Leading up to our wedding, we attended several other weddings and came to a realization- the wedding DJ can truly make or break your event. When they're on their game, it makes the... entire night incredible, and when they're not, it is glaringly obvious. We are very happy to report that Greenline Talent and Zach J are firmly in the former category!
The team was happy to answer any and all questions we had in the lead-up to the wedding, and we had the opportunity to speak with them and our DJ Zach J multiple times over the phone and via video. We were able to have great conversations with them about the type of music we wanted and our vision for the flow of the night. The music planning form they provided was very thorough and we were confident that the right music was going to be played at the right times.
We had been kicking around the idea of trying to do a karaoke afterparty once we had closed out the dance floor, and saw that was a service Greenline was starting to provide a few months before our date! We quickly reached out and got an hour-long karaoke session added to our night. It was a mixed success, but wasn't by any means an outright bust, and was more on the fault of the venue than Greenline. We didn't love the exact location of where in the room the karaoke got set up, and the onscreen lyrics weren't keeping up with the music, which can be attributed to the venue's wifi. We know it was the first time the venue and our DJ had done something like this so we understand there were bound to be some growing pains. Everyone still had a great time!
When we first talked to Zach J about what we were looking for in a DJ, we actually talked about things we DIDN'T want that we'd experienced at other weddings- DJs who seemed bored or inattentive, DJs who played the wrong music, and DJs who made it too much about themselves and would overmix, overproduce, and speed up songs so that they were really hard to enjoy. Zach J took all of our concerns to heart, and helped us pull off each of our moments flawlessly- he had the right music cued up at the exact times we'd specified on the tracks, helped get our live musician set up for the procession, and even made several edits of a song for one of the featured dances to get it just right. He also truly excelled once the party got going- he got all of our "must plays" featured, and matched the vibe of the dance floor- he kept seeming to know which songs to play to get people back on the floor when it would start to empty out, and timed out our requested slow dance songs to keep the evening flowing nicely. He was also able showcase his skills transitioning between songs- they were fun and unique enough to be noticed and appreciated, but didn't overstay their welcome.
We enthusiastically recommend hiring Greenline Talent and Zach J for your event. They are thoughtful, fun, and very good at what they do in curating the best possible atmosphere so that you and your guests can enjoy to the fullest!
