Having George as my DJ was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. I can't say enough about what a valuable resource he was to me and my husband in our pre-wedding stages, but I'll try.
First, here's a quick summary.
- George was amazing!
- He was on time(early)to all meetings and the wedding.
- He brought a lot of wedding knowledge/experience to the table and had great suggestions for the reception.
- He was very personable, flexible, and made sure he was clear on everything we planned.
- He put together a great playlist (we received a lot of compliments on the music selection!)
- He was very organized.
- He was very responsive.

I wasn't able to hire a planner and was a little lost when figuring out what to do during the reception. George started off our first meeting asking me questions about the wedding that I hadn't even thought of, which was great because it ensured that nothing was forgotten. He was able to provide suggestions for activies during the wedding, gave us a copy of "The Best Wedding Reception Ever!" and provided us a workbook of the type of information he would need to run the reception.
From the first meeting, we got our "homework" and a much better understanding of all we needed to plan our entire wedding. George was available for questions whenever we had them and also provided some great planning software where we were able to select our music for each event during the reception, general must play/do not play music, and organize the schedule of events - I found the software very helpful.
The second meeting allowed us to review all of the "homework" we had completed, George walked us through the entire day from his setup time to the end of the reception- the scheudle was planned down to the 15-minute mark. We were able to ask questions, make changes and clarify as we went through the schedule and then reviewed everything again to be sure it was how we wanted.
At the wedding, George was great! He had everything set up early, got everyone (mostly our officiant and my husband) organized for the ceremony, was flexible with the reception schedule as we requested more time for some segmants and less time in others and was very personable on the mic. The reception went very smoothly and I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more
