Music Express Hawaii

Rick from Music Express was an excellent DJ. I shopped around for a lot of DJs and his prices beat out the competition hands down. This made me a bit hesitant, because there’s the possibility of «you get what you pay for», but of the DJs I spoke on the phone with he seemed the most friendly, and had one of those «moviefone» voices that I could tell would be great for MCing. I love their ala carte menu, so you can decide what services you want, and only pay for what you need. We got the Dj with basic light/​sound set up, and that was plenty for our venue (Hale Koa Banyon Tree Showroom). We also decided to add MC services, because we didn’t want to worry about making a family member do it. Rick met my husband and I a couple weeks before our wedding and we went through the timeline. He had a lot of fun suggestions, some I was a bit wary of, but I felt I had the freedom to say ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ on items. I even had a pre-​wedding panic after meeting with my venue and almost spent tons of money on a day-​of coordinator, but when I talked to Rick he said we should just meet and he’d help me create a master timeline and think of all the details I could possibly forget — it was awesome, he went above and beyond just to help me out and it made me so much calmer before the big day. The website he uses for you to input your songs can be a little frustrating — make sure you click SAVE often or you might lose your stuff and have to remember all the songs you listed. If I could do a half star deduction on Unilocal the only reason would be for some minor snags in the wedding program, like I thought I had specified that our first dance song was to begin while we walked down from the stage, and I remember having to say, «Start it, come on please start!» while we were walking down — of course, that could also have been my failure to communicate that properly. All in all though, my guests danced all night and we had a blast — a great DJ!
