| - I've thought a lot about how to write this review. B Kuhl, as a business, is good. Unfortunately, we didn't get Josh (the owner) as our DJ, & had Ted who was not up to snuff.
B Kuhl was my first DJ choice, but were out of my budget. So I went with choice number 2, then 8 weeks before my wedding I contacted Josh after the DJ I thought I had booked went AWOL. Josh gave us an AMAZING deal and let us know that while he had a prior booking on our date, he would be sending one of his other DJs. I was super relieved. From everything he said & reviews I'd read all over, I felt 100% confident. The week of the wedding, Josh met with my fiance & I and we gave him certain info including our Must Play & No Play list. This was in addition to going over a contract again and verifying that we wanted NO line dances or theme dances (hokey pokey, macarena, or similar) played. I LOVED that Josh has this as a box to tick on the contract - though we also detailed this on the No Play list.
We arrived to the cocktail hour to see the DJ, Ted, still setting up in the main dancing area (even though he had presumably been there over an hour). This was weird, I thought, but moved on to cocktails and enjoyed that the right tunes were playing (I had asked for a certain mix of songs during cocktails and dinner). Before dinner, he apologized that the speakers in the dining area weren't working right and we'd have to have the faintness of music from the dancing area..and then kept working - loudly - on the speakers: plugging, unplugging (pop pop pop) and "check check check"ing throughout dinner. These speakers were next to OUR PARENTS. Not cool!
Dancing time. We requested a lot of oldies type stuff to begin. He started 3 or 4 songs only to cold drop them partway. Confusing when you're trying to dance & not fun. Later, 3 songs in.a.row. (of the cheesy line dance variety) from our No Play list. 1 was annoying. 2 was angering. The 3rd started & I made a beeline to the DJ station and pointed this out firmly - Ted got defensive when I noted they were from the No Play list and said "no they're not". The list was IN FRONT OF HIM. Even if he had felt that I was in the wrong, this is no way to respond to the person who is signing the check at the end of the night. Other things from our No Play list (such as: please no break up songs) were played. The intro bit to the bouquet toss was the song I asked not to be played. It just was a bit of a mess. A lot from our Must Play never got played as well. The volume was often loud (it varied) which upset Mom. All in all, we had a fun night. Lights were very good . But Ted didn't pay attention to our contract OR our lists. :( It could've been great if he had.
Josh, as a business owner, is excellent to work with. And from what I've read online and also from people I've talked to, he's a great DJ. It's just too bad he sent someone who was not as detail-oriented or customer-focused as he himself is.
