I spoke to A LOT of DJs at two of the bridal shows I went to in Charleston. I first met Burt and…read morehis wife, Nicole, at the Charleston Bridal Trolley Tour. It was amazing and their first year doing it, but I hope they can continue it for the future as I got to meet with a lot of great vendors and it was such a unique experience. But, back to hiring Burt...it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. When I think of the vendors that were over-the-top professional, I think of Burt and Finger Snappin'. I met with him a week before the wedding and we went through everything from start to finish--it was such a thorough meeting, I felt totally alleviated of any stress I might have had before. Basically, we all know, a DJ can make or break your wedding. I felt so confident in Burt after our meeting and just couldn't wait for our wedding day. He was so accommodating and helpful with all of the music choices, and we also had his photo booth services for our wedding, which our guests loved! On top of that, we got uplighting and a personalized light display with our names, and light show for when the crowd started dancing, that we loved. The uplights were a LIFESAVER, since our main lighting vendor was a no show. Yes, it was hard for me to believe, too, since lighting was one of the most important things to me in creating the ambiance I envisioned. Without Burt, I would have been completely letdown, but because of him, I could relax on the day of our wedding. He was just so professional and everything was set-up when he said it would be, he got the crowd to laugh, dance, and he did an amazing job of introducing our wedding party and ourselves. Also, my husband and I were on the fence of whether or not to do a bouquet and garter toss and after meeting with Burt, there was a genius idea that got EVERYONE on the floor to try to catch those things! I actually surprised my husband and didn't tell him we were indeed doing the garter toss until we were at the reception. It was a big hit and one of the most memorable aspects of the evening. Literally, all the men and women came up for the tosses!
I highly recommend Burt to those looking for a fun, professional Master of Ceremonies/DJ, that knows how to read a crowd, make sure guests are having fun, and lead the evening without being overbearing. It was like having the perfect narration to our evening, that helped set the tone and keep the pace of the evening going. Absolutely wonderful and so fun to work with! He is worth every penny--and it's true, your guests won't remember a lot of details of your wedding after, but they WILL remember the entertainment, so it's worth it to get the best!
p.s. During my meeting with Burt, as I named songs that were important to my husband and me, Burt would agree and then knew the very year the songs would be released. He is extremely knowledgeable in various types of music, passionate about what he does, and we feel so blessed to have had him for our wedding! Thank you, Burt!!
