GUEST




The lighting that was provided truly set the mood for what we were looking for. Uplighting is properly often overlook and can make a big difference. The selection of music was spot on and we had a wonderful experience with our wedding reception at Tavern in the Garden.
GUEST




Thank you very much for everything, You guys did a great job, I am very happy that I found you.
GUEST




Bryan did an amazing job! We received nothing, but compliments of his professionalism, quality of music and ability to mix songs. We were very happy and pleased with the services he provided. We would recommend him for any event you are looking to plan!
GUEST




Jimmy at Tagas was very flexible and worked with the type of music I wanted for my BIG day. Also, the monogram lighting was breathtaking and he was able to shine it on the golf course behind the reception, from which i heard guests talking about throughout the night. He got the guests up and dancing and kept the dance floor full all throughout the night....i would definitely use him again.
Also, the lighting and atmosphere that was within the room throughout the night set the mood for my guests....
GUEST




I loved my DJ. I think the best weddings can be rated on whether or not your guests get on the dance floor. Our guests danced the night away! Jim played the best music throughout the evening. Tagas DJs are not cheesy or loud. In fact they play music that you want to hear and have a great playlist of their own. Our DJ Jim took care of us and we had a wonderful time. I would recommend Tagas to anyone.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!!
Let me tell you, my reception was one of the best days of my life. I had told myself that come my wedding day, I am dancing my butt off!!! The stress of planning a wedding was catching up with me and dancing is one of my favorite ways of relieving stress.
Bryan with Tagas was AWESOME!! Not only did I dance the night away, but my guests told me over and over how much fun they had dancing at my reception!! He played the songs that were so special to me and my husband!! He kept the floor alive and moving and did just the right amount of interaction with the guests. He even taught us a new dance!! We also had them do our uplighting which was beautiful!! I look back on pictures and love love love the lighting!!!
My ceremony was outdoors and he was able to accommodate for everything - the musical selections, the guest who sang for us, etc.
My wedding day with regards to music was perfect. I couldn't have asked for more. Go with Tagas!!! You will not be sorry!!!
Thank you Bryan, for such a great time!!!! We enjoyed every...
GUEST




Bryan did an excellent job of providing lighting for our space, and provided music perfectly for the ceremony. We are told the cocktail hour music was enjoyable. The reception music was not entirely what we’d wanted, but it did include a small handful of our requested songs. He was very receptive to our guests’ requests for floor space or time towards the end of the night to perform “special” tributes for us. Good attitude overall.
GUEST




Talk about the life of the party!!! We used Brian and payed the extra and it was so worth it. We had EVERYONE, even people that don't dance, dancing on the floor!!! He did everything I asked him to and was very on time and professional. I asked for no rap and he kind of still played it but once I told him to stop he did. He then played ALL the music we had talked about, made my entrance amazing and everything I asked for. Everyone was asking who our DJ was. I HIGHLY recommend him! He's awesome! He is worth every penny and he was amazingly helpful. He also did our up lighting and did a great job. He works with your budget and really knocks all other DJs.
GUEST




Bryan from Tagas was amazing. They provided DJ services for ceremony and reception and also provided our lighting. Everything went smoothly for the ceremony and the reception. He kept the dance floor packed the whole night and had a great selection of music. They have a planning packet to fill out prior to your wedding day to make sure they have everything prepared and ready to go so that there is no question on the day of the wedding. As for lighting we had up-lighting, pin spotting, market lights, and starry night laser lights. Yes, we had market lights at our indoor reception. Bryan helped bring all of our unique lighting ideas to life. During dinner our up lights were all yellow with our market lights on and for the reception they were blue and the market lights were off and you could see the stars and cloud lasers on the ceiling to give a feeling of being outdoors. It all looked wonderful and gave the room a perfect atmosphere.
GUEST




Unfortunately, I cannot talk to the "quality of service" of the wedding video for our daughter. WHY? Because we STILL have not received what we purchased with the wedding video package FIVE MONTHS since our daughters wedding!! We have repeatedly been contacting Tagas regarding the status of completion and we get the same response, "I can't provide a date". This has become unacceptable. So, if you are a parent who is looking to purchase the video services from Tagas, you need to rethink this. And if you are a bride/groom who would like to receive their wedding video in a timely basis, you need to look elsewhere.
I will provide a positive statement for Tagas, which is we used all their services, DJ/Lighting/Video. Taga's DJ services is fabulous and we had the best DJ who all the guests raved about. And the lighting services was also wonderful. So, it is quite disappointing to have to provide this negative feedback on their video services. But, again, after 5 months and still no wedding videos, it has become unacceptable.
GUEST




Tagas Entertainment of Orlando provided the DJ, Videography, and Lighting services for our daughter's reception on June 30th, 2012 and they were FANTASTIC!!!! From the minute we initially talked with Bryan Taylor, President of Tagas, about the services they could provide for our daughter's wedding, all the way through till the end of the evening on the 30th, their services were OUTSTANDING! Tagas is easy to work with and extremely responsive to any questions or changes we wanted to make.
When we walked into the ballroom at the reception, the blue uplighting, spotlights, and bride/groom initial spotlight on the wall was breathtaking!!! And let me RAVE about BJ, the DJ!!! He was fabulous and we heard nothing but praises throughout the night about the songs he played. When we, as parents, heard "this was THE best reception I've ever been to" from multiple people throughout the evening, we have to give a lot of the credit to Tagas Entertainment!!!!!! We are excited to view the wedding video they are creating once completed. I'm completely confident that it will turn out beautifully, based on our experiences with them. :-)
My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Tagas Entertainment to any Bride/Parent(s) as their choice of vendor for DJ/Videography/Lighting!!! I can guarantee you will be extremely happy and satisfied!!! If I could give them a 10 - I would. :-))
Thank you Tagas Entertainment for helping make our daughter's reception a resounding SUCCESS!!!!
GUEST




