Do not book this DJ for your wedding…read more We are writing this review to protect other couples from the experience we had at our wedding. What follows is a factual account, corroborated by our wedding coordinator, venue staff (bartenders and food service), and approximately 90 of our wedding guests who witnessed these events firsthand. FROM THE MOMENT HE ARRIVED: Upon arrival, he immediately attempted to change the entire layout of our reception area -- a setup that had already been carefully planned by everyone involved -- because he felt his placement "would sound better." He insisted on positioning himself between the bride/groom table and our guests, and refused to adjust his own setup to accommodate the existing arrangement. His sound quality was notably poor -- multiple guests independently described it as muffled, as if the music was coming through a wall. After he left, the venue's standard backup Bluetooth speaker actually sounded better. He also plugged into an electrical outlet he had been explicitly told by our wedding coordinator not to use, and made a comment to our guests that he had driven three hours to be there while the venue was in his advertised service area -- completely unprofessional. FIRST DANCE: We provided our song list well in advance via email, which he confirmed and replied to with the full playlist. For our first dance, he began playing the song, stopped it, and announced over the microphone to our entire reception: "That's the short version, let me get the longer one." What followed was over a minute of complete silence while we stood in front of all of our guests. He then played a live/bootleg version of our song -- not the studio recording we had requested of a well-known, widely available James Taylor song. My spouse and I ended up singing our own first dance song ourselves. This moment is documented in photos, video, and the accounts of nearly every guest present. THROUGHOUT RECEPTION: -- He handed us a microphone for toasts at the wrong time, despite having the written itinerary, leaving us stunned and unprepared in front of our guests. -- After the best man and bridesmaid speeches, he left complete silence with no music and no direction, requiring us to intervene. -- There were multiple other silent gaps throughout the evening where no music was played and no effort was made to fill the void. -- During buffet, rather than calling tables one at a time as is standard practice, he released multiple tables simultaneously, and while other tables were still getting food creating a chaotic, crowded situation that numerous guests noted. -- Songs we had specifically requested -- confirmed in writing -- were not played until we forwarded him his own confirmation email during our reception. -- He was rude to our wedding coordinator and her staff, per her own written account. HIS RESPONSE TO OUR COMPLAINTS: When we emailed him with these concerns and requested a refund, he did not apologize or offer any resolution. Instead, he threatened us with civil legal action and advised us not to post reviews, suggesting it would be "defamation." Truthful reviews of a business are not defamation. We are posting this review so that no other couple has to experience what we did on one of the most important days of their lives. Our wedding coordinator has documented her concerns in writing and recommended we seek a refund. We have email confirmation of our song requests, a coordinator's written account, venue staff witnesses, and the accounts of nearly 100 wedding guests.

On Jan.18, 2025 I had the pleasure to hire DJ Starchild as our DJ. He is an excellent DJ,…read moreprofessional, arrived on time. Most of all he catered to all different kinds of music and also play the requested playlist we were asking him to play. I'm very please with his service and will hire him again in our next event. Btw... the photo booth was a hit. Thank DJ Starchild/Orlando for a job well done!

Working with Sara at Wolfcrest Photography was literally a dream come true. I had been following…read moreher work ever since she photographed my friend's wedding a few years ago, recommended her to another friend so that I could see her work in action again, and swore that one day we would have her shoot our own wedding. When we got engaged, the very next day I was working to put that dream into motion. Wolfcrest Photography was the first vendor that I reached out to, before I even had a venue picked, as we knew the date we wanted to get married right away. Sara was very responsive. Even though we didn't have a venue, so our date couldn't have been 100% guaranteed, she let us know that she was available and would be able to book us once we confirmed with the venue. She sent packaging details, etc., all within 24 hours of my first inquiry. Once we locked down a venue, I confirmed with her within the hour. Our package included engagement photos, so we then worked on setting those up. I don't know about all of you, but the first few minutes of posing in front of a camera in public is awkward. Thank goodness for Sara's great direction and good humor - all of the weirdness faded away fast, and we were romantically posing like pros in no time. Our engagement session near home was perfect and everything we wanted it to be. She did a great job of not only visually capturing the moments, but you can really feel the moments when you look at her photos. We had a lot of people mention that they could really feel the love and laughter when going through the photos and I love that. Throughout the whole planning process, she was always on time, responsive (no matter how far in advance of our wedding the email was sent), and very organized. She laid out the timeframe for our wedding and it flowed beautifully. The wedding day photos were as much of a hit as the engagement photos - through every photo I remember exactly how happy I felt in that moment, which is truly magical. The bridal party and my family all commented on what a great job she and Carley, her second shooter, did. The golden hour light was beautifully captured and takes my breath away every time I look at our photos! I would hire them all over again, if given the chance. I will continue to highly recommend Wolfcrest Photography to anyone who is in need of a wedding and/or family photographer.

We cannot say enough great things about Sara! Since our first phone call we felt like she…read moreunderstood what we wanted for our big day and instantly clicked. She is also so kind and patient which made the wedding planning process so much easier. My husband and I are shy people, and Sara made us feel so comfortable and natural at our engagement session. She knew when to let us be ourselves and when we needed guidance which we really appreciated. We were blown away by our wedding pictures and truly feel like she captured all of the emotions that we felt that day. She is great at capturing timeless photos and candids which are my favorites. Not only is she a gifted photographer, her organizational skills and professionalism were above and beyond! She responds to emails quickly and is always available for any questions. She reached out before our wedding day to confirm which group photos we wanted, and her timeline was perfect! The whole day ran smoothly and we're so happy to have beautiful pictures to remember our day!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Lacey to plan my surprise proposal. From the day I first…read moreemailed her, Lacey was kind, thoughtful and easy to get ahold of. She finalized our plan several weeks before the day of the occasion and offered suggestions that made the night even more wonderful. She also waited near the area for an hour before my arrival, which gave me some much-needed piece of mind. Her photo package was terrific and perfectly captured our special moment. I cannot offer a stronger recommendation for Lacey's services. She will always be forthcoming and available and do all that she can to ensure your experience is everything you hoped for. I'm thrilled to have met Lacey and very much looking forward to working with her in the future.
