*Warning! If you have a large venue or a multi-level venue make sure your DJ knows to use the vendors microphone when making annoucements. We had our reception on a riverboat from Stillwater Riverboats and everything was amazing, except for the DJ services. When booking I knew we had 4 levels and I wanted to make sure the DJ was aware of this and that they would be able to make annoucements that the whole boat would hear. I was told that yes that had done receptions on the boat before and they knew to use the vendor microphone. Well, flashforward to our reception and our DJ not only didn't use the vendor microphone but chose not to use it because "it wasn't as good of quality as hers" which meant that unless you were within 20 feet of the dance floor you had no idea when the first dance, garter toss, etc. were happening. My own mother ended up missing our first dance and father-daughter dance because the DJ refused to use the vendor microphone. My photographer and the manager on the boat even approached her and asked her to use it and still she did not. It was incredibly disappointing espessially since the reviews and ratings for Bellagala were so high and then to have a staff memeber that didn't live up to this was disheartening. We were told point blank that yes everyone would hear annoucements and she failed that make that happen. On top of all of this she was looking through our emails to find which songs we wanted played and had my now husband review songs before the mother-son dance because she was unsure of what song needed to be played even though we had sent the information earlier that week. Incredibly disappointing for such a highly reputable company. We were given a partial refund but it doesn't make up for my mother missing out on some amazing wedding moments. I would not recomend the company but if you do decide to go with them make sure they understand that they vendor microphone needs to be used.
