Randy did an excellent job as MC and DJ for my friends' wedding reception. He came with a full…read moresound system set up, dance party lighting, wireless mic, and was able to hunt down all the odd, random songs that we needed for the event. To start, Randy played the elegant entrance music during the ceremony. He also put a lapel mic on both the groom and the officiant. This was wonderful detail that most facilities overlook. All of our guests were able to hear the couple's vows, even the folks in the very back. Our dinner was buffet style, and each table came outfitted with a name card of a television show. Guests listened for their theme song and could go up for food when the song was played. Not only was this a fun idea, but Randy was able to find my friends' eccentric shows, like Golden Girls, Reading Rainbow, and the theme song to Oprah. In all, about 30 television songs were queued. He even let the catchy themes play out, like Friends and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Months prior to the wedding, when the invitations were sent out, guests were encouraged to log on to the Everlasting Sounds website to request songs. After the list was compiled, the bride and groom reviewed the music and discarded the songs they didn't like. Most of what was on the request list made it to the celebration. It was exciting to hear your song played, plus it made for a fun variety of music. We danced to everything: The Killers, Cupid Shuffle, Elvis Presley, Apple Bottom Jeans, N'SYNC, the Pocahontas theme, and my favorite, Time Warp from Rocky Horror. During the festivities, like cake cutting and garter toss, Randy went along with the groom's shenanigans and got everyone excited and laughing through his announcing. If you're looking for a DJ north of Cincinnati, Everlasting Sounds can't be beat!

We had a change of plan related to weather and loss and of some of the app plates causing dinner to start early. The band played sooner than scheduled and they were amazing. They played more than 4 dhours without a break and the guests crowned the dance floor from the first song and danced to the last song. All our guests said they had such a great time dancing and loved the interaction with the band and they made our wedding one of the most fun and memorable wedding even I've ever attended! An amazing rainbow grew in the sky and the band played and sang Kermit the a Frog, Rainbow Connection song spontaneously. They are fantastic. Lynn Askew

My now husband and I met with Queen City DJs as they're the preferred DJ for our venue. Our first…read moremeeting went well and we booked with Brad, the owner, because he gave an impression of professionalism and the tools he uses seemed like they would avoid miscommunications in song selection, timeline and general flow of the party. We are extremely dissatisfied with the service we received the day of our wedding. The problems began before our wedding which we planned with all vendors on starting at 2:15pm. As we were getting ready our day-of coordinator told us Brad said "I'm not going to start then because I have 2:30 on the schedule and I wasn't paid for that time." Our coordinator came to us and explained this so we tried to make the best of it by getting more photos before. After the fact, we confirmed that our DJ contract said 2pm-8pm. Brad denies ever saying those words to our coordinator. We know that the day after our final meeting with the venue, Brad had a meeting with them to go over their upcoming weddings, ours included. We met with Brad after that. If there was a time discrepancy why was nothing said to us to avoid the whole issue? Next, my husband and I had a custom song made for our aisle music, a beautiful Studio Ghibli medley that is long enough for the entire processional with a specific section of the song meant for the bride to walk at 3 minutes 45 seconds. We had a link to this song in 3 separate sections on the Vibo App, including the timestamp, months prior to our final meeting. On our big day I was rushed down the aisle to the wrong section of the song. I noticed it right away and honestly it took away the magical feeling I was looking forward to for so long. No bride should ever have to feel this way on their wedding day, they should get to enter their wedding the way they dreamed. The utter disappointment we feel, even a week later, still brings us to tears. When we confronted Brad about it, he said he should have jumped to that section of the song and that he didn't know the venue was going to open the doors to my reveal. The venue and our wedding coordinator both said that Brad gave them the cue to send me down the aisle and that neither had heard from him that there was a specific cue for me. Brad denies that he gave the cue and shifted blame to our coordinator and venue. He also expressed that typically people have separate songs for parents, bridesmaids and groomsmen, and for the bride. So it also felt like he was blaming us for not following the norm, despite never expressing that our music would be a problem. We wouldn't have booked with him if we knew he couldn't handle the request. Finally he said he did no wrong because he played the correct song. Lastly we were in utter shock when our best woman and man and nearby guests told us what the DJ had said when telling them how to use the microphone for the dinner toasts. They told us Brad said to hold the microphone like you're giving a "blow job." This is extremely unprofessional and we do not take it lightly how uncomfortable it made our guests feel. When confronting Brad, he denied he said that saying he holds himself to the utmost professionalism. He can claim they are twisting or mishearing his words but we had several individuals tell us this unprompted. Despite some positives, like accommodating changes to other song requests and announcements made in the final week, these actions didn't make up for the major issues. We're unsure how all our last minute requests were met but things that were communicated months prior were missed. Brad deflected accountability and pointed out that we seemed to be enjoying ourselves but we didn't want to argue with him that day as we were trying to be good hosts to our guests and not further sour our own day. In all, we are extremely disappointed with Brad's services. We are writing this review so that no other couples have to experience what we did. Again no bride should ever have to hear about such unprofessionalism from their DJ or feel like they can't have the aisle music they dreamt of.

Even without knowing I'm in the industry, they made the day feel so special - and I would recommend them to any of my clients in a heartbeat.

I went up to him that night to get his information knowing that if I ever got married, I had to book this man. The most overwhelming comment about my wedding was how amazing the music was. We heard, "by far the best wedding music," "that DJ is incredible," and so much more. Music is the most important thing to get a party going -- which is what a wedding is! The biggest party you'll ever throw. Nemar works well with you to understand exactly the vibe you're looking for and exceeds all of your expectations. He is the most talented, genuine, fun DJ I've ever encountered and he ABSOLUTELY knows how to get the party going. He's all around, just an incredible person to have at your day and throughout the planning process. We also rented our lighting through Maize Music and it was exceptional-- it set the tone of the evening and made the space feel full, exciting, intimate, and lively. If you want your dream wedding, BOOK DJ L-TRAIN! The absolute best of the best, we LOVE him!

We were promised, in writing over a text message that I have proof of and verbally on the phone, a full refund minus the uplighting that we added to our package. We got married in 2021 and still have not seen a single penny. Nemar has refused to return phone calls, text messages, emails and has completely ghosted us. I would not recommend Maize Music because of the unreliability, untrustworthiness and lies they have told. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM.

All in all, it was money well spent, and they did a great job of hustling to the reception hall afterwards to handle the cocktail hour music too.
