We're only giving him 2 stars because if HE (not his kids practicing) had done what we had discussed, things would have been fine.
We used Randy Hartwick, and unfortunately I can't recommend him. Our wedding was used as a trial for his 2 kids to practice DJ'ing a wedding, music had gaps, volume went up and down, our intro was messed up (wrong song played, stopped half way through, started right song, announced names wrong, etc), cake cutting was announced as, "Now it's time to eat the cupcakes." sigh. We knew they were going to be there, we were not aware our entire reception was going to be turned over to them. They were using new equipment that they weren't comfortable with too. Overall, we wish we had just used an ipod, or spoke to more DJ's. We even had to download songs to email him that were current, or popular wedding songs b/c he said he couldn't find them. :( When contacted about our concerns (which were also concerns of everyone who attended as well as our planner) his reply was to deny anything went wrong, that we loved our reception, and he did nothing wrong. Too bad the guests, the video, and the bride and groom say differently. :(
We have GORGEOUS photos that captured every moment of our wedding day thanks to Sherry. She is an amazing photographer who was friendly, professional, super-talented, and most importantly, non-intrusive on our wedding ceremony. She knows how to take beautiful photos on the lake that aren't washed out, and captured our ceremony aboard the Tahoe Bleu Wave beautifully. We were also excited to receive our final, edited photos so quickly. You can't go wrong with Sherry!
Lynne did a fantastic job helping us plan our wedding and finalize details without ever meeting us in person (we had a destination wedding). She was always available to offer advice and suggestions via email and phone calls. On the day of our wedding Lynne did an amazing job decorating our reception venue and keeping our reception in order.
Our only complaint would be the DJ that she found for us, but we don't hold her responsible for how he DJ'd our wedding.
