Big Bill Entertainment provided a Photo Booth for a team banquet. It was the perfect addition of fun and provided silly memories for the girls to take home. Their price was the best, and they gave us unlimited photos, which was fantastic. Brett was the attendant who set up the photo booth and we had a lot of fun with him. He was professional, courteous, and just overall kind!! 10 out of 10!!!! More...

I’ve thought long and hard about how to review Bill’s performance — clearly, this isn’t an easy review. Om the positive side, he was always very punctual and friendly with communication. I was never waiting for him to answer a question beyond a few hours. He also has several services to provide, including lighting. We were pleased with the lighting and A/V setup. However, I have to admit that I was very disappointed in Bill’s performance as a wedding DJ. His intake form asks for “please play” and “please don’t play” songs. We took requests from guests and just sent everything in a list. I specifically stated in writing that our “please play” was not to be played in order, since these were dance song requests from our guests. Instead. Bill just played the whole list in its exact order, from front to back, which left our guests at a formal wedding eating short ribs while listening to Chingy. I left my table to advise Bill again that the list wasn’t exclusive and shouldn’t be played in order. He made no changes. He also wasn’t concerned that the bride was asking him to make a change. Bill played our first dance, father daughter dance, and my husbands dance with his mom on time and correctly. I’m severely disappointed that he thought “365” was a good dinner song. As a professional, I would have expected a lot more crowd awareness. This was a lower performance than expected but not out of the ordinary. I’m grateful for everything that went right, but regret this choice in retrospect. More...

I found Bill through thumbtack for my daughter’s first birthday. He was excellent —took recommendations, had a great pay list, was punctual and very nice. He also helped facilitate the flow of events of announcing last call and a group happy birthday . I’d recommend Bill to anyone and would use him again! More...

Bill DJ’ed my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party that was held at a unique venue. Bill coordinated well with the venue and announcements as well as the team of people helping me pull of the surprise. He fulfilled all planning requests made prior to the event, he helped guide guests to important areas of the venue to accommodate rolling celebratory timeline, and fulfilled all guest requests for unique music. Very kind and great to work with. Would be happy to work with Bill again in the future! More...

My partner and I were hoping for a better experience based on Big Bill’s great reviews, but unfortunately we were left quite disappointed during our wedding reception. We want to begin with what we appreciated about Bill. He was very friendly and accommodating to our music preferences. He also coordinated well with the vendor which was very helpful for us. Bill’s DJing during the cocktail hour went well - we had provided him a list of music we wanted played (he was very amenable to this during our planning call) and transitioned well into his own playlist once our songs ended. The trouble began during the reception. We had provided Bill with a first dance song, father/daughter dance song, and mother/groom dance song weeks before the reception. My husband and I waited in the center of the dance floor in awkward silence for minutes while Bill tried to locate the name of our song. Next, my father and I waited in silence for Bill to find our song, only for him to play the incorrect song. My husband had to run over to him and help him find the correct song. Fortunately, he got the song right for the mother/groom dance. We had also asked Bill to only play one slow dance song, he played two. Lastly, the transitions between songs were surprisingly disjointed. One song did not flow nicely into another, but there was awkward silence in between songs. I was also disappointed that Bill never apologized for the mistakes during the first dance and father/daughter dance. Overall, we were quite disappointed in our experience with Big Bill. More...

I really enjoyed working with Bill! We were looking for a DJ for our wedding and we had a really quirky playlist of oldies, international music (some French and Italian, even a Filipino song), top 40, meme-y music (Man in finance), Bill had it all in his library and I never had to worry about a thing. We also had our own MP3 that we used for our first dance, Bill could also work with that. All the equipments such as wireless mics, loud speakers, dance floor lights worked well. Bill took the time to sit down and talk through the plan with us, he also has a great DJ voice. I highly recommend Bill for your events. More...

Big Bill Entertainment hosted our annual Christmas Party 2023. Bill had a large selection of music to choose from and he was very responsive to Song Request. Once the dancing started, he kept us moving and lively with crowd appropriate song choices. I would recommend Big Bill. They were on time and ready to play before anyone even arrived. Thank you!

I am surprised that my experience is so different. Big Bill came in and had demanded our guests help him with his equipment. I worked as a Banquet Hall Manager for 7 years and I have never had been asked, let alone our guests, to help unload equipment. I requested a metal song because I have been a metal fan my whole life. I went out to enjoy the song and have my moment on my day and Big Bill made snide comments on the mic about “this is how you want to remember this day? And calling it weird. I was so embarrassed I sat down for a while and didn’t dance. I was nervous to approach him about the cake cutting. He was needlessly gruff with me. I was not returning his hostility in any way and apologized multiple times. Many of my guests also commented on his attitude. We also never received the thumb drive from our Photo Booth. We tipped him well and I honestly feel he was the only thing that upset me on my otherwise beautiful wedding day. I apologize I am not trying to hurt anyone’s business. You have plenty of good reviews but I needed to express my frustration for my experience. More...

Bill was really great!! On time, organized, professional and really great with teens. One thing that stands out is his willingness and ability to take in the moment song requests, which not a lot of DJs can do and this is for sure a crowd must! !!! We also booked the Photo Booth through Bill and it was equally amazing did not disappoint. Will book again!!! More...

My son hired Big Bill on June 12th. My fiancee went up twice and asked that he play a song that we and our friends like . Popular song that we learned to dance to at our dance classes . He had the nerve to tell him, “Your all done”, meaning no more requests. So glad we didn’t book him . More...

Brett was our DJ. He played the music from my daughter’s play list and fit right in with our family. We had a great time. Many folks ended up not coming, dancing was limited, it was hot, but we all sang along and bebopped around while reconnecting with some family from other states. The photo booth was a hit too! Price was right and the whole experience was easy. Just how I like it! Thank you! Will be our go to DJ from now on! More...

We had Big Bill dj at our wedding a month ago and have since heard a few negative comments about how he treated our guests when they requested songs, being rude and dismissive. I was also receiving texts from him the morning of while trying to get ready, looking for information i had already emailed in advance. And then our intro song got messed up as well when we entered the reception room. Been debating this review for a while, but we did spend a lot of money and our experience with him didn’t live up to our expectations. More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
Keep playing what got them up in the first place. Play their requests!!!!! Be accommodating!
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Fun, energetic, lively, ACCOMMODATING! Willing to be silly if it makes people happy!
What makes photo booths such a great alternative to traditional photographers?
The awesome props I provide, the fact they can have their very own photo memento of the party they attended. THEY dictate WHEN they have their photo(s) taken and they usually look nicer.!
What photo booth props do you offer?
Dozens of funny hats and glasses of all shapes and sizes, wigs, boas, leis, helmets, masks, you name it!
What do you love most about your job?
That I can help a roomful of strangers, have a GREAT time listening and dancing to music I play and that they request!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was in stand up comedy and pretty successful, traveling the country. When i found out I was going to be a dad, I stopped. I didn't want to be like the father in Harry Chapin's "Cat's In The Cradle". When my kids were in elementary school, I took them to a family dance and the dj SUCKED! No personality or interaction. I volunteered for the next dance, used my lifelong collection of music, bought a state of the art sound system and did the next dance. The response was amazing! My Dj career took off.
Why should our clients choose you?
I want YOU and your guests to have a GREAT time. Every function I do is an audition for all of the guests. No one can match my music and karaoke collection, or my personality, caring , and love of music.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, I am an in person dj/photobooth provider. There is no way to adequately provide my services remotely.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I wear a mask and wipe down my equipment. I also stay 6 feet from them. With my photobooth, I disinfect the props in between use.