I interviewed three DJs for our wedding and just knew after I met Bryan that his company was the one. Bryan was so easy to talk to, that I felt I had known him forever. Bryan was always quick to responsed to my emails, available for meetings and flexible with my last minute changes. He was on time and dressed professionally as our wedding was at 10am on a golf course. He completely understood my vision and he made it happen. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. You can't go wrong with Bryan and Tagas Event & Production.
GUEST




We had such a wonderful time at our wedding, and cannot wait to see the video from the big day!! We had DJ, lighting, and videography services! The lighting looked absolutely gorgeous in the room we used (20Seven @ Buena Vista Palace), and the DJ was a lot of fun!! There were a few songs/genres that we had requested to be played that were missed, but at the end of the night, everyone had a WONDERFUL time and we always had people out on the dance floor!! :) Thank you!
GUEST




During our first consultation with Bryan he had an availability for our wedding date. We were happy with our meeting and looked forward to booking his services for our wedding day. A short time went by and we hadn't heard from his company about sending over a contract for us to reserve our date. We later learned that he had been booked for another event that was to be held on our wedding date as well. We were disappointed! However, a short time later the other event fell through and we were able to reserve his services for our date after all.
Bryan was very accommodating, and even created a custom mix for my recessional. He played the music we wanted him to, and our guests had a great time on the dance floor. Our only suggestion is better communication between him and his business manager as to avoid double booking issues in the future.
GUEST




Tagas was extremely easy to work with. I hired them to provide uplighting at my wedding. Bryan was always quick to get back to me, and Michael called a couple days before my wedding to go over exactly what I wanted. Everything was set up perfectly when I entered my reception, and they took care of everything afterwards. Couldn't have asked for anything better! They took care of everything!
GUEST




We were married this past Saturday, and Tagas provided video, lighting, and DJ services. The day went extremely smoothly, the lighting was great, and we were very happy with everything. The company is extremely professional and prepared. We would highly recommend them to any of our friends.
GUEST




We first heard Tagas at Bridal Show hosted by our Venue, and knew instantly we would be booking them for our Wedding. Bryan Taylor is arguably one of the greatest DJ's I've heard at any event we've attended! His personality made it extremely easy to work with through-out the planning process, and his creativity matched our "not-so-normal" requests for our off-beat Ceremony AND Reception. He far exceeded our expectations of our day would go! His guest interaction was incredible, and his ability to read the crowd and tend to everyone's needs left us dancing 'til well into the night. Which actually resulted in us extending our hours and he was beyond willing to stay until we couldn't stay on our feet any longer.
Thank-you for helping to make our big day beyond what we could've imagined. The tone/flow of our event fit our personalities to a "T"...thank-you for making that happen!!!
If you are getting married, or even thinking about it, BOOK TAGAS! It will be one of the best decisions you could make for your all important day!

We recently had Bryan DJ our wedding and it was undoubtedly the highlight of the wedding! The crowd was dancing all night long and we got so many compliments about how fantastic the DJ was. Tagas was worth every penny. Wish we could get married again just so we could have them DJ! :)
GUEST




Tagas Event and Production Services made my wedding day an event that will be the hot topic of my friends and relatives for years to come! The lighting was picturesqueness, exactly as I imagined it would be. The videographer was punctual and pleasant and always on point shooting video. The DJ (Bryan) had everyone out on the dance floor all night, playing all the right tunes to fit our guest's preferences perfectly. I wanted a wedding with sophistication and high energy without the cheese of the chicken dance and electric slide. Bryan delivered exactly what I envisioned. I would highly recommend Tagas to all my friends and relatives. Thanks for doing an impeccable job at our wedding Tagas!
GUEST




Bryan was fantastic! He kept the party going all night long and our guests loved him. The lighting was perfect and made our venue even more amazing.
GUEST




I had gotten a review from a friend who said they were a lot of fun at her wedding and it is true. Tagas is very professional and they know what they are talking about when it comes to wedding music! We had a ton of fun!
GUEST




We hired Tagas for our lighting. We got a pretty large package and it was worth every penny. My dad describes walking into the room as "walking into a wonderland". We did blue uplighting, purple ceiling color wash lighting and a variety of dance floor and band stage lighting. It was exactly the "party" ambiance that I wanted for the reception. It was really great and I loved it so much.
GUEST




They say that your DJ can make or break your wedding! Very true. Tagas provided several services for us (music for both the ceremony and the reception, GOBO design, and our wedding video). Bryan made sure our wedding was a blast. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end. We chose a few songs that we definitely wanted played but we gave him free reign for the rest of the time. Everybody had a wonderful time. The GOBO design looked amazing (it had our names and our wedding date). We are still waiting for our video but we are sure it will be awesome as well. Bryan was willing to meet with us when we had questions, he was very responsive to emails, and he was always very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Tagas to all of our friends and family.
GUEST




OMG, Thanks to Jimmy and Tagas. We are now known as the couple who knows how to party!!!! Jimmy was so understanding and flexible with last minute changes. We use them for our lighting and videography. The lighting was absolutely awesome. Our family and friends all say " Jimmy knows how to keep a party going" There was times I the bride found it hard to stay off the dance floor. We havent recieved our video yet, but, we are sure it will be awesome, too. Again THANKS Jimmy! YOU ROCK!!!

