More Testimonials From Our Amazing Clients

I cannot give enough positive feedback about my recent experience with Bryan! As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with MANY wedding DJ’s and bands. Bryan is hands down the best DJ I have ever worked with! From day one of inquiring for my clients to the final moments of breakdown after the wedding, he has responsive, thorough, thoughtful, and all-around super positive and fun to work with! There are many talented musicians and vendors, but there are some things that cannot be taught. You either “get it” or you don’t. You can either read a crowd or you can’t. You either have fabulous taste and instinct for pairing songs, transitioning from one to the next.. or you don’t. Bryan gets it! The result – a packed dance floor all night long and a bride & groom who have the perfect night to remember surrounded by family and friends! Thank you, Bryan!

Haley, Wedding Planner

DJ Bryan is the absolute BEST!! From our first meeting, he was the least stressful part about planning our wedding. His energy is contagious and entertaining and his ability to read the vibes of the crowd was just what we wanted. Our guests were dancing even before dinner was over. DJ Bryan also played the guitar for our ceremony and cocktail. It was absolutely PERFECT! Would recommend DJ Bryan to anyone who wants everyone, and I mean everyone…up and dancing!

Jaclyn, Bride

I can’t say enough wonderful things about DJ Bryan!! From booking with him to our wedding reception, our whole experience was amazing. We were coming from out of town and I didn’t really know much about Charleston. I contacted OtherBrother Entertainment because of the awesome reviews. I talked with DJ Bryan and from the very beginning he was professional, knowledgeable, relaxed but still thorough. We talked about what music my husband and I wanted at our reception and what we were looking for. He was so personable and made us feel that he was genuinely excited to be a part of our special day. When it came time for our wedding he was incredible. He played guitar during our cocktail hour, which I’m actually really sad we missed because our guests loved it! Then he knocked our reception out of the park! Everyone was dancing for almost the whole time, which is exactly what we wanted. He really made our reception! We are still getting compliments over how amazing our DJ was! I would highly recommend DJ Bryan. He really was the best and surpassed all of our expectations!

Susan, Bride

We don’t even know where to start… Bryan is such an amazing DJ and so incredibly talented at what he does! My husband and I are destination wedding videographers and we have seen/worked with our fair share of DJ’s and bands over the years and across the United States. Bryan is without a doubt one of the most talented DJ’s we have ever worked with; he caters the music to the crowd and constantly engages the guests. He made our job easy, not once did we have to make the dance floor “look like it was full”, as it was ALWAYS packed! From the moment the dancing began all the way until the send-off, practically every guest was out on the dance floor. Prior to the dancing, he was incredibly accommodating to the other vendors making sure we were ready and prepared before he announced anything, assuring we along with the photographers never missed anything. He was professional and clearly enjoys what he does, and it truly reflects on his work. We could not speak more highly of Bryan, we were so blown away by his talent and ability!

Summit Stone Creations, Corporate Client

The DJ makes the party- and BRYAN brought the party. I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Bryan. We met him at a friends wedding and knew immediately we needed him at our wedding! He was personable and did everything we asked and so much more! He helped us pick songs when we were torn and gave opinions where we needed them! All of our friends and family talked about how amazing he was. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception flawlessly. HUGE shout out to Bryan for being the best ever! We feel so lucky to have found Bryan!

Ali, Bride

DJ Bryan was awesome! He had my conference attendees dancing from the minute they entered the room and was really able to work with a mix of generation to have them all dancing together. He is THE BEST!

WithIt Leadership, Corporate Client

This is a man that loves what he does and brings everybody together out on the dance floor!

Lindsay, Bride

One of the things I was most concerned with for my wedding was the music! My husband and I have very particular music tastes, but still wanted people dancing and having fun. We wanted a lot of classic music but we didn’t want anything to be a downer. Bryan handled our unique requests PERFECTLY. He listened to every one of the 100 or so songs I sent him, did a ton of research, and somehow mixed RuPaul with The Rolling Stones effortlessly. The dance floor was filled our entire reception. He read our extremely diverse crowd very well. He played Trina and Mos Def without losing any of the older folks. On top of all of this, he took my request of playing Wild Horses on acoustic guitar during our processional, and not only did he make it work, it happened perfectly so that he played the chorus during MY walk down the aisle with my brother who cried. Bryan’s personality melded perfectly with our group of people — he matched the total authenticity, diversity, love and openness of everyone that was there. His energy reflected all of that back to us which is how I dreamed it would be. Bryan is the best you can get, especially if you want to maintain a feeling of intimacy, whether your wedding is big or small.

