Reviews for Spectrum Entertainment & Events
GUEST




I used Spectrum for my lighting in the venue and they did a great job! Was very pleased! Thanks Lou!
GUEST




To put it mildly, this vendor was a great disappointment. After our initial consultation, it was impossible to contact them via phone. I had great expectations for this company. They talked a good talk and provided a great looking planning sheet online. You could outline the flow of your event and (the part I had high hopes for) a notes section where you can put special requests for certain songs as well as "Do Not Play" list. All good things...but the company made changes to my timeline AFTER the final submission date at someone else's request, and on the day of the event, the DJ clearly hadn't read ANY of the notes. I think the kicker was when he started to play a song from our do not play list because a guest had walked up and asked for it. I never expected that my wedding day would be perfect but these guys took the cake on sleepwalking through our event. The only good quality I can note for this DJ was that he was billed as a good mixer and he was. The bottom line, if your music is important to you. Do NOT take a chance of Spectrum Entertainment. They are all talk and no performance.
GUEST




Lou is amazing! What a fabulous DJ. He made the night and can not say enough good things about him!
GUEST




Spectrum was absolutely wonderful! We booked them after hearing good reviews from friends and we were not disappointed at all! We met with the owner before the wedding and went over exactly what we were looking for in the DJ and the music. They have an online event planning guide that allows you to look at the most requested songs and save your music for special events (like the first dance and anniversary song). Our DJ, Andrew, was so fun and outgoing! We didn't have alcohol at our wedding so it was hard to get certain people out on the dance floor but Andrew got everyone up and moving! He was so nice and full of energy. He played exactly what we wanted and was very professional.
GUEST




Spectrum was fantastic! Their on-line planning tool was so helpful; it allowed me to lay out exactly how I wanted the night to go and Omar (our DJ) did everything we asked. Very upbeat, professional and fun!!
GUEST




We used SE for our DJ, ceremony music and videography. The meetings before the wedding were very professional and the staff was very helpful in helping us decide what music to play. We chose a harpist for ceremony, which was beautiful. The DJ was great, very personable and the videographer was also very good and didn't really notice him there. However, two months after the wedding I called SE to ask about our video and I was told it would be about 3 more weeks and that ours was next in line to be edited. A few weeks later, no video. I call SE and leave a message for Matt and of course he waits until Friday night after 6 to return my call. I called him repeatedly and never got a call back. I only received a call from the editor, not Matt, after I threatened Matt via voice mail to call Flint Hill and complain(SE is on their preferred vendor list and they wouldnt want to lose that cash cow). The editor promised I would have it by Christmas( wedding was in September ). He did provide a highlight reel which was very nice but not the whole video. He keeps promising to send it, emails me last week asking for our address so he could mail it out by last Friday. Here we are a week later and no video. This is going on 4 months now. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever see my video. Take this review for what it's worth. SE does good work but the level of service I received after the wedding and more importantly after we paid was horrendous.

I am so glad we went with Spectrum Entertainment for our entertainment. Matt was awesome with all the set up and prepping before the wedding and Tom Russo was an awesome DJ the day of! I would definitely recommend them and tell you to ask for either Tom or Matt as your DJ!
GUEST




Spectrum was AWESOME! Our DJ, Matt, was professional, easy to get in touch with, and very flexible - we had some last minute family issues and Matt took everything in stride. He was also kind and courteous enough to pay a quick visit to the nervous bride an hour or so before the ceremony to touch base! True professionalism. As for the music, it was FANTASTIC! Any song we requested, he had! Our ceremony scoring was exactly as I'd dreamed, and our reception was fun and kept the party going! Also, Spectrum's pricing is reasonable and fit easily into our budget. I highly recommend Spectrum, and Matt especially. Thank you!
GUEST




our dj was Lou Guzzo and all i can say is he is AMAZING! he rocked our reception and was totally awesome to work with!! we couldnt of asked for anyone better than Lou. he was nothing but wonderful to work with. i will always reccommend Lou for someone looking for a DJ.Thank you for being so incredibly wonderufl to work with and thank you for making our day more than wonderful!!! EVERYONE at out reception LOVED you!!!We also used Dianne for photography and Dianne is truely the sweetest person ever! She has such a talent and we can not thank her enough for taking such AMAZING pictures of us!! We clicked right from the beginning and i can not wait to see all of our pictures, i would reccomend Dianne a thousand times over!!! Thank you for making out day one of the best and caputring some GREAT memories for us! <3
GUEST




