Steve Weideman, the owner of Dance Tracks DJ Service, was the DJ for our wedding. We found him on theknot.com and chose him because of his good reviews. While I cannot speak for th...e other DJs who work for this company, Steve was absolutely terrible.
My wife and I are both in the hospitality/service industry, and so, I believe we have a realistic idea of what to expect from a wedding vendor. Steve was everything a wedding DJ should not be. And while I could write a novel of criticism, the following are only a few of the many reasons I gave him the worst rating available:
- Several of our female guests were made to feel uncomfortable by the very inappropriate things Steve said, or by looks he gave.
- Steve spent more time away from his DJ both than he did behind it. At one point he left to change into a new, much too casual outfit.
- Steve constantly was pulling me and my wife aside to pester us with very unnecessary questions, and many times seemed bothered at even the slightest deviation from our timeline.
- Even after multiple practice runs of introducing the wedding party, he held us in line (in front of all of our guests) to practice our very simple names “one last time”. He then completely botched the whole thing by introducing people with incorrect names.
- Steve very rudely, and at the last minute, demanded a personal tent to cover his DJ booth since our wedding was outside. I understand that his equipment should be protected, but he should have his own tent. Fortunately our aunt had one for us to borrow. Had she not, Steve said he would have refused to service our wedding.
- Steve is also simply a terrible DJ. He brought zero excitement to the dance floor and played terrible music until people began requesting songs.
This list could go on forever, but the bottom line is DO NOT let Steve Weideman DJ an event for you!
