Our dance floor was jumping from 7 to midnight, and I couldn't be happier that all our guests seemed to have as much fun as we did. Kudos to your company for making it happen. I know we had a challenging set up with our venue, but they made everything flow seamlessly while requiring minimal help from us. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend David for any special event.

TLDR: Hiring Star Production DJs was my biggest wedding regret. I wanted to leave my own wedding…read moreearly because I was so embarrassed about the DJ. Spoiler: They don't actually mix music - they just press play on a Spotify playlist/control the volume. It all started with the fact that I couldn't get anyone to talk to me until the week of my wedding. I chased them down a few times leading up, when I finally got connected to Jim aka "JIMBO" about three days before the event. I had some interesting/unique requests (it was a multicultural event, so needed to mix music from 2 different countries) that I wanted to clear by and hear the perspective of a professional DJ/mixer. When speaking to Jim, it felt like he was not listening to my requests or questions. He talked over me and just kept saying "how easy it was going to be." I had to just give in at some point and hope he got the gist of what I needed, but I obviously still had reservations after our call. It turned out I was right to have them. At the wedding, he disrespected my father when he asked for basic things (like, "it's getting to be dinner, please let the guests into the reception space, who are older and need to sit down"), instead Jim only wanted to listen to my mom, who was naturally busy and couldn't always be on deck to answer his questions or give direction. Jim didn't interpret any of our social cues correctly - he cut off the dad/daughter dance after about 30 seconds...even though it was really emotional and clearly we needed more time. (The crowd literally boo'd when he cut us off and my dad was like "not yet!") Jim routinely interrupted our most special and intimate moments, like when my now-husband and I were catching a moment just the two of us "backstage." He just waltzed in and started talking about his wife ... like bro, we're trying to just have a moment here? Also, the equipment he brought was plain faulty. Music stopped playing at multiple points in the evening. Dave, his manager/owner of the company, tried to pass this outage off as a "memorable moment" when my friends jumped in to sing and cover up the awkward pause. As if we had a choice when the music blows out mid chorus. Most of all, I was disappointed that there was no mixing involved--THIS is what a DJ does! Instead, Jim just stood there for 2 hours and pressed play on a Spotify playlist that I made. He didn't have a mixer or a turntable, he didn't do any remixing, dropping, transitioning, or anything else. I could have done what he did -- and charging more than 1,000 dollars for that is just unjustified. Leading up to my event, I spent hours filling out the online form that was provided and purposefully wanted to schedule and intro call way in advance to ensure my bases were covered. I also wanted to know about their mixing capabilities in advance (turns out there were 0 capabilities). And when I asked Jim about where his mixing equipment was the night of the wedding, he basically said, "oh I don't have the software for that, it's too expensive." When I raised this to Dave, he was like "your music requests were fulfilled." Sure man - but I didn't just hire some guy to press play and monitor the volume dial! My 5-year-old cousin could've done that. At the end of the day, it is not just about playing the songs I asked for--that's the literal bare minimum. On top of this, I had to frequently prompt Jim to make announcements about dessert, etc. Very annoying. Again, it just felt like we all had to work veryyy hard to keep the momentum going during the dancing portion of the party, which I was looking forward to. Lots of our guests can vouch that Jim was sub-par. We all started to feel the need to leave my wedding when we had 2 hours still left in the venue! And that's just a damn shame. When I raised all of the above to Dave, he provided 0 recourse. So do yourself a favor and hire someone else.

She has a wealth of knowledge around weddings and offer suggestions but leaves the decisions up to you. Plus she's incredibly sweet, fun, calm and professional. We mostly needed help with day of coordination, but Britt did so much more than that! She met with us several times to guide us through the process and make sure all the boxes were getting checked, and was always available and responsive when I asked questions (even via text, in the middle of the day). She executed our vision of decor perfectly, coordinated timing/details with all of our vendors, and we did not worry about a single thing that day, nor did any of our family members need to. We can't thank Britt enough for all she did to make our day run so smoothly!

If you are high strung and obsessed with the details, Britt will make you feel calm with how organized she is and is great and keeping you and your vendors on track. Britt became my therapist during covid wedding planning and now a friend. There are a lot of great wedding planners in Central Oregon but I assure you, Britt and her team are the best.

We started planning our dream wedding in January of 2019, and were quickly overwhelmed by the…read morebalancing act of navigating so many vendors and details! While we had been able to take on the early stages of planning ourselves, we wanted to bring in a professional for at least the day-of, so we could enjoy every moment of the wedding with our loved ones, stress-free. We sought out Leann's services in July of that year, with the intention that she would be our "Day-Of" coordinator for our July 2020 wedding. Fast forward to March 2020, and everything changed. To say that Leann has gone above and beyond would be an understatement. While a certain level of stress can be expected with wedding planning, the events of the past year have been, and continue to be extraordinarily difficult. Leann has been with us every step of the way during this unprecedented chapter. When we made the decision to postpone, Leann handled every detail, with professionalism and proficiency. She contacted every vendor, including our venue, and reported back to us so we could make informed decisions, without the overwhelm of the back and forth correspondence. This speaks to her organized, detail-oriented nature, and creative approach to problem solving that we have experienced. To every meeting, Leann has brought savvy expertise, guidance, compassion, empathy, and most valued, a sense of calm. She validates every feeling, answers every question, and truly understands our needs. My fiancé and I have now made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding again. While this has resulted in personal feelings of disappointment and heartache, Leann has never let us lose sight of our "why". She is there to remind us that our day WILL happen, and WILL be filled with the joy, excitement, and fun that we have always envisioned. And, once again, she has taken care of every behind the scenes detail. Throughout this process - Leann has taken the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and our families, and leads every meeting with our wishes, hopes, and dreams at the center. She has been both a listening ear and a steadfast advocate. Leann truly cares about her clients, and you feel this every step of the way. We truly cannot recommend Leann and her team at Shine Events enough - this was by far the best decision we could have made (aside from the day that we FINALLY get to say "I Do" ).
