Admit One DJs

Admit One DJs was amazing. From the time we first met with Greg, we were blown away. They were the only DJ company that actually made me picture my wedding. Even though the first meeting was long, it was worth all the time in the world. Greg showed us all they had to offer and even showed up the set up of the DJ equipment and played a few songs while introducing us how we wanted to be introduced at the reception. A few months before the wedding they have a Meet the DJ Night, where you get to walk around their place and interview all their DJs (Best thing ever). Not only do you get to ask them everything you want to know about them, you also get a feel for their personality (which I think is one of the biggest things). After the meet the DJ night we selected Matt G....he was awesome. He played everything we wanted and didnt play the songs that we had on our Do Not Play List. He has a very outgoing personality and was great to be around. He paid attention to the dance floor to see what type of music kept everyone on the floor. I think the only time the floor was empty was dinner and my dance with my dad and my husbands dance with his mom. This is by far one of the best DJ companies to deal with. Everyone keeps talking about how awesome our DJ was.Thank You so much!!

OMG I CAN"T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT KORY!!! WE LOVED HIM!!! Being of someone who has a degree in Radio Broadcasting, music is MUCH MUCH IMPORTANT! He was amazing!!! His experience and dedication to making our day the best day for us surpassed anything I could have ever expected. The music and Kory was the only aspect of our wedding that I truly didn't have to worry about. Since our location was untraditional (never had a wedding there), Kory came out and helped us pick a spot that would be perfect for him to set up. He is WONDERFUL and GREAT and we can't say enough about Kory!!! THANK YOU KORY and ADMIT ONE!

My DJ was Don and he was everything I could have asked for! I had the songs I wanted to play for the important parts of our wedding but other than that I didn't really care what was played. I just said make sure to play music that my guests would enjoy and to keep people dancing. And he did just that, I loved that he knew what songs to play when and he was very professional throughout the entire night. He really made our wedding reception great!

Stay away from Duffy!! HORRIBLE!! Greg was a very talented saleman who sold me a lot of awesome services that they had to offer. So with the money I spent I expected good quality and service from this company. My DJ was Duffy and he was at first a very good & informative person to speak with on the phone. I spoke with him for a half hour to an hour several times before the wedding...so you would think that he would be 100% prepared with all the information on the wedding day....WRONG! He messed up several important dances that we VERBALLY talked about on the phone in which I expressed the extreme importance of the way it\'s handled. The MUST PLAY list is a joke...since he didn\'t play 5 out of the 8 songs that was on that list. The top it all off, i was talking with some friends at the end of night when the music stopped...I confronted him about \"what happened to the last dance\"...since we spoken that it was supposed to be a special song that meant a lot to us..and he claimed his computer crashed and he had no way of retreiving any information on my wedding....it wouldn\'t have been so bad if he was professional about it but his whole attitude was cocky and smug. acting like i\'m supoosed to be ok with his computer crashing even though I spent over a thousand dollars on this service. It was completely a disaster. Unfortantely, it makes me think of Admit one as a horrible company even though they might not be so bad...they just got a bad DJ in Duffy. If you want a professional, stay away from that guy.\r\n\r\n

I recently got married and we used Admit One Djs for our reception. From the beginning, they were very professional. We met with Greg, the general manager. Though it took some time, he took his time explaining everthing in detail - we appreciated this since we had no idea what was invovled. You can tell he really loves what he does. The website was very easy to use. At first we were dead set on having Greg be our Dj but he explained he is only availble in case of back-up. We weren't sure if we were going to like anyone as much but he reassured us we'd love their meet-and-greet. It was great, we enjoyed meeting with everyone face to face and like Greg said, we were more than pleased with the selection of DJ's. The day of our wedding, our DJ got us our first drinks of the eveing and kept everybody dancing all night! We definetly recommend them!

Greg was a fantastic DJ, he was personable without being an overpowering personality. He stayed exactly within the music genres my fiance and I selected while still accommodating our guest's desires.

Admit one gives you mixed feelings. They sell you their work before you get a chance to meet your actual dj. You listen to how great they are and how good their equipment is and tell you they have alot of GREAT djs working for them and only the best. You believe them and sign a contract, pay a deposit and then comes 'meet the dj night'. Guess what? All the GREAT djs are not available and you have a choice of 5-6 others that you can pick from. But the ones you can tell that are GREAT are none of the ones you can pick from! We got lucky we had a great DJ left out of those, but we were worried we only had him as our only choice! If for some reason we didnt get him, we felt screwed. We did have him, he was an Excellent dj and all our guests gave great compliments, we were pleased. So because of his excellent job and because our dance floor was always full we give Admit One Djs almost 5 stars.

My wedding was awesome!!! Our DJ really kept the crowd going and the dance floor paaacked! He also did a great job working with our caterer to make sure the buffet line ran smoothly and that the cake cutting went well. Our photographer even commented on how great he was to work with when we received our pictures! Our overall experience with Admit One was fun and comfortable from start to finish... like having a friend DJ our wedding :) I will recommend them to anyone getting married!

Bryan P. was our DJ and he was awesome!! We had requests but we told him to just make sure people didn't leave the dance floor and wow!! He sure knew how to keep them dancing all night!! We also did a unique glass clanking idea that was suggested at our first meeting and Bryan was such a good sport, he played along and it was so fun for our guests. Bryan was everything we could have hoped for in a DJ! I would recommend him in a minute!

