We were severely disappointed with our DJ Matt. He called a week ahead of time and stumbled through all the information and did not exude a strong DJ personality. He made sure to mention the tip envelope Midwest provides and suggested how much we should tip him before the reception and then he made sure to mention it when we showed up for the start of the reception.
The first problem occurred when I had to take time out of our cocktail hour and talking to people to re-go over the lineup of our wedding party for the grand march since he had it all messed up - not something the bride should have to worry about. Then he played the WRONG song for the march! I was afraid he would play the wrong first dance song so I had to confirm that he was confident he was going to play the right one. He did not play the majority of the songs we worked so hard on in our Music Planner. We heard a lot of feedback that the songs he played were too slow and he didn't engage people at the beginning. He didn't interact with the crowd. It was his job to follow our timeline, starting with the first dance. We had lost track of time because we were busy talking to people and it was his job to coordinate the timing we had gone over to have the first dance at a certain time. He approached me 45 minutes later and asked if we wanted to do our first dance. He barely announced it, so very few people were watching. He got better at the end of the night because everyone was going straight up to him and telling him exactly which songs to play -- we would have been better off getting an iPod and playing it straight off of that. Sorely disappointed and would never recommend Midwest Sound.
