He had a pre-written script that we really liked and offered some ideas for additions. We also wrote our own vows and really customized our ceremony and he was very accommodating. His prices were very low too. The only slight issues we had was that he was supposed to say "trust and fidelity" and he said "fatality". But we were the only ones who noticed and it gave us a laugh.

Our communication was challenging. There was a lot of phone tag and I felt that I had to followup a few times too many. I didn't know what to expect the day of. On the day of the wedding, our venue created some challenges but Donna cruised through them and managed to pull everything together seamlessly to me and my guests. Herself and the staff member with her were both very polite and pleasant. Everything turned out very nicely. If it wasn't for the communication challenges prior, I would for sure be leaving 5 stars. This is a new company, and they will have a few kinks to iron out - but all in all....great job! :D Thanks!

I came across MotorCityHDJ on Yelp, where I opened a thread looking for an affordable DJ in the…read moreDetroit area. Their services came highly recommended, stating they had a ton of experience and were all-around nice guys. I was already on the fence about having a DJ as it was. We were having an afternoon wedding and were trying to keep costs low. The reception was only 3.5 hours long... I needed a good price in order to actually book someone. I already had a few quotes and wasn't impressed with any of the prices, so what did I have to lose? I went to their website to do some research and gave them a call. I got Brett, who was incredibly friendly over the phone. He totally understood our situation about having a DJ but gave us hope that there's good DJs out there willing to give a good price on a Sunday wedding. We met him at a local Starbucks to sign the agreement. He went over every section of the contract in detail so we completely understood what he was responsible for and what we were responsible for. And he was incredibly friendly. His personality type gets along with everyone. I love people like that. He accepted payment through Paypal, which was incredibly convenient for us. His website was really intuitive, with detailed forms for us to fill out with details about the ceremony, the timeline of the reception and even a music form so we could choose what songs we wanted him to play. On one of the forms, I made it clear what music I didn't want to hear and he totally stuck with that at the reception. One thing I totally appreciated was how Brett was willing to do the outdoor music preceding the ceremony for no extra charge. We were having an extremely short ceremony, so I just wanted music to lead us down the aisle. We offered to pay extra but he said it wasn't a big deal. How sweet is that? Up until the day of the wedding, Brett stayed in perfect contact with me. He even called me the day of the wedding to make sure I was staying calm (rain on my wedding day when the ceremony was supposed to be outside... of course I wasn't calm.) But it was a nice gesture. The ceremony was moved inside and Brett was awesome with the change of plans. He still played our processional music, jazzy music during dinner and finally dance music after dinner was served. One detail we totally loved was that Brett wore a pink and purple tie so he matched our wedding colors! Small detail that made a big difference. Everyone told me they loved our DJ. Some people even thought he was a personal friend of ours because he was so friendly and personable while on the mic. He played the exact music that I wanted to hear at my reception... classic rock with current dance hits mixed in. It's like he knew me my whole life with the way he nailed my musical preferences. He did perfect. I couldn't say enough nice things about MotorCityHDJ. They turned us from an "on the fence" couple to "we totally needed a DJ" couple.

She is able to customize the background of the photos, the background of the printed photos, and shape of the photos- strips vs 4x6 print outs. She is amazing! The photobooth was the hit of our party. She even suggested that we use the brick background of the loft-space, which was absolutely gorgeous. She provided everyone with a print out, and also provided each picture individually online (facebook) and gives you the option of a jump drive vs CD. WOW! You seriously cannot ask for more. I definetly recommend to use her services, you will not be disappointed.

I also bought a Groupon, and I feel that these girls weren't ready to do a Groupon. They seemed intent on charging for small things because they wouldn't actually make money from the Groupon. As another reviewer said, Groupons aren't for making money, they're for referrals. Given their service, I'm not sure how many referrals they're getting. If you can't afford to run a Groupon, don't. I too was charged a travel fee for less than 50 miles, which was not what the Groupon stated. I actually was charged $75, after being quoted $100 and asking for a lower price because that's ridiculous. My venue is less than 50 miles from Ferndale. I decided to buy the expensive scrapbook option, though I would have preferred to buy my own scrapbook to use, but was told that wasn't allowed (wait, I thought this was my wedding!). I would have liked something that matched my colors or theme or was more personalized. I wasn't told what the scrapbook would look like, and when I asked I was told it would be black. No options to choose from, and if I'm remembering right the scrapbook was about $100. There are gaudy plastic crystals on it, really just not my style for something that's supposed to be a memento. What really pissed me off, was that with the scrapbook there was only one set of pages, so they ran out of pages for people to sign. The entire point of paying extra for the book was to get people's messages and have it be like a guestbook that I could look back on. However, almost half of my guests who took pictures were not able to sign the book since they ran out of pages. Thinking back on this now, I should have asked for my money back because of this. They should bring extra pages, they could even have in their contract something saying if we need extra pages we'll bring them and charge you $X. Instead, they just came unprepared and told me "too bad, we ran out." Lastly, the actual printouts have their company name and email address on them. I feel like I'm paying for their marketing. Tacky. These aren't business cards. Other companies offered customizable photo strips, or have your names and date on them. They also posted our pictures on their Facebook page. I understand that everyone wants to see them, but one of my guests was mad that it was posted publicly. I guess I'd have liked more explicit asking of our permission before they were posted on their public page. It's a little creepy that total strangers who "like" their page can see our intimate wedding. All in all, my guests liked the booth and had fun with it, but they would have with a booth from any number of companies. These girls don't seem to have experience or a handle on good customer service, so I wouldn't recommend them.

Rob, one of the owners of EEG, called me without hesitation or reservation. He didn't make me feel like an idiot for calling 2 days before my wedding. He just assessed what I wanted, made sure they had the lighting to do so, gave me a quote and set it all up the day of the wedding. I received TONS of compliments with how beautiful the room looked and the amazing lighting and decor. My wedding theme was more romantic, with lots of votive candles, but the one thing I wanted more than anything (as far as wedding decor) were bistro lighting over the dance floor to look like my husband and I were dancing underneath the stars. He was also able to add the sheer cloth with stringed lights for our the back of our headtable... which really made a difference in the room! First of all, not that many lighting vendors even can do that. Second, EEG was the only vendor who attended to me with such short notice. When I talked to Rob and asked how he was able to do it, he simply told me EEG loves to do weddings and was excited for this challenge. They truly made my dream wedding come true. Rob is amazing to work with! He and the rest of the EEG staff are so amazing and very diligent workers. He told me he had 6 other weddings to set-up and tear down, but it did not interfere with the amazing work they put up for us. Hands down, one of the best vendors I've worked with!!
