Bryan McDonnell Wedding DJ
If you're planning your wedding from abroad and want more than just a DJ, you
want someone in Ireland who truly gets to know you, understands your vision,
and helps bring it to life through music, you're in the right place.
Hi, I’m Bryan, and I specialise in creating packed dancefloors and unforgettable
wedding nights, but more importantly, I focus on building a genuine connection
with every couple I work with.
I know that planning a wedding from overseas can feel overwhelming. You’re
putting your trust in suppliers you may never meet in person, and you want to
feel confident that everything will come together exactly as you’ve imagined.
That’s where I come in.
From our very first chat, I take the time to get to know you both, your
personalities, your story, your taste in music, and the kind of atmosphere you
want to create on the day. We’ll plan everything together, from your first dance
right through to the last song of the night, so nothing feels left to chance.
I don’t just arrive and press play. I’m there to guide the flow of the evening,
read the room, and make sure your guests are engaged and enjoying every
moment. By the time your wedding day arrives, you won’t feel like you’ve hired
a DJ, you’ll feel like you have someone on your team who genuinely cares about
making your night incredible.
Many of the couples I work with are travelling to Ireland for their wedding, and
one of the things they value most is having someone local who is approachable,
responsive, and easy to deal with throughout the entire process. I pride myself
on being exactly that.
Whether you’re dreaming of a high-energy party, a mix of classic favourites and
modern hits, or something completely tailored to your own style, I’ll work closely
with you to create a soundtrack that reflects you as a couple and keeps your
dancefloor full all night.
If you’d like to have a chat and see if we’re the right fit, I’d love to hear all about
your plans..

This is my second review for Bryan as I previously booked him last minute for my brother’s wedding back in September 2021 when Covid restrictions were being lifted (see my other review below). When it came to my own wedding, I had no doubt as to who I was going to ask to DJ again on the night.
As expected, the dancefloor was full to the very end. Bryan played a wide variety of music which catered to all ages, and he also incorporated a few requests from me and my husband. At the end of the night, I never saw so many people who just didn’t want to leave the dancefloor and go home!
I would highly recommend booking Bryan for your wedding – you won’t regret it!

The dance floor was full from start to finish and he was just such a wonderful person to talk to.
Highly recommend and honestly you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much Bryan.

We had Bryan at our wedding recently in the Armada Hotel in Spanish point at christmas. A good friend had recommended him so we were quick to book him and luckily enough he was available. He gave us a special deal as he was also booked in for the following night. Unfortunately the night after wedding cancelled to go with the band dj and he still stuck to his original offer which was so genuine. Its cheaper to go with a band dj but nothing beats an independent one, Bryan's lighting etc was just superb and the dancefloor never emptied. Such a gent and made our wedding day faultless. Thanks again Bryan top top notch.

We had our wedding in Ballyseede Castle last weekend and had Bryan as our DJ. Although our band The Mixtape offered a DJ service we wanted a separate experienced DJ to finish out the night. We have a alternative/indie taste in music and didn't want the generic songs you hear at every wedding. Bryan worked our playlist we gave him very well and the dance floor was full all night.

Bryan created an incredible atmosphere for our destination wedding. He understood exactly the type of music we wanted to hear and adjusted to the crowd to keep the party going all night. We raged. It was awesome. He also helped us execute a surprise dance with a fake music cut out perfectly - the man deserves an award. We had an absolute blast thanks to Bryan’s perfect curation of tunes!
Response from Bryan McDonnell DJ
Julie and Tim thank you for your kind words. Your wedding was one of my favourite weddings of the year and you brough the best crew of people here to Ireland for what I'm sure will be an unforgettable Irish wedding experience for all of them. I hope one day we get to cross paths again if some of your friends decide to get married here in Ireland or Europe.

My wife and I recently hosted a destination wedding in Dingle for 130 guests traveling from the US. We elected to not do a full band for the reception, so picking the right DJ was extremely important to us - and Bryan knocked it out of the park!
Bryan took our guidance and recommendations on music, but we also trusted his experience to read the room and create a high energy atmosphere. He absolutely delivered. From music during dinner, to introductions, to helping us coordinate a surprise Irish step dance, to keeping the dancing going until 2am, we couldn't be happier with how things turned out.
Outside of the wedding day itself, Bryan is an excellent communicator and was easy to work with leading up to our big day. I highly recommend working with him if you want the dance floor busy at your event!!

