We worked with DJ Corey for our wedding day at the Monastery Event Center and he was absolutely fantastic. We hired Upbeats for ceremony audio, DJ services, dance floor lighting, a...nd to stream the Kentucky Derby during our reception, as we got married on Derby day.
To prepare for our big day, DJ Corey scheduled two Teams meetings with us to go over every detail one month and two weeks before our wedding. He listened to our vision and made it happen, going above and beyond. Our package with Upbeats included two large TVs and a third TV on the DJ stand to stream the Kentucky Derby and to show music videos during the reception. The setup was quite large, and DJ Corey went out of his way to do a test-run of the set up at the venue the week of our wedding to make sure everything went as planned. He also surprised us with the capability to live stream the dance floor on the TVs during the reception, which was so fun for guests while they were dancing.
Corey helped us plan the entire timeline for the night down to the minute - he helped us think through the bridal party entrance, first dances, and offered up a lot of great ideas that we would not have thought of ourselves (group photo, hand placement when cutting the cake, photo op suggestions, etc.). He was an incredible emcee throughout the reception and really kept the crowd engaged. Corey also took a lot of pictures on his phone and sent them to us the next day, which we loved!
We also had a last minute request for Corey to play a photo slideshow on the TVs during dinner, which he did without hesitation and it went perfectly.
Our only comment for improvement is that we had a handful of songs on our "must play list" that did not get played, but the dance floor was packed all night and we had so many guests tell us they'd never seen the dance floor so alive at a wedding, so we truly have no complaints!
We had such a blast working with Upbeats and DJ Corey and cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Corey!!!
