Our DJ Mark Dixon hosted our wedding at Café Nuovo in Providence Rhode Island and he really made the difference! Not only did we feel this way, but SO many guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the atmosphere he created by playing all t...he right tunes and reading the room to make sure the dance floor was full the ENTIRE night! He not only has intuitive music selection, he knows the right thing to say at the right time to keep the flow going.
When we first met with Mark 9 months out, we explained to him we weren't hiring a wedding coordinator and that this event was the first time so many of our family members and friends were meeting. He gave us such invaluable advice on room set up and how to lean on our vendors to help us through without a coordinator. He stayed in touch with us leading up to our wedding and was always available for questions. On the day of our wedding, he helped us make last minute adjustments on ceremony and flow that made a HUGE difference in the energy of the room and the structure of our ceremony. It was so perfect and uplifting. You would be wise to trust his advice because he's so experienced and has a wonderful personality on top of it all. He also worked seamlessly with the other vendors to make our wedding like clockwork. And none of them met before! Now that is professionalism at its finest.
One thing I want to be sure to mention is that my husband and I have very opposite musical taste (I love hip hop/rap/r&b; my man loves rock and none of those other things). It’s the one thing we didn't see eye to eye. But we did our homework, split up our music selections and turned it all over to him. Mark played so many of both selections integrating them seamlessly. Not only that, my husband danced to all the other music he never liked before! I'm not saying he now loves all my favorite types of music, but we both realized (as Mark demonstrated), that in the right atmosphere and at the right time, you can make almost anything work. It's all about the vibe…and he's a master.
Our wedding could have gone sideways in so many ways considering we didn't hire a coordinator and managed our vendors ourselves. Although, it's possible to have a successful wedding without one, you MUST have the right vendors in place. If you book Mark, you can rest assured that one of the most important aspects of your wedding (music, hosting and creating that perfect vibe to suit both you and your partner) will be a success. We would recommend him to ANYONE that needs a DJ or event host. If you're lucky enough to get him for your event date, don't hesitate - book him now! :)