Lucinda, Bride

We LOVE working with Bryan! He’s truly one of the best with is ability to read the crowd and keep the party going!! Our clients love his professionalism and capabilities.

Mike Winship, Charleston Wedding Planner

Look no further. Bryan was professional, fun, an exceptional dj, and he had a great attitude! He worked with our venue and us to deliver our corporate employees the best experience possible!

Ace C, Corporate Client

DJ Bryan Mahanes is a MUST for your wedding! He had the best playlist and amazing energy! Everything ran so smoothly and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had! The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone stayed until the last dance! He was perfection from start to finish. I want to do it all over again and would choose Bryan every time. Highly recommend!!!

Jennifer and Michael, Bride and Groom

Awesome DJ !! Everyone danced and totally made our wedding the best day ever!!! Our 10 year old nephew even got to help DJ!! Bryan was Awesome and even worked within our budget!!! The best was how everyone from old to young could not stop complimenting us on what a great wedding it was!! Thank you Bryan

Ruth, Bride

Bryan was a phenomenal DJ for our recent wedding. We really feel like we got lucky in finding him, we couldn’t have asked for more. He was so helpful before and during, even taking care of little things we hadn’t thought of…he is a true professional, and had everyone dancing the WHOLE night!

Jennifer, Bride

Bryan the DJ worked at our wedding on June 25, 2016! He played acoustic music during our cocktail hour, helped my uncles set up equipment for them to play at our ceremony, and DJ’ed the reception. He played all of the most fun music and got everyone dancing! It was a perfect night and I would recommend Bryan to anyone! 🙂

Tara, Bride

Jennifer, Bride

DJ Bryan Mahanes really exceeded our expectations not only at the reception but at the ceremony also! He kept the reception alive and made us have the best night ever. I highly recommend!

Jennifer, Bride

Bryan was THE BEST! He took our suggestions and requests and made the reception for our wedding unforgettable! He chose great songs to get the crowd going and was able to read our guests, keeping everyone dancing all night! He also played the acoustic guitar for our ceremony making for the most beautiful processional. Everyone loved him. I HIGHLY recommend Bryan if you are looking for DJ or musician for your wedding or event. 10 stars!

Emily, Bride

Bryan did an absolutely fantastic job on the evening of my son’s wedding. He was very attentive to a few details that may or may not be so typical but he did them just great. My uncle is 88 years old and he actually got out on the dance floor so you know Bryan had it going that night. Thanks, Bryan, for a superb job!!

Jeff, Father of the Groom

Bryan was amazing! He was sure to hit all of the songs I wanted to hear. He kept the crowd dancing and cheering all night long. We received so many compliments about how great he was. We had the time of our lives, and I am so glad that Bryan was a part of that!

Michelle, Bride

Bryan Mahanes from OtherBrother Entertainment was incredible! He kept every single person on the dance floor the entire night. Everyone told us it was the best wedding they had been to because they had such a blast at the reception. I highly recommend Bryan, he did a fantastic job!

Nicole, Bride

Byran Mahanes is the best!!! Seriously, he made our night. From start to finish, the dance floor was PACKED. Young and old, people danced all night, and that was no accident. We wanted a 70’s, yacht rock and funk kind of vibe, and to say Bryan delivered is an understatement. He genuinely had a blast playing all the songs we wanted to hear and helped make everything like speeches and cake cutting super seamless, so giant thank you to Bryan and Other Brother Entertainment. Bryan – we’ll have to come see you DJ live next time we’re in Charleston!!!

Amanda, Bride

Bryan Mahanes was everything we wanted in a DJ! He was the perfect MC who kept our night moving and everybody dancing . We had a very long list of “must have” songs and he managed to weave them in seamlessly. He kept it upbeat the whole night and no one left the dance floor! This was impressive as we had a wide range of ages and music tastes out there but everyone loved what he played. We also had Bryan play acoustics for the ceremony and cocktail hour and we were beyond impressed with that.

Bryan was so easy to work with and accommodated pretty much every request we had – he even made custom mixes we wanted for the first dances. We were from out of town, so his responsiveness and input was very helpful for us. We think that the music can really make or break a wedding reception so we know it is a big decision when choosing a DJ. That’s why we think Bryan is the perfect choice, he won’t let you down!

