My husband and I could not imagine our big day without Caitlyn and the First Class Weddings team. Caitlyn is their coordinator and she was absolutely awesome! She kept everything so organized and was always quick to respond with answers to all ...
of my questions! Photography: Jazz and Tara were absolutely amazing! Their friendly and calming personalities helped us feel so comfortable while having so much fun during out engagement photo shoot. They also perfectly captured our wedding day, rain and all! They certainly do not lack experience! If you are looking for a more natural and laid back group, at a reasonable price for full access to gorgeous photos, hire them! DJ: WHAT A NIGHT! DJ Kenny Powers was amazing! Our night was perfect and our guests had the time of their lives. Kenny played the music for our ceremony and reception. Song transitions were smooth, he respected our requests and read the vibe of the crowd throughout the night and made sure everyone hit the dance floor at last once! Needless to say, Kenny is experienced, fun and loved by all of our guests!

t to finish - from our initial conversations with Caitlyn and Josh through our wedding day. Josh worked with us to determine which DJ would be the best match to the experience that we were looking for, and paired us up with Mark MacTaggart. It was important to us that the music selection at the wedding represented us but also kept the crowd alive… which can be a hard balance sometimes! Mark absolutely nailed it - he was so communicative with us leading up to the wedding, understanding of our wishes, and truly kept the party bumping all night long. He was responsive to the crowd and made it his primary goal that everyone was having a good time. We got so many compliments on the music & dance floor atmosphere. We were told several times by our wedding party and guests that it was the best wedding music set they had ever heard and that they hadn’t sat down in over three hours! Thank you Mark, you made our wedding so special and a day we will truly remember forever! If you’re looking for this type of experience, Mark should be your DJ!

suggested a DJ based on what we were looking for. We used DJ Mark MacTaggart and he was amazing! My husband had been deployed right up until 2 weeks before our wedding, which was stressful enough but Caitlyn and Mark were about to help us out with the online portal and give us a little extra time to complete it. I had been so worried about the music and had felt like we didn’t have enough songs in mind. In our meeting with Mark, we told him what we liked and gave a few songs in different genres and what we knew we didn’t want. We also had Mark do the ceremony music. We weren’t sure on how long the music would need to be but he assured us he could figured it out in the moment, and he did! The music flowed beautifully. We had so many compliments after the wedding and the dance floor was always packed! Mark played a little bit of everything and as the night went on he would change things up based on the current energy of the guests. Mark was extremely professional and personable. If you’re even questioning booking first class for a DJ, this is your sign to just do it. You will not regret it!

formalities and then just absolutely kill it on the dance floor! Josh’s style was so effortlessly cool, high energy but in an understated way, and he let his skill at reading the room and enhancing the vibes guide the night flawlessly! First Class Weddings also did the uplighting for our event. We were going for a very classic look, and at first I wasn’t sure if uplighting would compete with that goal, but he and his team used “candlelight” colors to elegantly highlight the architecture of the elegant Omni Parker House ballroom which was very festive and harmonious with all of their holiday decorations. Then he transitioned to a bit more color at the end of the evening to match the energy of the crowd – it was very, very well done. After intros and our first dance, he invited guests onto the floor to help us finish our slow waltz of a first dance (at our prior request!) which they did and then he brought in some great high energy songs to formally open the dancefloor at that point! People were dancing in between food courses – they were absolutely itching to dance to Josh’s mix. We gave him a wide ranging request list from disco to classic rock to current hits, and he knew just when to play all of our favorites! He also has some great remixes deployed towards the end of the night that the crowd absolutely loved. The night went by so fast, and our guests danced all night to the very end – what more could you ask for?! We are so, so grateful to Josh, Caitlyn, and the team at First Class Weddings for making our wedding so fun and memorable for us and our guests.

