DJ Pushkin

ance floor. I have to say neither one in the family participated much in song selection, that was all DJ's work. Without exaggeration, professionalism here exceeded all expectations. Great ability to sense crowd, people, situations; to set a fun mood and maintain it throughout the entire evening. Our teens and adults had a blast! Also loved the lighting arrangement. Thank you, Alex, for your wonderful, talented work! Highly recommend. Angelika Highly recommend

honest, my expectations were low. A DJ that operates out of his apartment in Russian Brooklyn didn't exactly give me high hopes. When I met him however, I was pleasantly surprised. Here was a guy that appeared to be a genuine businessman. Friendly enough, nice enough, explained everything clearly, had all his metaphorical ducks in a row. So we decided to book his services for the wedding, still 9 months out. At this point we were also in the process of looking for a photographer/videographer, and Pushkin had several that he worked with and that we could book through his company. So we took out a contract for DJ services with the option to extend the services to photo/video. We put down the deposit (1/3 of the DJ contract) and continued shopping around for photo/video. About 3 weeks later, we found a photo/video company that gave us a great package so we took it. I immediately contacted Pushkin to let him know that we would not be needing photo/video services. Lo and behold, he tells me I am unable to cancel these services, despite the fact that our (unsigned, mind you) paperwork stated that we took out an option. Despite my attempts to reason with him, he refused to accept the "cancellation." He even tried to charge me $1000 for the cancellation. I decided to just walk away. It wasn't worth the hassle to be honest...especially considering how much he wanted to "cancel" services that hadn't even been booked yet. I am honestly so grateful, even despite the monetary loss (we didn't get our deposit back), that we ended up cancelling his services. I would highly advise against booking with DJ Pushkin's services, as, in my opinion, the company lacks professionalism, customer service, and general respect. Find a vendor who will provide you with appropriate paperwork that includes details, and remember to read through everything before signing.
