listened to the type of songs my husband and I requested. He also was great at moving between song styles. Everyone loved the music! He indicated that I could contact him at any time. Bialek's as a whole was very energetic and easy. I would gladly recommend them to anyone! As for the Cherry Blossom String quartet, the group was amazing -- again very professional and very good. I also received compliments on the quality of the music.

We worked with DJ Brennan from Bialek's Music and were absolutely thrilled with our experience. Both Brennan and the Bialek team were a pleasure to work with: flexible, highly responsive, open to our ideas and musical tastes. Really, I have nothing but positive things to say. One of my concerns was that we would get a DJ and he would be out leading the electric slide or pushing corny dance songs. Instead, DJ Brennan took our suggestions and orchestrated the perfect evening: Louis Armstrong/Billie Holiday/Ella Fitzgerald jazz for the cocktail hour and dinner, family friendly dancing for the first hour until cake cutting, then more friend focused dancing for the rest of the night. As I said, Brennan did just that: he read our crowd perfectly and even had our "I-don't-dance" friends out on the floor. It was great!To given an example of how accommodating Brennan was, when we were contemplating a more unusual Afro-Cuban playlist during the cocktail hour, Brennan was more than happy to work with my CDs/playlists, even emailing me with information about what file format he needed, etc. He is a true professional and clearly enjoys making your wedding exactly how you would like it. I'm always skeptical of completely positive reviews, but I'm struggling to find something in terms of constructive criticism. I suppose if his hourly rate was cheaper we would hire him for our annual Christmas party, but alas, he's a bit beyond our budget :-)Do yourself a favor: hire DJ Brennan and cross "Find DJ" off your to-do list with piece of mind.
