Mark was incredible to work with. He listened to our rather unconventional music tastes and put together a great playlist that kept people dancing the whole night. He was also quic...
k to sort out the requests that he knew we would like versus the ones that we didn't like. He even fit in some requests from the bride and groom at the last minute. We had so much fun with him and recommend anyone looking for a DJ to check out Mark.
Our venue’s event coordinator recommended Mark to us for our wedding ceremony and reception DJ. We never had a chance to hear him play before our wedding day which made me a littl...
e nervous. I did not want a DJ who was on the mic a lot, was too cheesy, or tried too hard to make it a party by using props or anything. Mark was great. We met him at Chick-fil-a one Saturday morning and hit it off. He understood what we were looking for and his client website made it simple to organize our different songs (first dance, father/daughter, mother/son, etc.) as well as songs we wanted played and didn’t want played.
He was very professional to work with throughout the process and quick to respond to questions. I would recommend Mark for friends’ weddings or any corporate events that may need a DJ. Thanks again Mark for all your help with our music throughout the whole day!
Mark with Harmany Djs is a very pleasant individual and has a website with many forms to fill out to help him create your wedding dj dream. Jon and I took the time to fill out the...
se online forms for Mark, to help guide him in the taste and music choices we desired for our entire wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and departure. Upon meeting with Mark for the first time, he stated he could and would be the wedding coordinator for our wedding and would be the “voice” to guide and flow our wedding into the dream day we desired. Mark was our guy for the job-we hired him to not only dj the wedding but make the day flow in the way that it should, per his suggestion and requests. On the Thursday before our wedding, Mark and I had an hour telephone conversation going over the wedding ceremony timeline, reception and expectations of the overall evening. We even sat there, and I filled in on the timelines how to pronounce certain names of the bridal party, such as my maiden name because he stated he wanted the phonetic spelling for these different names. We were very thorough on the entire day’s details and I felt very prepared and confident in Mark and how our day would be handled. Mark also requested to be present at the wedding rehearsal so that he could ensure he was on the same page as us, for the wedding ceremony and could get an idea of the layout.
However, the day of our wedding Mark was off key, and was not the dj he has promoted himself to be. The wedding cocktail hour had Star Trek music being played, he started playing music for the “old folks” at the beginning of our wedding reception dance portion, and when my Mom asked him to stop and change the music, he blatantly ignored her request and stated that this was what HE wanted to play. Throughout the night, my Mom, husband and I had to repeatedly direct Mark in how the evening should be occurring and what we needed him to announce, or please play this song, or please don’t play another song like this etc etc. What was the point in filling out the forms telling you the genres of music we liked? What was the point in me filling out a timeline and giving you a copy of it in print the night of the rehearsal? The biggest complaint I have about Mark Harman is that after all the planning, communicating and written and reiterated discussions about the execution of my perfect dream day, was that when announcing my parents into our wedding reception……he mispronounced my maiden name, my PARENTS LAST NAME!!!!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Oh no, here comes my brother, part of the bridal party, and he messes that up as well! Again, How has this happened? Why am I yelling out in my wedding dress that I am about to cut the cake? Why has my dj not announced this? I will say with every request we had, Mark came through-however he did not direct and make our wedding flow, my family and I did! Last but not least, after the wedding was over my Mom reached out to Mark Harman to discuss how our expectations were not met, and he has yet to contact or reach back out to her! I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism and had much higher expectations for Mark Harman.
Mark Harman was so amazing! I was deployed and living overseas throughout my wedding planning and Mark was great at communicating via e-mail, he even offered to Skype with me whil...
e I was deployed. He always responded promptly and really cared about what I wanted.
He was even nice enough to do the ceremony music for us for no additional cost because I was in the military. I never expect military discounts but when people offer them it makes me like them even more!
Mark showed up early, even came to the rehearsal, and stayed late for us when I forgot to bring the iPod that I had planned on using for the last two hours of wind down reception. He was so kind and friendly and I hate that it has been almost a year since our wedding and I am just now getting to writing this review.
I gave Mark a huge list of songs from all different genres and he found every single one of them and came up with ones that he thought would fit our tastes, and he was spot on. He was a ton of help with making sure things went smoothly as well. He really went the extra mile for us and his prices were very reasonable. Oh and if you are going to have kids at the wedding do add the video game package. The kids loved it especially during the more boring formal parts of the reception.
You won't be sorry with Harmany DJs you will be too busy dancing the night away and remembering how great everything was. Everyone at my wedding raved about him and said it was the most fun they had, had at a wedding in a long time. Harmany DJs is definitely the DJ you want if you want to have a fun wedding without any stress!
Mark handled both the ceremony and reception music. His website provides worksheets and music selection ahead of time so that saved time for us in the long run and reduced the numb...
er of meetings and discussions needed to plan. This was a relief for me as I planned my entire wedding with very little assistance and no wedding coordinator. The only issue we had was that the music was difficult to hear during dinner because the speakers were not set up in the dining area. 1 more speaker would have take care of that. Great value and great service!
