Modern Era Weddings - Pittsburgh's Best DJs, Video, & Lighting Professionals

DJ Bill Bara and his assistant/lovely fiancee Denise were AMAZING. We seriously could not have asked for a better party rocker to keep our guests on the floor ALL NIGHT. Not only did they make our wedding the PARTY that we imagined, they coordinated the events flawlessly, and executed the gorgeous uplighting and dancefloor monogram (which took our decor from awesome to AMAZING) perfectly. His energy and personality kept everyone pumped up from the moment the music started, until the last song. He incorporated all of our requests, and took requests from our guests. As wedding photographers, we see a LOT of DJ's, but Bill is in another class. We would (and have on a regular basis) recommend him to ANYONE.

Bill and his assistant Denise were AWESOME. They were such a pleasure to work with and on the wedding day were so flexible and professional and kept the dance floor packed all night. We had our dancing in separate location then where the dinner was served and was set up in both locations -- like he was in two places at once. We had so many comments on how great the music was and how much fun people had. I would highly recommend him.

I would recommend Bill Bara to any one looking for a DJ. He did an amazing job at our wedding! He had people on the dance floor all night long. He had so much energy, and looked like he was having just as much fun as we did! On top of everything else, he and Denise were very professional. Best DJ in Pittsburgh!

I cannot say enough about Bill Bara as our DJ. He created a perfect mix of dance club with class. Because he is still out there in the clubs he knows how to read a crowd and keep a dance floor packed. There was only about 30 seconds where I noticed anyone sit down from the dance floor, and he somehow spun right out of that song so quickly and smoothly that everyone was right back on the dance floor. He stayed put together a speaker loaded with music for out cocktail hours which was in a separate room. Then he stayed a full hour late and no one left the dance floor! The reception was supposed to end at 11PM but the captain of our venue staff told us the DJ could continue to play because everyone was still dancing. At 11:45PM the captain told me he never expected us to continue to party for so long, and he was going to have to ask the DJ to stop so they'd have enought time to prepare the room for the 8am brunch event they had the next morning! (and there was no alcohol being served after 11pm!) On top of that, Bill and Denise are so easy and fun to work with. They are so excited to work with their couples and really enjoy what they do. They are responsive and professional. They only played 1 song from my "do not play" list, but that was because my Maid-of-Honor requested it to make fun of me! Bill even accomodated last-second changes to our bridal party introductions because they wanted to suprise us! Choosing Bill Bara as our DJ was hands down the best decision we made in our entire planning process.

By far the best wedding DJ I have experienced! Countless guests have said truthfully that it was the best wedding they have been to, and Bill played a huge part in that. It was the most consistently packed dance floor I have seen at a wedding ever, of all ages. Our legs were cramped up the next day from dancing :-) His assistant Denise also made sure all of the formalities at the event ran smoothly, do not discount the value of that. Bill also really seemed to have fun, he was engaged with the crowd, and people took notice to that. It was a perfect night, can't recommend them enough.

Dj bill Bara and Denise are the two most wonderful people to work with they made my special day even more special they are amazing and i would recommend them to everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Bill was an awesome DJ for our wedding. His website is easy to use and he does everything to make sure you have a good time. Every engaged friend at my wedding has asked for his information because they want to book him. It was a blast!

All of my guests commented that they had the best time at the wedding and have never danced so much before. We actually ran a 1/2 hour past when the reception was supposed to end because nobody wanted to stop dancing. I am beyond happy with the services that Bill Bara provided. He not only played every song I had hoped to hear, including my 80's power hour, he also made a great DVD slideshow for my cocktail hour. Unlike other DJs, he does not have a per-hour rate or a limit on when and how long he will be there. He also spent an hour with me before the wedding to discuss what type of environment and feel I wanted on the dance floor. I honestly did not have to create a "do not play list" or ban any songs and basically told him to play what he thought would work well with the crowd. I did not leave the dance floor after the music started! If you want to have a great time at your wedding and not worry about cheesy music, book Bill Bara. You will not regret it!

Bill and Densie were awesome to work with. They made every single minute of our reception special without very much input from us. We picked a few of the important songs (entrance, father/daughter, mother/son dance) but they took care of the rest. The dance floor was packed the entire time and I still have people telling me how much fun they had. Many thanks to you guys, you are great and I would recommend you to anyone without hesitation.

Bill is a pleasure to work with! He responds to e-mail messages quickly and will find you any song that you want with no questions asked. He is very professional and up to date on the latest DJ technology. I got so many compliments of how great he was at the reception and I will reccommend him to other brides!

Bill is an awesome DJ!! For me, I knew that music would make or break the night, so I wanted a fun DJ who knew how to pick the right music so that people would dance all night. And he definitely delivered! He played nice background music for our cocktail hour and dinner, and then stepped it up to party music for the reception. I only gave him a few 'must play' songs so that he could play what he though was best for the crowd. He mixed up many different genres and everyone was dancing. I have received many compliments on him and everyone had a blast! While planning, Bill was super easy to work with. We talked on the phone once or twice and emailed back and forth as well. His website lets you enter 'must play' and 'do not play' songs, which was very convenient. When we met in person for the first time, he was very personable and we got along great. It was so nice not having to worry about anything - I knew he would be great! I definitely recommend him!

We highly recommend DJ Bill Bara! He was professional, easy to work with and kept the party going the whole time. He also provided a beautiful uplighting service of which we received many compliments. DJ Bill Bara and his assistant Denise were awesome!

DJ Bill Bara is the best! My husband and I are so happy that Bill was our wedding DJ. I found choosing the DJ to be one of the hardest decisions for the wedding, but after meeting with Bill we were put at ease. We really wanted the feel of "dance club" music rather than "wedding music" and Bill definitely delivered! The majority of my husband's family was traveling from another country and we really wanted to incorporate music from his home country. Bill was so flexible and played all the top songs from the US and from my husband's country. Bill allows you to basically request all the music you want ahead of time through his website. I felt like the wedding was my own personal club playing all my favorite music. He also provided awesome lighting on the dance floor. And, Denise works with him. She is super organized and there every step of the way if you need her. Very professional. No disappointments. Highly recommend. He will play the style that you want.

Make sure you give everything (money bag, etc) to Bill before the wedding so that he doesnt have to attempt to find it during the reception! I'd highly recommend using Modern Era Weddings in conjunction with Bill's DJ services. They work well together and you know you can trust them!

DJ Bill Bara did our music for our wedding ceremony and our reception, he was wonderful! We had only given him what we wanted to be played for our song and the father daughter dance and the rest he came up with! Everything was perfect and he played a great variety of music that everyone loved.We would definitly recommend him to anyone looking for a good DJ!

awesome dj, everyone loved his music choices, asked us throughout night if we wanted anything in particular, played our requests immediately. Very professional and took charge of coordinating entire reception events. would definitely recommend his for any occasion.

Bill and Denise were amazing to work with and was so happy that I chose them as my dj for my special day! He was very out going and Denise was very helpful with everything else. I have strongly recommended him to other bride to and my friends that are getting married! He was into everything and had all my requests down pact. He was amazing and I couldn't thank Bill and Denise enough for everything they did for my special day. Thanks Bill and Denise!
