"No Macarena" DJ & Custom Music Service

on a list of preferred vendor we received from our venue/catering company. Their website was easy to navigate and gave us a very good sense of what they were about. It was important to us to have more unique song choices and we didn’t want to include certain typical reception games that just weren’t our style. In hindsight we felt they were true to their name (though they will play the Macarena if that’s what you want), they were comfortable working outside the box with us (not that we were all that far outside of it).  Their communication was prompt and helpful. The contracting process was easy. Their pricing was very reasonable, though we didn’t shop around extensively since they already came well recommended. We communicated with Sarah administratively and then were directed to Ryan who was our performing DJ for the event. They had us fill out a questionnaire and create playlists of music we wanted at different parts of the event. Then we had a very constructive meeting with Ryan where we were able to tell him what we wanted and he guided us through clarifying things we wanted, things we didn’t know we wanted until he offered it, and what we didn’t want, that in hindsight he did an excellent job respecting our preferences.  Preceding the start of the event, we only made it on-site shortly before our ceremony started due to our photography schedule. Ryan was very tactful and polite about asking us questions to assure things were setup the way we wanted, without overloading us while we were busy taking care pictures and preparing other aspects of the event. Nothing felt extraneous or burdensome, only helpful and perfectionist. The event went better than we could’ve hoped, and a large portion of the credit for that, especially regarding our reception, can be attributed to Ryan and the company he was representing. We picked a lot of songs we wanted him to play, and restricted him on use of remixes and crowd favorites. He did an incredible job organizing the music to play through the event seamlessly, cutting and speeding song up without them sounding weird in order to play almost every song that we selected. He had great equipment, everything sounded good, but also wasn’t overpowering. Our guests had so much fun, we loved it, and it wouldn’t have been what it was without him. He even took some extra videos for us of some special moments, which was especially appreciated as we did not choose to hire a videographer. We can’t thank him enough.
