Ok where should I start. This DJ offers DJ'ing services for a low price, and when you hear the term "you get what you pay for" well... this DJ proves that theory correct. 1st, when talking to the DJ (DJ Ray Young of DJ Foe Life Mobile Services) he explained that he would be there 1 hour before the event so that he could get everything going, he didn't... he got there 15 min after the wedding was suppose to start. Thankful that our was delayed due to rain (it was an outdoor wedding). Then it took him at least 30 min to get everything set up, the sun at this time was starting to come out so we were ready to roll, he wasn't. When asked how long it was going to take his response was "I don't know". You claim that you've been doing this for years and you cant give an estimate on the time? 2nd, he finally gets everything set up, but the sound was horrible. It sounded like we were listening to a radio station that was out of range! I asked him if he had the entrance music ready (for the walk of the Bridesmaids, groomsman, and groom), and the Brides entrance song, he said no and that I didn't tell him what songs they were. OK 2 days before the wedding I sent him a picture message with the music playlist (per his request) on the playlist form that he provided.
I told him to pull it up on his phone, he did I pointed it out and he says "oh I don't know how I missed that". So now he has to download the music taking up more time. At this time my mother in law is furious telling he that he has 20min to get everything together or he's fired. I ask him if he could get everything together in 20min, he says yes. After that He finally has the music downloaded. The sound was still horrible. But since we were already 50min behind schedule we just went with the static filled sounds of DJ Ray's speakers. During the ceremony he starts mic checking his equipment. After our ceremony was complete He plays the first dance song at the wrong moment. During the whole event you see him taking selfies, which I've just found out are videos that he has uploaded on YouTube which to me is very unprofessional.
Seems to me that he was more into making himself look fly than doing the actual job. 3rd, During our toast he repeatedly complained openly on the mic about no one handing him a drink, also very unprofessional. The only positive that came from hiring "Dj Foe Life Mobile Services" is the fact that he fixed the music problem, so we had crisp playing music the rest of the night. Would I hire this guy again? NO! Was he worth the money? NO! read more
