She said her hubby wasn't going to be back in time to switch vehicles with her and she also had to pick do do an out of town trip. I paid for the one way trip to the store. Ended up having to have some else come get me. Dont agree to a offer services to people and then wait until u pick your customer up (which was hours from when I set up the ride) to change it up. I WILL NEVER use their service again.

He is professional and delightful; he listened to what we wanted most, and he delivered!! He ensured that our May the 4th be with you wedding featured subtle touches of Star Wars for my nerdy yet adorable husband by remixing Star Wars songs with songs we love and even gifting us lightsabers! We cannot recommend this company enough!

His DJ skills were phenomenal and perfect for our crowd and venue. The set up/lights etc were perfect and set the vibe for our space perfectly. Clife had the best energy for our crowd pumping up the dance party, and creating a fun and entertaining evening. You can tell he loves what he does! We can't wait to book him for future events. Everything from booking to our event was professional, smooth, and super easy!

I have no complaints. Tony and his son did a great job with both the photo booth and as our DJ for…read moreour wedding. He took every request we had and played and hosted exactly the way we wanted. His emails were prompt and professional and we never felt like he was anything but great. He did last calls for the bar as well as got our toasts ready in a timely fashion. We even got to keep a cute little album of photos people took (which not every photo booth does included in your fee) and the flash drive as well. Definitely would recommend for a wedding!

First off, the DJ was personable, attired nicely and knew how to work his equipment. Why am I then…read moregiving him a bad review? Because he barely played any of the songs on my daughter's MUST play list and solely played what he wanted to play. I e-mailed him 2 days after the wedding and told him in very explicit but nice terms how disappointed we were in how the evening went. Guess what? The owner never answered my e-mail. That is not the way a true professional business should behave. If you can't take constructive criticism then get out of business. I went up several times to ask him when he was going to play a particular song and he would get all technical and talk about beats per second on the display. Really? Do I care about that? Hell no! Just play the song my daughter is paying u to play!! The DJ (Darrius) had his own agenda all night long, hit on some of the women there (NOT COOL) and refused to even play the last song she wanted. "I always play this song last" he said. DO NOT hire this company unless u want to be extremely disappointed. You are paying them to play what u have requested, not what they want. Out of the 25 must play songs he played maybe 10 and he played for 7 hours!! My daughter was a little drunk and she couldn't get through to him but after all is said and done, she's upset. We would have been better off and saved a lot of money by just bringing our own sound system and an IPod.

This could also be just an awesome spot to generate ideas if you're an artsy person. My boyfriend and I had stopped here without knowing such a masquerade mecca existed, but it became clear pretty fast: Balloons, Etc. & The Costume Emporium has a high cool factor if you're open to whacky stuff and associated oddities. The staff member was also friendly and open to answering my questions. Because when you're in a place this curious, you're bound to be wondering a thing or two! Needless to say, my inner young kid spirit was on full display, much like the many masks presented across the store. I wish there were more treasures like this shop. I give it my support, and you should, too. You might even be inspired to buy something you don't need (yet)!

Caroline was wonderful to work with for our wedding! From our first meeting with her she was…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and very thoughtful. (Neither of us know much about flowers or event decor and she was helpful in making recommendations based on our vision and venue). She was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and very straightforward (and reasonable) with her pricing - we didn't have any surprise add on costs! On our wedding day she was punctual and did a great job setting everything up at the venue herself. We had bud vases on the tables, a few arrangements throughout the ceremony and reception space, and she supplemented the arch at the vineyard with extra greenery and flowers (picture below!). My bouquet was beautiful and just what I envisioned after showing her inspiration pictures as well as our color scheme. I was very impressed with her attention to detail and quality of work. We were able to get everything we envisioned for our wedding florals without spending an arm and a leg! Thank you Caroline!

I would not recommend this Rock & Thunder DJ service. First,…read morethere was such a lack of communication from the owner. Several emails went unanswered, he responded a bit better to text/phone calls. I even begged him to respond so I knew he was still on board with our wedding. Second, was told they would be setting up the day of the wedding at 8 am, they showed up at 1:30 pm. I called at 1030 am asking where they were and 30 mins later was told they would be there by 1 pm give or take. (The ceremony time was 330pm, meaning guest would be arriving by 3 pm.) Two hours to set up in 2 locations is not a lot of time. Third, come ceremony time, there was no background music played, the three requested songs to be played for the grandparents. parents, and wedding party was not played (all silent). Half of the brides song was played. During the ceremony there was burst of music for 3 seconds (that was not suppose to happen). His reasoning was they were having technical difficulties on 3 different laptops (which is so crazy because it has never happened to them before) but if I look on the bright side they got the bride's song to play via their cell phone due to their quick thinking. Well, IF they would have showed up at the original set up time they could have had all the bugs figured out. Fourth, he added in charges that was not included in the original paperwork. Such a horrible and disappointing experience with this DJ who claims they were one of the nations top DJs, twice, in the Modern Bride magazine. DO NOT USE!!

Rock and Thunder was recommended to us as a referral, and I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations. I gave them my playlist via excel spreadsheet and they adhered to the customized list very close (there were a few dj requests/plays but they read the crowd excellent). At one point during the reception, Adam let me know timewise our dinner music which had gone long due to a delay in the serving time, some of the dance songs wouldn't make the cut timewise as planned - I cut out about 6-8 tunes so we could go for the Must-Plays (i.e. Africa). Towards the final songs, he even offered to play longer (minimal if any charge) but our reception time was up - - he did sneak in healthy closing song to send our guests out happy. Price wasn't bad, for the value it was worth it. Apparently they do a mean light show , but we knew our guests wouldn't need anymore coaxing than a few drinks and good tunes to get dancing. As a bonus they helped set the tone with our you-call-it bridal party intro song (individualized songs per bridal party member request, an 8-10 second snippet), that was perfect. Excellent job R&T. Well done Adam.
