We learned of First Class DJ from an app and verified his track record from Yelp and other sources we could get hold of. We hired him based on a last minute decision for our wedding. Mark was very responsive and enthusiastic to give suggestions despite less than a week's notice. (I think we gave him 5 days notice only).
Upon our first communication, we knew immediately we had to get him because he was very professional and we felt he was very involved in our program, with the goal of making our special day unforgettable, He was always giving suggestions to make it better.
It was very easy to work with him. Aside from his professionalism and his enthusiasm, his website was also a great help because it details a process on how he handles his wedding events. His event form was also detailed so it was very easy to just follow the flow. I guess, his years of experience gave him a good grasp on how to handle things. He was very thorough because we did a review of what will happen a day prior the event just to make sure he got the names well and how to pronounce them. We went thru the sequence a few times and communicated.
To top it all, he worked with the venue on the limited space we were given for his DJ booth set up. He managed to work out both indoor and outdoor set up and made sure that the sound is crisp and clear. His set up was neat and clean and he worked the floor really well. Our program sort of became a free flowing one on the event day itself. But Mark patiently consulted me on which part we wanted to do first, or we wanted to omit because my husband's parents were in their 90's and they werent very mobile so there were some parts of the program, like the dance, which we had to let go of. All in all, the program went smoothly as Mark pieced everything together. For a one-man team, he did a wonderful and commendable job.
We had 3 videos and only one played but that was not Mark's fault as we gave him copies of the video only the night before so the file apparently was corrupted and only half of the 2 videos played. Quite understandably it was our fault for not giving these to him earlier, as he requested.
All the music we requested got played and was appreciated by our guests because these were our choices and they could definitely relate. It was a good thing that we talked about the age group of our guests and that he asked us for a list of the songs and the music genre we preferred. The quality of the sound was much appreciated because it wasnt too loud that people couldnt talk anymore.
Mark also took photos of the event which he sent us the next day so we felt that was something beyond our expectations.
I definitely will recommend Mark, specially for weddings. He is a real pro! His ultimate objective is for the success of the event and that everyone has a good time. We feel that he is very much involved in every step of the way and he made everything easy for us. read more