Joseph, Groom

Bryan was awesome! He had everyone on the dance floor all night! We are happy he was part of our big day! Highly recommend him.

Maria, Bride

We could not be happier with Bryan Mahanes as our DJ for our wedding. The planning process was so easy and he did a great job allowing us to send him song names and gave us his opinion. Bryan played guitar with Alex Agrest on the violin for our ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful as the music really set the tone for our guests. They also played during our cocktail hour. Bryan then went above and beyond in helping plan ahead and organize a surprise song with him on guitar, our bridesmaid singing and family member playing the saxophone. It was so personal and beautiful. Bryan was the DJ for our reception and had our guests on the dance floor the whole night. He did an AWESOME job of transitioning and combining songs. We never had a chance to sit down because we loved every single song. Bryan added so much to our wedding and we received countless compliments on the music!

Cecilia, Bride

We have worked with OBE many times and Bryan and his staff are top notch. Every event is always perfect and the detail and dedication to the client is always on their mind. I look forward to each and every show where they are involved! Use them and your event will be perfect, start to finish.

Michael

Other Brother was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! From a management standpoint Trey and Ian were responsive and accommodating. They worked with us to rent equipment for our ceremony and set it up. And despite a major hiccup with our original DJ falling ill on our rehearsal night, they secured DJ Bryan Mahanes for us and shared all of our notes and information to him seamlessly. We didn’t even feel the stress of the situation at all. And then Bryan NAILED IT. He made our wedding an absolute blast. The dance floor was packed from the first dance to the last – literally. In just a days notice, Bryan made us a custom first dance sequence that we will remember forever. It was truly incredible. Bryan captured every little detail and our guests loved him too. In fact, he put more thought and care into it than even we did!

Theresa, Bride

We used DJ Bryan Mahanes for our wedding and he was worth every penny. I struggled with choosing a DJ that fit our style, would have great MC’ing skills, and was able to truly feel out a crowd to know how to keep them going or transition from cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing and on. First of all, Bryan was super responsive and flexible – he made me feel like he was working with me to make this the best day of our lives, not just another booking or another job. Second, his MC’ing skills and communication to our guests was not only engaging, but super effective. Last, but not least, his music was absolutely on point! We actually had a full dance floor before the first course was even finished. If you don’t want to take the word from a biased bride (haha) it may help to know that we even had our guests AND venue staff tell us that it was one of the best wedding party music they had been a part of. You will not regret working with Bryan. He was absolutely phenomenal.

User7202263 on WeddingWire.com

Bryan Mahanes was the DJ for our reception and he did an incredible job! He kept everyone on the dance floor and the dancing lasted the entire night. He stayed away from my ‘no play’ list which I greatly appreciated and played great music. He was nice and very fun! I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great DJ (especially if they love classic rock)!

Allyson, Bride

Bryan Mahanes of Other Brother Entertainment is the BEST! Our wedding at Palmetto Bluff was absolutely amazing in every way due in part to Bryan and his dedicated staff. From the many event rentals at our ceremony and reception to Bryan himself as our AWESOME DJ and the WAY cool light show at our after-party, it was all spectacular. Bryan’s professionalism and attention to every detail are very apparent; he was so gracious and promptly responded to any questions or requests we had throughout the planning process.

Our guests still comment on how beautiful and fun our wedding was, and we owe a lot of gratitude to Bryan & OBE for making it so memorable!

Andreana & RJ Snyder, Bride & Groom, Palmetto Bluff

Bryan Mahanes with Other Brother entertainment is the Absolute Best in the Business. He provided a multitude of entertainment and was like a 3 for 1. He played beautiful acoustic guitar for my ceremony that left people breathless. Then he moved over and played more acoustic guitar for the Cocktail Hour, where the songs were a great blend from new to old and everything in between. For the Finale he was the DJ for our Reception and was the True Catalyst for an Epic Wedding that people are still saying was the best wedding they have ever attended. Guests are still coming up to me and making comments at how great the music was. He read the crowd and really played to each and every guest. Hell with in the first 30 mins the dance floor was packed and I believe we had to encourage people to eat. I can’t thank you enough Bryan. You truly made Josh & my Wedding day complete! Hands down the BEST!!!

Sarah, Bride

Oh Bryan, Josh and I can’t thank you enough for making our wedding one of the best people have attended. People continue to come up and comment on how great the music was for all ages and the non-stop dance party! I loved how right off the rip you had people dancing and had to even tell people to take a seat so they would eat haha!! You were amazing on the acoustic guitar as well for the ceremony and cocktail hour. You are truly amazing and helped make it a perfect day.

