DJ Pat helped make our wedding reception an absolute blast! DJ Pat is incredibly professional and organized, and was a joy to work with throughout the planning process. He ensured ...
that all our bases were covered and that the evening was thoroughly planned- from our cocktail hour background music to our closing songs. As an experienced DJ/MC, Pat was also able to adapt to things we hadn’t planned for (like dinner taking longer than expected) and foresee ways to keep the night on track (like suggesting a photo game to get pictures with every table so we wouldn’t spend the entire night in a receiving line). The dance floor was packed all night and we had so much fun. People said that our wedding was the most they've ever danced at a reception, and that they’ve never been to a wedding where so many guests danced!

I had a phone call with DJ Pat about their services. Later that evening I emailed to confirm booking. I hadn't heard back after a week so I followed up with an email. Followed by m...
ultiple texts over the next few weeks to try to connect and confirm a booking but never heard back. Prior to giving up on connecting with DJ Pat to confirm booking, my venue coordinator inquired about which DJ we were going with. She mentioned that they had subpar experiences working with DJ Pat. I ended up booking a vender recommended by my venue.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your experience. I want to start by sayin...
g: I am truly sorry. This is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and you deserved far better.
You reached out, you followed up multiple times, and you never heard back. That is completely unacceptable, and there is no excuse that makes that okay. We were going through a period of transition with new staffing, and regrettably, some inquiries — including yours — fell through the cracks entirely. That failure is ours, and I take full responsibility for it.
I can only imagine how stressful it must have been to have your event planning left in limbo, especially for something as important as this. I'm genuinely sorry we let you down and that you had to spend time chasing us down rather than focusing on your big day.
We have since made changes to ensure this never happens again, including a clearer handoff processes so that no inquiry goes unanswered. Your feedback, while difficult to read, is exactly the kind that helps us grow and do better.
I wish you all the best, and I sincerely hope your event was everything you dreamed it would be. If you'd ever be open to a conversation, I'd love the chance to personally apologize and make things right.

pertise while respecting our "do not play" list. Their ability to read the crowd kept the dance floor packed and lively throughout the night. We left our wedding feeling joyful and exhilarated, receiving rave reviews from our friends about how entertaining the DJ was and how "lit" the dance floor felt. If you're searching for an outstanding DJ for your big day, look no further than Rhythm and Romance!
