Brian Kelm Productions

Absolutely amazing! Very full of energy which makes the reception even better. Brian did more than what we would expect a DJ to do, he was also our wedding planner. We can't thank him enough for an amazing day.

Brian is the best! Our venue put is through the grinder and he was there for us the whole way. He helped plan parts of the night that he wasn't even a part of. He helped us to brainstorm through the ceremony, photos, dinner, cake cutting, speeches and into the dancing! He is more than a DJ, he was our rock.

Brian brings a unique energy to what ever he does. He knows what he is doing and what it is about. I am confident he will give you exactly what you are looking for, and not what everyone else thinks you have to have. He has done both mine and my sister's weddings and we recommend him to everyone we know because he sure knows how to throw a party!

Brian was great and helped us put together a unique and special night that we nor our friends and family with ever forget. Thanks Brian

Brian was very helpful in the planning process of our wedding and reception. He helped us to think of all the details necessary to make the day run smoothly.

Brian was a great part of our wedding. We met with him around November/December before our wedding and were always in contact. We had multiple phone calls to plan our wedding and helping Brian to see our vision. It may seem like too much at times, but our guests had a blast and commented on how great the DJ was so for us, that meant it was worth the extra planning.

Brian was a very valuable asset for us during the planning process. I found his suggestions and advice extremely helpful in shaping our wedding day. When you talk to Brian, you can tell that he is extremely passionate about what he does. Our wedding day went very smoothly, and I would give Brian most of the credit for that due to his seamless performance. Especially if you have a group of people that are hard to excite, Brian will find a way to get them all involved and on the dance floor. Brian may come off as pushy and maybe slightly arrogant when you first talk to him, but that's only because he is unbelievably passionate about what he does and he truly wants to help make your wedding stress-free and memorable. Please don't let this bother you, the more you interact with Brian the more you will understand his passion and interest in your wedding day.

Brian provided a great time for all our guests to enjoy. People not only danced the first few dances but every song played had a good size group of couples dancing. He also kept things moving in a timely fashion. I feel it was money well spent.

Brian was helpful, attentive, and responsive during the whole planning process. Brian's biggest asset is the planning and preparation that he puts into the reception. He cares about his performance and the results, which is evident. The dancefloor was packed during the reception and we are grateful that Brian was apart of our day.

Upbeat, kept the party going!!

Brian is hands down the best DJ out there. He is not only a DJ but he is a wedding planner also. He is very detailed oriented and knows what he is doing. If you are looking to hire someone and have them show up and do their thing and go, then Brian is not the guy that you are looking for. Actually, he might be, I bet he could do that pretty well, but you would be missing out on all his creativity and passion for making a perfect wedding...in whatever that means to you. We met with Brian a few times, and talked on the phone with him many more. We live is the Chicago land area and he lived in Madison Wisconsin, so there was some space between is, and it didn’t seem like that at all. There were a bunch of little surprises along the way that my bride and I were doing for each other and he handled them all very smoothly and they all worked out perfectly. One thing that I liked the most was that he never told us no. He would give advice on how to make things better but there was never a moment that he said he couldn’t do that, or that he didn’t think that was a good idea. Our wedding was a mix of traditional and unorthodox. We had the look of a traditional wedding with all the bells a whistles, but we kinda flipped that on its head. Brian was there and excited to help us make it personal. The music was the best. We gave a list of songs that we wanted to be played, and a few that we didn’t. Then from him getting to know us and talking he did a fantastic job. I recommend Brian 100% and hope that the next wedding I go, he will be the one behind the microphone.

Brian was outstanding. Very courteous, respectful, professional and worth every single penny spent on his services. I would eagerly recommend him to anyone needing an event. Amazing job!!

Brian did an awesome job of visualizing the event and the final result
was spectacular.

Brian was a great dj, especially the day of. He has very high standards which were a little exhausting during the planning process, but his work pays off on the wedding day. I would recommend Brian to another bride, but would warn her about the possibility of getting overwhelmed with details beforehand.

