"We've worked with Bryan and the crew at Tagas on many different events from weddings to corporate. They have a great slogan that says it better than I could: "Anyone can play music, plug in lights, or press record. We entertain you and your guests, artistically and beautifully capture the moments of your day, and design/create a masterpiece of lighting and decor to transform your location." A perfect example was a wedding that we did with Bryan with a couple who requested non-traditional wedding party music. Well, they're guests weren't interested in dancing to what they had chosen. Bryan was able to change it up a little to play a mix of the unique choices and the crowd favorites to get the party going. It was from dull and uninspiring to a great celebration. Don't you want someone on your special day who can read the feel of the party and DJ accordingly? If that's the case, check out Tagas! "
"Bryan is the most AMAZING DJ! Everyone always loves him and I promise people WILL dance if he is your wedding DJ!"

Tagas Event and Production Services was a great addition to our wedding day. Our DJ, Brian, was able to book us on very short notice and work with us to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. Tagas is accomadating to every situation and creates a custom package to fit the needs of your wedding. I highly recommend their services!

The reason that I chose to hire Tagas for my wedding DJ and videographer was because another vendor recommended them and said they were great. Well it was my mistake for taking their word and not doing further research on this particular DJ. Bryan Taylor is the owner and who was our DJ. To start things off Bryan is very hard to get in contact with and cancelled more than one appointment we had with him to go over our wedding details. I was told to fill out this extremely long packet and have it submitted 60 before the wedding the packet basically informed the DJ on our song preferences, first dance, father daughter dance, and so on. After a couple cancelations from Bryan he did finally make time to speak with me but it was the day before wedding and over the phone. On the actual wedding day Bryan was 1-1/2 hours late. He showed up about 5 minutes before I walked down the aisle which was nice considering he DJ'd the ceremony.
The night went by really fast as most weddings do when you are the bride and when it was all over I realized that Bryan never did my bouquet toss or a garter toss(which I had specific songs for each that I had included in the packet). I was really upset because I felt that this was a very important and memorable part in any wedding and definitely not something that should have been forgotten. When I emailed Bryan and addressed the problem he sent me back an email that was very rude. He blamed me for not doing the bouquet toss and garter toss due to the fact that he claimed I ignored him. He didn't even apologize for being over an hour late and again had some excuse for it not being his fault. No one at the wedding remembers him trying to get my attention. He is very unprofessional and can't take responsibility for his own mistakes. I now understand why he always changes his companies name. It was previously Complete Media Group and there are some pretty awful reviews on that company. I also got my videography done by Tagas and it was very very poor quality to say the least. Beware of Tagas Production because you probably won't get what you pay for. I learned the hard way.

Tagas Event and Production Services responded with the following comments:

Kellie,
Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you feel the services you contracted us for did not meet your expectations. Tagas values our client's opinions greatly, but to be fair to potential brides reading your review of our company and to the reputation of Tagas, I must point out a few inaccuracies.

Inaccuracy #1 – Canceled Meetings. I apologize if our schedules made it tough for us to find a time to meet, however I keep regular office hours Tuesday – Friday and am available often times beyond that to meet or speak via telephone with all of our brides. I try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate the schedules of all clients. Looking back over my calendar and all emails between us, I see that we never actually had an appointment, so there was no way I could have canceled one. I have a series of emails between us discussing a time to talk over the phone but there was not a time available due to both of our schedules that would work until the day before the wedding. It is unfortunate that this was the case, however that would not in anyway have negatively affected my knowledge of the plans for your wedding day. Our 7 page planning packet ensures that we have all information needed to make your day run smoothly and just as you would like it to.

Inaccuracy #2 - Late arrival on wedding day. Yes, I did arrive to the venue much later then I had planned and for that I am sorry. I would never want to do anything that would cause one of my clients to worry or be stressed. I left with plenty of time, however 2 separate accidents on I-4 turned a 20 minute trip into a 2 hour trip. I spoke with the videographer so that everyone else could be informed and I arrived as soon as possible. I was able to have the ceremony music playing before most of the guests had even arrived to the ceremony site and was able to remain nearly invisible behind some shrubs. I do apologize if my late arrival did cause concern or stress for you, but I am happy that the ceremony was able to start on schedule.

Inaccuracy #3 - Skipping the Bouquet and Garter tosses. I can assure you that I did not forget about the bouquet and garter tosses. With over 500 weddings performed and a detailed itinerary in front of me throughout the night, I can 100% promise this. Just to be sure, I reviewed the raw footage from the wedding video. On that footage I am clearly seen and heard announcing the garter and bouquet tosses immediately following the cutting of the cake as was scheduled on the itinerary. I am seen announcing these traditions three separate times, over the course of 2 minutes. At one point, the videographer actually tried to hand the bouquet to you and you completely ignored her. I am unsure of what the circumstances surrounding this was and I am sorry that those tosses did not happen but I can assure you that I did not forget about them.