I had Duffy for our DJ and he was amazing! We met him at Meet the DJ night and we knew right away he was the DJ for us. We had some crazy music request and he made all of it happen!

Matt ended up doing our wedding reception.We originally had Jeff, but he was in an accident couple days before so I was rather nervous. Jeff knew everything we wanted, needed, I kinda felt he knew US. (Jeff was an amazing help up until his accident. He really made me feel relaxed about it (Our biggest thing at the wedding was our music))But Matt, He was also amazing! He called me the day before, and read my mind!Right before dinner, I wanted to play "Be Our Guests" from Beauty and the beast.... He actually had set it up that the waiters and waitresses would come out with their trays in hand as the song started. It was all so fun!And he kept GREAT music playing all night long! Their wasnt one time where there was no one on the dance floor! (trust me, I was one who didnt walk away!)

Tony was a fantastic DJ. Hey really knew how to get my guests on the dance floor and to keep them there. He was terrific and the price for the DJ was great

BEST DJ EVER! Another vendor that I met at a bridal expo.....HAPPY!

My reception was only 3 days ago. It is still eating at me that my DJ didnt play the specific songs I requested for my bouquet toss & my garter removal/toss.We didnt end up meeting in person like we shouldve. We were supposed to have met one night but the DJ had to reschedule for the next night same time. The next night I had a crazy headache & just didnt feel like it so we went over everything via phone instead.I specified my song choices & even uploaded to their website songs I paid to download since they didn't have them in their catalog.Money down the drain b/c they were never played.I uploaded other songs to be played during the reception that I never heard either. I heard one b/c I went up to him & specifically requested it.No one was dancing. It was very limited. The dance floor was never full. I ended up leaving my own reception a half hour early b/c I was so upset over the music. I went looking for the Dj during the cocktail hour & he was nowhere to be found. He had the same house/techno song mix on & I swear it played 3 times in a row. He also played songs I heard earlier in the night again. I cant imagine why you'd play the same song twice when you couldn't get to other songs I uploaded for you to play.I feel 3 stars is being very generous & I really wish my husband had not have tipped him b/c he sucked in my opinion.The manager Greg stopped by early in the night during the cocktail hour to make sure things were going ok & at that point, they were.No one hardly dancing, not playing songs the bride specifically requested, playing some songs twice all resulting in the bride being miserable at her own reception & leaving early.....fail on your part Dave F.For the value, not worth it if you're not going to play what I want.

The tough thing about picking a DJ is you don't really know what you're getting until you're right there at the event. We liked working with Admit One, but the DJ we got (Dave F.) gave us a lot of problems. He did not play the songs we selected for our entrance, the cake cutting, or the anniversary dance. He did not even tell us he didn't have the cake cutting song until immediately before, so we couldn't even select an alternate song. Admit One told us that if for some reason they couldn't find a song we had selected, they would contact us and we could send it in, but no one contacted us. Also, Dave F. seemed to have real problems with announcing our group dances, like the Chicken Dance, the Dollar Dance, and the Anniversary Dance. So he did not play songs that were important to us that we selected, and he was bad at announcing. (Aren't those the reasons you have a DJ in the first place?) But then a few days after our wedding, I heard from a couple of my bridesmaids (2 separate incidents) that he tried to start a fight with their husbands over a parking space before the reception even started! He was a bad DJ and a jerk. I've heard other people have used Admit One and gotten a good DJ, so maybe we just had bad luck. But considering how much money we spent on the DJ and the reception as a whole, I would not have taken the chance on using Admit One if I knew they staffed such bad DJs. Update 12/2/2010 - After we submitted our comments about our DJ to Admit One, the general manager reached out to us and tried to make it up to us. Although he couldn't go back and change what happened at our reception, it means a lot that he followed up and tried to correct issues to keep our experience from happening to other couples.

WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE... What is the point in having a website to upload and pick songs if you're never going to hear those songs?! He played "Devil in the Blue Dress" for my cake cutting song instead of the one we picked, "Going to the Chapel." The guy (Dan) was rude and kept leaving the room. He introduced us to the reception late, and we had to do our first dances after dinner because the reception hall was anxious to get dinner out. I couln't find the DJ half the night... and to top it all off, he FORGED my name and signed the review card as excellent when I put poor and signed my name. No one danced the entire night, and I asked specifically that no rap or hip hop be played, and that's about all he played. I have several older family members who would have loved to hear some of the Frank Sinatra I chose... Seriously angry about my experience and how much we paid. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!

I have mixed feelings about our experience. It was hard to make it to the Meet the DJ night out in Naperville, since we work and live in the city. We were told to come at 5pm, but obviously, that was not possible. They were accomodating when I called to tell them we couldn't make it at that time. They told us to just come when we could, and we did. When we got there, a receptionist told her that we had fifteen minutes to meet the deejays and pick them. I didn't appreciate that since I had just spent over an hour and a half to drive to the suburbs. We were told there that we would be contacted within a few days to let us know who would be our deejay. I never got a call or email. I had to call them. Greg apologized and told me it was a mix-up. Matthias was our deejay (second choice), and he was friendly and on top of things (when he wanted to be). I had questions for him, and I called four times but did not get a call back. When I finally did get a hold of him, he said he had to look up our information and would call me back the next day... he did not. My husband had to call from a different number for us to get a response. I felt Greg was professional and very responsive though. We made a DVD for our slideshow, and we sent it to him, and he checked to make sure it was compatible with our equipment. On the actual day of our wedding, Matthias did his job and did it well. We would have liked him to play more of the songs we put on our playlist (we listed probably 60), but overall, he did a good job.

