I had high hopes, having heard so many people talk about this place. As such I was expecting to be…read moredisappointed as usual. I was not disappointed in the least. First the place is quiet, clean, and every one I met was super nice. Second they don't make you feel like some other not for profits, you know like they are doing you a favor so you better be happy with what ever you get... No, not here. I actuality genuinely felt like these wanted to help people. A great feeling. The resources here are impressive. I couldn't believe that they cost little to no money out of pocket. Of course the over draw back with anything of this type is the amount of people in need and the a ability to support that need. So for some services, very few I have to add, there is a waiting list. Lighthouse is a great great place. A place that has filled me with hope and ambition.

Have you ever met someone and just knew that they're going to be fun? That was Bobby! We met Bobby…read moreat the Bridal Expo and instantly hit it off. Bobby was friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, Bobby had a great vibe. My husband and I are very different (he, a selective introvert and me, a social butterfly), yet, Bobby connected with the both of us. In the end, we hired Bobby to be our DJ and MC for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made! After making official contact with Bobby, things couldn't have gone any smoother. A few weeks before our wedding, Bobby emailed us an Excel spreadsheet to prep for the big day- I appreciated this because it showed that he was organized and made an effort to put our needs first. He asked us to provide a list of songs that must be played, but we ran out of time. Instead, we gave him a theme (the 90s-2000s pop/hip hop/r&b) and he played all the songs that we loved. Even better, our dance floor was never empty! Bobby went above and beyond with his service- he made it a point to come to our rehearsal dinner so he could scope out the venue. He made sure the venue had the outlets he needed, where we would set up, where he could park, etc. He even stayed after to discuss lighting at the venue and ways to make it better. I could tell he wanted to be prepared and was willing to put in the extra time and effort to ensure he was as prepared as he could be. For our big day, we had two special requests for Bobby- 1) find/play two popular Thai songs (crowd favorites at traditional Mien weddings) and 2) carve time at the end of the reception for an intimate last dance- and he was able to deliver on both! Aside from the music, Bobby was a lively MC! He did a great job amping the crowd and setting a positive tone for the party. It was AMAZING! HE was AMAZING! Overall, we would (and have) recommended Bobby to our family and friends! He received many compliments after our wedding, and he deserved all of them. We were just so impressed by Bobby and so happy we found him!

He has this great planning sheet that gets you aligned quickly on wants and needs. He easily captured the right vibes we were going for with the music and really pumped up the guests. The dance floor was roaring thanks to his beats. I especially appreciated how Bobby was able to flex and identify how and when to shift music based on who was on the dance floor. He kept all ages happy. My bridal party really enjoyed working with him as well. Such a fun easy-going guy. Highly recommend!

First Jamie didn't show up for an initial meet and greet to go over the venue's layout. So, had to…read moredrive to the venue again to meet with him. The day of the event, he was passive aggressive and wouldn't listen to our requests. Asked him 1. To not play the music super loud, but he gradually kept turning the volume up as the night went on. 2. He used a smoke machine that emitted a horrible smell and when asked to turn it off, he would turn it off when asked, but then would immediately turn it back on again. This happened at least 3 times. When the event was over, he was very rude when asking for the balance to be paid. Overall, he was very passive aggressive and i was honestly embarrassed that we hired him.

The Vibo app he uses breaks down each section of the ceremony and reception, making it easy to build playlists that he skillfully integrates into the flow of the day. Mark was professional, communicative, and incredibly flexible--allowing us to make last-minute edits right up to our wedding date. Our expectations were completely exceeded as we danced the night away with our loved ones. The energy never dipped for a moment, and I went absolutely feral when he dropped a mash-up of Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra" and Charli XCX's "Von Dutch." His mixing abilities and unmatched MC skills kept the night flowing seamlessly and the crowd completely engaged. Choose Mark, and you'll quickly understand why he's earned so many awards and accolades.
