    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!

    Patrick Byrd Pro Dj and Event Host's reply:

    Hi George!
    It was absolutely our pleasure. Thank you so much for the opportunity to host your very special day! The family and guests were so much fun! Blessings to you and Kendall for many happy years together!
    Patrick & Roland!

    Wonderful experience

    Patrick played for our daughter’s wedding reception and we had a wonderful time. He played some specific music they asked for that wasn’t super mainstream and it made them so happy! Highly recommend!

    Keep the Party Going With DJ Patrick Byrd!

    We contracted with DJ Patrick Byrd to be the officiant, host and DJ for my son's wedding. What a phenomenal experience! He does it all: Officiant, DJ, and Host. Patrick was so patient with me during the planning process and he is professional, kind, and reliable. During the rehearsal, he made sure everybody was comfortable with their roles and what to do. On wedding day, he set up a Zoom link for our family & friends who couldn't attend in person. It was amazing!! And the reception...EPIC!!! Patrick tapped into the vibe and energy of the crowd, and kept people on the dance floor non-stop. His light show was off the charts. And his assistant ROLAND??? Don't let the calm demeanor fool you, Roland is a party animal. LOL We LOVED having them as part of our family for the evening. Patrick and Roland do the work of 3 people for one very reasonable price. It is WORTH it. I believe Patrick has been doing this work for over 25 years and he understands the stress that a mother of the groom/wedding coordinator feels to make everything perfect. I just can't say enough about Patrick & Roland. Many thanks to both of you! I'm still getting phone calls and texts about the beautiful ceremony and how LIT the reception were.

    Trust me, you will be in great hands with them. Stop scrolling and make the call. You won't regret it!

    Amazing dj and assistant who made my day perfect!

    I had my outdoor dream wedding on my grandpa's property on March 25th, 2023. We had the big white tent with all the decorations like I always pictured. My fiance' and I both agreed that we were very particular about who would be keeping us all entertained and organized for the evening since we didn't have a wedding coordinator. We searched all over wedding wire and finally found Patrick Byrd. Our prayers were answered! He had years of experience, a beautiful, clean, professional set up that didn't look cheap like some others I had come across. We were also happy that he had an assistant who was an extension of him. If we needed anything, his assistant Roland was there to help so we wouldn't have to interrupt Patrick while he was working. After a face to face meeting with Patrick, we knew in minutes we were going to hire him! He really "got us" and we gave him a deposit on the spot! The day of the event Patrick and Roland were like a well oiled machine. They brought in the equipment and everything looked just like the pictures he showed us after setup! As the evening progressed we truly saw the professionalism and smooth transitions from one thing to the next! We didn't have a thing to worry about! Patrick was on the job! I have to make a special shout out on here about Patrick's assistant Roland. I have been to many weddings in my life and I have to say this young man was awesome! During the ceremony he was the "point man" for each entrance of the wedding party. He and Patrick were in sync for each one, especially mine! I had a specific part of the song I wanted to enter at, and Roland's ears were listening for me since I couldn't hear it where I was standing. My entrance was perfectly timed because of him. Also, since we had to transition the tent inside from Ceremony to Reception there was some work to do after the ceremony was over. The vendor we got the tables and chairs from were hardworking and were a little shorthanded due to illness. Roland had no problem rolling up his sleeves and moving chairs and helping haul in table after table so guests wouldn't try to help!!! Of course I found this out later on from one of my family members. I was so impressed! Thank you Roland! Roland also was a lot of fun through out the reception! He jumped in and helped lead line dances, he jumped on the equipment and helped with music during intros before the reception started. Grandpa was so happy that everything went so well on my special day, he put an extra tip in the DJ envelope for Roland. Thank you Patrick and Roland for making my wedding day everything I hoped for AND MORE!!!! I can not say enough about you both. If anyone is looking for a great DJ who can read the room and an assistant who is always on point these are your guys. We consider you family now! Grandpa Hal sends his love and thanks to you both too!!!!

    So Much Fun

    Patrick and his assistant Shawn were fantastic. He played a song list we asked for during the cocktail hour....then we unleashed him and he made the reception rock! He is very easy to work with and very organized. Don't hesitate....hire him

    ceremony and reception

    We are from out of town and were nervous when choosing an officiant and Dj. Patrick put us at ease and was all around amazing. From our first conversation to our special day, he accommodated any of our random requests and was always quick to respond! Patrick was fun and kept our guests dancing!! Everything ran smoothly and SO fun!

    Very positive experience!

    My nephew & his new wife were married on 9/4/2021. Patrick was the officiant for the wedding & also the DJ at the reception. He was able to make the wedding so personal & special. As the mistress of ceremonies, I interacted with Patrick from the start of the wedding rehearsal to the departure of the bride & groom at the end of the reception. He was very professional but also made the reception fun & a special for the bride & groom. I would highly recommend Patrick!