AWESOME!!!

We had Matt G. for our DJ and he was the best. He was extremely flexible and got all of our music correct. We appreciated that it was important to him to get everything right.The entire process of booking was a bit hokey, though. I had encountered them at a wedding expo and asked all of the questions then and there -- I even had a rough price quote. I wanted to be in and out when we met with them and just get it over with. They put us through a 2 hour presentation, and while some of it was helpful, most of it was redundant to me by that point. All in all, I loved working with them, but was turned off by the initial presentation.

Admit one Djs came highly recommended from my friend who used them last year for her wedding. So when my fiance and I went in for the intial meeting with them they showed us the website, the sound system, and that button thing that calls the DJ (the coolest thing in the world!). We had been to other DJ places before and were kind of dissapointed with either thier office or their packages. This one was definitely the best and they had a lot of great things to offer. We actually just went to the Meet the DJ Night, where we got to pick our DJ. It was a blast!! Free drinks, fun people, just a great atomsphere in general- you can't go wrong!

My concern about the big day was music. Music for any party is important and this is the biggest party you are going to throw so why not make it the best! At first we were a little skeptical about the price. We had a budget and their prices seemed steep at first. We thought about all they were offering. We liked the idea of them being a company not just a regular dj. They had the latest equipment and did not need a whole crazy big van to carry it all in. The website allowed you to pick all the songs you liked and even gave suggestions. The package as a whole will cost you but if you want excellent music at your wedding these are the guys you want.We were not dissapointed in the service or level of professionalism we received. Once we went with admit one we felt special. They have a night were their company provides food and drinks and you get to come to a party to mingle with potential djs. It was great because right away you could pick who seemed to mesh with you and who didnt. There was no akward day of figuring out how impersonal your dj is, you already know who they are way before your wedding date!Don was the greatest! He was on top of everything and was always timely with telling us with what was coming up next. He worked really well with the photographer to get some great shots! He kept my friends and family of all ages on the dance floor. He played our favorite music and was gracious and humble through out the night. My family is still raving about the music! Our one goal for our wedding was to have great music and ambiance for our wedding and Admit One DJ's helped us capture our night perfectly!

They were super awesome. We also got a lot of extras for signing up during a promotion. Since I am Colombian and my husband is Mexican we had a lot of spanish music that we wanted to play. Our DJ (Bryan P) was great about this. If he didn't have the song he made sure to have it for the night of the wedding. Our dance floor was packed all night long and everyone danced!!

Admit One is a great company. Just make sure you really think about who you want. Book early, choose early, so you get the one you want. These are second jobs for most of them, so it's hard to get in touch with your dj for planning.

I went to a Chicago bridal show and found Admit One Dj's. I loved their sign and what they had to offer. The only issue was distance. I was from out of state but we made the drive to their business to meet with them initially and for meet the dj night. My, now husband, and I had a great time at the initial meeting. Meet the DJ night was more of a bust. My husband took a night off of work to go with me. We arrived and the food they offer was fantastic, but we found 1 dj we both agreed on, 1 he liked, and 1 I liked. So of course being as we only agreed on 1 we put he as number 1 and the other two as backup..hoping they weren't chosen. We did get our number 1 choice, which was great. But, as we all know all dj's are different we really didn't get to see the DJ's in action. It's exactly as they said.."It's like speed dating". You walk up to a table by yourselves or with other couples and you ask questions. And I will guarantee you will not like some of them. Their policy is "If a guest asks for a song on your do not play list we tell them 'Sorry, we do not have that tonight'. A DJ we spoke to told us he would tell them 'The bride and groom requested that not be played'." I drove around 2 hours to like one DJ. I could have found just as good service from one closer to me for half the price, the only difference is the pager they offer you.

Where do I even begin?! We were recommended to this company from a past bride, and this was the only DJ company we met with! We loved them from day one! We met with Barry where he explained how the company worked, and showed us how it worked. Then, we did the "Meet the DJ" night... Great food.. Great music (DUH!), GREAT DJ's. We picked our top three and we had Matt Griffo as our DJ for our wedding. LET ME TELL YOU.. I felt like I was working with my "professional" best friend. He controlled the ceremony yet still managed to come by me and praise me on my song choices! He is actually one of the people to calm me down some because I was petrified to walk down the aisle. Then, the reception starts... He had the entrances down PERFECTLY and we had a different song for each group... So I was VERY impressed! He also helped make our popcorn! (We brought in our very own popcorn maker) Matt went way above and beyond and I couldn't ask for a better DJ... He always came up to me throughout the night and just chit chatted with me.. I felt like I knew him all my life!! And the dance floor was packed from start to finish. I didn't stop getting compliments even AFTER the wedding on how great he was. My guests LOVED him. He played their requests and was sincere when he didn't have the song.. I can't STOP praising him... Matt was absolutely terrific and I highly recommend him AND the Admit One DJ company. Thank you for making my wedding more special than it already was!!!

