We were EXTREMELY disappointed with Patrick & Nard's for our wedding. We met with him prior to the wedding and went over all of our songs for special moments (parent dances, grand entrance, etc.), must-play & do-not-play songs, and the types of music we wanted during each part of the reception. Throughout the reception, he played music totally outside of what we asked for (country instead of jazz for cocktail hour, a wide variety of music instead of Motown during dinner, minimal dancing music during the "party" part of the reception).
We also went over the order of the day, which I had meticulously planned, and had song requests from our guests and asked if we should give them to him then. He said he "hate(s) it when couples do that" and that if guests had requests, they needed to make them during the reception. He showed up to the wedding smelling like weed, which my husband and multiple guests noticed and commented on.
He also made a comment about wanting to have a glass of wine later during the reception, but I'm not sure if he had anything to drink or not. There were multiple times during the reception that there was no music playing for minutes at a time. He was rude to guests and my mother. He forgot to give us time to do our thank you speech and forgot to include a major cultural component, which was a song.
The music missed the mark so badly that at one point, guests were standing around the DJ booth with their phones plugged in and connected to Spotify. When he came to speak to me towards the end of the wedding, I told him how upset I was with him and his services, and he tried to blame me and say that it was my fault that I didn't remind him to play the cultural song and argued that lots of guests were dancing and having fun.
It was a HORRENDOUS experience and ruined the night for me. We even ended up cancelling him for my brother's wedding that we had booked him for, even though that left them with only two months to find a DJ. He did return our money, except for the deposit, but my husband and I have not received an apology or any communication from him since the wedding.

James really rocked the whole karaoke experience last night. My friends and I went to Bdubs at VCC last night and not only was he an awesome DJ but also an amazing singer. He brought life to the party that's for sure! I know that we will be going back to karaoke a lot more regularly just based on the good time we had last night! I will also be keeping this DJ service in mind for future parties of mine! Great work! - Sincerely A fiery red head;-