Inaccuracy #4 – Changing the company name. Before Tagas, my business was known as Complete Media Group. Complete Media Group is a franchised business, a franchise of a national company. In the summer of 2008 I left the franchise and started my own independent business under the Tagas name. I did not change the name to escape bad reviews as is claimed. I changed the name because I had to, because we were no longer a franchise of the parent company. In fact, Complete Media Group's profile only had one negative review it was left many months after our name change. The amount of work, time, and cost associated with changing a company’s name is not worth escaping one negative review.

Again, I am truly sorry that your expectations were not met with Tagas. We strive to provide every client with a great experience by exhibiting the utmost care, concern, and respect, and to treat him or her as if they are our only client. I hope that you see by my explanations that I truly cared about your wedding day and did my best to handle the situations that were out of my control to make your day special.

One word, phenominal! For my wedding on October 10, 2009, Tagas provided me with DJ and videography services. Jimmy was the DJ and he was excellent, totally fun and even made sure my husband and I had beverages the whole night! Alisha and Matt did the videography and they were so non-invasive I hardly knew they were there! Everyone did a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to hire them again! I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! Bryan Taylor the president of Tagas is very accomodating and eases any concern you may have as a bride! Two big thumbs up! There is no question as to who is the best, Tagas!

My husband and I were SO pleased with Tagas Productions. We have never seen a D.J. transform a party so quickly. Everyone had a blast dancing and laughing (thanks to the groomsmen leading the YMCA dance). We were also very impressed with how oraganized Bryan was. When we met for the first time it was nice to have a packet ready with all the explanations in it. It was very easy to contact him. He made sure that he returned your phone call within hours of leaving a message.

If you are looking for a D.J. Tagas Productions is definitely who you want to go with!

DJ Marco was awesome! He is really great at getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping the guests excited. I pretty much left everything in his hands, and he made it great. I even asked him to warn me when he played the cheesy dances so I wouldn't have to do them (cha cha slide, electric slide, etc) and he did! I am so happy with our decision to go with TAGAS!

It's hard to give Tagas a rating, because the DJ was excellent, but the pre-wedding preparations were very poor. The rating I chose is for the company itself. We had a 9 page booklet to fill out about our wedding including what songs we wanted played and when, etc. We submitted the booklet 60 days before the event as requested and we were supposed to be able to meet with the DJ before the event. That meeting didn't happen as promised (despite our attempts). While we were eating dinner the DJ came up and asked us what the mother/son dance was and then he told us that he didn't have it (it was included in the packet we submitted 60 days before...) Fortunately, he was able to get online and download the song we chose. Two days before the wedding I received a call and an email from a lady at the office asking me to send in a certain song we had chosen. I immediately replied to her email with the song. During the wedding, they didn't play the version we had sent to them, but another version (the one I didn't want played). They did do a great job mixing the Father/Daughter song (we had Soulja Boy in the middle of Tim McGraw's "My Little Girl"). As I said earlier, the DJ (Jimmy) was fun, upbeat, and accommodating and he did a great job getting the party started and keeping the party going. I would recommend Jimmy himself (he definitely earned 5 stars), but not the company because of the poor preparations.

This company was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Working with Bryan was wonderful, he was ALWAYS available. Never once did I call and have to talk to a machine, which was amazing. The videographer they sent did a fantastic job. I dunno how he managed it but he was everywhere at once, and he was very good at being invisible. I never even noticed I was being video taped my whole wedding. Alisha was my DJ and she was great! She kept the party going when it slowed down, the music choices were amazing I was getting complimented all night on the music and how it was such a great mix. Now what topped the cake for me, was the lighting. I had arrived at my wedding to get ready before the lighting was up, and the room looked nice. When the elevators opened from my bridal sweet and I saw my venue again, the lighting was up and it took my breath away. The room was transformed, it became my dream wedding, and the lighting was what did it. I just vivdly remember the elevator doors slowly opening and the flood of pink and purple all around the room.

I would and have reccomended Tagas for any event and especially for a wedding. They made it for me!

Thank you again!!!

My husband and I were so impressed with both the DJ and videography of our wedding! Bryan was outstanding! He completely took control of our reception and followed everything we wanted to do. He was able to get people dancing and keep them dancing for almost the entire reception. He involved every guest, and even got my husband's parents (who don't dance) out on the floor several times! Not only was he amazing with our guests, but he was amazing with us. It was obvious that his sole reason for being there was for my husband and I and he did and said all the right things that made our day even more special. We received so many compliments on how wonderful the mix of music was and that it was the most fun people had ever had at a wedding! The videographer was outstanding because I never even knew he was there! He was able to video our wedding and the reception without being intrusive. When we received our video back, we were so impressed by the footage and editing. Having the video done of our wedding was the best decision we ever made. It's nice to have the photos, but the day goes so quickly and the video allows you to relive those special moments and be a part of ones that you may have missed. We will have that video for the rest of our lives and each time we watch it we'll remember how amazing that day was, and TAGAS captured it beautifully! THank you, for everything!

There is no better way to descibe Tagas than perfect. The level of customer service that Bryan provided was excellent. for example in the middle of the wedding we requested a song that he didn't have. He was able to download and get the song in the set list immediately after the request. He really made our wedding very special. All of our guests loved the music and really it was because of his experiance in his field. Overall I can not say enough good things about Tagas and Bryan. We highly reccomend them for your music needs.
