DJ Gomez Entertainment

ance floor. Having said that, one might think that the DJ job would be easy just doing the ceremony and a bit of the reception. When i got to the venue i was told by the coordinator, staff and photographer that he was still setting up his equipment and the ceremony was delayed because “he didn’t know” he was supposed to do the ceremony even though it was discussed over the phone and he was even given a ceremony song list which brings me to my next issue. It was clear on the music list that he was supposed to play two songs. One song was for the whole bridal party before me (husband, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents) and the other was for just me (the bride). Well to my shock, i was seeing videos of my bridal party walking down to the song i was supposed to walk down to for everyone so it wasn’t special for my entrance. The only time he played the correct song was for my husband’s entrance but everyone after and before him was my song so I’m pretty bummed about that. I also gave him a list of song for the first dances. He got them all right except for my father daughter dance song. He played the song i wanted just the incorrect version. So when i told him the song, he played the song featuring someone else, so I’m sure my face was captured in the pictures of the shock. When i gave him my music list, he said he had a few questions but never asked them. Please make sure to communicate even if you have it typed up.

stress/anxiety I put into my wedding DJ. First, I admit I sent the timeline and music on Nov 3 and the wedding was Nov. 7 afternoon. Review: I emailed and texted DJ Carlos a couple months before the wedding asking if we could meet at the venue. Assuming, he wanted to understand the space and any electrical requirements. He called me and literally said "Why do you want to meet so bad? It's not convenient for me and I will be at the venue hours before and after to set-up and teardown. You will have a lot of time to talk to me the day of." I am naive about weddings and apologized for being needy and said no problem as he knew more than I. Again, I later sent my music list and timeline on Nov. 3. The day of - The timeline said Ceremony started at 3:30 PM. My contract says 3:30PM, no issues and agree on this. My timeline did say start playing "seating guest music" at 3:15PM, which maybe I was wrong to assume that he would arrive before the ceremony and that you normally start music before the ceremony. In either case, It was 2:20PM and he had not arrived. When I called him he said "You changed the ceremony time 15 minutes early and I wasn't prepared. However, I'm about to exit." Ok, fine, but 3:30 PM ceremony time didn't change and he told me before he would be there hours before setting up. 1) He finally arrives. He was mixed up by electrical requirements of the venue. He was wearing sneakers, t-shirt, and casual jeans. He was not personable. 2) He doesn't play any seating the guest songs, but fortunately the venue played music until the DJ was set-up. He told the groom "songs are downloading." 3) He plays the processional twice and the groom discovers that DJ was missing an entire page of the timeline and didn't know what the bridal processional was. 4) I am told by guests he looked lost most of the time, walking around aimlessly, walking around tables during the reception, and was overall uncomfortable. 5) He announced bride/groom way too late during re-entry and had to be told when/what to say including song to play during reception. 6) While I didn't give a do-not-play list, fair, it was clearly a religious ceremony. DJ decided to play Colt 45 (marijuana song). I was shocked. Maybe not his fault as I didn't explicitly say not to play? 7) The time line said to "Announce time for toasts and if no toasts, announce that bride/groom would like to say thank you." DJ Carlos said "Now bride and groom will give thank you speeches" only. 8) He played the wrong version of the father/daughter dance song. My dad was a bit disappointed at that... 9) His phone text sound went off during a dance song. I could go on and on, really. I would not be so frustrated if I had never engaged the DJ, but I did. I wanted to meet before and he said no. I wanted him at least an hour before like he said, he wasn't. He gave me a template to use. I used it and copied and pasted exact youtube linked for the songs, he disregarded and was un-prepared. He gave no lights or any ambience to the existing atmosphere, which was mentioned in the quote. He was not personable and was instead oddly quiet and unapproachable. I also think he knew all of this which is why we hardly spoke during the wedding. He also left insanely quick, which is great because I didn't feel pressured to tip.

etail so it went absolutely perfect. I can't thank him enough for his hard work! Thanks so much
