Our DJ was Steve Liggett with Complete Music, and I thought he handled our wedding reception VERY well. The reasons I'm giving this vendor a "non-A" grade are relatively picky. There were some songs that were noticeably skipping during dinner...enough to where the busy bride & groom noticed. He also announced that he'd take requests, which I was sure I'd said not to do in my paperwork, but the only song I was relatively annoyed at was the Chicken Dance, which my own darn father requested, so....but by then, everyone had been drinking and had a good time, so it's all good. He handled our "Shoe Game" FLAWLESSLY and people are still talking about how much fun they thought that was. The lights were fun, and he played a great mixture of slow songs and fast songs and group dance songs. I'm not giving the actual company a B+ b/c overall I thought they were extremely pushy until they got my money and then MIA until I bitched about them on the Knot 2 weeks before my wedding about not getting back to me. I don't recommend using a DJ factory like this, if you can help it.
I found out that my DJ made some a-hole comments when my brothers requested that he play "Sweet Caroline" for us since we're Red Sox fans. Apparently, Steve wasn't too keen on that, but not because we said no requests. I've been told that his response was something like, "Oh sure b/c I've got all night," or "I'm only paid to XX time," or something else completely inappropriate. I was also told that when my 8-year old niece asked him for something he said "I'll see if I can find it" and didn't even really acknowledge her.
We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and we had the BEST time. They gave us our honeymoon "Just Married" buttons at check-in, and they were so fun to wear on the trip (along with our bride & groom Mickey & Minnie ears). We got "Congratulations" shouted to us from all sides wherever we went! We were given front row seats on rides, free chocolate chip cookies, and had characters point us out, hug, and wave to us during parades!! It was SO fun. The hotel was AMAZING. We had a room with a Savannah View, and we could sit on our own deck and watch Giraffes and other wildlife as close as 100 yards away or less. We went to the spa on our first day and each had an hour long massage as a treat to ourselves, but upon checking out noticed that they gave them to us for free because we were on our honeymoon! Pretty amazing huh?? I HIGHLY recommend Disney World as a honeymoon option and the Animal Kingdom Lodge as a resort, especially to anyone who may still be a bit of a kid at heart. :)
Grade: Best Decision Other Than The Groom. I can't even give Lynn and her awesome crew (Vivie and Nancy) an actual letter grade, because they transcend awesome. From day one, first contact, I loved Lynn. She came to my bridal shower so she could get to know me (since I planned from Boston) and did engagement pics for us the week before the wedding so she could get to know Michael, and us as a couple. My bridals were AMAZING and I've never felt prettier! Lynn, Vivian, and Nancy were such a perfect fit with us and our personalities. My family is STILL talking about how awesome they were at the wedding and reception. Also, I've had the pleasure of becoming close to Lynn as a friend during this process, which only enhanced the experience.
