DJ TimDogg Entertainment

sitive phone conversations, reviewing the mixes he sent, and reading strong reviews, we decided to book him. For most of the next six months, things went well. He was responsive and requested a detailed list of our music selections. There were a few occasions where he missed scheduled calls or appointments, but he always followed up and rescheduled, so we weren't overly concerned. Everything changed three days before our wedding. After I texted him that we no longer wanted to do a bouquet toss, he replied that he had a small issue to discuss and would call me later that evening. He never called. The next morning, I followed up and learned that he could no longer DJ our wedding because his wife had planned a surprise anniversary trip that began the same day as our wedding. As you can imagine, I was shocked and extremely upset. With only two days before the wedding, I had little choice but to trust his replacement DJ, whom he assured me would be fully briefed on all of the details we had spent six months planning. I requested a discount, a three-way call with the replacement DJ, and an opportunity to meet him before the wedding. The replacement DJ agreed to meet us at our hotel before the ceremony. On the wedding day, he texted that he was on his way but later said he was stuck in traffic and could no longer meet us. Since I was the bride getting ready, I instructed him to go directly to the venue and coordinate with our ceremony sound technician, Ken. Unfortunately, it became obvious during the ceremony that this coordination never happened. Every ceremony song was wrong except for my processional song, which I personally verified moments before walking down the aisle. Instead of our selected music, generic songs were played throughout the ceremony. The reception was equally disappointing. The replacement DJ appeared unprepared and struggled through many key moments. For the bridal party entrance, he played an instrumental version of the song we selected instead of the actual song. He also announced and played music for a parent/grandparent entrance that was never requested and played the wrong song for our first dance. There were long delays before the father-daughter and mother-son dances, creating awkward gaps in the reception timeline. Throughout the evening, multiple guests complained that the music was too loud, and there were sound issues with crackling speakers. Toasts were not properly announced, and the overall flow felt disorganized. Once open dancing began, things improved somewhat, but many songs from our must-play list—including reggae and go-go sets—were skipped unless guests specifically requested them. At one point, he even introduced the reggae set with a reggaeton song. Thankfully, we still had a beautiful wedding day. However, the DJ situation was unquestionably the biggest disappointment. What made it even worse was that after the wedding, neither DJ Tim nor the replacement DJ accepted responsibility for what happened. Instead, blame was shifted to others, excuses were made, and concerns were dismissed. Based on our experience, I would not recommend hiring DJ Tim for an important event. Being replaced just days before the wedding and then experiencing so many preventable mistakes on the wedding day was incredibly disappointing.
