DJ by the C
San Diego, CA, USATodd was great at hitting the cues with our music request. He cut the toast short, and didn't open the mic back up after we asked. He also forgot the parents dance until I reminded him. Most people ended up not dancing at our wedding. I am not sure if this was because of the buffet line taking so long, or poor crowd management on his part. They were on time. We never got to meet with anyone in person, simply e-mailed the play list.

Everyone raved about our food. I barely got to eat anything, but at the tasting enjoyed her sauces. We were shorted shrimp, due to a misunderstanding, although I thought I paid for it, they had no record. Pasta stations were slow and the buffet line held up the rest of the wedding.

James is well spoken and organized. However, he included scriptures that we did not want, and failed to have the MOH sign the marriage certificate. He makes a recording of the ceremony which is a nice touch.

The shuttle was nice. General accomodations and service were nothing special.
