Got a few services from Al Dee for the wedding, will review each. One quick note on paying up front. That is the case with vendor we spoke to about any service. TLDR: Al Dee offers some very reasonable rates given all that he packages in the services. We do not have the photos yet but the wedding was just before Thanksgiving and it takes weeks anyway. The experience on the day was perfect. Each member of his staff was very friendly and quick to help in any challenging situation we threw their way. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a full service wedding vendor. DJ We met in person for our first meeting. Then exchanged email and phone calls afterwards. He mentioned at our first meeting that he has many weddings going on so he would need reminders of our wedding when we would speak with him. Being forgetful myself, I totally understood and reminded him before meetings and in emails. Ceremony music was perfect and just as we requested. Reception music was great and Al was amazing at reading the crowd and adjusting things as needed. At one point only like three people were on the dancefloor for the cupid shuffle and he rewound the song and came out to the dance floor to help people start dancing to the music. Awesome. We came in to our requested song then went right into our first dance. Perfectly timed and smooth. We had planned parent dances after dinner. We finished eating early and decided to say hi to our guests and we requested another round of formal pictures at the reception. So we ended up talking then doing our photos real fast (this is where our requested songs were played) then came back to people already dancing. I thought this was nice. Al saw the situation had shifted and kept our guests from getting bored. Once we were back, he cleared the dance floor politely and got the parent dances started. He also listened to crowd requests and made announcements of events or little reminders, stuff that we didn't even think of until that night but he helped us out on. I do remember the mic cut out a bit during the second speech. The problem was fixed quickly and it also may have been because neither speaker really held the mic right by their mouth so I think Al had to adjust settings on the fly so that their voices were picked up. The colors for the uplighting we had are perfectly changeable to any shade you need and he helped us pick a color that would fit our theme. What he didn't tell us but we LOVED was that the lighting actually is timed to music. The lights that were set up by our table flashed and popped as the music went on. It was awesome. Photobooth We also booked a photobooth that came with an attendant and prints of the photos for each person in the pictures. Our guests loved it and were all over it. Almost every time I glanced over there were people taking snaps in the area. The attendant was very friendly and when my wife and I went over he helped us out with a nice set of poses to start then had us do our own thing for a set or two. I also noticed that he would tilt the photobooth as needed to ensure the framing of the photograph was nice in each situation. I really liked that he did that along with making sure everyone got a copy of the photos. Overall, I would have liked a few more props but what they did have was great and the only complaint that I personally had was that I didn't get more pictures over there. Photographer Rodrigo was our main photographer and Coral our second/assistant photographer. Both were super personable and nice. Rodrigo is a professional and will do anything for a great shot. He has a good eye and strives for perfection in what he goes after. He showed us a few pictures as he was snapping them and everything looked awesome. Really excited to see how it looks when it comes back. He also gave us plenty of tips before hand and we had a very nice and informative phone chat with him before the wedding that honestly set all our fears to rest. We made some crazy requests for formal photos, just in terms of family and who we wanted snapped after the ceremony. He helped us get it done fast and efficiently then we moved to our formal photos. Coral was great with the groomsmen photos. Listened to our suggestions and knocked everything quickly with tons of smiles all around. Both photographers were awesome with our secondary round of photos during the reception. They had stuff staged and brought us out to get a few quick shots without eating too much time. Both brought their A game to our wedding. Edit: Pictures came back for the photo pod and from Rodrigo barely two weeks after the wedding and everything looks awesome! Added a few photos for reference. read more

Al Dee Productions - Photo Pod sample from our wedding - DJs Near Me - Maitland, Florida

Al Dee is an absolute professional at what he does. We had heard he was an incredible DJ and Emcee for weddings but then he told us about his photographer and videographer and it made that whole process so much easier. The music, lights, coordination, everything was fantastic and we had an incredible time knowing he had everything taken care of. We will absolutely be working with him again for birthdays and corporate events in the future. read more

Our wedding was on March 12, 2017 at Ceviche. Al Dee was recommended to us from a friend. I remember my friend said "you will not be disappointed" and that was a understatement. First Al Dee did an amazing job of mcing our wedding. Everything seemed to be seamless and flowed perfectly. His song recommendations for certain parts of the wedding were perfect and fit us so well. Once the party started, Al made sure it did not stop. We danced all night and I mean all night. The music choices were perfect the mixing was on point and just a overall great time. Our guests still rave to us about how great of a party it was. Al Dee we are forever grateful for making our day as special as it was. Thank you so much. Sincerely Todd & Debbie Wexler read more

Al Dee productions was recommended to i.e by a friend and we later found out our venue had them listed as one of their recommended vendors, and the event specialist specifically mentioned DJ Flash. They made sure we were prepared plenty in advance and took the time to set up additional meetings whenever we had any questions. DJ Flash took the time to review all our special requests and made sure we were on schedule throughout the evening. He somehow knew just when to play each hand selected song and made sure to meet all other additional requests. The uplighting was perfectly panned with our theme and timeline of events. Prior to our wedding DJ Flash provided some of our best tips and suggestions that proved to make our night memorable. DJ Flash also was our MC, his energy and enthusiasm kept the crowd entertained throughout the entire night. I had predicted a lot of people leaving early since it was a weekday evening event, yet most people stayed until the very end. I could highly recommend Al Dee Productions and DJ Flash for your next event!! read more

Al Dee Productions was awesome. We had them Dj our wedding in June of 2015. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. I had so many compliments on the DJ. They definitely made the party. read more

Al Dee Productions did exactly the same thing to me as he did to Amanda K. I had hired him but instead he sent someone else that also he told me a couple hours before the contracted time when I called him for something else. I gave two lists of songs to him to play a month before the event. To my surprise his guy was not playing my songs I asked him about it. He said he got the list just 2 days ago. He is downloading now. When I complained to Al after the event he said he himself couldn't come because of his back and he was not supposed to stand long hours. OK, what's the excuse for not playing MY songs. He said His guy Kevin took a video and you were dancing and having good time! He called me liar. What's it got to do with my dancing and his not playing MY songs. I had to keep the party to go on, Right. Bad business manners. He charges hefty ($850) for a job that is not upto par. He collects immediately before the event starts too. K R. read more

TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!! We live an hour away from Maitland and paid extra for Al to send a guy over to Lecanto. We met with Al 2 times and really liked him and were very excited about their services. However, DJ John who we were supposed to have DJ our wedding didn't call us the day of the wedding like I was told he would. I started to panic and my fiance and I began calling the office number (only one we were given) with no answer. Finally, literally 10 minutes before I was set to walk down the isle I got a call from Al. He told me that John's alternator had broken down and that he was sending Gabe to do the job instead. I was happy they were sending someone else, but I shouldn't have had to worry on the day of our wedding, they should have called sooner. Then Gabe didn't play any of our requested songs that we had written down. Also, the nice DJ booth that Al talked on and on about when we met with him was not there. Gabe was seated behind a regular old table like we were at a middle school dance. The worst part is that when we tried to called Al and explain our frustrations and disappointment he didn't have anything nice to say and made excuses for everything. So unprofessional. DO NOT GO WITH THEM! read more
