    Perfection

    Ashley’s DJ and Karaoke I can’t say enough good things about Ashley Kemp. She was the DJ at our wedding and was absolutely phenomenal. We needed special recording played during our ceremony and she did it perfectly. The reception was a perfect mix of fast paced music and slow dancing. What really impressed me was how much she cared. Our wedding was in July and she was calling me in April to make sure she had everything she needed so my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything. The owner of the venue was a pain. She was a nightmare to deal with and gave Ashley a hard time, I’ll go into that in another review. Ashley was the vision of professionalism in the face of overwhelming rudeness and disrespect. She was very clear that she worked for my husband and I and if the owner didn’t like it, they would have to drag her out in handcuffs lol Weddings are always stressful, but the one thing we knew was that we didn’t have to worry about Ashley. She was going to do anything and everything to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted and she absolutely delivered. Her energy was unmatched. She coordinated with the photographer and videographer to help make sure I got pictures and video of everything I wanted, played every song I asked for, kept our guests engaged and on the dance floor. She even made the time to join us on the dance floor herself. At the end of the evening my husband and I were the only ones there, but she kept playing with the same energy she had all day so that we could dance alone together the way we did when he proposed. If you want a DJ that is great at her job, cares about your wedding day, or event, and has a wonderful personality, hire Ashley. Don’t even talk to anyone else. She is the total package. A great DJ and a great person.

    Rude

    I would not recommend hiring Ashley's DJ & Karaoke for your wedding. Their communication style was poor, rude and demanding. The quality of their work and value was extremely disappointing. They showed up late to our event and demanded the venue pay them extra because they were behind on their playlist. They were also rude to the wait staff. Based on this experience, I would not hire them again.

    Yes Taylour thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention. I remember exactly what happened. While I did provide music at the contracted time, The setup may have been a bit scrambled because I was setting up for your three separate live performances who were running behind. This is not a typical service DJ's offer and you were not charged extra for it. $650 is a fantastic price for the flexibility used performing your night. I pride myself and going above and beyond on the services I do provide. So when food service came to a complete halt after the first two tables as the buffet was not getting refilled, I stepped up to replace rolls and entertain tables as best I could. I did respectfully push the wait staff to address the problem, however their catering team was incredibly unorganized and gave me the excuse that you had extra guests. Extra guests cannot be the excuse when the first two tables of the rsvp'd guests are the only ones getting served for 30 minutes while they not only finish their meal but have your other guests looking on, waiting for food. But I do not work in the kitchen and so I brought this up to the wait staff. Any caterer I have ever worked with would never take almost 2 hours to serve guests. Your first two tables were done eating and people were just waiting. So your liaison that I was communicating with that night, I suggested that they may ask for a partial refund because your music was now pushed back causing a delay in your music and dances. I even went as far as to suggest that the caterer cover the extra hour since they caused the delay by being unprepared. After presenting you with the option to go an hour longer for $100, you turned it down and did seem quite upset, so I offered my curated playlist to be played on one of your live performer's speakers after I left. This was also an additional courtesy because I felt incredibly bad that I couldn't help with the disruptive dinner situation. I do need to learn and mind my own business, literally, but that ties in with running the evening on schedule and addressing any hiccups that may occur . I believe my communication was outstanding and making sure you got the most bang for your buck . However the overall performance and additional conditions were met with enthusiasm. I was very excited to hear your talented singers and experience your unique day! I hope this explanation can bring some clarity to the role I played in your night.

    Above and Beyond

    Ashley's DJ & Karaoke provided an exceptional experience for our weddings! Their communication style was exuberant, cheerful, and kind, and they approached the event with a truly creative flair. The quality of their work and value was unparalleled - they were punctual, ready, energetic, and dedicated throughout the entire event. Ashley went above and beyond for us, putting in almost fourteen hours of work and bringing so much more than just the music and karaoke. She made sure all six of our couples had their experiences tailored to suit their individual desires, and she truly brought the whole celebration to life. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band and DJ service.

    Ashley’s DJ & Karaoke

    Ashley's DJ & Karaoke was the perfect addition to our wedding celebration. From the start, their communication was clear, concise and thorough, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of, Ashley was truly great - her engaging personality had our guests dancing all night, and she played all the music we requested. Before the party really got started, she even made sure to deliver our wedding cake to the tables so everyone could enjoy dessert. The sound equipment was top-notch, and Ashley went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ - highly recommend!
