I hate writing poor reviews and wish that our experience could have been different, but unfortunately that just is not the case here. When we initially inquired about his services and asked for a quote, we received the following email from him “It's $795 for 4-hour DJ. If we provide music for the ceremony, it's an additional $75 for DJ ceremony fee. If you book today, I can include free dance lights.”. We sent an email back saying “We would like to book the 4 hour DJ and ceremony service if possible.” He then sent us an email stating that our online account had been set up and that we would be getting an email with the log in information. This had the contract in it that stated we were hiring him for the 4-hour DJ and ceremony fee. All was good for the next 10 months, everything was fine. There was no need for much communication, so it was all good. That being said, come the month of the wedding, our wedding coordinator was the first one to reach out about the wedding. She let us know through him that he would not be playing the ceremony and that it would cost an additional $75 for them to play. He informed the coordinator and my self through email that the ceremony fee did not include the time playing, but that in his words is “simply just a fee for the extra effort that goes into the ceremony.” Myself, my husband, our coordinator and a few others all examined the contract and none of us found this specification on there and this was not something that was ever communicated or explained in our initial inquiring. It does not make sense that we would pay someone $75 for “extra effort”, if we were not going to have them play. After multiple correspondence about this issue between our coordinator and myself with Stephen, he admitted that he could see how it could come off confusing, but would not refund our $75. So we paid an extra $75 for absolutely nothing. My husband and I spent months creating all of our own playlists, so there was no additional effort or planning there. The only thing we needed for our ceremony was for the processional and recessional music to be played, and that only had to be played by a simple hookup. The venue had all of the speakers installed already, so it simply just needed a phone or laptop connected to it and that’s it. In addition to all of that, we were not informed until the week before that Stephen would not be our DJ. We had someone else come and DJ, and my husband, myself and our coordinator felt like that was something we should have been informed of. All in all, the 4-hour DJ went well, our playlists were played exactly as asked by Taylor, but the communication was just not it + we paid $75 for absolutely nothing. Taylor was great though and we really appreciate him for that night and if that $75 had to go towards this company in some way, we’d hope that it would go directly to Taylor. All in all, we would not have hired this company again though and don’t recommend others do as well.

Throughout the planning process, there was very good communication and their system for collecting all the necessary information pertianing to our wedding was good. Andy was our DJ. He was awesome and did a great job hyping up the crowd. Everything went fairly smooth. We also had a photobooth, which was nice and all my guests had a blast with it. Andy brought his girlfriend to help set up/and tear down. Even though I specified that the attire was cocktail attire, his girlfriend came in jeans and a WHITE rhinestone top that looked more like a bathing suit top. Andy was dressed appropriately, but his girlfriend really stuck out, it was very upsetting and ruined the esthetic of the wedding. Only the bride should be in white and her outfit was definitely out of place and not professional. We got married at a very elegant hotel in New Orleans and this was just beyond inappropriate. You never think anyone will wear white to your wedding much less a vendor. Andy and his girlfriend were very friendly and I didn't say anything during the wedding because I just wanted to enjoy it. I knew saying something would put me in a bad mood. I also saw her drinking a beer and we were not expecting our vendors to be drinking alcohol. When I brought this to the attention of the owner after the wedding, he informed me they don't discourage drinking and he apologized for the girlfriends attire and said he would speak to Andy about it. The services were great, but that one detail ruined everything. I, unfortunately, cannot recommend Geaux Live and I would suggest making it VERY clear what your expectations are during booking if you decide to use their services.

Pretty good. My dj was super sweet and put on a lot of fun music. Did a super giod job at keeping the mood. Helped with making sure our toasts and announcements were heard.
Con: Kind of hard to reach until the last 2 weeks. Don't use their UI to contact them.
So it was hard to give them our exact plan for the music. Groom wanted to keep a song for us to dance together and with family and it was played while we were eating privately :(
Response from Geaux Live DJ, Photography & Photo Booths on 04/28/2023
Hey Kailyn, thanks for the review. I know its a little late now but we do have a place to...
put a note under the song that you prefer to be in the room for. If you don't let us know we have no way of knowing. We can always play it again as well. Its your party. Also as far as contact, we can easily be reached by phone or email. Every email and voicemail gets a response same day in most cases.

I seen review on The Knot. Decided to book for daughter's wedding in October. Was very satisfied. They called week of wedding to go over music & last minute details. Arrived early to set everything up & was ready to go. Played music for ceremony & reception. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Dance floor was never empty. Was so satisfied that I booked for 2 more events for this year. The first event same experience. Didn't have the 2nd one yet, but I know I will be satisfied.