Spectrum was awesome to work with!! Matt Osbourne is a true professional. He offered us substantial discounts since we booked many different services with him: DJ, harpist, photographers and videographer. It was great for piece of mind that Spectrum was our one-stop-shop. It truly made the day "worry free." Everyone showed up right on time and made us feel like celebrities. The planning sessions prior to our big day were very detailed and everything provided was exactly as planned. I would say that the one negative is that there is a very long turn-around time to see photos and videos. I would certainly recommend this company to any bride!
GUEST




Matt Osbourne was our DJ for both the ceremony and the reception. Our planning session with him a few weeks before the wedding really lowered our anxiety. He was really great with covering all the details and was able to give us a lot of information and advice that helped us tailor our event to make it what we wanted. The online system made it so easy to plan details out. Matt was on time, kept things running smoothly, and was present the whole night without being overbearing. We would highly recommend using Matt as a DJ.
GUEST




Scott is great! Scott was very thorough and hands on with creating a fun party atmosphere at our wedding. His music choices were perfect and he did an excellent job of gauging what our guests were into (musically) so that they would keep dancing all night!
GUEST




Matt was our dj and he was awesome! Everyone was dancing and having a blast all night! I would definetly recommend Spectrum.
GUEST




EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!! GREAT VALUE FOR THE COST!!! MY DJ was Kenton Myers and he was absolutely amazing.....he kept everyone dancing the whole night. He knew exactly how to feel out our crowd and please everyone!!!!!!! THE DJ MAKES THE PARTY AND KENTON DEFINITELY MADE OUR WEDDING ONE AMAZiNG PARTY!!!

Spectrum has a host of DJs in their service, but ours, Alex Peri, was FANTASTIC!!! I didn't want to spent a lifetime planning every song, so other than my mom planning songs for the dinner hour, we literally planned nothing. They had a survey we filled out about the type of wedding music we wanted, and he did the rest. I was EXTREMELY skeptical about Spectrum...until my reception. He was fantastic, and we had a fantastic, classy, fun party! Alex was the perfect DJ for us, but the great thing about Alex and Spectrum is that they can be the perfect DJ for ANYONE! You have total control over your reception music, whether you want to plan every moment of it or if you want to leave it in their hands (or a mix). Spectrum Entertainment is a very capable entertainment company, and from my experience, Alex Peri is a fantastic DJ. Girls, I LOVE TO DANCE, and we had a great dance party. He really helped make the night perfect! I hope this helps you girls out there! Having one thing you don't have to worry about will really make your wedding day just a little less stressful :)
GUEST




Spectrum was great! They were everywhere at our wedding and I am so excited to see it on film since I feel like I didn't get to see everything! So glad they were there to be our eyes and ears! Can't wait to see it! Thank you guys so much for all of your help! Danielle and Ryan Scott
GUEST




We loved this DJ service. From the very beginning Scott was awesome very personable. He assured that I day would go well with our selected DJ. Our DJ was Kenton, he was just awesome. He had everyone old and young on the dance floor. He worked with my new husband to create a memorable moment at my wedding. He kept everyone very excited throughout the entire reception until the very end. Great Job Kenton. So if you are looking for awesome DJ's that will assure everyone will have a great time Spectrum Entertainment is the vendor for you to use.
GUEST




Spectrum Entertainment (LOU was our DJ) was amazing!!!! I love the way they mixed all kinds of music for EVERYONE to enjoy! They also provided my ceremony music, which was outstanding! They are on their game, and totally energetic... which is what any bride would want! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a great time and a memory you will never forget!!!
GUEST




Matt Osborne from Spectrum Entertainment was awesome! He took time to meet with me prior to the wedding to develop a ceremony and reception play list. He had a great sense of humor and was fun to work with during what can be a stressful process. I wanted a great party atmosphere where people danced, and he helped create that with the music. He was low key and did not hog the spotlight, creating a nice balance for the reception. I highly recommend him!
GUEST




Our DJ was really good with our crowd. He was able to figure out exactly what to play with very little input. Everyone had a great time. The pictures came out great. We had some amazing shots. All in all, Spectrum was awesome!
GUEST




all i can say is wonderful!!! matt osborne was my dj... but he was so much more than a dj. he kept me & everyone else on track and kept the reception dancing all night!!!!
GUEST




