From…read morestart to finish, Iman and his team did absolutely everything they could do to make the wedding planning process seamless and our wedding day exactly how we imagined. We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!

Forrest at the Silver Spring location is really great and he extract the most out of the kids in a really positive environment. My son has been to many music schools and lessons over the years and this really is an outstanding program. The best part is it really has many kids who are really musically inclined, talented and willing to work in a group setting. The performances are very impressive and fun to watch. I can not say enough good things about it. The price is very reasonable and they don't pressure you to subscribe to packages or long term contracts - if you pull out you don't pay any more. They focus on who wants to be there. Give it a try - much better than similar programs in Bethesda.

I just ended my employment here after 5 months. I was only afford a couple hours on Sundays for…read morework with the promise that I would be able to pick up more students and days quickly. I was given $15 an hour while working less than 4 hours a week. The lessons aren't even an hour long so i was hardly even being paid to provide expert professional lessons to young children. Essentially I was an underpaid babysitter. On top of being unable to provide employment, my one day that i worked ranged from 3-4 hours a day where i was teaching drums and guitar back to back. I was not given any space of time to switch gears as well as i had to change rooms between each lesson. This was made more difficult by a manager who would pester me about getting out of one lesson to go to the next, presumably because if i went over on the lessons i would then go over on my work time and therefore have to be paid for more than just the minutes where i was in lessons. My last day of employment, I had called in an hour before i was to be there, as I was sick, I had been seeking a day off so as to recover and not come in with an unknown illness that might be contagious. I contacted the manager who proceeded to berate me about her personal issues and was told that because other teachers had called out on other days this week she was unwilling to contact my students and cancel my lessons. I was also told to consume whatever quantity of cough syrup i needed and chase that with vitamin C. I showed up for these lessons, first student didn't even show up. I spent the next two days trying to work out in my head what had happened so that i could contact the manager to follow up without carrying my personal baggage to the conversation. The manager tried to make contact to "discuss School of Rock's staffing policy". I received this message the day after my lessons which i taught while carrying a sickness. As I had missed the managers call, this was the first point of contact she made with me following what had happened, which set me off and so i took an extra day to clear my head, fearing the harassment from my employer of being unwilling to understand or care for my needs as an employee. There was one or two more attempts made at contacting me before what happened next. After three days i received, an email to my inbox stating that my employment had been terminated. I work another job that provides me with just short of full time employment, yet left me availability to work at School of Rock on any day of the week. I had never called out sick prior to this situation. and had been forced to miss/move lessons to cover other people's call outs, mostly made the day of the class or lesson that needed covering. I feel very strongly that I was treated with disdain and profiled as an irresponsible person and made to feel outcast by this organization because of my status as a musician. To the point where i feel that supporting musicians means not enrolling in School of Rock. To my students: I am very sorry that I could not say bye or finish lessons that I had started with you. That is unacceptable.

We hired DJ Bryan George very shortly after finding our venue as his reviews were so good and we…read morewere not disappointed. Bryan worked with us up until the wedding, checking-in and answering any questions we had in the year leading up. We chose the DJ package with lighting and then ended up adding on the strings for the ceremony & cocktail a few months later. Bryan provided planning documents that made it easy to share the vision for the vibe of our wedding. The strings were absolutely perfect and had a great modern collection. Our DJ on the day of the wedding was Ramses who was WONDERFUL! Guests raved about the music and his energy was immaculate. He did such a great job MC-ing without being too cheesy and kept everyone on the dance floor. The lighting made our room look even more beautiful! I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

Currently, I have the joy of working with the Gospel Choir at the U.S.N.A. Needless to say, my gear has to work. Everything has to be excellent 100% of the time - that's the vibe there. So, when my keys needed repair, it had to get done quickly & correctly. Only the piano sound was working, and if you know anything about the SV1, you know you get it for the Rhodes and Wurli patches (which simply weren't working). Protech was the only licensed Korg repair shop in the area, so it was an easy choice regarding where to take the instrument. They charge a reasonable $75 diagnosis fee upfront, and then inform you as to the problem and a quote to perform the repairs. I'm always leery of timeframes with shops, but these gents were timely. It was about two week, and an additional $144 ($219 total), which is very reasonable. It's worth noting that their work does come with a 30 day guarantee. I did have to utilize this fact, as the SV1 needed a second round of love to get her back to new. They honored the agreement, and did the work at no additional charge. Protech is good enough for me and the US Navy - you can feel confident in taking your gear to them.

I took my Sony CD player in for repair. I was unable to remove the 275 CDs because the unit was…read moreinoperative. When I got the unit back, 7 CDs were missing. I spoke with 3 reps about the matter & Bob was the most obstinate, aggressive person in the trio. I'm a 74 year old military veteran with much better things to do than accuse folks over 7 CDs, in hopes of being reimbursed. Of the over 275 CDs in the unit, most are artists of color. All 7 of the missing CDs were by white artists, just a coincidence I suppose. The tech I dealt with when I picked the unit up was inhospitable. Never told me he had put the box he had placed my CDs in over by the exit. Never returning there & never suggesting them to anyone else.