We booked Bryan for the full night for our wedding on 03/10/2025. We knew he would be excellent but our experience on the night far exceeded anything we could have wished for! The dancefloor was full all night and Bryan just kept playing one banger after another.
Bryan is amazingly skilled at reading a crowd and he was so inclusive in his playlist. We had the classics such as Abba and Grease, as well as all the best of the 2010s for our predominantly 30s crowd. We had some waltzing and Irish dancing as well! There was truly something for everyone. Bryan's interactions with the crowd were brilliant and he kept the energy high all night. We've had many compliments from our guests since the wedding about Bryan.
Bryan is the nicest person to deal with. We had a really thorough consultation with him before our wedding which was so helpful!
We would recommend Bryan to anyone. He is a talented DJ and absolutely lovely too!

We cannot say enough good things about Bryan! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional and friendly. Our guests loved chatting with him and have been raving about him ever since the wedding. Our venue required set ups in multiple locations yet Bryan made everything seem so seamless. He was also able to read the crowd very quickly and play songs that got everyone on to the dance floor. He kept the party going all night and introduced some Irish songs and dances as well which was a blast. We are so grateful to have had Bryan as part of our day, he went above and beyond and helped make the night so special!

We got married the August Bank holiday weekend 2025 in Adare Manor and chose Bryan as our DJ - we could not recommend him highly enough!
We had our wedding in Adare over three days and our music choices were extremely important to us and ultimately made our wedding unforgettable. We had Daddy Sax, Mundy, The Function Band, Gavin James, The Coronas & The Riffshop band amongst other artists perform……..& Bryan slotted in seamlessly amongst these Artists.
He was unbelievable professional & polite to deal with. For example after initially engaging with him via email, by chance I bumped into him in Adare when at my tasting - he was setting up for a gig & didn’t know me…..but introduced himself when I was wandering around the ballroom - pure coincidence……& pure gentleman.
His DJ set was just amazing. He arrived in Adare Manor super early & mingled with our guests picking up their vibe & their reactions to The Function bands set. He kept the dance floor absolutely hopping all night…….& morning!!! ( he kept the party going well past his finish time 🫣🤫😉!!)
From PJ & I - Thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding!!!! Xxx

I was being very picky about my DJ choice because music is extremely important to me, but when we saw Bryan online I knew we had to hire him. He exceeded our highest expectations… it truly could have been no one else. Leading up to the day, he was responsive, organized, and professional, and definitely seemed to understand our vision during our online consult. He gave advice but was also willing to help us with unique requests that we asked for. He was the perfect mix of flexible and helpful. For example, when our chosen songs weren’t getting the crowd going as much, he would pivot to others to make sure that the energy stayed hi (with our permission of course!). He handed everything like a pro but was also so approachable and friendly and all the guests loved him and felt very comfortable with him. He brought a young and hip vibe to the event, especially at the end of the night - he kept the party going and our guests all told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I won’t gatekeep Bryan - he will truly make your wedding dreams come true!

We feel incredibly lucky to have had DJ Bryan McDonnell as part of our wedding day. From start to finish, Bryan was a joy to work with—professional, kind, and endlessly flexible. His attention to detail and heartfelt energy helped create unforgettable moments that we'll cherish forever.
One of the highlights was Bryan calming my groom's nerves with Coldplay before the ceremony. The music not only soothed him but sparked an impromptu sing-along among our guests, who clapped and sang in beautiful harmony—right on cue with our ceremony songs. It was pure magic.
From the romantic Bridgerton-style music during our castle reception drinks (absolutely spot-on!) to kick up our heels on the dance floor Bryan had a can-do attitude throughout, Bryan made us feel supported and relaxed every step of the way.
There was nothing he wouldn’t do to make our day magical. Truly, Bryan isn’t just a DJ—he’s a memory-maker. Highly recommend him to any couple wanting a wedding soundtrack that sings with love, joy, and unforgettable surprises.

We were looking initially for a band for our wedding, we looked at allot of bands and honestly speaking they were all good, nothing really separated 1 from the next and it made deciding difficult. We were also searching for a DJ for the 2nd part of the night and this is how we found Bryan. We saw his demo video and could tell right away that it was unique with a really different set up ( you'll see what I mean on the video), we also noticed the option for a full night to have him do the everything. This appealed to us as the songs we wanted for our day, we wanted originals and not covers. I reached out for an initial check in and was really impressed by the response I got, Very professional and asked the questions that ensured we would be happy with the night. The Big day came and went, We had the best day and night, Bryan was great, Engaged with Crowd , played to everyone and had the dancefloor full all night. Could recommend highly enough.

