I honestly thought I left this review a long time ago, but apparently not. It’s been over a year since my wedding, and people are still talking about this DJ — unfortunately, not i...n a good way.
It started with the setup before the wedding. He scheduled a phone call two weeks prior to go over details and song choices. I had already filled out and submitted my song list before our call. During the call, he told me that the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to wasn’t possible because it was a custom track and should have been sent weeks earlier. I was heartbroken and ended up in tears that night.
The next morning, I emailed him again (through my husband’s email) with the same song link, just asking if there was any way to make it work. Within minutes, he replied, “No problem! I can totally do that.”
So… why was it such a big deal the night before when I was the bride?
When I called to go over details about the venue setup, he brushed me off, saying he had been there before and it would be fine. I still gave him my venue coordinator’s number just in case. Later, my venue coordinator told me that the DJ clearly had no idea what he was doing — and after hearing my full experience, he actually put this DJ on their “do not use” list.
At the wedding, things didn’t improve. He wasn’t engaging, made song mistakes (including my husband’s garter toss song), and overall gave off an unprofessional vibe. Looking back, if I could change one thing about my wedding, it would be hiring this DJ. Honestly, I would have rather had my grandpa try to figure out an iPod and Bluetooth speaker than go through this again.
