I'm not sure what happened between our first call with the DJ and the second. We really liked his vibe on the first call, but after that he was difficult to get in touch with and ...
didn't return our calls. The day of the music was awesome--the playlist was perfect. But during the course of the event he didn't listen to our wedding coordinator when it was time for certain things--like cake cutting and we had to have the father of the bride intervene. He insulted our photographers--who were the sweetest people and did an amazing job. Just overall, I wasn't impressed with his professionalism.
Joe was absolutely awesome as our DJ for our wedding. From our initial discussions to the big day he was so knowledgeable about the songs we chose and the flow of the day. We provi...

ng and he came to the venue with us and our coordinator to determine where a good set up would be a month before, on his own time without us asking him! The music flowed perfectly throughout the night and we were surprised at how many people were dancing. Everyone keeps raving about how great the music was and how it truly made the night. We were worried about the sound with our dances outside, but it was perfect. He played the songs we requested (even had songs that went perfectly with our type) and played the few my mom asked to be played. We highly recommend Joe!! Plus he was beyond reasonably priced!!
