I was referred to It Takes Two from a relative who was getting married before me, I assumed since my relative was involved in the music scene, he knew this DJ's abilities but it turns out they were referred by their coordinator and didn't know their style either. I went to my cousin's wedding and was horrified to see the DJ accidentally play very loud music in the middle of their vows during the ceremony, then proceed to butcher the releasing of the tables by song for the buffet, then continuously play music that was specifically requested NOT to be played. By this point I had already paid my deposit, but figured I would do my best to make my own wedding fool proof, by giving them very specific instructions for the timeline, the play list, the do not play list and who to be announced for the grand entrance. We had 3 groomsmen drop out due to unforeseen circumstances, and the DJ was instructed on these changes. For our Grand Entrance, they got my entire bridal party right, but they announced me and my husband by the WRONG NAME, then attempted to blame it on our last minute changes...like my last name to be announced was one of those changes. They then forgot to announce my step mother-in-law, played my father-daughter dance song during open dancing, then decided to do their own little karaoke for some reason. I don't know if I've ever been so mad...or disappointed. I should have gotten my deposit back and scrambled to find a new DJ. The level of unprofessionalism displayed by these people is astounding, how they stay in business is a sheer mystery to me. Do yourself a favor...look elsewhere unless you're really willing to risk one of the most important days of your life being ruined.
Response from It Takes Two Djs:
Due to the last minute changes it was beyond our control. All of the planned announcements were changed without proper notice, literally 3 minutes before the Introductions. There was plenty of time for someone to have written them out so that they were easy to read. Regardless the dance floor was packed all night and we had many compliments by the guests as to the music we were playing. We have performed at over 1,000 Weddings with great success. Here are some thank you letters:
Dear Parks & Theresa,Our wedding day was beautiful and perfect, and we received many compliments on how terrific the music was. Also, I'd like to especially thank you for keeping the announcements to the bare minimum and for sticking with the timetable we had established.Best Regards, Julie & Tim Harrison
Our Reception was the best. The music was catered to our specific tastes. The DJ's kept in constant contact with us and our coordinators throughout our wedding and the dance floor was always packed! Linda