Admit One was the first company that we signed a contract for when we started planning our wedding. We choose them, because they said that they would play anything we wanted. We had a few not so traditional songs that we wanted, so it was exciting to see them have it in their library. We went to the meet the DJ night that they hosted. It was kind of like speed dating for DJs. But they did have a bunch of really nice DJs on staff that made us feel comfortable about the whole thing. That night we picked Paul. We liked him, because he really seemed excited about what we wanted to do, and the choices of music that we wanted to play. A month before the wedding Paul made arrangements to meet us and to go over everything we wanted to play. He made us feel comfortable and assured us that he would have everything we asked for, even the not so traditional music. He was kind, sincere, and really loves what he does, which really shows. The day of our wedding was fantastic. All of the music was great! Paul timed out everything perfectly. They also did the slideshow for us, which turned out amazing! (I keep getting compliments!) Everyone had an awesome time, and really enjoyed themselves. Even though we went over budget with Admit One, it was well worth it!!

I was extremely happy with Admitt One DJs. I found that Greg was very willing to help in any way that he could. I had originally one with a different DJ company "Windy City Hitman" in which I had multiple problems with, in a desperate attempt to secure my DJ 3 months before my wedding I called Greg. He was very sympathetic to my situation and even though his prices were much higher then Windy City we worked out a deal that he priced matched what windy city was going to charge me. Our first meeting was around 8pm after my husband got off of work, and Greg and his staff stayed open in order to meet with us and answer any questions we had. Greg has put together a wonderful and welcoming building where my husband and I felt very relaxed and comfortable. For the most part I loved their website, they only negative is that there is no song search...you have to type in the songs you want and their "example list" is not very complete. But if the DJ you choose does not have the song, they had no problem finding it for you. The meet the DJ night was fantastic...Yes it was a bit crowed, but we were never rushed in fact were were there an hr AFTER it had finished and nobody said anything to us. There were a couple of review that said they tried to "liquor you up" at this party, i don't believe that to be true..yes they do offer if you want beer, wine or anything else from the bar, but they also offered water, soda and juice. I enjoyed meeting all the dj and picking our top three, which was a very hard choice :)The DJ we chose was Duffy, He was amazing, over the course of the few months we spoke with him many time to make sure that everything was correct. Duffy worked very hard to make sure that he pronounced all of our names correctly and everything was in order. We did have some response issues with Duffy, he said he would call us on a Monday evening and we didn't hear from him again until the next night or possible two night later. It wasn't a big deal, just a little annoyance since my husband and I worked different schedules and specifically made a point to be home together to talk to him. He was very apologetic. The night of my wedding went off perfect. The dance floor was packed all night long (which was my number once concern regarding my dj) Duffy was very understanding of this and make sure music was played that kept people wanting to dance. Duffy was very professional, and made all my guests feel comfortable giving requests and he did his best to accommodate all of them. regarding the pager, We really didn't use it, I believe there was once, we couldn't find someone, and we asked him, other then that it wasn't needed. I feel that even without the pager Duffy and any Admitt one DJ would be willing to help you out. I didn't find that it was worth the extra money to have it. It is a very cool concept, and I think if I didn't have a friend that was my event coordinator I may have used it more. Overall, Duffy and the whole admitt one dj staff exceeded my expectations and made my night one wild party. People are still talking about it.

The dj did not deliver what he promised. He showed up late and caused considerable stress. He didn't play for one hour during the cocktail hour and when the owner was told this he said that was an extra charge. I wouold never recommend this company. The DJ was not truthful and he was explicitly told not to take requests and he did. He played songs that were not on the list to be played.
No stars

Dear Greg, Christine and I would like to take this time to express to you our sincere gratitude for all the efforts that you have shown us in the area of customer service. Throughout our search for an amazing DJ, we encountered many people that were average, and many owners that were unknowledgeable, pushy, unprofessional, and frankly unfriendly individuals to work with. However, when we encountered your location, we have to say that you were very professional, pleasant to work with, motivated, and very knowledgeable. Moreover, you were very compassionate when speaking about your service and brand. Again, we would like to take this opportunity to express to you our sincere gratitude. Truly your level of professionalism and value to illustrate to a customer that they are more than just another sale, is unmatched by anyone we have encountered within the industry. Sincerely, Michael & Christine Lombard, IL P.S. We are still receiving compliments about your fantastic abilities as a DJ. We will be sure to refer you to all of our friends and family, and reach out to you in the future for all of our music needs.

I am extremely disappointed with Admit One DJs. At first everything was great which is why we booked them even though it was more than we were going to spend. Then you have to go to a party to meet all the DJs with hundreds of other couples so you really don't get much one on one time with any of them. Then you have to pick your top 3. We got our #1 choice which we were excited about at first. After the 1st time he called, I asked him to call the groom from that point on since he would be handling all the music decisions. He never stopped calling my phone!!! Then, when we showed up at the reception on the evening of the wedding, we were greeted by a new DJ (which we met at the intro party and actually DIDN'T like him and wasn't one of our 3 choices!) and he told us that our original DJ couldn't make it. We didn't get a phone call or any kind of heads up that our DJ wasn't going to be there. We were NOT happy and will NEVER recommend this company to anyone!

My husband and I were married two weeks ago and we used Admit One DJs for our reception. I’m so glad we went with them! They were great! They really showed a strong dedication to us. We even got to go to a party where we got to talk with all the DJs and pick our favorites. I also loved that they have a website where I could update all the details of my wedding. It was really great to be able to log into my account online whenever I thought of a new song or detail. And the actual reception was such a blast! The DJ made sure to play all my favorite songs and really had a good idea of the kinds of music we like. He actually got my brother onto the dance floor! And my brother does not dance! It was a perfect reception thanks to Admit One DJs. Best DJ EVER!

