Randy did an excellent job as MC and DJ for my friends' wedding reception. He came with a full…read moresound system set up, dance party lighting, wireless mic, and was able to hunt down all the odd, random songs that we needed for the event. To start, Randy played the elegant entrance music during the ceremony. He also put a lapel mic on both the groom and the officiant. This was wonderful detail that most facilities overlook. All of our guests were able to hear the couple's vows, even the folks in the very back. Our dinner was buffet style, and each table came outfitted with a name card of a television show. Guests listened for their theme song and could go up for food when the song was played. Not only was this a fun idea, but Randy was able to find my friends' eccentric shows, like Golden Girls, Reading Rainbow, and the theme song to Oprah. In all, about 30 television songs were queued. He even let the catchy themes play out, like Friends and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Months prior to the wedding, when the invitations were sent out, guests were encouraged to log on to the Everlasting Sounds website to request songs. After the list was compiled, the bride and groom reviewed the music and discarded the songs they didn't like. Most of what was on the request list made it to the celebration. It was exciting to hear your song played, plus it made for a fun variety of music. We danced to everything: The Killers, Cupid Shuffle, Elvis Presley, Apple Bottom Jeans, N'SYNC, the Pocahontas theme, and my favorite, Time Warp from Rocky Horror. During the festivities, like cake cutting and garter toss, Randy went along with the groom's shenanigans and got everyone excited and laughing through his announcing. If you're looking for a DJ north of Cincinnati, Everlasting Sounds can't be beat!

Our experience with William and The Music Concierge was grossly unprofessional and disappointing…read morefrom the beginning to the end. We booked The Music Concierge in October of 2022 (and paid in full) for our wedding in April 2023. We were assigned a DJ named Matt, and were excited because of all the services offered, along with "unlimited phone consultations". We waited for some time to hear from Matt, and didn't think much of it because we had so much time. However, a couple months before our event, we started reaching out to our DJ Matt and never heard anything back - multiple emails and phone calls went unanswered. We finally managed to reach out to William, the owner of the company, who was apparently as mystified as we were and had no idea Matt had not been communicating with us (great oversight!) and informed me that this particular DJ is a singer in a band that was on tour... cool story. William said all the right words and apologies, but we got the feeling that he really couldn't care less. He halfheartedly suggested a competitor and tried to connect us with them, but this suggested person has done 3 weddings in the past (according to the guy's Facebook), so suffice it to say we didn't trust The Music Concierge, William, or anyone he recommended (especially someone so new). This was a WEEK before our wedding date. A. WEEK. OUT. We ended up reaching out to some friends and our wedding coordinator, who managed to find us a very reputable replacement for only a couple bucks more. We booked, had the contract, and paid in the space of 24 hours (and on a Saturday!). The best part of the interaction with William and The Music Concierge was how fast he issued our full refund. I know good companies can make mistakes like this, but we were completely let down by these folks, and didn't feel they really wanted to make it right. Will never use or recommend this company ever again, and if you are in the market for a DJ, I would give some serious second thoughts before booking with The Music Concierge. They put us in a really bad position, and there are many other reputable companies out there.

From our initial consultation, to communication leading up to and on the wedding day, they were amazing. They provided some great tools to help us give them all the information they needed and to plan the wedding day timeline as well. They were able to accommodate both of our getting ready locations, which resulted in some great memories of the whole wedding crew. When we received the images, we were beyond amazed! The pictures were better than we could have ever expected. They captured some amazing candid moments as well as beautiful poses. We feel so lucky and grateful that they were able to capture our special day.

I highly recommend Old School Entertainment. The depth and breadth of Phil Tucker's knowledge of…read moremusic across all genres is simply impressive. I traveled pretty far to have my wedding in the Cincinnati area, and I can definitively say after the fact that having Phil be a part of it was essential. We explained to him how we wanted our wedding and brunch reception to look and 'feel'--which was pretty abstract--and Phil NAILED it! Not only with the music, but also by reading the crowd and anticipating the day's events with precision. No easy feat given that we built in contingencies and asked him to look for our cues. Just as important, leading up to our big day Phil always availed himself for our questions/requests - and was real asset in our ceremony and reception planning. A true professional and a master of his craft!

Greg is exactly the kind of person you want to be part of your big day. I booked him about a year out from our wedding, so make sure to plan ahead when you're booking with DJ Butlers! We had a timeline run-through meeting about a month out from the big day, where we also discussed what songs we liked/didn't like for different parts of the reception. My husband is a very big music guy, and Greg really impressed him with some of his recommendations and industry knowledge. We had a live band playing during the ceremony and cocktail hour, but Greg still made sure to arrive a few hours before the ceremony to ensure everything was set up and ready to go -- and even to provide a microphone for our minister. During the reception, not only was Greg rocking it with the tunes -- but he also made sure to check in with my husband and me periodically to see if we needed another drink, or anything else. Greg also really knows how to work a crowd -- with a careful balance between staying on schedule and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We truly believe Greg was a perfect addition to our team of vendors -- and he really was so much more than a DJ. We cannot recommend him enough -- and can't thank him enough for all of the hard work and attention to detail he put into our special day.

