Dream Wedding DJ!
We had our wedding on October 9th, 2021. It was a postponed date from our original 10/10/2020 date, but as we all know, COVID had other plans. From the very beginning of the postponement process, Michael, AKA DJ CUBAN, was an absolute allstar to work with. He was professional, compassionate, patient, and understanding every step of the way. His calm and collected demeanor never faltered even with all the curveballs my husband and I threw at him. Planning a postponed wedding through a pandemic was no easy process. All the decisions and last minute changes were exhausting and overwhelming. However, anytime we needed to communicate with Michael, my husband and I would breathe a sigh of relief, look at each other and say, “man, I am so glad we chose him”. He understands the process. He knows the hard work, challenges, and personalization that goes into planning such an important event, and he was there for it, for all of it. Michael was gracious and intuitive as we navigated plans for a bilingual reception. Michael’s native Spanish was a big factor in why we chose his services for our wedding day - my family is Brazilian and my husband’s is Puerto Rican so, it was important for us to honor both our cultures and home languages. Looking at the totality of the planning process and Michael’s work, it is so clear that regardless of your musical preference, cultural or language background, DJ Cuban is able to meet you and your fiancé’s needs, however personalized they may be, and this is what made all the difference for us. It felt as if Michael was our personal DJ, trained, prepared, and invested in us, personally as a couple, and the needs of our family and guests. It was so important to hear both traditional Puerto Rican and Brazilian music during our reception, and of course we gave Michael a few tracks and genres as a guide, but then we stepped back, trusted his expertise, and let him take the lead from there, a boy did he deliver. Not only did he play both Puerto Rican and Brazilian music, but he played the CLASSICS. He nailed every selection as if he read both of our minds. Our dance floor was POPPIN! The way Michael seamlessly transitioned between genres and made sure to incorporate all the bops from the 90s and early 2000s (shout out to our fellow 90s babies), kept our guests tearing up the dance floor the WHOLE NIGHT. I got more, “your DJ is amazing” comments than any other comment throughout the night. The energy in our reception tent was exactly what I had always dreamt it would be for my wedding. I am notoriously picky and extremely detail oriented - needless to say, I am a tough critic and tough to please when it comes to hosting an event. Michael gave us everything and more. There is not a thing I would change from our wedding day or Michael’s services. It was incredible to watch as Michael elevated and maintained the party atmosphere, dancing along, and singing along to each song he played. Then when a guest walked up to request a song, he would lower his headphones, smile so politely, and softly say, “of course I can play that”. This was the greatest indication of Michael’s professionalism during the night. As we’ve all experienced, many DJs get visibly irritated when you make a song request. They can make you feel awkward for even asking and that can totally kill a guest’s party vibe. DJ Cuban honored mine and my husband’s requests, and those of our guests with such grace and enthusiasm - there was nothing more we could have asked for from him.
If your desire is to have a ceremony and reception atmosphere that feels intimate, personal, and memorable, then DJ Cuban is your guy. We cannot say enough about his skill, his professionalism, and his integrity. He gave us the party of our dreams and for that, we will forever be grateful. Book your most special day with DJ Cuban, trust us, you will be so thankful you did.
