We hired Johanna Schultz to provide all of the music for our June 2012 wedding at the MacCallum House in Mendocino and would like to take this opportunity to share our experience with potential clients and recommend her DJ services. We found Johanna to be personable, professional, and receptive to our needs from the first time we corresponded and throughout our wedding planning process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she worked closely with our venue to ensure that there would be a seamless music transition from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. She worked with the A/V rental company that provided sound for our ceremony to make sure that the set up would meet the needs of our officiant as well as two musicians performing during the ceremony. She also coordinated the pre-ceremony sound check with all of the involved parties so that we didn't have to worry about broken microphones as we walked down the aisle.
Johanna catered to every request we made, no matter how difficult it may have been to complete. For example, we felt very strongly about having uninterrupted music for the duration of our event; given that our ceremony was outside in the Mendocino headlands and our reception in a restaurant, this was no small task. However, Johanna understood how important these details were to us and did everything she had to do to make it work. By the time our wedding day arrived, we both felt so at ease with our music plans because we knew that Johanna had everything taken care of. Given that this was a destination wedding for us, her support was invaluable.
We also loved how willing she was to play any and all songs that we wanted to hear, and in the order that we requested. She had no problem working with a bride and groom with very specific taste in music and lots of "favorite songs." The day of our wedding, all of the music was very personal and reflected us as a couple. When the dancing started at our reception, there wasn't a single bare spot on the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how great the music was at our wedding. And, as if all of this wasn't amazing enough, she even stayed late at our reception to finish playing all of the songs we had requested - of which, there were a ton.
We would recommend Johanna to anyone planning a wedding or any other social event. She is extremely talented and will set your mind at ease with her very capable, accommodating, and upbeat attitude.
Sincerely,
Taryn & Evan Buck read more
