Best Of The Best DJ’s

We booked Steve Scott from Best of the Best DJs for our wedding reception because he was on the «recommended vendors list» at our reception location. Unfortunately, he was the worst part of our wedding reception. We wanted to meet with him a few months before the wedding to go over the schedule and events for the day, but he refused and said we could do everything by email. So I emailed him what time each event was happening (cake cutting, first dance, etc) and what song went with that event. When we arrived on our wedding day, he pulled us to the side to ask us what we wanted him to do. This happened throughout the night even though he had the print out of the schedule I had emailed him. Then he played some of our special event songs as regular background music before the event was ready, causing us to skip some of what we had planned. He allowed us 20 total special request songs and then played less than half of what we had requested. When our guests (including both of our mothers) requested songs, he refused to play them. This caused us to spend a lot of time «managing» the DJ and asking him to play songs our guests wanted when we should have just been able to enjoy the music. The first two hours of our reception was spent trying to get Steve to figure out what dance music to play. Almost all of the guests we talked to after our reception said how great our wedding was «except for the DJ». We deeply regretted hiring Best of the Best for our special day.

Do not book them unless you have it guaranteed that the owner, steve, will be your DJ. not another Steve, who does absolutely NOTHING for your reception. While he played good music, he did NOTHING to move our reception along. He barely spoke on the microphone. He was not watching to make sure our grand entrance worked. he didn’t even announce us. He brought a microphone and sound system that made it impossible for toasts. I was so looking forward to using this company. I planned on booking another one until I talked to the owner and he told me about his DJ style and how many weddings he had done, and so on. He had a personal tragedy that weekend and was unable to work, but his replacement was terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Yikes! Unfortunately, our DJ was the one and only AWFUL thing about our wedding. We were so displeased with DJ Steve (yes, the owner) I couldn’t believe it– even with the 5 star reviews on The Knot and the positive video testimonials.
We had a small, intimate wedding but Steve DJ-​ed like he was at a club. A lot of shouting, a lot of aggressive remarks, it just made us all uncomfortable and not what we were expecting. As a DJ, you should feel our your crowd to see what type of audience it is… that didn’t happen.
— When asked if we can meet with Steve before the wedding, his assistant said he’s a pro and hasn’t met with a couple in over 10 years, so we didn’t meet with him. Wish we could have, because it would’ve been clear our personalities didn’t mesh.
— We filled out four repetitive papers regarding our music taste and wedding reception timeline. We also spoke with Steve a week or two before the wedding to review everything. All of this was disregarded the night of our reception. As we arrived to our reception venue, Steve pulled us aside to ask what the timeline would be, would we be doing a bouquet toss, etc. He was jotting down handwritten notes on his papers, but these questions had all been answered previously.
— Steve would say remarks that made our guests feel bad/​guilty for not dancing, which it should’ve been clear he wasn’t playing good music. «YOU will make MEMORIES for the bride and groom if you dance and also if you don’t dance. AGAIN, I REPEAT, YOU will be MAKING MEMORIES if you dance»… or «I still see some people sitting down over there… COME DANCE!» Either take a hint that people are enjoying conversation with their families, or play better music to get people to dance! Don’t shout at them and make them feel guilty!
— His music shut off at least 4 – 5 times and his response was a look on his face like he didn’t know how to fix it.
— There was a song played that had a tambourine in it… Steve played that part of the song longer and brought out two of his own tambourines and shook them in front of the stage for what felt like 2 minutes. Is this a circus?
— He played music we specifically asked him not to play.
— When we didn’t smear cake over each other at our cake cutting, Steve shouted into the mic and asked our guests «Who wants them to do that again!!!» Aggressive!
— He realized at the event that he didn’t have some of the music we requested (i.e. our last dance song) so he picked his own song and followed it up with the Warner Bros «That’s All Folks» clip… SO TACKY! And something he should’ve seen beforehand and told us to pick another song.
— At the end of the reception, he hounded me and the groom to fill our a survey so he can win an award. He also emailed us twice on our honeymoon saying «Sorry to bug while you’re on your honeymoon, but we’re up for this award…»
Spend your money elsewhere and DO NOT book this DJ. And I’m sure DJ Steve will reply to this note and say «We can only be as fun as your guests allow us to be…» but take accountability for your poor reviews and make a change. People were uncomfortable with your antics.

im not one to complain but DJ Steve SUCKED… as a regular dj he knew how to keep the music going but for a family/​wedding that likes newer club (turn up) music he did not do well. he nagged us for 3 weeks to compose a list of songs and once we sent it to him on the day of our wedding only two. that’s right 2 songs from our whole list of at least 200 songs were played the whole reception. many of our family and guest started to leave 2 hours before the reception was over because nobody was feeling the music. he completely ruined our wedding reception.
THANKS FOR RUINING OUR SPECIAL DAY…
if you like newer party music then PLEASE do not waste your money.

I was so shocked at how everything was perfect! These guys made my entire wedding party, guests, husband, and I have one of the best nights of our lives!!! I highly recommend!