GUEST




Bryan and his team were so professional and outstanding! I booked them just a few short months before my wedding due to losing another dj I had hired earlier and I in no way regret booking Tagas events for my wedding. They took every idea we had for our wedding and were able to incorporate it and to ways I couldn't even imagine! It was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better dj service and would recommend it to anybody looking for a dj!
GUEST




Tagas was professional and easy to work with. We had them booked for four hours but our dj stayed all night. I would highly recommend asking for Marco, he was fun, energetic, and guaranteed everyone had a great time. Everyone has told me how much fun they had and how impressed they were with our dj!
GUEST




Bryan was an amazing DJ! I cannot tell you how many people came up to us during our wedding to tell us how great the DJ was. We had a blast and never left the dance floor and neither did anyone else. The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE time. Bryan worked with us so well leading up to the wedding; he was so easy going with all our requests before the wedding and during the wedding. He was professional, diligent with all my correspondence, and made the planning process that much easier for me. I will be recommending him to anyone needing DJ services!
GUEST




We loved Jimmy!
GUEST




Bryan was the perfect DJ for our daughter's wedding. We first met the Tagas team at the Bridal Show in Orlando in June, 2010 and they had the place hopping. We met with Bryan at his studio and from there were able to coordinate everything either over the phone or e-mail.
The wedding was beautiful and the reception music was perfect. Bryan had the dance floor full all evening.
We would recommend Bryan to anyone looking for a very professional DJ!
Thanks Bryan!
GUEST




From the moment we sat down and met with Bryan I knew he was going to be our DJ! He is young, fun, energetic, exactly what we were looking for! I really never had to worry about Bryan the entire planning process. He was quick to reply back to e-mails and everything was always great.
We got Bryan as our DJ and also got uplighting, monogram, and cake pin spot for our reception. Come wedding day when we walked into that room it was AMAZING! The lighting really transformed the room beautifully and everything looked perfect. We were so pleased. Bryan was very energetic whenever he announced things throughout the wedding, and got all our music right. He was great and our reception was a blast!! He played a lot of younger music and minimal Spanish music ( like i had ask) and it was the perfect mix. Everyone was up and dancing and I had some of our older guests even say they'd never have so much fun and danced so much!! Both our parents even got out and danced and they are NOT dancers haha We loved every second of it and people are still talking about what a crazy fun reception it was! We cannot thank Bryan enough!! Book him as your DJ and you will NOT be disappointed =)
GUEST




Tagas was one of the first vendors I booked and I was nervous because a DJ can make or break your reception. When we first met with Bryan, the owner, he made a really good impression. We booked about a month later. Bryan is very professional and he responds quickly to all communications. We paid the extra for Bryan to be our DJ and it was so worth the money! He was amazing. We never left the dance floor. He dress appropriately and I loved how he mixed new music into older music. He was one of the best vendors we booked!!!
GUEST




Tagas was wonderful. Bryan was an incredible DJ and the wedding was amazing!
GUEST




Bryan was our dj. He did a good job. All my guests enjoyed all the music played!
GUEST




It was a wonderful pleasure to work with Brian, Paul, and the Tagas Team. All of them really made us feel fantastic through the whole planning process. I'm so pleased with my choice for them to do our video. It really felt like everything I wanted to remember is documented in the best way. Thank you guys so much!
GUEST




Bryan with Tagas was spectacular! Shannon from Big City recommended me to him. I had a 100 person wedding at Lake Mary Events Center and Tagas provided the DJ, Videography and uplighting. The venue was beautiful and he did an amazing job with the music. I had a very split reception party, my family were all extremely conservative and friends were not! He did a great job of playing different types of music to keep everyone happy. I haven't seen my video yet but I am sure it will be amazing. They have upgraded all their equipment and the video is in HD! :-) Bryan is absolutely great to work with and is very prompt with responses to emails and very flexible with different packages.
GUEST




TAGAS was amazing! I had so many compliments on our DJ and the lighting at our wedding :) It is $300 more for Bryan Taylor, but he is totally worth it :) Thank you Tagas!!
GUEST




Bryan (aka DJ Tagas) runs a tight ship with Tagas Events. His crew is very professional and are really experts at what they do. The event was great and the DJ was very in-tuned with modern music and events.
Our favorite was the lighting job they did on the room. Making the walls light up to our colors was great and even better was the spotlight on the cake. It really made it the main attraction of the room.
Overall very well done and I would recommend Tagas for any and all events that they could help with. A+++
GUEST




We utilized Tagas for DJ, Videography & Lighting. It was nice to be able to work with one company on so many things. Our DJ did a great job getting the guests on the dance floor. We got a lot of compliments on our lighting which definitely enhanced the room. We look forward to sharing our wedding video with friends & family and being able to relive the moment. We would definitely recommend Tagas for their services.
GUEST




