Knight Flight Professional DJs

ng! The entire reason my husband and I had a wedding reception more than a year after our wedding was because we missed the party part! We hired knight flight with them fully knowing this, I also told them that I wanted to see them in action to make sure they were worth the money. They said that wouldn't be a problem but were difficult to get a hold of on times and places and in the end had such few shows I was unable to see them. (I have emails as proof of this, plus the numerous times I emailed them with NO response back.) The company also said they would send me information about wedding planning and things to think of for the day of... never got a thing in the mail or by email. I was also told 2 weeks to know who my DJ would be... less that 7 days was actually what I got. Fast forward to the day of... they raved about how the DJ would go to each table and introduce themselves... ours did not. The DJ played crappy music during appetizers and when I asked him to step it up, and that this wasn't a sleepy retirement party he told me he would... and never did. We also had each guest write on their RSVP cards what songs they wanted to hear... the DJ claimed that he never got the list... when the wedding planned took him aside and showed him the email he claimed to have seen it but didn't have any of those songs, and couldn't get them either. Once some people were on the dance floor, the DJ would start to get the part going... then would take horrible suggestions from young guests at the reception that didn't go and the floor would clear. I figured the expensive price was justification for me not needing to tell him how to do his job... so wrong. I suggested some Michael Jackson... or classics... he played one MJ song and it was a huge hit... but he didn't get it... kept playing the same junk after that. When I suggested more classics again he brought back more MJ... for a total of 3 times. The DJ spent lots of time building up the hype on the dance floor with ok songs, then would clear it with crap music... he didn't even seem to get that the floor was empty and I needed to tell him to quickly move to a different song. The most depressing part was the final 3 songs of our reception... he played an unheard of MC Hammer song and the floor cleared, yet again. In my long white dress, I stood in the middle of the dance floor yelling for guests not to leave... he would play something good and that the night was almost over. Guests stood motionless in the middle of the dance floor waiting for the DJ to play something worth dancing to... this took several long minutes. Three times the music stopped entirely with a long pause... floor cleared yet again. Several guests even commented that the DJ sucked! So embarrassing! When I contacted the owner of knight flight he gave me the blow off about his DJ and blamed my wedding planner for the issues... said that he needed an email with my concerns... offered no help... and certainly no refund. Bottom line... we were not impressed! UPDATE: After writing this review the owner sent me a rude email where he openly said that my RSVP cards were a poor idea, and attached the information that proved him getting the RSVP song list... he was wrong again!

d a sample schedule of how the reception should go and listed the different events that usually takes place. I found this super helpful! At the wedding, he was good about playing the appropriate music and when a song wasn’t getting people on the dance floor, he changed it quickly to something more popular. He did a wonderful job of mixing the wide variety of music genres that people on both sides of the family like. Overall, I would definitely recommend them as a wedding DJ. I was completely happy with the service I received.

ed than current popular songs so my suggestion is to work that out with your DJ on the front end to make sure they know what you want. It does get the older crowd up and dancing but can be a little boring for the rest of the guests after a while. Once my BM asked him to play more current songs, a few more were scattered in. I would recommend them though - they did great!

e floor which is the whole point. There are only a couple of reasons I wouldn't give 5 stars. For my walk down the aisle, I chose Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof. He played it, but it wasn't the movie version which was what I had wanted. Also, after our designated speech givers had given their speeches, he put my groom on the spot to give a speech without warning. This may seem minor but he has a fear of public speaking and I felt really bad for him for being ambushed like that. We did the cake cutting right afterwards, and he was still feeling the anxiety so it kind of ruined that moment for us. If I could do it again, I would have prepared a larger play (and do not play) list. I kind of kept it open for guest requests which resulted in some dumb choices (Vanilla Ice? The Train by Quad City DJ's? Ew). But the energy of our reception was really good and he did run things really efficiently. There were no dead spots in the action for sure.

ast min changes. If you want the best DJ in town use Knight Flight!

ests, really got the people going...but he was so helpful and affordable!! By far beats any prices!! And he was so much fun! He did these really fun things with the garter toss! It was so creative and so much fun:) I really couldn't say enough good things about him :) He made our wedding a blast! Thanks Russ!!!

u so much Russ! We will definitely be recommending you to our friends and if we have an event in the future, you will be the first person we call! Marcus and Candice

dding 20 years ago and everyone at the wedding had so much fun, that I decided if I ever got married again, he would be my DJ. Thirteen years later, he was the DJ at my wedding and the comments and compliments from our friends and family were OUTSTANDING! To this day, our friends still talk about how much FUN they had at our wedding and how many people were out on the dance floor for the entire night! Even people who don't usually get out on the dance floor were out there. The way he “gets the party going and keeps it going” is a true art form. He is not only a superb DJ, but a true Master of Ceremonies, taking charge of the events and keeping it fresh, entertaining and so fun!!! Next February my daughter is getting married and we will be using Russ Knight again and we already know it will be a BLAST! It is so true that your guests probably won’t remember a lot of details about your reception, but they will remember what a great time they had and how much fun your reception was! KNIGHT FLIGHT DJ's ARE THE BEST!!!

s incredibly talented & funny too! It was nice to laugh, dance & be relieved of EVERYTHING because he truly is the MASTER OF CEREMONIES! The night was smooth & seamless. I recommend Knight Flight to everyone!! Not only is he easy to work with in the planning process, but he knows how to ROCK THE HOUSE!

d such fitting music. A few notes about Knight Flight as a whole though. First, they really need to work on their response times. We would send them an email or call and wouldn't hear back for weeks. At one point, they said they didn't get our deposit even though the check had already cleared. They may want to invest in an administrative professional to help keep them organized. Also, you don't know who your dj is until a week before the wedding unless you pay to reserve someone specific. This is all well and great for their logistics, but we didn't get to actually meet our dj until we walked in the door before the ceremony. Not good in my book. Overall, we were really happy with the quality of the dj and the price is phenomenal for Phoenix.

.... Some of there comments were "Holy crap that was the best DJ ever!", "I have never been to a wedding with such an awesome DJ!", our photographers who attend weddings every weekend said "Your DJ was the best we have seen yet!" Why is Knight Flight so awesome: They take the time to organize your play list both for the ceremony and reception They will create special re-mixes at your request...(our entrance to the reception was the superman theme song with our names edited in) They complete take over the line of events so the bride and groom have to nothing but enjoy themselves They add awesome surprises in the reception that freakin hilarious!!! Planning my wedding was extremely difficult and stressful... One of the best decisions we made was going with Knight Flight ... They took care of the planning for the entertainment completely!!!! Thanx again for helping make our day FREAKIN ROCK!!!!!!!!

thly as possible. He was very enthusiastic and was able to keep the party going for hours!

ces. The music was the perfect volume not too loud & good quality. We were very happy with our dj

to be played at a specific time and it wasn't but I may not have communicated it well enough. Make sure to be very clear about your requests.

friends were asking where we found him because they liked the music so much. I would recommend them to anyone.

oon Dance during the reception (although we had talked about it and planned on it).
