PTAK Entertainment - DJ and Photo Booth

review makes me feel like a superstar! Your wedding celebration was pretty epic. So classy from front to back. Thank you for choosing me to be your DJ. I like the part you shared about thinking everyone would leave after you had the sparkler send-off. If the venue would have let your guests stay longer, they were prepared to pool their money to extend the dancing. And I would have done it. I had a blast. I hope your honeymoon is exceptional. Thank you again!

loved your guests too. What a memorable event, even for me! I wish you guys all the best.

out to make every wedding event that I perform for a stand-out experience for my clients. It is a shame that you didn't take the time to contact me to discuss any of this. Your review has caught me off guard because so much of the event was fantastic! All the photos and videos that I took that day reflect that. I am finding responding to your review quite difficult. To be fair, it would have been more appropriate if you had shared with the reader base of The Knot, a more comprehensive version of the details instead of only snippets. So many aspects that you wrote about in your review regarding the event and actions leading up to the event day are things I am simply not aware of. Admittedly, I was challenged with some difficult-to-find, specific Disney songs that your sister (Bride) chose for the ceremony. The most challenging part was finding the obscure orchestral sources for those songs. Ceremonies are the most demanding aspects of a wedding. When I second-guessed on several of those songs the morning of the event, I needed some validation. My instincts are very keen. In my years of experience, it is always better to make changes before an event starts, rather than committing to it with questions. With ceremonies, there are no do-overs. As the matron of honor and acting wedding planner for your sister's wedding, you had a lot on your plate that day and you were being pulled in many directions. In fact, I felt badly having to pull you away to deal with some of my concerns. According to our email and text correspondence time stamps, our communications were spot on, except for one single email I missed that your sister sent because it had gone to spam. Up until that point, you had been my only contact person throughout the planning process. I don’t know if you realize, but the largest percentage of wedding DJs are not full-time performers – just as I am. I do not view the investment into my DJ services and equipment as a side gig. It is likened to a second career and I take each and every wedding that I perform for very seriously; as if my own. I would like to take a moment to expand upon your description of the bridal party’s grand entrance. At the very beginning of the wedding planning process, you wanted to have each couple in the bridal party introduced to a separate song. You provided a list of those songs and the exact timing down to the second. My response was that I didn’t feel that was a good idea because from my experience, unless the group has the luxury of a live practice opportunity for timing, the intros can get confusing for the group. My attempt to get you to consider another option was unsuccessful. Just as I do with every wedding, just before introducing the bridal party, I lined up the couples in your party to be introduced, matched up their order, and ran through their names as they were to be announced. I verified the songs that each couple was to come in to. In situations like this, the most important thing that I emphasize is that the couples are supposed to enter only upon hearing their names called out. I repeated that several times to make sure everyone was on board. They all gave a “thumbs up.” When the intros began, the couples were coming into the dining venue ahead of the name callouts. In situations like this, nervous tensions can throw people out of sync. But even though they came in out of time, the guests still clapped and cheered. The bridal party intro segment was certainly not perfect but still resulted full of excitement from everyone. Ali, I wish your experience with me had been a much more positive one. And as part of my continuous improvement process, I will plan to use your experience to make future couples’ events the best they can be. I wish you all the best.

, then it drops, and its over...just like that. Thank you for hiring me as the DJ for your son's wedding. The Whippoorwill Farm turned out so nice for the event. See you on the golf course...sometime in May. Scott

bump into you sooner than later. Scott

ing venue, I got pretty excited. It is such a great layout for a wedding. I hope everything is going well with you and Samuel. Best wishes to you both. Scott

ts were big on dancing. Although your event was a post-wedding celebration, the energy on the dance floor was amazing! And tons of fun for all age groups. See you around. Sincerely - Scott
