Endorsements
Jeff "DJ Shyne" Mader is one of the most on-point and professional DJ's I have the pleasure of knowing and working with. He brings a unique talent of mixing tunes that many other DJ's severly lack. He pulls it together with effortless ability. Not only that but he is a quite able Master of Ceremonies and will energize even the most conservative of crowds!
VENDOR RECOMMENDATION: BEST DJ EVER - Jeff Mader from ECF Entertainment I am also a professional Day Of Coordinator at my self run company Meaningful Details. I was so floored by Jeff that I have to tell you about him! On Saturday I worked with Jeff Mader from ECF Entertainment. (http://www.ecfentertainment.com/formal.html). Hire Him. He had everyone dancing, was a fantastic MC, and kept the partying going from start to finish. He played songs that everyone enjoyed, kept everyone up to date on the logistical part of the evening, and made sure everyone was having the best possible time. If you're looking for a DJ who will get people on the dancefloor and keep them there, this is the guy for you. We're even starting a DJ/Day of Coordinator partnership in the next few months because we liked each other's work sooooo much. He was professional, fun, energetic, talented, positive, and truly just wonderful. I hope you'll consider hiring Jeff for your wedding, you won't regret it - he's fabulous!

Tips and Advice
The single-most important piece of advice we could provide would be to BE YOURSELF!!

Weddings and formal functions are inherently stressful. Stress can take you out of your normal character...creating what we now label as "Bride/Groom-Zillas"

Allow yourself to shine through. As vendors, we want to know and fully grasp your true personality. The more you can be true to yourself, the easier it is for us to do so, and the easier it becomes to deliver the most unforgettable night of your life.

Congrats and Happy Planning!
