We are a Canadian couple who had the crazy idea of getting married in New York. It all worked out in the end, but let's just say we ran into some shady vendors. Like our first DJ, who took our deposit and then disappeared two weeks before our wedding. I thought I was going to have a nervous reakdown, but Raphael Gordon was our miracle. He worked with us from our last minute booking, and never made us feel as though there was noting he would not do for us. He even agreed to do a special mix for our first dance so we could surprise our guests. That was a hit, because my husband never dances. People are still talkng about that and saying how wonderful it was. Our wedding was awesome and Rapahel was a huge part of that. He is very confident, and he delivers on that. He is more than just a DJ, he has the personality to interact with everyone, and to really have the party jumping. I saw my dad with party favors doing a congaline. I was shocked because my dad is very reserved. I did not even know Raphael was going to give out favors, but he just went with the flow of the crowd and it was great. I will recommend him to any and everyone. He provided the music for the ceremony too, and really offered us some great advice about which songs were good, etc. I give him an A+, but even that does not do him justice.
