The Best DJ

Pete is without a doubt the best DJ I’ve ever seen. From the moment we booked him, we knew he genuinely cared to make our wedding as special as he possibly could. The online planning tools were super easy to use and he made sure that we were on the same page with all the little details before our wedding. Not only did he do an amazing job of MCing the evening, he got the dance floor PACKED!! He incorporated a lot of our song selections and also added his own touch. It’s been over 3 weeks and people are still talking about how much fun they had. We are so grateful that we got to work with Pete and Big Sand Productions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Hire Big Sand!!!

We hired Big Sand to DJ our wedding and they knocked it out of the park! They were extremely communicative and easy to work with from the start. They have an easy to use online portal for selecting songs, providing event details, and making payments. Pete was super responsive whenever we had questions and made us feel at ease. Said was our MC/DJ for the night and absolutely crushed it. He provided crystal clear audio equipment for our ceremony and speeches, provided playlists for dinner and the cocktail hour, and had the dance floor bumping the entire night. He really took me and my wife's music taste into consideration and filled in the gaps to keep people dancing. We got so many compliments on the music, so thanks Said! Hire Big Sand if you want an overall excellent DJ experience!

Great Time Working with Big Sand!

I had a great time working with Big Sand Productions. I mostly talked with Pete leading up to the wedding day, and then Ty, our DJ on the wedding day.
Leading up to the wedding day Pete was super helpful and on top of the ball, I generally didn't have to wait long at all to get a response to any of my questions. A lot of the logistics and information was handled through a website, where I could enter in requested songs, do not play songs, and lay out a general timeline for the event. It was easy to use and allowed to get all of our information sorted ahead of time.
Ty, our DJ on the wedding night, was great to work with. A lot of logistics were sorted out in a call prior to the event, where we were able to get into the nitty gritty of what we were expecting. Then, on the night of the event, he was exceptional when it came to rolling with the changing needs of our event, taking requests, and played some great tunes that fit our guests taste!
All in all, I'd definitely recommend Big Sand to anyone getting married in the Milwaukee area!

DJ/Owner

I've worked as a professional DJ and Musician for the past 7 years. I got my first ever DJ gig at my brother's wedding at our family cabin on Big Sand Lake in Minnesota. I had so much fun doing it that I spent the next 5 years training with the best DJs I knew and working to build my own company. Once I finally launched, I of course named my company Big Sand Productions :)

Ever since, I have been fully committed to making each wedding I DJ as uniquely fun and memorable as I can. I have developed a myriad of skills in this industry and am confident that I will make your wedding truly special.
