MKE Wedding Entertainment
Ceremony Music + Cocktail Hour Magic
Hello, I'm Bryan! Weddings are special occasions, but sometimes the atmosphere can feel a bit quiet between the main events. That's where I come in! Whether it’s magic during the cocktail hour or providing beautiful ceremony music, I can make sure your day is filled with fun and excitement!
“We can't say enough good things about Bryan! He was so responsive and helpful in the planning process, providing music suggestions and even linking youtube so we could listen to the songs. He provided live dinner music for us and our first dance song. We had originally had other plans for our first dance which fell through a few weeks before the wedding and Bryan quickly stepped in and helped us by playing/singing instead. The night was beautiful and our guests were very impressed by the live music Bryan provided, we highly recommend him for your wedding!” - Caitlin & Nick
“We hired Bryan to mingle with our guests during cocktail hour at our wedding. We had so much positive feedback from our guests! 10/10 would recommend!” - Kate, bride
"Everything Before the DJ" - Music and Magic Entertainment Package
Introducing my new package: Everything Before the DJ. This unique entertainment experience combines my two passions—music and magic—to keep your guests entertained until the DJ takes over. I’ll entertain your guests with live music during your ceremony and cocktail hour, and then perform strolling close-up magic to keep the energy high and engaging. Once the DJ begins, I’ll discreetly disappear, leaving your guests amazed and excited for the rest of the night.
“We hired Bryan for our wedding and he was a hit! Our guests loved him and we got such great feedback about his work. He was professional, kind and such a great performer.” - Amy
The "Hidden" Problem with Most Receptions
You’ve planned the perfect wedding day, but there’s often one part that doesn’t quite hit the mark for your guests: the time between the ceremony and your arrival at the reception.
After the ceremony, while you and your wedding party are off taking pictures, your guests are left waiting. They’ve arrived early, found their seats, and now have to pass time until you’re ready to join them. They may not know each other well, and depending on how long photos take, they might be hungry or unsure how to strike up a conversation.
What if there was a way to eliminate that waiting time and turn it into something memorable?
“We hired Bryan to do card tricks for our guests at our wedding during cocktail hour and he was a hit! I can't recommend him enough.” - Allie, bride
How Will You Entertain My Guests?
With a combination of strolling close-up magic, comedy, and audience interaction, I’ll approach tables or small groups at your reception, delivering intimate, personal magic shows without the need for any setup - just magic that’ll wow your guests!
But it doesn’t stop there. As part of Everything Before the DJ, I can also provide live ceremony music (piano + vocals) to set the perfect vibe as you walk down the aisle. Whether it’s classical, contemporary, or something unique to your taste, I’ll work with you to craft a musical experience that complements your wedding day.
We were so grateful to Bryan for playing beautiful music for our cocktail hour. We had postponed our event 2 different times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Bryan was very understanding and flexible with these changes. Several of our guests came up to us and asked where we found such an excellent pianist and very much enjoyed Byran's music and talent. He is professional, personable, and responsive with every interaction. I highly recommend!” - Donna & Juliana
“What fun it was to have him amaze and surprise our family and friends during cocktail hour.” - Jenny, bride
Vocal Demo
Bryan played music before and after our ceremony and he did an amazing job. We gave him some songs to play that aren't typical wedding songs and he learned them quickly and easily. Bryan showed up early to the ceremony to set up and make sure that his piano sounded great on the speakers. He really made our ceremony memorable and we received many compliments on his work” - Joe & Bianca
Piano Demo
Bryan played piano and sang during our wedding ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful and completed our perfect day. Bryan was wonderful during the planning process of the wedding, always ready with suggestions when I asked for them and open to trying different versions of songs until I felt comfortable with the music. He was very helpful, incredibly professional and my husband and I could not have asked for a better pianist for our wedding.” - Alex & Joanna
Magic Demo
“Bryan is an amazing musician who helped make our wedding ceremony complete. He was easy to work and communicate with. He went above and beyond to learn the songs we requested of him to learn. He brought in a vibrant energy that surely made a difference in the overall ceremony. Thanks again Bryan!.” - Rachel & Tyler
The Perfect Solution
Imagine this: Your guests arrive at the reception and are immediately engaged with live music during your ceremony and cocktail hour. Then, as you’re off getting your photos taken, I’ll entertain your guests with strolling close-up magic—turning what would otherwise be dead time into something fun and interactive. And when it’s time for the DJ to start, I’ll discreetly disappear, allowing your reception to smoothly transition into the party phase.

How Does It Work?
It’s simple! Once we decide to work together, I’ll arrive at your wedding venue before your guests. I’ll be there waiting as your guests start to trickle in. Once they’ve settled, I’ll start moving from group to group, performing magic, cracking jokes, and creating a fun, engaging atmosphere for everyone.
And while I’m making your guests laugh and cheer, you can rest easy knowing everything’s taken care of. No need to worry about entertainment logistics—just focus on enjoying the best day of your life!
One last thing: my performances are clean, family-friendly, and engaging for all ages. Your guests will be amazed, laughing and gasping at magic tricks, mind reading, and impossible feats—all without any off-color or inappropriate content.
