Bravura Entertainment

All i have to say is WOW!!! My guests never sat in their seats. The music was just sooooo great. Guest told me every time they got tired and tried to walk back to their seats another song came on they just had to dance. Bravura did an amazing job. Raul was my master of ceremonies and he was fun and very professional. Sadly i don't know that name of my Dj but he was fantastic. Price wise they are not your most expensive but they are not your cheapest, but i say you get what you pay for. I would recommend them to everyone.

Bravura was great!!! All our expectations were met in every way, our DJ, MC, and Vocalist performed just as we had dreamed of. I got so many compliments throughout the evening and still are. I hired Bravura not only because they had won me over in one of there showcases, but of the professionalism and assurance they demonstrated to me in the very beginning that they would make my day memorable!!And they did :)

I'm very happy with Bravura, from the first meeting, to the scheduling, to the wedding day performance... everything was perfect! Tony, our MC, was very professional, and we loved Vincent, the pianist, as well as our violin due during our ceremony. The DJ was fantastic and played all my requests, keeping the guests dancing all night!!I'm very happy with them and would highly recommend them!

music was awesome no feedback the sound was amazing and they got everyone out of their seats the music made the wedding and everyone had a great time!

Every second working with Bravura was amazing. They EXCEEDED my expectations. We were a BIG dancing/party crowd and they started and continued the party! Dancing is one of my favorite things along with music, and this vendor was SO important to my husband and I. The dance floor was never empty and that's the best thing I felt all night---looking around and seeing everyone I love having the time of their lives. The lighting was SO beautiful and well worth it!! ALSO, we had the calypso band for the cocktail hour and I heard SO many compliments on how great they were! THANK YOU BRAVURA!!

Guests take away the quality of food and entertainment when attending a wedding and we were certain to have this be a priority! We saw a number of popular DJ companies, but when it came to meeting with Bravura and witnessing their showcase firsthand there was not a doubt as to who we would use. We booked their DJ/MC combo as well as their uplighting package. Tony was appropriate, classy and knew what type of affair we were striving for and made that happen.One major complaint is the lack of personalized responsiveness to emails and phone calls. Emails would be answered via automatic responses when specifically requesting phone calls or the answering of specific questions. Weeks before the wedding, when stress is at an all time high, and changes are being made, a bride does not want to receive some impersonal email. Phone calls would often be returned by those who were not capable of giving us the information we were requesting. And truly it was only a handful of contacts, something that really wouldnt have taken much time. It was a bit disappointing and made us uneasy for the big day. After all, it is in the end when couples have the most questions and we really didnt feel as though we were a priority and that felt bad.In the end our guests danced the night away! Every guest made their way to the dance floor at some point during the night and most stayed there all night, including us - the bride and groom!

I was so worried about the music! Lets just say that I am a very detailed bride. I had my final meeting with Jenelle and she assured me that everything would be perfect. I was worried that the our DJ was not at the final meeting. Now that it is over, I can honestly say that Bravura delivered perfection. My notes were extremly detailed because of my crazy ideas and I expected for the DJ to miss a few requests. Nothing was missed! The night was perfect. If you are looking for a company that will cater to your specific music and etertainment need and deliver quality talent and professionalism, Bravura is the way to go!

Bravura Entertainment did an awesome job at our wedding! They had the old and young up and dancing all night. One thing to point out I didn't feel that the DJ wore his best outfit for our event. My husband was a bit disappointed with the open shirt and lack of tie for our formal affair. In addition the booth was lacking the stage appearance we first fell in love with during the show case. In general, I highly recomment Bravura for any event.

Kristin & John Ciorra November 6, 2010 Stone House at Stirling Ridge Warren NJFrom start to finish, Tony & Paul and any other Bravura staff that we worked with were nothing but professional, accomodating and flexible. This is the vendor that we were most excited for and the one that we had not a worry in the world about, and now that the wedding reception is over I can honestly say that Bravura exceeded all of our expectations. We had Anthony as our emcee and the full live 5 piece ensemble for our cocktail hour and reception. We had the lighting which was not at all what some have consisting of strobe lights and Sweet 16 like colors-it was soft and just added to the beauty of our reception room. We also had the plasma screen, photo montage and photojournalist photographer. The screen was not obnoxiously large or in everyone's face and the picture quality was superb, nothing blurry or superimposed which I have seen on other plasma screens at other weddings. Anthony's energy as an emcee was exactly what we requested. Each musician was just unbelieveably talented. There aren't enough words to express how talented Paul is, his voice is simply magical! The photojournalistic photographer was excellent, he actually took numerous pictures that we liked better than our main photographer and he was not nearly as overbearing and in our face as she was, which we truly appreciated! I recommend Bravura to everyone I know and do not believe there is a better company in the tri state area. Although an unusual request/wish, the only other thing that would have made having them even better was if they could have provided us with a "soundtrack" of our wedding which included the music they played via dj and the music the musicians played-it was that fantastic that I wish I had that to relive it everyday!!

They are the best company out there! Make sure to visit their exclusive performance show! We booked on the spot after seeing 10 other entertainment companies! Unbelievable!

