2Bays DJs

ievable amount of thought and care into every detail. We gave him an inspiration playlist and he put in a crazy amount of prep so that he was able to mix and transition the songs we'd picked into a flawless set. He also helped us think through all the details of when and where we would need mics and his setups were perfect. And his energy was so amazing - he was always very much on top of the details, but at the same time so warm and laid back. He even recorded the audio and sent it to us so we have the soundtrack of the night which has been so cool to have. This review barely scratches the surface of all the thoughtful details he put in - if you have a chance to book Dan, you *definitely* should.

. Everyone had SO much fun and a huge part of that was thanks to Roger!

nts on our choice of DJ. Highly recommend.

They were super easy to contact ahead of time, and all of the songs played were ones we requested (that our guests shared with us before). I had so many compliments afterwards about how the music rocked and that it was one of the busiest dance floors that many of my guests have seen. I definitely would recommend to anyone getting married in Michigan!!

bride and groom right off the bat. They were so easy to work with and get the contract set up, and very professional during all of it. They have forms that you fill out and describe your timelines, express your desired songs to play at certain moments, your no-plays, and so on. This was so helpful and showed how much they care about honoring your wishes during the big day. Hunter was our designated DJ and did such a great job bringing fun to the dancefloor in an effortless way! He was thoughtful in meeting with us the week before the wedding and asked detailed questions to get to know our desires as a couple, which meant a lot. You are in great hands with 2Bays!

mmunication and their website was very easy to navigate when I was entering in our music list. There wasn't a single glitch on our big day. The music was amazing!! Everyone said the selection was awesome! We never left the dance floor. Dan was quick to respond when I needed a polka played due to some family leaving. Dan was amazing and very professional! We are so happy that we hired 2Bays DJs. Thank you for making our big day extra amazing!!

g was outdoors in late October and had a couple of different options for dancing locations(either outdoor or indoor). Initially the plan was to dance outside but we were told the day before our wedding that dancing would be moved inside due to how cold it was and Brian handled it with ease and gave me the assurance it would be no problem! Everything went so well; the ceremony music and voice volume was great, the cocktail hour and dinner playlists were amazing(we ended up going with his suggestions while adding a couple of artists we like into the mix) and the dance floor was packed all night! We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how good the DJ was and we couldn’t agree more. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Brian and 2BaysDJs were a major part of it! Thank you so much!!

nkful that the other options that I was looking at didn't work out. Brian and his assistant Chase KILLED it with the audio and visuals at our wedding. My husband and I's music style includes a lot of pop, EDM, disco, etc. and we'd shared this in advance with Brian and had shared an EXTENSIVE playlist with him to demonstrate our 'vibe'. First of all, the microphones and the tech systems were top notch. I'm not going to try to get into the technical lingo but they were decked out and ready to make sure that the sound systems and the speeches would be heard throughout our VERY large tent. Microphones and sound were perfect quality and super smooth. The introductions that Brian did were super professional and fun. He might as well have been a member of the wedding party it was so smooth. We also had 2Bays bring cold sparks to fire off during key moments of the night. Perfectly timed and such a cool effect! Then... the music. I was blown away. Brian took our vibe and made into something so unique and it got the party STARTED. Literally nobody left the dance floor once the music started. It was PACKED. Guests even missed our chef attended banana's foster station because they were too busy partying on the dance floor. It was the BEST DJ set I've ever heard (and I've been to a lot of clubs). Our guests have continued to rave about the music and our DJ months later! Music is one of those things that can make or break the party vibe at a wedding and Brian's set literally brought the ENTIRE party. & when I say that I mean, shirts coming off on the dance floor, drinks spilling, sweaty dancing, and scream singing kind of party. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Brian, Chase, and 2Bays DJs. There really is no question... if you're having a wedding in Northern Michigan you need to hire these guys. They will listen to your vibe, catch it, and turn it into something truly amazing that you and your guests will love and will get people MOVING! Brian: Thank you SO much - you made our wedding so freaking awesome.

equipment so our guests could hear everything over the lake waves. When we went to the formal ballroom dance floor for our reception, they kept the dance floor hopping all night long. They even managed to keep our 20/30 somethings well entertained while also keeping it clean for the 14 and under kids. Service was very professional and price reasonable. I did not have to worry about a thing from the DJ perspective---which was amazing! 10/10 brides would reccommend. Again, I cannot say enough. Gold stars and glowing reviews all around!

fect and the dance floor was packed ALL night long. We had several guests tell us our DJ was the best they have heard. I know they are not the cheapest DJ in the area but they are 100% worth it, I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

ch an amazing job the day of!! They set up the speaker and microphone and played music for the ceremony. For the reception Tyler was our MC and DJ - he did a perfect job! The music he played got everyone on the dance floor and it was the most fun night!! Thank you so much to Brian and Tyler you guys were amazing!!

but we didn't expect them to be so willing to help out. They were kind enough to help our coordinator relocate some floral arrangements which we so appreciate! They provided ceremony music for us and hit all the marks during our ceremony. Cocktail hour and dinner music was perfect to set the vibes we hoped for. They also helped us execute an amazing anniversary dance to celebrate our guests as well. We were blown away by the mixes during the reception, our guests could not stop raving about it! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

at DJ!

