Lillian Farms Washington Texas
“We called Johnny Bravo because my brother has AMAZING things to say about his detailed work. Johnny DJ’d his wedding several years ago, and when I mentioned needing a DJ for my own wedding, he couldn’t stop bragging about Johnny Bravo’s mad skills. He was right! Johnny’s pre-planning was so helpful for a busy bride like me. And on our wedding day, it was so delightful to hear a professional on the mic and involving guests on the dance floor. He totally added a wonderful exuberance to our day. So. Much. Fun. Thank you!!! #SUPERFUN”

Katy High School
“Johnny is amazing, very professional and on top of his game. Your event is his event, he lets you know what would work and what you want to stay away from. His consulting and marketing before the event made sure we were in the black and not the red, definitely worth it! He goes out of his way to ensure your event is one that will be talked about for weeks to come, we have hired him for 4 straight years for every event. He has a process of transitioning music and keeping students on the dance floor all night. Students really enjoyed themselves at Homecoming and at Prom. Johnny Bravo is amazing! #Homecoming, #Prom”

“Thank you so much Johnny Bravo for DJing my husband 50th Birthday party at Saks 5115 in the Galleria. The crowd was dancing and having the time of their lives. I don’t get to hang out with my friends because of our busy travel schedule, yet you made sure the evening of dancing and great music was perfect! From the choice of music, to the meeting at the event location, set up and clean up everything with Johnny went smoothly!!! Johnny took control of the dance floor making the evening so much fun which allowed me to relax and not worry. We can not wait to have you DJ/Host our next event.”

“Johnny Bravo helped me with our beauty pageants for over 10 years and his attention to the big picture of our production is important to me and also to Johnny! He has hosted so many events and beauty pageants for me and my team he has always shown respect, courtesy and a great creative mind towards our overall production value. Our beauty pageant contestant have always raved about his ease on stage and how comfortable he makes the girls and guests feel on and off stage. Johnny is my favorite host for my international and local pagaents, he has always arrived prepared for the event and even when he is on stage during the question and answer portion of my shows he seems to always ask appropriate and timely questions! Johnny B is the man!“

Wedding at The Alden in Downtown Houston
“My wife Lindsay and I could not be happier with our DJ selection of Johnny Bravo for our wedding. Our wedding was on 7/30/11 in downtown Houston at The Alden hotel, and the dedication and great service from Johnny B started on the day we decided to go with him as our DJ. Two months prior to our wedding Johnny B started preparing and inquiring with us about our likes/dislikes and the overall feel we wanted at our wedding. Johnny B’s attention to detail continued all the way up to the end of our reception at The Alden; from our pre-wedding consultation to finalize every last detail all the way to the college pride dances dedicated to our respective universities. Lindsay and I, as well as all 200 of our wedding guests were highly impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DJ Johnny Bravo to anyone planning a special event. WOW, what a great DJ!”

“For Cy Lakes High School’s first Senior Prom, we were very impressed with Johnny’s experience and overall delivery to ensure that our students had the time of their lives. He did a great job inquiring what types of music the kids would enjoy and provided music at the prom that kept every student on the dance floor. Our students were STILL talking about what a great time they had at their prom days after the event. Johnny did a wonderful job and we will definitely work with him again in the future!”

He had awesome suggestions and has a wealth of music and event knowledge. We had a blast at our reception and didn’t have to worry about a thing, Johnny’s charisma is infectious and his timing on track. Our family and guests danced and danced for hours! We highly recommend him as a DJ for your special event.”