Professionalsim and quality of service are top notch. Flexibility is aslo off the charts--we had them provide live music for the wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour, and had a DJ for the reception--the variety and configurations are completely up to you. A little pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for and Bravura helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

This review is for Raul, our DJ/MC: Raul was absolutely amazing, super friendly, patient, and accommodating. I had not met him before the wedding (I only dealt with Tony and Aaron setting up the arrangements) and was initially unsure of whether he would be good, but he exceeded my expectations. He accommodated my crazy cousins' request to put on a spontaneous choreographed dance number (as a "gift" to me, haha). He played the photo montage that my sister made, and then adeptly adjusted when it was clear that it was not professionally finished and WAY too long. He was helpful, friendly, fun, and sweet, signing our guest book and generally being an absolute dream to work with. No complaints, Raul was fantastic! On the management side, Tony was a very good, charming salesperson, although I didn't get the best vibes from Aaron in either of our 2 meetings with him (a bit condescending when I said our music choices included country, and generally just not as personable as Tony). Overall, Bravura delivered on their promise and kept the party going. Thanks, Raul!

I don't even know where to begin.. a couple of years ago we heard them play at our friends wedding and said we HAVE to have them when we get married.. well 3 yrs later they were there and the dance floor was packed the ENTIRE NIGHT. when we met with our MC a month before he goes over EVERY detail about the wedding. They were amazing!!!!! LOVE THEM

We had a string quartet for the ceremony, and they were lovely. Then we had a small DJ set-up for the cocktail hour which offered a little background music without being obtrusive. The DJ and master of ceremonies for the reception were very high-energy (because that's what we requested), and they kept people dancing. They had an excellent mix of music, and used ALL of our suggestions. Also, they were very accomodating with last-minute changes or additions, such as making announcements and being creative and interactive with the crowd. They even made my husband dance to earn the privilage of taking off my garter. It was a fantasitc night and hardly anyone spent the whole night sitting! They were too busy dancing!! They even threw in extra lighting that made for a very nice atmosphere.

I did not need to search various DJ companyies or even know someone personally who used Bravura to book them. I saw them at my RH bridal showcase and was immediately impressed and sold on them based on their presentation and by spending a few minutes speaking to them. I knew they would be it. I feel very strongly against the cheesy, loud and showy DJ presentation which it seems many out there go with. Bravura is against that also. They are very professional, and have a classy presentation. They are all well spoken and take pride in what they do and realize that a wedding is an adult event and not a super Sweet 16. And their price was very reasonable and competitive. And they offer live entertainment... something most DJ's do not offer. I never dreamed that I would be able to afford a jazz trio for my cocktail hour but they made it possible. They sounded amazing and guests were very impressed. The reception was a hit as well. People danced all night. Me and my husband had a VERY hard time deciding on a wedding song and at our final meeting with them, they patiently spent 2 long hours sitting with us trying to find the perfect song. The only thing I would have liked different was that we did not meet with our Emcee prior to the wedding. That is the only reason I did not give 5 stars. This is something I should have requested myself and I'm sure they would have accomodated my request. I think it's important to meet with your emcee so that he gets an understanding for himself of what it is you want and what you are looking for. I dont know if it was not meeting with him or our late decision making of wedding songs that caused confusion with our spotlight dance but after all was said and done, it was a great success and you realize that some things may not go as perfect as planned. Guests had a great time as well as bride and groom! My brother will be meeting with Bravura for his upcoming wedding!

Where do I begin??? This is the vendor that I was most excited for, and now that the wedding reception is over I can honestly say that BRAVURA exceeded all of our expectations. We received so many compliments during our cocktail hour with the cityscapes jazz group. The reception was unbelievable, we are so happy we went with all the extras at the reception. The percussionist was awesome and my grandmother was dancing with the saxophonist. All of our requests were played and the energy was crazy. I highly recommend BRAVURA, they are definitely the way to go!!!!

They were the best DJ company ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had the carribean musice for our cocktail which was a hit because it was something different. We upgraded to the plasma tvs which I think was the best thing we ever did cause all the guests loved it

I can't praise them enough. They had everyone dancing all night long! They totally respected our wishes, and when something questionable was requested they asked permission first. I have received so many compliments from guests about how wonderful they were.

We were very disappointed with Bravura. We were expecting high energy dancing all day long and got the complete opposite. Their ceremony music was great as well as the live steel drum for cocktail hour but when it came to the reception there was a lot of silence in between songs, half of our requested songs were not played, they played genre's we requested them NOT to play, and the crew went missing half the time and my bridal attendant searched for them and found them on cigarette breaks (OFTEN). Our MC left halfway through our wedding without saying anything and left two young kids to continue playing music who were extremely rude to our guests and rolled their eyes and complained when they requested songs that they had to "search" for. Overall, very disappointed, I would not recommend them and have steered many couples away from them. Don't be deceieved by their showcases!!!

My guests were on the dance floor all night. They did not play some requested songs and played a lot from a genre we asked them to stay away from. However, everyone loved them and had a GREAT time!!