We recently had Bryan DJ at our wedding in Ireland. I am from Jordan and my now wife is from Ireland. On the night of the wedding, it was very important to me that music from my cultural background was played so that my friends and family from the Middle East would be able to enjoy the night. Last summer I began reaching out to DJs in Ireland, many of whom weren’t very confident to DJ at my wedding as they weren’t familiar with Arabic music. Luckily, I came by Bryan’s profile where I had seen he had previous experience in doing multi-cultural weddings. From the initial call, Bryan had shown great interest in our wedding and the mix of Arabic and western music I wanted to have played on the night. The interest in the wedding followed through from the initial call to the night of the wedding. I would send Arabic music to Bryan, and he would send me back samples to be of how he would mix this music together which put my mind to ease and that we had put our faith in the right music professional. On the night, Bryan fully delivered on the promises he had made when we booked him for our wedding last year. We were all very impressed with his ability to mix the Arabic music and I am delighted that I choose Bryan to be part of out wedding. I would like to thank Bryan for his interest and effort in making the night a great success any enjoyable night of Arabic music for all my friends and family that travelled to Ireland from the Middle East.
Response from Bryan McDonnell DJ
Thank You Alaa for sharing your experience. I want to highlight that you were a real pleasure to deal with all along. I could tell from the initial call that the mix of Arabic music on the night was really important to you and I'm delighted that you availed of my services. All the best - Bryan

The Vengabus ( or in our case the venga wheelbarrow) was one of the main highlights of our wedding. Would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.

He made us feel as if we were working with an old friend who knew us well and in doing so, took away some of the stress of planning a big day! Brian made our moments memories and we truly appreciate him for that!
A great night was had by all and I highly recommend Brian!

Bryan was our wedding DJ just over a week ago, and he was absolutely incredible! He had an amazing ability to read the room, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night. It felt like he was one of our friends who just happened to also be our DJ—checking in on us, having the laughs, and making the whole experience even more special.
Everyone adored him, from our guests to the venue staff—he made such a lasting impression!
If you're looking for a DJ who brings both talent and great craic, Bryan is the one. We honestly can't recommend him enough and are already looking for an excuse to throw another event just so we can hire him again!

Thank you so much guys!! As a wedding DJ I get to deal with a lot of different couples but I honestly thought you were both so lovely. I'm glad you enjoyed the night and you only both deserve the best going forward. Keep in touch and hopefully I'll get to meet you sometime in the future again - Bryan

We got married on December 21st and Bryan was our DJ. From the moment we contacted him he was so easy to deal with. On the night he set up quite early to ensure a seamless transition between himself and the band who were playing before him. There was a huge range of ages at our wedding and the dance floor was full all night, he had the place rocking. Numerous guests have since commented how brilliant Bryan was and no request was too much for him. I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone looking for a top class DJ.

Bryan was exceptional, professional, and charismatic. We are an American couple and he was excellent at planning things from afar with us whether it was a video call or messaging to get all the details correct. We had a range of ages at our wedding and he made sure to curate the setlist, so that all of our guests had songs to dance to. We had our last dance and the remaining guests demanded an encore and Bryan did not disappoint with his final song choice. Great person and DJ that we would highly recommend to anyone (especially American couples) if you don’t want to worry about your friends and family dancing all night long

Bryan was an absolute gem and would highly recommend him over and over again! We booked him for our wedding with no band and it was the best decision ever. Very responsive, accomodating, and so detail oriented as well. Bryan is so easy-going and lovely to communicate with overall.
While we were doing photos with our guests, Bryan kept the vibes up that our friends and family were up on their feet and did an impromptu conga line around the ballroom while waiting for their table number to be called to have photos with us. We will always remember this now when "YMCA" is playing. He had a questionnaire sent from the very start also and we were able to fill out any songs we wanted to be played on the day which he did and then some! He knew how to read the room and exactly what to play next and the evening just flowed so nicely. Everyone had such a memorable and fun night!!

Bryan was the DJ at our wedding at the start of September and he was a pleasure to work with. We decided not to have a band and this turned out to be a great decision. Several of our guests commented on how great they thought he was on the night, in particular a lot of the older guests who felt there was a great mix in the music played (something for everyone.) We’ve just gotten the photos back and the dancefloor was packed from start to finish, it’s clear that people were having a ball!

