We contacted Ben a little over a year before our wedding and immediately knew his style (music and…read morepersonality) would mesh well with ours. He knew the layout of Melrose Market Studios very well, so he was able to give us helpful advice about arranging the big pieces, such as where to put his dj setup, the cake, the dance floor, uplighting, tables, etc. We met again a few months before the wedding to figure out details. He created a sample playlist and asked for additional artists/songs we'd like played. We also sent him a Spotify playlist with other songs we love. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone any smoother! He listened and executed to our ceremony playlist perfectly; we had songs that didn't start at 0:00 and used 4 different songs. During the reception, he played such a great mix of dance, hip hop, freestyle, and kept the party jumping! AND on top of that he played two RuPaul songs, which were on the playlist and EVERYONE loved it!!!

Ben Meadow is hands down the BEST events DJ you can hire right now…read more You end up getting so much more than just a guy who plays music. You get someone personable to help you think through the ceremony, you get someone knowledgeable, who is able to sense which music to play to get people dancing, (or to slow things down without crashing to an unnatural halt), and you get someone extremely helpful on the day of the event. Ben does his homework. He doesn't just show up drinking red bull on the day of the party and ask where to set up his equipment. We met way in advance and he wrote up some notes on how we imagined our wedding flow and what kinds of music we wanted to play. He even analyzed our spotify playlists to get a feel for our candid tastes. The result was a perfect array of song choices on the day of. Ben is flexible, creative, incredibly professional and engaged. Some vendors can end up being high maintenance and a little bit stressful to work with. Every time we interacted with Ben he actually alleviated our stress. I can't tell you how valuable this is, especially in the weeks leading up to the big day. Highly HIGHLY recommend Ben. Not only does he deserve your business but you deserve his! He is an exemplary DJ to work with.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Josh! Our experience with him was amazing from the very…read morefirst phone call. He is so easy to work with, from the first moment we met him he completely put my mind at ease. Josh answered every question we had and was also responsive to any follow-up emails. Josh also has great attention to detail and is extremely professional. He stuck with us through several evolutions of our main songs, and he followed through with all of our music requests and gave us very helpful advice throughout the planning process. He even attended our rehearsal to make sure things on the day would run smoothly! Josh also does a phenomenal job of getting to know the couple and their vibe, and really making the music reflect the couple. The music for the whole day was perfect, he incorporated our preferred songs and artists in all the music on our wedding day from the pre-ceremony music, to the cocktail hour, to the reception. We also had a lot of music on our "likes" playlist that wasn't necessarily dancing music but Josh managed to incorporate all the songs we loved and keep everyone on the dance floor (no small feat!). He also accommodated requests on the day which was so appreciated! Neither of our families are huge dancers, so Josh had his work cut out for him and did a wonderful job of reading the room to play what our guests needed to stay out on the dance floor. We got so many comments from our guests about how great the music was that night! Everything flowed so perfectly thanks to Josh!! Thank you so much DJ Jopa!

What would you do if on your wedding day, the DJ you've been working with the whole planning year…read moresent his dad and didn't show up himself? Well, that's what happened to us. We first met with John Jr. of CrossSound Audio one year prior to our wedding date. We thought John Jr. was very personable and seemed like he knew the business really well. His main selling point? Typically if they're booked to be at an event, it's usually him that emcees through the evening and his dad, John Sr. ensures, from a technical stand point, nothing falls apart. John Jr. also took pride in the fact that they invest in the best equipment in the industry and that they value their prized equipment because John Sr. used to be in a band. Well, great! We were sold and since we liked John Jr., we decided to book them. Flash forward to our wedding day, an hour before the ceremony John Sr. walks up to me and explains that John Jr. won't be coming because John Jr's. wife (who's a wedding planner) also had a wedding, and that DJ decided to not show up. So, John Jr. decided to not show to our wedding to rescue his poor wife. We were shocked!!! Because throughout the year, we've worked only with Jr. John Sr. met with us once, but we didn't communicate via email nor were we confident that he knew the details of our wedding. I figured there was no need to get upset, and just go with it. Here's what went wrong: 1. The cueing of the procession was late..it started after people started walking. 2. Cueing of the recession was wrong. I had the song start at the chorus, but he started it from the beginning. 3. The introduction of the wedding party was quiet and boring. We wanted it to have more of a sports team intro feel to it but what we got was a snooze fest. 4. He refused to play Eminem's "Airplanes" because he said it was explicit when a guest requested it. He didn't even come to ask me if it was all right. 5. We gave him a specific playlist that he chose to sometimes follow and sometimes ignore. 6. The microphone decided to not work when the Matron of Honor gave her speech. After about 6 tries, she had to shout her speech. 7. Even when the speakers worked for the Best Man speech, we could hardly hear him. After our wedding, we decided to provide some candid feedback and ask for an explanation for why we were ditched by John Jr. They, still to this day, believe that they went "above and beyond our expectations" (straight from their mouths). My issue here is, MEETING our expectations meant that our DJ had to show up. Not showing up automatically deserves a FAIL don't you think?!?! The least they could have done was tell me as soon as they found out and explained the situation to me, rather than waiting an hour before the ceremony. That was unacceptable to me. In all fairness though, we asked for $450 back as a refund to compensate and they gave us $350 in the end, aftering a nail scratching on black board experience defending ourselves. CrossSound Audio is a poorly ran family owned business with unethical practices. They should not even be in this industry if they choose to serve their clients in this manner. Not only will I not use them again, I will be spreading my experience around to newly engaged friends and acquaintances. No one should have to hear from a guest, "Your DJ is horrible, you should ask for your money back!" while making your rounds greeting guests on your wedding day. I hope more people come on Yelp to share their experience with this company because people need to know. If I could give them 0 star, I would but Yelp won't let me.

My experience with CrossSound could not have been more different than Cindi's was…read more I just used John and John for my wedding last Friday and it was the most fantastic event EVER. John Jr was my contact and we talked several times before the wedding, he even went as far as to come up to the venue a few weeks before the ceremony to make sure he knew where to set up and verified that he would have ample outlets, etc. We went over my play list not once, but 3 different times, he even made some helpful suggestions for me. On the day of the wedding, both Johns were at the venue before I was, and were already sound checking and setting up. I used a customized song to walk down the aisle to, and with 9 attendants on each side plus 2 flower girls, it seemed like a complicated mess, but John looped the intro of my song, and when it was time for my dad and I to walk down, I was walking to the song I love, right where I wanted it to play. After the ceremony, both Johns stayed on track, kept our guests engaged, and played great music. I received several compliments after wards from friends and family saying he was one of the best DJ's they had seen at any wedding and a few of my friends asked for his contact info for their own upcoming ceremonies and events. Overall, I have no regrets about using these guys, would absolutely use them again, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ for their event. Thanks John!
