I hired DJ Alazzawi (Optimum Entertainment) for my wedding and am SO GLAD I did. Out of all of the DJs I interviewed, DJ Alazzawi was the first to offer to drive to my house to meet me and my (then) fiance - talk about convenience and comfort.... When I arrived, he and my fiance were sitting on my couch, and DJ Alazzawi was helping my fiance clip my cats nails! How amazing is that? But that's just the type of person DJ Alazzawi is- he is very easy to talk to, friendly, sweet - and clearly goes above and beyond for his clients! The cat grooming was just the first example of how DJ went above and beyond your typical DJ Job Description... let's just say you're getting more than just someone who plays music at your wedding. Way more.
Before the wedding, I experienced exceptional customer service from DJ Alazzawi. He replied to dozens (hundreds?) of my emails promptly and with great detail and thoughtfulness. Stuck on choosing a song? He will have a bunch of suggestions for you. Have an artist you just HATE? Add it to his 'do not play' list and he'll respect your wishes. Change your mind last minute about something? Adding a toast? Changing your first dance song? No problem. DJ will receive your request, confirm it, and execute your every wish. He even has a spreadsheet for you to fill out to make sure you don’t miss ANYTHING with your song selections (bouquet toss, first dances, grand entrance etc) and also anything related to an event where someone is talking in a microphone (the ceremony, the toasts, etc). He offers experienced suggestions based on your personal desires for your wedding day.
Day OF the wedding? You can trust him to basically BE your Wedding Day Coordinator- keeping the timing of the day on track, controlling the crowd and making sure all of your guests are where they need to be. He was punctual, professional, and engaging. He's talented which means he knows how to keep the dance floor packed and really plays to the crowd. When more than one person requested a song from my ‘Do Not Play’ list, DJ came and found me to ask permission to play the song! YES!
This is why I hired you, DJ Alazzawi. You were nothing short of amazing from the day we met to the last call at the wedding. I feel bad for any couple who doesn’t hire you for their wedding because I know it won’t be as flawless and special as the day you created for my husband and I. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope we can keep in touch (at least as Facebook friends!)
