Rock Entertainment saved our reception. Our wedding was this past June, on 6/18/17, and it was a 50/50 mixture of traditional korean elderly (mostly family), and the other half were all friends (non-korean speakers). We hired both an MC and a DJ, and it was probably, by far, one of the best decision we made for our wedding.
Our MC was Grant, and our DJ was Sun. Both were beyond outstanding. My now husband and I were apprehensive about hiring a DJ/MC both because we were also on a tight budget, and also, because we thought our guests would be interacting just fine. But boy, were we wrong. Weddings can be so awkward! But through all that, Grant and Sun worked together to bring the differences in our cultural group together to let us have a stress-free, and enjoyable night to remember!
A bit of logistics: Grant and Sun arrived at our venue probably a good 2 hours before the wedding to start setting up, and scoping out the area. Even before then, their communication with us was impeccable. Always quick to respond, and never kept the bride and groom waiting for answers or replies. As I mentioned above, my husband and I were apprehensive about hiring an entertainment team. Rock entertainment also works closely their sister company, Shine entertainment. In the beginning, we met with Shine entertainment to have a consultation about our wedding. Coby, the owner of Shine and Rock(?) came out to LA to meet with us and gave us a thorough outline of what our wedding would look like.* They had binders, and even pulled up pictures and videos from other weddings to show us (these pictures were taken by guests from other weddings). They weren't shy about showing us their previous weddings/other events, which really showed us what they were really about. They never once tried to sell us anything, but gave us their genuine, and honest, professional advice about why an entertainment team would be the best route to go -- not why we should hire them.
*We decided to go with Rock because of the availability in the MC/DJ's schedules, and because of language. We needed someone who could speak and understand Korean.
They give you a DJ worksheet to fill out, and they are flexible even until the last minute before the reception starts! The worksheet contains columns and charts on what you as a couple want, do not want, what kind of music you like, and dislike. It even asks you yes or no questions on if you'd like the guests of your wedding to recommend songs as well. Of course, all recommendations would be thoroughly assessed to its appropriateness by the DJ, and what the bride/groom/venue would allow. I know for a fact that Grant and Sun did exactly, and even above and beyond what we gave them in our DJ worksheet. They were so professional.
Rock and Shine entertainment are willing to work with you on pricing. They are very understanding, and will asses everyone's situation fairly, and whatever price you pay, they will go above and beyond the price you actually paid for. They truly love their jobs, and you can see it in their character.
Simply put, I would recommend Rock, and Shine Entertainment to anyone who is planning a wedding. They made our lives so stress free, and that's exactly what the bride and groom needs at this time! read more
