This DJ should only stick to doing small events and photography. The DJ timeline took the whole night. After all the speeches, special dances, the bouquet and garter toss, it was 9:30pm, which only gave guest roughly an hour and a half to dance. The event started at 4pm and ended at 11pm. (Due to venue hours we had to be out at midnight) I don't know what was in the contract between the DJ and the bride but its common sense and the DJ is still getting paid for whatever hours were in the contract. The DJ would not coroporate with wedding coordinator. Got the names wrong druing line up for the Grand March but the wedding party quickly adjusted and lined up for her. Was asked and told to do speeches during appetizers, she waited till after dinner to do everything, speeches, special dances, bouquet and garter toss. Which took up alot of dance time for guest. There was a little mishap with the sand ceremony at the church so the couple moved the sand ceremony part to the reception.(which worked out great) But then DJ the basically outted the coordinator in front of all the guest! You don't do that, the guest did not need to know about anything that happens behind the scene. Then during the sand ceremony the mic cuts out on the officiant. The DJ didn't announce cake cutting when the coordinator asked her to and when she did announce the cake cutting, it was already over. Then again towards the end of the night when cake was being served, no announcement until after guest realized cake was being served. As the MOH and BM were giving their speeches the mic feedback twice.Then being the professional she claims to be, took it upon herself to give a speech to the newlyweds after everyone else gave their speeches. Just because you personally know the couple doesn't give you a right to do that. Alot of the guest where confused to why she was giving a speech too. That's something you do off to the side, you were at the wedding to DJ not a guest. Made a inappropriate comment during the father daughter dance and both mother son dances, that made guest uncomfortable and awkward. For example "give your dad a big old kiss" The DJ tried to be energetic and entertaining but failed, some people have that ability and some people don't. The generation dance was way to long. It took 4 songs to get through the generation dance. Druing the dance a few couple just ended up standing there on the floor because dancing in a circle gets tiring. Then a few of the guest watching were getting bored after the second song. The DJ was asked and told by three people, after the current song ends, you need to stop playing music. Since we had to be out of the bulidng at midnight, it was 11:15. She didn't stop till 11:45 and by the time we got done cleaning, she was just then packing up her equipment, she didn't leave till 12:09am. (Which wasn't a lot of time wasted but still) Around 10:55pm one of the bridesmaid told the DJ after the current song is over time to stop the music. Then the DJ told the bridemaid, well I am doing to do what the bride wants me to do. Two things wrong with that, one, why would you play music, when we had to be out at midnight and majority of the guest are gone. Tables were flipped, linen was folded, chairs were moved and trash was taken out. Second, just because the bride hired this DJ, doesn't give the DJ justice to keep playing, she had a coordinator and help for a reason, so she didn't have to deal with this kind of stuff. So the bridesmaid explained to the bride what was going on and what we still had to do, so she could tell the DJ basically shut it down so we could get the rest of the guest out and continue with clean up (rolling tables across the room) The DJ tells the bride the she is gonna play till 11:30pm, so then we told the coordinator and the bartender over heard us and the bartender took it up pond herself to tell the DJ to stop and that was. I am not saying she is horrible but could use a lot of improvements.

From the start, Jerald DJ JayDub from For the People Entertainment was a true professional. He genuinely cared about making our day perfect and was so easy to work with. He took the time to understand our musical tastes, and the online planning portal made everything so easy. On the day, he was incredible. The sound quality was perfect, and he kept the dance floor packed all night long. He has a gift for reading the crowd and playing exactly what everyone wanted to hear. Our guests are still talking about how great the music was! He also did an excellent job as our MC, keeping the night flowing smoothly.

We made a plan, confirmed the numbers and showed up to a great meal. Our time frame got delayed for a half an hour. Ms. Rob's was "on it" making adjustments to ensure amazing hot food for all of our guests. We fed about 110 people in a little over an hour and never ran out of anything or had to wait for anything. Everyone raved about the food. There were tons of leftovers for our guests to take home and we also had tons of leftovers! Thank you for making our day even more special! You were amazing!

She was a godsend when our first venue fell through and she made sure that our next location accepted all our vendors. We were dealing with some difficult personalities, and she handled him with tact, kindness, and had him eating out of the palm of her hand! She also can apparently read minds, because I told her "green, simple, pretty" as the design inspo - and our venue was PERFECTION. It looked like a romantic, lush wonderland. I could not have asked for anything more beautiful. Her team took my husband & my priorities seriously. We wanted the dance floor open as soon as possible - so they kept the timeline flowing, kept dinner moving, and got us dancing :) Also - on top of it all, her rates are far more reasonable than the competition. And I can say, based on the pitches the other coordinators gave... Tami is the BEST in her industry. She makes you feel like you are her only client when your wedding day is nearing. Hire her. Seriously, it was the best wedding planning decision we made.

We've only seen the previews of our wedding pictures, but are looking forward to seeing the rest of them more than anything! Not only was she focused on making sure that she took pictures of everything she thought we would want documented, but she was so open and flexible with making sure that we always got the pictures that WE wanted as well. She never once said no to taking a picture and was always willing to do what we asked. She really understands that even though her job is to document the details of the whole day, what also matters is what the couple wants documented throughout the day. She worked with us at every turn to make our day special. She always wanted to make sure that we were comfortable and on board with every idea she had that wasn't scheduled in to the day. Furthermore, she always asked our permission if she had an idea that wasn't previously discussed, and that level of kindness couldn't be replicated in another photographer. We originally chose to go with Laurelyn because of her unique, light, and beautiful style. You can tell that she works incredibly hard to make sure that each day feels special and unique. She is obviously incredibly talented and her skills can't be overlooked. We have gotten so many compliments on just our preview pictures!! She's a truly kind person and will work so hard to make your day special and as easy as possible. We would recommend Laurelyn to anyone looking for a photographer and would never hesitate to choose her again.

Our wedding-planning process had several unique aspects: a) enormous family size (over 300 people on the groom's side!) b) multi-cultural ceremonies -- i.e. Indian & Persian-American c) different cities -- one family wedding in Chicago. one with our close friends in San Diego. Overall, we ended up having MULTIPLE wedding ceremonies and receptions and we hired Laurelyn for all of our events, including our engagement photo shoot. Prior to the first event, we sent Laurelyn examples of the look we were hoping for, and she was spot-on! Our engagement shoot and wedding photos (for all events) looked PERFECT... they had the exact urban/rustic look we desired. Laurelyn and her assistant also did a perfect job following our timeline (making sure we took photos with everyone), but also carefully took the time to ensure that our final photo assortment had a very candid feel, and were not overly "pose-y". Laurelyn was extremely professional throughout the wedding planning process. She was super-responsive to email, and spent time to get to know us as a couple to learn our vision for our big day. She also did not charge for cross-country travel for the wedding and even brought in an extra assistant free of charge to make sure the day went by smoothly. We would DEFINITELY hire her again for future events. Thank you Laurleyn!
