When initially introduced to GE Productions we were very excited to see the many high rated reviews for this DJ, but unfortunately after our experience we regret using him as our music service for a multitude of reasons.

Prior to the wedding DJ Jimmy Grizzly sent a word document to be filled out by us detailing information about what type of songs should be played, what the no-plays were, etc. On this document we identified 10-15 “must play” songs throughout the course of the night, and verbally emphasized how important many of them were to our history/relationship. Not only did they not all get played, but after emphasizing the importance of at least two slow dances there was not a single one during the two-and-a-half-hour long dance portion of the reception. Two of the groomsmen on two different occasions went to him requesting a song from the “must-play” list, and were both told no. At the beginning of the reception the bride recognized that there were songs clearly not coming from the provided playlists which prompted one of the bridesmaids to notify the DJ to use the curated music. He continued to disregard this request, and used songs that were clearly from his own batch of music throughout the night.

At one point during cocktail hour the groom realized that the special surprise song to be used for the mother-son dance was being played, and was in no way included in the cocktail hour playlist provided by us. We emphasized to him the importance of the cake cutting ceremony seeing as it was a generational family tradition and stressed that all guests would be directed to observing it. The DJ made a very small and brief message about the cake cutting, and continued to play dance music throughout it. We found out after the fact that a number of guests, to include family members, had no idea that the cake cutting had even taken place and missed it entirely.

The worst failure on his part occurred when he failed to follow the timeline, and forgot the blessing of the meal to be given by the groom’s grandparents. In the month prior to the wedding they had called/texted on a weekly basis emphasizing how honored and excited they were to have a part in the day. His failure to adhere to a simple timeline took away this once-in-a-lifetime moment for them that cannot be given back.

Knowing what we know now, we do not recommend the services of GE Productions. It was clear that the emphasis was placed on personal desires for DJing, and not focused on what was important to us on our special day.
