What Clients Say

We just booked Howard for my mom's 50th birthday, that was disco themed! All guests were encouraged to wear some 1970s outfits, and even Howard dressed up! He went above and beyond to play the right music, really giving us the Studio 54 experience. If you want a DJ that's going to keep your party going, book Howard! You won't be disappointed!!

Birthday Party

Howard was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He was extremely professional and took time out of his day to meet with us in person to go over any questions we had. He was very communicative and kept the party going! He created a mashup of songs for our first dance, showcasing his skills, and his willingness to go above and beyond! Thank you DJ Big Daddy!

DJ Bigdaddy was who we used for our wedding and reception. He was extremely personable and made the planning part stress free. My wife and I took quite a long time to complete the paperwork for all of the music we wanted for different parts of the night, we were never rushed or pressured. The day of the event Bigdaddy was there early, made contact with me and my wife, the venue staff and the officiant to ensure everything went smooth, it did. The equipment used was great and there was no issues with the microphones or speakers. I would give him a 10/10 and would absolutely recommend you use him as well!

We are so happy that we found Bigdaddy DJ. He is so easy to work with and so skilled at putting together the perfect playlist that we never had to worry about any part of the entertainment for our daughter's wedding. Howard went above and beyond when he met with us to discuss plans. The music he put together was perfect for us and everyone had a blast. Thanks again Howard for a wonderful time!!

Awesome, fun DJ! I would definitely recommend DJ Big Daddy for any of your events! While DJ'ing his wife took pics (like 200 pics) that were better than our dang photographer! What my photographer missed she got and that just made the extra touch!! They genuinely care about your day and that quality now-a-days is almost impossible to find!!

Before we decided we interviewed several DJs. Big Daddy came up to our city for a meet n greet. We discussed what we wanted and he catered to us exactly like we had planned. The day of our event he showed up early, set up, and did a great job! In addition his wife took pictures and provided us with many photos our photographers didn't get. He was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone.

We cannot say enough great things about Howard! He is an incredible DJ who from the beginning made the day about us and our vision for our wedding music and reception. He was so flexible and helped with any announcements we needed to make our day go smoothly. Him and his wife are such a delight! We would highly recommend him for your wedding or event!

Howard is Incredible!

Howard rocked the dance floor all night for our wedding. Constantly kept the crowd engaged and going and even dismissed tables for dinner! He was super easy to work with and always quick to respond with anything we needed from him!

Alyssa — Amazing Service! Highly Recommended!

Wedding

DJ BigDaddyHD was amazing! We booked him about a month out from our wedding. He was so responsive, went with the flow and played the perfect music with very little direction from us, other than the type of genres we liked. He made the evening so fun, and all of our guests commented on how great he was after the reception. He even put together a mashup of songs for my father-daughter dance that went perfectly. Thank you Howard for making our evening even more perfect!

Megan — Had an Amazing Time Thanks to DJ BigDaddyHD!

Wedding

Howard did a fantastic job DJ'ing our wedding! He kept the dance floor going the whole evening, which is what we hoped for! Music was a big stressor for me during wedding planning as I enjoy it but don't know a lot about it. After I met with Howard the first time he felt me feel at peace that he had it completely under control. He made his playlist based on the genres we told him we liked. He made it very clear that he was here to help us and wanted to incorporate everything we asked - with a ton of excitement about it too!
