We hired DJ connections knowing we would not meet our DJ until the day of the wedding and yes it did give me anxiety because we had met with all our other vendors before hiring them but after two previous friend’s wedding, we loved what we saw ...and heard that we had to hire them. Plus, we had all sorts of discounts that allowed us to hire them for our big day and still stay within our overall budget! I also want to mention, from previous comments I have seen – I was never given a “nickname” or called other than my own name “Mikyla” and when I e-mailed them with questions throughout the planning process I received a reply within 24 hours if a weekday.
About one week from the wedding date I had a final phone meeting discussing timeline and who my DJ was going to be. We rated our event from 1-10 a 7/10 (how much involvement and crazy haha you want them to be) and it was exactly what we wanted wedding day. I want to send major kudos to our DJ from DJ connections, Matt (Rhodes?). He was dressed professionally, we heard him loud and clear without covering our ears during the reception, he was super attentive and worked super well with our day-of-coordinator, he played the songs we wanted and he avoided the songs we did not want played, he even was super accommodating when my dad placed a honeymoon fund lantern for people to donate to our honeymoon at the DJ table (a Filipino tradition – although dad wanted the money pinned to my dress like Filipino style but I was not about to let that happen ahah so he settled for a lantern, which our DJ mentioned to donate throughout the night). I believe DJ connections mentioned Matt has been with the company for 7+ years and he is phenomenal! Throughout the night, he made it about us, for example right before a special event (i.e. garter toss) he would say, “Alright everybody, give it up for our bride and groom, Mikyla and Ian”)! I LOVED that he did this because throughout the night we would get claps and cheers over and over again! Matt with DJ Connections was definitely everything we wanted in a DJ. Our experience with DJ connections was a GREAT one and Matt was exceptional!
