Testimonials

“Music was the most important thing to me when I thought about our wedding day…besides marrying my husband of course. DJ Bruce was able to execute the exact vibe and vision I had for each part of the night. Our ceremony had flawless transitions, our cocktail hour was upbeat and fun, our dinner party was full of crowd pleasers and our dance party can be summed up in one word…EPIC. If you are looking for a musical genius that can please all ages with an awesome light show to boot, look no further and book Bruce immediately.”
– Theanne and Bill

“Bruce is amazing!! Planning a wedding is stressful and Bruce was the EASIEST person to work with. Our family is from India and France, so we wanted to make everyone feel included in the genre selection. We had several amazing impromptu sing-alongs to Bollywood hits and oldies. There was no down time on the dance floor because Bruce did such an awesome job reading the crowd and taking suggestions. I only left the dance floor to get water and cool off outside. His contract was straight forward and transparent. He is really down to earth and professional. Thanks Bruce!!”
– Emillie and Beri

“We were definitely in good hands with Bruce and his DJ magic! He created an amazing experience for us and our guests. He’s a music guru, with a refined yet eclectic array of songs that he wove seamlessly into our dance floor. He got everyone out of their seats, even my husband’s 83 year old grandparents were getting down! Opt for his lighting design too, it really added a lot to the night. Bruce is also wonderful to work with, being professional, down to earth and perceptive. Our forest rave wedding was a great success thanks in large part to Bruce!”
– Lauren and Andrew

“You cannot really call Bruce a DJ, he is much more than that, he is a Music Guru. He is a musical scholar who’s passion is to share music with people. His knowledge and range of music is unparalleled, Bruce was able to take our recommendations and craft them into a playlist that set the mood and tone for our wedding. He was able to flawlessly transition from Cole Porter to Ray LaMontagne to Daft Punk. You will not meet a more humble, caring, talented musician that loves music and that will truly understand your musical taste. Bruce does what great Dj’s do which is to combine the music you love with the music that will entertain and keep your friends and family dancing the whole night!”
– Amy and Justin

“The dance floor was literally full from the first song of the night, until the plug was pulled at midnight. We’ve received many comments, from our young friends, to relatives and older family friends, that it was without a doubt the best wedding dance floor they have ever had the pleasure to enjoy.”
– Peter and Megan

“I just wanted to personally tell you thank you for all the hard work you did for us on Saturday. The day was just so wonderful and you were a big part of that. We got so many compliments on the music. It was just a great party!”
– Christie and Nate

“Tyler and I just wanted to thank you for being there on our wedding. I can’t even begin to tell you how impressed all the guests were with your song selections, the dance floor was never empty! We really appreciate you helping make our day (and evening) special, and for dealing with our large (and slightly unruly) crowd!”
– Nicole and Tyler

“I searched high and low for the right DJ, wanting the music at our wedding to be energetic and fun without having a “cheesy” DJ. Bruce was so easy to work with, very responsive, and came through to exceed all my expectations. He completely blended in at the wedding and built an amazing play list off of my suggestions. Throughout the wedding people kept coming up to me and telling me how great the music was. And people were on the dance floor all night! Actually, after the last dance people starting chanting “One more song! One more song!” because Bruce is that good. Hire this man.”
– Kim and Brian

“In a few simple words: Bruce is THE man. He rocked our wedding in Sayulita and had everyone out on the dance floor! The next day, every single person told us that our reception dance music was absolutely perfect and we have Bruce to thank for that. He played the perfect mix of tunes and we were seriously close to bribing him enough to keep the party going all night because we didn’t want it to end! We cannot recommend Bruce enough, you will be blown away by his talents as both a DJ and MC, and he is just an awesome guy to be around.”
– Kellie and Kevin

“DJ Bruce knows precisely how to get a party kicked off and keep it rolling until the lights go out. Speaking of lights: the lighting they brought to our wedding in Tacoma was a big hit with kids and adults alike, and helped our cavernous venue seem like an intimate dance party. Bruce’s deft musical touch helped set the mood for all the phases of our reception, from cool cocktail hour to all-family dance time to lets-finish-the-night-off-right! Afterwords our guests kept talking about two things: our special Gin and Tonics and the DJ Bruce experience.”
– Patrick and Allie

“Bruce played everyone’s song requests at the best moments and was even able to include the Grandparents requests in a perfect mix with the Children’s. As the dancing went into the night the music just got better and better. Our friends couldn’t leave the dance floor knowing another amazing track was about to drop. If there was a star rating system we’d rate them the entire galaxy. Thank you Bruce for rocking our wedding!!”
– Ben & Megan

“Bruce was our pick for the dj as soon as we met him. He is incredibly easy to talk to, personable and his wealth in knowledge of all types of music is super impressive. His passion for music and people was very apparent and made it the obvious choice. As the wedding preparation went on Bruce was always quick to respond to questions and work with us on the style of music we wanted. On the actual wedding day, he was awesome. The song choices were great from the cocktail mix to the actual dancing. He played the perfect variation of classics to modern music. Everyone had a blast and basically didn’t want him to stop. We would hire him in a heart beat for any event. Plus he even got up and danced right along with friends and family and everyone loved it. Top choice in Seattle hands down.”
– Beka and Anthony

“Our wedding had an Art Deco theme, but we didn’t want to spend the whole night listening to hits from the 20’s. We asked Bruce to start the evening out with older tracks from the era, and to move through the decades to modern music so that we could have a dance party that everybody would want to join by the end of the night. Bruce did a spectacular job digging up cool old tracks from the 20’s and 30’s for the cocktail hour prior to the ceremony, and as soon as dinner was over his music selections had folks on the dance floor until the party ended hours later.”
– Micah and Rebecca

