A Lesson To Be Learned
I came across this blog post of a bride’s experience with a DJ company that promised her everything the “pros” offered – but at half the price!

Wedding Music And Songs
M.I.A DJ!!!
Access to every song ever recorded!
5 hours on continues music
Reliable, powerfull,state-of-the-art equipment
2 powered 15 inch Speakers
2 wireless microphones
Intelligent lighting & Special effects
The only downfall is..either we can have him play off the crowd and play what he wants OR we can give him an ipod with all the songs we want played (since we never heard him dj before). Me & my FH agree that we should put the songs we want on an ipod. I give the hubby the green light. Paid through paypal..so the payment is secure.
After we send him the deposit..he stops returning my emails. I emailed him asking to meet in person..no response. Ok..I CALL HIM. he says “oh..for the price that you paid for the package..its isn’t budget friendly for us to meet in person” HUH?? WTF?? so I say..ok..what if WE COME to YOUR city and we meet at a coffee shop. Again he says..”for this package, we usually don’t set aside time to meet our customers”. He is rubbing me the wrong way. I try to get off the phone and tell him..i will speak with my FH to see if he still wants to go forward, or receive a refund. He says..well what is it that you want to know..or need clarification on. I ask about the lighting and he tells me that the lighting isn’t included but we can add it on for $149..umm well it says something listed on the website MR!! Whatever..i’m done..i’ll let my FH handle it. He tells my FH something COMPLETELY different. The lighting included in the package is a small multi colored disco ball..not enough to do any effects (he told me it was uplighting to go around the room). He says that he has clean version of songs (he told me that if they song uses curse words we should not include it because they dnt have very many song).
Uggghh! I’m sick of this guy! I want to go with another company..but with less than 3 months to go and our wedding being in the “peak” wedding season my FH doesn’t think we will be able to find someone else, especially since everybody quoted us $1,000. *sigh*