Spectrum was cheaper than lethal rhythms but more expensive than black tie entertainment when we got our estimates. We don't mind paying extra for quality, but we actually liked the Spectrum representative better than the other two. Fast forward to wedding planning and this same representative was flexible enough to meet with us after hours and help us pick wedding songs! Also, I love how the forms are online. Spectrum was definitely more high tech than some of the DJ companies out there. The DJ was on time, played every single song I requested as a "must play" as well as all the selected songs we picked. Overall I thought he did a great job!
GUEST




Spectrum Entertainment provided the dj services and also our photography and they are the best at what they do. I will contiue to use spectrum to be involved and capture the moments for all of our special occasions. They were very professional but relaxed and knowledgeable at the sametime. Would not go anywhere else.
GUEST




Outstanding in every respect. Matt was very professional from start to finish. We highly reccomend Spectrum-Ent.
GUEST




We were extremely pleased with the DJ services. Our guests were on the floor and having a great time during the entire reception. He was very good at getting everyone involved and keeping the event flowing correctly!! THe photographer and videographer were great as well. We are very happy with the results.
GUEST




Simply said...wonderful! The amazing option to select music digitally and then have those selections played was great! The music for the ceremony was everything I wanted it to be (even though I was too nervous to hear it as I walked down the aisle to Ave Maria). The DJ was everything I wanted him to be and I am grateful for his professionalism and service. For all future brides, you could do far worse.
GUEST




Matt Osbourne was our DJ, and he did an amazing job. He got everyone dancing, and people have been telling us they thought the dj was great ever since. I didn't give him any music list, and he did a great job of feeling out the crowd.
GUEST




Jimmy was a great DJ. He was able to provide music amenable to all ages, as well as traditional greek music. The whole process was streamlined and painless. We enjoyed our wedding reception so much and did not want it to end thanks to him.
GUEST




We haven't seen any of our video yet which is why we didn't rate the videography as high as we maybe should. The videographer was fantastic. He always seemed to get the moments that we are going to want to remember, but he wasn't in "everyone's face." He seemed to stay out of the way while capturing the day which was awesome.
GUEST




The DJ was great! He really made our wedding fun for everyone. He played the songs we requested and was very entertaining. The company was very professional and made sure they understood what we wanted for the big day. We also used their wireless microphone for the ceremony which I really recommend!
GUEST




Lou and Tom were great. I have already given their names to several of my friends with weddings in the future. Lou was so helpful with making our selections and Tom was the perfect DJ for our wedding. Everyone had a blast.
GUEST




Spectrum Entertainment was a recommended vendor from our coordinator at the Four Seasons. I interviewed multiple DJs and quickly found that Spectrum were the only ones that had the personality I was looking for! I didn't need anyone that was shy and reserved, I needed someone that was outgoing and fun! Their online planning tool for the songs, timeline and people was very helpful. However, I only wish that more of our must required songs were played. But, I realize that our DJ was reading the crowd and played what he felt was appropriate.Scott Smith was our videographer for the entire day. He was beyond amazing. He was there from the exact moment we scheduled until the very end. He had so much energy and brought so much energy to us. I received so many compliments on his personality and professionalism! And, the photo montage he developed for our rehearsal dinner was better than we imagined! Can't wait to see the video!
GUEST




Brian and I used Dianne Hudson (photographer) and Scott (videographer) for our wedding. They did a fantastic job, and we recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. There are no words that can explain how beautiful the pictures turned out. We thank them for capturing every wonderful moment of our wedding.Brian and Ana Risler
GUEST




