WORST DJ COMPANY EVER. So we hired them for our recent wedding and initially had a great experience. They communicated well and everything seemed fine AT FIRST. 4 days before the wedding, a DJ contacted me asking when a good time to call was. We arranged for 1030am the next day. By 1130am I hadn't heard from him so I texted him. He immediately called back, sounded like he just got out of bed and said he was on another call. Not feeling this was professional or appropriate to not let me know that the plans had changed, I called Midwest Sound and asked for a new DJ. By the next afternoon (2 days before the wedding) i still hadn't heard anything so I called them. They said a new DJ would be calling. I spoke with him, he seemed fine, we had 3 requests for the wedding so it wasn't complicated. ONE HOUR before I walked down the aisle, the company called and said the second DJ had a family emergency and they would have to give us a third DJ. There was nothing we could do and they said it would be covered so I let it go. We got to the reception and there is a DJ there so I check in with him, make sure he understood our 3 song requests. He said that he did and then asked the groom and myself what our astrological signs were.....i still have no idea why he wanted to know, but he actually asked us several more times during the evening which was weird to say the least. We have dinner and he is suppose to announce the speeches. We are waiting for this to happen and then realize.....and he is gone. No one can find him. Our caterer had to look for him. Myself and my bridesmaids were looking all over our venue. He claims he was gone for 5 minutes, which is a lie because we waited around for at least 25 minutes and that was after we noticed he had left. He finally returns after he said he had to go get batteries for the Mic. How are you a DJ company and you don't bring batteries for the microphone???? When he announced the speeches, we couldn't understand anything he was saying and when we informed him that he wasnt being clear, he said he was nervous. He was totally unprepared and unprofessional. I understand that he was called in last minute and when I called the company to ask how they were going to rectify the situation, they blamed me for everything. They said it was my choice to fire the first DJ, however they acknowledged that it was unprofessional to just not call at the scheduled time. They claim that the third DJ felt "like less of a man because we were all upset that he just left the venue without telling anyone. They offered us a $150 compensation which was nowhere near the amount to cover the stress that this produced. We will NEVER hire them again and we will tell everyone to spare themselves a lot of time and tears and go with another DJ company.
