Recent Feedback from Christian's Events and Clients
The (A DJ Connection) school dance video sold us. We put most of our decorating
budget into the DJ's. We wanted the best prom ever and not the same old "joke
of a prom" and we thought that this was the way to get the club feeling that we
were looking for. Boy, did this ever exceed our expectations.
"Hands down- we loved. All of our guest and family loved the reception.
Without Christian, we would not have had the best party of our lives! My
husband's father never dances- he was boogyin on the dance the majority of the
night! Thank you so much!!" "I have worked with different DJs from A DJ Connection when I was the
Event Manager at Scenic Hills Country Club and no matter who the DJ, the event
always went great. They were always on time, always professional and always kept
the receptions lively and fun. I know when I book A DJ Connection that I have no
worries on that end. They're always very thorough with their research on the
bride and groom and make it a personal experience for them. And, the guests have
always remarked that the DJ is fantastic. I specifically requested Christian for
this reception because of our past personal and professional relationship and it
was a very special wedding to me. While I know ALL of the DJs would have been
awesome, having a personal and professional friend there really made it easy on
me to relax. Being in the wedding party AND helping plan the wedding requires a
lot of time and a lot of stress. This was definitely the one aspect of the
wedding that didn't have any stress and was so much fun! We had a guest come to
me and ask if we could get Christian to play longer even after the bride and
groom left since there were still so many people up on the dance floor. I could
NOT be any happier with my decision to use A DJ Connection!" "From our initial meeting with Matthew and Christian to the actual event,
including rescheduling the wedding, A DJ Connection were very friendly, helpful
and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. All the family and guests had a
memorable time at the evening reception. Thanks to Matthew, Christian and Rick -
you guys are the business!" "Hey Christian. I am a little late getting
this message to you but I want you to know that we all appreciate your talent in
the entertainment business so much. You made Caroline and Corey's reception
exactly what they wanted it to be. The wedding pictures will always reflect the
mood at the reception and every time we talk about the night, you and your antics
during the garter toss, etc. will be a big part of our memories. Thanks again
and know that we're recommending you to everyone we know who needs a DJ for any
event along the Gulf Coast." "Christian did a great job overall and I couldn't have asked
for a better DJ. He was very professional when we met before the event and
greatly eased the planning burden. We couldn't have asked for a better
environment for our wedding, which was of course a direct reflection on the
music and presentation by Christian. Thank you!" "The personalized assistance we received from Shawn in finding a DJ that
fit us perfectly. Followed by the prompt, extremely professionalism excitement
displayed during our meeting with Christian! He was WONDERFUL <THANK YOU>" "Matthew and Christian, Your services more than exceeded our expectations. Your availability to both email and meet with us prior to our event made for stress-free planning. We also appreciated your willingness to provide suggestions, yet always reminding us that you were happy to do whatever we wanted. We could not have imagined our wedding reception going any better! We have heard nothing from our friends and family but how much fun they had! We had our doubts about our friends and family participating in the reception fun and were shocked to see our grandparents among many others shaking it on the dance floor. You guys MC'd one awesome party that is still being talked about weeks later! We would recommend A DJ Connection to anyone and will be calling you with any future DJ needs! Thanks again!" "I was not able to attend the event this year, but ALL comments from staff
and attendees were that Christian was absolutely wonderful - the best we've ever
had. Thank you for turning our event into something really special!" "I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Christian and Shawn at
our Christmas Party! It was the best one ever! We have tried many DJs for our
parties each year but not one of them held a candle to Christian. I just can not
say enough about what fun we had. He made us feel comfortable and interacted
with us to assure a good time. We have such a wide variety of ages yet he
catered to all. Young and old (us over 40) alike were constantly on the dance
floor. There was more laughter and smiles than I have ever seen before. Shawn
too, jumped right in and had our management team up and dancing. Each of them
came to me and said they LOVED it! It created a family feel with no one being
left out! The raves from the employees and management continue flowing in! Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you! I will be calling on you all again and that is a
PROMISE! The entire experience was one to remember, from beginning to end. I
love the accessibility to your site and being able to speak with you personally.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, they truly made the difference. You guys are
GREAT! Thanks again for a memorable party!" "Christian was great! He was very friendly. Several of our guests said
they enjoyed him very much, he was alot of fun! ......I would definitely
recommend A DJ Connection, and in fact, already have to several people." "Thank you to all your staff who was at our
wedding, we had so much fun as well as our guest. We'll reference you guys to
anyone else who may get married in FL. Thank you all so much!" "A considerable number of our guests said that
the DJ's (Matthew and Christian) made the party a success. I agree!" "....our DJ was Christian. He was absolutely awesome. Right on it. We had
a talent/entertainment contest. In between our contestants, we did music trivia.
Every time we got an answer, he'd already
be playing music from that artist. He was Johnny on the spot. He kept the
party going after the contest...." "He (Christian) went above and beyond - even played music tied in with our
last minute music trivia questions." "We had a great time with Christian. I hope he stays
with the company for years to come. If possible, we will request him again.
Thanks for the awesome job!!!!" "Christian did a wonderful job. Usually at high school dances, music is the #1 complaint...I had no complaints this year and a lot of compliments. Very impressed! I will definitely recommend you to others without hesitation." Mandy Stephens (Milton High School) 5/20/08 "Our students loved their night, I am so glad I
booked you because you made their evening just perfect!"
"Excellent services provided by Christian and A DJ Connection. Thanks and
we will definitely call you again when we are in need of your services!" "I called around to several places and A DJ Connection had the friendliest
staff and seemed genuinely interested in our event... the price was higher than
some of the others, but the customer service was well worth it!"
"Thanks again Christian for working the
open house, you did an excellent job and were very pleasant to work with."
Eron (Cowen Equipment
Company)
"I HAVE SEEN/HEARD MATT AND
CHRISTIAN AT O'RILEYS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. I THINK THEY BOTH ARE AMAZING DJ'S.
I KNEW IF I BOOKED EITHER OF THEM FOR THE WEDDING, THAT I WOULD BE PLEASED
WITH THE OUTCOME...CHRISTIAN WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH THE PLANNING PROCESS. HE
WAS VERY THOROUGH IN EXPLAINING EVERYTHING TO ME, AND GAVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT
TO EXPECT. HE WAS VERY QUICK AT RESPONDING TO MY E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS, AND
WAS EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH." "In July we hosted our year-end event for our entire
sales and operations teams and wanted to express my satisfaction with A DJ
Connection who provided music for the evening. In dealing with A DJ
Connection I found them to be professional, timely, and overall, a quality
organization. They are competitively priced, had good equipment and a
great selection of music. I would not hesitate to do business with them in
the future."