Our DJ was great! He was a little late to our reception but his hard work paid off and we were still able to start on time. He worked extremely well under pressure and kept us and our guest happy the entire night. We would definitely recommend this company. One of the great features would be their "Meet the DJ" night. We were able to mingle with their staffed DJs and choose 3 of our favorites. Lucky for us we got our first choice!

We used Admit One for our wedding. Their website was super-easy to use. Our DJ, Brad, was awesome! We had a huge wedding party and wanted each couple introduced to have their own intro song clip. Brad went out of his way to make sure this happened for us. Oh, also, we LOVED the idea of the "button" that they give the groom in case we needed anything. But we never had to use the button, because Brad came by us a bunch of times to see if we needed anything. Fantastic experience!!

Overall the process was good. Some of the requests we sat down and made with the dj weren't done correctly or done at all :-( Most of the songs we put on our list were played and our guest had a great time. My only issue was our dj was not very animated or vocal and cleared the dance floor a couple times with his song choice...made up for it by recognizing it before any real damage was done.

My wife and I used Admit One DJS for our wedding last October. They did a great job keeping our dance floor packed all night. Our friends are still saying how much fun they had at our wedding. One of the best things about Admit One DJS was there meet the dj night. We got to choose our dj. Matt was our dj. He helped us plan our wedding on the company web site and really did a fantastic job the night of our reception. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends who are getting married.

At our first meeting with Admit One DJs, the company's professional and modern image was apparent. To choose your DJ, you have to attend a "meet the DJ night", which was somewhat stressful due to the many DJs they have and limited time to meet them all, however, we were not rushed through and were able to stop by and meet every DJ. We were assigned our top choice, Don, and he was fantastic. Don was able to keep things running smoothly, informed us of upcoming dances and speeches so that we knew what was going on, and he was able to improvise when little things didn't go exactly as scheduled. Also, Don was able to coordinate with our acoustic musician who was playing during dinner. Our guests were dancing all night long, and there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. When the party ended at midnight, there were still tons of people there... a true testament to a great night, thanks to Don's talents.

We worked with Admit One DJ's and really liked them. Our DJ was Matt Griffo, I would highly recommend him, especially if you want a DJ who can kept people on the dance floor. He always got back to us right away and met with us the week before the wedding in person near where we live. When we had a small issue at the reception with the microphone (not his fault something with the venue PA) he had a new clear wireless microphone ready to go. He really thought of everything. We also had a special pager so we could reach him at the reception if we needed anything. before we did everything he'd give us a heads up, like 1st dance will be in 10 min. so we were ready when he announced it.We had 9 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen and he got every single first and last name right! Not an easy task with our group. He also edited our 1st dance song (it was originally 6-7 min) and used a personal song my dad's friend recorded for our daddy/daughter dance. He went above and beyond and was able to stay late when we extended the reception.We would definitely recommend him, he knows his music and you can tell he is passionate about his job.

We received tons of complements after the wedding about how great our DJ was and how great all the music was. Gage, our DJ, kept the dance floor full the entire night! He was also super organized and kept us informed of all the times of when things would be done. They were a little expensive, but my now husband loved the pager system and was really impressed with their sound system and equipment. They were also a little slow in responding to emails, so I definitely suggest calling if you have something that needs immediate attention. (Gage was great, though, with responding to calls and emails. He even helped with offering suggestions for the mother-son dance song when asked.)The "Meet the DJ" night was not my favorite experience, but I guess it does allow you the opportunity to get to know the DJs before deciding, but it was somewhat hard with so many people at the event. We had asked for a list of DJs that were available for our night prior to attending the event, and were only told that we needed to attend and that there were a good number of DJs still available. Some other companies offer profiles online and sample videos, which I think is really helpful in seeing how they actually perform. Overall, we were very pleased, everyone had a fantastic time, and Gage was super nice, very professional, and just great to work with.

Admit One DJ threatens to sue people when they write bad reviews. They say they will sue unless the bad review is removed. So just think how many bad reviews have been taken down. They threatened to sue my friend but I was at the wedding and they were "in my opinion" horrible. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Admit 1 DJ was a pleasure to work with- above anything else, they were extremely professional. The only thing I was not really pleased with was the dj who worked our wedding, Everything started out well, but just went down hill as the reception went on, He kept playing songs that clearly people didn't want to dance to and then instead of switching songs, he just let it play until the end which sometimes felt like it was never going to end. Overall, I wish our dj was able to read the crowd better and adjust the music selection to them.

Brad was a great DJ! You will pick your DJ based on a Meet and Greet Night, we were not necessarily HUGE fans of this but at the end of the day we were thrilled with Brad who kept our dance floor PACKED and did not disappoint for a second. He was very accomodating and flexible that evening as well. We had also used this company for our Phot Montage which turned out wonderfully but was a little pricey!

I guess your experience is all depending on what DJ you get. I was happy with them at first. I felt "brushed aside" at the Meet the DJ night but our DJ made up for all of that. His name is Hakeem and he is very young and knows what's going on. He can help you decide what songs to use, etc... I was very happy with him. I couldn't ask for a nicer DJ. They had this pager thing that I'd press that would page Hakeem and it was very easty to cordinate stuff like Cake Cutting, different dances,etc... Because he'd say, hit the pager when you want to do the Cake Cutting. I ate my soup, click, he came running, we cut the cake. And I felt bad because he literally RAN! Hakeem was awesome!

