"I used Cory's services (piano playing, DJ-ing, MC-ing, and finding/scheduling two singers) for my daughter's wedding in May, 2023. He was fantastic!!! Our wedding planners had worked with him previously and gave him their recommendation. Prior to the wedding/reception he fielded my MANY emails with helpful responses. He's worked with soloist/singers that he could schedule for me. I was a little unsure of hiring someone to sing whom I'd never heard in person, but I trusted Cory. During the reception several people made it a point to compliment me on the singers. I felt like Cory's goal was to do what he could to make my daughter's day special. Thank you, Cory. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family."

"Such a great musician and DJ!"
"Cory is the best! He did the music at our ceremony and was the DJ at our reception. He met with us beforehand and was great at communicating. He gives great suggestions while also allowing the ceremony to feel unique and special. He works really well with several other vendors around the area. We highly recommend Cory for any event you may be planning!"

"Cory is the ultimate professional and the nicest person you will ever meet! Our daughter and son-in-law had Cory provide a variety of services on their wedding day and he was fantastic! He provided piano music during their ceremony and during the dinner hour and light background music during the cocktail hour. During the reception, he served as master of ceremonies and provided a fun array of music for everyone to enjoy! He is very attentive to the couple's wants and needs and is happy to offer ideas and suggestions. He is excellent to work with! I highly recommend Cory if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding and reception."

"Cory was awesome! He played piano for our ceremony and dinner hour and found a violinist to play with him. They played the songs I requested for my ceremony and cory DJ'ed through the night. If you want something different for your wedding or a pianist, Cory is the way to go!"

"Cory was AMAZING to work with! He was so professional and responsive. He made sure our reception flowed well and went off without a hitch. Cory played live piano during our cocktail hour and part of dinner. Our guests loved this and so did we! We also added uplighting to our bundle and are glad we did. It was a great touch. If you haven’t booked him for you wedding, DO IT. You won’t regret it! Can’t say enough good things about our experience!"

"Cory was amazing to work with! He messaged and emailed back in a timely manner. He also provided a google doc to fill out with all of the reception details. Not to mention, he is a talented pianist and played during our cocktail hour. He was super flexible, as we were running way ahead of schedule! He also played “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, when we revealed the gender of our baby girl! He arranged for set up with hotel, which took something off of my plate! I would recommend Music By Cory Brown to everyone!!"

"Cory was great to work with from the very beginning. He meet with us virtually to get to know us and to discuss our vision for our ceremony and reception. He captured our ideas we had for our big day and was able to guide and suggest us to what we needed. He was extremely professional and a pleasurer to work with. Our music (and the light show) really helped elevate the ceremony and reception and the dance floor was never empty start to finish. He was a great MC and keeping the flow of our ceremony and reception and highly recommend him for you wedding!"

​"Cory was absolutely wonderful to work with! He is incredibly musically talented in addition to being a wonderful DJ and MC. He played during our ceremony in our church (both organ and piano) in addition to playing piano during our cocktail ceremony and being the DJ and MC during our reception. We were happy to be able to hire someone to do it all! He is extremely professional and easy to work with. He is very detail oriented and accommodating. He worked with us to ensure we would have everything go the way we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He did a great job avoiding our "do not play" list at the reception and kept the party/dancing going all night! He was a wonderful MC as well, NEVER awkward or obnoxious. We hired him to travel about 1.5 hours away, and he even took the time to travel and check out the church and reception sites beforehand to ensure the day would go smoothly. We fully trusted him to do a great job and he did not disappoint! Overall, we highly recommend working with Music by Cory Brown. The planning process will go smoothly, you will have beautiful music, and your guests will have a wonderful time! We could not recommend Cory more! He is awesome."
