He understood the sound we were trying to create for our wedding and he made it happen. I know he did because he had all these Boomers out of their seats and cutting a rug on the dance floor.

Our server, Sarah & 3 other team members, brought us drinks & menus. Happy Hour 4-7pm every day. House wines $5., draft beer & mixed drink specials. The offer daily dinner specials - one signature dish every day of the week. Pizza & calzones are popular here. Salads, burgers, wraps, & some Italian dishes are served. We had Irish nachos crispy potato tots with shredded corned beef, Guinness caramelized onions, cheddar & thousand island dressing ($15.99)-enough for 2-4 people. And a chicken Caesar wrap ($10.) served w/ kettle chips & pickle. Both were very good. I hadn't been here in many years. Used to come for the blues music sessions on Sundays awhile back. But I'm here to tell you that their Jambalaya is legit ($17.) But sadly it wasn't available on this Friday or is it every Friday. Forgot to ask. This was my first choice. Next time I'll check before hand. Family friendly. Eat in or takeout. The locals know they have had great pizza for many years.

She was overwhelmed, and so were the chef and bartender. The ground beef was dry on my Ultimate Nachos order. Throwing salsa over it did not help much. The cut of beef was definitely not a Prime or Choice, which are juicier; and I could barely taste the alcohol in my Hennessy Colada. The drink was watered down, lacking flavor. The food and drink in this Albany, NY restaurant rivals NYC prices. For example, it costs $16.99 for 10 wings. I sampled one, and it had a sparse amount of Buffalo sauce. Another example: It cost me $18.99 for the Ultimate Nachos with ground beef, and the beef tasted low grade--not prime or choice. We sat outside on Karaoke night. Maybe that is why our orders took so long. Nevertheless, singers had a lot of fun, and listeners gave some good laughs. Our bill automatically included an 18% gratuity, which is fine, but a verbal warning should have been given. Because of the mediocre food and service, JT Maxie's won't be getting my business again.

They asked customers to plug their own phones into their sound system and to use YouTube as the karaoke "dj". My mom and her boyfriend were waiting for their drinks at least ten minutes every time they went empty. Service was kind but very slow. : ( Also, since we were being asked to use our own phone for those service they were "offering" someone was able to steal the auxiliary cord for my phone in between songs. This kind of experience makes me never want to go back to this place. I really wanted to enjoy it but after the ending of tonight I just can't.

He ended our wedding 15 minutes earlier than we had agreed to and didn't announce us as husband and…read morewife (just our names with no title. He was booked until 10 and ended our wedding at 9:45. He called the last song at 9:42. He also didn't introduce us as husband and wife. I have videos with time stamps to prove all of the above. He announced mother and father of the bride and groom and the rest of the wedding party and then he announced us by just our names which was pretty lackluster in comparison. Just because I didn't take my husband's last name, it doesn't mean that we aren't married. It doesn't mean that we aren't husband and wife. He could have said "now, as husband and wife, Kristen and Aaron!" There was also a misunderstanding when I asked him not to play too many slow songs. He took this to mean no slow songs. TECHNICALLY 0 slow songs is not too many but I wished he had asked what I meant if he was confused. I didn't realize until the end that no slow songs had played. We would have liked 2 or 3. I guess this is partially my fault for not being clearer. He did the ceremony and provided us with microphones at no extra cost, but it doesn't change the fact that he ended our once in a lifetime wedding day early. He said he would never end a wedding without the bride and groom's permission, yet he ended ours early. I promise with every fiber of my being that we would never ask to end our wedding early. After he announced that it was the last song at 9:42, I turned to my husband in front of the DJ booth and said "wait, don't we have him until 10?" DJ Carl suggested that I should have said something to him in the moment while it was happening. I shouldn't have to beg the DJ to stay for the full contracted time that we both signed and agreed to. We already had a million things to worry about that day and I didn't want the confrontation. We didn't want an argument on our wedding day and he had already announced that it was the last song. We waited a year to review because we had just had our wedding and we wanted to take a break from wedding stress and then family things came up and job changes and we were busy for so long. I remembered after our anniversary when we were reflecting on everything. I wish we got the experience that other reviewers got and I'm not sure why we didn't. Did he just not like us? We treated him with nothing but kindness and respect throughout the process and paid for his plate of food and his drinks so that he wouldn't be hungry or thirsty. TRUST ME when I say that we were both VERY aware that he ended the wedding early when it was happening but we didn't want the confrontation because we're both terrified of it. Trust me when I say that we would never forfeit a single minute with our loved ones on our wedding day. What hurts the most him ending our wedding early without our permission is that we can never do that day over. We will never get that day back. We would like 15 minutes more of dancing, laughing, and holding our loved ones on our wedding day. We would be crazy not to.

It's like he was in my head!" You are seriously and beyond a doubt you are by FAR the best DJ I have ever been in the presence of! You blended my wishes seamlessly with my husband; Country, Christian, Rock, Celtic rock... (I am the girl who likes country marrying the man who hates it). I don't think Steve stopped dancing until the reception was over. I think he would have KEPT dancing forever, frankly.... Thank you SO much. You made a magical night even better! Even all of the event Staff from Christ the King said that this was the best music they had EVER had there. Steve was ecstatic at the light show and the glow necklaces and, even though that sounds like a rave, it was still classy, elegant and wonderful. Your energy is electric and wonderful and we can't thank you enough. You truly helped to make a memorable night even more amazing for everyone-- our guests being happy on the happiest day of our lives meant the world to us and you delivered in full force. Sincerely, Anna and Stephen Rogers
