We recently had booked World Record DJ's for our wedding in Sterling, MA in late July. During the…read moreplanning meetings, we dealt with Matt, but Ryan actually performed at our event. We had, what we thought, was going to be a tricky wedding as far as music needs. We had 3 different locations which required music, all on the same property; our ceremony was at a gazebo, our cocktail hour was on an outdoor patio, and the reception started inside the venue.
The ceremony: We had the DJ provide the music for our processional and recessional. They also provided a microphone for our officiant to wear, and a mic with a stand for our readings, all outdoors. The audio quality was excellent, and one of the microphones even picked up me and my bride's voices as we were reciting our vows, etc. It was a high quality audio experience.
Cocktail Hour: We had the cocktail hour on a patio. They also had speakers in this area for our guests to enjoy. The music out here was at a perfect volume. We also continued the music outside for the entirety of the reception.
Reception: Ryan handled the intros, exceptionally. We had a few names that were difficult to pronounce, but Matt worked with us to get phonetic spellings, and when the time came, Ryan got everything right. He kept the pace of the event moving, and he had all of the versions of the songs that we needed for our newlywed intro, as well as our father/daughter, mother/son dances.
Now, I have to give Ryan a lot of credit. No one was dancing. We told Matt previously, and Ryan before the wedding started that they should not take it personally if no one was dancing. This was not a dancing crowd. My wife and I have been together for 7 years, and we have danced a total of 5 times, including our wedding. Our friends and family aren't dancers either. The weather was gorgeous, and we had yard games, so everyone (I mean everyone) was outside, just socializing, playing games, and it was great. And actually, the music ended up being a very important part of the enjoyment outside.
Music selection: We're fairly young, but we have a strange taste in music. We're not into modern country and we're mostly into older stuff from the 70's and 80's. We supplied Matt and Ryan with a list of maybe 10 songs, and from that list they put together a playlist for the entire 4 hour event. Their music selections were absolutely perfect. We didn't get a single modern country song, which was very important. The care they put into this was apparent.
These two guys (Matt and Ryan) really have it together from a service standpoint. Every step was super-easy, and laid back. Matt in particular has a knack for keeping the meetings both incredibly professional, and laid back and fun.
I can't stress enough how happy we are that we picked World Record DJ's to perform our wedding. They were first class all the way. Thank you guys!
