Big Day Entertainment, Video & Photography

My husband picked out the videographer to record the ceremony and then to do guest interviews at the reception. We had Jordon. He did a great job, he checked in with us during the reception to see if there was anyone we wanted to be sure we got which I really thought was just great! He was polite and funny. A pleasure to have around on our day.

They did a spectacular job on my cousin's wedding so I chose to pick them. When I met with them, I was overloaded with different options which made it easy to pick out exactly what I want. It is a little pricey, but the end product (especially the video) is great.

Horrible experience. These people are awful. Stay far, FAR away.My story? Our photographer we booked through them cancelled the Saturday before our wedding because she didn't feel like doing the gig for the price they quoted us. Big Day "saved" us by giving us this total schmuck (that they claimed "taught black & white photograpy" - we wanted all black & white). He didn't know the first thing about b&w photos (and told us right out that he didn't. so they just lied to us to make us feel better??). To make matter worse, they gave us half of our pictures in color even though we clearly specified that we wanted b&w.long story short, my husband is a floating head in all of our pictures - his black tux blends into the background.. and it was a beautiful sunny day.. plenty of light. I would have been better off giving my 8 year old nephew a camera (actually the disposable cameras we had on the tables are my only saving grace. They're the only pictures I have that are worth anything).Worst yet, we had to wait FOUR months to get these lousy photos. And when I called them out on the bad photos, they blew me off. When they finally saw the pictures their tune changed slightly, but they were still jerks about it and it took another 2 months to get them back again (and even then they were only SLIGHTLY better.. he was a faded floating head then).Big Day makes all kinds of (empty) promises and does whatever it takes to get you to sign a contract, but once you sign, they could not care less. You (hopefully) only get one "big day". PLEASE don't trust it to these scam artists. I regret it every day of my happily married life.

I only used Big Day's DJ services. We went with DJ Dale Alan and he was PERFECT!!! So professional, easy to work with, considerate to me and my husband taking all his cues from us, and so much fun! We got sooo many compliments on the music and he took requests no problem!

Big Day Entertainment was great. We booked our photographer late because we originally were not going to use one. We had no problem finding one with big day. They gave us a list of the available photographers and where we could view samples of their work online. We chose Dino Bovo. He was very professional but also laid back which made everyone feel very comfortable. He got every shot that we wanted plus a ton more. Every moment that we want to remember is forever captured in photos and that is exactly what I wanted.

Big Day didn't do our photos for the wedding, but did our engagement photos.We were in their system and were offered a promotional package, I won't go into the details, but in exchange for using our photos and a video for advertisement, they would give us a photo session, some free prints, and a discount on other orders.The photo session went fine, the photographer was very professional and nice. HOWEVER, I did feel like we were being rushed through and felt that he wasn't interested in helping us find flattering poses -- almost all were turned to the side and I am a larger woman. The photos were okay, out of the 70 or so he took, we liked about 10... Again, though, the quality was fine, they just weren't very flattering.The real trouble happened when I was ordering photos -- response was VERY slow. I submitted an order at the very beginning of January and received a response explaining that the person who normally handles the photos was out of town and I was given instructions on who to contact. I did so, and my phone calls were not returned.It took OVER A MONTH to get my order processed, and by that point I went down to the Strip to pick them up myself rather than paying the shipping fee...

We used Kevin as a our DJ. He was extremely professional, dressed in a tuxedo, on time, equipment ready. We spoke several times before our big day, so I felt very comfortable using his service. During our cocktail hour he played live piano for our guests. We had our reception at Heinz Hall and it set the tone for a very classy reception. He played all the songs we requested and none of the songs we rejected. Great Guy!

We used Finesse which is a band that books through Big Day and couldn't have been happier. They were very professional on time, dressed very well, and above all sounded incredible. They had a male and female singers who had great voices and did many good oldies and new ones too. Did well with the request also.

If you go to Big Day ask for Lea!!!! DJ Lea and her father were thee BEST DJ's !!! They were so flexible, understanding and creative! They read the crowd and played a great variety of music plus they were so much fun!

They were everything I could ask for and made my wedding something i can see whenever I want!

I though Sean did good as our DJ. The dance floor was packed all night. We needed someone to fit in our budget and he was willing to work with us on price.

One of my biggest concerns for my wedding after the ceremony and reception location was the DJ. As a young couple, we wanted our party to be fun-filled and with friends and family that love to dance, we wanted a DJ that kept the party going. John was exactly that! From the very moment we talked on the phone to get a sense of what kind of music we liked (and did not), John got a great sense of what kind of couple we were and gave us the perfect blend of music for our younger friends, as well as our families. He made our day what we wanted it to be, including making two last minute changes the night before the wedding: playing the Penn State (our alma mater) fight song, and a song that was given as a wedding gift to us. He included both so seamlessly into the night that you would have thought we had planned them for months. John is professional, extremely kind and truly knows how to get a party started and keep it going. I know that everyone in our family had such a good time, and are all planning to work with John again for future events: birthday parties, reunions and hopefully some more weddings!

I would recommend this company to anyone for a beautiful day. The dj played for an hour longer than he had said he would so we could have music during our ceremony and dinner. He played a beautiful mix of fast and slow songs ranging from any era we wanted and DID NOT play the things we did not want. Even if the guests begged it had to be approved through us. It was THE BEST!

Although we enjoyed working with BigDay, our photographer was a dud. She was rude and didn't take the pictures that I wanted. I gave her a list and on that day, I wasn't really thinking about the list. She had it and did not follow it.