Overall it was a great experience. Alot of planning! I really appreciate all the time you put into our wedding. My only conern was the time line....the detail of it. I liked how we just let it happen when it happened..now worries. Everyone had a fantastic time! Thank you

Brian was very helpful in creating a wedding that was very unique and exactly what we wanted. His excitement, attention to detail and passion was felt throughout the reception. We had a number of guests that said it was the "best wedding ever", "it was the most unique wedding", or even "me and my husband are getting married again and we will do it this way".

My suggestion would be to book Brian as early as possible in your planning process. He is very good at coordinating with your other vendors to make sure everything runs smoothly the day of your event. But, he also has great ideas that come in handy when choosing a venue, caterer, etc.

Brian will also make sure that you are holding up your end of the bargain as well. His experience over the years has lead to some great unique ideas for every aspect from planning, decorating, ceremony, fun reception ideas. Once you decide which of these ideas you want to implement, he will make sure you take the necessary steps to make them something you'll remember forever.

Thanks Brian for your hard work and good luck to anyone reading this!

Brian is the ultra professional who will bend over backward to ensure your big day is everything you want it to be. The service he provides is second to none. My wife and I, our family, and our friends are still buzzing about our wedding day. And believe me, Brian played a significant role. He was complimented many times throughout the night by our guests. What sets Brian apart is his genuine demeanor from the very first phone call to your wedding day. I would highly recommend Brian as a Master Wedding Planner to anyone looking for a professional who always has your best interest in mind and delivers extraordinary results.

If you want a cookie cutter wedding reception, Brian is probably not your guy.
Brian is not just a DJ – Brian is so much more!
Brian strives to give you a wedding reception that is unique and personalized by offering great ideas from weddings that he has already serviced, along with listening to your ideas, getting to know you, and by coming up with new ideas that will showcase the uniqueness of your own personalities. You will meet with Brian several times before your wedding day. Brian wants to 'know' you, not just work for you.
By the time the big day comes, he’s not just providing a service for you; he is a friend at your wedding.
We have 3 children and have had the privilege of Brian performing his services at 2 of our children’s weddings, and we will definitely be contacting him when the time comes for our 3rd.
We have had so many of our guests and family members express that our children’s weddings were the best weddings they have ever been to.
If that’s the outcome you are looking for – Call Brian!!

Brian is extremely attentive to detail and truly wants to make your day as special and individual to you as you want. You will be expected to be a full partner (your immediate family's feedback will be required as well) in planning, but your experience will be personalized to your specifications by Brian. He doesn't just 'play music', any DJ can do that, he creates an evening of fun, and your guests will be entertained and engaged as well as enjoy dancing and activities you pick. Our dance floor was packed (over packed!) from start to finish. You get out what you put in, and Brian gives you every opportunity to maximize his service and have an evening no one at your wedding reception will ever forget. People have told us our son's wedding was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. Guests are an important ingredient obviously (ours just happened to be tons of fun-loving people), but your Master of Ceremonies Brian has a LOT to do with it. We were pleasantly surprised at how well the evening went and how much fun we all had.

Brian does a wonderful job and it is evident that he is passionate about what he does. We had so many compliments after our wedding reception and we are so happy we decided to work with Brian to make our reception exactly what we wanted!!!

Brian is a great person to work with, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make your vision come to life. He helped us come up with creative ideas, and made sure that every detail was considered. On the day of the wedding, we didn't want to worry about how the reception was going to run, and Brian did an excellent job of keeping events flowing and playing all of the music we wanted. I didn't have to stress over anything!

Brian did a fantastic job on short notice for our wedding entertainment. He helped plan our entire evening and it was a huge success! 8 months later, I'm still getting compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had.

Great to work with. Definitely helped make our wedding reception go smoothly. Worked well with the guests...the dance floor was packed all night!

Brian Kelm not only provided us with quality service but he helped our night to be a night we will never forget, nor will our guests. Brian told us that the day after our wedding we would get phone calls from our guests stating how much fun they had- he was wrong, it only took 1 hour after the reception ended for the phone calls to start. Our wedding was over a year ago and our friends and family still talk about how much fun it was and how it was uncomparable to other receptions they have been to.

From my father the day after the wedding- (father of bride) 'I was not happy when I found out you hired a DJ from so far away and for so much money, but I need to tell you I'm sorry. Brian was worth every penny and I can't imagine what the reception would have been like without him there.'