How would you feel if you and your husband / wife, after working 50+ hours a week, sacrifice several weekends searching for a DJ, believe you find one, create a "must play" and a "do not play" list, invest additional hours in updating their online database with these selections, only to find out that on your wedding day none of your requests are taken into account. In addition, the minutes leading up to your wedding your DJ pulls you aside to request the correct enunciation of your bridal party names (a definate plus), yet, completely disregards the wedding party announcement when push comes to shove. Surely you would think post wedding that you could have used all this time and energy more wisely. Doug, our DJ, never announced the bridal party, never played our much anticipated must play list, and often times played songs that we had on our "do not play" list. We are a couple that values thinking outside of the box. We are a couple who wanted to be unique in our wedding and hoped to acheive this through the music we played during our wedding (hence the many hours we devoted to the song selections). The last thing we wanted to invest our time, money, and energy doing is going with a DJ that simply presses play on their "cookie cutter wedding playlist" track. The only compliment I have is that the sound was good. If you are truely afraid of stepping outside the box then this is the company for you. If you have the slightest bit of individualism, go elsewhere and spend less.
Vendor response to review
This client has stated false information. Spectrum does provide an online login for clients to use during planning, including our popular “Request List” feature. Here, one can select songs into different categories (“Must Play” and “Play if Possible” and “Do Not Play”). However, once a form has been created, it must be saved by the client in order to submit the list. Live data fields on any web page must be saved or they will be lost! This is exactly what happened to their list…if they indeed had created one. If they spent hours making up a list, we never saw it because they never saved it or submitted it, nor discussed the contents during prior planning. As an administrator to our forms, I have access to every planning form ever created by a Spectrum client and their song list simply is not there! If it was, then the DJ would have properly been prepared with it in hand! During both pre-event planning sessions, their song list was empty so we were never able to discuss the so called contents face to face. Not every client submits a request list so we are easy going and accustomed to this and simply required to feel out the crowd upon making selections. “Play to the people” and “keep the dance floor packed” are typical and achieved by playing “cookie cutter songs” because they absolutely work when we have no other song list in hand. It is unfortunate that some of the songs that were intended on being categorized as a “Do not Play” were played, but we are not mind readers, especially for those who consider themselves “out of the box”. Hey, we are pretty much sick and tired of the Electric Slide” more than anyone, but if we are not directed otherwise and a mom requests it and the dance floor is packed, then what’s the problem? The only specific songs actually submitted where located on the “Reception Planner.” Here, they requested a dozen particular songs to be played during dinner and we can prove that we played every selection by our digital player log for the event. It’s not our problem if the client is running late from post ceremony photos to hear any of those songs while dinner was already being served in the ballroom. They never went up to the DJ to inquire about their list during the event so we had no idea they were displeased. So for any future bride or groom reading this, please feel free to go up and speak to your event vendors during the event if things are not going as expected. Your vendors certainly want to do a great job and if things are off track, it would only take a brief moment to discuss rather than complaining after the event. Speak up! Regarding the wedding party announcement, due to the fact that they were running late, they specifically told the DJ upon reviewing names to go ahead and recognize the wedding party before their introduction and not have them walk specifically into the room as pairs prior to the bride/groom introduction. This would mean that the wedding party would be scattered around the multi-room venue and it cannot be our responsibility if everyone did not hear their name being announced. The wedding planner confirmed that she heard the DJ make the introductions to those in the ballroom. This particular complaint is a far reach and it only stems from not having their intended song list in hand. To prevent future submission problems, the form designer has installed a periodic “reminder to save” pop up window while logged in. In response to their last sentence, if you book a reputable individual DJ service, then most likely you will be spend a lot more money ($1200) and a multi-system company can certainly offer an “outside of the box” service.
GUEST




We used Spectrum Entertainment for our photography( Dianne Hudson), DJ(Jimmy Economos), and videography(Scott Smith).We were blown away with the service and results that we received. Jimmy did a wonderful job. Guests were dancing until the very end( even after the bar closed). The music was great both at the ceremony and reception.We are still receiving messages about what a wonderful time everyone had. Dianne's photograph's exceeded our expectations. She was very respectful of the events of the day yet didn't miss capturing one thing. Hiring the whole team was such a great idea. They all worked so well together and with Chateau Elan (our venue).There was no coordinating that we had to do. They took care of everything. Our pictures are fabulous, our guests were smiling and dancing and we have the video to look forward to watching over and over. I give Spectrum my highest recommendation(and I am very picky. It was my daughter's wedding). If you are considering putting together different vendors I would strongly recommend hiring the whole Spectrum team,you won't be sorry.
GUEST




Didn't use them, and I should have! The ability to choose music online would have been more helpful and easier. Hindsite really is 20/20! Sorry Lou, I screwed up!
Vendor response to review
We at Spectrum certainly appreciate this feedback from a bride that regretfully did not use our service. Generally stated, the DJ position is an entry point into the Entertainment Industry and there is a wide range of pricing. Spectrum is proud to have been a leader in the Atlanta market for over 20 years and very confident with our detailed planning and experienced staff. With 25 profiles on current roster, our pricing is more than the beginners and less than some individual providers. We suggest for all future brides to fully understand the value of service and its impact on the overall success of your event before setting an entertainment budget.
GUEST




