Currently in the process of taking him to small claims court. Everybody knows how stressful planning a wedding can be let alone when it came to covid. Needless to say when we booked him we paid him full everything was going good until covid was full-blown, restrictions were going crazy, family members kept getting sick passing away everything was beginning to be too much. Then some of my vendors started getting sick n were having to back out so we made the decision in January 2021 if to temporarily cancel our wedding that was supposed to take place October 30th 2021. Per our contract you had to give at least 30 days notice in writing and you would receive your refund here it is November 2022 still waiting on that refund. He has told us multiple times it was in the mail, then it was he was out of town dealing with Family Estate problems, then he was in the hospital with covid every single time a different excuse until finally he just stopped responding. I should say during this duration he changed his business name on Facebook multiple times and every time I would contact him through his new Facebook business page he would take the page down. He wouldn't respond to text calls nothing so now we have to go to court so do yourself a favor save yourself to stress because if something comes up and God forbid you have to cancel your wedding you will never get your money back stay away.
I would like to start this review out stating that John sent a very good DJ out to DJ our wedding since he was unable to make it himself.
I would not, however, ever recommend his services due to the way that he acts himself when faced with conflict. Long story short, we rented his photo booth out, it was raining, the attendant Amy was not willing to communicate with us regarding where her booth could go and decided to pack everything up and leave without saying a word to anyone but the DJ while also not rendering any of the services we paid for. When emailed multiple times for a refund, we never received a word back from him. After feeling defeated, I turned to the reviews to see if this had happened to anyone else. Much to my surprise, it happens to a lot of customers of his.
If you want the DJ you hire sending someone else out because he won’t actually be there himself, having a photo booth attendant with a bad attitude that may or may not render any services, and never getting a partial refund that you requested for services you paid for yet didn’t receive, John Davis from Davis Entertainment is your guy. Please heed this warning because I have read every review out there on him and they all have the same underlying issues listed above.
If you are okay taking a risk, ask for DJ Barney. He was the one that DJ’d our wedding and was a peach. He did a fantastic job and I 10/10 would recommend him.
I can’t really say anything about his job as a DJ since we had to end up cancelling his services but what I can say is that he does not run a trustworthy business. 6 months since cancelling, doing everything by his contract and still no refund like promised. Have already been to small claims court and nothing. Basically out the money now because he is a dishonest vendor. Don’t waste your time scheduling with him bc if for some reason you have to cancel you will never get your money back.
John was awesome. He couldn’t have done a better job. He was able to get everyone out dancing, professional, yet fun and laid back. His wife did our bar tending also, she was just as amazing!
John and his DJ expertise are top notch! He was our DJ for our New Years Eve wedding and he kept the dance floor packed all night! He has worked in the wedding industry for a long time and is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of a wedding, he makes you feel at ease when working with him. I can't say enough good things about Davis Entertainment!
Highly recommended! Did an amazing job and the price is right! You won’t be disappointed!!!
Wedding DJ - FIVE STARS!! We recently got married and hired Davis Entertainment to be our DJ at the reception! The DJ was AMAZING! Not only was the dance floor full the entire night but the DJ seamlessly introduced and transitioned into the different event rituals - for instance the flower and garter toss, the cake cutting etc. The light show and light treatments were top notch!!! The communication beforehand was perfect, great communication even via email, quickly responds! Felt at ease the entire process! Highly Highly recommend!
We went with Davis Entertainment because it seemed like a great deal. Was not able to meet beforehand because of distance between us but with testimonials on his website I felt safe. Two days before the wedding John called saying he had to have surgery on his mouth and that Chris would be our DJ. I was fine with this and didn't think anything of it until I just read the below reviews! Luckily my husband and I didn't have any issues. Chris was great and made sure he played what our guest were requesting. There were a lot of slow songs which got on my nerves and he brought a girl with him that he seemed "more" interested in, but otherwise he was a great DJ for the price!
We found John Davis on Thumbtack and got a great deal with him. He was very easy to deal with. We met him at his house and were very comfortable with him and were looking forward to everything he had promised. Three days before the wedding, I got a call from his employee Chris who said that he was going to be our DJ - which John had not told us. John had said HE was going to be our DJ, which made us very confident. Chris had no idea of any of our details that had been gone over with John days before. The first time I met Chris was the day of the wedding . He showed up with a piercing in his nose, and his girlfriend - who we were not told would be there. Luckily we had a lot of people not show up. We went over the order of people to be introduced when he and I had talked on the phone days before, and then again before announcing them, and he still managed to forget to announce my husband's sister, who was being announced in place of his parents. He did not play good music until half way through the night and the dance floor was empty for a very long time, aside from the three kids under 5. At the end of the event, he took his shirt off and tore down his equipment in his beater tank top. Totally unprofessional. I would not use them again.
I originally hired John to DJ my wedding for May 2014. Three days prior to the event, I received a voice mail from him, stating that he would not be my DJ because he had to have emergency surgery. I understand that things happen, but we hired John because we were most confident with him, as the owner, doing the job. He tried to replace himself with someone he admitted was not his second choice, but someone that would do a good job. That put us even less at ease, but we decided to attempt to meet with this other person in the midst of the busy wedding week. That replacement person was impossible to reach, and after a whole day of attempts, we decided to ask John about a refund. After an entire day of unanswered phone calls, John finally answered in the early evening and told us that actually he COULD DJ the wedding because as it turned out, nothing was wrong. I expressed great worry, due to him thinking he was so sick earlier that day that he needed surgery. Before I even had the chance to ask for a refund, John VOLUNTEERED the refund and stated that he'd "cut a check" as soon as he got home. This put my mind at ease, at least for the time being, and we both agreed that was probably best for him and myself. So I went on to frantically book someone from a different company, assuming that I would get my money back.
