Amazing DJ that goes above and beyond!

Having called on Patrick and his team for several company functions, as well as our annual neighborhood block party; there was no question regarding who I was going to trust enough to recommend for our Daughters Wedding.

As usual Patrick did not disappoint and he was actually instrumental in making the wedding darn near magical.

Patrick (and team) goes beyond just providing you with a "DJ", they are extremely polished; I would consider them more like "hosts".

Patrick reads his audience quickly and before you know it, everyone is on the floor!

Before your event, Patrick and his team will work with you to make sure they understand your vision for the event.

Patrick will set up meetings and will personally meet with you. During this meeting, he provides templates for music, speeches, pretty much anything you could possibly think of really.

I can not stress this enough. Book him while you can! If you are on the fence, consider this review an official reference and recommendation.

The Party Hearty Man

Patrick Byrd was an absolute delight to work with. He made sure to play requests even if they're last minute. Have music playing on cue for the ceremony, entries and reception. He is also very communicative when it comes to details. We highly recommend Patrick for your wedding!

Patrick and Roland were Amazing

Planning meetings and scheduling of events with Patrick was a breeze. He provides templates for introductions, songs to be played, suggestions and so forth. He also worked with us on a timeline for events.

During our event Patrick and Roland had the whole crowd dancing and having fun and were in tune with our crown and which song genres they liked best. Could not have asked for a better night. Thank you Patrick and Roland!

I recently met Patrick while searching for a DJ in Virginia Beach for my daughter's upcoming wedding. I had heard that he was one of the top DJs in Hampton Roads! Unfortunately, he already was booked. Amazingly, he called me back to let me know he regretted he couldn't be there but would be happy to refer us to other DJs in the area. He also gave me recommendations for a caterer and two rental companies. He went way above the call of duty and was so professional, kind and knowledgeable. As a Wedding Planner in Pensacola, FL, I was totally impressed and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a great DJ!!!

Patrick is GREAT to work with. He is very organized and on top of everything. Before the bride and groom walk down the aisle he even makes an announcement to guests to please silence your phones (in this day and age that is definitely a big deal!) No one wants a phone ruining a special moment. Throughout the evening he kept me informed and on top of the upcoming events. He is a pleasure to work with and I have had the opportunity to work with him twice so far. Highly recommend him for working your big day!
