From the moment we first spoke with the team at Bass & Bliss, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was easy and thorough, always making sure we felt informed and supported throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, their work was simply superb - they kept our dance floor rocking all night long, giving everyone a chance to get out and have fun. They were also incredibly thoughtful, allowing my husband and I plenty of time for our couples dances. On top of that, they even helped us navigate some family drama, showing their true professionalism. The quality of their work and value was truly super awesome and fun.

Music has always been an important part of my life. With over 12 years of experience in the wedding industry, I fell in love with music at a young age, and being a wedding DJ has allowed me to share my passion with my clients on the most important day of their lives. DJing started out as a hobby; I wanted to do more than just listen to music, so I learned creative ways to blend my favorite songs together from different artists and genres to form an experience.

Vic did a fantastic job! Vic was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire planning process of the wedding. He provided us with a detailed shared sheet to fill out which not only helped us communicate easily with him but also helped us figure out what needed to be done on the music end. During the wedding, everyone was dancing and the music was perfect. All of the songs we had requested beforehand were played, he played songs suggested by guests, and it was a great time. We definitely would recommend Vic to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Her musicianship is incredible, and she brings such a unique energy that elevates the entire experience. Rebecca’s personality is bright and bubbly and her style is just as standout. She was also more than happy to join client meetings, making sure every detail was aligned and that expectations were exceeded across the board. She’s a true team player who genuinely cares about delivering an exceptional client experience. I’ve worked with many violinists, and she’s the first where I immediately knew I wanted to collaborate again.

We get it, that's us too so let's get real. How important is music to you on what will no doubt be one of the most important celebrations of your life?

We provide you with a company that gets it. That gets you. Your musical tastes, your style, your vibe. Let's talk soon.

Roger & Katie were such a pleasure to work with during my wedding planning. I had 3 other DJs either ghost me or cancel on me and Faultline saved the day. My one request was to keep my guests entertained by keeping them dancing all night long. Roger far exceeded my expectations and I have had so many of my guests ask about our DJ. I see the other DJs cancelling on me as a blessing in disguise, because Faultline absolutely killed it at our wedding. Thank you, Faultine times a million!!!

DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!
