Modern Era Weddings - Pittsburgh's Best DJs, Video, & Lighting Professionals

Bill and his assistant Denise were AWESOME. They were such a pleasure to work with and on the wedding day were so flexible and professional and kept the dance floor packed all night. We had our dancing in separate location then where the dinner was served and was set up in both locations -- like he was in two places at once. We had so many comments on how great the music was and how much fun people had. I would highly recommend him.

I would recommend Bill Bara to any one looking for a DJ. He did an amazing job at our wedding! He had people on the dance floor all night long. He had so much energy, and looked like he was having just as much fun as we did! On top of everything else, he and Denise were very professional. Best DJ in Pittsburgh!

I cannot say enough about Bill Bara as our DJ. He created a perfect mix of dance club with class. Because he is still out there in the clubs he knows how to read a crowd and keep a dance floor packed. There was only about 30 seconds where I noticed anyone sit down from the dance floor, and he somehow spun right out of that song so quickly and smoothly that everyone was right back on the dance floor. He stayed put together a speaker loaded with music for out cocktail hours which was in a separate room. Then he stayed a full hour late and no one left the dance floor! The reception was supposed to end at 11PM but the captain of our venue staff told us the DJ could continue to play because everyone was still dancing. At 11:45PM the captain told me he never expected us to continue to party for so long, and he was going to have to ask the DJ to stop so they'd have enought time to prepare the room for the 8am brunch event they had the next morning! (and there was no alcohol being served after 11pm!) On top of that, Bill and Denise are so easy and fun to work with. They are so excited to work with their couples and really enjoy what they do. They are responsive and professional. They only played 1 song from my "do not play" list, but that was because my Maid-of-Honor requested it to make fun of me! Bill even accomodated last-second changes to our bridal party introductions because they wanted to suprise us! Choosing Bill Bara as our DJ was hands down the best decision we made in our entire planning process.

By far the best wedding DJ I have experienced! Countless guests have said truthfully that it was the best wedding they have been to, and Bill played a huge part in that. It was the most consistently packed dance floor I have seen at a wedding ever, of all ages. Our legs were cramped up the next day from dancing :-) His assistant Denise also made sure all of the formalities at the event ran smoothly, do not discount the value of that. Bill also really seemed to have fun, he was engaged with the crowd, and people took notice to that. It was a perfect night, can't recommend them enough.

Dj bill Bara and Denise are the two most wonderful people to work with they made my special day even more special they are amazing and i would recommend them to everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Bill was an awesome DJ for our wedding. His website is easy to use and he does everything to make sure you have a good time. Every engaged friend at my wedding has asked for his information because they want to book him. It was a blast!

All of my guests commented that they had the best time at the wedding and have never danced so much before. We actually ran a 1/2 hour past when the reception was supposed to end because nobody wanted to stop dancing. I am beyond happy with the services that Bill Bara provided. He not only played every song I had hoped to hear, including my 80's power hour, he also made a great DVD slideshow for my cocktail hour. Unlike other DJs, he does not have a per-hour rate or a limit on when and how long he will be there. He also spent an hour with me before the wedding to discuss what type of environment and feel I wanted on the dance floor. I honestly did not have to create a "do not play list" or ban any songs and basically told him to play what he thought would work well with the crowd. I did not leave the dance floor after the music started! If you want to have a great time at your wedding and not worry about cheesy music, book Bill Bara. You will not regret it!

Bill and Densie were awesome to work with. They made every single minute of our reception special without very much input from us. We picked a few of the important songs (entrance, father/daughter, mother/son dance) but they took care of the rest. The dance floor was packed the entire time and I still have people telling me how much fun they had. Many thanks to you guys, you are great and I would recommend you to anyone without hesitation.

Bill is a pleasure to work with! He responds to e-mail messages quickly and will find you any song that you want with no questions asked. He is very professional and up to date on the latest DJ technology. I got so many compliments of how great he was at the reception and I will reccommend him to other brides!

Bill is an awesome DJ!! For me, I knew that music would make or break the night, so I wanted a fun DJ who knew how to pick the right music so that people would dance all night. And he definitely delivered! He played nice background music for our cocktail hour and dinner, and then stepped it up to party music for the reception. I only gave him a few 'must play' songs so that he could play what he though was best for the crowd. He mixed up many different genres and everyone was dancing. I have received many compliments on him and everyone had a blast!

While planning, Bill was super easy to work with. We talked on the phone once or twice and emailed back and forth as well. His website lets you enter 'must play' and 'do not play' songs, which was very convenient. When we met in person for the first time, he was very personable and we got along great. It was so nice not having to worry about anything - I knew he would be great!

I definitely recommend him!

We highly recommend DJ Bill Bara! He was professional, easy to work with and kept the party going the whole time. He also provided a beautiful uplighting service of which we received many compliments. DJ Bill Bara and his assistant Denise were awesome!

