We hired DJ Cutt Entertainment for our wedding in September 2024. We purchased our package and began working with the owner, Alex Ramey.
WARNING: Before you sign the contract with DJ Cutt, ask who will be your assigned DJ and ask to interview them!
Our experience with Alex started out really well. We worked with him to identify the music for the ceremony and the reception. We submitted all music requests and playlists as required. The day of the wedding, a different DJ arrived completely unprepared for our wedding. He told us he had not reviewed any of our information, and he couldn't remember our names. The DJ did not play the correct music during the ceremony and did not introduce the wedding party correctly, fumbling multiple names. As the evening ensued, he was rude to our guests and brought his own beer into our venue, which prohibited outside alcohol.
For our first dance, we had taken dance lessons and rehearsed a lot so we were prepared for the big day. Our DJ informed us he didn't know what the song was and really didn't see what the big deal was if he played a different song. Our maid of honor stepped in to ensure the appropriate music was played and assisted him in downloading all our music.
The DJ did such a poor job emceeing the wedding that our maid of honor's husband took over and did a wonderful job. While our evening was memorable for all the right reasons, do yourself a favor and KNOW who will be arriving at your wedding!
Extremely professional, timely and on top of it. Our DJ was fantastic, he was flexible and played the songs we requested and kept the party going on the dance floor! DJ Cutt Entertainment was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend!
Extremely frustrating communication. I want to start by saying the my husband I still had a fabulous wedding. There were very few things to go wrong but the ones that did were in relation to the DJ not doing some of the big items we spoke about prior to the wedding day. We filled out a survey that had details for every piece of the day, we had multiple meetings leading up and emails back and forth. Most of these were answered with responses such as "got it" (no punctuation or capitalization), I figured he was busy but confident and understood what we wanted. Now I feel that he never really listened and just gave confident answers to move on quicker. We tried to respectfully bring up the issues that were missed on our wedding day despite us writing them in the survey and/or discussing it in meetings and were met with the same dismissive responses that pushed us off for weeks at a time until we would send check in emails to make sure he actually did respond. When we got responses to our issues they were explaining how we could've done more on the day of the wedding or searching around our portal to find answers ourselves instead of taking any ownership himself.
We just wanted to give feedback and understand where communication was lost and hopefully help other couples and it took almost 2 months to receive any real responses to our issues and all of them were defensive and honestly rude when we tried to be nothing but respectful. I wanted to give benefit of the doubt before writing this review but after the frustrating exchange we had, I hope no one else has to experience that if they don't have to.
We used Alex and DJ Cutt for his Cold Spark indoor spark making devices as part of our reception and they were terrific. This is newer to many venues and he was willing to meet with our venue (Amaterra Winery) to demonstrate them and show the venue that these were in fact cold and were not a fire concern. He worked with us on placement in the reception area and exact timing for when we wanted the sparks to go off. Alex also was very professional and worked with our actual DJ (John Ross) and the coordination of the sparks. He also worked with the DJ on a special surprise the groom had planned for the bride. The two vendors worked together seamlessly to ensure the surprise went off flawlessly and went better than the groom could have hoped. We were so happy with the Cold Sparks and professionalism of Alex.
DJ Cutt was professional and on time, his presence during the reception was discreet, his announcements did not feel overbearing or distracting from the emotions present at any of the moments of the day, the sound quality was excellent during the ceremony and reception, and they were able to effortlessly coordinate with our live music during the ceremony as well. My only critique is that they did not mix in many of our song requests and in general, the music seemed to be from a pretty generic playlist where we had hoped for something a bit more personalized. But overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely recommend this vendor.
We hired DJ Cutt for our 2021 Hood River wedding. He was professional and on time. Had every guest dancing! We had a blast.
My wife and I would highly recommend DJ Cutt as the DJ for any wedding! Alex did an excellent job of not only keeping the dancefloor alive and excited, but also did a good job throughout the course of the entire day (ceremony, reception, etc) at MCing the event. Throughout the planning process, Alex was extremely professional, communicative, and organized, making sure that we were aligned on exactly what we were wanting at each moment, what sort of music, and how to communicate. On the day of the wedding, Alex did a great job MC’ing and was flexible with last minute schedule changes.
Most importantly though, Alex did a fantastic job DJing the dance floor! He combined both western and Bollywood songs to give us the fusion feeling that we were looking for, and all of our guests had a wonderful time. From the start of the dancing until the final song, there was barely anyone standing on the side due to how high the energy level was!
Music and song is critical to your wedding day, and DJ Cutt did a great job of making it special for us.
DJ Cutt knows what he is doing and is great at it! The music is always the most important part of the reception and I was blown away at how well he appealed to the mix of ages and individuals at our wedding! His constant upbeat attitude and energy brought everybody out to the dance floor, even my uncle was out there dancing! Alex was super responsive to the last minute time changes we had to make to accommodate the photographers and overall was extremely professional. I recommended him to my friends wedding and am excited to hear him play again!
Alex was the best! From the moment we met with him, he was always professional and knew exactly what he was talking about, both in terms of how to ensure that there were always a ton of people on the dance floor, as well as playing the songs that we wanted to hear. DJs and more importantly, the music, can really make or break the event, but he really went above and beyond to make sure the speeches flowed seamlessly, and he also went out of his way to work with a special guest we had perform a song at the reception. Additionally, he provided excellent lighting, which really made the dance floor pop! So many of our guests came up to me during and after the wedding to say how much they enjoyed the music. He also provided a photo booth, with props geared towards our theme (it was a British + American wedding), and those photos will be treasured forever. Alex is the best - we cannot recommend him more and we would definitely work with him again!
Would absolutely NOT use this DJ. When we tried to discuss with him the issues after the wedding of things promised and not delivered properly - he ghosted us! He would not return our repeated attempts to contact him after the wedding was over. He simply avoided the after conversation to work things out and instead chose just not to reply. Incredibly unacceptable customer service!
(The father/daughter dance was cut off, the songs were not the agreed upon start times, the lighting package was not as we ordered, and the list goes on.) NO WAY I'd hire this DJ again!
We loved working with DJ Cutt! He is incredibly professional, offers a ton of music selection, and truly plays and important role in your big day. I would say to those planning a wedding-- take the time to fill out his music questionnaire. It will make your day that much better when your favorite songs come out on the dance floor! We got married two weeks ago and are still reliving moments on the dance floor with our loved ones. Thank you, DJ Cutt!!
