Hey are you or your kids looking for music lessons over the summer or into the fall? If you like…read moresupporting local businesses and know how important music can be, I suggest this local business as it is Madison Valley's hidden gem. Here is a little bit about me. I have been a student of The Music Factory for 5 years. Here are three things that set them apart from the rest. One, they are super flexible. Lessons can be taken from The Music Factory, online, or even at your own house. Two, the staff are super kind and friendly. Every interaction I have had with them has been wonderful and supportive. Three, The Music Factory is located in a house. It feels like you are at home and the environment is really calming and warm.

I started at the music factory after seeing some of their flyers, and was taking lessons there for…read morearound a year. I really enjoyed my time with the music factory, and I was connected with some awesome people/great musicians and mentors. I was able to explore many new concepts and even a new instrument, and every step of the way was guided by first class musicians. I highly recommend TMF to anyone, but especially adult students who want expert, in-person lessons! I worked specifically on guitar with Blake and drums with Tim, and both of them were really great at gauging where I was at coming in and helping me figure out where I could grow.

My husband and I are now approaching our 2-Year wedding anniversary, and I was thinking fondly on…read moreour day and realized we hadn't recognized some of the people who made our day so amazing. (Sorry Adam!) Adam met my husband and I at a pub for our initial consult to see if we might be a good fit. I can tend to be all business, but we wound up chatting with Adam and drinking some delicious IPAs for nearly 3 hours, and as my husband and I walked out the door he said, "I know you're going to hire him, why don't you just do that now?!" Adam met with us again a week or two before the wedding to go over the day of details, make recommendations, and continue to get a better feel for who we were as a couple. On the day of, Adam was fantastic and had worked with many of our vendors before (and even ended up knowing two of our guests!) so it made for a very smooth event. The music was fantastic - one of our guests even said the best music they'd heard at a wedding! (Save for my one indulgence of Dance Magic Dance by David Bowie!) Thank you so much for being a wonderful part of our experience and sorry for the 2 year delay :) You can't go wrong hiring Adam!

Adam is more than a DJ, I think he is now our friend!…read more We found Adam's name on a referral list in the brochure of the venue where we got married (Lake Quinault Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula). We are so glad we did! From the start, Adam was on top of things, providing us a multitude of options and just generally feeling out what it was we were looking for. We had ideas, and he helped shaped them, giving advice, and even providing us ceremonial services on top of the reception. We had a couple hours-long planning session about a month out, and he not only went through our playlist and wedding party names for pronunciation, but he also asked us great questions, like what music do our parents like, who are some of our favorite bands not on the playlist, etc., which he helped craft into an unforgettable experience by mixing in songs throughout the day's events, making some truly great remixes and stylistic flourishes that kept people on the dance floor all night long, and so much more. He even worked with us on cutting out the audio in Don't Stop Believin' like they did in the finale of the Sopranos! It was just a pleasure to have a guy like Adam for our event, who takes his work very seriously but does it in such a fun and easy manner. Neither my wife or I will be getting married again LOL, and we live on the opposite sides of the country as Adam, but something tells me we'll cross paths again, somehow and someway, because everything was perfect, and Adam was a big part of making that so. We'll find a way to rock out again. (Edit: after reading this over to my wife Charley before posting, she said well we might do a vow renewal, and if that's the case, Adam will do that.) Cheers dude, you killed it! John & Charley

Seattle Event Music was the BEST decision that my husband and I have made to have at our wedding…read more We always wanted a live band and decided to go with this band and they were incredible!! They played throughout our whole wedding and did it so flawlessly. The sound was amazing, their skills were amazing, and everyone around us loved it!! They are all so talented and made the atmosphere of our wedding so much better because of the music. They also had no trouble learning the songs I wanted them to play and I was so so happy with them. Thank you so much Seattle Event Music!!! I definitely recommend having them play at your event, they are amazing and will not disappoint!

Nicole and the quartet were such an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony! They did a custom…read moresong for our walk down the aisle and it was perfect. It was our wedding song and we both cried when I heard how beautifully they played it. Our only regret is not booking them for cocktail hour as well. They played as guests arrived and everyone said they felt like they were on the set of Bridgerton! Such a wide range of song choices in their catalog and it was so fun picking out the songs our guest would hear. Nicole was fanatic in the communication department and we had everything squared away long before our wedding which was so nice to not scramble the last week of with emails. We requested an all female quartet and the delivered that effortlessly! 10/10! Thank you and the quartet so much!

They put together 2 custom arrangements for our processional and recessional that were perfect! They were on time and very nice and professional. If you are looking for beautiful live music for your wedding or event, look no further! Their diverse repertoire provided a little something for all of our guests.

Arturo was our DJ for our wedding at the space needle. We wanted a bilingual DJ who knew both…read moreEnglish and Spanish since most of my family speaks Spanish as a first language. Arturo was eloquent and ran the wedding perfectly. The music set up and lights were very well done. We had a four hour open bar and we did not experience any issues and everyone had a great time. For anyone considering having Arturo at your wedding as a DJ, you should definitely do it. His rates are reasonable and my husband (military) is a fine detail type planner so he kept us to budget - after discussions with all the various services, Arturo was (a) mature, (b) moderately priced, (c) had his own equipment and set up, and (d) was respectful. The number one issue my husband had when talking to DJ's were that they were (a) young and distasteful in approach and (b) nickel and dimed over every detail. If we have another party in the future we will be contacting Arturo again.

this is the follow up letter i sent to Arturo after he dj'd our event…read more Dear Arturo, I would like to follow up in writing about my experience of your DJ services so that you can know what I am posting on review sites. You showed up to our event un prepared: this included not having your lights that we had agree upon, a missing extension cord and not putting together our playlist. You left to retrieve your lights causing you to be almost 30 minutes late to the event, and on the phone on your way back you requested an extension cord from the facility. Not following clear instructions: I had sent you a play list several weeks in advance was not played. You told my husband that you had intended on formulating it upon arrival. The playlist also requested that no songs with profanity be played, and this was also not followed. There was an overabundance of ABBA played, such that our friends are now calling it the "ABBA party." Unprofessional conduct: The bar tender told me that she had to "cut you off" from the alcohol served at the party. I'm not sure what is typical in your profession, but in my profession any drinking on the job is unacceptable. Additionally, when I tried to speak with you at the end of the evening to express my dissatisfaction, instead of apologizing, you were defensive and argumentative, possibly because of the alcohol, but regardless in appropriate. As someone in the customer service industry, I am particularly aware and sensitive to dealing with clients and going above and beyond to make a client happy. Perhaps this is something for you to think about in the future. I hope you take some lessons from this experience, I know I will. Cherie
