From the moment I heard Santana’s voice on the phone, I just had a feeling that it would be a great partnership and she would make an excellent DJ for my wedding. My mother had found Santana and noted how many accolades she had received from various organizations such as Wedding Wire(Bride’s Choice for several years in a row). We chatted on the phone for about an hour prior to our face to face meeting and I felt at ease that she knew exactly what type of music I wanted as well as what would work for the guests. Santana is quick to tell you she doesn’t do cookie cutter weddings, and that’s exactly right. She listens to each client’s needs, wants, visions of what their big day will be like and she compliments that with her skill, professionalism, and innate musical talent as a DJ. We discussed the break down of the guests, would it be mostly friends or family or a combination of both? She inquired what year I graduated college to know the popular music from that time, and also knew the age range of the adults in my family to know what music would get them moving on the dance floor too. Her website is user friendly and very helpful in the planning process. Clients are able to log in, create a play list of ‘must play’, ‘play if possible’, and ‘do not play’. Santana made sure and discuss what was on my ‘do not play’ list which was rather vast and in the end I ended up compromising and trusting her on several songs because they are such crowd pleasers. She was right, and the crowd loved all of her choices on the set list. Santana is so prepared it makes even the most organized person do a double take. She thinks of everything, so that when she’s working if there is a snafu, she’s in control and the guests don’t even know anything went wrong. I know the guests loved the music because pretty much all 200 of them spent the majority of the time dancing the whole night. A rowdy fireman friend of my husband’s extended the party and Santana obliged, extending her contract by an extra two hours! I think they would have kept extending it all night if we’d let them. I can’t recommend Santana enough. She’s a world traveling, vibrant individual and our wedding was so fun that the guests didn’t want to leave. While I’d like to claim credit for having the best friends and family, I also know that the music/entertainment portion at a wedding is truly key. Booze and music is what makes or breaks a wedding and I can safely say that Santana made ours memorable and a blast. If you want top notch service and to have your guests talking for years to come about what a fun wedding you had, Santana Entertainment is the company for you!
