This company was a major nightmare. They were difficult to contact, the DJ refused to have any contact with us until the week of the event (like we had nothing else going on that week than to deal with the DJ!), and the office didn't communicate our needs and our increasing level of anxiety to the DJ. When the DJ finally contacted us (two days after I was PROMISED that we would be contacted) he had no idea what had been discussed with the office. Going over the song list was time consuming. We had been told that there were songs that we could bring on disk, but that if they were listed the DJ would try to find them and get them onto his system. This never happened. On the day of our wedding, the setup went fairly smoothly, so they get one star. After that, it was all downhill. The song that I walked to (I am the groom) was played at 3/4 speed. It was like listening to a 45 RPM vinyl single being played at 33 RPM. I was humiliated! People were laughing at me on my wedding day! Next, during dinner, when we had requested light background music, the DJ was playing way too upbeat music WITH THE DAMN DISCO LIGHTS GOING!!! Then he spun a bunch of songs that he had SPECIFICALLY requested NOT to be played. In all, this was a nightmare. Avoid like the plague!!!
Pros: the setup was smooth
Cons: everything else

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