FCW has an awesome music portal that allowed us to put in our timeline, music requests, and must play/do not play songs. We met with Mark shortly before the wedding and he went through everything - even playing songs we requested for different portions of the evening to make sure he had the right song or the perfect start/end times. He was so personable, coming over at various points to check in on how we were doing and we even discovered a shared love of Disney! He had an excellent read on our guests and was able to adjust the playlist accordingly. Everyone from our 8-year old niece to our 90-year old uncle spent time on the dance floor. He curated the perfect dance party for special day. We highly recommend you book FCW and Mark if you are planning an event!

The dance floor was truly filled the WHOLE time, and something extra special was that Mark approached us a couple of times to check in/let us know what songs were coming up next. That kind of experience was so relieving on such a jam-packed and whirlwind of a day and we are so grateful.

He added to our night as more than just a DJ, and our wedding would not have been the same without him.

nded a wedding three years ago where he was the DJ, and we knew from that moment on we needed him for ours when we got married. Mike is an expert at reading the dance floor. We told him we were a high-energy group, and that we wanted music that would keep people of our age (late 20’s and early 30’s) on the dance floor. When we spoke to him on the phone the week of the wedding, he could tell we were a group that liked to party, and that’s when he brought up the Co2 gun that he offered for weddings. It was an immediate yes from us. There is nothing like being the bride and getting to spray your guests with Co2 as they are dancing. It’s three months since our wedding, and we still have people telling us our dance floor was one of the best they’ve experienced. Our dance floor was full the entire time and every single song was perfect. Mike also was enthusiastic when announcing us and our wedding party, and he made everyone want to get up out of their seats. If Mike Pardi is available for your wedding, book him immediately. You won’t regret it. P.S You also have an online portal you can add all of the songs you like to once you book with FCW. They are super organized and make the whole process easy! Keeping track of songs you like throughout the planning process makes that final call super productive!

Jazz and Josh teamed up for our photography and they were both a dream to work with! We also had worked with Jazz for our engagement shoot and he made us feel so relaxed and excited at the same time. As the sun was setting in the North End after we had finished our shoot, we walked past an alleyway and Jazz quickly pulled out his camera again to get some really amazing shots. It’s clear that everyone on this team clearly loves what they do and they go above and beyond for their couples! Last but not least, Stephen was our videographer for the day. I know many couples are usually on the fence about videography, but for us it was a must and I’m so glad we did! There’s just something about seeing all of the behind the scenes footage, voice overs, aerial shots, and everything that goes into a wedding day that you may not necessarily see in real time or in photos!

They also manipulated the terms of the previous resign without our knowledge. Good thing I have access to great Attorneys! I had to pay for attorneys costs and $30 in certified mail fees to get my initial $700 deposit back. The president Josh is a delight to work with (I am being sarcastic). My experience with this company was sub-par to say the least. Josh the president, demanded multiple times that we owed him all the money once I told him he is being unfair and unethical.

Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2021
I want to first say THANK YOU for taking the time to read my response to Marc's review! First Class Weddings is a company that takes pride in our credibility. We believe that every couple should have a voice and be honest when it comes to work...
ing with vendors. We always recommend reading reviews so you know who you decide to hire and can deliver a solid performance. We also believe that you should write about your experiences with your vendors. As a small business owner in an industry that has been hit hard by this pandemic, my team and I have been doing our best to accommodate and to work with all of our couples who are being faced with postponement or cancellation of their events because we care and because I believe it is the right thing to do. We worked diligently with Marc, including changing his event date three times, without charging any postponement fees or other additional fees for our time. However, the $700.00 retainer (not deposit) that Marc asked to be returned to him, was requested (so that he can sign a new contract with a new company to perform at his wedding) is a non-refundable retainer that acts as liquidated damages as a reasonable compensation to cover FCW’s business costs and efforts associated with creating this arrangement with Marc. All of this is clearly stated in our easy to read one page contract that was signed. Another key attribute that was not mentioned in Marc’s review was that there was a remaining DJ balance, which was past due. We completely understand that times are tough during this pandemic, and we decided to waive the final DJ balance for Marc. First Class Weddings came to a mutually agreeable decision legally with Marc and his fiance, providing them back the non-refundable retainer and not continuing legal action despite the terms listed under our contracts. We understand that this pandemic was no one's fault, and we are all here to work together with all of our couples and continue to celebrate weddings! Thank you Joshua Wiseman, President FCW

