If your DJ played the wrong 1st dance song what would you expect after?

I would be really upset, especially because it's YOUR first dance song as man and wife. You picked your song for a reason. To me, it wouldn't feel right not to be able to dance to that song at any other time, especially since your videographer didn't get to capture the event. I'm sorry.

This happens all the time I'm not sure if they would refund you any money but I would expect at least an apology.

Probably would have gone bridezilla. You had ONE job, to play the music and you couldn't get the most important song of the night right? I'd be so pissed. Sorry about that Shannon!

I prob would have laughed and asked him/her to switch the song. Did you stop dancing and tell the DJ he/she was playing the wrong song?

We didn't stop dancing and tell him because I didn't want to make a scene and go all bridezilla during the first dance. I just put a smile on and danced anyway. Looking back I wish I'd said something sooner but in the moment on your wedding day everything is crazy! Our wedding party was lined up around the dance floor and we went right into parent dances after. DH went up and told him about the issue after dinner (since he was playing piano during dinner). He grabbed me to say sorry while I was trying to say goodnight to guests and catch the ferry so I wasn't really listening because ALL of our guests were leaving and trying to say goodbye and that was more important at the time. I was expecting him to follow up with a call or e-mail after.

I'm so sorry Shannon!

Aww man that sucks!! I would have just told him to switch the song. You can ask for what you want without being a bridezilla and I'm pretty sure everyone would understand you need the right song for your first dance. Anyway, I would only expect an apology at this point. I'm so sorry that happened.

I'm sorry this happened. I understand why you wouldn't correct him at the time. Kind of ruins the moment...unfortunately, even refunding you money cannot make that moment right. But if it would make you feel better, I would ask.

I would have stopped dancing and waited for the right song, making light of it.

I'd expect and apology, and I'd have expected it by now. Call the company and complain and let them take it from there.

On the bright side, you're still married....

I think I would of stopped dancing too and waited for the right song that's not being bridezilla or anything just waiting for the person to get the correct song so I we can do what we gotta do I think you have been given great advice good luck.

Since the first dance is one of their biggest responibilites I would absolutely ask for money back.

This is why I have a short list of 5 dj's I recommend.

Shannon-

As a wedding DJ, I always strive for perfection. It is your day, & I want to add to it, not detract from it. Unfortunately we are human and sometimes mistakes occur.

Stating that, the first dance is the absolute most important song a DJ will play that evening. I double and triple check to make sure I have the correct song, cued at the correct spot etc. I have done over 700 weddings and I can recall only one time I started up the wrong song. I faded out after a couple of seconds and started the correct one. I took full responsibility for the gaffe, made sure everyone knew it was my mistake, & the couple danced to the correct song.

I felt terrible. I apologized to the B&G- they were fine. They contracted for 4 hours and it went over (I can't remember how long) so I gave them the extra time for free. I later did the bride's sister's wedding & another guest's wedding so everything turned out well.

I'd ask for something back. Their rep & just decency demands it. GL & Congrats!

I would've stopped right there and told him to change the song

I would have not been a happy camper. That's one reason my venue has about 2 DJs that they will allow you to have there (I mean you can book others, but they warn you beforehand that they've had trouble with them).

You should get an apology, and possibly some money back. They have only a few specific songs that they need to play and they needed to get those right!!

He commented on my review saying he had sent a prompt apology and a partial refund that I didn't acknowledge. Well I haven't heard a word from him or received any refund. If I was upset before, now I'm pissed!

It's ridiculous because he's highly rated, and we picked him based on his work at another wedding.

ETA: Can you dispute a vendor's comments on a review you write if they aren't truthful at all?

That sucks. I would have stopped during the song and told him to put on the right one. Or made H do it. Doesn't sound like there's much you can do about it now

Yeah I would have stopped, laughed, and said "hey DJ, play the right song!" You wouldn't have seemed bridezilla at all. I can't believe you kept dancing, honestly. Maybe you can ask your video guy to dub over the correct song during that part. Photos shouldn't matter.

WOW thats very upsetting. Sorry about that. However I too would have stopped and insistsed that the right song be played. Our first dance song means so much to me, I wouldn't dance to any other song.

Call him now and make him follow his word on that partial refund. If he says in a public place that he's offering, don't let him back out.
