If you have something bad to say about B&B i feel like you have to be either super picky or some thing really really wrong happened. I was nervous never having booked a DJ before or even holding a major party. But from the start, Rick communicated very well and I loved the energy he had. I was scared if we didn't have Rick that things wouldn't go smoothly since I was intimately, giving him of what we were looking for, but the people we got KILLED IT. I sent about seven hours worth of music for a very long wedding venue. And included wedding games and plans for family involvement. Everything I heard throughout the night was nothing but amazing feedback how the DJ played songs at just the right times he was announcing to get people involved and keep the party moving. We naturally have a very party oriented family, but they felt the energy was kept throughout the whole night and the songs that were chosen really fit with the flow of the night. They were very timely. Very organized checked in with us before we set everything in motion and followed exactly what we had discussed on the phone prior. I have never attended or planned a wedding so I relied on them a lot for the order of the reception and they completely nailed it...made it fun and made everything intimate even for people they had never met before. thank you guys so much for an amazing time. I truly understand why so many people choose them for their events. read more

If you want any sanity, do not book. I had 0 problems with any other vendor and this was my most difficult one. On my first consult call with Rick he asked me to switch my wedding date so that he could be the one that was DJing instead of sending someone else. It then later turned into him telling me that the order of my dances and speeches for the reception were wrong. He also told me that we did not need a mic for the ceremony even though it was recommended by the venue and coordinator and questioned it several times after. He made my day of coordinator cry because of how rude and disrespectful he was. During the day when he was talking with the professionals he met them with a raised voiced and pointed fingers. When confronted about his actions the day after, he took no accountability and completely misplaced the blame and threw it back on everyone else. The only reason why the dancing and reception were a hit was because I gave him the entire playlist, it was not his own work. So kudos to me. If you want a great playlist reach out to me, not him. read more

I met Rick at a wedding expo over a year before my wedding, and he immediately stood out as fun, personable, and experienced. He mentioned that he was the DJ and his son ran the photo booth -- the father-son duo actually helped sell me on booking him. Leading up to the wedding, everything went smoothly. About a week before, Rick confirmed there would be two DJs and two photo booth attendants, and I specifically confirmed that he would be one of the DJs. He said yes. On the day of my wedding, I was running a few minutes behind for our reception entrances, so I created a group chat with my coordinators, photographer, and Rick to let everyone know. Instead of responding, Rick removed himself from the chat completely, which immediately worried me. When it came time for entrances, I was shocked to learn that my DJ wasn't Rick -- it was someone named Leif, whom I met literally two minutes before walking in. No prior notice, and no explanation until after our wedding day. Rick did let us know after our wedding, that he did have a medical emergency. Which we are glad to hear he is doing better. To his credit, Leaf did a great job under the circumstances and kept the night running smoothly. read more

Rick did my son's wedding, He was helpful throughout the whole process and on the night of the wedding got everyone up and dancing. He was a lot of fun engaging our guests. I would highly recommend B and B Light and Sound DJ's for all your music needs read more

It's interesting that there are so few negative reviews for B&B. And Rick himself comments on all of them. Seems like he's gone to great lengths to filter out the bad ones. My wedding was more than a few years ago, but I'm still a little salty about my DJ experience. Positives: We asked for a very specific list of songs to be played and they played only what was on the list. Great. Our DJ kept things moving along nicely. They also cut out a kind of weird, short segment of a song for me that would've been awkward to play at a wedding, as requested. Negatives: I had read several reviews saying they were expecting Rick and made to believe Rick would be their on the wedding day, and then someone else showed up to DJ. I went with him anyway, and like many others, had some stranger show up to DJ our wedding. I wouldn't have minded so much if I knew more than one day in advance. Rick did call the day before and say he was sick, but based on other reviews, who knows if that was accurate or just how he typically handles things. Also, our DJ showed up looking like he just in a bar fight. I'm not sure what happened, but his face was all banged up with several cuts. Not a great look for a wedding. Right before we went in for the reception, he gave a quick run down of what to expect and had our list of songs in hand with "Play the F***ing list" written on it in black sharpie. I mean, that's what we wanted, but it seemed pretty unprofessional. Maybe I was crushing his DJ creativity, but I specifically requested certain songs. We had a fun night overall. And it makes for some funny stories to tell people, I guess, but I expected a little more professionalism and I wish Rick had been upfront about the fact that he does not DJ all of his weddings, even though he leads you to believe he'll be working yours. read more

We had a blast with Rick. He made sure all music that we specifically requested was played. He found our obscure songs that we requested for different recessionals. He worked with officiant and singer on the day of our wedding without our need to supervise (as we were off trying to get pictures taken). He is a character, in a good way. He read the crowd and played music to what they were into. Just enough pop songs to make us appear hip and with-it. We had a great experience and would recommend him to others. read more

If you pay in cash to have the time extended, get a Signed receipt to avoid any problems later. Bad ending to an otherwise great wedding. read more

I used this company as a DJ for my wedding. I have absolutely no complaints. There is a sheet you fill out beforehand and send in along with some song suggestions/things you want to hear/things you don't want to hear. They called me prior to the wedding to confirm everything which I found helpful. During the actual reception he read the atmosphere like a pro. It flowed really well and he took requests, remained professional and stayed until the very end. He even handled my very rowdy and large wedding party to get them all in order for the introduction. I would highly recommend!! Book them today!!!! read more

