Bill was fantastic, start to finish. He is very open and friendly and has (over 30!) years of experience with very reasonable rates. He is very flexible and has everything; all kinds of music to satisfy any taste. He said if he didn't have something, he would get it! He kept things moving smoothly during our reception, speaking with catering and making sure the timing of our buffet, cake cutting, etc. all fit together to create a seamless evening.
He handled requests and made the many kids at our reception feel comfortable even letting a couple of them take over the mic briefly at the end of the evening (not a requirement, certainly, but it was very sweet and the kids loved it). Bill uses a Bose sound system, so the music was clear and easily heard without it being too loud. Once the dance part of our evening started, he turned on dance lighting and many of the guests really enjoyed the 'disco-ball' lighting. He had a fantastic "Rat-pack" playlist that he played during the cocktail hour through dinner, and he was easily able to fill in music of our chosen genre that wasn't already handled in our request list. We received several compliments on our music throughout the evening, one person even saying he wanted our exact playlist for his wedding, (when he got married)!
After dinner, Bill handed us a CD of our first dance, father daughter and several other songs from our playlist. It was a really nice gesture and something we will always have to remind us of our special day! Bill was wonderful to work with and I can't imagine our day without having him as a part of it! I can't recommend him strongly enough!
