Doug was very professional in all he did at our Anniversary party. He was nicely dressed for the occasion and made the whole atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. Many great comments were shared after the party about the professionalism Doug showed. Definitely would hire him again should the need arise. Thank you !!!

uring our appetizers and our wedding reception. But we had to ask him multiple times to change the music as he wasn't playing the music we had discussed or our playlist we spent hours creating for him. We also requested that whatever song he plays that it be the clean version, but unfortunately we had a few upset guests as there were explicit versions of some of these songs playing. He also would announce the upcoming reception schedule like a play by play and we also had to ask him multiple times not to do that as due to time constraints we had to cut some things that were previously planned. He did not do well with change on the fly. He also went over to my parents and asked for payment in the middle of the reception, even though the night and his DJ job was not over.
Response from Professional Sounds. Expect The Best Wedding DJ's. on 01/18/2024
Thanks for your feedback, sorry that we didn’t meet your expectations! However, we would l...
ike to clarify a few things. First, your husband tipped us, indicating that he was satisfied with our services. Additionally, other attendees at your wedding have also booked our services.
Regarding the music played at your event, you never asked us to change the music multiple times. We gladly played as many of your requests as possible and also fulfilled the audience's requests. We have a digital record on our laptops of all the songs that we played at your wedding, which confirms that we only played the clean versions of your requested songs. However, we must note that playing the clean version of a song does not ensure that some guests on the dance floor will not sing the original explicit lyrics of a song.
As your wedding was running 70 minutes behind schedule, I deleted some activities from your itinerary to save time. We did this only after checking with you to see if you still wanted to do everything. We kept your guests informed of the activities so that they could enjoy your wedding to the fullest. Moreover, we helped your family and friends to navigate three different areas of your wedding venue. We would also like to point out that you only paid for the sound systems for two areas (your ceremony and reception), but 30 minutes before your ceremony, you requested an additional sound system for the appetizer and cocktail hour, which we set up free of charge!
Finally, we would like to clarify that the contract you signed (which you have a copy of) clearly states that the final payment is due within the first hour of the event. Most of our clients pay the balance due within the first few minutes of an event, without us asking. We only requested payment from you at 10:30 pm, which was five hours after the start of your ceremony. We apologize if this caused you any inconvenience.
