Reviews for Battleson Entertainment




Hands down, Gus Garcia at Battleson Entertainment was our absolute favorite vendor. From the day we met, we felt so relaxed with him and we actually had a good time at our planning meeting. Despite other DJs who cater to bridezillas that need to pick every song, Gus genuinely understands how people work and how to play music to get people dancing. He asked perfect questions at our meeting and it really seemed like he understood the feel that we were going for and above that, our personalities and preferences more generally. Gus never gave me a reason to worry and our interactions at my actual wedding is a blur to me because it went sooo smoothly. I can honestly say that people were dancing before our first official dance set started until the very, very last song. One of my bridesmaids took his card at the end of the night for no reason, other than the fact that Gus was absolutely amazing and she needed to have his card. Another one of my bridesmaids got too drunk and hit on him, which he took in stride and made sure she was properly hydrated. I will be recommending Gus to all my friends that will be getting married in the years to come. Favorite vendor. No questions about it.




Bruce is awesome! He's so sincere, you can tell he actually cares about hearing what you have to say. The other DJs we met with gave us a generic speech and didn't care to know anything about us, how we met, etc. Bruce sit down with you and asks all the right questions to ensure that you get what you want out of your wedding music. The booklet he gives you is a godsend for all organized brides out there too! I highly recommend him!




Bruce Battleson was the best DJ and MC that we could have asked for. Most people don't see the value in having a talented DJ that can get the crowd going all night long. There's actually an art to reading people, getting a sense for the overall mood, keeping everyone happy, knowing when to change the pace, etc. Bruce knew exactly what to do the entire evening, which helped make the night a success!
I also can't thank Bruce enough for his help making a mix CD for our first dance song. Our request was out of the ordinary and came at the last minute. I felt so bad but Bruce was so wonderful and gladly accepted the request. Soon after, he FedEx'ed exactly what we asked for.
I would highly recommend Bruce to be the MC and DJ on your special day, or at any event that you want to be a success!




We first saw DJ Geoff Maddox at a friend's wedding. He was awesome and we knew he would make our wedding day perfect too. Arrangements are made through owner Bruce Battleson. He was always responsive to emails and phone calls during the planning process. Prospective clients are sent a booklet (approximately 40 pages) to get a feel for all the details needed to personalize your day. We reviewed our packet with Geoff and had no doubt he was going to keep our wedding guests engaged in the fun but without being obnoxious. On our wedding day, he actually exceeded our expectations. We had several impromptu speeches and he rolled with the flow the entire night. He acted like our coordinator keeping us on time and at the end of the night, he gave us a CD of all of our special songs!
GUEST




Bruce was great!! He was fun to work with and gave me good feedback about the music that I chose (for example if he thought it would go over well on the dance floor or not). He is very organized and gave me a booklette to fill out with all kinds of information about us as a couple, our families, what we wanted our wedding to be like, and of course the music we like. It was very thorough and I definitely think it made communicating about what I wanted easier. He has a really laid back, chill personality and I liked working with him. Plus, I got an incredibly good price because my wedding was on a Tuesday! I went with the Turnip Rose for my venue, and he is very familiar with how they do things so that ensured that things would go smoothly as well. This is a good DJ!
GUEST




Gus Garcia made our event fun and entertaining for us and all our guests. Bruce Battleson and Gus were responsive to our emails. Gus was flexible with our pre wedding meeting times and listened to our needs. Battleson Entertainment gets to know the wedding couple so they can customize the music to your personalities and to help fit the "feel" of your event. A fun time was had by all and Gus played an important part in that. Thanks Gus!
GUEST




Gus was amazing! He worked with us on everything and made our vision really come to life! People gushed to us after about how wonderful, entertaining, and clever Gus was. He was truely a cornerstone of our wedding! THANK YOU GUS!

