Carol was great. We had a lot of trouble finding a DJ who we liked, because we had a slightly unusual reception (dancing was in a separate room and wasn't a priority to us, but we still wanted a DJ and not just music playing). We had a DJ flat out tell us that he didn't want to work at our wedding, and were delighted at how excited and enthusiastic and eager Carol was about our wedding plans, right from the first meeting!!
I, like many brides, got a bit flustered and stressed pre-wedding, and my plans of carefully planning the music, including play and do not play lists, went out the window. But based on the sheets I filled out for her, she built great song lists that were just what I wanted, and included all of our "must play" songs perfectly. One of my guests told me that she played all of the music that they wanted at THEIR wedding last year.
We had a specific list of pre ceremony songs we wanted, leading up the processional, and she mixed them together so they faded into each other, which was great, and then built the rest of the pre-ceremony music off of that playlist, so it flowed really well. Her system was wonderful, and the wireless mic we used for the ceremony picked everything up really well. Timing was really good, too, and she was flexible - I changed my processional song about three days before the wedding, after having it picked out for months, and I had meant to double check with her prior to the ceremony beginning to make sure it was good to go, but I didn't need to.
Our wedding was a little unusual, because the reception was in three connected rooms, with guests sitting in two and dancing in a third. We also had a lot of interactive food (stations, cake buffet), so eating was a little more action based than it normally was, so we didn't get as much dancing as a normal wedding - maybe three or four songs of dancing after the cake cutting. BUT, we're not big dancers, our family and friends were too busy eating cake, so it wasn't a big deal. But what was impressive to me was how concerned Carol was that no one was dancing - which was completely NOT her fault, it's just that our guests are, well, people who would rather eat cake and drink a cup of coffee and talk to their aunt than hit the dance floor, especially if you had to walk there. She was genuinely concerned that we would be upset that no one was dancing, which I could care less about. We planned to get everyone on the dance floor for the song before the last dance, and then the last dance, and then it was over.
So, basically, she was awesome. Her equipment was discrete and well placed, she has a wonderful voice for announcements, is very nice, very on top of everything and into details. She called me on Friday night because she couldn't find a specific version of a song we had requested, and was willing to get the CD overnighted to her so it could be at our wedding - thankfully, my husband simply had the MP3 and emailed it over to her. Most of all, she really does everything that she can to make sure that you have the perfect wedding. I would highly recommend her.
> Jessie, what a wonderful personalized wedding you had! Loved the Muppets songs for your ceremony! I was smiling throughout! ~ Carol