Our DJ was very accommodating! He helped us out when we needed an extra microphone for the wedding ceremony and when there was confusion about the fact we were having an indoor reception but an outdoor ceremony. He was excellent at keeping the dance floor moving and the dance lights were a fun little addition. He also checked in with me throughout the night to let me know what to expect. The only stressful thing about the process was that we weren't assigned a DJ until the week of the event and our coordinator had some initial trouble contacting him. We also had the wrong version of our recessional song played and no song for our introduction as a married couple, but, otherwise, I'm very pleased with this vendor.

The DJ could not be reached by our planner prior to the reception, his phone went straight to voicemail. By the time he set up, he did not follow our song requests or the notes we had on the online Gigbuilder. We had to remind him of the top songs we wanted played constantly. He was standoffish and did not seem happy to take requests from us or the guests. Also, a whole section of our playlist was not played. We would have preferred a more communicative and personalized experience.
Response from Geaux Live DJ, Photography & Photo Booths on 11/17/2022
I reached out to Meghan after this review to see what happened here. I was told that the D...
J was late but after verifying admitted that he was not. I also discovered that "a whole section of songs were not played" was 2 songs and were indeed played. I'm not sure where the bride was when they were played but if they were so important (which was not noted), why not simply ask for them again? Also for the record, the DJ spoke with them a few times before the reception but was unable to take the call while driving to the reception venue to clarify this review. No voicemail was left. I'm not sure what we could have done differently here. A copy of the email conversation can be available on request.

We used Geaux Live DJ for our ceremony, reception and photobooth. Taylor was very attentive and made sure the party kept going from beginning to end. He made sure everyone had a great time and we have memories to last for a lifetime. My wedding guests are still raving about the entertainment and are still posting their photobooth pics! Thank y’all for making our special day so memorable!

Do not hire this company. They wouldn't connect me with a DJ until the week of my wedding, and the DJ was not what I was looking for. They messed up the start and end time and what kind of microphones we wanted, and I am pretty positive all their reviews are fake. RUN!

Everything was great! We had no issues, and he showed up on time. He played all the songs with no mistakes and not 1 missed cue. I enjoyed him playing along with my guests and mentioning the football game that was on. The only complaint I heard was from my grandfather, but that’s only because he’d rather some more oldies. Besides him, we had fun dancing and singing along.

We absolutely loved having the Geaux Live Photo booth at our daughter’s wedding. It was a big hit. The guests had so much fun, and we have all the pics in a wonderful album for the couple.
They were very professional. Geaux Live checked in with us several times before the actual day. There set up and take down was seamless.
This was one of the best things we did for the reception. I highly recommend them for your party or wedding. You won’t be sorry!!

Do you need a DJ service for your event? Well, look no further, because you need Geaux Live.
I reached out to Geaux Live looking for a DJ for my retirement celebration. I contacted them a week before my event, and Stephen responded quickly. I was inside the normal request timeline, and it required Stephen to do extra work to ensure my music preferences, event details were properly accounted for, especially given that all of this coordination was happening in the middle of Mardis Gras. Stephen gave me an amazing quote (prices were very reasonable, and way better than several other services I had looked at), and we were booked within 2 days. On the day of the event, Taylor (our DJ) arrived right on time, and had his equipment setup and ready to go with 30 minutes to spare. He was even prepared to flex in the event the venue couldn’t get the power turned on at the DJ station, which was a serious concern right up until 30 minutes before the event started.
Taylor was given a script for the ceremony, and he confirmed that the ceremony music was correct before we started. Taylor did a great job with all announcements, and his music selections and flow were perfect.
I can’t recommend Geaux Live enough. Don’t waste your time elsewhere, if you need a DJ, here is the place to go!

We booked with this DJ a few weeks before the wedding. We had them for both the ceremony and reception which was all located in the same place. The DJ set up behind our officiant so he was in the background of all of our photos. When he was asked to close his laptop so the stickers displayed on the back on his laptop were not in the pictures he told my father that it was his business and he was advertising. I do not appreciate my wedding photos used as advertisement when it ruins all of my ceremony pictures. There was plenty of room toward the back of the courtyard we were married in and he choose to set up in the area behind the officiant which was also the main area to take pictures in so we had to move all of our photos around this guy.
Completely unprofessional, dressed in a black logo shirt with a tie. Rude when asked to close his laptop for the ceremony. Would not recommend to anyone in the area.

Taylor was a great DJ! We loved the music he played, and he was good at reading the room to play the right songs. He also came and found me to ask if he can play Wobble-on my do not play list-since it was requested by a guest… LOVED THAT! I said yes haha.
He was on schedule to play the right songs and make announcements.
The photo booth quality in my opinion was OK—not the best lighting with a yellowish tone. However the guests certainly didn’t care or maybe even notice! I would do it again since it was really a fun addition to our reception.

