He called the last song at 9:42. He also didn't introduce us as husband and wife. I have videos with time stamps to prove all of the above. He announced mother and father of the bride and groom and the rest of the wedding party and then he announced us by just our names which was pretty lackluster in comparison. Just because I didn't take my husband's last name, it doesn't mean that we aren't married. It doesn't mean that we aren't husband and wife. He could have said "now, as husband and wife, Kristen and Aaron!" There was also a misunderstanding when I asked him not to play too many slow songs. He took this to mean no slow songs. TECHNICALLY 0 slow songs is not too many but I wished he had asked what I meant if he was confused. I didn't realize until the end that no slow songs had played. We would have liked 2 or 3. I guess this is partially my fault for not being clearer. He did the ceremony and provided us with microphones at no extra cost, but it doesn't change the fact that he ended our once in a lifetime wedding day early. He said he would never end a wedding without the bride and groom's permission, yet he ended ours early. I promise with every fiber of my being that we would never ask to end our wedding early. After he announced that it was the last song at 9:42, I turned to my husband in front of the DJ booth and said "wait, don't we have him until 10?" DJ Carl suggested that I should have said something to him in the moment while it was happening. I shouldn't have to beg the DJ to stay for the full contracted time that we both signed and agreed to. We already had a million things to worry about that day and I didn't want the confrontation. We didn't want an argument on our wedding day and he had already announced that it was the last song. We waited a year to review because we had just had our wedding and we wanted to take a break from wedding stress and then family things came up and job changes and we were busy for so long. I remembered after our anniversary when we were reflecting on everything. I wish we got the experience that other reviewers got and I'm not sure why we didn't. Did he just not like us? We treated him with nothing but kindness and respect throughout the process and paid for his plate of food and his drinks so that he wouldn't be hungry or thirsty. TRUST ME when I say that we were both VERY aware that he ended the wedding early when it was happening but we didn't want the confrontation because we're both terrified of it. Trust me when I say that we would never forfeit a single minute with our loved ones on our wedding day. What hurts the most him ending our wedding early without our permission is that we can never do that day over. We will never get that day back. We would like 15 minutes more of dancing, laughing, and holding our loved ones on our wedding day. We would be crazy not to.

We found a number of our vendors simply by asking family and friends. This was also the case with Peter; Rachel's uncle used to work with him many years ago and recommended Peter's DJ services to us. We were so glad to make that connection! Prior to the wedding, we met Peter in person once - the day we signed the contract - and otherwise communicated over email and Skype. It was perfect for us since we held the wedding in Central NY but planned it from San Francisco. Peter was always quick to respond to emails any time we had questions and always incredibly helpful. It took us a long time to settle on songs to use throughout the ceremony and reception but Peter was helpful, flexible and adaptable when working with us on a late schedule. He comes prepared with a list of song suggestions from previous clients that he can give to help with your choices for first dances, cake cutting, ceremony, etc. As we got to the week before the wedding we changed our mind on what we wanted for music playing during dinner. We told Peter to play songs from the 1950s to today over the course of dinner - essentially walking us through the decades. That was all the direction he needed to run with it and make it a hit. We trusted Peter to pick songs when we couldn't; we decided a day or two before the wedding that we wanted to do the "shoe game" during the reception and delegated the song selection to him without a second thought. He nailed it - with game show music! We had a surprise firework showing in the evening. Peter didn't know about this until we told him 10 minutes prior. We asked him to "make an announcement" for people to stay just a bit longer - without giving away the surprise - because many were starting to leave. He did a great job with the announcement and gave the attendees a hint of what was coming by playing Katy Perry's "Firework" song. Our event was outside and the dinner and reception were held primarily inside a large tent. We used Peter's wireless uplights to help illuminate the tent. This was HUGE for us. One of our biggest worries going into this event was powering everything on generators. Knowing that Peter had *wireless* lights he could bring for us - that ran on batteries and wouldn't need the generator was a huge win for us. He let us customize the colors we used for the uplights to match the wedding colors. Peter is extremely detailed in his planning and preparation prior to the event which we saw reflected as a seamlessly run event - with him leading the way. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone who may want DJ services in the future.

He put together a day-of schedule that he distributed to us as well as all of our other vendors (photographer, officiant, etc) so everyone knew what was happening and when. He also was a great help for music selections and played exactly what we wanted-- we requested a couple of Hindi songs which was no problem for him to incorporate into our reception setlist. He also provided music during and before our ceremony. We had music playing as guests arrived and two microphones for the ceremony for an officiant and a vocalist. If you're in the central NY area, you can't go wrong with Peter!