We were very happy with our DJ Matt. He was a fun and enthusiastic person, and did a wonderful job with the music and keeping everyone dancing. It was more fun than I had even expected! Matt told us at the end of the night that he really enjoyed doing our reception and had a lot of fun, which meant a lot to us. As for the Admit One company, it is fairly expensive but if you get a great DJ like Matt its worth it. The Meet the DJs night is somewhat stressful and not organized as well as it could be (too many people and not enough room), but it was nice to have a say in who our DJ would be. Their website is not the best, but once you figure it out, it's nice to be able to pick out almost all of your songs for the night. They should send you payment reminders though, which they don't do and a couple of times I almost forgot to send in the payment on time... They should also make it possible to make payments online with a credit card (instead you have to print out a form and mail your CC info to them...).

I couldn’t wait to write a review about these guys. When you first go in to meet with them, they seem great. You are amazed with everything they have to offer. What you don’t get to know is the following: You don’t actually get to pick out the DJ you want. You go to a meet and greet, you talk to the DJ’S and then you write the names of 3 DJ’S you like, and they choose which one you get. We were supposed to get a gobo for our wedding. I called their main number and the owner Greg answered the phone and said he would call me back with the measurements within two days. I never received that call. So I called back again, talked to a girl who said she would have Greg call me back, that never happened either. So I let it go for a while. By the time Greg gave me the information for the gobo, I did not have enough time to get it shipped to my house. So I didn’t have it for my wedding. The owner of the company Greg was very unprofessional. We called to ask him if he could take a excel spread sheet as our music list because they do not have a way to separate it on their site. He said straight out no that they do not allow you to pick out what you want played when. He was extremely rude, started to argue with me and my hubby on the phone. I could not believe that after all we spent to have them as our DJ, three days before the wedding I am getting yelled at by the owner of the company. So instead of yelling back, and letting him drag me to his level, I hung up the phone and called my DJ himself. Greg did call back the following day apologizing for his behavior over the phone, saying that he had just gotten some bad news before we called him. (Still not my problem & wasn’t my fault)As much as I disliked the owner, I was happy about one thing. He was not the guy that was going to be the DJ for my wedding. Hakeem was our DJ; he was very nice and tried to do as much as possible to make things better. He did a great job on the wedding. I would recommend him, but not the company. I will end this with one piece of advice that I have stated here before “The owner of the company Greg was very unprofessional”.

They were ok in terms of guests enjoying, but needed way too much direction the night of my wedding. I just wanted to enjoy and not have to worry about the DJ and making sure the songs were ok...plus we had a lot of confusion at the beginning

We were very happy with our dj (Brian Patrick) and his professionallism at our wedding - he was very attentive, and he kept the dance floor packed, and did everything a dj should - i would give him a 5. However, the availabilty of the office staff was not impressive. We were told when we booked that we would go to a Meet the DJ night within 4 months - they didnt contact us for 7 months - they didnt send us reminders when we owed money...and they dont have a way to contact them via email - you have to call a phone number which i found it was hard to get a hold of people. i think they need to hire more employees and be more attentive to their clients.

Admit One Djs was an outstanding company to work with. I was really concerned about the music that was going to be played during my reception, but they gave great music ideas on the website when I wasn't sure. If there was something they didn't have, I just put it on our list of 'must plays' and they got it for us. The DJ that we picked was really fleixble with our schedules, and when we met up with him, he assured us of our music selections, pronouncing of names, and even the times of our events throughout the night. We had a great time at out reception and we owe it to our DJ and Admit One!

Excellent for the money. Very expensive to book but was worth it. Did an awesome job.

I was excited to work with Admit One DJs because they had DJs who spoke Spanish. Well when it came time to pick the DJ at "meet the Dj" night, I was less than thrilled about how they went about...picture speed dating for a DJ and they tried to liquor you up as well while picking your DJ. We found out that there were two djs to pick from who spoke Spanish and we picked Brian. I was a little hesitant because he seemed pretty shy, but Brian was able to deliver a great wedding reception and kept the dance floor packed all night!

Duffy was awesome. He really worked with us to make sure our music list was perfect. We must have talked at least 3 times over the phone to make sure things were right. He kept the dance floor packed and everyone happy. Everyone said the music was awesome that night and that they haven't had that much fun in a wedding in a long time.

They were wonderful. They were awesome like no other.my husband wanted Ozzy BLS and Other pain in the butt musicThey did it!the photo montages was fantastic.we never used that pager thingyBut very cool guys

Admit One DJs is a good entertainment company. Stuck with the requested song list and played songs as requested. Forgot to include my dad in the toasts (even though we went over the timeline of events for the reception 2 days before).

We were very happy with our DJ, Matt; he kept the dance floor going the whole night. From talking to other brides, it seems that just in the last year DJ prices for the real professional companies have increased hundreds of dollars--we were hoping to do better price-wise (our price included a discount!). But at least we got a very good DJ.