When we met with Kenny he made sure he knew all of our preferences and made sure to give us his number if we had any last minute changes. Kenny was awesome the night of and got people out on the dance floor even with a smaller wedding (~85 people). During our ceremony it was mentioned all of the "first dance" songs that we considered before picking ours and we noticed that Kenny made sure to play all of the songs that didn't make the cut during dinner service, which was really thoughtful. We would definitely recommend FCW and Kenny!!!

First Class Weddings is the best! Their coordinator was very good at communicating with us during the planning period and their prices are perfect for what they offer. We hired Kenny as our DJ for our wedding ceremony/reception and he was great...
! The company will give you access to a website where you can add your favorite songs that you want played as well as specifics for each event. For example, the song you want playing as you walk down the isle, cut the cake, etc. Our one on one meeting with Kenny went great and he totally understood the vibe we were going for our reception. Some songs we put down he didn't play during the dance portion of the night (like a few slow songs) but looking back on the night, I'm glad he didn't because he kept the energy high so that everyone was dancing. The slower songs we listed he played during dinner and while we greeted guests, which was way better. His mix during the night was perfect. I feel like every guest had their favorite song play at some point in the night. He does do song requests, but only if they go with the mood. He doesn't do a lot of "mic time" which we appreciated. The times he was on the mic was just to coordinate events. I also really appreciated being able to text him the morning of the wedding with a last minute change. Thank you Kenny for making our wedding so great!

There is a reason their name is First Class. You will not find more passionate, detail oriented, accommodating and FUN people for your wedding day. It starts with Caitlyn and Josh, who listen to your vision and have the experience to make that ...
vision come to life. The best part is you feel like you’re their only client because they are so attentive and willing to help in any way. We had Mark and Jill as our DJ and photographer team and WOW. Jill did our engagement pictures and her warm and inviting personality was even able to get my very shy, goofy fiancé at the time out of his shell. She did such an outstanding job. Her pictures are SO good she doesn’t even need to edit them, but she will because her eye for detail is incredible. On the wedding day she was just as perfect, organized and a pleasure to work with. Anytime I thought ‘aww that would make a great picture’, Jill was already in the background capturing the moment. I can’t wait to use Jill again for other life milestones :) Now Mark, shut the house down!!! Literally no one left our dance floor all night. It started with our consultations when I knew we both just clicked with him and he got our vibe. He even slowed down our first dance song so we were more comfortable. The night of the wedding, he read the crowd, listened to our style and absolutely killed it. He was so passionate all night and his energy was infectious. People are still talking about how much fun they had every day since and I attribute that completely to having the BEST people around me. First Class Weddings will not disappoint.

First Class Weddings provided music and MC for our wedding in September 2019. They came highly recommended by some friends whose weddings we had attended and were blown away with how lively the party had been. We were not disappointed. From the...
moment we first met with the team, Caitlyn was super welcoming and was able to help us set up something within our budget. They were extremely professional and very accommodating to make sure we had a perfect wedding day. Their Wedding Portal made selecting songs for the ceremony and reception a breeze. Mark MacTaggart was our day of MC. We had been to a couple wedding with Mark DJing, so we knew what to expect. He was very professional and made the whole process easy. Mark was very prompt and was set up early. He talked to our officiant and walked him through the sound system before the ceremony so there would be no surprises. We were worried with a Sunday afternoon wedding people wouldn’t feel like dancing too much at the reception. Boy were we wrong. Mark killed it. The dance floor was jumping the entire afternoon. Mark knows how to read a crowd and kept everyone dancing the whole reception. We cannot recommend working with Mark and the whole team at FCW highly enough.