As a result of manner in which you do business, you offered one less thing we had to worry about on our wedding day. We were VERY pleased with Gus.
GUEST




Bruce was the best Dj ever! He dj'd my wedding last night and I could not have been happier!!! I listen to a lot of music, so Bruce knew he had a big job when he signed on as my wedding Dj! He is super professional, friendly, so easy to work with, reliable, he played such good music that everyone was on the dancefloor all night! Everyone told me that I had the best music that they had ever heard at a party, let alone wedding! I am so happy and will remember it for the rest of my life! Bruce is the absolute best!! Thank you Bruce!!!
GUEST




We first heard at about Gus at our friends wedding the previous summer, he was amazing!!! We had to hire him for our wedding and he was just as great. He kept the party going with perfect music selections and he was a complete professional at the wedding. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!!
GUEST




I absolutely recommend using Bruce as your wedding dj!! He is so easy to work with and does a great job at getting people up and dancing at the reception. I used to work at a catering company, so I have seen Bruce work many weddings and he is an awesome MC. That's why I knew I could trust him with my wedding. I have been getting so many compliments about the wedding, saying that it's the funnest wedding that they've ever been to. That's exactly what I wanted to hear!! Great job Bruce!!! Thank you so much!
GUEST




Bruce was without a doubt ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! He DJ'd at our wedding and was spot on!! He is not only ultra professional but also a great guy. He's funny and makes a brilliant Emcee :)I would definitely recommend Bruce to anyone who is having a wedding or any event that requires a DJ.

Vendor response to review
Dave, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an honor to be a part of your amazing wedding! All of your friends and family were so fun and so nice. Let's do it again in 5 years!
GUEST




Bruce was a fantastic DJ. We had guests beg us at the end of the night not to let him stop becuase they were enjoying the music so much! We had requested a mix of indian and western music and he worked everything in really well. He was creative in selecting music to make sure people were always on the dance floor and he assumed the personality that we desired for our wedding DJ. He worked well with our MCs and the venue staff to make sure everything flowed well. Additionally, when were planning the wedding, Bruce asked us some really great questions to help us really think about what we wanted our wedding to be.
GUEST




When we started our DJ search, our biggest concern was accidentally getting a DJ that thought he was the star of the show, a comedian or super cheesy. We really wanted someone who would watch the crowd and play the music according to them while staying in the background. We wanted a full dance floor without any cheesy gimmicks. After a lot of research, we found Bruce Battleson, and we are so happy we did. Bruce Battleson is an awesome DJ! We were impressed with his organization, philosophy and professionalism right away. We felt very comfortable and excited hiring him to be our DJ for our July, 2011 wedding, and after all was said and done, he did not let us down. Bruce had the party going all the way to the end. He did exactly what we asked and was very easy to work with. Many of our guests commented on what a great DJ he was and how much they enjoyed the music selection. We whole heartedly recommend Bruce to anyone looking for a DJ. I would without a doubt hire him for another event.
GUEST




Bruce was professional and organized which immediately made me interested in using him as a DJ. He was exactly what we asked for at our wedding! Thank you Bruce! :)
GUEST




Bruce didn't become the wedding, he enhanced it.He didn't overshadow the Bride and Groom he highlighted them. He didn't steal the limelight, he provide an atmosphere for fun and enjoyment.Bruce is the best DJ at a wedding or any event I have ever attended.
GUEST




Bruce was incredible! The DJ is so important to a wedding and Bruce added so much to our special day. He was such a first-class, professional dude!!! He even noticed that my father in law didn't have a glass of champagne during his toast and raced to get him one. Seriously is the best!




Bruce from Battleson Entertainment helped make our wedding an amazing night! He was very thorough during the planning process and was the perfect MC for our reception. He knew exactly how to get the guests on the dance floor and listened to our must play and do not play lists! The music played was exactly what we discussed and had been envisioning for our party.
Bruce was an amazing part of our wedding team and we are so thankful we hired him to be part of this important day. As a DJ and MC, Battleson Entertainment was absolutely perfect. Hire them, you won't be sorry!
GUEST




Gus was an awesome DJ. He has a really easy-going personality, and knew exactly the type of vibe we wanted to have at our wedding. He played key songs at just the right moments, creating memories that we will never forget. Everything went smoothly in the planning process as well - he and Bruce were very responsive over e-mail, and were very organized. We would definitely recommend them!
GUEST