Our DJ was organized, helpful, patient, and honest. He helped us map out the music for our entire wedding ceremony and reception. He did an amazing job and I would definitely hire him again for any future event.
GUEST




I love Spectrum!! I enjoyed working with them very much and would recommend them to even the pickiest of brides. I used Spectrum for my photography and music, both ceremony and reception, and everything was perfect. I worked with DJ Scott Mikell and he was so thorough with our song requests. He was super fun and had everyone out on the dance floor! Diane Hudson was our photographer and she was so sweet and easy to work with, as was her assistant, Brittany. They both did a beautiful job on our pictures!
GUEST




Great DJ, good select of song lists, professional at all times. Works very well with your requests.
GUEST




We hired Jimmy E as our DJ for our wedding. Very professional in appearance; however, I was extremely unhappy with the lack of songs played on my playlist. I spent HOURS developing my playlist and I only had approximately 2-3 hours worth of songs on the list for the entire wedding/reception. A good portion of those songs were never played. I had a couple of relatives ask why the playlist was not being played during the wedding and Jimmy's response was that it wasn't long enough so he had to add additional songs. That's fine but ALL of my songs need to be played before there is any adding of additional songs. I was pretty annoyed that I had spent so much time on something that wasn't even fully used!

The best part about this company is the great way you are able to set up your play list. Leading up to the event, you are provided a website in which to fill out all your event information as well as request songs and/or genres of music to be played at your event. If the song is not listed, they will find it for you.Everyone had a great time at our wedding reception, dancing the night away thanks to the great music! A perfect blend of our tastes and songs all the guests would enjoy!
GUEST




Great DJ, good select of song lists, professional at all times. Works very well with your requests.
GUEST




They were a fabulous group of DJ's and showed up early and went over everything with me. It was an amazing experience.

BRIDES BEWARE!!!!! LOU GUZZO CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO US SO WE BOOKED HIM IN JUNE 2008 FOR A MAY 2009 WEDDING!!! THE WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING HE LEAVES A MESSAGE THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE WEDDING OR RECEPTION BECAUSE OF PERSONAL PROBLEMS TO MUCH INFORMATION!! HE PRECEDED TO TELL ME ALL ABOUT, BUT HE IS SENDING A VERY QUALIFIED DJ TO TAKE HIS PLACE!!! WELL HE SENT A DEAD FISH IN THE SEA BY THE NAME OF ANDY!!! PAID FOR 2 SOUND SYSTEMS, THE SOUND SYSTEM FOR THE CEREMONY DID NOT WORK SO HE USED THE SOUND SYSTEM FOR THE RECEPTION WHICH WAS IN A SEPERATE BUILDING AND DID NOT PLAY THE MUSIC ACCORDING TO THE TIME LINE AT ALL SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THE CEREMONY WAS A DISASTER. THEN THE DISASTER CONTINUES WITH ANDY AT THE RECEPTION, COULD NOT HEAR THE BRIDAL PARTY INTRODUCTION AT ALL AND THAT WAS THE ONLY WORDS HE SPOKE ALL NIGHT!! NEEDLESS TO SAY HE DID NOTHING TO GET THE CROWD INVOLVED!!THANK GOODNESS FOR OUR FAMILY DANCING, WE COULD HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT SPECTURM'S HELP!!! THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER THE EVENT WAS PATHETIC, CHRIS AND LOU, IN TRYING TO GET A REFUND ON THIS DISASTER! TOOK MONTHS TO GET A SMALL PORTION OF IT BACK!! BRIDES, THIS IS TO BE ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE! TAKE MY ADVICE AND KEEP LOOKING, DON'T SETTLE FOR THIS!! OUR DAUGHTER GETTING MARRIED=PRICELESS/THIS COMPANY=WORTHLESS!!!
Vendor response to review
Yes we did have a last minute replacement due to a personal emergency and had to react in a moments notice. Spectrum is prepared with backup procedures for every event and Andy was scheduled as our backup DJ that weekend. It was raining prior to the ceremony and the overall tension was high on location. He decided not to set up the ceremony system outside on the threat of more rain so he decided to use the inside system instead with relocating his speakers outside. The coordinator did not direct him when the music was to be faded for each song so he had a challenging time with the music cues. We refunded her the entire ceremony fee and Andy learned a valuable lesson that you must have a line of sight with the coordinator for every outdoor ceremony.During the reception, he did make ALL of the important announcements, including Introductions and played all of the requested music on her planners. The party picked up after the cake (typical) and her guests danced for the rest of the event. He gauged and reacted to the crowd and received many compliments by her guests.The real issue was unfortunately the fact that Spectrum was not able to provide the DJ that she was expecting due to unforseen circumstances. In these situations by experience, the replacement DJ always has a more difficult time pleasing the client. It is very rare that he makes a bigger service impression than the one they were originally expecting, because weddings are a very emotional event. We are truly sorry for her disappointment and we promptly offered her a partial refund.
GUEST




