HI Ladies,

Thanks for taking the time to read this... I'm about to have a bride breakdown!! We have wanted since day 1 to have a photobooth, we've seen just about every photobooth in westchester and rockland over the past few months trying to narrow down our search.
we narrowed it down to two choices; and we contacted the Dj Company and asked to see one of their photobooths, they told us there wasn't one in their office but I could take my fiance to see it at a bridal show that weekend at the crown plaza in white plains. So my fiance and I went to WP, and there was no bridal show. When we called  them back, they said how sorry they were and that they thought they were going to be there for this bridal show. This was strike one for me.
Then we got an email from them saying they were doing a half off promotion for a few hours. I asked my fiance to call and get the info since they had screwed us the day before. I think my fiance thought he was doing a good thing and he gave them our credit card # for a deposit on a booth for our day.
Now it's been over 2 weeks of trying to contact both Jason and Chelsea by phone and email and we haven't heard anything back. We have a vague contract that was sent to us by mail with just the price, our date, and time listed; no further details. We haven't signed it and sent it back because we can't get in touch with anyone.
What do you think I should do? Should I demand our deposit back since no one was returned calls/emails etc in over 2 weeks and I'm worried. Or have other people had similar experiences with them? I
Yesterday I got a call from someone with the photobooth lounge, asking if I was still interested, I said no thanks since we had already booked. I told him with who, and the next thing I know I have an email from him explaining all the negative things he's heard about the dj company; I don't know if he was just mad to have lost the sale or if he's serious.
I'm just nervous and this is one of the most important things for us to have at our reception and I've been telling everyone about it and now I don't know if its going to happen.
Thanks for you help!!
Maria :)

    Hey Maria-  

    I used the DJ Company at my wedding for uplighting, and they were great.  However I also used them for a work function (DJ services), and not so great...

    I would call and ask for Ryan- he's the manager, and has always been very helpful.  I would discuss your concerns with him, including how they sent you to WP on a wild goose chase, how no one is returning your phone calls, and the email that you received.  (I will say that I think it was pretty unprofessional for that other company to bash the DJ company.... what does that say about them?)

    Don't know if it will help, but I used PartyTime Productions (http://www.partywithpartytime.com/) for my photobooth, and they were great.  Not sure what you are looking for exactly, but mine was a vintage type of booth, included an attendant, scrap book, CD of pictures, and props for guests to use in the pics.  

    GL!

    i would demand the refund back and then spread the word to other brides. thats terrible customer service and you should definitely send them an email and let them know that you either need your refund back or a significant discount or else you will talk bad about them online.  im just vengeful when it comes to this stuff...sorry theyre not responding to you.....we used thats entertainment and they were wonderful. responded to every email and phone call and were super courteous. photobooth photos came out great and our guests loved the experience.

    I have no experience with this company but if you are having troubles now, you will later. That's what I learned (too late though) from some of my vendors!

    thanks ladies, it's just stressful because I want everything to be so perfect; but at the same time didn't want to kill my fiance because then he would be afraid to help with anything else lol!!

    The manager got back to me last night, and assured me that they have no idea why no one returned my calls. He also claimed to have sent another contract; I asked for another detailing every last bit of info that was  and will be provided. We are still on the fence about if we want to get the money back or not. I really fill like thats what made him call us back, and try and talk us into not doing so. 

    hahah Vienna I was waiting to hear what they had to say before I bashed them lol.. I like the way you think!!

    Thank you for your help Manda and Mocknine I really appreciate it, I'll keep you posted with what happens... we're still looking at other places :)