C, but his attention to detail, calm demeanor, and control of the room was absolutely unmatched. He went above and beyond so many times to make sure everything went smoothly for us. Brian was so helpful prior to our wedding meeting with us in person, emailing back and forth, phone calls, etc. If their was something he could do to help, he did it without question! He even made time to have a conversation prior o to the day with my cousin who was the violist to make sure she had everything she needed. So many of our family members said they've never seen a dance floor packed like that the entire night! I couldn't be happier with the service provided by 2Bays DJs!

r music preferences. I was really worried about sound during our outdoor ceremony near the water and the guests not being able to hear us well - it turned out ok, but not great. We also had an issue with sound when the DJ was on the patio/dance floor making announcements during the wedding reception/dinner - there was a technical issue and the guests could not hear the announcements (i.e. dessert, time to head out to the dance floor, etc.). These are the only reasons my review isn't a 5 star.

their services for the wedding reception as well as the silent disco after party and it was an absolute dream. They were able to make some serious last minute adjustments out of the goodness of their hearts to make our wedding even more special than I could have imagined. I’m forever indebted to their team for making our wedding a perfect day. Our friends want to plan a Northern Michigan trip together JUST to go back and do another silent disco with them! Thanks for everything, Brian, you’re the best!!!!!!

st.' It made our decision easy. Brian did an amazing job DJing our wedding. We had so many of our guests comment how much they loved the music and people were on the dance floor all night! He's also super professional and did a great job with the flow of the night, introducing our wedding party, timing the bouquet toss, announcing first dances, etc. I would definitely recommend booking 2 Bays for your wedding!!!

(our DJ for the wedding) were extremely helpful and communicative with us and our wonderful planner (Conradie Event Design). Roger took the time to go over our multiple playlists and was able to take our requests to another level. Everyone was on the dance floor throughout the night. We are grateful to Roger, Brian and the 2Bays DJs team for making our wedding memorable.

r all night long and truly made our wedding so fun. They are so thorough and great to work with. I highly recommend!

red different songs for each couple. He nailed it and we all had so much fun! He told me what to expect for the night as far as how our guests would be going on and off the dance floor, and I am so thankful he did! He played a great variety and the remixes he played were a lot of fun to dance to as well! The planning sheets before were great to use too, as they really listened to everything we said/requested!

essing questions. Jason was our DJ for the big day and he was so fabulous to work with! He helped guide us along all of our song choices and announcement needs…and, most importantly, he really knew how to create the perfect atmosphere for us and our guests. We highly recommend booking 2Bays DJs for your event!

s my wedding). He took my playlists as inspiration and truly catered the vibe of our wedding to us. In fact, Brian was so good that our friends paid him to stay later, and they are still talking about how fun and cool he was. It felt like one of our friends was the DJ! 2Bays also comes prepared with any and all equipment you need and knows exactly how to read a room, everything ran on time and just as we planned. We could not have been happier - this is a must book!!

y to set the tone, read the room, and play to the audience was on point. Brian was professional and prompt, and he truly played a key role in the success of our wedding day!

best wedding DJ of all the weddings we've been to, and all our guests said so too! The dance floor was literally never empty for a 4-hour reception. He was also incredibly flexible — I wanted my brother to emcee for a personal touch, which is an unusual request, and Brian took this in stride and worked with my brother all night to coordinate announcements. I also sent him a mile-long "do not play" list which he completely respected, as well as various "vibes" playlists of suggested music for pre-ceremony and cocktail hour, and he took these and riffed on them in such a fabulous way. He was also just incredibly kind and understanding, and a calming presence when we had various unforeseen timeline changes day-of. One of my favorite memories from my wedding is going over with my now-husband to the DJ booth at the end of the reception to thank Brian and give him a huge hug! Cannot recommend 2Bays, and Brian specifically, enough. (Lastly: Incredibly reasonably priced given the impact he had on our day. Few of your vendors will be there from pre-ceremony all the way through to end of reception (8+ hours), but Brian was one of them and still one of our less expensive vendors!)

is is because Dan is so great, but also because he spent a ton of time understanding our music tastes and the vibe we were looking to create. Then he channeled that into an awesome dance party. Just as importantly, he made sure the sound for our ceremony was impeccable while deftly navigating the demands of a less-than-traditional ceremony that included multiple musicians, officiants, and speakers. Dan and his team also paid attention during various parts of the wedding where other DJs might be on autopilot. For example, a song was mentioned during a speech that he ended up playing, which then turned into an impromptu karaoke session -- and one of the best moments of the whole wedding. Last but not least, we concluded our reception with a silent disco after party, which was an absolute highlight and something I recommend all couples do if they can fit it into the budget.

