All Requests Live

king process and days leading up to our wedding. We also booked our day of coordinator - Jenna, through ARL, and we absolutely LOVED Jenna. She did a fantastic job and honestly saved our wedding. She ended up being our DJ as well as coordinator and I cannot sing her praises enough. I'm so thankful we booked her because our wedding/reception would have been a mess without her. Our DJ - DJ Mark - was horrible from start to finish. I don't typically write this bad of a review for someone, but I honestly don't think he should ever DJ someone's event again... yes, it was THAT bad. First of all, he showed up and started setting up in the wrong area. Our coordinator had to correct him multiple times. Then, I heard from our guests that he couldn't get the speakers to work without causing a lot of noise. This was during the time that the live musicians were supposed to be playing as guests were being seated. and his speakers were screeching. The rest of the afternoon was one blunder after another - First, we requested that our first dance song be played immediately after we were introduced at the reception. This didn't happen- we had to stand on the floor awkwardly waiting as our day of coordinator jumped in to try to get our song to play. When it finally did play, it started half-way through, and we had to cut out half of our choreographed dance. Second, the DJ was supposed to dismiss tables to get food. Half the tables were dismissed, and then he wandered away from the DJ table and never dismissed the other half. Our guests had to find our coordinator to ask to be dismissed. Again, Jenna to the rescue, our coordinator dismissed the rest of the tables. Third, the dancing begins, I noticed Jenna was once again behind the DJ table helping to get that started. Some of the songs I had requested and asked that they be faded out after a minute or two... I looked over and the DJ was MIA again. Nowhere to be found. I found Jenna and she jumped back behind the DJ table to move through the songs. Fourth, and this is the main reason I don't believe DJ Mark should ever DJ again, he continuously tried to flirt and make inappropriate advances towards one of my friends. He made her feel extremely uncomfortable. The reason he was MIA during the dancing was because he was on the floor trying to get her to dance with him. His actions were extremely unprofessional, and I'm writing this review to make sure he's held accountable for his actions. Ultimately, Mark was not a DJ. He brought the sound equipment, but Jenna DJ'd our wedding. She did all the announcements (games, speeches, bridal party intro, etc.), she managed the songs and schedule, and she saved the day. Dave, please vet your DJ's better. If we had not hired Jenna through you to coordinate our wedding, I would be demanding a full refund, but Jenna deserves every penny of what we paid. She's a rockstar.

our special day. I was worried because coming from Hawaii I thought he may not be familiar with a lot of the music we asked for but he was very knowledgeable and did an amazing job! Dave executed all our special songs during the ceremony seamlessly without having practiced with us before.. which normally for a bride is such a scary thought! He played all the right music and tastefully and professionally declined a few of my guests’ requests for songs we put on “the no play list” 😅 thank you Dave for everything! You made our day so fun and perfect!

ding, he was great to talk with and very knowledgeable with so much event experience. We filled out the information form that included our must-play lists, do not plays, etc. On the day of, he showed up on time and was great with all of the announcements. He did a great job with our playlists. He also was great at getting our guests on the dance floor – for YMCA in particular, he got some of the kids (and kids who can normally be on the shy side) out on the floor and taught them the dance, which they ended up leading. It was really sweet and a lot of fun! We also worked with Dave for day-of planning services, and he introduced us to Jenna. We held off on that decision until we could confirm there would be enough room in our budget, and it was a wonderful decision for us. The cost was really reasonable and maybe the best money we spent, it was really reassuring to know that things would run smoothly and we could just enjoy the wedding. We met with Jenna in advance to talk about all of our plans, and then kept her in the loop once we started finalizing everything with the vendors. She attended our rehearsal, coordinated vendors, arranged our décor, and managed the timeline and announcements. She was very organized and responsive, and a calming presence on our wedding day. We are so grateful for all she did!

ey! We met once in person and all other communication was through email. There was no deposit and I sent the song list over 7 days before the actual wedding, very laid back! Dave arrived early, had all the equipment ready, and played good music the whole time. He took requests all night and was able to shut down requests for music that was on my 'no play' list. Overall, I was pleased and very happy with the price!
