After our initial sound person bailed on us last-minute, we asked Justin to provide the sound and entertainment for our outdoor wedding (he was supposed to be an honored guest!). And by sound, I mean discrete clip-on microphones for my husband and our officiant during our ceremony, providing wireless microphones for the speeches/toasts during dessert, and running full karaoke with dance-floor lighting for our 125+ guests. Each of these sound systems had to be set up at a different location on our wedding venue and therefore needed their own set of speakers for amplification as well. Looking back, I realize it was a lot to ask for, but at the time of discussion and during the event, Justin never made me feel like a burden or a bridezilla.

When the rental items we had ordered from an outside company (plates, cups, utensils, carafes, drink dispensers, and more) showed up 4.5 hours late and all hell started to break loose, Justin and his team stepped up to help with additional set-up without hesitation. Even though I was running around delegating tasks and directing staff, I hardly remember seeing Justin before the ceremony because they were so professional and swift-moving. Keep in mind, this was all on a 100+ degree day in the first week of October-!

Due to the aforementioned hiccups, we lost the light of the sunset we had planned on for our ceremony. Justin immediately realized the need for emergency lighting and had it set it up before I even noticed it was dark. To top it all off, moments before we were set to walk out, my husband asked me when the music would start for our processional song. I was gobsmacked to find I had completely forgotten to send the music to Justin prior to the ceremony. Justin was completely supportive and patient with all the hang-ups and managed to manually plug my phone directly in to his sound system to play the specific live-version of the song my husband and I had wanted.

I would go on and on with how wonderful Justin is as a musician, sound-tech, lighting tech, and overall person, but something is telling me reviews are not supposed to be this long…so, I’ll end it by saying I don’t know how we would have done it without him. Of all the mistakes I made arranging for our wedding, hiring Justin was not one of them. 5/5 stars - would highly recommend.
