Noone will be surprised if I say weddings are alot of work, very stressful and go by in a flash. You get nervous about alot of decisions you make, knowing you'll only be seeing their work on the big day. You put alot of trust in your vendors b...ecause you have no choice but to hope you made a good decision. With that said, TLC was an easy choice. Adrian DJ/MC'ed our wedding, we also hired them for uplighting as well as a photobooth - and they nailed all of it.
We've all been to weddings where the DJ is obnoxious, loud, pushy. We are laid back people and that would never float with us. From the first meeting it was clear that TLC is set on matching and complementing us and they did that perfectly. Adrian was the right level of energy, while keeping the party going. Not corny, not cheesy, nothing cringey - just did a great job.
On the day-of, TLC was there early they were thorough in their setups. We had a very minor miscommunication in one of our equipment selections that was likely my fault - but TLC fixed it in minutes without blinking an eye. This is key! Stuff happens... and you need a professional company (not your cousin with a laptop) who can react, who knows their business, understands the venues, who has redundant and backup equipment.
Uplighting: couldnt recommend it more. Its an upgrade to your package, but well worth it, it turned the venue into a very dramatic space. We chose amber to match the candlelight, but pretty much any color is available.
Photobooth: we selected the "Air Lounge" photobooth and it was great. I've had several guests telling me how they really enjoyed the photobooth and hadnt seen one like this. A photobooth attendant helps out all night.
I was expecting some bored teenager who presses a button all night - but instead had a profesional, helpful and personable attendant. Unlike other photobooths from other companies, this is high quality. I'm a photo-snob, and I was able to quickly notice that they are using a DSLR camera (meaning a pro grade camera). The quality of the prints is excellent, and they arent stingey.... if there are 4 people in the picture they'll make a print for everyone. They provide you digital photos after the event and the quality is excellent. They also provide a large album and include a copy of every photo in it and allow the guests to sign it. Tip for other couples - dont bother with a traditional "guest book", we had a seperate guest book and at the end of the night ours was virtually empty. Meanwhile the photo album was packed with great photos of friends and family and some heartfelt (and drunken) notes - its really a very special momento keepsake. All really well worth it.
Overall, TLC was professional, helpful, understanding and great to work with, their years of experience in the industry is clear. Their prices were competitive, fair and transparent. I would hire them in a heartbeat and would recommend to anyone else.
