Had a very difficult time actually getting ahold of the DJ. He did not call me until the night before my wedding to finalize everything. He was unable to get my first dance song and the groom mother dance. Since he did not call us until the night before we could not do anything about it and were stuck with a song we didnt really want. It honestly was really upsetting and none of the music we wanted was played.

I was not able to decide on a song for our introduction in the days leading up to our reception. (Usually, there is an upbeat song playing as the bridal party is introduced.) When we talked one day before the reception, he assured me that he would have it taken care of for me and to not stress out about it. The day of our reception, there was a guy that walked in wearing a wife beater with tattoo sleeves. My husband went and introduced himself and explained how to pronounce all the names in the bridal party. As we were getting everything set up, my husband happened to walk outside to find our DJ with his pants half down, exposing his boxers and smoking a cigarette. There was never an apology or explanation to which there was a bathroom located within feet of where he was setting up his equipment that he could have used to change. There was NO music playing as our bridal party was being introduced and he completely messed up their names. There was no build up to the bride and groom walking in and it was completely embarrassing. When he finally came up to ask me something, I could smell the cigarette smoke and his eyes seemed glazed as if he had been drinking alcohol. Then, when the bridal party was to give the toasts, he did not have a wireless microphone so they had to stand across the room to give their speeches, making it very impersonal. When we talked on the phone the day before, he said we would be doing the cake cutting 1 hour after being there. We had a frozen cake and right after we served the food, he announced the cake cutting. Everyone was scrambling to get the cake out of the freezer as it had not even been 30 minutes. We had cupcakes for our guests instead of cake and my mother told him several times to announce to the guests that they could get the cupcakes and he never made an announcement. I had told him to play easy listening music, such as Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson during dinner and there were several 80s rock songs and rap songs being played. When it was time for the bouquet toss/garter toss he didn't even have to songs playing until people were on the dance floor. Every wedding I have ever been to have an upbeat song playing to get people on the dance floor but there was NO music, making it very awkward. Our reception was very small and made up of mostly family members that were middle aged or over. He had the music very loud and was playing inappropriate songs for the age group. My mother had asked him several times to turn the music down, as there were very few people on the dance floor and people were trying to talk to one another. He did not have personality while making the various announcements and there was never any encouragement to get out on the dance floor. He took several smoke breaks throughout the night right outside the door where everyone could see him through the 50 foot section of windows he was standing infront of. I am VERY disappointed in the DJ and WILL NOT recommend them to anyone I come in contact with looking for a DJ.
