I just had my wedding in June and booked with Tom from Otto-Matic. From the very beginning, Tom was…read moreincredibly accommodating, personable, and easy to communicate with. Planning with him was seamless, and he made us feel confident that everything would run smoothly. All night our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they loved the music, and Tom did an amazing job reading the crowd and playing songs that kept everyone dancing. Tom truly went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. We couldn't recommend him more highly, and we're so grateful he was part of our special day. Thank you, Tom, for making our wedding everything we hoped it would be and more!

All we can say is WOW! Otto is the absolute best. Not only did he make our wedding a real party,…read morebut the lighting he provided was unbelievable. Otto definitely kept the party going and we had ZERO technical issues between the music, microphones, and lighting, which I feel is somewhat rare at big weddings. We also hired a saxophone player and Otto literally timed the lighting to go with the saxophone player's performance during dinner, it was spectacular. We are so appreciative for Otto helping us make our wedding a night to remember!

Excellent Samosas and friendly service…read more In contrast to the previous review, the owners have made an effort to give the right amount of chutney/sauce. They also sell Pakoras! Although a bit salty.

NOTE: Despite the name, this store offeres videos, groceries and some ready-made Indian snacks…read more My wife, my 5-month-old son and I recently moved to Victoria. Missing our Indian treats from Toronto, we were pleasantly surprised when we saw the sign for Island Video/Grocery. Well, after visiting the store once, we have no interest to ever go back. We visited the store on a Sunday afternoon. When we entered the store, noone was in the store-front. After waiting for about 3 minutes, the shop clerk, an older gentleman, sauntered in from the staff backroom. He was unfriendly and unwelcoming. He did not greet us or smile. His stern expressions when he looked at us (which was only a couple times) gave both my wife and I the distinct impression he did not want our business. We ordered 3 samosas and weren't offered the little containers of tamarind chutney that were in clear view. After paying $3.00 and leaving the store, we checked the brown bag and noticed only 2 samosas. When we went back to tell the shop clerk, he said that we only ordered two. We paid for the $1.50 for the extra samosa, again without being offered the chutney, and left, vowing never to return. The samosas were decent enough, but we don't need to go through that type of experience again for samosas or buying Indian groceries. We have since heard about other stores in Victoria that offer indian groceries and ready-made snacks. We're excited to give those a try. What is disheartening about this whole situation is that across the street there is a Walmart that sells everything that Island Video/Grocery sells except for the videos and ready-made samosas. My wife and I are strong believers in supporting local small business to survice as much as possible, but, we support local business that not only want our business but also earn our business partly through pleasant interactions. Interestingly, this was the first shopping experience we have had since moving to Victoria that was outrightly uncomfortable and unfriendly. We are sure there are stores with similar offerings but actually want our business.
