Farrell,
I just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic evening. You blew our expectations out of the water and guests were talking about how awesome our DJ was for days. It couldn’t have been a better reception. I would gladly recommend you to anyone looking for a DJ/MC for their event.
The guests and Katie and I all noticed smooth the evening went. We heard several “that was the best wedding I have been to in a while.” I know my college buddies (the first table to take you up on the singing for buffet line placement) got a good laugh out of singing to the crowd. They also enjoyed that you helped teach people the electric and cha-cha slide. How you managed to know exactly what the crowd was looking for in songs and song order. (Fast dancing music, then resting to get a drink/breath/break, then back to energy, etc.) For the most part, it was just an overall experience of not having a single “awkward” moment in the whole reception. Something I find seems to be rare in the weddings I go to.
We specifically enjoyed your attention to some of the specifics that the bride and groom might not normally know or have the brain power at that moment to handle. Things like instructing us and our toasters on how things should happen for the toast, cake cutting etiquette, helping the non-dance part of the evening run smoothly (coordinating with the MLL staff on food, toasting, timing of different events, etc.), and then just asking us if we needed anything. You kept it smooth, played the stuff we wanted and still worked in requests that fit well, added some flare to the evening without taking the spot light, jazzed it up without going overboard, etc.
In all, I think you made the reception what it was. Our brains were fried from all of the planning, pictures, events, greeting guests, so it was really nice that everything else was handled perfectly for us by you.
