Kevin was incredibly professional, organized, and responsive. He happily learned the songs that we requested for our wedding ceremony (I Choose You by Sara Bareilles, Boom Clap by Charli XCX, and Dawn from the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack) and they came out beautifully! He played for 30 minutes prior to our ceremony start time to keep our guests entertained. I got to overhear a bit of it as we returned from pre-ceremony photos and the music was absolutely enchanting! He also played for our processional and recessional. It was so fun to have live music! Kevin also played a fantastic medley for our cocktail hour. He played classics and well as piano covers of pop songs. I'm quite the Taylor Swift lover and he made sure to incorporate lots of TSwift songs for me :) I would highly recommend working with Kevin! Not only is he very talented, but he was very easy to work with, which is super helpful when you're planning a wedding!

I recently hired Chawn Lemons to DJ my wedding. He was marvelous!…read more Chawn, better known as DJ Tempest, has over 20 years of mobile DJ experience. I have heard him DJ a lot in the past so I had no doubt in my mind that he would do a great job at my wedding. He arrived three hours early in order to make sure that all the DJ equipment was set up, working properly and ready to go before my guests arrived. Once he was done setting up he changed clothes & was dressed in a suit. I was impressed. "Looking sharp Tempest!" I said to him as my groomsman and I were walking around the property and taking pre-ceremony pictures with the photographer. Once the ceremony got underway DJ Tempest began to play the music. From ceremony up until dinner time he played fun upbeat music for my guests as they mingled. Once it was time for dinner he played some mellow, classic songs that everyone could relax & enjoy while eating dinner. I had sent him a request list a week in advance and he played all of the song requests that I asked for. Once it was time for the first dance and all of the important songs, he delivered. He Dj'd and MC'd a little when needed, everything went smoothly and as planned. There was no hiccups and he kept the party going until the very end of the night. Thank you DJ Tempest for doing such a great job. Kelly and I couldn't be happier. Five stars baby.

Thank you so much Chawn, you made the wedding so much fun!!!!

My husband and I got married in April in Santa Barbara and hired the Big Day Players to play our…read morereception. Being a little wary of wedding bands, we had seen these guys play and they were our first (and only) band choice. If they hadn't been available we would likely have resorted to a DJ. We seriously can't describe how blown away we were by their breadth of music, high-energy stage presence, and talent as musicians. We were and still are getting many comments from guests about how amazing their performance was! From the minute they started to the final song of their set-list, the Big Day Players truly rocked it and turned our reception into a full-out dance party we'll never forget! From Tom Petty, Springsteen and the Stones, to Prince and Michael Jackson, all the way through to Bruno Mars, Talking Heads and Foster the People, the Big Day Players delivered impeccably and with style. They already had a pretty large list of songs in their repertoire and they were willing to learn several new songs to make the evening extra special for us (including the Groom/Mother dance). The band visited the venue with us a few weeks before the wedding to ensure they would have all the right equipment and be prepared on the big day. They handled the equipment rentals and set everything up themselves, arrived on time to set up and sound check, and were ready for showtime dressed to the nines. In addition to their day-of professionalism, the guys were truly fun to work with in the months prior to the wedding. We highly recommend the Big Day Players to any couples looking to have a rocking reception!

Since this was our first client event, we wanted it to be incredible and have that "wow" factor. Big Day Players definitely delivered. They did an acoustic set for the welcome reception and the full band rocked the house on the second night for the closing celebration. They were energetic and kept the crowd engaged. In all my years of event planning, Big Day Players is by far one of the best bands I have ever booked. Am definitely going to have them do our future events as well and would recommend them to anyone. If you are looking for an awesome band for your event, you have to book them!

They also played a lovely assortment of pop and jazz and some special requests for our guests while they waited for our photos to be taken. The Prayer and Wonderful World were especially beautiful.
