For all those looking for an honest review of CheckOne2Entertainment, here goes.
We had CheckOne2 for my son's Bar Mitzvah. The DJs and dancers were great. They had the crowd dancing all night. Everybody loved the music and the dancing/DJ part of the party.
There was, however, one big disappointment. We were supposed to show a video before the toast. We had sent it two weeks before the event to Terry, the owner, to make sure it would play properly at the event. We asked more than once if there was anything else we needed to provide them or test to make sure it plays. If they needed the file in a different format. If they needed to file to be bigger, smaller, anything. We asked several times if the DJs had made sure they could play it. The answer was always, it works great. We'll see you at the party.
When we arrived at the party, however, the DJs didn't know anything about the video. Fortunately, I was told by our party planners to bring a backup copy. We transferred the copy onto their laptop, but the file had some glitches as it played. After trying for several minutes to get it to work properly, we had to abandon the video. We had spent quite a bit of time creating it and our guests were made to sit and wait while we fiddled with it to get it working. Very disappointing.
When we told the owner, Terry, that we loved the DJs and dancers but that the situation with our video was unprofessional, we didn't get a response from him for over a week. He finally sent us a form email asking us to post a review for his company. Before we posted this review, we called to give him a chance to respond again to our disappointment. Rather than simply apologizing, he became defensive and claimed that he had done everything he could and that the video snafu wasn't his fault. That he had loaded the video, told the DJs about it and had everything under control. Clearly, this was not the case as the DJs didn't even know about our video and couldn't find it anywhere on their laptop.
So, the long and the short story about CheckOne2Entertainment: If you want DJs to get your party going with great dancers and great music, they do a great job. But if you have a truly special event with even the slightest special request, and it's an important day, and you need to play a video or something else that is very important to you, CheckOne2Entertainment may not be the company you're looking for. I would not recommend hiring them for anything more complex than their excellent DJ work. read more