Fast forward to a couple days after the wedding. I'm on my honeymoon, and through a phone call with my mom, I learned that we had yet to receive anything from John. So I called him. He said he'd already sent it. Fast forward a couple more days. No refund, no answers to our calls. More days pass, no answers to phone calls. A couple weeks after the wedding, I call from a friends phone, and I get a hold of John. He tells me he sent me a MONEY ORDER to my old address (that had already been corrected with him in a previous meeting, and we've even recieved mail from him at our new address!) He says he'll watch for it to come back and he'll take care of it. If he is a reputable company, why would he send a money order? Well, because it can't be traced, that's why.
More days pass with phone calls that he doesn't answer. About a month or so after the wedding, my husband calls John on his way home from work. Shockingly, he answers. Husband asks about the refund, and John says he's going to send it to my parents address! Husband asks if he can just come to pick it up instead, and John agrees, but says he's out of town until two days later. So of course, many more phone calls go unanswered and we are still here without a refund. Lies, lies, lies. We are now contemplating legal action.
The DJ Company that we used was Davis Entertainment. They were one of the cheapest DJ’s that I found in the area (half the price of what Black Tie Productions quoted us). The DJ was really good; he played all the songs that we wanted and had a good range of music from music played now and some songs that got the older generations up and dancing too. He was not an annoying DJ who talks the whole night but he let people know when important activities were going on. He had a really nice laser light show too!
The only negative thing that I could say is that the person who I talked to on the phone was not the DJ that we had the night of the wedding, and we were supposed to have a fog and a bubble machine but he did not bring it. Not a deal breaker that we didn’t have it but it would have been nice to have. Maybe more communication on their part and it would have been perfect.
You know the old stand by, you get what you pay for?
Well I guess I should have just listened to that.
John met with us in his home- fine saves on having an actual office. I figured that's why he was able to have such low costs, no overheard.
Anyway, he offered us an "incredible" deal of $500 to DJ and Officiate our wedding.
I selected him mostly because he told me I could write my own service and as long as he had it a month in advance he could memorize most of it.
I tried to get it to him 6 months in advance. The email on his business cards didnt work, the phone number on it didn't either. This was scary as I had already paid him in full. I went back to his website and found a new one, called him up, he gave me a new email, which also didn't work. And then the same phone I called on didn't work either.
Finally I got ahold of him and gave him my info about a month and half before the wedding. We set up the remainder of our meetings, he told me I would hear from him in a week for the rehearsal.
The day before the rehearsal my now husband called him and told where to go and when to be there since we hadn't heard from him. He replied that I didn't tell him I needed him for one and he was busy.
At the last second he appeared and was able to conduct the rehearsal. The next at the wedding everything seemed to be in order. The plan was set and being carried out.
I get down the aisle and he opens his mouth and the MAN CANNOT READ. It's as if he never looked at our ceremony. He stumbled over words to a noticeable point and everyone in the room thought he was mentally challenged by the way he conducted the ceremony. He even skipped the part about asking the best man for the rings and then had to ad lib and put in traditional statements I did not want in my nontraditional ceremony.
As a DJ he was alright. If you want to use him as that and only that, do it. Especially if you do not need a big shot guy. But as an officiant, RUN FOR THE HILLS!
I got them on a online deal for 1/2 off. I got what i paid for. I think they sent along one of their less experienced DJs but he still did an ok job.
This DJ (John) was very attentive in the planning process and was very careful to ensure a happy bride! He went above and beyond at every opportunity and kept the dance floor packed and fun! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him - amazing service and a great price!
I was extremely pleased with the cost of the service however at the last minute the DJ I had expected to work with explained I would be workin with him employee. The day before my wedding I had redo my list of music. On the day of my wedding the DJ played songs I specifically asked not to have played and completely disregarded my rating system.
Played exactly the kind of music we wanted. We had Chris as our DJ (we were under the impression we were getting John, the owner, until a few days before when we were told Chris would be our DJ. Chris doesn't have as much experience as John so we were a little nervous but it turned out fine).
Adjusted the music to what the crowd wanted and people were happily dancing all night.
One downfall, I didn't like how they put out a tip jar and we did ask them to take it down.
He was very helpful in getting our song selection picked out. He also was there to help serve us during the dinner. He was at the table getting the bridal party what we needed. He played great music! Great businessman, would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone!
From our first conversation John reassured me that he would give us the wedding music we wanted and keep the dance floor busy. He played great ambient music during dinner and then really got the party started. The dance floor stayed busy all night and guests loved the music. We couldn't have been happier!
We could not have been more pleased with Chris and Davis Entertainment. Chris had his work cut out for him since we had an older crowd and small numbers to start with. But he kept everyone dancing long after our sore feet told us to stop!
The DJ was very good. He called before the wedding to double check the songs. The guests loved the request cards. Everyone had a great time!