n August 30th with a reception at Belle Mer and FCW was with us every step of the way leading up to the big day. Caitlyn was incredibly responsive and super sweet - a true pleasure to work with. She was on her game at all times and helped us so much through the entire process! We had DJ Mike Pardi as our AMAZING DJ and I don't even know where to begin with him. HE BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE! He got our guests up and dancing BEFORE dinner was even served! The energy lasted all night and we received so many compliments about Mike. We picked him because we knew we wanted a DJ to appropriately interact with our guests through music and entertainment - and he did just that without being obnoxious or stealing the show. Our must-plays were played and he even got in nearly all of our "if you have time" plays. He was incredibly professional and so fun to work with. We also had Stephen as our lead videographer. Wow - what a guy! So polite and awesome to be around. He played his role extremely well and was working diligently to capture any and all footage that he needed for the wedding and reception. Not once did he tell us what to do or how to act. He let the day flow as it should have and he worked so well with our photographer, who was not part of FCW. With FCW we also had uplighting and a photobooth - SO WORTH IT! Listen, just please do yourself a favor and book FCW for your wedding. It's a no-brainer. You will be supported and heard, and we just cannot recommend them enough. Great business, but even better people. If I could give more stars I would!

the dance floor was never empty! It’s always a good thing when there’s already people on the dance floor before dinner! Mike made sure to check in with us throughout the night and let us know when a “must play” song was about to play so we could enjoy it as well. Also, a plus when your DJ and groom have an interest and bond over craft beer! All of guests had a great time, and everyone commented on how Mike just made everything fun! Photo: Jill Mac We had our engagement photos done with Jill first, and I’m so glad we did. We got to know her, she got to know us so it made the day not feel as awkward! She took requests from us on what photos we wanted and she made sure we got them all! She had a second shooter which made everything so much easier, getting different shots and different angles. I love getting sneak peak photos from Jill whether it’s through text message or her Facebook, it makes the anticipation for the rest of the photos stronger! Video: Marco Corrado Marco went above and beyond. I was only expecting him to be at the ceremony and the reception but when he told us he’d be at my parents house while I got ready, I was ecstatic! He was not in the way of us at all. I’m so excited to see our video, I know he captured some great shots! Everyone from First Class Weddings was just phenomenal. I felt like they were all friends and not just vendors and we weren’t just clients. They genuinely cared and wanted to make our day the best day ever. I feel like I have known them all for much longer than I have. Thank you to everyone from First Class Weddings for making our wedding truly magical!

My dad requested to so a small mix for our father daughter dance and Mike listened to how i wanted it and made it happen. He was very easy going and easy to talk to on the phone and I couldn't have had a better DJ. Jazz & Tara were excellent photographers and such a cute couple. They both listened to everything that i wanted and made sure that they were able to take as many pictures as possible. Both Jazz & Tara were very sweet people and a pleasure to work with. Jazz also traveled to Wells, Maine to take our engagement photos and we were very impressed with his work. They were both awesome easy going people and i am so excited to see my wedding photos. Stephen was my first videographer that i had ever worked with and he did not disappoint. I talked to him the week before my wedding and he was a pleasure to talk to. He listened to everything i had to say and gave me many options and specifics of what he was going to focus on filming. When i met him the day of the wedding he was very chill and laid back and you could tell he really focuses on his work and was able to capture every moment. I also requested that him and the photographers come to our hotel prior to the wedding so they could get some getting ready footage of the guys and the girls and they showed up on time no questions asked. I will recommend all of these people to everyone as i really feel like that i had the top notch team of vendors. Mike Pardi, Jazz & Tara, Stephen Cwiok were the best and i couldn't have asked for a better wedding. If you choose any of them for your wedding you will be happy and a lot less stressed as they all made me feel very confident and less nervous for my big day.
