I was the wedding planner for my sister's wedding. Having never done this before I was completely stressed out. To make it worse it was a three day wedding spanning Thursday thru Sunday with much chaos in between. If I did anything correct, it was hiring High Fidelity to DJ the event.
Craig is an amazing DJ! He went above and beyond all expectations - from rehersal dinner to ceremony to reception he took care of everything. He even helped with the bachelorette party! We changed our minds on song lists / ceremony start time / dinner start time / first dances / rehersal - pretty much everything - over a dozen times with only days (minutes in some cases) to go for the wedding. Craig took it all in stride, and made sure everything ran smoothly. He was respectful, professional, and upbeat the entire weekend. I have had several comments from our guests saying how this was the best wedding they've ever been to, and I know Craig had a lot to do with this.
Craig if you read this...THANK YOU...your help kept me sane! Your services and attitude are worth far more money than you charge :)

Craig was an important part of our wedding's success. Our guests are still commenting (1 month later) about what a great DJ we had. He sat down with us personally several times before the wedding date to give us ideas about music, alternatives to bouquet/garter tosses, and a beginning ice breaker for our guests. They all sang for their supper which was not only incredibly funny, but allowed people to meet everyone at their table. Craig is very personable and goes above and beyond to meet his customers' needs. We wanted a powerpoint presentation and gave him the disc to add that "special touch". He did an incredible job on a part of the reception that added so much and meant a great deal to our parents. We were not very "hands-on" with the planning, but didn't have any concerns about Craig's choices and ideas. It was comfortable, fun, and very memorable. My husband and I would absolutely recommend Craig for anyone looking for a great DJ service that believes the customer is the priority! Thank you Craig for an incredible experience!

Craig was fantastic. At least 20 people said it was the best reception party they had ever been too. Most of our friends are in there 50's and 60's so that saying alot. Many more said it was a really fun party. Craig's attention to detail and keeping everyone envolved was very evedent. Dave & Cheryl

I would highly recommend Craig's services to anyone seeking a professional DJ for their Wedding or special event. I can't say enough great things about him and the high level of service he provides!! He is very knowledgeable in his field and was there for us throughout the entire process which was a big help and much appreciated (with the zillion things a couple has to do for their big day it's always nice to have a vendor who goes the extra mile for ya)!! We rec'd several compliments after our Wedding asking "where did you find him?"!! He really kept the day flowing smoothly and kept the dance floor hopping!! :) It was a wonderful day and Craig contributed to the success of it!!

Many guests commented that the DJ was great, and some even asked if we knew him personally (but we didn't meet him until a little bit before the wedding). Craig made everyone feel comfortable and got all of the guests involved, and everyone had a great time.

Hi Fidelity is a great company to do business with. Craig was who I met with leading up to the wedding, and had great ideas for planning and coordination, and really put a lot of time and energy making plans for the event. Mike was the actual DJ that did my wedding and reception. He was amazing! He went above and beyond the normal call of duty. He was always checking with me to see what he could do to help, he did a wonderful job of making sure the entire day flowed well and that everyone was having a good time!!! Both Craig and Mike helped to make our special day even more amazing, I will definetly reccomend their services to people I know.

Craig did an exceptional job at our ceremony. From the initial meeting to our special day, he was professional, on time, good natured, and above all extremely competent. Our guests remarked what a good job he did, and several took business cards to use his services in the future. Most of our friends and guests said that they had never been to such a "fun" wedding reception. He is magical at getting everyone involved in the moment!!! Working with Craig was a dream. He has good ideas and is very willing to accomodate our ideas as well.He is a wonderful listener. Great personality, great stage presence, and very good at what he does!!!

I have used Craig Brown with High Fidelity Entertainment for numerous events and have never been disappointed. He is focused, personable, professional and he doesn't leave out any details. He was great in helping with other areas of planning our events as well as helping the day of the event with setting up, layout of the event area and anything and everything else that we needed help with. He is entertaining and his attention to detail can not be topped. He sets an example for what business owners should aspire to be like. We can not say enough about Craig's committment to making our special occasions memorable, perfect, and everything we imagined them to be. He is the best in the business!!