    I couldn't ask for any better

    We booked him as our officiant AND DJ!
    There's no question about it, book him, do it now! My husband and I were so concerned about us picking the right songs and we shouldn't have. We told Patrick what we wanted and how we wanted the night to go. We had a Roaring 20's theme and wanted that to be played during social hour, instrumental only at dinner, and then party music. During our father/daughter & mother/son dance we had the "record scratch" and switched songs and did a conga line and EVERYBODY joined it (which I wasn't expecting), during the cake cutting we switched songs from How Sweet it is to be love by you to EAT IT by Weird Al as we fed each other and EVERYONE loved it. Every time I told myself that my feet were killing me and I needed to sit after this song, he went and played another great song that I couldn't not dance to. Songs that I didn't think our families would dance to, he got them to do it! Him and his assistant both joined us in dancing at some points which helped keep the hype up. He was exceptional! He made the night feel very memorable for us and our guests. My husband and I don't know how it could have gone any better (we had a lot of chaos with other things that day but he made it magical).

    He was our wedding officiant with excellence

    Reverend Byrd was our wedding officiant for our wedding Aug 15, 2020. He was outstanding and made sure the ceremony was special! I am so happy I found him on WeddingWire.com. He was very understanding to our needs as well as passionate about joining couples together.
    I enjoyed the religious ceremony that he provided with a prayer to go with it. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a officiant. He did an outstanding job! Thank you Reverend Byrd!

    Patrick Byrd Pro DJ

    Patrick is awesome! We had a small wedding, less than 35 people and wasn’t going to have a DJ. Wow, sure glad we did! Patrick kept the night moving, from the ceremony to the last dance. He is great to work with, attentive with an terrific sound system. Thank you so much Patrick!!!

    Patrick was fantastic and really read the room!

    Patrick made sure we got exactly what we wanted. I gave him very few ideas prior to the day and he kept my guests on the dance floor to the very end! He really read the room and there wasn’t a single song that didn’t impress.

    Fantastic night and amazing set up

    Patrick did amazing with the orchestrating of events and keeping the timeline moving along. The newlywed game was a blast and the garter toss/boquet toss was amazing. We had so much fun and thank you Patrick for being a huge part of it.

    Patrick was amazing! His wife was our officiant and we had him from the very beginning to the very end. He did everything we asked including the specific style we had playing before the wedding and the last two songs of the night. Not sure what you want? He has so many songs and variations to choose from and will help you pick. We picked Amazing Grace to be played during part of the ceremony, but apparently it gets used a lot during funerals. He sent me like 5 other options, but still would have played Amazing Grace if we wanted. We had a problem that pulled the my husband and I away for a few minutes, so he actually got on the dance floor and danced with the guests! I would highly recommend Patrick to anybody, especially if your like me and don't really know music. If you do have Patrick as your Dj, I would recommend you have his wife Launa as your officiant since the two of them work so well together.

    Patrick was amazing!!!! His wife Rev. Launa Byrd did our ceremony and Patrick was our DJ from the moment I walked down the aisle until our after Party! He was super easy to work with and was very flexible and resourceful to ensure that it was everything we wanted :) We couldn't be happier with his service! He played such good songs that I didn't want to leave the dance floor (only to go to the bathroom lol). GO with Patrick and he won't disappoint you!

    Absolutely phenomenal D.J. and really helped us get everything organized. We shopped around quite and for the services provided Patrick is the best choice. Excellent service and communication and he also provides all sound equipment and lighting included in his flat rate (extremely helpful when working on a fixed budget). Do not hesitate to hire Patrick and if you need an officiant for your Wedding, his wife Launa is a great choice and together they made sure we had everything taken care of.

    We found Reverend Patrick and his wife (Reverend Launa) on a website and we are so glad we did. We contacted them and contracted with them to officiate our daughter's wedding in Suffolk, Va. We had the ceremony at our home with around 35-40 guest. They were professional, kind, attentive to detail and simply wonderful. We really were clueless on how to conduct a wedding but with Patrick and Launa's guidance we had a wonderful event. Their word is as good as gold and they proved to be the best investment we could have made. Our daughter,s happiness was our main concern and all of her wishes were realized mainly due to this dynamic duo's caring and experience in officiating and DJ (ing). We would recommend their services to anyone. We really can't say enough praise to express our thankfulness to them for making our daughter's special day so memorable.

    Ladies and gentlemen, any other choice would be the wrong choice! Patrick is the consummate professional and is a pleasure to work with! He made our wedding easy and HIGHLY entertaining! We got several compliments from guests about how it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to! The planning was a breeze a and he offered great suggestions! Be sure to do the newlywed game! It's a riot! ;)

    I can't wait until I have another event that he can host! His greatness and a DJ/host is only surpassed by his greatness as a person! Thanks for everything Patrick!!!
