We hired Absolute Soundworks for our wedding reception, which was held at Mezzaluna Italian Restaurant in Half Moon Bay, CA in June, 2013. Pedro and Rachael are a great team - easy to work with and extremely responsive. They also have a great sense of humor, and, since they are newlyweds too, they really understood our needs. All of our questions about the contract terms were answered thoroughly. Also, all of our emails and phone calls, which were many, were answered very quickly.
Pedro is the DJ half of the team. He worked with us on our "other" genre needs - mostly 1960s-80s Italian popular music - and our guests really appreciated it, singing from their tables throughout the dinner service. He took some of our cds, which were not original and not in great shape when we gave them to him, and used the music from them, and then returned them safe and sound. He also downloaded some special songs and cuts of popular songs that were not in his collection. When the dance party started, Pedro was great at reading the crowd. He mixed in short clips from our long request list just long enough to get everyone pumped, and then kept the flow going.
Rachael does the coordination, which is essential if you do not hire a wedding planner. In the days leading up to the wedding, Rachael prepared a reception timeline, and then edited that timeline several times per our endless requests before sending it to the restaurant for server and kitchen coordination. During the reception, she would diligently and discretely get our attention to begin the next activity, of which we had many.
Overall Pedro and Rachael did an excellent job, and played a huge role in the success of our wedding. We had a blast and so did all of our guests. Thank you guys!!! read more
