Reviews of Music on the Move DJs
Easiest Wedding EVER
Best DJ’s ever!!
The Greatest Show!
Doug and Dara were sooooooo much fun to work with! Together they helped make our wedding day an unforgettable moment. They are a magical duo to be reckoned with. Doug is a dreamer, he'll inspire you to aim for the stars; Dara is a realist, she'll help get your feet off the ground. Together they will help make your magical moment come to life, from planning to rehearsal, all the way til the music ends. We are so happy we chose Music on the Move for DJ, MC, and lights. (Our wedding was in May 2019)
Long Version:
Doug and Dara were the best to work with! Not only did they help bring some of our crazy ideas to fruition, they also offered some unique ideas to make the night memorable as well. My only regret is that I didn't take advantage of all the special things they offered.
They were great with coordinating our wedding and worked seamlessly with our venue and other vendors. It was raining on the day of our wedding, so Doug and Dara scrambled to move us back and forth between our original outside venue and an inside option. Ultimately, we were able to make the outdoor ceremony work. Thank goodness we had them to coordinate with everybody. She really kept me and my husband from feeling the stress .
The ceremony sound was perfect! Doug provided all the microphones for my now husband, our officiant, and wedding singer; they worked flawlessly throughout. And as a result, our wedding videographer was able to capture our wedding vows clearly and with no drop offs.
Inside the ballroom for the reception, the lights they provided were fantastic! They illuminated the room and really captured the mood of the night. Soft calming colors were used during dinner and speeches, but when it was dance time, the club lights came out. Everyone had a great time!
We are so happy we chose Music on the Move for DJ, MC, and lights. They made wedding planning that much easier and were so much fun to work with!
One word, Amazing!
