Musiq Notes

We met Keith, who runs the company, during a tasting at our reception site. We got to see him work a little and talk with him and he was fabulous. The 4 hour package price was super reasonable and we were really excited to have him do our music.

Unfortunately, he was called off to Iraq to fight last minute, and so for our wedding we had a stand in. Our DJ, whose name I cannot remember,was okay, but I feel he was completely out of his comfort zone. He wanted us to give him specific times everything was to happen (ie, we will eat at this time and it will approximate last for 40 min, it will immediately be followed by dancing, which will last for this long, and then cake cutting which will happen at this time, etc.)

Unfortunately for him, this isn't how we work. We throw a party and we go with the flow, not wanting to interrupt people if they are really enjoying themselves to do, say a garter toss.

I give them three stars because he was super annoying, coming up to us every 10 min and asking us what to do and how to do it. I wanted to enjoy my wedding (and I think I even told him at one point that I was trying to enjoy myself and he needed to find my parents, who were paying him, and ask them).

He told us he would only stay for the 4 hours written in the contract, and so he wanted us to try and squeeze everything in (and so eating, the cake cutting, throwing flowers and a garter, and the entirety of dancing would have to happen in 2 hours.)

Luckily, my brother is a music major from UVA and a part time DJ and he offered to take over the second half of the night.
