They had helpful organizational tools leading up to the event that kept us on track with which songs we needed and gave us an easy place to log them. We had a prep call with our DJ, Chris, who asked us questions about our musical taste, level of DJ interaction we wanted at the wedding, etc. And on the day-of, he delivered: the dance floor was packed and everyone had a fantastic time. My biggest fear in hiring a DJ is that they would be cheesy, or not be able to read the room, and Chris was neither of those things. He knew his stuff and what we wanted, and was a valuable addition to our day. I would highly recommend Spinnin' Discs (and Chris in particular!) to anyone planning a wedding!

Spinnin Discs did both my ceremony music and the reception - so they assigned us 2 DJs for the entire day. We worked with Anthony and he was great. They make it really easy for you to select songs on their website - listing out all the specific portions of the ceremony processional and reception that you need to select songs for. The need to select a list of songs for cocktail hour, dinner, etc. was a little overwhelming for me - I would have preferred if they would have gotten an idea of what kind of music we liked and went with that. Overall, I think the DJs did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor. I loved when he threw in some old school Blink 182 for everyone to dance to. My only complaint is that he played all of my "Must Plays" in a row more toward the end of the night instead of spreading them out. I also like that they do a good job of coordinating and practicing with you for introductions to make sure they get all the names pronounced right.

Stephen stayed in touch with me for that entire year and a half, checking in on the planning process and asking how he could help. He even met with me for coffee a few months before the wedding because he wanted to be sure that he understood our vision, music tastes, etc. The dance floor was full all night. So many people came up to me afterward and commented that they had never seen such a creative DJ - his transitions between songs were so fun, and he was flexible and knew how to keep the party going. He also provided all of the sound equipment for the entire day. We played a video during the reception, and even though he wasn't responsible for the equipment, he quickly jumped in when it looked like the sound wasn't working. Honestly, there is no reason to consider using any other DJ. Backthird is the best of the best!

I manage events for a living and knew that, if I didn't have someone to do that, I would spend the night worried about the agenda. Nobody needs that on their wedding day. I came across Backthird Entertainment and these guys have weddings down. I filled out an inquiry and Robbie, my account manager, contacted me right away to discuss the details. He had great ideas about the flow of the evening and, after our discussion, he paired us up with DJ Andrew. Their online portal was super easy to use and we had the opportunity to add in all of the special events we wanted during the evening. Andrew was great about helping us coordinate everything, especially since our reception ended up being a bit of a variety show. I appreciated that Andrew and his assistant, Scott, took care of all the details. They showed up early to set up, kept us on schedule throughout the evening, and made sure to play our "must play" songs and other requests at the times requested. Robbie even made sure to follow up with me at various times throughout the process to make sure everything was going well. These guys are great and really care about their customers. They helped make my big day worry free!

We had a brunch wedding with less than two hours of open dance floor, so this wasn't necessarily something we wanted to prioritize. For what we paid, they were the perfect option for us. The reason for three stars is because there were a couple errors at our wedding: -in the middle of the ceremony (in which we were relying on our DJ's technology), the microphone cut out -when announcing us as a couple, after going over pronunciation multiple times, he still said our last name incorrectly -my father passed away a few years back, and it was made very clear at our planning meeting leading up to the wedding as well as at the wedding itself (by both me and my wedding coordinator!) that it would be a MOTHER daughter dance, yet our DJ announced it as father daughter. This mistake had my mom in tears and definitely made this already sad situation even worse -our "must play" list, which we agonized over, was not played in its entirety, yet songs off our "maybe" list were played Again, little errors here and there really dampened my overall satisfaction. If a DJ is your top priority, I wouldn't necessarily suggest you use Angels with an Edge.

Communication with the owner was good, but overall the service on our day was not…read more Though I had sent a itinerary of the day a week in advance there were some things missing from announcements and instead of being 100% focused on enjoying the moment I had to play a bit of chasing to make sure things were done (and a few were done but not at all within the time-frames given.) Disappointing. Issues- Missing announcements, poor follow up on the day, incorrect location at venue (could possibly been the venue's fault) and music volume needed to be corrected. Printing and keeping the doc I created, and checking the full detail once he was on site would have helped correct a lot of problems.. I directly informed the owner Cyndi about our negative experience and though I received an email back immediately saying she would check into this, no other follow up or efforts were received.

