When you want to change something, it's a big hassle for them (very poor customer service). They have a good reputation in the area... that's why I went with them... but they are old and getting deaf. I had to take my stuff to another place and have it all remixed as well as re-recording a few parts that they didn't catch initially. The guy I had rework it was phenomenal, much faster, knew EVERYTHING about his job, and was extremely friendly (with great ears!). I won't post his name in a River City review, but I'll tell you, shop somewhere else!

These people were professional and talented, and very hard working - it was great fun the whole time. It took some time to get the recording the way she wanted it to sound, and they helped and improved things every step of the way. The price quoted did not change, even with all the work they did to get the recording to sound perfect. What a great place to find in our city - a very professional and competent recording studio, with a respectful, but laid back and friendly attitude. As a part time musician I never felt discounted, and my opinions and ideas were heard. I would recommend them to anyone - professional or amateur. Definitely will go back for any recording/mixing work that comes up again.

My journey within 6 months became concerning, to say the least. No sense into going into chapter and verse here, but for especially those who know me as a neighbor, educator, psychiatric practice clinician, musician, author and composer. Safe to say, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! What adds injury to insult, resulting in stagnation for me as a regarded composer. The complete absence of active security within the studios and the absence of business policies that protect the customers, like me, from any and all transgressions. Frankly, pathetic. About time, this Chapter One is shared......Stay tuned, my experience is still be analyzed.

I came in with my husband who recommended this place to my son who owns many guitars. We actually…read morecame in with the intention of buying him another. He asked the salesman if he could play the guitar that was one if the more expensive guitars. The guy, who by the way looked like he crawled from under a bridge with a heroine needle in his arm asked him if he planned on buying it. My son who immediately decided, oh I'm being judged by my appearance told him not today. He was then told no you cannot play this guitar. So I wondered if any of the older white customers would have asked if they would have been asked the same question. My son went to Sweetwater and was handed with a smile any guitar, at any price that he wanted to play. So how dare the meth head behind the counter look at us and decide we couldn't afford anything in your store. Your small minded staff is a great credit to why you will stay small. I will be to let everyone I know to avoid coming here. I guess if your a person of color there is no way you can afford to buy a guitar in your store.

They did not hold up their end of the deal to pick us up and drop us off. My group also noticed antifreeze and several water bottles in the van (so clearly they were prepared for this to happen and knew this van was unsafe but still picked 8 of us up anyways). They are dishonest and no one should ever use them! They have deleted all of our reviews, rigged up their Yelp page so our reviews are hidden and hard to find now and even changed their website so we cannot share our experience. http://www.wnem.com/story/32833897/group-expects-limo-gets-broken-down-van-instead

We rented a party bus to take us from Grand Rapids to Detroit this past weekend. Prior to booking,…read morethe customer service was good. I was able to negotiate the price for the group we had and booking was easy. On the day of, our driver was about 20 minutes later than the scheduled pickup time. Once we were on the bus and on the highway, we realized one window was cracked and was not sealed around the edges. At one of the rest stops, I pointed this out to our driver, Scott. He said he would stop and get something to fix it. Because it was so cold, we ended up "fixing" it ourselves with what we had - Meijer bags and paper towels - to keep the cold air from coming in. Prior to doing this, everyone was freezing and it was almost unbearable. The other issue was that he did not have the main door latched all the way, so there was cold air from the front and back of the bus. We were able to fix the window enough that allowed us all to be comfortable and still enjoy our time. Though he was late, we made it to where we needed to be in time. Everyone had a great time and Scott was very nice! It was just a little frustrating in the beginning because you are paying quite a bit of money for something.

The quality of the equipment is fantastic (and I am a musician so I think I can judge good sound) and the fact that they are proactive in getting lists from a wedding party at least two weeks in advance for requested songs and songs not to play is something that shows they are interested in pleasing the customer. The new Photobooth and available full-service video service just takes it up another level. Keep it up Jim!
