It's taken me a few months to write this review, mainly because after our wedding was over, I didn't want to think about ANY MORE WEDDING TASKS! But, it's been on my mind to write this review because I know how much I relied on them when we were planning our wedding last year!
We got married in Austin at Barr Mansion on Dec 3, 2011 and much of our wedding was done from outside of Austin; we lived in Dallas for half of last year and then relocated to London in September and flew back for the wedding in December. So, as you can imagine, it was an INSANE year.
Working with Sean was amazing. I knew music would be super important for us because we love to dance and we love a party that doesn't stop! We interviewed a few DJ's in Austin before settling on Sean. A few reasons why working with Sean was amazing:
1. He always made everything as easy on us as possible. When you're in the middle of planning a wedding, you KNOW how important that is! Sean went out of his way to meet with us based on our schedule, when we were in town. He was always well prepared and on-time. Sean had great ideas but was never, ever pushy. The week of the wedding, in fact, 3 days before, we still hadn't given him much to work off of! But, he was totally laid back about it and, in a quick 1 hour meeting, helped us to make a lot of key decisions.
2. Sean wants this to be perfect as much as you want it to be perfect! He totally went out of his way for us. One example is that we wanted Indian music played during our reception as well and though Sean didn't have any Indian music, as soon as I sent him songs to download, he was all over it! And, by the way, I was so busy that I only sent the songs a few days before the wedding but no matter, he totally came through!
3. Sean can read a crowd. Though we had a plan worked out, Sean read the crowd and decided whether to play slower music, faster music, hip hop etc and he was SO SPOT ON! The party was amazing, everything flowed perfectly!
4. Sean listens to what you want. I met with some DJ's who seemed really opinionated, to the point that I think they were more interested in playing what they liked than what I liked! Sean was totally not like this. He gave us as much advice and guidance as we wanted, but in the end, it was totally up to us.
Overall, I'd say if you're on the fence about a DJ, don't hesitate and go with Sean. I did a lot of research into all of our vendors and it really paid off, so let me make it easier for you and tell you to stop worrying about the DJ and go with Sean! Seriously, he did a great job and I'll always remember how special he made this day for us. Thanks Sean! read more