Hey Bryan, we are both so lucky enough to have you as our DJ for the entire day of our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with how everything turned out on the day. From the very first meeting, it was clear that you weren't just about playing music.. You were very much involved in our culture and best of all, matching our vibe. We had a phone call and you also held a video call with us beforehand to go over the details, and it really felt like we were building a connection. Honestly, kept us in the loop the entire time, and by the wedding day, we knew we were in great hands.
The music selection you say? Absolutely on point. Bryan knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy high from start to finish. Our guests were dancing all night, and the mix of songs was just perfect—he played everything we loved while also surprising us with some great tracks that fit the mood perfectly. His ability to keep everyone on the dance floor is something our guests still rave about!
If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, personable, and knows how to keep the party going, Bryan is your guy. He truly helped made our wedding unforgettable!! With much love bro, J&V

Bryan was everything we could have asked for from a DJ on our wedding day. He had a great questionnaire prior to the day that we continuously added to to make sure all music-related details were accounted for and he delivered on every single one perfectly. He was with us all day from ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception. His selection of music was a perfect blend of both mine and the bride’s tastes and we had SO MUCH fun. He nailed it with our American taste while adding an Irish flare. He even did some digging on our social media to understand our personalities and interests and sprinkled in music to match. His prices are also very reasonable. We are truly grateful for his wonderful work and would 10/10 recommend him for your wedding day.

Couldn't recommend Bryan enough. We had him as an all day DJ at our wedding last week, he looked after ceremony music, our reception and then after dinner and all ran so smoothly. Very easy to deal with, flexible and appreciated our diverse choice of music. Celebrant and venue were very complimentary of his professionalism. Wouldn't hesitate about booking Bryan. Great value compared with other quotes we got. We wanted a sax player and he took care of that for us and had Tommy Sax there, one less thing to organise with him taken care of that.

We had Bryan DJ after the Kilkenny's at our wedding in July. We did not want to have any typical wedding songs played at our wedding but rather music from a range of alternative genres to our own liking. We tasked Bryan with this challenge of honouring our personal requests which ranged from Arabic rock to 90's dance hits whilst keeping the crowd on the dance floor and Bryan did this at ease. He also facilitated a number of calls as well as continuous back and forth emails to make sure our wedding night was a success.

We chose Bryan to DJ our wedding initially based off his reviews on this very site, and we were not disappointed. From the start he was responsive, clear, helpful and personable. Was happy to jump on a call at any time and always quick to get back to you.
On the day itself he was brilliant- arrived early and happy to be flexible with set up and start times when we were running behind schedule. Once he got started - we can't compliment him enough. As one guest described it, "it was the danciest dancefloor he'd ever seen at a wedding". Bryan had the floor full from start to finish and with a great variety of songs. Ours was an irish/Brazilian wedding and Bryan struck the perfect balance on the night between music that would appeal to both sides of the cultural divide, including many of the songs we discussed with him prior to the day and always reading the room perfectly with song choice.
We have some friends with weddings on the horizon and will be strongly encouraging them to pick Bryan for their big day.

Bryan was amazing from as soon as we first contacted him through the wedding weekend — music is extremely important to my husband and me, so we wanted a DJ who could read a room, respond to the vibe, and keep people on the dance floor. Bryan went above and beyond on all fronts! From the ceremony to cocktail hour, through dinner and the rest of the evening, everyone was impressed by the music played but also how engaging Bryan was as a DJ. There was a conga line (a fun but also heartfelt moment, as the song was dedicated to our close friend that passed), dance battles, singalongs, wedding classics but also new music that guests either requested or were just excited to hear being played! I don’t exaggerate when I say this was the best day of my life and Bryan was a huge reason. There wasn’t a bad song or moment when no one was dancing. I only had two drinks the entire night because I was too busy chugging water so I could stay hydrated enough to keep dancing! (:
And in the time leading up to the wedding, Bryan was receptive to what our vision looked like, heard us out, and is simply a wonderful, professional vendor I cannot recommend enough! You WILL have a great time if he’s your DJ!