Our wedding was wonderful, and so much of that can be attributed to Airwave. We reached out to Ted…read moreKaras after hearing rave reviews from several friends and listening to YouTube clips of their performances at Jeff Ruby's. We were very lucky as their calendar was filling up fast for Spring 2016, but May 7 was still available. Although we had not heard them personally (we live out of state) we booked Airwave and were in for quite a treat. Working with Ted could not have been easier. We had concerns due to the layout of Union Terminal (our ceremony and dancing were in one room and dinner in another). Ted worked directly with our venue to coordinate the setup, breakdown, sound systems and other small details. Additionally, he put us in contact with his keyboardist, Joel Crabtree, to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. In advance of the wedding, Ted had us review the song list and highlight any music we definitely did or did not want to hear, as well as identify our first dance, father-daughter and mother-son songs. This was great as he made sure we heard the genre and style of music our guests would most enjoy. The day of the wedding was nothing short of amazing. The band arrived to setup and Joel did an excellent job during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Then, the real fun started. We had told Airwave that our guests would be a party crowd and to make sure they stayed on the dance floor. They did that and so much more. They played all the music we requested, including a specially prepared version of "The Hora" that transitioned into Rocky Top. These little touches made the night extra special and our dance floor was full the whole night with guests, young and old. Not just being a "fun" wedding band, Airwave is also very talented. The different members of the band allow them to perform all different genres, from Motown to country and everything in between. Our guests all commented how impressed they were with the band. Airwave certainly met and exceeded all our expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band in the future.

My now husband and I met with Queen City DJs as they're the preferred DJ for our venue. Our first…read moremeeting went well and we booked with Brad, the owner, because he gave an impression of professionalism and the tools he uses seemed like they would avoid miscommunications in song selection, timeline and general flow of the party. We are extremely dissatisfied with the service we received the day of our wedding. The problems began before our wedding which we planned with all vendors on starting at 2:15pm. As we were getting ready our day-of coordinator told us Brad said "I'm not going to start then because I have 2:30 on the schedule and I wasn't paid for that time." Our coordinator came to us and explained this so we tried to make the best of it by getting more photos before. After the fact, we confirmed that our DJ contract said 2pm-8pm. Brad denies ever saying those words to our coordinator. We know that the day after our final meeting with the venue, Brad had a meeting with them to go over their upcoming weddings, ours included. We met with Brad after that. If there was a time discrepancy why was nothing said to us to avoid the whole issue? Next, my husband and I had a custom song made for our aisle music, a beautiful Studio Ghibli medley that is long enough for the entire processional with a specific section of the song meant for the bride to walk at 3 minutes 45 seconds. We had a link to this song in 3 separate sections on the Vibo App, including the timestamp, months prior to our final meeting. On our big day I was rushed down the aisle to the wrong section of the song. I noticed it right away and honestly it took away the magical feeling I was looking forward to for so long. No bride should ever have to feel this way on their wedding day, they should get to enter their wedding the way they dreamed. The utter disappointment we feel, even a week later, still brings us to tears. When we confronted Brad about it, he said he should have jumped to that section of the song and that he didn't know the venue was going to open the doors to my reveal. The venue and our wedding coordinator both said that Brad gave them the cue to send me down the aisle and that neither had heard from him that there was a specific cue for me. Brad denies that he gave the cue and shifted blame to our coordinator and venue. He also expressed that typically people have separate songs for parents, bridesmaids and groomsmen, and for the bride. So it also felt like he was blaming us for not following the norm, despite never expressing that our music would be a problem. We wouldn't have booked with him if we knew he couldn't handle the request. Finally he said he did no wrong because he played the correct song. Lastly we were in utter shock when our best woman and man and nearby guests told us what the DJ had said when telling them how to use the microphone for the dinner toasts. They told us Brad said to hold the microphone like you're giving a "blow job." This is extremely unprofessional and we do not take it lightly how uncomfortable it made our guests feel. When confronting Brad, he denied he said that saying he holds himself to the utmost professionalism. He can claim they are twisting or mishearing his words but we had several individuals tell us this unprompted. Despite some positives, like accommodating changes to other song requests and announcements made in the final week, these actions didn't make up for the major issues. We're unsure how all our last minute requests were met but things that were communicated months prior were missed. Brad deflected accountability and pointed out that we seemed to be enjoying ourselves but we didn't want to argue with him that day as we were trying to be good hosts to our guests and not further sour our own day. In all, we are extremely disappointed with Brad's services. We are writing this review so that no other couples have to experience what we did. Again no bride should ever have to hear about such unprofessionalism from their DJ or feel like they can't have the aisle music they dreamt of.
