I originally reached out privately to the owner, Matt, about our experience and waited a week for a response, but never heard back. Because of that, I felt it was important to leav...
e an honest review for future couples.
Unfortunately, our experience with Maylina as the DJ for our wedding on April 11, 2026 was very disappointing.
Before the ceremony even began, there was no equipment set up — no microphones or speakers until the very last minute. It created unnecessary stress, and one of our family members actually had to help get everything ready in time.
While I requested music to begin during dinner, the volume throughout the night was consistently much louder than expected. I had provided a list of preferred songs and genres ahead of time, including a good amount of country music, but none of those songs were played. Instead, the music heavily focused on EDM, which was completely different from the atmosphere we discussed and wanted for our wedding. Even more frustrating, several songs that I specifically requested not be played were still included.
I had also provided a detailed timeline in advance that aligned with our photographer and reception schedule. Despite that, throughout the night I was repeatedly approached with questions about announcements and timing for songs and events. As the bride, I shouldn’t have had to coordinate the flow of the evening during the wedding itself.
We still tried our best to enjoy the night, but many guests ended up leaving earlier than expected because of the music and overall flow of the reception. After putting so much time and effort into planning our wedding, it was upsetting to see things handled so poorly.
I normally prefer to handle issues privately, but after receiving no response, I feel it’s important for future couples to know about our experience.

Hi Aysia, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear you left your wed...
ding feeling disappointed, as that is never the experience we want for any couple.
We did respond privately to your email on April 24th at 8:08 AM and have reached back out again because we would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience further with you directly. Thank you again for your feedback and for bringing these concerns to our attention. 05/01
We have since connected directly with the client regarding this matter and were able to clarify a misunderstanding surrounding prior communication attempts. After speaking further, the client confirmed they intend to remove the review as the concerns have now been addressed and remedied.
We appreciate the opportunity to connect directly and work toward a resolution. 05/03

For the most part, they did a pretty good job. However, they missed some crucial and important revisions that were discussed with the DJ prior to the wedding day (i.e., a voice mem...
o to my fiancé prior to me waking down the aisle (the memo was played as I arrived at the alter and confused everyone), they played the wrong song I walked down the aisle to, they didn’t introduce the family at the tables at the beginning of the reception as noted in their intake form, and lastly, they forgot to do the blessing prior to dinner started. The blessing was only done because my guest went up to remind them. I understand changes get done, but these were crucial moments I will never get back again.

From the very beginning, Matt has been incredibly attentive and responsive. He’s taken the time to understand our vision and what we want for our big day, offering helpful suggestions along the way to make the day even more special. Even though we're still in the planning stages, Matt's professionalism and dedication shine through.
What really stands out is how personalized the service has been. He’s been open to customizing the music and making sure we’re happy with every detail. The communication has been easy and stress-free. I’m confident that our wedding day is going to be incredible with Matt and his team behind the music.

We hired him for our wedding, and he truly made the night unforgettable. From the ceremony music to the last song of the reception, everything was perfectly timed and exactly what ...
we wanted. He kept the energy high and our guests dancing all night long. Matt was also a fantastic MC, keeping the night flowing smoothly with great announcements and even throwing in a couple of fun games to keep everyone engaged. He’s professional, friendly, and really knows how to read the crowd. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! If you’re looking for someone who will bring your event to life, DJ Matt Franco is your guy!