Our DJ, Lou, was phenomenal! He was so organized and knew exactly what he was doing! We had great communication before the wedding. The day of, I was a mess. Lou took over and did an excellent job! He played songs everyone liked and that were appropriate for all our guests! Lou was fun and very entertaining all night!
GUEST




Our DJ was Jim. He did a great job and all our friends really loved the music selection. We picked out some songs beforehand & he adapted to the genre of the song selection. Everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Our wedding was only partially in English so he figured everything out pretty well. Jim also adapted to the last minute changes of the reception timeline & coordinated everything with our MC & photographers. We ended the reception earlier than anticipated so Jim stayed around & played background music until most people left.The one glitch we had was he couldn't find the song to our 1st dance so we dance to another song. Later, he found the song so we danced to it too. We were pretty happy with having two first dances.Spectrum also went out of their way to educate our outdoor venue around having speakers & regulating the noise levels. Overall, we had a great experience with everyone we dealt with at Spectrum. I would highly recommend them.One thing that sort of threw us back was we had to select the music for every events during the reception & some more. I'm not sure if this is the norm. Before this, I was under the impression that you tell the DJ your 1st dance song & music style & he would have everything for you. So we ended up spending a good amount of time before the wedding picking out music.
GUEST




Jimmy Economos was awesome! He followed up on our songlist, played some traditional Irish songs during dinner, and was a hit with everyone. He knows how to read the crowd and vary the music.
GUEST




The music was beautiful and amazing. I really enjoyed their music along with my wife. Everyone was dancing.
GUEST




My DJ was Jimmy Economos and he did a fantastic job! There were people dancing the entire reception and I recieved many compliments on the music. My husband and I had a fantastic time because Jimmy took care of everything.. we loved it!
GUEST




The DJ was very professional and organized. He was able to give great suggestions. My only comment is that he could have read the crowd a little more to keep the party going. Overall, everyone had a great time!
GUEST




Matt Osbourn was our DJ for both our ceremony music and our reception. He was amazing! He was extremely helpful in selecting ceremony music that was right for us- both something traditional and not the same as everyone else. My husband and I selected songs we liked, songs we had to have, and songs that we never want to hear again; and, Matt created the perfect balance. Everyone danced, even my grandmother who is known for never dancing (and didn't dance at my cousin's wedding a few months prior)! His timing was spot on and his personality is wonderful.
GUEST




Matt was the best. FABULOUS! He was so thorough and really helped us pick out certain songs. He was the best!
GUEST




I can't say enough about how great Spectrum was. They were affordable and flexible. They were responsive and helpful. Tom Russo was my DJ, and he was just what I was looking for... he was composed and professional, he played exactly the songs I had asked for (and none of the ones I didn't want!) and even made a last minute change on our groom/mother dance. Everyone danced and had a great time, and no one complained that my DJ was "cheesy" or talked too much. I would recommend Spectrum to anyone!
GUEST




My DJ was Eric and he was amazing, he even got people to get up and dance and taught them some steps..every one loved him. Dianne Hudson was our photographer and is did an amazing job, she was friendly, easy going and very flexible. The pictures are so beautiful that all our friends took her number to do family pictures.Joe was our Videographer and he did a good job putting the wedding DVD together, he does any editing you need and makes it unique. I will use Spectrum again for all our special occasions, they were more than professional and very friendly at the same time.
GUEST




Spectrum was great! I highly recommend them!
GUEST




Spectrum provided great service at our reception and kept everyone dancing. However, things were not totally smooth in the planning phase. Our DJ consistently made mistakes in our event timeline leading up to the wedding and it took us several attempts to get it corrected so it matched the other vendors.The other issue I had was that 4 days before our wedding the DJ said he could not find the song we wanted played for the bride and groom's first dance. We had met with him a couple of months prior to the wedding and gave him the song choice so it was frustrating to get this news so late. My husband ended up buying the song on Amazon and sending it to the DJ but in my opinion this should have been handled during our final meeting or shortly thereafter, and NOT 4 days before the wedding.
GUEST




Our DJ, Scott Mikkel was wonderful. He agreed to stay an extra half hour for a small additional fee and was very meticulous about playing the songs we wanted and checking with us before playing anything we had blacked out, even if requested by our guests. I was very pleased with their service.




