    Canceled the day of my wedding

    Everything seemed to be working out perfectly until the day of our wedding. I reached out to Scott while I was setting up and he said he couldn't come that there was a death in the family and he would be in touch next week. No replacement was sent or even a suggestion. We had to scramble the day of, hours before to get a last-minute DJ. I gave him two weeks, then after not hearing from him, I reached out via text and email about the refund. Scott proceeded to give me an attitude about the money and told me he would be making payments. Essentially he was paying me every 2 weeks a portion of the refund...

    1st Choice DJ Service's reply:

    Yes, I didn't show up. My Uncle died that morning and I couldn't go. I apologized and was in the process of returning all of Jamie's money. She contacted me before the 2nd payment was being made and accused me of having a attitude. Then I get a letter from the BBB. I made the second payment, but she wasn't happy.

    Con Artist

    My daughter and son-in-law were provided Scott's name by their venue. My daughter called and made the arrangements for their wedding, then COVID hit. After changing the date and the venue several times, they finally had to cancel their date.
    When writing to Scott via email informing him of their unfortunate decision they had no control over, they requested their money be refunded. Scott told them that he was essentially out of business due to COVID, he paid for leads, and a new event planner and offered them $400 for literally doing nothing. He never even met them in person. He was charging them for his choice to be in business.
    My daughter offered him $200 for holding...

    Too many mistakes that he couldn't fix.

    Groom of a wedding scott was hired for. First, as the bride was ready to walk down the aisle and everyone is waiting and anticipating it, this guy has to ask what song he's supposed to play even after we had submitted the entire playlist for every occasion as he requested. Then, he couldn't get his equipment to work and had to play the song she walked down the aisle to from his phone, and we got to enjoy some nice commercials before finally being able to proceed with the ceremony. Then, for the first dance of the bride and groom, he called us up and we're waiting there ten minutes and finally our caterer had to step in...

    1st Choice DJ Service's reply:

    This is the mother of the bride spouting off on things she does not know anything about. I have 30 years of experience in DJing weddings. Also, it was a very hot day. Temperatures were in the 90’s and high humidity on this day.
    The bride put 4 songs in for the ceremony music, and I found out when they lined up for the ceremony, she only needed 3 songs. The song for her to walk in was Michael Marc Canon in D which was played. That is the song she had requested.
    She gave me the complete list of bridal party introductions on that day. Also, the songs were not completed until the day before, when they are...

    Do not hire!!!

    We rented the photo booth from Scott (contract signed & deposit paid) for our big day.
    I reached out to him the day prior to our wedding, & was told he cannot make it. Note that his site states that, there are multiple employees.
    We purchased frames for every guests & props as well in preparation for the booth.
    He had no intentions of showing up or even reaching out to us.
    He refused to refund our deposit.
    It took over a month of texting & contacting a lawyer to get our refund back.
    He intends to scam hard working people out of their money & had no remorse of his actions.
    Thankfully we did not book him as a DJ, then we would have been really screwed.

    Scott was wonderful.

    Scott made my daughter’s wedding reception a memorable event. He played great music and interacted with the guests. He did exactly what we wanted. I would absolutely recommend Scott for your event.

    Made the Night!

    My family always emphasized how your DJ can make or break your wedding. Well Scott definitely made it! From the first moment we met him at a bridal expo he was confident and sure that we would be DJing our wedding. We met a few times beforehand and he was so outgoing and easy to work with! The wedding day was perfect. The events (games, garter, bouquet, etc) were so fun and engaging. The songs were great and he really kept the party going! I don't know that a single person had a bad time!

    Zaborowski Wedding

    Scott was very easy to work with and very understanding with last minute changes because of weather. There was music from start to finish a total of 7 hours . Everyone had a great time and the mix of music was awesome. He kept the evening fun and flowing. He made the reception about Nick and Sierra as well as the guests.

    My only comment to help would be the priority songs that were chosen and put on the website by the couple should be played before requests or make sure that all priority songs are played before all the requests, other than that, it was all wonderful.

    We had a great experience with Scott, and 1st Choice DJ Service! We live out of the area and Scott was flexible and willing to come meet us before we even signed a contract. He was enthusiastic about helping us plan a great reception. We received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from our guests about how much fun they had thanks to 1st Choice DJ Service. We would highly recommend you give Scott a call!

    Scott did both my ceremony and reception. The songs he picked out for my ceremony were absolutely beautiful. Scott did an awesome job interacting with the guests and keeping everything running smooth. We also got our photo booth through him. Which he offers a discount if you do both. Our guest had a great time at the reception and still talk about how much fun they had.

    My wedding was on September 10, 2016. I began my search for a DJ at the beginning of 2016. I secured the services of 1st choice DJ in January 2016. My fiancé and I spoke to Scott at length about our vision for our wedding. I met with Scott in April of 2016 to review the time line and begin planning our event. By July I had paid off our balance and had completed the outline provided on the website. I spoke with Scott on Tuesday September 6 regarding the final details and reviewed all the details. Scott arrived for my ceremony as planned at my mother’s home. However, when I arrived at our reception location I was accosted...