I contacted Bryan 2 months before my event and he was like the cherry on top of the sundae! The monogram was amazing, the lighting, and the dj booth was over the top. The pricing was perfect for everything I got and I thank you for working with me and making our day the talk of the town!
GUEST




Working with Bryan from Tagas was an absolute pleasure. He knew exactly what we wanted and made the entire wedding so much fun. I highly recommend Tagas for any event!
GUEST




We got married Sept. 5th 2010, and we hired Tagas for our ceremony and reception, as well as for lighting. Bryan was our DJ, and without a doubt he was the best. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and I had several people comment on what a great job the DJ did. I have zero complaints, all praise for Bryan! Paul was the videographer, and although I haven't received the video yet, I'm very excited to see it! Although I did see him everywhere, he was never in the way. And the lighting -- at first we were thinking of not doing it to save some money, but after we saw the difference it made I can easily say it was worth every cent. Thank you Bryan for all your help! I would HIGHLY recommend Bryan and the Tagas crew for any event.
GUEST




I just recently got married on September 4th & my husband and I picked Tagas for D.J., video, & lighting. We couldnt have been happier with their services! Bryan was our D.J. and we got SO many compliments on how awesome of a D.J. he was the night of our wedding!! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night! He also had great recommendations for songs for the ceremony & reception which was very helpful! Our lighting looked amazing! Lighting makes a HUGE difference & I was so pleased with the way ours looked! I havent seen the video yet, but the videographer was running around all night so I'm sure he got some great footage and I cant wait to see it! I would HIGHLY recommend Tagas for any event! & I look forward to seeing them at my friends wedding in December! Thanks guys!!
GUEST




Working with Bryan was an absolute pleasure! He was efficient, responsive, and really listened. Gerry was our dj the day of and did a great job. He was flexible, easy going, and helped us have a great reception!
GUEST




I had a so so feeling about them from the very first email. The only reason I went with them is because my friend had a deposit in with them from her cancelled wedding that she couldn’t get back and they came highly recommended.
My husband and I are very into music and wanted some of our favorite songs played. He said in a few separate emails that not everyone likes the same kind of music and people wont dance to it. I then explained that its okay if not all of it is played but we would like to hear some of our favorite songs (I think I heard about three). He stated later that these were all played during the cocktail hour. Okay fine, disappointed in the fact that he didn’t play more songs on our list, we spent a lot of time on that list, but overall not a big deal, what really upset me was this:
On my wedding day, an hour and a half before my wedding I got a phone call from my caterer saying that we don’t have ceremony music. There is a discrepancy in the "wording" of the contract. Perhaps I misinterpreted it. I was under the understanding that the DJ was playing the music through the venues equipment. He flat out REFUSED to touch it. So, I’m not the freak out type, I just said, “Okay, I’ll handle it”. I had my brother in law control the music and that was fine, I was sad that he didn’t get to see me walk down the aisle though. This is an example of a very menial thing that ALMOST ruined my wedding… Thank god for back up plans. The DJ later said he had a set up ready for the ceremony, I was never called by the DJ to ask whether I wanted this set up, only a slightly panicked call from my caterer.
Overall, the experience was not horrible, he did a good job with the announcing and he played some good music. But the bad attitude and the flat out refusal to play my ceremony music cancelled out the good.
So, bottom line, if you get a bad feeling about someone from the beginning always go with your gut. I didn’t and I regret it.
Vendor response to review
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your feedback regarding our services.
As you mentioned, from our email conversations, I did acknowledge the music choices and voiced some concerns. Most of the songs selected were not upbeat party/dance songs that would encourage dancing. Because of this, I did suggest diversifying the selections a little, to include more dancing oriented songs. Since most of the selected songs were by or were similar to artists like Elvis and Johnny Cash I found them more appropriate for cocktail hour and dinner rather then for dancing. I did save some of the more upbeat ones for early on in the open dancing.
In regards to the ceremony music, I specifically wrote into the contract that sound/music was only for the reception, because at that particular venue, it is not possible for the DJ to see the ceremony location from the DJ set up area, and therefore not possible for us to ensure each song changes at the appropriate time. I brought a ceremony sound system with me just in case you did indeed need music for the ceremony and asked the caterer (a close friend and industry partner) to mention this to you while she was on the phone with you a couple hours before the ceremony.
I was not willing to use the facility's sound system for two reasons: 1. It too, is not in eyesight of the ceremony location, therefore I could not ensure the music would be professionally timed to the pieces of the processional, 2. We can not be responsible for using equipment we do not own or are not familiar with. If I ran the music from your I-pod off of the facility's sound system there are a lot of unfamiliar items involved, and therefore too many possibilities that something could go wrong.
Because of these reasons, we offer professional ceremony sound systems set up within eyesight of the ceremony location to ensure everything runs flawlessly. This option was made available to you, however was declined. We work hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and professionally and a big part of that is using the proper equipment.
Also, I feel it is worth mentioning, the party was a great success with non-stop dancing, an extra hour of service added on and many compliments from your guests afterward.
GUEST




We were very happy with our DJ services! Marco was our DJ and he was very entertaining and could adapt at a moments notice! We have yet to receive our video yet.
GUEST




The DJ was actually the one thing my husband wanted to have a say in. The second we met with Bryan the guys hit it off! I was very positive we were going to have great music.
The day of the wedding I couldnt believe how amazing Bryan was. My darling husband told me he would dance only alittle bit at the reception bc he doesnt dance much! Well I couldnt get him off the dance floor all night! Thanks Bryan for making our wedding amazing and listening to us and not everyone else!!!

