Rafael and his team were just fantastic from start to finish!! We had such a great experience with…read morethem when we hired them to be the DJ (and more) for my sisters wedding.
When I submitted a request for a quote, I got a quick reply from Rafael wanting to set up a meeting to discuss the event and what we were looking for. He gave us a call, so there was no need to set up an in person meeting, which worked well with my busy schedule. I didn't feel pressured or bothered about booking him, he just gave me his experiences as a DJ, what he likes to do to give a great event, gave me the package information, was energetic about it all and let me know the process to book. He was able to text and email me the info too, so I could review and think about. He let me know to call him if I was interested in booking him and setting up a contract.
After hearing from a couple other DJs (and not hearing from another), we went with Rafael!! When we discussed the contact, I loved the packages that were available to choose from. There is a basic package (which honestly is NOT basic at all, it's everything you could need and more from a DJ). But then they have their base package with "add ons" there is an option to add any add on to the base package OR there are options to add 1, 3 or 5 add ons. We went with 3 add ons, and added the ceremony sound, and 2 hours of the Photo Booth. The contract was very detailed but easy to understand and outlined the responsibilities of the DJ, and the couple, and who was paying. We were able to sign the contract electronically, and pay through PayPal. There was a non refundable deposit of $300. Which I felt was appropriate.
Rafael and his team served as the DJ, Master of Ceremonies, reception coordinators and so much more. They had a detailed event day planner for the couple to complete/fill out so he could review and prep for the big day and make sure the reception went as smoothly as we wanted it to go. This included asking for song ideas, how we wanted the entrances to be, what type of traditions (money dance/father-daughter dance/who was giving speeches etc) there were going to be. We had a check-in one week before the event and one last check-in a couple days prior just for last minute questions, and for assurance that Rafael 100% knew the plan for our event. This helped the execution for sure!!
Then the Photo Booth alone, was such an awesome decision!! The add on is listed as 1 hour Photo Booth, and I was SO EXCITED to have Rafael offer a second hour as a second add on!! Everyone attending loved this and it came with all the print outs people asked for, and they had someone there making sure one of the print outs was added to a photo album for the couple!! Which we could then sign! Such a cute idea and well executed by all three staff that were working that day!!
The ceremony sound worked so well, and helped in the outdoor venue, and so this was a no brainer as an add on!!
As a DJ and Master of Ceremony, Rafael and his team were spot on, and you could tell they really love their job. They did a great job playing songs through the night that the couple requested and that others requested! There is a phone number that guests can text a request to. They did have a flow for the night and it was pretty much executed to a tee!! They felt the flow of the event and changed up songs if they needed to.
Rafael, you and your team were a class act through the entire night and we can't wait to hire you for future events. 100%, 12/10 recommend Good Vibes DJ!!
