DJ Who_

've been putting off this review because I have so many mixed emotions. I recognize this is someone's livelihood and as someone who relies heavily on others' reviews in my decision making process, a negative review can make a big impact. That said, after much contemplation, I did feel the need to share my experience in hopes that it helps DJ Who improve and helps others make a decision that's best for them and their big day. DJ Who (aka Tom) was incredibly responsive and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him during our first phone call. We talked about the type of music we like and joked about how adamant we were that there would be no group/coordinated dances at our wedding (aka the cha cha slide, cupid shuffle, etc.). We also talked about an anniversary dance for the married couples. This was close to my heart because I wanted my 90 year-old grandparents to be in the spotlight as the last ones dancing. To help him prepare for the wedding, Tom asked us to submit a list of 25 must-play songs. A few weeks before the wedding, we did submit our songs and again stated that group dances are on the “do not play” list. Unfortunately, the song that Tom chose to “get the party going” was a coordinated dance song, the “train” to be exact. I tried to get into it but it was a no-go for the group; my husband, who’s a big-time dance guy, walked right off the dance floor. We spent a lot of time and effort picking out our top 25 must-plays and I swear I didn't hear half of them on the dance floor. I did see on another review that he noted playing music during dinner, and I do recall hearing a few, but if you're pulling together a list for the DJ I would think it's understood that you want to dance to those songs. My Maid of Honor came up to me very upset that he said he wouldn't play any of her requests. I was changing into my party dress when he chose to play the "anniversary" song, so I only caught the tail end to witness my grandparents dancing. All in all, both me and my husband were pretty gosh darn disappointed. That said, I would like to note that he was prompt (even early) setting up. He brought extra lighting than we had not paid for (and it was definitely cool!) and he was a great MC! I know pleasing everyone is no easy task. I thank you for the hard work you put in and I want you to know that I am appreciative but I felt compelled to share this experience as the music was so important to us.