Spectrum did a great job! They helped guide us to songs that would flow together well and keep our group moving. I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone else.
GUEST




We used Dianne Hudson as our wedding photographer. SHE IS HORRIBLE!!!!! It has been about a year and half since our wedding and we apparently will never ever have even a remotely decent photo of our wedding day! Since Dianne was so grossly incompetent we have had to take our dvd of photos she gave us to two other photographers to try to see if they could do something with them. Basically very little can be done because of the poor quality of Dianne's photos. PLEASE DO NOT USE SPECTRUM IF YOU WANT A PHOTO OF YOUR SPECIAL DAY! You are better off having a family member use a throw away camera. You will get better results!
GUEST




I can not say enough nice things about our DJ! We were so impressed! So many people after the wedding could not stop commenting on how fun...yet professional the DJ was. He knew exactly how to keep people dancing and having a good time. They are reliable...on time kinda people and that made us not have to worry about anything on the wedding day. Thank you for making our reception a night everyone...young and old... will remember for years to come!
GUEST




This was an overall good experience. The only problem we had is that we met with one person to set up our contract and music list, then had a different DJ. The DJ apparently did not get our list of music we wanted to hear. We had a list of a lot of 80's music and we only got to hear one song from the 80's and one of our guests had to request that. So I would make sure I met with the DJ before to make sure you are on the same page about music.
GUEST




Charles Rutterbush did a fantastic job for us. Our only complaint: not enough time for dancing!
GUEST




This company was very easy to work with. Doug Knight was my DJ and he was prompt and flexible since the ceremony was changed at the last minute from outside to inside. He definitely helped the flow of the day. We would use this company and this DJ again.
GUEST




After our intial meeting with Spectrum and our first several emails with our contact, we stopped hearing from him. We started to shop around again, but eventually heard from someone else with the company and decided to stay with them. We did not regret this decision! We had a great reception. Everyone had fun! The music was exactly what we wanted, the tone was approprate, and the DJ's personality was great! The evening started out with softer, older music and as the reception progressed and older people headed home, things got more current and a little louder. Our friends and relatives all had a great time and we did too.

We booked Scott Mikell as our DJ and could not have been happier. The contact people in the office were wonderful and very helpful. We actually chose Scott based on his reviews from the website and were very pleased. They have a list of songs that they give you to mark ones you don't want and ones you definitely want and we did not do that. Despite our lack of help Scott was perfect. All we requested was that everything be tailored to the age groups there at any time and that there be no specialty songs like the Macarena or YMCA. He was amazing, everyone loved it and we had all ages dancing at any given time. I would highly recommend Spectrum and Scott for any event.

This company is great to work with. The DJs are great and now how to get a party going. I had a conservative church group but my Dj got them all on the dance floor partying it up. They have every song that you can think of and they don't have the song and you want they get if for you, no problems. These men have a great deal of experience and now how run a reception smoothly. In addition to this they know music so they know what songs will sound great doing those "special moments". The price is nothing for the level of service you receive! I highly recommend!!!

They say that Spectrum is the best, and I believe it. We worked with Matt Osborne and he was fantastic!! He played everything we asked him to play, guided us through the reception (thank God someone did!!), and best of all, he was very considerate of my request to make sure my dad had a place to sit down during the bride/groom dance and other times when guests would be standing for a long period of time. Actually, I think he may have made it his personal goal to make sure my dad was okay! It truly eased my mind in ways I can't describe.Prior to the wedding, we met w/ Matt for a consultation and he immediately understood that we didn't want a slew of cheesy music. His suggestions were immediately customized to our taste, and he saved us a ton of time. An added bonus, Matt had DJ'ed at our venue before, so he was familiar with the electrical setup there and was able to advise us on the best layout of the venue with regards to to setting up the DJ table, speakers, etc.We were also at peace of mind knowing that we were working with a group that had several DJ's so that if anything happened that Matt wasn't available on the day of our wedding, someone would be there. I never wanted to put all of my eggs in one basket in terms of a DJ....so Spectrum was perfect for us.
GUEST




