Gene recently DJ'd our wedding for 175 guests. Everyone had an amazing time. He played all of the…read moresongs I had requested and was able to fine tune many of the other musical selections based off of what I had given him! Our musical taste is a bit alternative and obscure but he played a variety and kept every guest at our wedding happy and dancing while still including some of the more off-beat songs. Gene was excellent at guiding the reception. He coordinated the toasts, excused tables for the buffet line, and made announcements for all the events that go on during a wedding reception. He checked in with us throughout the night to be sure we were ready for whatever event came next, and respected when we needed more time before we were ready for the first dance, or whatever it was. I read a previous review that said Gene was difficult to work with, and contacted the bride too much that day. This was not at all my experience and in fact I found him really easy to work with the day of the wedding. I had a day of coordinator (highly recommend getting one especially if you're a DIY kind of bride!!!) and he worked seamlessly with her to set up and keep the day running smoothly. If there were issues, I didn't know about them. Additionally, he snapped some photos throughout the night which were a nice addition. All in all Gene was an amazing DJ. Our family and friends have mentioned several times how fun he was and what a great time they had. If you want to have a great dance party and want a DJ who brings the hype then Gene is a great choice.

Our guests all had a blast. They never had any problems or worries. They partied hard all night and…read moreloved the music! Gene took requests that were a bit obscure or hard at times, and boom, he had them. He was there on time, there until the very end, and played our music. I've heard stories of DJ's of losing music. Sad! But not our case thankfully. Coming from the perspective of bride and groom however, it was pretty stressful working with Gene. We provided music for the ceremony and dancing. I provided a detailed list of instructions for the ceremony. We had to have 3 different conversations to make sure he got it down right. Then, during the ceremony, he didn't play the bridal March until I was pretty much at the alter. Cool. About 1/2 of our requested play list was played. Maybe this is cuz a lot of guests made requests. If so that's great! If not who knows. We didn't get the few songs we asked to have played during dinner get played. He had a very well put together playlist for dinner. Very low key, easy listening. Not bad at all! It sucked we didn't get any of our stuff added to it. Grateful Dead isn't exactly normal requests, but neither was most of our music, and it's easier to listen to during dinner then to try and dance too. When we said NO other toasts aside from the best man and maid of honor, we meant that. In steps dad- with a toast. We specifically said no toasts because of family! I can appreciate it being hard to say no to family, but it was our request. It should've been respected. When you go over the family to introduce and how, and it's written down, it seems pretty straight forward. So it was SUPER irritating AF when he approached me to ask "I just met Sandy. Should I introduce her too?" Why yes. You should. She's my mother. And first on that list we made together. Where's the list you ask? Right in hand, with Sandy listed at the very top. Hmmm.... When you get texted left and right an hour before the ceremony to say you've got shit to do and no where do it and no idea how to set it up, that's annoying AF. Maybe instead of interrupting the bride and groom hours before their Special moment you could reach out to a groomsmen, owner of venue, worker of the venue that's right there next you. Just a thought though. I know it a new venue for you, but that forethought and consideration would've been nice. We met with Gene twice before the wedding to discuss what we wanted and how we wanted it. It seemed to be hard for Gene to except the fact that we are very nontraditional. No cake cutting. No father daughter dance. Mother daughter dance was novel to him, but he seemed ok with it. How we wanted our reception to go was not traditional, and clearly a bit difficult for him to grasp and be on with. And interspersed thought all of our conversations were his stories of how wonderful his previous weddings had gone, how much people loved him, and he really hoped to get a thank you card from us as well after everything was over. He didn't seem thrilled we wanted him longer then his standard set hours, even though we didn't balk at the additional pricing past his regular packaging. He even told us three separate times he didn't think we'd need him until 10pm for partying. To which I replied every time "Our guests play hard. We will go until 10." I'm no bridezilla. I was super chill about almost everything. But when there's a pattern set regarding standards, following requests, and still getting paid well for it, I got pretty pissed. So be careful. If you've got a low key super straight forward traditional wedding with everything easily accessible and ready at all times for him- and someone to hold his hand- he may work out great for you. I regret not asking my friends to be our DJ though. It was easy enough requests they could've done it. Bottom line: he seemed very ill prepared for the whole thing. We asked twice if we wanted to be at the rehearsal to help, and he said no. So take what we say to heart. And PM me if you've got questions.

We had hip-hop, rap, cumbia's, reggaetón, top 40's, Spanish rock, and everything else I requested. It was mixed beautifully and just flowed one song into another all night. He was great in keeping us on schedule all night. Even when our wedding reception got completely out of control and the fire alarm went off at the Ashland Springs Hotel, David did not miss a beat and continued to keep the party going. Even if it was a real fire (thank god it wasn't!) and the hotel might of been burnt down, David and his equipment would still be standing pumping music! Everyone at our wedding complimented us on how well balanced the night was with music. His set up was top notch with lights, music, and fog. There was never a dull moment and did not have any technical difficulties. We highly recommend David for all your musical needs for your special occasions. David, thank you for helping make our wedding an event we will always cherish and remember.

Kali appears very patient yet talented (as you can see from her portfolio). She also comes off as very flexible - we particularly liked one of the photos (which has a vintage treatment). She explained to us that although she had not done an entire wedding in that style, she could and it's also her preferred style. In addition, when we share with her our ceremony location, she told us she had taken photos there (which is not a must have but a definite plus). She says she will send them to us for review. All in all, Kali seems very easy going and flexible. After speaking to a few photographers, we realize that it's not just about picking talents but also personality that somehow can work with ours since you must feel comfortable working with them on arguably the most important day of your life! We didn't up picking Kali but I'm positive she would be great to work with.

Their roughly two acre garden is full of beautiful flowers and trees (see the pictures!) and the perfect escape from city life. It's paradise and I highly recommend anyone to stay there who is looking for a beautiful getaway near Ashland and its surrounding areas. The owner's, Annette and Brian, are wonderful hosts and pour their heart and soul into the place. They are extremely friendly and their hospitable touches are everywhere. The spacious studio, which is actually more like a one bedroom, is nicely arranged with books, local information, and decorations. They provide all the morning necessities like coffee, tea, and breakfast food. You'll feel right at home! On the property, there is also a very quaint wine tasting room that is leased by the winery adjacent to their property called Pebblestone Winery. The wine is very good, but it's the setting and hospitality that will make your trip memorable. Apparently, they can host weddings, a wondeful place for a special event. Wisteria is perfectly located to reach the surrounding area. It's an easy 10 minute drive to downtown Ashland. The drive to historic Jacksonville is about 15 minutes drive through some amazing, rolling vineyards. My only regret about writing this review is letting my secret out. I'm sure next time I go I will need to book months in advance.