We talked to Bryan and he had a lot of good recommendations for lighting as he has done a lot of weddings at our venue. He provided the custom GOBO, purple uplighting on all walls, pinspotting on all guest table centerpieces, pinspotting on the sweetheart table, pinspotting on the cake table, and textured lighting on the ceilings.
The reception room looked amazing and the lighting really created a gorgeous look. When I first saw the room, I thought I was in Platinum Weddings. That is due largely to the lighting and flowers. Bryan was easy to work with and did exactly what he was hired to do.
GUEST




5 stars all around! I am a wedding planner and decided to have a destination wedding in Palm Coast, FL. at Hammock Beach Resort. Because of my profession, I see a LOT and am very used to the same vendors that I KNOW will do the job I ask of them. It was very stressful for me hiring new vendors that I found online, like most of you, but I could not have picked a better lighting and DJ than Tagas! Bryan was amazing and his attention to detail was spot on! We had the wedding of our dreams because of all of our vendors, with many thank to Tagas! We can not thank Bryan and everyone else @ Tagas for making our dream a reality! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
GUEST




We used Tagas for the DJ service and we were very pleased. We really enjoyed our meeting with Bryan. Our DJ's name was Gerry and he was really cool. He touched base with me the day before the wedding to review the itinerary one last time. All the songs that we requested were played. He was very helpful & flexible during the reception when I suggested an impromptu dance for my mom and my brother. He quickly came up with a song that was perfect for the dance. Gerry was prepared and handled everything smoothly and professionally. I would definitely recommend hiring Tagas to any happy couple planning their wedding!
GUEST




Tagas was the worst experience I had with any vendor. There were some phone calls or e-mails back to me after we called the owner directly. I went with Tagas for my DJ, videography and lighting. The lighting is there only saving grace because that was fantastic. Their professionalism was completely non-existent. They were late to one of our appointments and they blamed this on me because they said we wrote the wrong time down. Funny how we were told the meeting was at 5:00 and they had another one following us at 6:00. So when we went back at 6:00 after finally getting a phone call they still were not there. But she finally made it at 6:15. But its okay because according to them they live on their appointments and would never be late. But I guess 15 minutes is not late. They never made confirmation calls or e-mails and worst of all they never even gave the DJ my final itinerary. When my husband and I went to dance to our first song, they played the wrong on. Now again I guess this was my fault because when they DJ was talking to us as we were waiting to make the entrance, I told him our first dance was Kenny Chesney but yet he played Tim McGraw. I guess it was hard to keep up with all the changes I made because I guess I was not allowed to change my mind about anything. And they also said the wrong name for a blessing. One of my changes I had made was the name of that person and they announced the first one. I had also crossed out a ton of songs that I did not want to be played at our wedding and had discussed this with my coordinator but that message did not get relayed because those songs were played. I failed to write do not play next to them I guess. Who thought scratching through songs would not work the same. Also, our DJ had a terrible body odor. I would not recommend this company to anyone!
I am glad Bryan can try to save face with possible future clients by trying to make it look like everything that went wrong was my fault and none of you or your company I am glad he had time to reply to this review but you didnt have time to reply to my email just like you and your assistant Christine never had time to reply to some of our calls or emails. But its okay because after this initial posting and one by my mother you did have time to reply to our e-mails. And they were not very nice. I am glad you know where myself and my mother work now. According to your last e-mail of the one where you contacted your lawyer I hope this meets all your requirements of me trying to give the world my honest opinion of your services. All I am trying to do is help other brides not have to deal with the same stuff that I went through with your company. So if this still does not meet you or your lawyers standards(yes brides that is what he told me he called his lawyer on me because I was ruining his reputation) feel free to let me know.
Vendor response to review
Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with us. To be fair though, I would like to present the other side of the story.
Our office staff member who was working with you directly called you personally and your mom back many, many times as evident from our phone records. At final count, you and your mother had made 12 different phone calls to the Tagas office within a 5 day span. Our records indicate that you or your mother were called 9 times during that same span, only once by me personally. I would also like to point out that the communication between the two of you was lacking as we received many calls from each of you about the same questions after we had already answered the other person. It is much easier to plan effectively when one person is handling everything.
With regards to your final meeting, your mother called the Tagas office and spoke with me directly to set up the appointment. I confirmed the day and time with her before hanging up and added the appointment to the calendar while her and I were still on the phone. I can guarantee without a doubt that the agreed upon time was on our calendar. I am sorry if there was some mis-communication between you and your mother, but I assure you we had the correct time on our calendar. We make our living off of appointments, making and keeping hundreds of them every year. I can assure you without question that we are always on time for our meetings. They are our livelihood.
We did not confirm the appointment because your mother made the appointment two days before. Generally when the appointment is made within a few days of the actual appointment we are not going to call to confirm.
The DJ, was emailed the same finalized itinerary that you were, and when you claimed he played the incorrect song at the reception, he showed the itinerary to you. If you check your emails from the Thursday night before the wedding, you will see that not only was it sent to you, but also to the DJ and the Catering Manager at the hotel.
Because you changed the itinerary so many times, our office manager actually wrote in capital red letters across the top "finalized itinerary made on Thursday, April 22nd, changes by Bride Alayna" (paraphrased).
If you remember, you did not have any of your paperwork filled out when you came in for your final meeting, then revised the itinerary more then 5 times in the final week before the wedding. Our office manager asked you for an itemized list of changes the last time to ensure that everything was exactly how you wanted it. Unfortunately, this was not provided to us. This is a clear example of why we ask for every client to submit their completed paperwork 60 days prior to the wedding, to ensure everything is perfect. We are more then flexible as well, but bringing in an essentially blank planning packet, then changing the itinerary every day leading up to the wedding is difficult to say the least.
We have processes in place which have proved effective in coordinating over 2000 weddings. When those processes are completely ignored by the clients, it unfortunately leaves open the possibility of things being missed. We do our best to meet the needs of every client but we do expect the client to do his/her part as well.
Announcing a name wrong...this is the first I am hearing of this, and I find it interesting that you did not mention it in your lengthy email to me. Comparing the video footage to the list of names, I do not hear anything announced incorrectly. Perhaps it was a pronounciation, if that is the case I do apologize.
Do not play list songs...In looking at your paperwork, I do not see a Do Not Play List. Also, when discussing your concerns with the DJ and office manager, they both concur that a Do Not Play List was never submitted. You did cross off some selections from our icebreaker section and the DJ did inform me that he mistakenly played "Shout" which was crossed off. From what I was told, he apologized to you on the spot when you confronted him, but you then noticed that the dance floor was packed, so you agreed to let the song play. From what I was told, that was the only song that you had crossed off on the icebreaker list that was played.
I would like to point a few additional items out. At your request, the DJ was asked to stay an additional hour, in addition to this, your mother presented him with a gratuity at the end of the night. As a rule of thumb, people don't typically tip someone they thought did a poor job. Also, your video was completed and shipped to you in just 2 weeks, an unheard of turn around time. Our normal delivery time as stated on your contract is 6-8 weeks. We did everything that was prudent and reasonable to make you happy.