Bryan is a rare talent. He comes fully equipped with enough gear to keep a rave going for a week straight but somehow manages to blend into the background seemlessly. From slow dances to techno, he knows exactly what the moment calls for and how to introduce it.
He facilitated my wedding with Eimear this May and without him the day would have been lesser. He's professional, and he's kind without exception. An honest to God gentleman.
Bryan is able to adapt on the fly with speed and grace. He allows the music to progress naturely, and is able to use it to empower moments throughout your event as needed. He knows when to let up, so that the event can get back on track and he's extremely perceptive of any queues you might need to give him for whatever reason.
Bryan is, put simply, wonderful. I cannot recommend him enough, he was our only entertainment through our wedding and didn't miss a beat. He was just perfect.

We had Bryan DJ for the full day at our wedding where we and 70 of our good friends and family traveled all the way from Los Angeles California to West Cork to our dream destination wedding.
My now husband who is a former Wedding DJ and professional record producer reached out to Bryan a number of months before our wedding to see if he would be up to the challenge of putting on the best night of our lives.
We both love music and have a strong preference for hip-hop and rap which we wanted to be played at the party and Bryan did that just perfectly. We gave him a playlist which he mixed up with his own music to keep the party rocking and allowed one of our good friends to DJ for a while as well.
The night was a great success and as the weather was beautiful in West Cork on our day we were able to have our ceremony outdoors down by the water with the thanks of Bryan's wireless system.
We would highly recommend Bryan to couples traveling from America to Ireland for their destination weddings and would like to thank him for playing such an important role in our day.

From our first contact, we got on very well and his portfolio of previous events was very impressive.
As I am Irish and my wife is Indian, Bryan did a wonderful job mixing up the music between the usual Irish wedding tunes, as well as fun Indian songs, which both the Indian and Irish guests loved dancing to in equal measure!!
The dance floor was full all night and was quite frankly, hopping !!! A testament to Bryan’s ability to know what songs to play at different times to keep everyone dancing away!!
All in all, a top class DJ, and an even better person!!

He was wonderful to work with, even while being in different countries!
On the day of our wedding, he was jovial and charismatic with all of our guests!

Bryan was an absolute dream to deal with from start to finish. We saw him at a family wedding and booked him the next week. He also recommended the band to us (Bermuda country club).
I couldn't praise Bryan any higher. He had the dancefloor full all night and played about 5 or 6 encores!
If you want the dancefloor full all night and great music Bryan is your man!

Bryan was absolutely fantastic from first engagement to the end of the wedding night. He was early on the day to ensure full set up, and that all went smoothly.
We asked Bryan to ensure everyone was dancing and having a good time, he absolutely delivered. We had an absolute ball and would recommend Bryan without a shadow of a doubt, he's superb.

Bryan was our DJ for our wedding in July. From the initial enquiry engagement all the way through to the wedding night Bryan has been extremely professional and very organised. it was a multi cultural wedding with Indians/dutch/Irish guests and it was really important to incorporate music to cater for all of our guests.
We shared a high level music list with Bryan and asked him to assess the room on the day and gave him full control of the music on the night.
Needless to say Bryan did an amazing job on the day. The dance floor was packed throughout the night. We also had a few traditional Indian elements during the reception and with our guidance Bryan played the right music at the right time.
We were delighted to have Bryan handle all the music on the night as he did such a great job. We did not have a band or any other form of music and we were delighted with the choice we made.
Bryan you were so professional, friendly and fun at the same time. We had a fabulous night and we hope we get another chance to work together.

Bryan was recently the DJ at our wedding.
Bryan went the extra mile to ensure that our day was special. For example, he supplied us with a detailed questionnaire to fill out outlining what we wanted and met us in person to ensure that he understood what we wanted.
On the day of the wedding, Bryan was a wonderful communicator and very independent. He spoke with the wedding hotel and other music providers to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. For example, Bryan came early to ensure that his sound system was working for our outdoor ceremony.
We were very impressed with a few key things on the day.
1. How quickly Bryan got everything set up and adapted from the outdoor ceremony to an indoor dance floor later in the evening.
2. How he found a playlist that a wide range of people enjoyed. Our wedding was a multi-cultural event that had people from over 10 countries.
3. Bryan was also brilliant at speaking and interacting with our guests all night. Everyone enjoyed his friendly, interactive and approachable style.
4. Bryan, also managed to include a few Harry Potter songs for us which was very special as it was the theme of the wedding.
It was very striking, how many of our guest both during the wedding and the day after, told us how wonderful Bryan was.
We have no doubt in our mind that we made the right choice hiring Bryan for the full day.
We would be happy to hire Bryan again for future events and would be happy to recommend him to a friend, family member or stranger.

