After searching through multiple DJs here is what Larry brought to the table that others didn't. He has a great voice, fantastic MC background, modifies his style to fit the desires of our wedding, and took over many areas of planning we hadn't... thought of. For our wedding he played all the right music, did a fantastic job with the microphone, took our guests requests, and was patient when we were running on different timelines.
Here is the real truth about Larry...he is an honest person who is excited to do a good job for you. He shows up early, puts in the work, and charges a fair price. If you want something a certain way, Larry is the type of person to enthusiastically support you or recommend something different based on his experience. He will onboard you with all his documents and guides, which can be very helpful.
My wife and I ran behind when we were doing different things like cake cutting, and I was worried he might get stressed, but I was wrong. He took the opportunity to meet our guests and confirm the types of music they liked - what an awesome thought. The whole night I knew Larry would be attentive, and that he would do exactly as we instructed him to do. That's exactly the type of DJ we wanted.
In the beginning of the night he played the songs everyone could enjoy - even the early leavers. As the night got later he played songs that kept us going. The music got louder and the floor was crowded. Larry did an excellent job of reading our crowd. My wife and I are 25 and trust me, Larry can play all the right songs for our age group and up to my parents age group.
Larry is a kind person, and I can tell that COVID is hurting the wedding industry quite a bit. However, I urge you to consider his services. Even if it's for a smaller gathering, family event, cocktail hour, or somewhere that you'd need an MC.
