What a great DJ!! The minute we met with Bill we knew that he was the one for us - he has an amazing voice and amazing ideas in terms of how to introduce wedding parties, what music to play, etc.
We literally had to beg him to keep going towards the end of the night - I was nervous prior to the wedding about making sure that people got out of the floor but the music he played was perfect - again, it was after midnight and the dance floor was still full!
The other great things about Bill is that because of his experience he was able to keep the night moving according to our planned schedule - he knew when to introduce the wedding party, when to announce dinner, the cake cutting, etc. Without him I know that we would have falled behind for sure.
Bill was also so flexible and accomodating - I actually met with him for an hour to go over all the deails and he was extremely patient the entire time. Also, I was actually planning my wedding from Minnesota and he was always available on email and would respond within a day.
Also talk to Bill if you are interested in lighting - he was able to give us some budget friendly ideas on how to make the room glow without spending thousands.
I definitely recommend him!!...

Bill Cody was great! He was always available to meet with us when we needed him to, and his responsiveness to emails and phone calls was extremely fast. At the wedding he did an awesome job. He was always aware of where we were and what we were doing, and he tweaked the schedule last minute based on what needed to be done. For example, at one point we were supposed to start our newly wed game show, but he ended up moving this back to after the cake cutting because we were still going around visiting tables. It worked out perfectly, and nobody else noticed but those that new of the original schedule. I would definitely recommend him! He also did a great job at getting people out on the dance floor and staying there.

It was a pleasure to work with the staff of Party time. From planning to party I knew I did not have to worry about anything. Bill was so full of energy and could keep a room of people moving on the dance floor, he certainly had his work cut out with our group...... I can say that if you choose Party time for your event you won't be dissapointed and it will make your life a lot easier.
The photographer he recommended was super. Randy Stewart used a high resolution digital camera. The pictures were stunning, even in difficult back light situations. You never knew he was taking pictures and capturing the moment. Not one picture was out of focus. Good job Randy......
It was a pleasure working with the videographer. He arrived a the time Bill said he capture every moment in the day.

Ed Petty did a really great job as the DJ at our wedding. I think it is really important to have someone with a great voice and energy to set the mood for you wedding, and Ed was AMAZING:) He played the music for our ceremony, and then also got the party started for the reception. He really did make sure that everything was perfect: keeping everyone organized before we were announced, keeping the party on the timeline, and making sure that no songs played that were not on the list lol. I am a very easy going person, but I still did appreciate that he would come to me before he played any requests to make sure that I did not despise the song:) He had a great knack of finding me where ever I was in the hotel to let me know that certain things were about to happen, such as the bridal toss or the last dance. During the bridal toss, he not only went running around to find the bouquet for me, but he made sure to stall the audience with songs until all of my ladies made it back up to the party to catch the bouquet. He kept us dancing ALL NIGHT, and everyone there had a GREAT time. He even had all four sets of grandparents out on the floor bustin a move lol:) We really did have an awesome wedding, and I would definitely recommend Ed to any bride looking for a great DJ.

I'm not a big fan of DJ music and usually like to hear live bands but we had a GREAT time! It's true what they say about weddings, the reception and the party is what people talk about. And i received a lot of positive comments about the party. Thanks Party Time!

Bill Cody is the absolute best DJ of all time! My parents were happy, my husband and I were happy, and all the guests were happy. I wanted everyone to dance at my wedding and Bill Cody got everyone out of the dance floor and made sure everyone had a fabulous time. He kept things moving at the reception and was a great announcer. We played all the songs I asked for and put them in the best order. Don't even look at another DJ; Bill Cody is definitely the best!!

We used Ed Petty with Billy Cody Party Times and he was great! He read the crowd and played songs based on the mood of the room. He got the guests involved and out on the dance floor. Plus, he was easy going and made any announcements needed. We thought he did a great job!

OUR DJ was Sir George Phillips! HE was incredible and did a great job in our reception. We had a renaissance time period wedding and he did not blink at dressing in the attire for the era! He kept things moving and help to direct us in which ever way we needed to go, but let us be in control of the evening! Our event was incredible and he even announced and spoke in that time period with introductions and all! He did a great job and would have him again at any events! I will be using him for things to come!!!
He is top notch!

GREAT DJ & GREAT MUSIC. We wanted a variety so we told him the kind of music we wanted and he just took it from there. We were extremely impressed with what he did with the reception music. He kept everyone entertained & everyone was tipping him like crazy! IT WAS AMAZING!

Our Dj was very understanding, and very much willing to work with us. He was very helpful, in telling us the way he has seen things run very smooth. Also, he was very patient i had to change a few things at last minute, and there was no promblem with him.

We hired George Phillips from Bill Cody's party time. George was amazing!! He has a planning document which allows you to easily plan out the whole reception. The DJ keeps the pace and makes sure that the timing of everything happens correctly and in the right order. This is very important so your reception flows smoothly. We didn't have a wedding coordinator and nor did we need one. We had good vendors. My advise is to save the money and spend it on the actual vendors!!! With good vendors like George Phillips (DJ) and Randy Stewart (Photographer) you do not need a coordinator or planner. They know what to do and when to do it. They both took care of everything and told us when we need to be at various places (for the cake cutting, toasts etc.) Anyways George gave his recommendations for music selections etc. All you have to do is sit down with him and fill out information on his planning sheet and pic music you would like. He customized my wife's bouquet toss to "My humps" by looping the musics etc. The reception flowed seamlessly and was wonderful. He was very friendly and professional. I recommend him! He is a very good deal for the price. My wife and I spent tons of hours researching and finding vendors but are so glad we spent the time, good vendors make the day perfect. Spend the extra money on very good vendors, you only get married ones, so you might as splurge ; ) Good luck with year searches!
