r late, which meant our ceremony and cocktail hour had to be delayed since we had to wait for him to set up. Since I had entertainment planned during the cocktail hour, I had to pay for an extra hour of entertainment ($240) and ended up having to pay the venue an extra hour to make up for his tardiness ($300). When he was supposed to play music after the ceremony for our processional, there was complete silence for five minutes. Our family and friends eventually had to clap us out down the aisle, and only when we were halfway down the aisle did music start playing—the wrong version of our favorite song. (He had been given the correct one.) We had given him a list of songs and Spotfiy playlists for each moment through a survey—before the ceremony (which he couldn't use, because he was so late once he got settled we went right into the party), for the cocktail hour, and wedding. He played the wrong songs during the cocktail hour, leading to a pretty low-key quiet storm mood when I wanted funk, soul, afrobeat to be played. During the reception, the mic cut out during the Best Man and Fathers of the Bride and Groom speeches. He didn't properly direct people for dining. And he played a number of songs we asked him not to play, including songs with explicit language. When he happened to play songs we did want, there were a number of times the music just cut out and he would restart it again. It was complete amateur hour—there was a point when I was responding more to his constant mistakes than our happy occasion. Thankfully he wasn't able to completely take away from the joy of the day, but no one should have to deal with that kind of incompetence and unprofessionalism—especially on their wedding day. ProDJ KC told me they fired him, and is in the process of refunding us. But even getting Perry as a DJ for free is too expensive—he cost us $540 extra dollars we weren't planning on spending and peace of mind. He told us he understood what we wanted, and that he had DJed more that 90 weddings—he was wrong on the first count, and definitely lied on the second one. If you're looking for a professional, talented DJ and MC for your big day, run in the opposite direction of Perry Holliday.
