New to the business at the time but still really good!
Adit and Steven were the DJs for our October 2016 wedding. We are so thankful for their cooperation in helping to make our wedding a success. We were thankful to meet them and work with them. It was a pleasure to work with them in advance of the event. They were professional, relaxed, and demonstrated a good understanding of their role. They put us at ease, and that is VERY important and much appreciated. Planning weddings and receptions are hugely stressful. As a vendor, being able to put the bride and groom at ease is GREATLY valued, and they did that well. They came to our ballroom a few weeks in advance to meet us, they brought their equipment and set everything up to ensure it worked properly. It was much appreciated and put our minds at ease. Like I said, our wedding was October 2016 so I'm sure they have improved by now. But during our wedding they were not able to command the large crowd. Granted, ours was a VERY large - AND bilingual - crowd that didn't follow directions well. We get that. But part of the role of a successful deejay is to be able to command the room when needed. When making announcements or giving instructions, their voices kind of shrank back a little bit and became background, rather than bold. We told them it was something to work on. And I'm sure they are better since they were just starting when we worked with them. That said, we appreciated that they didn't try to insert their own personality. The wedding is about the bride and groom and family, not the deejay. We were thankful they understood that. In general, I'm sure every wedding party will appreciate that. The only other negative was that we were perplexed that there were some songs that we had to put an immediate stop to - songs that were not on our playlist. We are very conservative in regards to lyrics - paying attention to language and references. A few songs that got played crossed a line in our minds. Admittedly, evaluating what is and isn't appropriate can be a gray area and is different to everyone, and it puts the DJ in a very difficult position to make those decisions on the spot. We tried to be up front with our wishes, and that is why we asked that only songs from the playlist be played - to guard them from having to make those on-the-spot decisions while ensuring the tone and messaging of the songs was more positive and less provocative. They did apologize and offered explanation for not following what they promised to do in advance (only play songs from the playlist). Overall, we are thankful they were at our reception on our special day. It was super nice to work with them.