Bryan is an amazing DJ. We decided to have a DJ only and were a little nervous we would miss the interaction associated with a live band. We need not have worried - Bryan was sensational, he worked the crowd well and the dance floor was never empty. Moreover, Bryan brilliantly fused our two cultures, Irish and Kurdish. The whole floor was involved in an impromptu dance off facilitated by Bryan. I must also add Bryan is a sound lad, easy to communicate with. I would recommended Bryan to anyone!

From start to finish, dealing with Bryan was a fantastic experience. As we were getting married away from home we had no other recommendations on a DJ apart the ones on this site, and my god did Bryan live up to all of his 5 star reviews. All night long people were asking for his details and to know where I found him! He adapted to the cosy room in Gougane Barra. He had the sitting room on fire playing all of the classics. The floor was never empty and even after the afters were served people were back on the floor straight away. We cannot recommend Bryan enough to be a part of your day!

An extremely professional DJ who knows how to put on a show.
Me and my partner sat down in September 2021 to organise our wedding.
The first thing that was clear between us is that we both weren't keen
on the idea of having a live band as we didn't want to be listening to the likes of wagon wheel all night!
We decided then on getting a high end DJ for our wedding. After some research, we we're both
nearly second guessing ourselves as would couldn't find someone suitable. We then stumbled across Bryan's website and we both knew this is the guy for the job because of all the great reviews.
On the night of our wedding we found Brian extremely professional at what he does,
he worked around out alternative hip hop orientated playlist yet still pleased
all the ages.
We really both couldn't recommend Brian enough!

Our wedding night was the best fun ever!! We booked only a DJ to kick off straight after the meal.
He helped with our first dance, and kept the dance floor rocking throughout the night!
We were kinda nervous not to get a band as its so?traditional to have that but I am so happy we didn't.?The space was smaller and more intimate and would not have suited a 3 piece band, so DJ from the start worked perfectly!! We were able to select songs/genres and discuss with Bryan our preferences and tastes. He kept the dance floor on fire with the best tunes, some games/dance offs, the confetti bombs and smoke machine. It did not matter there was no live instruments, we had great music and fun and literally danced from the rafters!!!

Bryan was our DJ for an intimate wedding of about 40 people. He was there with us the whole day start to finish(11am-2am). He was on site at about 11 for our wedding at one. Both myself and my husband were blown away by how friendly and helpful he was. I gave my husband all the song picks the morning of the wedding, him and Bryan had a chat about how they would play during the ceremony. Everything during the ceremony went off without a hitch! We then moved on to our entry as husband and wife for dinner my brother in law did all the introductions but Bryan had an amazing playlist ready. Throughout dinner the music was fun and enjoyable with just the right atmosphere. After dinner when all of the dancing started I really didn't think we could have more fun but Bryan was there with just the right tunes. As a couple we decided early on to cut out a lot of the traditional wedding songs (wagon wheel, sweet Caroline, rock the boat) I was really nervous how this would affect the music as a traditional 00's 10's playlist was not what we wanted. Bryan went above and beyond, he took requests but we also gave him full permission to veto anything crazy. All of our friends and family loved not only the music but how friendly Bryan was. We also have a few weddings this year and have not stopped recommending him. If we have any big event in the future he will be the first person we contact.
P. S. THANK YOU Bryan sincerely the crazy couple who walked down the aisle to jurassic Park.

We had Bryan dj after the band for our wedding in January. I had been to a number of weddings where the band did the dj for the last 2 hours and felt it wasn't the same so me and my wife opted to have two separate suppliers for the entertainment on the night which was a great decision. We had seen Bryan play during the summer at one of our friends weddings and we personally both found him excellent that night so we decided to book him for our date. On our night Bryan arrived and got his dj gear ready before the band which was great to see. He also honoured our song requests and still got everyone up dancing. We couldn't recommend hiring a good dj to finish off the night right.
Thank you for being part of our special day Bryan - Conor and Edel.

Bryan brought an excellent light show and made the atmosphere in the room feel very electric,the music played throughout the night catered for all ages, it wasn't particularly to 80/90's or to modern just a very nice mix of both with some great throwbacks from the early 2000's which I didn't expect. He did very well to play the songs we requested and blended them in nicely to his set. Me and my husband both agree that when booking a D.J for your wedding to choose wisely and shop around as it's more of an important service then we both had anticipated. We would both highly recommend Bryan!
