My husband and I made some really great choices with our vendors for our wedding, but booking Pat & Sean may be the best of them all.
I booked them somewhat blindly - I came across them on The Knot and was excited to find a duo that did both l...ive music and DJ (I knew I wanted both, and went into my search thinking I would have to book two different companies to get everything I wanted). I watched all the YouTube and Facebook videos I could find of them performing acoustic sets, and was sold. I wasn't too sure what I would be getting in terms of DJ services, but I figured I'd roll the dice.
To start - booking them was seamless. They were so responsive and immediately answered all my questions. This continued through the entire wedding planning process. All emails were answered within hours. It can be so stressful trying to reach vendors and firm up details, it was such a breath of fresh air dealing with Pat & Sean. As things were hectic on my end in the weeks leading up to the wedding, they even reached out to make sure I didn't have any questions for them or changes to my requests/timeline (it is really rare for vendors to take that initiative).
As I mentioned, I watched as many clips of Pat & Sean as I could find. These recordings were what prompted me to book them - but, wow, those do not do them justice. They blew me away the first time I heard them at the wedding. They performed acoustic during the ceremony and it was unbelievable. I asked them to learn a new song for when I walk up the aisle, so I was nervous as it wasn't on their normal (extensive) playlist that it may not live up to expectations. When I heard the first few notes I got chills - it may have been better than the original version. They made the ceremony feel so personal and intimate. It was beyond what I could have imagined. They also performed an acoustic set during cocktail hour - I missed most of this as I was taking pictures, but two weeks later my guests are still talking about it. They also had multiple set ups so they did not miss a beat between the ceremony and cocktail hour. I don't even remember hearing the slightest lull in the music - everything flowed perfectly.
What I really wasn't sure of was how they would perform as DJ's - I kind of figured when you get such great live music you somewhat sacrifice what you get from them as DJ's. Boy was I wrong. From the second we wrapped up our first dance, guests were on the dance floor all night. I'd go to take a break from dancing, but then next song would be so good I couldn't sit down. We provided a list of must play songs, but forgot a few of my favorites - it didn't matter because they played them all! There was not one song I didn't want to dance to. We also requested one slow song - they read the crowd perfectly and played it at just the right time. Sometimes that kills the dance party, but the dance floor was packed all night. During her MoH speech, my sister quoted a song and next thing I knew Pat & Sean were playing it - it was just so thoughtful! I've never heard such a range of people rave about the music at a wedding - everyone was pleased!
Honestly, if you want your wedding to feel special and personal and be the party of a lifetime you have to book these guys!