ork. We had the pleasure of working with both Roger and Scott for our wedding and silent disco and were so impressed by both of them! They absolutely followed our specific tastes and special requests while still adding their own great vibes. They set the mood and made sure we danced the night away! It's also worth noting they spent the entire day with us - over 12 hours! This is why we were awarded two DJs for covering music from our ceremony through our cocktail hour, dinner, reception, and silent disco after party. If you have the chance to do a silent disco, we'd HIGHLY recommend it. It was so much fun and was an amazing way to end our magical weekend. This was the highlight of the wedding that all of our guests couldn't say enough about (young and old!)! Scott crushed it on the music for it and the lighting they set us up with for the forest was otherworldly. We look forward to hosting another silent disco party for an anniversary in the future!

y organized. The client portal on their website was easy to use and such a good idea as it helped inform them of the wedding day timeline. Brian was our DJ and he did an outstanding job. Honestly, the best DJ I've ever seen at a wedding. He was very helpful throughout the whole wedding day and mixed songs as if we were in a club. Music/ dancing was a huge part of the wedding and it was exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was packed the whole night and everyone was talking about how amazing the DJ was! Thank you for making the day so perfect!

some set. The mixes were amazing and our dance floor was a lot of fun. Brian coordinated with us to make sure we were on track for the timeline throughout the night. Brian was also willing to travel for our event and traveled from Traverse City to Grand Rapids. Thanks for everything Brian!

ty going. I highly recommend them!

ns between songs were fun and well executed. They did a great job reading the dance floor for what song to play next to get people out on the floor. We had at least 10 people come up to us during the reception asking who the DJ was and commenting it was the best wedding DJ they've experienced (and our friends go to a ton of weddings =)!)

it. I had guests texting me the next day saying it was the best wedding they had been to and the DJ kept the party going. We were so lucky to have him! His timing was amazing and he has excellent music taste. If you want a fun and professional DJ don’t hesitate with Dan and the staff at 2Bays!

had a pretty tall order being a bi-ethnic wedding and we needed to get both the Michiganders and the Latinos on the dance floor. Hunter was able to mix both English and Spanish hits seamlessly in a way that kept everyone grooving. From current to classics, Billy Joel to Bad Bunny, and everything in between, it was a night to remember for both sides of the family. In addition to bringing the party, they also were able to help us orchestrate our ceremony exactly as we envisioned and provided all the equipment necessary, as well as helping us keep to our timeline by directing our guests through the events of our wedding, ushering them to cocktail hour, dinner service, the sparkler exit, etc. There's two things people remember from a wedding: the food and the music, so if music is a priority to you, 2Bays DJs is well and beyond worth it!

had the perfect blend of our choices of music, his selection of great wedding party songs, and requests from guests.

professional! We needed two spots with microphones and speakers for the wedding and tent plus a whole set up for dancing in a different spot in the venue. When attending other weddings I have been disappointed when you couldn’t hear during the wedding and the toasts or the music was so loud you couldn’t talk, but everything was perfect for us. Thank you so much, Alex!

ht.

hey kept the party going all night.

ng website helped my daughter and her fiancé communicate exactly the types of music they wanted all throughout the day. They provided audio for the outdoor service as well as background music for the cocktail hour. DJ Dave was great to work with during the day and was really fun. He got the dance floor hopping! Would highly recommend them. Thank you for making this day perfect.

emony and reception, he successful managed to keep the dance floor packed the entire night. All attendees agreed that this was the most epic dance parties they’ve ever attended. Brian listened to our vision and not only executed but exceeded our expectations. Can’t rave about this company enough!!!

Bays DJs was AMAZING. The energy of the dance floor was probably one of the best out of any wedding I've been to. Brian does a great job of not just playing songs, but actually curating and mixing music to keep the energy and vibe going. On top of that, he did a great job with our ceremony sound needs and was super great to work with before hand as well!

that they had an online portal where you can make note of your music style and what you want and don't want played they made it super easy, that was something I was stressed about and they helped me through selecting specific music for every part of the night! Was very happy with them! I highly recommend them!

ith us the week before and go over everything in detail. He was clearly prepared and he followed through on every request. People were on the dance floor the entire night! We would definitely recommend Roger to any couples looking for a DJ.

important to me and he seriously delivered. The dance floor was full all night, and I’ve gotten sooooo many compliments from my guests about how great the music was. I really couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience. THANK YOU BRIAN!

s by letting them help with the lights. He was the exact kind of chill vibe that we wanted in a DJ and we couldn't have asked for anything more!
