Henry Kim was so professional, courteous, accommodating, and organized before and during the wedding. He replied to my emails instantly and answered every detailed question I had. When we met up to finalize song list, he let us pick the time and place to meet. That was so convenient for us to meet after work at a Starbucks near us. I had a list of songs I wanted to play during the cocktail and dancing hours and it was no problem for him to play them--even songs not listed in the popular play list. Our song selection for the dance was mainly 1980s modern rock, alternative, and techno dance with a few country and pop songs.

We didn't have a coordinator but Henry was like our day of coordinator because he kept us within the time line and made the announcements for us. Guests commented on how wonderful he was in organizing the announcements. Even our photographer(Todd Rafalovich) complimented on Henry's professionalism and how he always love working with Henry. Oh, and Henry complimented the photographer on a separate occasion.

Big Fun was on the Thomas Fogarty Winery preferred DJ list. We had to pick from the list and was so glad we chose him. He also does not accept any deposit and you can cancel anytime without penalty. However he is obligated for your date. Isn't that great? Payment is only after the wedding. Another highly recommeneded vendor!

Paid $845 for four hours of music.

Would I recommend Henry for your wedding? ABSOLUTELY! We had a blast on our wedding and Henry made it possible for us to let go and enjoy our big day.

He's impressive from my 1st email inquiry, to the day we met to interview him, to the weeks leading up to our wedding and he delivered on our wedding reception itself. Henry is very organized, he kept us informed on what's coming up. He coordinated everything from the introduction of the bridal party (even asked how to pronounce everyone's name and gave everyone instructions on when to come in), to all the speeches, and the dances. I even asked him to make sure that everybody got champagne before the toasts and he complied and informed our catering manager. Our videgrapher and photgrapher were impressed with Henry - I can tell how he made everybody's job easy and he worked well with all of them.

He is a professional MC - made the announcements when he needed to. We were very particular with this, we didn't want someone to take center stage and promote themselves. Henry made sure it was all about me and my husband that night. My cousin surprised us with a song and Henry worked with her on when it was appropriate to do it.

If we have to do it over again and again and again - we will have no other choice for a DJ but Henry Kim!

Henry was great! Super responsive and really listened to what our music needs were. He met with FI and I separately so he could talk to us individually about our music tastes. He helped run the timeline and communicated well with my DOC and caterer to make sure we were on schedule. He also kept the dance floor full of people!

We can't say enough how much we loved Big Fun DJ for our wedding--we absolutely loved them! Paul Birchfield was our DJ, and both he and Henry Kim were fantastic throughout the whole process. We got so many comments from friends and family at how much they loved the music and dancing. Here are a couple of highlights:

--They were extremely prompt and professional in all communication, and made everything as easy as could be for us, with no pressure.
--We were very picky about music. Paul sat down with us, really got a sense of our likes and dislikes, and delivered exactly what we wanted.
--Paul even cut some songs for us to fit the timing, where we wanted the chorus, etc, and gave us the burned CD afterward.
--There was an accident during the room set-up (not involving the DJ), and Paul just went right over to help out (I heard about this later--just an example of his professionalism as a team player)
--Paul struck a perfect balance between getting the party going and not doing too much
talking on the mic
--The sound set-up during the ceremony was perfect.
--Paul gave us everything we asked for on the music, then used his knowledge of our preferences to fill in other details on the fly expertly.
--I was hesitant on the lights, but they ended up being a huge hit.

All in all, one of our absolute best vendors!

Woody Miraglia was absolutely fantastic! We honestly couldn't have imagined a better DJ. We used BIG FUN for our entire day - everything from pre-ceremony music through the ceremony, cocktail reception, dinner and into the small hours of the morning. Woody adapted the music and mood perfectly through the different events.

BEFORE THE DAY - invaluable advice and experience... Woody's first principle is that it's YOUR day and he'll support anything you'd like. In our case a few rather eclectic music additions from Switzerland and Ohio! At the same time, Woody will always warn you when he sees a combination or song that might not quite work, e.g. perhaps too obscure to get people on the dancefloor. And he has tons of experience for how everything fits in with the full schedule for the day. Woody made sure that we scheduled a perfectly non-rushed planning meeting a month beforehand to work through specifics and understand our music preferences.

ON THE DAY - reliable, discrete and absolutely professional... Woody arrived in Healdsburg several hours ahead of the event for set up. He was fantastic at collaborating with our other vendors, so we really didn't have to worry about anything. He coordinated event transitions, placed a wireless mic on Matt, set up speakers where needed (even when unfamiliar with our venue), and provided flawless sound throughout. Our music was perfectly timed and adjusted for the speed of our ceremony. And Woody was invaluable to the last minute in helping with the ordering of toasts and sound logistics to have them flow smoothly.

INTO THE NIGHT - an absolute blast... the lights were AMAZING (even though I had initial hesitations about using them. Woody was patient as I back-and-forthed on the decision before going with the lights and absolutely LOVED them on the night. We had the dancefloor packed all night. Woody responded to all kinds of last minute requests and helped to provide fun special intros.
