Wedding: 11/19/11
Our wedding was at the Driskill Hotel in Austin and we received a recommendation from the hotel to use Texas Pro DJ. We were very excited and confident about our choice since this was recommended to us by the hotel. Why would the venue where we are having our wedding and paying a fortune for recommend someone that was not quality?
Two days before the wedding we met with Miles (who was awesome) and went over our music selections. We had a very extensive "do not play list" that included all the typical reception songs like "Play that funky music white boy." We expressed over and over how we did not want this type of music played. We went over the song we wanted our wedding party to enter to and the song we wanted to enter to as well as our first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son dance songs. We also picked songs for throwing the garter and the bouquet toss where I expressed that I did not want the Beyonce "Put a ring on it" song played during the toss. We also made a point to say that there would be no requests for songs during the reception and my husband did not want the guys to do his Frat chant. We both felt very comfortable and confident after meeting with Miles that everything would be taken care of. The only problem was Miles was not the DJ for our reception, Nick was.
After our ceremony we arrived at the Driskill and Nick met us downstairs asking what songs we wanted to enter to. This worried me a bit since he should have already known this. We told him we wanted to enter to "I'm sexy and I know it." Well, he runs upstairs, comes back down, and asks if it would be ok to enter to "I'm too sexy for my shirt." Are you serious???????? I was really starting to freak out and my husband said absolutely not. Nick ran back upstairs and downloaded the song or magically found it or something. Our wedding party entered to nothing (which we had chosen a particular song for them with Miles). When it came to our cocktail/eating music we had requested that it be a mix of Sinatra, Micheal Buble, classic jazz type music of the 40's or music that sounded similar. He played a few songs from that genre but mostly soul jazz songs that we had never heard and were nothing like what we had discussed.
When it came time for our dances, he did not know what our songs were and had to ask numerous times. He not only cut off our first dance song but also my dance with my father (it was about 1 minute). Both of which we had spent time and money choreographing. After the dances he immediately broke into playing the typical wedding music we specifically said DO NOT PLAY. He also announced he would be taking requests from the crowd so immediately some drunk attendee requests "Pussy Control" to be played and he allows it. Thankfully I had a bridesmaid go up and request a different song to be played immediately.
The reception continued with this same tune. He of course played that stupid Beyonce song when I did the bouquet toss which only pissed me off more and my he allowed my husband's friends to do their Frat chant. If we wanted something played other than this typical wedding music we had to go up and request it. He would constantly find me on the dance floor and ask what I wanted to be played (which was extremely annoying since we said we wanted the "Top 40" to be played so we wouldn't have to worry about this).
He didn't keep the reception moving like we were told he would do. We frantically did the bouquet and garter toss at the end of the night because he never brought it up to us and we almost forgot (when we met with Miles he came up with entire timeline of how the night should go and said he would announce things when they were supposed to be happening).
I was very disappointed with the quality of this DJ. While Miles was great this DJ that works for him is not. It was very disappointing to have to pay so much for a DJ and experience this level of quality at a once in a lifetime event. I would never recommend this DJ to anyone.

We found TxPro DJ a couple weeks before our wedding, and explained to Miles how worried we were that the DJ company we'd chosen previously was unprofessional in our meeting We were so clear about wanting to meet our exact DJ and explain how we wanted the night to go. The Thurs. before our Sunday wedding, were told the guy we met was "sick" (and would be until Sunday) so we'd have a different person. At that point there was no way we had time to meet him. At the wedding, he played music over my uncle's acapela performance, mispronounced 5 of the 8 names during introductions to the dining room, was SO disrespectful to my coordinator (and bridesmaids)-talking down to them the entire time ... He came unprepared and had to borrow the iPod from my Dad's truck, which wasn't returned until 3 weeks after the wedding when I had to drive into their offices to pick it up. When I shook his hand for the first time after the ceremony he said "I have known who you were for a while now," which I thought was so strange. He played club music throughout the dance portion of the night, completely ignoring the list I made. And he flirted inappropriatly with a certain guest who he later became Facebook friends with and commented (also inappropriately) on her photos from the wedding.
Miles appologized about our lack of service and offered to DJ another event for us. I'm not sure when I'd have another huge party where I'd need a professional DJ, but we would love redemption for the one part of our wedding that was less than perfect.

Miles was awesome! He came as a recommendation from my reception place, and boy I'm glad I went with him! Extremely friendly and professional. He mixes the songs (as the way it should be) which makes it much more entertaining than someone just pushing play. He knows his crowd and played it well. He has a team of DJ's that are sure to be best around. I highly recommend them!

Miles from Texas Pro DJ was a great choice for my wedding. He was lively and fun, creating a great atmosphere. He really helped with putting a time line in place. The few planning sessions that we had with him led me to feel completely confident in his team to create the mood that we wanted for our wedding. We had a great time dancing the night away. I would certainly use him again.

It was very expensive, but we waited to long to book a DJ. The contact person waited until a few days before my wedding to call me back after three weeks of calling him twice a week. The DJ however was super friendly and professional. Once he understood what we wanted him to do, he did a great job. Book your DJ ASAP!!
