Bay Area Goodtime Wedding Djs - Karaoke & Photo Booth

Hired this company to DJ for our wedding, and though their rates were cheaper, we got what we paid for. Prior to the wedding, we had a very difficult time getting responses in email communications with Mark. Both us and our coordinator would need to send multiple emails over the course of weeks to get a response, and information on timing and coordination would not get through. We also got a call the Tuesday the week of the wedding saying that he had not received any of our forms, but we had submitted them literally months before on his platform that he made. Our biggest complaint is the day of the wedding, every song would play in it's entirety. This was unusual in a dance setting where a 4+ minute song would play all the way through. When we asked about it, we were told they did not have the software to blend songs together, which I assumed to be a core job of a DJ. They essentially put on a playlist that we had built and called it a day. This was further evidenced by finding that more often than not the DJ was away from equipment in other rooms during the dace section. This was highly disappointing. On more minor notes, they also failed to follow some of the playlist instructions that we provided through their own website. This included playing a different song for opening the dance floor, filtering genres of music we had added because of the age group, playing only clean-editted songs through no request of ours, and playing songs we specifically requested to save while the bride and groom were present while we were outside taking photos. They also failed to loop the song the bride was coming out to so there were ~10 seconds of silence when the song should have been playing (which was a pretty big portion of the bridal entrance) We have tried to reach out since the event to address these issues multiple times and have heard nothing back. I would feel comfortable endorsing them for providing sound equipment, but the actual DJ services were lacking.

Julien DJ'd our wedding. He was great! We had made some spur-of-the-moment decisions that shortened the time we had for dancing, but Julien played all our big requests and more as well as a spontaneous request from the bride. In the planning process, Mark was very responsive and easy to work with. The week before the wedding, Mark and Julien called me together to confirm all the details.

Mark DJ'd our wedding earlier this year and did a fabulous job! He is very professional and reliable, and came looking very classy and put together. He was helpful and answered a lot of my questions, and helped us to create a plan of what songs we wanted to play for key parts beforehand. He did a great job playing what we requested and he even sang for a few songs which was an awesome surprise for us. I actually mistook his voice for Elvis at one point. Everyone loved it and he really got everyone out on the dance floor. You could tell he was very experienced at setting the mood and reading the audience. And he did a great job working with our coordinator to announce everything at the right times. The person who ran the photo booth that he partnered with was great too. I highly recommend good time DJ.

I'd highly recommend Goodtime DJ's. We hired them for a wedding reception and Mark did a great job reading the room, understanding the vibe we were looking for and really got the guests involved in the fun. If we had to do it all over again we would absolutely hire Goodtime DJ's! The best!!
