Scott Sica was the DJ for our recent wedding in Salem, MA at the Hawthorne Hotel. We cannot tell you how much we valued him as an important member of our big day. He went above and beyond in every way imaginable. We came across him during a ...routine Google search. We saw that he was local, had great reviews, and though this wasn’t necessarily what we were looking for, we found that he was noted to be LGBTQ+ friendly, which as it happens was a plus for our wedding. We arranged to meet and were immediately impressed with his easy-going, but enthusiastic attitude and his excitement about every idea we had for our wedding. I don’t think there was any point in the process in which he used the word “No.” Throughout the process, we easily put the most demands on him compared to the other vendors, and he delivered every single time.
We met on several occasions to plan, and he was always smiling, and eager to find out what he could do to make our day the best it could possibly be. He always listened to our suggestions and ideas, and when appropriate, made helpful and useful suggestions. We discussed in advance what level of involvement he’d have in the reception in terms of games, talking, etc. and when we explained our wishes, he was respectful of them, and followed through on that night. Every time we met, he had done his homework and was ready to tackle the next big thing.
The surprising way in which he really came through was when I mentioned my interest in having a Paper Moon photo booth at the wedding. This is one of those old-timey moon cut-outs that you frequently see people posing on in the 1930s and 40s. He thought about this idea, then mentioned that in addition to his many other talents, he’s a carpenter as well! He said he was willing to build the paper moon for us, and set up the photo booth. It made us feel so special that he was willing to do this, and he followed through in a big way, taking our breath away when we saw the finished product. It’s a wonder we didn’t wear the moon down that night, as our guests were constantly lined up to take a variety of pictures with it, and it remains one of the most memorable parts of our wedding reception. This was built specially for our wedding, but he has it available for yours. Ask him about it!
On the day of the wedding, Scott’s friendly face and “Don’t worry, I’ve got you” attitude made us feel at ease amid the stress, and he kept the evening moving along. We felt like everything we wanted to happen happened, and had plenty of time to happen. The pace of the evening was perfect, and we were thrilled to hear him play everything we asked for. His suggestions for where to place our first dance, parent dances, toasts, last dances etc. made the evening memorable and made for a great flow to the party.
We are thrilled with the service we received from Scott and highly recommend him. It hasn’t been mentioned yet, but his rates were highly competitive and we feel like we got every penny’s worth and more. Please take the time to connect with him, and we feel very confident that you’ll be ecstatic that you did.
