Prolific DJ

David is great. He was my DJ for my high school graduation and will hopefully be my DJ at my wedding. We hire him for all of our DJ needs.

We booked Prolific after meeting with David, who I think is the owner. He was friendly and professional, but unfortunately was not available for our wedding day. Instead, we booked another DJ from the same company, whose name was Vince. We had never met Vince before, which I think was our first mistake.
We chose Prolific DJ because they have an awesome music selection that far surpasses the selection of the other DJs we looked at. This was important to us because our music taste clashes with most typical wedding music. We were excited by the idea that we could choose all of the music that would be playing at our wedding, so we could make sure it suited our style and personalities. We spent a pretty long time making up the list that we assumed Vince would be playing at the wedding. The website itself could be better, but overall is pretty convenient.
On the day of the wedding, Vince showed up on time and set up the equipment the way we planned. Through the cocktail hour and most of dinner, he did great, playing exactly what we had requested. Then, I’m not sure what happened, but all of a sudden he switched to his «Top 40s Music for all Weddings» playlist and left it for the rest of the night. His personality wasn’t right for being a DJ — he was too quiet to hear and he wasn’t enthusiastic at all. The best man and bridesmaids ended up doing a better job getting people on the dance floor than he did. I think we would have been better off using my iPod and saving some money.
Although David didn’t DJ our wedding, I feel confident that he would have done a better job, so I’m hesitant to target this review at the whole company. But the DJ we did have was not great. Also, for people who are less picky about music, Vince would probably be a fine choice for a decent price.
