I would recommend DJ Caroline and her team to everyone I know if I could. Truth be told, I was not on board with having a DJ at our wedding because I know that music can make or break a party and I was not keen on giving the reigns to someone else in that regard. My husband was insistent and I eventually caved. Now that all is said and done, I honestly can't imagine our day without Caroline.
We had a wedding Memorial Day weekend at Dunham's Bay Resort after cancelling our original August 2020 date. We felt like we connected with Caroline from the first consultation and were grateful for her being so flexible and supportive throughout the COVID wedding stress and the reschedule. I had strong opinions about music in every aspect of the day (hence my being anti-DJ) and Caroline was a true partner in developing our playlist. She listened to us and took the time to understand who we were, what was important to us and what kind of vibe we were going for. She walked (danced?) the fine line between honoring our playist requests and applying her expertise to read the crowd and adjust accordingly. I am not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was bananas for three straight hours. We had guests ask for a copy of the playlist and people even commented on the cocktail and dinner music. Having an experienced MC who "got" us made the day flow seemlessly from event to event.
We went with the digital photobooth and our guests loved it. All guests received a copy of the entire photobooth album on their phone or email. I believe the guests were supposed to get their photo sent immediately to their phones but internet service was not great so most people did not get theirs until the next morning. It totally worked out because we, as well as all of the guests, had so much fun looking at the photobooth the following day!
Caroline and her team were true professionals. My husband is from Ukraine and we had lots of Russian-speaking guests and some eastern eurpopean customs that we wanted to incorporate. Caroline embraced the multi-cultural element and celebrated it. She made the effort to learn the proper pronounciations of the complicated names of the bridal party and totally nailed it. Someone asked me if she spoke Russian! We also had some delicate family dynamics and Caroline navigated them with grace throughout the day. She also coordinated the sparkler send-off and it was the perfect end to the evening.
We truly couldn't be happier with our choice. Book with Upbeat Occasions, you will not regret it!
