I paid a high price thinking I would get top notch service and an amazing party. I was overcharged for a dhol player for just a 15 minute performance. For 15 minutes of work I expected consistent and thorough drumming. There should be no pauses and no lapses that would slow the baraath down.
I gave my coordinator lists of suggested songs and even provided absolute musts, A few songs that I feel would definitely need to be played. They missed the mark on this simple task. Nothing I suggested they played and they didn't even play good top 40 that everyone would enjoy. It was really lame to hear them use songs that you would hear at a sweet sixteen party not a wedding. So I remember my coordinator being arrogant enough stating "your paying a high cost because we are the best, and I guarantee you will be thanking me after everything is over." OK well why didn't you throw in some of my requests or sequence the songs for cocktail hour, dinner and open floor the way we asked? It's not like I am paying you or that I am the client or anything. If they were unsure of what to play, 150 song suggestions were sent to them a month in advance. Now when you are not even playing good songs and doing what you please...don't under any circumstances... REPEAT SONGS!!!! That is an absolute No No. They should have returned 1 grand back to me for each time they did this. It truly shows a lack of preparation and professionalism. The DJ should know what to play at what time and when they have suggestions, know the appropriate time to play them. This is part of their job. Spend 2 hrs on each client and arrange the playlist accordingly. It's not rocket science but put some effort into it. Repeat songs in a 2 hour span shows how much of a disaster this company is. Even the Bollywood songs, such obscure songs that no one knows, they did have some good ones I will give them that but Do not trust them with anything.
These guys couldn't even handle simple announcements, it's unbelievable how everything with this company is bad news. We had produced a schedule and this was all made clear before hand and even one run thru was too much to handle. I went to another wedding recently that used DJ USA and I haven't seen a 500 person wedding die down so briskly. They couldn't keep a party hyped up and going, the night got stale because they couldn't keep the crowd on the floor. These guys are overpriced and arrogant. I wouldn't spend their initial asking price, I would go to another company. I regret using them and wouldn't pay half their asking price if I had a second chance. They are awful. read more