I love Admit One! They were so professional, they also do a meet the DJ night where you can pick your own DJ. A great perk is that they come with a "beck and call." They give us a button to push during wedding, and the DJ will come to you and see what you need. You can ask for a drink, or anything else that you need taken care of! My DJ was great his name was John Bundy. They also have you fill out a questionairre online with songs you would like to have played and not played. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

All the employees have experience and are very personable. They are flexible in meeting with you over the phone or in person. They also have a dj night where you can go and meet with their djs and pick your top choices. Based on availability they will pair you with the most reliable dj. They are all easy to work with and really know how to get the dance floor going :) They also have an on-line questionnaire to fill out all the information they need to know for your wedding/reception. There is no downside to working with AdmitOne DJs.

Easy to work with. Their web site is not user friendly.

We originally met Barry at a friend's wedding and felt like we "had to have him"! The first impression with this company is incredible...they start to woo you immediately. After our initial meeting, we truly felt sold on going with this company. Months later, we went to the "meet and greet" where we discovered that Barry might not actually be our DJ. Of course, by this time we were all ready committed. I really pursued the issue and we were lucky enough to ultimately have Barry despite the uncertainty. Barry was exceptional! The dance floor was packed all night and many of our guests are still talking about what a blast our reception was. This company does deliver a solid performance, but make sure that you get EVERYTHING you want in writing before you sign a contract. Barry is a tough one to snag, but if he's available...go get him!

I got married on June 21, 2008. We chose to use admit one dj company because my cousin Kim used them at her wedding and they did a great job. We had Barry as our DJ and he did an exceptional job, the dance floor was packed all night with young people, old people, singles, and couples! My wedding was outside, so Barry also did the sound for our ceremony. The best part about admit one dj is their website, it is so easy to use and it helps you stay organized. I would reccommend admit one dj to any bride who wants a quality dj! Also, we got the little button thing and Barry would bring us drinks, it was so cool! They definitely go above and beyond. I couldn't have been happier with this company!

Admit One DJs were a pleasure to work with and made the entore process very easy!! They were one of the few vendors that called me prior to the wedding to confirm everything.

We had Nate for our DJ - he was good, he listened to us when we told him we didn't like something. Admit One DJs is great because you can go online and pick your playlist and do not play list and save it online. The DJ accesses that to see what you have, and uses the list. He did a few things we didn't care for (like trying to get my husband to take my garter off with his teeth...not our style) but that was lack of communication on our part. I would recommend them. You get to pick your DJ out on meet a DJ nights, and they will even do your slideshow for you if you drop the DVD or CD off. We were a little nervous, because we didn't hear from them about our DJ until a week before but again, a lack of communication on our part. You can make payments online (as long as they're on time...one of ours wasn't, we had to pay in person the day of the wedding because of that...oops!) Check them out! www.admitonedjs.com

Our DJ was great. We had so much fun with the music that he picked and for the most part we let him play what he wanted.

DJ did everything we asked for, performed ceremony music beautifully. Is pricey compared to other places. One downfall is we paid extra for a beck and call option, but we werent told before hand that it was only good throughout dinner, not the whole night. But the music kept everyone on the dance floor which is the most important thing

Overall, they were good. We had met with them to go over detail and the packages to select from. I would say they are quite professional and really have great customer service in their offices. They actually let you see how a video would look, what the sound system and lights are like - very high-tech. My husband absolutely loved them! We were very pleased with the prices and services. The only reason, I went down a little on professionalism is because of the actually DJ we had. He was new to the business and he arrived late, so he wasn't set up before the guests arrived at the reception. The attendant at the reception said he got lost, so he had just finished setting up when we arrived (but the guests had already been there about a half an hour). He played great music and was flexible as we had some mix-ups like with the toss bouquet, but it all smoothed out in the end. I thought the video montage was pricey, but that was just my personal thoughts.

They were great! They were able to get a song for my first dance that was not in their system, as well as load some songs from a friend of ours to have played! They were great in dealing with everyone and sticking to what we like in music. Our DJ was fun and exciting and we loved having him at our reception.

We started our experience with them about a year early and felt the high-pressure sales thing they do. We had some comfort problems early on and they wouldn’t assign a DJ right away. We almost dropped them more than once because we were so uncomfortable with the choice and learned they are one of the pricier DJs around. Greg, the manager, was the one that actually ended up doing our wedding. He was about 15 minutes late, which caused some stress cause he was the one mic-ing our ceremony and then had the nerve to start asking me to for directions on the phone. However, once he got there and set up he did a great job with everything. We had some unique announcements we did and were adamant about our must play list and everything went off great and the dance floor stayed boomin.

The were so great and friendly. They did a great job in making our reception exactly what we wanted! We wanted everyone to dance and they knew the music to play to make sure our dance floor got full and stayed that way the entire night!

Our D.J, Don, truly did an awesome job! The dance floor was packed the entire night and all of our guests commented on what a great selection of music we had...we couldn't have been happier! Thank you!

Admit One did my wedding and my brother's wedding. They were wonderful to work with and had great ideas. EVERYONE was on the dance floor! My one negative comment is that they were difficult to get ahold of at times.

The are probably the best company we found. They let us choose our own music from our computer at home, which was really easy. He called a week before to confirm as well. Our music was played and he also took requests. I am really happy we decided to go with them.

Their website was a great help. They make sure to not play anything that you do not want to hear and play everything that you do want to hear. The dj was great. He was very funny and entertaining. He kept my dance floor full all night long, which was very importnatn to me and my husband. It was a real party.