Tagas was a great choice for our wedding. Bryan was friendly and very knowledgeable. Tagas can work with you if you have no idea what you want or if you want to dictate the event. I was in the former category and absolutely benefited from his help. We ordered dj, lighting, and videography services from Bryan. He played the music I suggested and had great ideas for icebreakers. The lighting was perfect and really set the mood of the event. The video was absolutely my favorite part. They made us a little trailer to go along with the full length video. This 1-2 minute video makes your wedding look like the most exciting day. If I had to do it all again, I'd absolutely book Tagas.
Thanks Bryan!

Tagas Event and Production Services was a great addition to our wedding day. Our DJ, Brian, was able to book us on very short notice and work with us to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. Tagas is accomadating to every situation and creates a custom package to fit the needs of your wedding. I highly recommend their services!

Tagas did my wedding video and I LOVE It!!!!! I didn't even realize the camera was there so I was able to relax, feel at ease, and be natural. the video came out great, the editing was awesome, and all of my music selections made the cut. Very quick turn-around. I had it about one month after my wedding day.
GUEST




The reason that I chose to hire Tagas for my wedding DJ and videographer was because another vendor recommended them and said they were great. Well it was my mistake for taking their word and not doing further research on this particular DJ. Bryan Taylor is the owner and who was our DJ. To start things off Bryan is very hard to get in contact with and cancelled more than one appointment we had with him to go over our wedding details. I was told to fill out this extremely long packet and have it submitted 60 before the wedding the packet basically informed the DJ on our song preferences, first dance, father daughter dance, and so on. After a couple cancelations from Bryan he did finally make time to speak with me but it was the day before wedding and over the phone. On the actual wedding day Bryan was 1-1/2 hours late. He showed up about 5 minutes before I walked down the aisle which was nice considering he DJ'd the ceremony.
The night went by really fast as most weddings do when you are the bride and when it was all over I realized that Bryan never did my bouquet toss or a garter toss(which I had specific songs for each that I had included in the packet). I was really upset because I felt that this was a very important and memorable part in any wedding and definitely not something that should have been forgotten. When I emailed Bryan and addressed the problem he sent me back an email that was very rude. He blamed me for not doing the bouquet toss and garter toss due to the fact that he claimed I ignored him. He didn't even apologize for being over an hour late and again had some excuse for it not being his fault. No one at the wedding remembers him trying to get my attention. He is very unprofessional and can't take responsibility for his own mistakes. I now understand why he always changes his companies name. It was previously Complete Media Group and there are some pretty awful reviews on that company. I also got my videography done by Tagas and it was very very poor quality to say the least. Beware of Tagas Production because you probably won't get what you pay for. I learned the hard way.
Vendor response to review
Kellie,
Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you feel the services you contracted us for did not meet your expectations. Tagas values our client's opinions greatly, but to be fair to potential brides reading your review of our company and to the reputation of Tagas, I must point out a few inaccuracies.
Inaccuracy #1 – Canceled Meetings. I apologize if our schedules made it tough for us to find a time to meet, however I keep regular office hours Tuesday – Friday and am available often times beyond that to meet or speak via telephone with all of our brides. I try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate the schedules of all clients. Looking back over my calendar and all emails between us, I see that we never actually had an appointment, so there was no way I could have canceled one. I have a series of emails between us discussing a time to talk over the phone but there was not a time available due to both of our schedules that would work until the day before the wedding. It is unfortunate that this was the case, however that would not in anyway have negatively affected my knowledge of the plans for your wedding day. Our 7 page planning packet ensures that we have all information needed to make your day run smoothly and just as you would like it to.
Inaccuracy #2 - Late arrival on wedding day. Yes, I did arrive to the venue much later then I had planned and for that I am sorry. I would never want to do anything that would cause one of my clients to worry or be stressed. I left with plenty of time, however 2 separate accidents on I-4 turned a 20 minute trip into a 2 hour trip. I spoke with the videographer so that everyone else could be informed and I arrived as soon as possible. I was able to have the ceremony music playing before most of the guests had even arrived to the ceremony site and was able to remain nearly invisible behind some shrubs. I do apologize if my late arrival did cause concern or stress for you, but I am happy that the ceremony was able to start on schedule.
