GASPAR / GIBBONS WEDDING RECEPTION
JULY 14, 2006
DJ: JIM U
Hi Curtis: It is a pleasure to fill out the questionnaire. Nicole and Jesse, Buddy and I, and judging by the dance floor and the smiling faces, our guests -- I can say with confidence, that Jim was a very important ingredient in making the ambiance of the evening fun while keeping it classy. When you have guests with such a varied age span, it can be difficult to keep everyone happy. Jim did that. Kudos to you and your fantastic staff! Take care, and have a wonderful summer. Carlene (P.S. This includes Nicole's input. ) …ALWAYS informative, pleasant, reassuring, calm, and upbeat. Jim was right on top of everything. He is so personable and talented. Jim was so cool without having the wedding become "all about Jim". We have been told that people who do not usually dance, became familiar with the dance floor that evening. He read the crowd very well.

BAKER / PALMISANO RECEPTION
JUNE 23, 2006
DJ: JIM U
Curtis, it was a pleasure working with you and DJ Jim Utterback. Below are a few bits of feedback I have from our wedding. Overall a very good experience and I would highly recommend your company to anyone. Curtis is very easy very responsive, cooperative, adaptable and a blast of positive energy! Jim is very professional and overall nice guy. I thought that he was playing a few too many slow songs, but he nailed everything else correctly and smoothly, despite the difficulty he was faced with in getting to our event (due to floods & traffic back-up; uncontrollable circumstances)

DJ: JIM U
My name is Lorraine Dondero and I had Katelyn Dondero’s graduation party on Friday, June 9th. I want to tell you that when the people left that night they said that Jim was the best DJ they ever saw. He made the night a memory that we will never forget! He was so gracious, polite, fun, entertaining, exciting. Participated in everything! He was the very best and I felt terrible that I never got to thank or tip him!!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about Jim! I have a very big family and they have had lots and lots of DJ’S but everyone agrees, he is the best!!!!!

MAY 21, 2005
DJ: JIM U
Jim, we can't thank you enough for making our wedding reception such a great party. It was awesome thanks to you and your perfect choice of songs all night long. We had a blast and so did our guests. We couldn't believe how well you improvised the music on our picture slideshow. Our guests thought it was pre-recorded it was so right on! By the way do you remember what music you played for the slideshow? Thanks again for everything and we have already recommended you to some of our friends that are getting married so we may see you again.... Nelly & Matt Russo

TAYLOR BIRTHDAY
JULY 08, 2006
DJ: JIM U
Curtis, you rock. I always jump up and say "I'll get the DJ" for any event because I know what a pleasure it will be:) Jim was great. Very nice personality... Loved his suit! It showed his efforts. He knew when to do what, and never came on to strong. I love that in a DJ. Great music selection, and even went out of his way to find the birthday girl. I would strongly recommend Jim! The real question, would Jim come back? We were a little rowdy at the end!!!!! Just kidding. Take care, Curtis. Hope Dad is well!!

DALILI / LICUANAN RECEPTION
JULY 01, 2006
DJ: JIM U
Staff was professional and willing to accommodate our needs and listened closely to what we wanted our event to be like. The staff was diligent and proactive in checking back with us rather us having to contact you. That was a huge problem with other DJs, which is why we went with you. You simply called us back! Also, you had records of our meetings and made us feel important and listened to. Jim was great to work with. He was willing to meet with us on his off day to accommodate our needs. He also listened to what we wanted and tried as best as possible meet our needs. He provided a lot of ideas, whether it was the music or organization of the event, without being pushy and understanding that we had our vision and that his ideas were to color the event and not transform it. Jim had a great pulse to what the guests were looking for in terms of the music based on the mood of the guests. He also took the time to familiarize himself with the itinerary we made and made adjustments as needed to make the event more enjoyable. He also took the time to rehearse the written scripts we had given to him to announce for the wedding party entrance, which was a big part of our ceremony. On the day of the event, Jim listened to our suggestions and made the adjustments promptly and efficiently. Jim was very enthusiastic about the event and looked like as well that he was enjoying the event which rubbed off positively to the guests. Although there was a 15 minute window of some slow down time between meal servings, Jim was able to step in and make adjustments with suggestions from the bride and groom (parent cha cha dance) that were not on the original itinerary. Soon, the spirits were back up and the event was back on track. Overall, the DJ experience was excellent. From start to finish, an experience that can be very time consuming and headache bound, was far from that, and we felt in good hands and treated professionally and respectfully. We felt like a true client whose business was appreciated, welcomed and important--feelings hard to come by in this same combination at once in many of today's business services. Thanks again! Brian and Tina

DONDERO GRADUATION
JUNE 9, 2006
DJ: JIM U
Every time I had a question or needed to talk to you about something you were right there and you answered every question that I had and it was all very helpful!!! He made the party!!! The games that he played got everyone up and out of their seats. People are still talking about him and how he was so much fun and by far the best DJ they had ever seen. I would definitely use him for any event. The wedding is next and you bet that I would want no one else but Jim to be my DJ for that big event!!! I felt that he did everything and beyond what he could do to make the event the best that it could be. It's true a DJ can really make or break the event and in this case Jim brought this event to a home run success. Thank you so much for connecting me with Jim I am pleased with the entire night. There wasn't one person who didn't comment on his great performance that night. I sent over your way a lot of referrals and I felt great about doing it!!!! Thanks again for sharing and help making my night the absolute best that it could have been!!!!! -Katelyn

APRIL 21, 2006
DJ: JIM U
Hi Curtis, The DJ was great and very sociable. (For putting up with us that night he was great-he probably could understand that we don’t have a chance to get out that often!) He played the country music like we asked and handled all the suggestions from the guests. So thank you for your service and him also! You made booking the entertainment very easy. I will certainly speak with the others about our Christmas party if they haven’t already booked anyone yet. T
hanks again to you and the DJ for making the party a very enjoyable success! Tracy Haley

CHEN / DO RECEPTION
JUNE 23, 2002
DJ: JIM U
Curtis, Jim U was an amazing D. J. with such short notice and made such a hot and hectic day cool and beautiful with the music. He did an absolutely fabulous job! The fun bouquet toss and garter toss was particularly crowd pleasing. The music at the ceremony was just heavenly! He also recommended John Lennon's "Grow Old Along with Me" for our last dance (yes, we were quite the last minute couple) since the sundial in the garden where we got married had that quote. It was very touching! We would recommend him to anyone!!! -Evelyn and Dai
