When wedding planning there was one aspect that we did not have to browse, research, weigh options for. And that was DJ. The misses had been to a previous wedding DJ-ed by Ms. Easson and was convinced to hire her. Being the very wise man I am, I agreed.
Jaime was professional and prepared on the wedding day. She was a little high in terms of price, but most important was the fact that she was a lot of fun (specifically her infectiously yummy mix of songs for the evening). Her philosophy is simply to play great music; and not be one of the cajoling, corny-joke handling jockey's I see at far too many events. I want to say she is more of a club DJ than a "wedding" DJ - which is a very good thing.
I've been to many Korean weddings - and it is often like pulling teeth to get everyone to loosen up and get on the dance floor. Granted the open bar was a factor, but Jaime's selection of well-thought, contemporary club tunes definitely helped. At times it seemed the entire room was on their feet. There were no bad selections, no awkward songs breaking up the flow the evening. Very good.
Ms. Easson took care in finding out what we wanted. We weren't too specific about what we *did* want and she created a great mix of songs for the night. We were more specific about what we did not want - no group dance songs a la Electric Slide, Macarana, etc. When a friend requested one during the after party, she turned them down (politely). I'm pretty sure she takes requests as long as they don't go against her client's wishes. We really appreciated the attention to detail.
It was at times slow getting responses from her via email. Regardless, I would highly recommend Jaime for any party, especially one targeting 20's-early 30's demographic. If you want a lively, up-tempo evening you should definitely go with DJ Jaime Easson. read more
