Boston Entertainment Company

Ross Cigna was the DJ at our wedding in 2007. At the end of the day, he did a fine job in the sense that the guests had a great time and no one would know anything was amiss (well, except for those people who tried to request songs, as you’ll see below). However, Ross brought not just his music equipment but also his huge ego to the party, and rubbed me wrong about eight ways to Sunday.
1. When we first interviewed Ross, he let us know about his stellar client list (I remember the Sox were on the list). Ok, he’s in sales mode. Once we hired him, he continually reminded us of his experience and client list. It was like he thought the Sox gave him carte blanche to veto our requests.
2. As the wedding party was preparing to enter the room to be announced, Ross came to ask how everyone’s name was pronounced. Someone offered a mneumonic for theirs, and he snottily reminded this person that he is a professional THANK YOU and does not need help with the name. (To his credit, he DID pronounce all the names correctly.)
3. Our cake cutting song was «Sweet Caroline.» We cut the cake and everyone was singing along and cheering when Ross decided to cut the song short. BOO. Is he some kind of Yankees fan?
4. Ross also cut «Shout» short. This is a wedding tradition in my husband’s family so there were some pretty sad pandas about this.
5. Ross denied almost all song requests. You will never guess how he justified it. That’s right, he’s a professional and he knows what songs to play, not YOU, wedding guest. A few wedding guests mentioned this during the reception to me or my parents, so I was aware of it during the party.
6. Toward the end of the reception, Ross approached my husband for payment. This is despite having dealt with my parents for all business transactions prior. My husband was annoyed that one of the vendors interrupted him at his own wedding when we’d tried to carefully plan details so we could fully enjoy the night.
7. We gave Ross a short list of must-​play songs but discovered that they did not fully overlap with the Super Professional DJed at the Wang Center master list.
OK, that’s seven, not eight. And like I said, we did have a good time and dance our asses off. That said, I would neither rehire Ross nor recommend him because he made me feel like the music was about him showing off his talent, not us expressing our personality as a couple and our wishes for our big party.

Note: If I could have given ZERO stars, I would have.
I would never wish upon any woman to have to go through this on their wedding day~ My husband and I hired Ross Cigna (Boston Entertainment Company) as our DJ for our 220+ wedding reception. I cannot even begin as to how horrible and unprofessional he was! He failed to provide services requested for our wedding due to «equipment failure» — We weren’t able to have any of our songs from the list we gave him played at all. And our first dance and dances with our parents were played from our friend’s iPod TWO HOURS LATER than scheduled. Because Ross was clearly unable to provide services requested, we asked that he leave. And our wedding coordinator brought in another DJ (which by that point more than half the guests had left). Ross made a scene and yelled at both my brother-​in-​law and husband!
After we got back from our honeymoon, my husband attempted to call and ask for our money back. Ross not only refused but was rude about it (not a complete shock since he was rude throughout our wedding in front of our guests) as if he had any right!
My advise is to NOT USE THIS MAN OR HIS COMPANY unless you want to worry about how unreliable he will be and whether or not he will remember to bring good manners to your wedding.
To sum it all up, he is very UNPROFESSIONAL (which is unexcusable) and UNWILLING to accomodate the bride and groom in every way.

We had Ross Cigna as the DJ at our small wedding reception at the Museum of Science Boston. He did a great job with selecting and mixing songs for the dance portion of our reception. Overall, though, we felt like he didn’t do a very good job at MCing or making our reception very personalized (for example, we asked him to play classical music during dinner, and he played some jazz). We had had an awesome DJ at our earlier reception on the West Coast, so we were a little disappointed. He was also hard to get a hold of before our reception. He was an OK Dj, but not great.