Craig was great. He spent several hours with us on several occasions, and was willing to spend as much time with us as we wanted. He came to our wedding site months before the wedding to help plan, and was there for the rehearsal. He has a vast knowledge of all kinds of music, and is very creative. He really got our guests involved. We got a lot of compliments on our music.

Craig Brown of High Fidelity exceeded our expectations! He made our daughter's wedding reception a really fun and memorable event for all. We still hear what a great time our guests had because of Craig. We will not hesitate to recommend Craig to all of our friends.

I was very disappointed in High Fidelity Entertainment. We spent a lot of money for what we thought was going to be a high quality DJ. We had a meeting with Craig to decide if we wanted him to be our DJ, and he sold us. We thought that everything was fine and dandy, but as the event got closer, we were the ones that had to make the phone calls to meet with him, even though in the contract it says that he takes the stress out of wedding planning. Craig essentially wanted to be our wedding coordinator. Mark and I had been emailing Craig keeping him in the loop with when our rehearsal dinner was going to be and he knew when the day of our event was.
The week before our wedding, we asked to meet with Craig to go over last minute details, and that's when he said he wouldn't be able to make it to our rehearsal! I was furious because we were spending a lot of money for this DJ, and expected him to be there. He sent his business partner to the rehearsal. In our opinion, his partner was A LOT friendlier and helpful than Craig ever was.
When we met with Craig several times before the big day, I felt like my opinion did not count. He had these big ideas in his head for how the day should look, and myself (the bride) did not want to have the day look like that. My now husband, Mark, and I had made a detailed schedule of what the day was going to look like and how we wanted tables dismissed, and Craig sabotaged that. We had these trivia questions that we wanted to have asked-in order to make the line not become very large and kill a little time--and Craig just kept dismissing tables one after the other with a trivia question...even though we had asked him to let some time in between the questions! AND, he didn't even follow our schedule. Craig did things when and how he wanted.
If I could get a full refund for the day, I would. Craig had promised to put all this time and effort into our wedding, and he made it seem like we would get everything we wanted. He said, "because I am a full time DJ, I can put all my effort into your event. Unlike those cheaper DJs that only do this part time, I have your event ready to go AT LEAST two weeks before the event." Well, I can tell you know that Craig was scrambling the week before to even START on our wedding. Craig, if you read this, I think you are a decent man, but a HORRIBLE DJ and I will never recommend you.
Also, I am disappointed it took Craig 6 months after our event to have us fill out a survey! This is not professional. He kept calling us asking us for our e-mail, even though we've emailed him several times before our wedding. I am seriously not happy with High Fidelity Entertainment and I will even dis-recommend this company.
Craig, if/when you read this, please do not contact us again unless it is to offer a refund of any sort. Thank you.

Craig Brown and High Fidelity where such a blessing for us. Craig sat down with us and detailed the entire reception. He even talked with the hotel convention coordinator to hammer out details. He went above and beyond.
Thank you.

Our wedding day was the most FUN day of our lives!!!!
Basically, I'd been at a young adult dance when I was just out of college that Craig dj-ed. This dance potentially could have been one of the most awkward ever because it was a bunch of religious people who didn't know each other at all. ...and the dance was one of the most fun times that I've EVER had. I told myself that I would have Craig at my wedding.
Fast forward 6 years, I found Craig! He was a lot more than I expected (and was willing to spend), but it was definitely worth it. We picked most of our music, he was extremely reliable, and everyone just had the BEST time dancing. We had to kick people out they were having so much fun!! It was just a GREAT GREAT party and it was all due to Craig.
Some people think this is a good place to save $$, but if you want the most fun party ever, I would consider spending your extra $$ for great dancing.
