info_outlineBilly the disco maniac from BMG Sound joins DJ Benny and Laura to talk all things sound, lighting and effects for weddings.
Billy admits his Ferrero Rocher addiction as he spoils Benny with the chocolates.
Billy has years of experience, understanding sound systems in depth. Whether you have the huge banqueting room on small intimate space Billy can cater appropriately for your wedding.
Obsessed with disco balls, Billy is a shinning light for weddings (I couldn’t resist).
Rare for a DJ, BMG Sound is a team player, super conscious that the event is a wedding and a family day, Billy works with all suppliers to create the perfect outcome. Be it for your wedding photos, video, atmosphere and just smooth running of operations.
BMG Sound offer full day sound solutions. Ceremony sound system or music, drinks reception vinyl records, mega entrances, band alternative and traditional DJ slot.
Billy does not offer Balloons (Benny is very bold) but Billy is mad for getting CO2 cannons going at Irish Weddings.
BMG Sound very much has its own style, while collaborating with the couple for musical guidance Billy turns out DJ mixes of songs you love, without making the songs unrecognisable. Don’t stress, he still caters for granny. The genres and decades are all covered off through the many hours set.
A hiking legend 😊 Billy tells a great story of DJing at the top of Carrauntoohil.
Not to limit the fun, BMG Sound offers 360 video, selfie mirrors and all that type of fun stuff.
