Please please please, all couples please avoid this "DJ".
We signed the contract and paid the deposit with Eric over a year before the wedding. Up until about six weeks ago, everything was perfect. For context, we are getting married in mid-September. Then he emailed me saying he would not be available but would send me someone he trusted on August 2nd.
I reached out to the new DJ and never once received a response. I told Eric and he assured me this would be rectified. Never was.
I was constantly asking for status updates or solutions for over a month, Eric eventually told me that he was unable to perform at the wedding and had no other options. Very disappointing, but up until this point Eric himself had been very reasonable. Until it was time to refund the deposit.
While we were frantically looking for a new DJ, I had MULTIPLE DJ companies tell me this is not the first, but one of many many horror stories they had heard from Eric's company. A few people that claimed to know him personally said they were not surprised that I was in the situation as he has done this before, and it might have been a blessing in disguise, as when he does perform at weddings he is unprofessional and downright unacceptable.
Again this took over a month and countless emails (reminding Eric to refund me) when he asked if he could set up a "payment plan", for a $200 deposit. I was frustrated because we now were out the fee of two down payments for DJs.
It took me threatening to take "further actions" aka court, for Eric to send me my refund.
I have attached the transcript between Eric and myself for full transparency. Yes, he was absolutely respectful during the conversations, but his business practice is horrible and honestly, I truly do not believe that he ever had a backup DJ available at all.

I would hate to see anyone else go through this heartache and beg all future couples to do yourselves a favour and avoid Eric and his DJ services at all costs. read more
