If You Care About Your Wedding Day, I Recommend Looking Elsewhere…read more I don't write negative reviews lightly, but if sharing our experience helps another couple avoid what we went through, it's worth it. We hired this company over two years before our wedding and worked directly with DJ Mike the entire time. During those two years, we met with him, planned our reception, discussed every detail of our timeline, and were repeatedly assured that he would be our DJ and MC. He emphasized that, as our MC, his job was to keep the reception running smoothly so we could simply enjoy our wedding day. The company had us use their planning app, where I spent countless hours entering every detail of our reception--from announcements and pronunciations to specific songs timed down to the exact second they were supposed to play. I trusted that all of that planning would ensure our wedding ran seamlessly. Then, about a week before our wedding, Mike essentially stopped communicating with us. It wasn't until our hired coordinator contacted the owner just two days before the wedding that we learned Mike would no longer be our DJ. We were never proactively informed. My husband eventually received a message from Mike stating that he had been reassigned to a corporate event. After two years of building a relationship and planning our wedding with him, we were simply replaced at the last minute. We were assured Javier would take over and that he was "great." Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Nearly every major musical moment during our reception was wrong. My husband's processional song was incorrect. Our first dance was incorrect. My father-daughter dance was incorrect. The mother-son dance was incorrect. We had to stop our own wedding reception multiple times to correct the DJ. Think about that for a moment. A bride and groom should never have to interrupt their own wedding to fix mistakes that should have been prevented through preparation. The most frustrating part is that every one of these songs had already been entered into the company's planning app months in advance. Instead of using the detailed timeline we spent two years creating, Javier appeared to be working from a handwritten sheet of paper covered in scribbled notes. It left us asking one simple question: What was the purpose of the planning app if none of the information was actually being used? The mistakes didn't stop with the music. Despite confirming pronunciations with both us and our coordinator, names were still announced incorrectly. What makes this especially heartbreaking is that my husband's parents both have Alzheimer's dementia. This was likely one of the last major family celebrations they'll remember. Moments that should have been joyful and unforgettable were interrupted by confusion, corrections, and preventable mistakes. Those memories cannot be recreated. After the wedding, we contacted the owner, Monique, hoping for accountability and, at the very least, some empathy. Instead, we received what felt like a dismissive response. We were told she had conducted a "review" which concluded everything went well minus two songs. Our experience as the bride and groom was effectively minimized. We were also told that our coordinator wasn't present for the entire reception--as though that somehow explained what happened. Yet we specifically hired a DJ who assured us he would also serve as the MC and keep the reception on track. That responsibility didn't disappear because our coordinator stepped away. Mistakes can happen. What defines a business is how it responds when they do. Unfortunately, what disappointed us most wasn't just the last-minute DJ change or the repeated mistakes throughout our reception. It was the complete lack of ownership afterward. We were left feeling unheard, dismissed, and blamed for problems that should never have occurred. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You don't get a second chance at your first dance, your parents' dances, or the memories made that night.

I had no idea how much a DJ could do on wedding day-- but it was truly amazing to have him cover the whole sound system, from mic'ing the officiant to playing transition music in different spaces as we move, to making announcements throughout the night, and of course creating a fun dance floor at the end of the night. He has great DJ software which allowed us to upload our playlists and song selections directly from Spotify or YouTube. His questionnaires are very comprehensive for every portion of the night, and he anticipated any potential needs or errors in our setup and timeline prior to the event. I also loved his sleek white (or black) DJ table and transition from elegant to fun dance floor lighting. Finally, he acted and dressed very professionally for the wedding. Would definitely recommend Mike!

We are very glad we didn't just jump at any vendor. In our research we found the prices for Lighting and DJ combos to be all over the place for pretty much the same service. We met with Ammon and instantly had a personal connection to him and liked what he and his company had to offer. He was more than willing to work with our budget, while still caring about how the venue would like and sound like. We were able to find a happy medium cost-wise and Ammon did his best to throw in even more than was promised because he cared about how the end product looked and sounded like. On the wedding day, both my, now wife, loved how everything looked and sounded. We had two rooms in our venue and we discussed having the main dining room feel "warmer." So Ammon suggested some nice soft pink uplighting along the walls while the other room was more of party room where where the colors were more of a deep purple. In regards to the music, Ammon offered a lot of great suggestions for specific music for different moments of the wedding which was very helpful. Once the dance floor opened, he did a great job of keeping the energy and the party going. He even ended up running the music longer because people kept dancing...a lot of the credit goes to him on that! The last dance of the night was the same song as our first dance....which was a very nice tough. Again, great experience and highly recommended.

My son and his bride were recently married at the Indian Wells Golf Resort. It was magical!…read more Putting on a memorable wedding requires a lot of work, money and time, researching and choosing the "right" venue, food, flowers, decorations, bar options and of course the Music. Get any choice wrong and you risk the "it was a great wedding except" comments by the attendees. For me, the make or break choice (excluding, of course, an open bar) is the music. If the music is great, then you can wipe out the lesser choice mistakes and eliminate the post "but" comments. So, how can you tell that the music was great? Simple, by the number of people across all generations on the dance floor all night long. My son and new daughter chose DJ Chris Paul. First, he is a great guy, personable, a great listener, has great equipment, and is a master of his craft. You can tell he loves what he does, which is making people smile, tap their toes, sing along and dance. He absolutely had our wedding humming. Young, old, older, one and all, dancing and singing their hearts out. What joy. So, take my advice, choose Chris to carry the tune of your reception. Trust me, you will be thrilled. More importantly, your guests will be thrilled-no but's about it! Thanks Chris, you were awesome!
