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.

They were by far the most professional and personable in the initial meetings, and although they were a little pricier than we were hoping to spend it ended up being worth every penny. Once signing the contract we were immediately given access to an app called Vibo which was our one stop planning shop! In the app we answered somewhere around 100 questions about our wedding day. I know it sounds excessive, but it really helped us in our planning to think about things that wouldn't have come up naturally and also ensured we could give a complete and total picture of the day to our DJ. We were also able to input song choices for all the special moments in the app, as well as share a link to enable guests to add their requests which was fun! We were assigned Alex Eveslage as our DJ and he was AMAZING! We met about a week prior to the wedding and discussed the details from A to Z including timeline and outline for the night. Alex ensured that the whole evening flowed smoothly and perfectly matched the vibe of our crowd. Our dance floor was packed the entire time open dancing was going on and our guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun our wedding was! Alex continued to check in with us throughout the night to ensure everything was going well, and he even indulged a ridiculous special request from me. Can't recommend PartyPleasers enough - make sure to ask for Alex when you book!

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!

I went up to him that night to get his information knowing that if I ever got married, I had to book this man. The most overwhelming comment about my wedding was how amazing the music was. We heard, "by far the best wedding music," "that DJ is incredible," and so much more. Music is the most important thing to get a party going -- which is what a wedding is! The biggest party you'll ever throw. Nemar works well with you to understand exactly the vibe you're looking for and exceeds all of your expectations. He is the most talented, genuine, fun DJ I've ever encountered and he ABSOLUTELY knows how to get the party going. He's all around, just an incredible person to have at your day and throughout the planning process. We also rented our lighting through Maize Music and it was exceptional-- it set the tone of the evening and made the space feel full, exciting, intimate, and lively. If you want your dream wedding, BOOK DJ L-TRAIN! The absolute best of the best, we LOVE him!