Thank you so much!!! You are clearly the best in the business!

Sarah and Josh, Bride and Groom, Kiawah Island Resort

When I found out that our wedding coordinator used him for her own wedding, I knew we were set. Bryan managed to introduce every person and timeline events in a non-cheesy but fun manner and remained flexible when our evening did not adhere to the timeline. He knew when to hang back and when to interject, and did an excellent job reading our crowd for song choices. Our guests are still commenting on how FUN our reception was, especially since everyone was on the dance floor all night long! If you are considering Bryan for your own wedding, I can promise that you will not be disappointed!

Megan, Bride

Bryan is awesome and you should trust this review as a basis to hire him for your event.  We did a destination wedding in Charleston and we had to plan the whole thing from Boston. DJ has to be one of the hardest things to pick — a DJ can make or break a party and there’s no way to review one without actually attending an event they are playing at. On a night in which a ton of decisions went our way, the decision to hire Bryan Mahanes to DJ our wedding was the best one we made.
Bryan brought solemnity, smoothness, class and the party. I apologize that this review will be too short to really convey the masterful job that he pulled off. From the timing, pacing and presentation of the ceremony to the handling of the various moments in the evening (the cutting of the cake, the toasts, moving the guests from the cocktail reception to dinner), Bryan hit the perfect note in acting as MC for our wedding. When it came to music, we had selected much of the pre-ceremony music and the processional, recessional, entrance and first dance. We thought we would have the time and inclination to give him a playlist for the dance party. As we tried to build something, we realized that light instructions of what we wanted our party to be would be more effective than a limiting playlist. Bryan brought a vision that was seamless in his mixing of 60s Motown to modern top 40.

The music never stopped, Bryan never stopped AND he entertained requests! My 70-year-old aunts were dancing for an hour and a half. I had my ski buddies bugging out to Rihanna (don’t ask, they’re weird dudes). My bride’s friends went nuts to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”. I write this review from the other side. If I could hire Bryan again, I wouldn’t even think twice about it.

Recently Married in Charleston, SC

We had another DJ cancel due to his brother getting married on our same day. No worries though he highly recommended OBE and I met with DJ Bryan Mahanes to discuss our style and needs. He was amazing! I wanted classic, shag, and later party music. As we were eating dinner I looked at my new husband and said this guy is good! I’ve loved every song he has played! He also set us up with a mic for the ceremony so everyone could hear our readers despite the breeze. Everything worked out and was meant to be! Thanks, Bryan!

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. It was truly the best day of our lives and we loved every minute of it! Thank you for continually working with us and helping us have the beautiful music during the cocktail hour, our first dances, the dance party we wanted(!) and the perfect music during everything else. I kept telling Tom, “He really knows what music we love. He’s 5 for 5 on the first five songs.” Everything worked out perfectly. We had an amazing day, and truly unforgettable memories.

Tom and Chloe

DJ B Mahanes was better than I could have imagined! We received so many compliments about our DJ and how fun of a wedding we had! I highly recommend Bryan! He made our wedding unforgettable!

Mackenzie

After having to postpone our initial wedding date due to a hurricane, DJ Bryan Mahanes was super accommodating in rescheduling. He and the OtherBrother team took the time to learn our taste in music and translated that to the dance floor. Bryan seamlessly mixed oldies with new pop music and had the entire wedding (young and old) up dancing all night long. He also played guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour. It sounded amazing, and was exactly what we envisioned for a beautiful ceremony! All night, guests were coming up to my wife and me to tell us how much they loved the DJ. If you are planning a wedding in the Charleston area, definitely consider Bryan Mahanes and OtherBrother!

Bryan Mahanes was the HIT of the night. He was so easy going, responsive, and great to work with. He caterers to the audience but more importantly to the bride and groom. He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy (the bride). Any questions I had he would patiently and quickly respond. My 215 guests absolutely LOVED him and I couldn’t stop raving about how amazing our DJ was. I honestly could not be happier!!! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night.. to the point we were chanting “one more song” as the night ended. No one wanted to leave. Also – he played acoustic guitar at the ceremony and is extremely talented. We really lucked out. I promise you will not be disappointed with him!

Maya, Bride, March 17, 2017,  #luckofthebonellos

Bryan!!! You were by far the best part of the night. You just knocked it out of the park… and every person we’ve talked to had nothing but great things to say about you!!! Thank you!