We used Matt Osborne from Spectrum Entertainment as our DJ for both our ceremony and reception. He was great - obviously knew was he was doing and had handled weddings at our venue (Anthony's) before, plus was very understanding and receptive about the kinds of things we wanted and didn't want.
GUEST




The company is very professional and easy to deal with. The music selection of our DJ was a little disappointing, though. He accomodated us by playing the music we wanted for dinner, and this was great. If you go with Spectrum, I recommend talking to their DJs very specifically before the event starts so that everyone is on the same page.
GUEST




I believe we used Matt, the owner. He was great to work with. Had a blast!
GUEST




Absolutely great job with the music selection, recommending songs and helping us pick out songs for the special moments at the reception. Very cheap for all the work they did too!!
GUEST




I really loved Matt Osborne who was our MC on our wedding day...he made it all very special and unique to our portuguese/hispanic/caucasian wedding...it was a blast!!
GUEST




I was not satisfied with my first engagement video (I didn't provide enough pictures) and he happily redid it for me. He was happy to be at the wedding, shot all of the important people and my video turned out great!
GUEST




The DJ was very helpful. we only had to meet up with him once (although it was a little difficult to schedule our meeting as he did events over the weekend,) we emailed him our song choices, and were pretty much done. He already had a relationship with our reception site (Anthony's on Piedmont,) so he worked well with them and made our reception very memorable. Listened to our requests and "got the crowd going" when needed.
GUEST




Our DJ was the best! He played all the songs we loved, he helped announce things (like our first dance, when we cut the cake,etc.) You could tell he was paying attention to everything and how people responded to the songs so he could keep playing upbeat songs. We even decided to keep him on for an hour longer than we'd scheduled him to be there and it was no problem. They just sent us a bill for the extra hour in the mail. Spectrum is pretty pricey but trust me .... you get what you pay for! I made a huge mistake by not getting them to do our wedding video. I paid half the price with another company but it took them over 6 months to get the video to us and it was a very poor quality.
GUEST




Not happy with Spectrum at all and they did my videography too. The DJ played every song I had on my DO NOT PLAY list and had to be told to stop. When I asked him where my song selections were he stated that he never received them which was CRAP. I had e-mailed them to him and his boss and both confirmed receipt. It was awful. My bridesmaids had to contanstly go up to him and tell him what to play. If he had played Shania Twain one more time, I would have tackled him.
GUEST




Richard Gray was our DJ. We loved having him because he is one of these dj's who doesnt take the spotlight. Some people may prefer to have someone loud and gets the crowd going. Richard was the perfect mix of creating a fun party without being overbearing or loud. He also has years of experience and played everything we asked for. We would hire him again in a second for any other party we host.
GUEST




Spectrum Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding. At the planning session, Matt at Spectrum helped us pick out our ceremony music and other songs for the reception. Our DJ Todd, showed up on time to the wedding and did an awesome job. The dance floor was never empty!
GUEST




We got a DJ in addition to the band since we were planning the wedding outside we didnt know if musician would carry well in our space. I wanted really strong, clear music and thought that CDs would be better. We were pleased with the music played during the ceremony. He adjusted when our Rabbi mixed things up a bit and played everything exactly as specified. For the most part the music during the reception was what we wanted. He did play one song we had requested not be played when it was requested by a family member. We were also appalled to hear him play Who Let the Dogs out and it cleared the dance floor. Again, another guest request. To the djs credit, it was not on the do not play list. We did request that he only made announcement when necessary and not introduce songs or talk a lot and he followed that rule exactly.
GUEST




Spectrum provided an amazing one-stop shop for our entertainment. We loved our string quartet, our DJ Brad and our videographer was amazing. I also recommended Brad (DJ) to my maid of honor for her wedding - and he was great there as well! He was fun, outgoing and kept the party going. Everyone was great!
GUEST




Our reception venue recommended this DJ service and had worked with Matt Osbourne before. Matt was not able to do our wedding, so we had Charles Rutterbush. Compared to the price of everything else we paid for for the wedding, I thought the price was great! We ended up at the reception later than we had thought, but the DJ was ready to accomendate for the lost time and make sure everything was ft into the time allowed and still flowed smoothly.
