Definitely don't use Freddie James DJ service. Thank goodness we had a list and a produced wedding otherwise god knows what would have happened. Freddie James told us he would be our DJ. We met with him and gave him a rundown of events. He seemed to understand everything. Then he sends backs the rundown and it is changed. Then I can't get a hold of him, then he gives the excuse that he was so busy with 7-7-7. Which is not an excuse. Then he finally calls us 2 days before the wedding trying to go over everything and it's a mess, then Freddie raises his voice at me saying ""that is not how we do things'. My reaction is that I'm paying you, you will do what I want. (I think it was because they actually had to follow a list and gather up the songs we wanted, and that takes work.)\r
So I'm thinking he got it. So Saturday comes around, and HE NEVER SHOWS, but some weird guy shows up with a toupe. He never gets the crowd going, very drab.. He started playing everything correctly but then towards the middle of the night, cd's start skipping, and he doesn't change them, then starts playing his own terrible songs. (more than likely because he didn't have a lot of our songs). I also gave a cd, and never got the cd back. Freddie James will never call you after they do their job to find how things went, because they know it doesn't go good. So BRIDES & GROOMS, here's some advice, pick out every one of your songs and put it in an order, PRODUCE IT, make these DJ'S work, because if they don't they'll play their stupid songs you hear at every wedding and their dumb mixes they think everyone likes. Think about it... $750 + for 6 hours of playing THEIR FAVORITE TUNES.. MAKE THEM WORK AND DO IT YOUR WAY. As for FREDDIE JAMES DJ'S, YOU GOT YOUR MONEY FROM US, BUT THIS REVIEW WILL BE HERE FOREVER! TOO BAD YOU DIDN'T CALL FOR A FOLLOWUP--- And I'll even sign my name. JOYCE KLEVINS/WEDDING 7-14-07\r