My daughter booked this company and the DJ's name was Dennis. I've been to many weddings and this was the best DJ ever! He was helpful, funny, professional and played requests. Some DJ's act like prima donnas and ignore requests. But not here! It made for a really fun night!!!! I would definitely recommend this company!!! A +++ service! read more

I used this company for my photo booth and it was way overpriced and I did not get what I was told I would get in the end. When I booked the photo booth I told Rick the owner that there would be a lot of kids at the reception. never once did he tell me that the booth would not be a good fit for kids. everyone seemed to have a good time with the booth but when we got a chance to go through the flash drive of all the pictures and the video messages, we found that most of the pics were the tops of kids heads and the video messages the only thing you could hear was the pictures printing. I am very disappointed and have to say that even after contacting Mr. Bean about my disappointment I was even more upset because he refused to take any responsibility for not communicating with me about the kids in the photo booth and of course it was the people in the booth's fault that I can not hear them because they needed to speak up. Seriously would not recommend this company for a photo booth, According to Rick the reason he has the booth is so that people will drink at your reception/party and get in a leave crazy messages and make A$$es of themselves. read more

This was the most unprofessional DJ that you could imagine. They had the nerve to come up to me 1 hour before the wedding and demand a $150 fee be paid because they forgot to charge me for it. They also played the wrong song when my wife was walking down the isle. We filled out a music suggestion list before hand and they brought none of the music. Their suggestion was that we plug our phones into the speakers so they can play it... No, I'm not joking. I couldn't imagine anything worse. They ruined our day and we will forever regret using them. read more

Overall view: Super stressful to work with. We were very disappointed in the way we were treated by B&B Light and Sound. After reading the reviews and talking with Rick, I really thought they would be a great DJ company to hire. But after our experience, I would not recommend B&B to any of my friends. The Good: They showed up on time, they played the right music at the ceremony, and they played decent music at the reception. The Bad: The only reason we booked B&B was due to a friend of ours knowing the one DJ Ben. From the start, we had been clear on what we wanted. A bohemian outdoor wedding at Cameron Estate's Donegal Spring garden with Ben. We set the price and I got the papers to start specifying what songs we wanted. About a month before our wedding Rick called and told me he'd have to increase our price by $150. There was no negotiation at all. When I asked for his reasoning, he said he didn't realize that the wedding would be outside over a small bridge. And that he needs more money because there could be glares on his screen, and it would be so hard to set up. We had clearly told him what site it was when we set the contract up and he had told us he's done numerous weddings at our venue. Also, our wedding was an October wedding at 5:30PM under a bunch of trees. Every time I tried to bring any counter point up, he would shut it down and tell me how good of a price I was getting. For our ceremony, I had requested acoustic guitar songs. He continually asked me to purchase the music I wanted myself and to send it to him. He told me he had none of the music and no one else would ever want that music. I refused to pay for the music seeing as I was already paying him a lot. Then the day of the wedding, Ben does not show up. Instead two other DJs show up. Since we had seated dinners, we only had one meal for them. On top of that, the two DJs did not listen to our requests and were seen arguing with each other several times by my guests. read more

Whatever you do, stay away from B & B Light and Sound! It has taken me over 6 months to figure out how to put into words how angry and disappointed I am in our services with Rick Bean. It all started when he harassed me about having a friend suggest a DJ and not using his services. Once I told him I didn't appreciate what he said, he only would contact my husband. Although I had a bad feeling about it, we decided to hire Rick for the photo booth for our wedding. Against my best judgement, I really liked the video option where people could leave messages for the bride and groom. There were other, less expensive options but we decided to go with it. We decided to let our friends keep both copies that printed and we would just view and print the digitalis. The night of the wedding, everything seemed fine. We had two workers show up even though we were only scheduled for one. (Luckily we had a few guests not show up so I was able to feed both of them.) They seemed like just college students trying to make a few bucks, not wonderful but not awful. After my husband and I got back from our honeymoon, we decided to take a look at the flash drive from the photo booth. We were so excited... until we found out that there were only 6 pictures! Six pictures and not a single video! When we contacted Rick about our concern and asked if there was any way to get the pictures because they are irreplaceable for us, this was his response, "We were able to get into the booth over the weekend and try your flash drive. Unfortunately, we can't determine what went wrong. An act of God is what I would call it." An Act of God?! I couldn't believe this was the excuse he was going to use! He said that some of our family asked to take more pictures after the workers started transferring the pictures to the flash drive and that all pictures before then were deleted. I agree that the workers were being nice letting our family take a quick picture after the time they were paid to have it open, so I am not upset with them. This is how he responded to the situation, " It's like the guy who jumped in to save a drowning person but neither survived. The guy is still a hero." He told me just to ask guests to send me back the pictures they took because they still had a good time. We asked for some of our money back since we felt that we did not receive what was promised to us. He offered us $100 back and said, "You didn't get all of your copies and that's why I offered a small refund. I would take the refund Scott and be happy your guests still had a great time." Just the manner in which he acted in the situation was profoundly unprofessional. If you own a business, you should learn how to answer emails and phone calls in a professional manner. I really have never been so disgusted in my life. Not that any money back would return what was lost to us, but we felt that part of our contract was not fulfilled when we did not receive the digitals. I can't imagine a business based off of digital media would not back up the data from the night of people's weddings! For all of the money we spent, he could afford to buy some external hard drives. Instead of continuing the headache, we decided to let the jerk keep our money. Now all I can do is save future brides from making the same mistake I made. Stay away from Rick Bean! read more
