Chad was very confident during our meetings and we were excited to have him be our DJ and have his photo booth at our wedding...unfortunately, this quickly changed. We ended up VERY DISAPPOINTED!
CONS
1. Chad stated that he was going to atten...d our rehearsal and help us get the timing right for everyone walking down the aisle...he did not show up and did not communicate with us that he would not be there. He never addressed this with us.
2. The music for the ceremony was messed up with people walking down the aisle to the wrong song. Also, music started playing briefly in the middle of the ceremony (that's not supposed to happen!)
3. While the guests were finding their seats and I was taking photos the Father/Daughter dance song was playing...this should not have played at this time!!
4. While having dinner, when people clinked their glasses to have us kiss, Chad stated that he would find out who started the clinking and ask them to share a story about the bride and groom. We were so excited about this fun idea....he NEVER did this, not once!
5. After spending hours choosing music for the reception, barely any of the songs on our "Must Play" list were played and one song from our "Do Not Play" list was played.
6. Chad was suppose to dedicate a song to my mom. He said he would call her out onto the dance floor before he played it. He did not do this; he played the song, but never dedicated it to her.
7. It was never announced that the photo booth was our guest book...sad we barely had anyone sign it :(
8. We had an entire list of requested songs by guests...barely any of those were played. It seemed as though he just played whatever songs he already had.
PROS
1. He got the timing of songs right...example- the time during a song when I wanted other fathers/daughters to join the dance floor with me and my dad.
2. The lighting was good...I liked the uplights that were added to the room.
3. The photo booth was unique, an "open air" one with good props.
So...we were super bummed out and still think about all of these things...even 2.5 months later. We spent A LOT of money on our wedding, including this DJ service, and it's sad that this it what is remembered.