Inaccuracy #3 - Skipping the Bouquet and Garter tosses. I can assure you that I did not forget about the bouquet and garter tosses. With over 500 weddings performed and a detailed itinerary in front of me throughout the night, I can 100% promise this. Just to be sure, I reviewed the raw footage from the wedding video. On that footage I am clearly seen and heard announcing the garter and bouquet tosses immediately following the cutting of the cake as was scheduled on the itinerary. I am seen announcing these traditions three separate times, over the course of 2 minutes. At one point, the videographer actually tried to hand the bouquet to you and you completely ignored her. I am unsure of what the circumstances surrounding this was and I am sorry that those tosses did not happen but I can assure you that I did not forget about them.
Inaccuracy #4 – Changing the company name. Before Tagas, my business was known as Complete Media Group. Complete Media Group is a franchised business, a franchise of a national company. In the summer of 2008 I left the franchise and started my own independent business under the Tagas name. I did not change the name to escape bad reviews as is claimed. I changed the name because I had to, because we were no longer a franchise of the parent company. In fact, Complete Media Group's profile only had one negative review it was left many months after our name change. The amount of work, time, and cost associated with changing a company’s name is not worth escaping one negative review.
Again, I am truly sorry that your expectations were not met with Tagas. We strive to provide every client with a great experience by exhibiting the utmost care, concern, and respect, and to treat him or her as if they are our only client. I hope that you see by my explanations that I truly cared about your wedding day and did my best to handle the situations that were out of my control to make your day special.

Bryan was great. I really loved the lighting that he provided. He was very helpful the entire night. Thank you Bryan!

One word, phenominal! For my wedding on October 10, 2009, Tagas provided me with DJ and videography services. Jimmy was the DJ and he was excellent, totally fun and even made sure my husband and I had beverages the whole night! Alisha and Matt did the videography and they were so non-invasive I hardly knew they were there! Everyone did a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to hire them again! I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! Bryan Taylor the president of Tagas is very accomodating and eases any concern you may have as a bride! Two big thumbs up! There is no question as to who is the best, Tagas!

My husband and I were SO pleased with Tagas Productions. We have never seen a D.J. transform a party so quickly. Everyone had a blast dancing and laughing (thanks to the groomsmen leading the YMCA dance). We were also very impressed with how oraganized Bryan was. When we met for the first time it was nice to have a packet ready with all the explanations in it. It was very easy to contact him. He made sure that he returned your phone call within hours of leaving a message.
If you are looking for a D.J. Tagas Productions is definitely who you want to go with!

DJ Marco was awesome! He is really great at getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping the guests excited. I pretty much left everything in his hands, and he made it great. I even asked him to warn me when he played the cheesy dances so I wouldn't have to do them (cha cha slide, electric slide, etc) and he did! I am so happy with our decision to go with TAGAS!

It's hard to give Tagas a rating, because the DJ was excellent, but the pre-wedding preparations were very poor. The rating I chose is for the company itself. We had a 9 page booklet to fill out about our wedding including what songs we wanted played and when, etc. We submitted the booklet 60 days before the event as requested and we were supposed to be able to meet with the DJ before the event. That meeting didn't happen as promised (despite our attempts). While we were eating dinner the DJ came up and asked us what the mother/son dance was and then he told us that he didn't have it (it was included in the packet we submitted 60 days before...) Fortunately, he was able to get online and download the song we chose. Two days before the wedding I received a call and an email from a lady at the office asking me to send in a certain song we had chosen. I immediately replied to her email with the song. During the wedding, they didn't play the version we had sent to them, but another version (the one I didn't want played). They did do a great job mixing the Father/Daughter song (we had Soulja Boy in the middle of Tim McGraw's "My Little Girl"). As I said earlier, the DJ (Jimmy) was fun, upbeat, and accommodating and he did a great job getting the party started and keeping the party going. I would recommend Jimmy himself (he definitely earned 5 stars), but not the company because of the poor preparations.