Our wedding reception was a blast! We had family and friends dancing all night long, even our grandparents and great aunts and uncles. Thank you Brian for all of your work and dedication to help make our wedding reception an success and a wonderful memory.

Brian is a perfect ten out of ten when it comes to giving you the best wedding possible. He is full of ideas and insights that will make your wedding one to remember. He was a pleasure to work with, and we recommend him to all our friends!! Our wedding is still talked about and how detailed and complete everything was. Ultimately, we have people comment on how fun our wedding was and that they have never experienced a wedding of that calibur.

I would not have changed a thing!

We were looking for a DJ and what we found was an amazing guy with a sincere passion for entertaining. He was a wedding planner, vendor coordinator, and entertainment specialists all in one. He made numerous trips to our home and wedding location to meet with us and make sure everything was how we wanted and would go as planned. He offered hundreds of fantastic ideas and different approaches on how to make the day ours, not something cookie cutter like we have been to before. By the time the wedding day came, I could relax knowing that every detail was set and all we had to do was enjoy the day. I would have paid double for the experience we got from Brian. I have since recommended him to numerous other people for weddings and corporate events and have had tremendous feedback. People can't get enough of Brian. And we still have people talking about our wedding to this day, telling us how smooth it went and how much fun they all had. 85% of it was because of Brian. Look no further, you have found the best.

Brian was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Extremely professional, organized, and talented. Guests are still talking about how fun the reception was 3 years later.

Brian Kelm was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are searching for new or creative ideas for your wedding, than Brian is the right choice. He is professional and responsive to your requests. We never were concerned the day of our wedding, we knew we and our guests were in good hands. Years later our family and friends still talk about our beautiful wedding and the great entertainment.

He was by far the best investment we made for our wedding! He was with us planning from day one and helped with every little detail. He came up with unique ideas to get people of different ages involved in our wedding and reception. He contacted each member of our bridal party personally to introduce himself and let them know what they should expect. He wrote up a very detailed wedding timeline and actually stuck to it, this helped us tremendously so we didn't have to write one up. If you want to keep your guests at your reception and you don't want them to leave, you want Brian Kelm!

I was most impressed with Brian's dedication and the time he spent with us. He made our wedding more than we could have ever asked for!! Of all the things that people remember from our wedding, Brian's professionalism and fun going services are always top on thier list! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great time!

Working with Brian was wonderful. He meet with us repeatedly prior to our wedding to ensure our wedding reception went perfectly. He did a superb just as MC/DJ. He might be more expensive than other DJ's out there but the amount of planning and effort he put forth made it all worth it. Highly recommend!

Brian is interested in providing a massive amount of value to his clients. Our guests were very pleased with his personalized service, the customized playlist dictated by the guests, and the atmosphere he created. He is very easy to get along with, and will make sure your wedding is all you want it to be and more!

The single most important expense at a wedding is the DJ, it can make or break the wedding. I highly recommend Brian, I used him for my wedding and have recommended him to a number of my friends who have used him.

In the last 4 years I have been to about 6 weddings, 3 of which used Brian Kelm as their DJ. There is such a huge difference in the quality of the reception between a "Brian Wedding" and a "Non-Brian Wedding." The weddings that didn't use Brian only had a fraction of the people on the dance floor and the rest were looking bored. For future brides- if there's one element you're going to invest in for your wedding, make it the entertainment- it's what everyone remembers!

Brian did an excellent job with our wedding and we would recommend him to anyone. He was organized, punctual and professional, as well as fun and friendly.

Brian helped us make sure our wedding was planned perfect. He helped with situations that might occur that we had not thought of, he helped make sure all of our vendors were on the same page we were and always had an awesome attitude. I had a personal request, I really didn't like a certain type of music and I had told him that. Someone requested a song from this genre and before he played it he asked if it was with me. This I appreciated because it showed he listened and somehow remembered my request. Brian is great and I would recommend him to anyone

Has guests entertained the whole time. You will not see the dance floor empty at any time during the reception of you wedding. Adjusts greatly to needs and wants of the client through the time providing service.

Brian was the DJ at my wedding almost 10 years ago. I would have to say that over all he did a very good job. He kept people on the dance floor all night long.