If there's a better DJ…read morecompany out there, I'd love to know what more they could possibly do than O'Dea did for us on our wedding day. Here's our story. We planned our wedding out to great detail early on. Early on we decided that we didn't want a DJ; we had both been to weddings that had DJ's that turned the wedding into a 4 hour advertisement for their company. I had all of the music on my iSomething and the hall was able to accommodate us just plugging in our music and hitting play. 3 weeks before the wedding my lovely fiance' sprung the change on me; she thought a DJ would be a good idea. After my initial shock and protest, as well as her saying she had a friend of a friend that knew someone that had worked with a guy that knew this DJ company (OK, it wasn't exactly like that but they were referred to us)... I said OK and called them up. After a brief round of phone-tag, Clara and I got in touch. We talked through the date, the times, and what we wanted for the wedding. I was initially apprehensive because I had 50+ songs already picked out that we HAD to have at the wedding and she said that we needed to pick 5 "must have" songs. As leery as I was, we agreed to have her DJ (Ed) meet with us. Two days later (we talked on a Saturday, met Ed on Monday), Ed drove out from the city to our home in the 'burbs to meet with us. From minute one we were comfortable with Ed. Him and his fellow DJ (I think his brother) are the primary guys doing the gigs and they pick who does what based on Clara's phone screening (they tailor the DJ to the type of party/people involved). Ed is a Chicago native with a cool demeanor and he can handle anything you throw at him. We talked through our concerns about advertising, the song list, and what we needed to have played, and at every turn, he was cool with it all. Ed reviewed our song list and made some recommendations that were absolutely spot on; some songs that you and I may THINK are great to dance to... aren't. Some that we might think won't work in a dance... will. I gave Ed some creative license; songs I had planned for the dinner he moved to the dance time. Some that I thought would work for dancing he moved to cocktail hour. It didn't matter. I gave him a list of 50+ songs that we needed to have played. At the end of the night he came to me all excited that he got them all in except one, which was amazing; it was an eclectic mix! More than just playing the songs, there were, as there are with any wedding, changes to the schedule. We pulled dinner forward in time, we extended the dancing, we changed up the order of the special dances and the cake-cutting. Ed rolled with it all. We had a child-meltdown because he missed HIS song. Ed played a 1-minute snipit of it to avoid a very important child to us from focusing on missing his favorite song. After the wedding, everyone that we've talked to has said that everything went well but everyone that really knows the behind the scenes parts has said that the DJ was particularly outstanding. Ed did our wedding proud. His whole DJ booth was set up in the corner, with discrete black scrims shielding the lights from his laptop, the mixing board, and the whole setup was as unobtrusive as I've ever seen. At the same time, the music was loud enough to keep the dance floor going but not so loud that it drowned out conversations off of the dance floor. At the end of the day, could we have saved money with an MP3 player and an audio cable? Yes. Would that have caused MORE stress, probably caused some mis-timed music, some long pauses, and made us unable to change up the order of the songs based on the dynamic nature of events like weddings? Yes. Was O'Dea Entertainment a good choice for our wedding? Yes, Yes, a thousand times Yes. Thank you Ed and Clara for making our wedding sound amazing.

The first thing I did after setting the date, was hire the same company, Monastero, to do our wedding. Music is very important in our lives, and I wanted to make sure that our reception was non-stop dancing! Rob Monastero is the principal, and he held my hand through the whole process. He introduced us to Mike, who would be our DJ. We talked about the order of events, the guests, the overall feeling we were trying to achieve, and special requests we would need. Leading up to the big day, I gave them our lists of songs, timing of speeches, etc. (Monastero has a website that makes it super easy to add songs, notes, etc). Day of, Mike was there early to set up. After some modifications to the space layout, he perfected the positioning of his impressive booth, complete with lighting. Once we were through the intros, and the speeches and the dinner music, he got that party started! And, OMG, did we dance. He kept that floor going. Two weeks later and I'm still getting compliments about the music. Mike and Rob, thank you for making our wedding something special. We are so grateful.