“Bruce was nothing but phenomenal. What would a wedding be without its music? Through intuition and expertise he was able to connect all of the guests at our event. I had plenty of family members come up to me and express that he was playing their favorite music. My mother danced all night, and she never dances. I danced to my hearts content. My husband, whom I have never danced with before our wedding, took my hand and we danced the night away. I think if you want to make a good investment to your wedding day, give it something that will surely steal the hearts of the crowd and yourselves, Bruce is the dj to hire. He is an amazing artist and creates a surreal experience through music.”
– Sarah and Justin

“Bruce is an amazing DJ and he tailored the music to perfectly fit our music tastes. A number of our guests literally told us that he was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard. He had a great blend of music that had everyone – both young and old – having a great time. He also helped MC and moved everything along smoothly. I strongly recommend Bruce to anyone needing a DJ for an event!”
– Brett and Katherine

“Bruce has a real knack for music/entertainment and made our wedding day so memorable. He has such a calming presence and made the whole process so easy and seamless!! With a destination wedding, it’s important to have good communication between vendors, and Bruce was awesome. He was quick to respond and always keep the line of communication open. Bruce was fabulous and we’d highly recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ !”
– Megan and Adam

“One of many things that bring family and friends together at a wedding is the DJ and the music. Katie and I wanted to make sure that we absolutely got this right…that people would not be sitting around, talking too much, but rather getting out on the dance floor and making a true party! Bruce Pavitt not only played some incredible music, but helped us bring family and friends together…3 weeks later, I am still getting comments from friends that we had awesome music throughout the night. Bruce made me and my bride feel like ROCKSTARS at our wedding…Thanks Bruce!”
– Marc and Katie

“Bruce did a stellar job of incorporating songs we wanted with his own inspired choices. Everyone had an absolute blast. I think the dancing ended waaay after the island curfew time… (thank you neighbors!). Awesome. Recommended in a heartbeat.”
– Pepper and Marshall

“When I first spoke with Bruce he was very inquisitive and insightful and we immediately knew that he was the DJ for our wedding. Up to the wedding we were in constant communication and he always made sure that we were going to get exactly what we wanted. When my new wife and I arrived at the wedding he was already playing music and set up very tastefully and even some people were dancing. During the wedding he seamlessly wove smooth jazz for dinner in with contemporary music and pop for dancing all night long. Also, he watched the crowd and really appreciated which songs made people dance and recalled upon his extensive knowledge and repertoire to insure that the dancing kept going. When everyone finally left (we were the last ones) they offered to stay and make sure that all of the doors were closed and locked. I would fully endorse and recommend the services of Bruce Pavitt not only for his professionalism but also for the expertise and insight into how make to make a night memorable. Thanks for everything again, you were phenomenal.”
– Jonathan and Cecily

“I highly recommend Bruce’s DJ services to anyone planning a wedding. First of all, he contacted us prior to our event to solicit requests and did an impressive job clarifying (and then playing!) the must-plays from our extensive list. During the reception, he played a lovely mix of music to enjoy during dinner and also coordinated toasts, cake-cutting, and first dances. As to the dancing that followed, he did an amazing job keeping the dance floor hopping–there wasn’t a song without someone on the floor! He and his wife, who assisted him throughout the night, are wonderful people with a knowing sensitivity and passion for what they do–I absolutely recommend their music services!”
– Anna and Scott

“My fiancee and I both felt that good music at our wedding ceremony and reception was a crucial element for a memorable experience. Not only for ourselves, but also for all of our guests that had traveled from all over the country to celebrate with us on our wedding day. So naturally, we were both thrilled when we learned that Bruce was offering DJ services for weddings on Orcas Island. Bruce was absolutely fantastic to work with. He really listened to the type of ambiance and feeling we were trying to create, took all of our suggestions to heart, and incorporated those into a mix with some of his own selections. The result was a perfect mood at the ceremony and the fuel for a non-stop party at the reception. The one common compliment we had from our guests was how awesome the music was. Several asked for a copy of the playlist. Bruce is a pro. If good music is important to you at your wedding, you will be in the best of hands with Bruce as your DJ.”
– Ian and Katie

“Bruce was incredibly friendly and easy to work with right from our first meeting. We had a pretty diverse range of tastes among our guests, from serious musicians and record geeks to people who we are, shall we say, “less musically inclined”, and everyone had an absolute blast. We can’t think of anyone we’d rather have had in charge of the music at our wedding!”
– Mark and Meris

“Bruce was so easy to work with while planning the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was open to all of our ideas and if he didn’t have a song we wanted he was willing to find it for us. We cannot thank Bruce enough for being such a key piece to our special day.”
– Amy and Coulter

“I’ve been to other venues where Bruce DJ’d and it’s obvious he has a talent for judging the audience and playing tunes that fit the occasion. Last summer, he DJ’d my daughter’s wedding and oh my…what a fantastic evening. His music made her special day perfect.”
– Rollie

“Bruce assembled and delivered a brilliant Wedding Reception set of music for us in Sept 2011. Classy, innovative, full of unexpected gems and personal requests….we completely trusted Bruce’s uber-deep familiarity with the past 50 years of every musical genre. Our guests packed the grassy outdoor dance floor, and we all let out a collective cry for more when the time came to turn the evening over to the frogs and crickets. Our highest recommendation!”
