Then we met closer to the day of my wedding to plan and organize all the details. On the day of my wedding Steffen and his assistant were awesome and very professional! Steffen is a true professional DJ and MC. His voice was awesome every time he got on the mic! He sounded so good every time he made announcements! His music was perfect and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Soto’s Entertainment DJ’s are very fun, professional and very organized. They are the best. I highly recommend them so don’t wait too long to hire them for your wedding!

hat he didn't play the processional music for the mother's, because he didn't know who they were. When we arrived at the reception, he pronounced our name incorrectly when he introduced us. He also mispronounced one of our honored guests names. Then he had sound problems with *awful* feedback noises. He was flustered and upset, but apologized profusely and tried to recover. We were not pleased. Our guests all complained about the feedback & poor sound quality. The owner happened to be working the reception next door, so he came over to help out. They told me, on one of my numerous trips up to the dj table to ask what was going on, that the hotel must have a problem with their wiring. Eventually, they worked out the sound issues. However, most of our requested songs were not played, we could not hear the announcements, and we were overall displeased. I emailed the owner with my list of issues and asked for him to provide some form of refund. He offered to meet with us in person, apologized profusely, and tried to explain everything that happened. We asked for a little less than half of our money back, and he did refund us promptly, with apologies. I think it was an unfortunate event, with an otherwise decent company.
