DO NOT choose Hoosier Live for any event. I booked with Jacob, the owner, for my wedding, and at first he was great. He seemed responsive, knowledgeable, and like an easy choice. H...
owever, about 6 months before my big day, he stood me up for a consultation and stopped responding to all communications. Eventually, he even deleted his email address. He took hundreds of dollars I made as a deposit, and didn't even have the decency to tell me he could not cover my wedding any more. I know he is still around, because he posts regularly on Facebook. If you don't want to be scammed and left scrambling to find a new DJ last minute, STAY AWAY FROM HOOSIER LIVE!
I would NOT recommend Hoosier Live for any DJ services. Jacob was unreliable and failed to perform DJ services at my wedding, breaking the terms of our contract.
I booked Hoosie...
r Live for my wedding. Jacob required a 50% ($500) deposit at the time of booking to hold the date. He seemed like a great fit at first, but his response rate and communication worsened as we got closer to the wedding. A few months before the wedding, I reached out to finalize details and was unable to get in touch. His email bounced back and both phone numbers I had for him were disconnected. After multiple attempts to contact him through Instagram Messenger, where I had had success contacting him previously, and via snail mail, he still did not respond. He ended up ghosting me and not fulfilling his contract to provide DJ services. I have been trying to get our initial $500 deposit back for months and still cannot get a response. We ended up having to hire a different DJ.
Easy to work with and did a great job!
