Our start time was 5pm, and when we arrived at 4:30, Steve was 100% fully setup and waiting for us. I approached Steve (I’m the father of the bride, responsible for the reception)... and Steve had all of the notes we sent him, the playlist was ready, and he was totally prepared. The equipment was setup perfectly …
The bridal party was running late, and as the father of the bride, I was getting nervous and worried for the guests – Steve assured me that as long as we have food, and drink – the guests are just fine, and you know what, they really were – so I really appreciate Steve helping to keep me calm. Apparently its pretty normal for the wedding party to arrive late.
While we waiting for the wedding party to arrive, Steve and I made our rounds to make sure all of the guests who were going to speak understood how to use the wireless microphone, and to make sure they knew when they were going to speak, and in which order. Very organized, and proactive.
Once the wedding party arrived, Steve introduced himself, instructed the party how to enter the room, in which order, and made sure there was no questions. Each couple had their own song to enter the room. My daughter Ashley was part of the wedding party, and she wanted ACDC Back in Black, … as she entered, the music intro started – there was just so much energy in the room. It was awesome!
The dinner music was also great – some old classics with Frank Sinatra, and some orchestra music with the horns playing … very relaxing, and enjoyable.
The night started just like it ended. Full dance floor!!!
We did have 1 complaint. The complaint we had was that Steve wouldn’t let our guest leave the dance floor because he kept playing hit, after hit, after hit and just as one song ended, and our guests were planning to go rest and get a refreshment – next song was another dancer … all night the floor was packed. I was hearing that next time, Steve needs to bring big fans because they were so hot from the high energy and dancing.
The playlist was top notch and just compliments all night long! I think my favorite, was Copperhead Road line dance – the boot stomping was awesome – the entire 2nd floor was shaking!
Steve is a true gentleman, an experienced professional, an expert in this field, and a kind person.
At the end of the night, Steve was just like family and we even departed with a hug – Steve was great and I honestly hope to meet Steve again, just to talk and spend time together. Great person, and the best DJ I’ve ever experienced!
I didn’t mention value yet. You can’t beat Steve’s value – I would have paid much more for the experience he provided …
Sincerely, Paul E. Berna, (Father of the Bride)