Ask any of our friends and family what my now husband and I share in common and they would tell you our shared love for music. So when it came time to start the planning process of our wedding, we wanted to make sure that whoever we chose to be our dj/mc for our wedding not only understand our love for music but also share that same appreciation. When our friends Anthony and Dani got married last year, Gus was hired as their DJ. We couldn't stop talking about how awesome Gus was and how he was able to capture the attention of the guests and take charge of the reception smoothly. It was no question that we wanted Gus to be a part of our wedding. From beginning to end, Gus was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better dj. He was professional and yet seemed like a part of our family. He was able to bring friends and family of all ages to the dance floor. There was one point where we had to move some chairs to make room on the dance floor. He listened to what we had requested during our pre-wedding meeting and took into consideration what he had learned about us and incorporated into our wedding. With our friends getting engaged and married in the coming year, we hope to see Gus soon!!!
GUEST




We were referred to Battleson Entertainment from a co-worker who was familiar with the company and with Gus. In our initial meeting with Gus we knew almost right away that this wasn't your average DJ service. He asked many questions and really tried to get to know us as a couple. He cared about what we wanted for our wedding and what were expecting from him. Gus has a fun and easy going personality. Even though we had an agenda for the wedding we still wondered how it would actually play out. The day of the wedding Gus took control and made sure everything went as planned. We were absolutely pleased with the music and the way everything was handled. At the end of the night my guest were saying how great our DJ was. Because Gus did such a GREAT job we have referred some of our other friends to him who will be getting married in the near future. We can't say enough great things about our experience with Gus and Battleson Entertainment. We highly recommend them for your next occasion!
GUEST




Bruce was organized and professional from the start of conversation to the completion of services. This guy knows DJ'ing and above all, he knows weddings. His range of music is so expansive and ecclectic, it serves for listeners from all walks of life of all ages and preferences. He is super easy to work with and very hard working. He loves a good party and wants you to have just that. He is a great guy and I am glad I was able to get to work with him on my wedding.
GUEST




We had Gus Garcia as our DJ for our wedding and we are so glad we had him! He was so great right from our first meeting on. He knew exactly what to do, which was very helpful since my now husband and I had no idea what we were doing. He walked us through every step and we both felt good about how the reception was going to turn out. The reception was truly a classy yet FUN party with the best music. He kept the party going and moving and did a great job keeping the flow of the music and feeling out the party. Everyone there said it was the most fun wedding they have been to. We were recommended to battleson entertainment by a friend of mine, and I am so glad she recommended them. I have been to some weddings with some bad dj's and you will not find that with battleson entertainment. I could honestly recommend them to anyone I know and feel good about my recommendation! Thanks Gus!!! We loved you!
GUEST




Choosing Bruce as our DJ was the best decision we made! So many of our guests commented on how great he was not only after the wedding, but the day of too! He knew exactly what to play and when to play it because our guests were on the dancefloor all night! Everything went according to plan and if we could do it all over again, Bruce would still be our #1 pick! You will not be disappointed! :)
GUEST




Our DJ Bruce was the absolute best choice I made for our wedding! I had called and spoke with a few different DJ's before I made my decision and I could not have been happier. First and foremost.... he was extremely helpful in helping us choose the best music for the enitre night. My (now) husband, is very into all types of different music and I'm more of the "anything on the pop radio stations" kind of girl, so we had to meet in the middle on a lot of the genres and feel of our wedding. Bruce gave us ideas on great compromises and was so extremely patient sitting with us nearly 3 hours in his office while we went through all the options. We didn't feel rushed at all and he helped us pick out music that would entertain our wedding of 200 guests and of all ages. Now that our wedding is all said and done I can honestly say how ridiculously important it is to have the best of the best for a DJ. This will MAKE OR BREAK your wedding and the fun all of your guests have. BRIDES BEWARE! I now have learned how valuable Bruce became when it was all said and done. We received a ton of compliments about the flow and tone of our wedding and I owe so much of that to Bruce. I will highly recommend Bruce Battleson to ANYONE and EVERYONE! Love HIM!!! A+++++
GUEST