Brian did an awesome job!! We had to push back dinner due to a lot of people being late. This left little time for open dancing. Brian found a way to play songs we wanted to hear and got the crowd going....we almost extended the wedding and he was willing to stay and seemed perfectly fine with it. He thanked us and made us feel like he enjoyed being there! I would reccomend him and Admit one to anyone planning a wedding!

I HIGHLY recommend Admit One DJs!!! Greg is the best and my wedding reception was PERFECT BECAUSE OF HIM!!

Admit One did a great job!! We had Barry, he was great!! Our dance floor was packed the whole night!!

Loved our DJ. Very nice, easy to work with, great website for our song list. Great music selection. THe only negative is that we gave him 3 songs Not to play and he played 2 out of 3. Other than that the experience was awesome!

We had a 3 hour presentation about the services. DJ was personable professional and they run an outstanding business. I have recommended them to 2 friends who have also been pleased. Dj will make sure he can pronounce everyones name correctly. he is organized, he will coordinate with the photographer and other wedding vender's to make sure everything happens at the right time. music equipment is state of the art. they sit down and try to get to know you. They have a special website for you to choose all of our songs. and they will get any song for you if they don't have it.

Our DJ was nice, he got a few names wrong even though we rehearsed the pronounciations several times. (I was happy he said MY name correctly!) He also played everything we requested and kept the party "live" all night long. He was awesome.

Couldn't ask for a better DJ. He even accomidated minor things for us like he played a special CD we gave him of my deceased grandfather's old Polka band and even dedicated it to my grandmother.He didn't talk when it wasn't needed.Absolutely perfect. Plus it was super easy to use their website to make my song list.

DO NOT USE ADMIT ONE!!! What a nightmare! If I could give them 0 or negative stars I would. We used them for our wedding and the service was horrific! They promise professionalism and a worry free event, these are two of many promises that they break.

We became interested in them because we saw one of their DJs perform at a friends wedding. He was the same person that did our initial meeting with them. Their presentation is fantastic. We were so impressed that we went slightly over budget to secure a worry free DJ. Little did we know this was where the NIGHTMARE would start!

As soon as we signed with them and started to pay them the customer service was nonexistent. They're meet the DJ night was the biggest problem that we had with them. We were told that one DJ would be available to do weddings and put him on our list. After searching for another 2 hours we found 2 more DJs that weren't creepy to put on our list. A few weeks later we were told that we didn't have a DJ and that we'd have to pick from the 5 that were available for our date. It turned out that the DJ we wanted was never available and they had lied....one of many lies! We chose one of the five based on the owners recommendation. This guy was TERRIBLE!

They promised to keep people up and dancing at our wedding but the dance floor was a group of people standing around. In addition to this, he played music off of our do not play list and didn't play songs on our must play list!

We complained multiple times to the owner of Admit One and he said that he would get back to us. We never heard from him again. During the sales pitch he seems like a really nice guy....don't be fooled. He's more like a used car salesman! As soon as he has your money he is arrogant, cocky, and very unaccommodating! I don't know how This place remains in business.

They have definitely earned their BBB score of F. I can't stress enough....if you want your event to go well and be stress free DO NOT USE ADMIT ONE!

We were very happy with our DJ's energy ant attention to detail. They did a great job! We highly reccommend them.

We recently celebrated our wedding and used Admit One DJ as our DJ and we were and still are EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED with their service. Worse than extremely dissatisfied, we were downright angry. I would give negative stars if possible. Here goes - We had attended a "Meet the DJ" night a few months prior to the wedding. We sat down and talked to DJ's for the company and came up with our top 3 DJ's we would want to have at our wedding. We were told that we would be contacted soon and we would know who our DJ is. About 3 weeks prior to the wedding, I called the company because I still had not heard from them. I was told by the owner that he had no record that we had attended the "Meet the DJ" night and by now the 3 DJ's we picked had been assigned to other weddings. I was told I could attend the next "Meet the DJ" night, coincidently in a few hours. I couldn't make it though since I had to work so instead he reassured us the he had the "perfect" DJ for us. He is one of the "best" DJ's in the company and would know how to handle our crowd since he was a younger DJ. I was even told that there is an extra fee to use him and the fee would be waived for us because of the confusion. Unfortunately, 3 weeks prior to the wedding I had no choice but to trust the owner of Admit One DJ. We had also hired them to do our video montage. That was another HUGE mistake. The night started with the montage shortly after introductions. After the brides pictures of growing up, the screen went blank but the music kept playing. I looked over at our "perfect" DJ to find him text messaging and not even aware that the screen was blank until someone in the wedding party ran down to notify him. After 10 minutes, the food was served and then the DJ approached me and said that all of my pictures would have to be re-played in order for the grooms pictures and our couples pictures to show. The montage played from the beginning again and the wrong songs were played. I was so upset, crying because I knew we worked so hard to put this show together and the DJ ruined it not once, but twice. Then during the best man's and fathers' speeches the microphone was cutting in and out so they eventually stopped using it. Now, when we first selected Admit One DJ, the owner was bragging about his new equipment that blended songs together and there would be no gap in songs. Well once again, Admit One DJ failed to deliver. There would be at least 10 seconds between songs and people would be on the dance floor waiting for the next song to play. It was ridiculous the way he performed and the lies I was told. I was very upset with the company and they were the only bad part of my wedding. To top it all off, the following day, the owner wouldn't believe us and is not willing to refund us until we prove it to him that there were gaps in music for that long. Wait til I get the wedding video for this moron. I would NEVER recommend using the company.
