Huge shout out to Boogie Time Entertainment and Matthew Brulla for making our special day absolutely perfect! From the moment we contacted him to the day of the event, Matt was always just a text away and always answered immediately. Matt is also an extremely talented musician in his own way and always puts his own little spin on every event. We loved that he could make every little thing feel even more special. From the speeches, calling out my maid of honor when she told him that she was so nervous that she was gonna herself, and letting me playing music with my Pringle covered fingers . I could not recommend a better DJ, it’s a relationship that we will cherish forever. Thank you again so much ! .
