From the moment we reached out to Michael and Michelle from A Better DJ and Photographer our wedding planning became so much easier. They had great communication and were able to exceed all of our hopes and dreams. Michelle, the Photographe...

r was on point and arrived almost an hour early to the venue and started shooting right away. She was so open and honest and had a great eye. Not to mention she was full of unique ideas to make the wedding pop. Micheal, the DJ had everyone dancing all night. He was full of energy and that energy spread to the dance floor and wow, I couldn't express how moved we were by his professionalism and dedication to our wedding ceremony and reception. Micheal was also doing videography. Before we ever said I do, he walked us through how everything would go. I cannot wait to see it all. As soon as we signed the contract, we were sent planners and guides that made planning so much easier. They had everyone laughing and enjoying the time, so much we never wanted it to end. I 100% recommend them to any bride/Groom. You will not be disappointed. I honestly have never seen a DJ company do all of what they did for us, at any other event. Thank you Micheal and Michelle for making our wedding a hit. We will never forget it.

Warning to brides: stay away from A Better DJ and Photographer Florida & Nationwide Experience was horrible. DJ made so many mistakes, did not act as “coordinator” of the day as stated in the contract (waited on other people to tell him timing...

s even though all timings were discussed beforehand, causing a thirty minute loss of our 3 hour (already short) reception, and coming up to us asking us to choose which special preplanned things to cut bc there wasn’t enough time, denying all of this afterwords, blaming us for all this afterwards). All this led to us thinking of our wedding and being sad/regretful/disappointed-who wants to feel that way when reminiscing about their wedding. When contacted the owner, he was unsympathetic. He emailed his DJ, attached the DJs responses, sent them back to me and said, “call me tomorrow [during work hours that he knew we wouldn’t be able to call him bc we already gave him a time frame for a whole week of our available hours] if you think there’s anything else that needs to be discussed.” Clearly thinks it’s settled, clearly doesn’t want to help, chooses to believe his DJ over our detailed account, and thinks that’s it. If I were to call him, his mind is already made up, so it’d be (more) of a waste of our time. Services promised in contract and payed for were not rendered. Don’t waste your money, and avoid have a wedding you are gonna be sad about after. What do I have to gain by saying this? Don’t hire.

This is the last review we got on Zach on WeddingWire. Tracie Q. , married on 05/08/2021 5.0 View more "He made the event so much fun 10/10 would recommend. They offer a ton of dofferenr services. Their wedding day checklist was a lofe saver....

They were professional but very fun. He checked in a lot to make sure things were going how I wanted. I cant say enough good things." DJ Zach has probably done over 1500 weddings and over 100 weddings for us, and we have never had a complaint from a single client. Many of them have contacted us to say what an exceptional job he did! After we receive a deposit from our clients we email a very easy to use timeline planner along with instructions that help plan the day and instructions for the DJ to run the reception. One of the things stressed on the planner that is extremely important is to "assign someone to cue the DJ." Although it would be wonderful if everything was right on time for a ceremony and reception, it very rarely happens, so it is crucial for someone to cue the DJ to start the music when the bridal party is ready to come down the aisle for the ceremony and also when they are ready to be lined up for introductions when they are finished with their photographer. We cannot start the music for timed events unless we know that everyone is ready. In this case nobody cued the DJ until 10 minutes after the scheduled start time. Since they were in another room he had no way of knowing when they were ready until then. 3 hours is a very short time for a reception. By the time you subtract the time for introductions, 1st dance, blessing, buffet dinner for 70 people, toasts, father daughter dance, mother son dance, garter, bouquet, cake cutting, and last dance, it does not leave much time for dancing or unusual added events. This bride did not contact us to complain for over a month after her wedding. She sent an email which I responded to as soon as possible (we were on a 2 week wedding road trip and were not online for much of it). We were not available for the suggested times for a phone call. Had she been patient until our schedules lined up for a call instead of this review we would have done whatever it took to make her satisfied. We would be happy to share the correspondences with prospective brides so you can judge for yourself. We've done over 15,000 wonderful weddings around the country. Visit our site for hundreds of great reviews! Tip for brides - Don't try to cram what should be a 5 hour ceremony and reception into 3 hours if you want to enjoy your celebration!
