He was responsive and awesome throughout planning, had a follow-up call with us a month before the wedding to talk through specifics, and then when the day came, he was everything we wanted -- played into a joke from our ceremony throughout the evening, kept the energy high, and even got out on the dance floor with us. The dance portion of our wedding was hugely important to us, and it lived up to all our wishes thanks to DJ Shawdy. We even got multiple compliments on how awesome our DJ was.

Luca Recently played our wedding, and he was absolutely incredible! We met Luca at a wedding…read moreconvention, and we were initially weary as he was the only vendor we went with where we didn't have a recommendation from someone close to us. However, in the end we were so very glad we did. From the start, Luca was amazing with working with us on finances, what he would wear, what songs to learn, what equipment to bring. As the time got closer to the wedding Luca was diligent on making sure every detail was taken care of. He verified he could use his equipment at our very strict locations, made sure he was matching with the wedding colors, and made sure he knew every song. He had volunteered, and even learned a few songs for us for the wedding. We had a somewhat complex wedding with the ceremony and reception almost 2 hours drive apart. Luca however showed up early for the ceremony, played perfectly all the way through, played a wonderful piece when the bride was walking down the aisle (she was so happy!), and when done packed up his equipment and drove all the way down to the reception. He made it early and set up for the reception, and played the cocktail hour, DJ'ed as necessary, interacted in a very polite and professional way, and was generally a hit. The best part of all, was during the first dance. We had previously told him what song/version we were using, and before we got started he noted to us he had been "practicing a few places to play along to the song, if we're interested". With his performance so far we obviously said yes. His additions to the song were absolutely beautiful, and it made for a unique and wonderful first dance. We were lucky to have the perfect wedding, with the perfect vendors, and Luca is one person to thank for that. I hope we have events in the future where we can use him - he is time conscious, polite, talented, and so friendly. This is someone you cannot go wrong with for your wedding.

The thing I liked most about him was the list of songs he had memorized and offered to play. My mom, fiance and I loved him so much we decided we had to have him play at our wedding. We hired him to play during cocktail hour and dinner as I thought it would create a nice ambience to have instrumental music play while guests chatted and enjoyed each others company. Our guests loved Luca and thought he was incredibly talented. Luca is super friendly and very responsive to e-mails. Working with him via e-mail to sort out all of the details of the wedding was easy. Thanks Luca for helping to make our wedding a day to remember!

Where Ever REALLY impressed and made a huge difference is just how nice and accommodating Brian (the group coordinator) is. We got married at the Auberge du Soleil which has pretty strict rules regarding approved music groups - that was a challenge for us given I wanted my college friend to sing the "first dance" song. Luckily, when I shared this idea with Brian, he was happy to accommodate! He worked directly with my friend and coordinated everything. The day of, everything went off seamlessly. Brian had directly worked with the venue on setup time and didn't charge anything extra even though they had to show up early. There were also no disruptive sound checks - they were just totally professional and ready to go the minute our speeches were done and we did the "big reveal" of the cake / dance floor / band. Ever is professional, accommodating, and excellent overall. Thank you Brian for being an amazing and SEAMLESS part of our big day!

Hillary (piano) and Monika (violin) have their own nice website with bios, sound clips, booking info, etc., but I wanted to add my rave review to the mix for them. Hillary and Monika provided the music for our wedding reception at the Brazilian Room in Tilden Park in May 2007 and we got lots of compliments on the quality of the music. They spoke with us quite a bit in the weeks before the wedding about what kind of music we wanted and Hillary provided suggestions when I was uncertain. As the reception was about to begin, I was embarrassed to realize that I hadn't actually had anyone move the piano to the correct location for them, but they gamely rearranged and didn't make me feel bad about this obvious goof on my part. In addition to playing beautiful music to high artistic standards, they are delightful people and were probably the easiest to work with of any of the professionals involved in the wedding ceremony and reception. Thank you, Hillary and Monika!

