We got married back in April. Six months before the wedding, we started looking at Vendors on TheKnot. Neal was the only DJ we even contacted. He was so highly decorated, and his rates were so reasonable that we didn’t even feel the need to sho...p around. When we spoke on the phone, we knew he was the right one from the start.
There were so many embarrassing issues leading up to the wedding. Neal’s e-mails got sent to our spam box before we had paid our deposit, and we didn’t discover it until weeks later. Despite this, Neal had already locked us in for our wedding date, despite being justified in keeping that day open for other customers. Additionally, because our wedding was outdoors and under a tent in our own backyard, the venue could have presented a lot of issues. There was a great deal of uncertainty with our lighting needs. Neal answered all of our questions and worked with us all the way until we settled on our final lighting package mere days before the wedding. He even worked with us to do a choreographed light show with our own smart lighting system for our first dance.
Neal is a singular talent. We are so grateful for his endless flexibility, joyful disposition, boundless patience, and gentle, guiding hand as he helped us through our wedding day. We still talk about his lightning-fast reflexes as he ran at Olympic speeds across our backyard to reset the power breaker after the smoke machine had tripped it. But the thing we continue to be completely astonished by is that, on a day that took an entire village to get even simple tasks done, Neal managed to set up an entire infrastructure, operate as a master of ceremonies, and tear everything down and pack it away — all completely by himself.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a professional operate so independently and yet so efficiently. Over 6 months later, I am still astounded by how hard and long Neal worked on the day of our wedding. He’s absolutely incredible.
We will recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs a DJ.
