We danced all night

I loved the planning sheet that Music By Design provides. We had a lot of songs that we really wanted to hear and quite a few we did not. The sheet made that so easy, and was such a great reference for planning the ceremony. They also provided the photo booth, which was a lot of fun.

Highly recommend Jim!

Jim did a fabulous job and really cared about us and our day. Spent over an hour with us walking through our song choices, my custom processional worked perfectly. Can’t thank him enough!

Stress Free Experience! Made our wedding memorable!

Working with Music By Design was the best. They are super responsive through email. I personally built my own playlists through Spotify and they were so helpful with that process and helping me with the links.

Our Dj David was honestly a heaven sent. My brother in law was our officiant for the wedding and this was his first time doing so. He said that David was setting up the music/mic for the ceremony site, and even giving him pointers on what to say to the crowd. My brother in law was so grateful for David’s help! With the ceremony he made my vision come to life. David also made it a less stressful ceremony process!

Then for our reception, it was absolutely perfect! He even included our Polish tradition to sing “Sto Lat”. And when the older guests were sitting down, he made sure to include them by playing the Polish songs I had included in the playlist. He works wonders with the crowd! Also his level of professionalism was out of this world. I spoke with David on the phone and said I wanted our wedding to feel like a club and for it to not feel like a “cheesy” wedding. David made it feel like I was at the club!

We had such a good time that people are still talking about our wedding! Thank you David and Music By Design! Our wedding was perfect!
