Carlos did an amazing job! We gave him a do not playlist, and told him exactly the vibes we were looking for and he killed it! One of my favorite things is that he has a turn table so the transition from song to song is flawless. My guests love...

We absolutely LOVED Cortez! He was so helpful and supportive of everything we wanted to do, no matter what it was. I asked him to announce some things, bring certain versions of tracks, and a bunch of other little requests and he always respond...
ed with "no problem". I was even able to text him throughout my reception to ask questions (for my wedding party entrance, for example) and he responded so quickly. I'd throw a wedding every year if he could DJ it. Incredible!

veryone would have fun. And EVERYONE ended up dancing at our wedding for the entire night, the younger and older people! He also rolled with any unexpected requests and changes made on the fly during the wedding. Two of our wedding guests wanted to surprise us by serenading us and Cortez made it happen without any interruptions or stops in the party. It was a seamless event and Cortez was absolutely the reason why! His spinning was great and he even put on a light show! He is also extremely affordable! So I highly recommend his services to anyone!

I wrote an unfavorable review about this DJs services on another website. Unfortunately that website does not allow a rebuttal to the DJ’s response to my review. Long story short, this DJ was 10 minutes late to the reception and my husband said...
he went to the car 10 minutes before the reception was to start. He said he was getting take from his car. I’ll let you make your own judgments on that one. Then after we were introduced he announced for my guests to go outside to get food. We were actually supposed to do toasts next, plus we were getting played food served to our guests at the table. Now my main reason for writing this review here is because this DJs excuse, which he wrote in response to my review, for not knowing my timeline was that I hired him 2 days before the wedding. I just cannot let that lie stand. We were married in October. We have an invoice from April that year which showed we paid our deposit and another from August showing we paid for his services in full. He was the one who requested to review our timeline with us 48 hrs in advance of the wedding, which we did. The schedule we made was clear and we emailed him a copy. His statement that we hired him two days prior to the wedding is ludicrous and insulting.
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2018
Hello Jamie, I remember your wedding day. It was October 14th 2016. I also remember responding to your review on the wedd wire the next day. I'm still sorry that I assumed your toast was going to be during dinner and that people would get th...
ere own food. Thank you for immediately correcting me and making sure I did it like you planned. There was no real reason for me to miss that and I truly apologize. I also remember going across the parking lot to get some tape out of my car for your photographer as I explained in my reply to your review in 2016. The photographer had the old lighting system that had the bulky cords. When I saw a kid running and almost trip over the cords I offered your photographer some tape to secure the cords and keep people from getting hurt. My car was originally by the ceremony & reception hall but the staff made me move my car all the way to the parking lot which was far away from the venue. I ran to my car found the tape and when I came back I even taped the cords down for her. On the contrary I am happy that you where pleased with my performance for your wedding ceremony and that your guest keep giving me compliments on how good and where shocked how packed the dance floor stayed all night. I was also hoping that you saw where I left my phone number and offered to give you partial refund for my mistake when I replied to your review. I do still at this moment hope that you and your husband are doing great and that your marriage is everything you dreamed it would be. Please let me know what I can do to make you feel better about this. You can call me at 859-396-6505
Thank you
Cortez
Cortez did an awesome job! Our guests were dancing all night long, including myself, who isn’t much of a dancer lol. We have him a list of suggestions, just so we covered all our bases and he did not disappoint. I highly recommend his service. ...
He was so easy to work with.

hat soooo easy. We had a last min change in songs and he was on it. All the pricing was negotiable and we knew costs/dates upfront. Very professional with contracts and communication from the first phone call to the end of the event! He even helped us clean up!!!! Thanks so much Cortez for making my girls day!

Hello Misty, thank you so much for leaving me a review.
Most unprofessional business I have ever had to deal with. First, we were accidentally under quoted by $125 to which we received a "so sorry." We decided to still go with Mr. Cortez and his djs on the condition that there were no more novice e...
rrors. I reached out about sending in the check only to be told three weeks out from my wedding day that they booked my date because they "thought we might have chosen another dj" which is a poor excuse for double booking my date. Any reputable business would have done their due diligence. In the very least they should have read my last email that stated we were booking them and sending payment--- and at the most had the decency to ask us in person before booking another couple. Instead they just assumed and canceled on us. If you wan't to assume this is a great vendor, then do so at your own risk. But be warned.
Response from the Vendor on 05/09/2018
Hello Kylie, thank you for leaving a review. I am truly sorry we were unable to cover your wedding. However, I did offer to have another DJ cover your big day. The DJ wasn't with my company, but I wanted to make sure you were covered. I also c...
alled and messaged you several times to see if you wanted to use our services before booking my DJ with another client. I never heard back from you so yes, I did assume that you booked another DJ. Our DJ did get booked on your wedding date with another couple and I'm sorry that happened but I tried contacting you several times, before booking him for that date. 6 weeks had past & we still hadn't heard back from you, or received a deposit to secure the date, nor s signed contract. You first contacted me in March of 2017, but I never heard from you again until almost a year later. You missed our meeting on March 23rd 2018 and I messaged & called you the next day and asked if you would still like to use our services or reschedule our meeting, and you finally responded on May 1st 2018 and said this…
"I actually have something Friday, will Sunday work for you? We actually just planned on paying in full. We will send the check today. Have you booked us or do you need the check first?"
I then replied that our DJ had been booked but if you need a DJ I could still assist you in finding one. I quoted you $125 extra because when I first originally quoted you back in, March 2017, I gave you my personal DJ rate, so the cost was substantially lower. You told me you would like to book my other DJ, but you never sent in a deposit nor did you make the meeting we scheduled, or contact me back until several weeks later. I truly apologize for any inconvenience but I am still offering to have another DJ cover your wedding day. If you still need a DJ please give me a call. I did leave you a voicemail on May 2nd 2018 and today. If I can help please call or email me at anytime. Spin It Live goes above and beyond any other DJ service to make sure our brides, grooms, family & friends have the best wedding DJ experience ever. Please let me know if I can do anything to make it easier on you.
Thank you

I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Technology/Broadcasting & Electronic Media. I decided to specialize in wedding services . I find it very easy to work with brides and grooms. When the wedding day arrives, it never fails to get a lot of laughs and people having fun on the dance floor. I treat each client as if their my first most valuable client. Personally I like to laugh and joke around a little, & I'm very easy to get along with, I like to watch comedy TV series/movies go to the gym. I will also help coordinate your wedding.