Brian was very entertaining and really got our guests involved. He was very accommodating and even played our Ceremony Music for us as our Wedding & Reception were held in the same room. The up-lighting he provided was amazing! We waited until the Reception to have the up-lighting added to the room and it made the space feel like a completely different area - what a difference it made!! We highly recommend Brian as a DJ!
GUEST




This company was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Working with Bryan was wonderful, he was ALWAYS available. Never once did I call and have to talk to a machine, which was amazing. The videographer they sent did a fantastic job. I dunno how he managed it but he was everywhere at once, and he was very good at being invisible. I never even noticed I was being video taped my whole wedding. Alisha was my DJ and she was great! She kept the party going when it slowed down, the music choices were amazing I was getting complimented all night on the music and how it was such a great mix. Now what topped the cake for me, was the lighting. I had arrived at my wedding to get ready before the lighting was up, and the room looked nice. When the elevators opened from my bridal sweet and I saw my venue again, the lighting was up and it took my breath away. The room was transformed, it became my dream wedding, and the lighting was what did it. I just vivdly remember the elevator doors slowly opening and the flood of pink and purple all around the room.
I would and have reccomended Tagas for any event and especially for a wedding. They made it for me!
Thank you again!!!

My husband and I were so impressed with both the DJ and videography of our wedding! Bryan was outstanding! He completely took control of our reception and followed everything we wanted to do. He was able to get people dancing and keep them dancing for almost the entire reception. He involved every guest, and even got my husband's parents (who don't dance) out on the floor several times! Not only was he amazing with our guests, but he was amazing with us. It was obvious that his sole reason for being there was for my husband and I and he did and said all the right things that made our day even more special. We received so many compliments on how wonderful the mix of music was and that it was the most fun people had ever had at a wedding! The videographer was outstanding because I never even knew he was there! He was able to video our wedding and the reception without being intrusive. When we received our video back, we were so impressed by the footage and editing. Having the video done of our wedding was the best decision we ever made. It's nice to have the photos, but the day goes so quickly and the video allows you to relive those special moments and be a part of ones that you may have missed. We will have that video for the rest of our lives and each time we watch it we'll remember how amazing that day was, and TAGAS captured it beautifully! THank you, for everything!

There is no better way to descibe Tagas than perfect. The level of customer service that Bryan provided was excellent. for example in the middle of the wedding we requested a song that he didn't have. He was able to download and get the song in the set list immediately after the request. He really made our wedding very special. All of our guests loved the music and really it was because of his experiance in his field. Overall I can not say enough good things about Tagas and Bryan. We highly reccomend them for your music needs.

Love the DJ's Love the Lighting and LOVE the customer service of this company.
The team at Tagas is truly professional. If you're looking for entertainment, these guys know how to host a party! they can keep the dance floor packed all night long without all that cheesy stuff! Photobooth Rocks gives them all thumbs up!
Professional, innovative and very fair pricing. We love working with Brian and his team.
Bryan is a master a reading a crowd and playing the perfect music for a good time for your guests. I believe this is a true talent that allows him to excel over the others in the industry. He’s well respected by everyone who meets him, a true professional. I’d highly recommend Tagas for your big day!
After photographing nearly 1,000 wedding in Florida in the last 17 years I can honestly say that Brian is not only an awesome Dj but one of the most professional DJ's you could ever hire. He is a team player and is so fun and easy to work with but more importantly he cares about his clients. Being the professional that he is I have noticed that Brian is always on time, he is always dressed well, he is articulate and a great MC and motivator! He really knows how to work the crowd! I Highly Recommended Him!!! If he has your date open book him....Book him NOW!!!
I have had four weddings with Tagas and every event was very successful and fun. All of my mutual customers have loved the way the were treated by Tagas and best of all the dance floor was busy all night. Tagas has lite up several of our event ballrooms with their LED lighting which make a huge difference in the reception photographs! I have always found Brian the owner to be a perfect professional and kind gentleman. I am sure he makes each customer his #1 concern.
Florida Weddings Photography has worked with Bryan on several events, he is very professional and really keeps the party going, the dance floor is full the whole night! His videographer was wonderful to work with as well.
We've worked with Bryan and the crew at Tagas on many different events from weddings to corporate. They have a great slogan that says it better than I could: "Anyone can play music, plug in lights, or press record. We entertain you and your guests, artistically and beautifully capture the moments of your day, and design/create a masterpiece of lighting and decor to transform your location." A perfect example was a wedding that we did with Bryan with a couple who requested non-traditional wedding party music. Well, they're guests weren't interested in dancing to what they had chosen. Bryan was able to change it up a little to play a mix of the unique choices and the crowd favorites to get the party going. It was from dull and uninspiring to a great celebration. Don't you want someone on your special day who can read the feel of the party and DJ accordingly? If that's the case, check out Tagas!

FAQ for Tagas Event & Production Services
DJ Entertainment essentially is what people will remember from your reception...the food is important, the look important....but in the end, did they have a great time or not? Statistics show that is what over 80% of your guests will remember most!! The best advice we can offer pertaining to receptions is don't leave arguably the most integral part of the reception success to a friend or DJ that has limited wedding reception experience. The few hundred dollar savings will be far from worth it in the end.
Videography can sometimes be overlooked as a necessity, however there is no other way to truly relive the events of the day that will fly by and be over before you know it. A professionally shot and edited video will be a wonderful way to preserve the special moments of your wonderful day.
Overall advice once you have done your research and selected your vendors, trust them. Trust that they know what they are doing and will provide fantastic service to you and your guests. You wouldn't have picked them if you weren't convinced they would do their job correctly.