Maya & Bobby

We want to express our sincerest gratitude to you for making our wedding so special and fun! We had the best time that day and our guests can’t stop talking about what an awesome DJ you were. We couldn’t agree more!! We can’t thank you enough for your hard work and for working your magic to keep the dance floor packed and energy High all night long. We will cherish the memories from our wedding day for the rest of our lives and your music will be at the top of our list of recommendations to newly engaged couples for years to come!

Love and many thanks,

Laura Claire and Brian, October 2017, William Aiken House

Hire DJ B-Mahanes. Just do it. He is the best DJ. From the moment we met, we clicked. He is the owner of his company, Other Brother Entertainment, and is such a down to earth guy. After our first meeting, we went to Prohibition on King Street to see him in action – it was awesome. We hired Bryan to do the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, the reception, and the dance party, and we could not have made a better decision. To make the event flow more smoothly, he set up a station at the ceremony location and the reception – there was no lugging equipment between the two portions. His music was on point for every part of the day. Music was at the perfect level for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He did not miss a beat during introductions, speeches, first dances, or anything – there was no stumbling over names of wedding party members, which I have seen at so many of my friends’ weddings, and after the formalities were over, he kept the guests on the dance floor all night!! He even let one of our guests “Co-DJ” for a minute, which was hilarious! We had a number of our guests comment that he was the best DJ they had ever seen at a wedding, and I agree!!

We had a couple of requests prior the big day that Bryan really came through for us on – we shortened the song we chose for our first dance and the mother/son dance, and Bryan spliced it perfectly. You couldn’t even tell a verse had been removed. For the father/daughter dance, my dad and I danced to “What a Wonderful World” but had the song turn into a flash mob with the Time Warp – Bryan was able to make it happen for us and sent us the finished product a few days in advance so my family knew when the flash mob was going to take place. It was such a fun thing for my family, and I am so grateful for Bryan for making it happen – he was totally on board with the idea and loved it!

With Bryan, we did not have a single thing to worry about all night – thank you for making our big day PERFECT!!!

Claire, Bride

From the very start of planning our wedding, we knew we wanted everyone on the dance floor so choosing a good DJ was key. Bryan Mahanes was FANTASTIC. He blew our guests away playing the acoustic guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour. He blew our guests away again when switching into DJ mode for our reception. Our goal was met- everyone was on the dance floor! Almost 2 weeks later, our guests are still talking about how great he was. Thank you again for making our day so awesome!!!

Haley, Bride

DJ Bryan Mahanes was absolutely wonderful! He played acoustic guitar for my daughters October wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Pepper Plantation , and then was DJ and master of ceremonies for the reception. His guitar skills were fabulous and the music beautiful!

He followed our wishes for music genre to a “T” and his timing for playing the right song at the right time that would please the crowd was impeccable! He has a very energetic personality and was so easy to work with! We’ve received many compliments from our guests and he kept the dance floor packed all night! I highly recommend DJ Bryan!

Lisa, Bride

DJ Bryan Mahanes is amazing. His energy is contagious. He kept my reception rocking until our send off! He played beautiful acoustic music during the cocktail hour, DJed the reception, & set up my uncles who played at our ceremony. He even went above and beyond to help my aunt set up a video camera. 5 stars! I’d recommend him to any couple that wants their guests to dance & have fun!!!! Thanks again!!!

Tara, Bride

If you are looking for a wedding DJ, look no further! DJ Bryan Mahanes was one of the biggest reasons my wedding was such a success. Other Brother Entertainment was amazingly professional and easy to work with, I would recommend the company and my DJ to anyone and everyone who asks.

Bryan actually provided my ceremony music as well as my recepetion music. He set up speakers at Battery Park and played acoustic guitar throughout. I gave him almost no guidance with what to play and he took it upon himself to plan the music and even the song I walked down the aisle to was perfectly planned by Bryan! Immediately after the ceremony he had to pack everything up and rush to the reception in order to get the music started there and announce the bride and groom! He did this flawlessly! He put time and care into making sure the music was something everyone could enjoy. Every generation was up on their feet dancing all night because Bryan made it impossible not do so! I couldn’t even count how may compliments I got on my DJ, he was truly one of the best parts of the night. Seriously, if you’ve just started looking, or if you’ve been shopping around…STOP…DJo Bryan Mahanes is the guy for you, and if he is not available then Other Brother Entertainment will take care of you like your family.