All I had to do was give them our wedding time line and they knew what to do from there! I didn't have to worry about anything regarding our music! Thank you to Hillary who was very responsive through email and super helpful too!

Robert Casale was a great addition to my wedding a couple weeks ago…read more I came across his reviews on google and decided to give him a shot. Upon our initial phone conversation I knew this was my guy. He sounded professional, kind, and prepared. He met with me at the venue and this made me more comfortable knowing that my DJ understands the venue location/environment. My fiance and I had a strict playlist we wanted played for our wedding, he did a great job with the music. He made sure the CD's I gave him was ready to go. When problems came up regarding my CD's he was quickly able to adapt to the situation and bring my desired songs up. He pays a lot of attention to details and that was a great assurance for me as my wedding had to be perfect. DJ Robert made sure my wedding went smoothly; his transitions and ability to get the dance floor hyped up was amazing. Will definitely do business with Robert in the future. His price range was right up in my budget. I got the best bang for my buck. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY DJ EVENT!

We first experienced Robert Casale at our friend's wedding in 2010 in Santa Cruz, CA. When my, now…read morehusband, and I got engaged last year, the first call we made after deciding on our date and venue was Robert. He did such an amazing job at our friends' wedding that we knew we had to have him! We got married this past July in Sebastopol, CA and Robert lived up to expectations! From start to finish, we couldn't have asked for more. We had a tricky outdoor venue in which we needed sound in three different areas of the property and Robert offered to do a walk-through a month prior to the wedding to put us at ease that all would work out seamlessly. He drove all the way from the East Bay to meet us in Sebastopol, which was above and beyond his call of duty. On the day of the ceremony, everything went off without a hitch. He had all the music lined up that I had sent him ahead of time (ceremony, dinner, wedding party intros, first dances) and when it came time to hit the dance floor, he kept the crowd on their feet for more than 2 hours of great song after another. And last but not least, Robert's pricing is completely reasonable, especially in the wedding industry where felt like we got ripped off by every other vendor. We spent exactly what we wanted to spend for the DJ and it was worth every penny. If you are looking for the best value for the money on your wedding day, count on Robert Casale -- he doesn't disappoint!!

We spoke on the phone several times, and James Steven made many excellent suggestions, helping us to arrive at something appropriate to our personalities, and the character of our relationship. And of course, his playing at the event itself was superb - it added the perfect touch to our ceremony.

We do not recommend this photographer for a wedding event…read more Found Ryan Shiver on Thumbtack. At the beginning Ryan was kind of responsive and easy to work with. We talked about the pricing and what points of interest at the wedding we wanted shots of. I gave him a list of the timeline of photos via the telephone. A basic wedding checklist for photographers. Bride walking down the aisle, Actual ceremony, Bride and Groom with their respective parents, family, etc. On the day of the event he arrived on time. Was friendly and engaging with the guests. Ryan would disappear at certain times. When it was time for the dinner, the DJ announced the Bride and Groom to serve their food. Then the parents, wedding party, etc. etc. Well Ryan was in line right behind the first two parents. The 5th person on line. He was told (as well as the DJ) he was welcome to dinner after all of the guests had served. So that was quite rude and unprofessional for him to be at the head of the line. One of the worst things is his Overcharging us for an extra hour. He stayed at his own will, not approved, and he had the nerve to double charge us. He told us if we didn't pay that charge, we weren't getting the photos. We discussed the charges with him and he went back and forth with bad math. He sent various emails with old information and math errors. Next make sure you have a "printed" list of the shot selections. Ryan was told in our phone conversations what shots we wanted. He never took photos of the Bride and Groom and the Grooms parents. Not a single one. Nor did he take any photos of the Grooms immediate family, etc. Additionally, the ceremony photos were okay. Could have been much better. Ryan must not have taken good notes during our conversations because what was discussed was not included. If you decide to go with this photographer, have everything written. Make sure you keep an eye on him. As I mentioned earlier, he would disappear. When he was done, he just left. Not one word. No one even knew when he left. Book with caution.
