Whatcom Sound

All I can say is that we had a great time at our wedding reception and it was the DJ from Whatcom Sound that made it happen!! We had a large variety of people at the wedding from Grandparents to newborns and the DJ had the dance floor filled all night. Everyone was telling me how much they loved the music. The DJ helped make the reception flow smoothly and was extremely engaging with the crowd. I can?t say enough good things about Whatcom Sound and the professionalism they showed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ with a great music selection!! Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!! Erica Johnson Pros: Professional and engaging with a great music selection Cons: None more

I can't tell you how glad I am for hiring these guys for my wedding this February, I couldn't have dreamed for a better reception. Paxton and his Djs were so eager to make sure everything was just how my Husband and I wanted, it was almost overwhelming. You just don't find service like that anymore these days. Thanks Again! Pros: Excellent performance and communication Cons: I can't think of anyway they could have been more perfect! more

I read the disgruntled comment below and I don?t see where they are coming from on their review. I have known Paxton and Whatcom Sound for several years. I have attended several events that they have put on and they are one of the best sound companies in Whatcom County. Not only is Whatcom Sound extremely professional, but they are extremely honest. What ever you are quoted upfront is exactly what you will get. There are no hidden fees or switch and bait services. I would happily hire Whatcom Sound to DJ my personal wedding or any other event. more

Eric & Lindsay 8/2/08 at Semiahmoo.We always have signed contracts with retainers, I will show anybody the signature by Lindsay dated 2/27/08 The song list provided was played while guests were being seated as instructed by the bride---The bridal party may have been in the back preparing to come out for the ceremony and may have not heard it After spending hours getting the large list of there music ,why would we not play it? It makes our job easier! Let me tell you about the ?HOMEMADE DVD? I can tell you that our company provided the projector and screen,Nothing else was charged for to play their HOMEMADE DVD. We did not get the DVD until we were on site. I had no idea on what format it was created on and by whom. Oh the audio part, they forgot to mention that the wedding coordinator they hired told us to set the video screen and projector at the other side of the tent, over 150ft away from the sound system, she also told us to play music that would be suitable, during the DVD. Oh ya nobody told us there was audio on the dvd!If we had been able to put the screen up were we suggested near the sound system, we would have been happy to play the audio!! Why wouldn?t we? they forgot to mention that we had 2 Dj?s there. The other Dj that was there was in his 30?s and has many years of experience, but I didn?t charge for that either, so if I had ?spread myself to thin? why did we have 2 Dj?s at their event? What he didn?t tell ya was they went for 2 hours of overtime then my Dj gave them a 50% discount on the overtime! Semiahmoo security was called because some guests were physically threatening my dj?s because of the problems with their DVD. I let my dj?s decide if they wanted to stay, I think they had every right to leave after being threatened, but they chose to stay and had a great party!I guess 2 extra hours of dancing and partying past the contract end time?was worth a full refund from other vendors? I don?t understand,DO YOU? Paxton Rembert owner 360-303-0888 Pros: Very easy to work with great party and two hours ot for half off Cons: Alcohol and guests don't always go well--- more

Hello All, I am not one to write to this type of forum but I feel strongly enought to share my experience with Whatcom Sound. Where to start... DONT HIRE THEM! The first thing that should have tipped me off was the fact that the company wanted money up front with no sort of contract... correct me if I am wrong but usually you will give the company money after or during the contract has been signed. Not in this case, they refused to send a contract unless they had a deposit ($500 of which the total became 1400) Moving along from that... My wife and I spent a long amount of time trying to put together a playlist which partially was played, most songs were simply left out. We brought a homemade dvd to play during the reception and for some unknown reason the dj could not get the sound to play... You are a dj are you not suppose to be in charge of the sound. The dj we had was all of 18 years old (I later found out that Whatcom Sound spread themselves too thin whith their bookings that the had to hire this kid), he then proceeded to repeat throught the night. Lastly the Owner of the company was completely unaccomodating when we asked for a portion of the money back. I know the whole wedding thing is a scam... luckely enough this did not ruin the wedding but in no shape or form was it worth the money. Beware, its hard to put your trust in something that you can physically purchase like a DJ but this is not the one for you. Pros: they showed up? Cons: substandard quality and performance more