Bruce was amazing! He was professional, attentive to guests, and kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. If you want a DJ that will keep the night moving, but not overpower the event- call Bruce!!!
GUEST




Gus is any Wedding Coordinators true blessing. Detail, detail is so important to me and Gus was amazing. He was available anytime before the wedding for me to ask millions of questions and always willing to help. He was able to change things last minute and made it seem seemless. The bride and groom can not stop complementing how much they loved him. They keep saying "he made my wedding memorable and exactly what I dreamed of". Thank you Gus for being my knight in Shining Armor...you saved me!!!!
GUEST




Bruce is talented and extremely personable. He truly made our wedding special, and kept the guests dancing all night. He takes the time to personalize your wedding music to fit your style, which was very important to us. I would highy recommend his services!!
GUEST




It's too bad the star rating only goes to 5, we would give Bruce higher than that. My wife and I have been to several weddings and we both agree that Bruce was BY FAR better than ANY of the other DJ's we have seen. We could not recommend anyone higher.
GUEST




Bruce came recommended to me and as soon as I meet him, I knew he had what it took to make me happy and connect with my friends and family on the day of the wedding. I was impressed by the dedication he takes in his work and the resources he provided me. He shared CDs and music lists to help us come up with a variety of music for our playlist. I have seen no other DJ do this...ever! He's down to earth and really easy to talk to and he actually wants to know about you and your spouse. I gave him the timeline of my reception and what I wanted him to do, and he stuck to it missing nothing and was the right type of DJ for us. I think he even went the extra mile to talk to my Mom which won major points with her at the reception and many friends and family commented on how good he was getting them involved and playing a variety of music. He's a great DJ and you're getting a great value for the price.
GUEST




Bruce has a fantastic personality. He was meant to be a DJ. Also, because of his wedding DJ experience, he was able to provide me and my husband very helpful advice in a funny, kind, and professional manner.
GUEST




Gus Garcia did the hardest job during the entire wedding: getting me motivated to continue the wedding agenda. I thought i was going to quit for a minute there, but had to finish. Thank you Gus :). The music was exactly what I expected it to be & no surprises. People left the wedding saying how fun it was.
GUEST




We had Gus do our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! We recommended him to a friend and when she got married he was there again and just as amazing!Gus does a very good job at reading the crowd, getting people involved, and staying aware of the atmosphere. He really know how to use a variety of songs to get all your guests out of their seats and onto the dance floor.Gus is friendly guy who's easy to talk to and caters to your musical tastes. I cannot recommend him enough!!Bride's note: I want to say that we didn't just recommend Gus, the person who used him at their wedding was one of my bridesmaids. She saw how many people were having a good time on the dance floor and wanted that for her wedding- I think that's the best compliment of all! Honestly, looking back at pictures, you can see that the dance floor was packed through-out the night- so fun! Gus was great at playing our style of music, but I was also glad that we gave him the green light to play what the thought would get our guests of all ages up and having a good time! Gus was a great DJ and a pleasure to work with! We hope to see him at many more weddings!
GUEST




I liked how organized they were in the beginning. Bruce Really cares about his customers and wants their experiance to be perfect.

GUEST




My wedding planner at The Turnip Rose recommended Bruce since he's their house DJ. And I'm so glad I took her advice! He's very easy to work with, knows what he's talking about and has a great selection of music. Not only is a great DJ but he's also great at being an MC, which isn't always the case at other weddings. He made the music selection process quite easy and will do his best to tailor to your needs. Book him for your wedding or next big event!
GUEST




Bruce was amazing! He was so professional, easy going and fun. He made our wedding the absolute best day of our lives. He was responsive, had excellent tips and suggestions, played all of our song requests (even the weird ones) and really made sure that our wedding reception was everything we wanted it to be. He played music that we liked and really played to our crowd. Our guests absolutely loved him and made several comments on how fantastic he was. I could not have been happier with Bruce and would recommend him to anyone.

