Do yourself a favor and keep looking for a professional DJ. KEEP LOOKING!
I got married again in 2024 after being widowed in 2007. Like all weddings, this was a once in a life time celebration and I hired Powell Entertainment on a strong recommendation from a very well known local business owner of a large entertainment complex in Pensacola's historic "quarter." I paid in full for Powell's services in March for a mid September wedding and was promised extras "gratis" for the early payment. It was the only reason I did so. Due to my strong connection with his colleague, Matt promised me HE would do our wedding himself. Not only did he not come for the wedding, the person he sent arrived 2 hours late! The party was saved by the wedding planner's quick solution and my son's phone in his pocket, from which he played the music he and I compiled for the after party Playlist over the venue's speaker system via bluetooth. Save yourself a lot of money and have friends play what you want from their phones! The working DJ didn't even play the songs I said i had to have!
When we discussed this with Matt, he first agreed to refund part of the payment, having missed 30% of the party. Then he lied to my new husband about what he had agreed to. When the check arrived, it wasn't even half of the amount he originally agreed to, and contained a letter stating we could only cash it if we didn't write a review anywhere or tell my friend who recommended him or he would take legal action. That's called blackmail. (On top of all this, we were charged for the "extras' that were supposed to be included because I paid in full up front. No amount of money is worth my silence and not warning consumers. As I said before,.... keep looking for a PROFESSIONAL DJ. Save yourself a lot of trouble. read more
