This review is for DJ Nick Laudadio, who works with Greenkey Photography. We worked with Kieffer the photographer too (who was amazing!), and when we get our photos we will update the review to include that aspect as well.
Nick. Was. Awesome.
Trying to find a wedding DJ was one of the most stressful things I think we had to do. The reception music is one of the most important things about a wedding- it can really make or break the party.
We interviewed with a couple of "famous" area DJ companies, but we didn't click with any of them. They all seemed more interested in the specific details of our wedding (number of guests, how many first dances, etc) rather than seeing if we actually clicked in terms of the MUSIC. And with an Indian bride and an American groom who is a jazz-musician, making sure we found a DJ who understood our musical tastes was of utmost importance.
Nick was so reassuring and professional. He LISTENED to what we wanted before getting into all the nitty-gritty details. We felt like he really truly understood what we were going for and what our musical tastes were. We were nervous about having to blend so many different types of musical tastes, but he assured us that he understood our point of view. He encouraged us to send him songs in the months leading up to the wedding so he could continue to customize and shape our playlist specifically for us.
AND THEN HE DELIVERED. Our dance party was the best ever! He was able to blend the Bollywood music with oldies, funk, hip-hop, and current pop music amazingly well. Within minutes of the music starting, everyone was out on the dance floor and never left. Even all the old Indian aunties and uncles! If you are worried that your reception might be a dud if no one dances, that WILL NOT happen with DJ Nick! He kept a close eye on things and changed the music appropriately so there was never a lull on the dance floor.
His equipment was awesome too- the sound quality on his wireless mic for the toasts was perfect (not too bassy, not fuzzy), and there were never any blips or breaks in the songs. All transitions were seamless.
The other awesome thing about Nick is that he will send you a link after the wedding so you can download your ENTIRE wedding playlist to your iTunes! We are still jamming out to our wedding songs over a month later. It's so fun to re-live the night in that way.
To sum up, we are SO happy we chose to work with DJ Nick. Not only did we have the most fabulous dance party ever, but it was personalized and special and not generic. And Nick was so easy to work with and just a genuinely nice person. If you are looking for a wedding DJ, look no further. Nick is your guy. read more