GUEST




I truly believe a DJ can make or break a wedding. They are responsible for the guests and how much fun everyone has. After having a friend refer me to Bruce at Battleson entertainment I met with him and was so impressed that we hired him and are so happy with our decision. He did the most amazing job and we received so many compliments. He was so professional, fun and friendly!!! A year later we just had a surprise 60th bday party fort father-in-law and called upon Battleson Entertainment again. This time we had tue pleasure of having Gus dj. And for the second time we were so thankful to have hired them. Gus too kept everyone having fun and again was so professional and friendly. Again we got so many compliments on his job. If you want someone dependable and fun and great...look no further than Battleson Entertainment!!!! They are the best!!!!
GUEST




Bruce really tied our entire wedding together. Of all our wedding business partners, out guests commented on "the DJ" the most for being the best part of the event. My wife and I enjoyed the preinterviews with Bruce and his attention to detail of what we wanted for our wedding day. I would strongly recommend him to anyone getting married, or any other parties. He will definitely be receiving referalls from us.
GUEST




My husband and I were lucky to have Bruce as our DJ for our wedding reception last week; he was amazing! He did a wonderful job of coordinating the night's events, entertaining our guests with his wit and charm, and keeping a steady crowd dancing on the dance floor. I felt that Bruce really took the time to get to know us and find out exactly what we wanted. Best of all he's very accommodating and easy-going which helped to make that aspect of the wedding planning quite effortless. My guests have all mentioned what a fun and well-organized event it was. We whole-heartedly recommend Bruce for quality DJ services!

Bruce is the BEST! So flexible, so professional and absolutely the greatest DJ! He is funny without being the center of attention yet he keeps the flow of the event going. He just DJ'd my wedding and EVERYONE is commenting on how great our DJ was. I was able to paint a picture for Bruce and he knew just what I wanted. He really was awesome and after 6 other choices, I am truly thankful we went with him! Thank you, thank you, thank you Battleson Entertainment!
GUEST




Bruce, you were fabulous! We got so many great compliments! You kept us all on the dance floor and even when people were getting tired in the middle of the night you managed to get them back out there and we finished the night strong! We had a blast!! Thanks so much!

We were very impressed by the time and care Bruce took to get to know us, our music tastes, our guests age range/tastes and how we envisioned the evening. We also appreciated that he had endless ideas when we were stumped and didn't know what ceremony music to chose. He executed our vision for both the wedding and reception superbly and helped us accomplish our most important goal for the evening - which was to make sure we had EVERYBODY up and dancing and having fun!! Couldn't have asked for a better party or a better DJ.

Two co-workers recommended Battleson Entertainment and we were definitely not dissapointed. We worked with Bruce and could not be more pleased.

Bruce is the definition of true professionalism as far as wedding DJs go. He has a unique ability to feel out his audience and provide whatever it is to keep the party going. We loved the fact that he custom tailors his work to that of what the bride and groom want for their wedding. And in our case, it was just downright crazy and fun. Thanks again Bruce! You rock!

Bruce is such a professional. I have worked with him on many occasions at several different venues. He is a classy DJ with a great voice, he is confident, flexible and funny! I definitely look forward to working with Bruce again.
I highly recommend Bruce with Battleson Entertainment - I've enjoyed working with him over the last several years. When celebrating the most important day of your life there are many things that can go wrong. One of those things is having a DJ that has little or no experience . The DJ is the director at your event and I'm always relieved when I see Bruce at my events; I know things will run smoothly. My clients are always pleased with the amazing service Bruce provides -- he will always remain highly recommended by me!
Bruce and his guys at Battleson Entertainment are a class act. They work very hard at planning and executing each and every Wedding.I have such faith in Bruce that I refer my personal clients to his company when we are overbooked.
Battleson Entertainment is a wonderful DJ company. LVL has worked with Bruce many of times and he is always professional and our clients love him!