DJ Bill Bara is the best! My husband and I are so happy that Bill was our wedding DJ. I found choosing the DJ to be one of the hardest decisions for the wedding, but after meeting with Bill we were put at ease.

We really wanted the feel of "dance club" music rather than "wedding music" and Bill definitely delivered! The majority of my husband's family was traveling from another country and we really wanted to incorporate music from his home country. Bill was so flexible and played all the top songs from the US and from my husband's country.

Bill allows you to basically request all the music you want ahead of time through his website. I felt like the wedding was my own personal club playing all my favorite music.

He also provided awesome lighting on the dance floor. And, Denise works with him. She is super organized and there every step of the way if you need her.

Very professional. No disappointments. Highly recommend. He will play the style that you want.

Make sure you give everything (money bag, etc) to Bill before the wedding so that he doesnt have to attempt to find it during the reception!

I'd highly recommend using Modern Era Weddings in conjunction with Bill's DJ services. They work well together and you know you can trust them!

DJ Bill Bara did our music for our wedding ceremony and our reception, he was wonderful! We had only given him what we wanted to be played for our song and the father daughter dance and the rest he came up with! Everything was perfect and he played a great variety of music that everyone loved.We would definitly recommend him to anyone looking for a good DJ!

awesome dj, everyone loved his music choices, asked us throughout night if we wanted anything in particular, played our requests immediately. Very professional and took charge of coordinating entire reception events. would definitely recommend his for any occasion.

Bill and Denise were amazing to work with and was so happy that I chose them as my dj for my special day! He was very out going and Denise was very helpful with everything else. I have strongly recommended him to other bride to and my friends that are getting married! He was into everything and had all my requests down pact. He was amazing and I couldn't thank Bill and Denise enough for everything they did for my special day. Thanks Bill and Denise!

Really impressed with how Bill kept all of our guests dancing the entire night. Played all of the music we wanted to hear. Very pleased with how the wedding turned out.

Bill,

You guys did a great job. We really had a wonderful time. Take care.

Sorry it has taken me so long to complete this. I can't begin to tell you how many people commented on how great you were. You truly made the dance floor the place to be! My pictures proove it! There is never moment where the floor cleared! I thoroughly enjoyed your services and would not hesistate to reccommend you to family, friends, complete strangers!

Bill acted as our dj for our wedding, and he turned out to be the glue that held everything together and made it work beautifully! Bill put together the entire evening with little direction from me and I'm so glad that I did not rack my brain trying to come up with my own list of songs to be played all night! He played the perfect blend of music that had absolutely everyone, even those that never give in to dancing, on the dance floor having an amazing time! We were envisioning a younger dj to handle our wedding, rather than the usual old guys, and I'm so glad that we stayed away from the others. And the fact that he doesn't charge for overtime turned out to be an awesome perk because I didn't have to worry about what time it was so that I wouldn't get hit with OT fees. To this day I have absolutely no idea what time our reception actually ended at! Bill was so easy to work with and so helpful. He was truly a dream vendor that helped to create a perfect wedding for us!

DJ Bill Bara was fantastic! He played all of the music we requested and just did an overall great job. Highly recommend for your special day!

We LOVED DJ Bill Bara. My husband and I went to 17 Weddings together in the two years we dated and none of the Wedding DJ's even came close to how fantastic DJ Bill was for our Wedding. We had so many compliments that we had one of the best rocking and packed dance floors ever. He never let anyone get bored and he wasn't on the microphone trying to control the crowd all night, he did it with his music. We loved that we could pick our music that we wanted and didn't want played and he stuck to it. People would request songs and he checked to make sure they were on the playlist or do not play list. One of my big reasons we picked Bill was that he DJ's in clubs so he's current with music and he can mix in other songs so you don't get bored with anything. Him and Denise from the minute we met them were nothing but professional. They gave us peace of mind knowing that our reception was going to be handled well and no worries. He played anything from top 20 to motown to some slow country to top dance songs. The dance floor was always packed. He made our Wedding so special and kept the dance party going until the very end. If you pick DJ Bill Bara for your Wedding you will not be disappointed, I have to say he's the BEST Wedding DJ in Pittsburgh!!!
Thanks Bill and Denise!

DJ Bill Bara ROCKS!

Technically perfect, great equipment. Lighting was beautiful, and he plays classic dance music and some fun unconventional stuff.

Bill Bara is the best wedding DJ I have worked with thus far. He is fun, outgoing, and will inject an enormous amount of fun into any party. He takes a very personal approach with his clients, getting to know what they really want for the day. How do I know this? We also hired him for OUR wedding. If you are looking for someone to play what you want to hear, and to keep the dance floor packed the entire night, contact Bill!

If your looking for a DJ that can bring his A game night after night with no exceptions Bill Bara is your DJ

We've worked with DJ Bill Bara several times and he's absolutely the best! Creative, talented, professional and really knows how to keep the party going. We recommend him to all of our clients!
