Our kids are the age that most of their friends are getting married so we've been to a lot of weddings lately. When our daughter Meghan announced she was getting married I called our friends to ask who they recommended since they had just been through this. One of our friends had a really awful experience at their wedding and reception and I didn't want to repeat it. They went with a small company, 3 or 4 dj's that was run out of this guys garage. The day of the wedding the dj was late so there wasn't any music as guests arrived at the church, just awkward silence, at the reception the equipment broke down and the dj made announcements with his mouth full - full of the dinner our friends paid for! On top of all that they had asked NOT to have the chicken dance and he played it. He also didn't have most of the music they had requested, it wasn't in his "thousands" of songs. She told me to talk to another friend of ours and I did. I remembered their reception and how much fun we'd had. They told me about Sounds Unlimited and how we'd be listened to, and they would do what we wanted to be done. Sure enough they did. They were set up in plenty of time before our guests arrived at the church and were also set up at the reception and ready to go when our guests arrived. The music was perfect! They had all the songs Meghan wanted and made sure the ones we didn't want played (chicken dance, macarena) weren't played no matter how much people begged them to, and they were really nice about telling them no. But what I really appreciated was knowing I could call their office and talk to someone who knew about our wedding and understood it needed to be perfect, that this is a once in a lifetime thing. When we arrived at the church the dj was there,set to go and the same at the reception. The MC called out family members to the dance floor until the floor was packed and it stayed pack all night. They were great! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Pros: Ready ahead of time, listened to us, polite, kept people dancing
Cons: Offered them dinner since they did such a good job and they said no, they didn't have time