We absolutely loved having GeauxLive DJ at our wedding (I believe Taylor was our actual DJ). He was so relaxed and easily accommodated any and all shifts in our timeline. Communication was a breeze when getting things set up, music was on point all night, and the photo booth was such a hit. Seriously, make sure to add a photo booth to your event because the memories are PRICELESS. We cannot thank GeauxLive DJ enough for such an incredible night.

Another thing to note, the online portal they create for your event is super easy to use and to be able to customize your ceremony and reception.

I put this company through "hell" and they went beyond my expectations.
We were supposed to get married in April 2021, but decided to postpone due to COVID. I literally forgot to notify the DJ. They contacted me to go over details and that's when I realized my error. NO PROBLEM, they rescheduled to my new date. Getting closer to my new date things changed. Once again, no issue at all. They kept my deposit (which they should), and cancelled my event. It was easy.
You may think it is strange that I'm writing a review for a company that I ended up cancelling, but they deserve their 5 stars. So many companies have not been easy to work with during a pandemic, and even though I screwed up, this company worked with me. I've worked with other companies during this pandemic, most have been great but others have not. I think the companies that are understanding need to be praised. I don't think any COVID brides were expecting things to be the way they are.

Our wedding was a hit! DJ showed up on time and was very professional. My only complaint is that one of the songs we had on our request list was not played. When a bridesmaid asked him about playing it, he said he didnt have it because it was not on my list. It was in fact on my list. It didnt change the party though, we still had a blast!

Geaux Live was great for my wedding. Our DJ called me the week before to confirm special songs/requests and discuss the general types of songs to play/not play. He arrived on time and had everything set up and ready to go when the reception started. My guests had a great time and several people commented on the "awesome playlist".

I am so embarrassed to be writing this review. I honestly want to cry every time I think about my reception. I think we got the most inexperienced DJ that exists. It probably would’ve went better if we just had one of the groomsmen plug in his phone and play a playlist. To start, I was irritated that I got a call two days before the wedding that I needed to select the reception songs. I was confused because I already filled out the forms, but I didn’t do it right and was stuck doing the reception music last minute. I booked the dj six months out before the wedding and at no point did I receive any directions or check ins to see if everything was completed. The paperwork states that the dj will call the week of the wedding to go over any details. The only call I ever received was the owner being irritated that I did not have any music uploaded. Not once was I ever asked what genre of music I liked or any other details of the reception. This should have been a red flag and I should’ve hired someone else at that point. What was to come was so much worse. When the reception started, the bridal party was outside of the venue taking pictures for about 30 minutes. In that time, every single one of our requested songs were being played. I am almost positive that they were playing in a line of how the were listed online. These songs were specially picked by myself to sing to and dance with my new husband and my friends and family. Instead every single one of them was played while we were outside taking pictures. Then, the dj embarrassed himself and all of the wedding party when he went to introduce the bride and groom. He was a little too early for the introduction, so instead of turning music back on until it was time, he decided to improvise on the mic for the 5 minutes it took for us to enter. He went on and on making jokes, talking about himself, and saying mindless things until it was time for the bride and groom to enter. I feel as though it greatly took away from our grand entrance. Then the music was so low the entire reception. We could barely hear the songs for the first dance and the dances with the parents. Our videos from those dances are almost inaudible. The rest of the reception was just as bad. He only played requested songs, instead of just playing to the crowd. By this I mean he literally played only the songs I had put on the jukebox. No rhyme or reason to what songs played at what times. For example, the party music was played while we were eating dinner, and the casual music was played at the end of the night when everyone was trying to dance and party. To make matters worse, he totally messed up the garter toss and bouquet toss songs. I was so embarrassed at my own wedding. All I wanted was for my guests to have fun and for it to be a big party, instead my guests were left confused and sitting down the entire time. There was no interaction with the dj hyping up the crowd. He just looked like he was lost the entire time. There were several times where it was only myself, the bride, and two of my friends trying to dance to virtually nothing. It has taken me days to write this review. Every time I think about what went wrong my heart sinks into my stomach. My wedding was a once in a lifetime event and I feel like it was ruined in front of all of my guests. I wrote this review to warn all the other brides to not fall for the “five star reviews”. I hired a professional that I felt like I could trust, but I was very let down.

They were wonderful at our wedding. On time, set up was nice, and they followed my playlist. The mic outside was my only issue cause it picked up every single gust of wind and every breath my officiant was taking. But other than that, the night went by so fast cause we had so much fun and Nick was by far the nicest DJ! Thanks!!
