I originally booked with them for photography and the pictures were done well and I received them in a timely manner. Unfortunately I also booked them to be my dj, to run the micro...phone and speaker for beach ceremony and to do a live stream video of ceremony.
There’s so much to share of what went wrong and how they didn’t show up for me but there’s not enough room to write it all here.
They asked me to produce a timeline of events for day of which I did in full detail bc I feared not getting to go over it verbally with them. Didn’t seem to matter though bc they either didn’t read it or chose to ignore it. The dj played songs that were not on my playlist, he announced at reception how the bride is very meticulous. He/the owner never shared the timeline with his sons, one whom was the photographer which created a problem bc the kid didn’t know what photo shots I wanted done or where to be when. They never really took time to get to know the couple and never introduced themselves the morning of. I wish they would have called to have a verbal conversation before the big day to go over the timeline details but they did not! The Dj had a mishap while all the guests were sitting down to eat, the loudiest screeching noise I’ve ever heard that went on forever. So embarrassing!They assured me on their own accord that they never over book themselves and the week of my wedding they did just that. They brought a broken tripod stand to ceremony that fell over at the start and the audio kicked out and the whole thing was a bust, very unfortunate. We couldn’t hear the music on the beach to know when to start walking down the aisle, a rehearsal would have helped. Due to the photographer not knowing what poses I wanted bc of not reading timeline I had to go over all of it on the spot so I didn’t even get all the shots I wanted. After sharing with them that I was disappointed and would be happy to share how they could do better for the next event they ignored responding to my email. Now I understand fully that they have no integrity. They might be a family in business but I never felt like I was treated like family as they claim. Karim told me months prior that if I don’t want a song played thru it’s entirety that I will look at him make eye contact and nod and he will quiet a song, example sand unity song plays and we finish with sand and song is still playing and we decide we’re done I look at him and nod. He said he would watch me like a hawk for cues, NEVER once did I look this man’s direction and yet not one song played thru it’s entirety, not even the ceremony song we walked down the aisle to, I’ve never been to a wedding where the music selections were cut short especially in a church setting, the only song to play till the end was the couples first dance song, wtf
And what photographer doesn’t bring backup cameras and equipment??? This company apparently.
Outside of photography I would not book this company for any other services. And I will never use them again or refer them out.
If they would have shown interest in my feelings opinions and concerns of how they fell short I would have more respect for them and this review would be different but they don’t want to have a conversation which means they don’t really care about the client or experience just as long as they get paid for showing up physically. Everyone wants a 5 star review but you have to put in the work and the heart to receive such a review. Very disappointing.
