    We met with Chris Atwood there.  My fiance's friends used them and they did a great job at their wedding.  Everyone was up dancing all night.  We wound up booking with Danny C.  It was nothing against them... we just liked Danny C better.

    We met with them when trying to find a DJ to use. I thought they were EXTREMELY pushy. He kept trying to convince us to book that night, when we had told him multiple times we weren't ready to sign a contract yet. Also, he called me numerous times the day of our appointment to confirm I was coming, and when we were less than 1 minute late, he called my cell phone 3 times as we were parking the car. He also tried to trick us into thinking we'd get a deal, saying he wouldn't charge us tax if we booked that night... well guess what, there is no tax on DJ service!! We learned that later on.
    Aside from all of that, they just weren't our style..we're not into the DJ being super involved/talking/dancing, etc.

    I met them at a bridal show and won $500 bucks off so I was pumped.  By the end of the show, they made me stand there waiting for 30 minutes before giving me a piece of paper saying I had a month to book and use the cert.  Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but that rubbed me the wrong way.  Don't try to force me to sign in a week, had they given me like 6 months, I probably would have went with them.

    Hi Kristin!  I put a down payment with them and am having second thoughts because I am having problems getting in contact with them.  I'm very worried, I know your wedding has passed, but what was the turnout?

    Thanks!

    [QUOTE]I booked them for my wedding and paid them in full! We loved their style and felt they would create a great party atmposphere for our guests.  Now with only 4 months till our wedding, I emailed Chris with some questions only to get no response even a week later! It is so unprofessional not to respond to clients that have paid $3,500 upfront 11 months proir to their wedding date! I am so disappointed and hope that this is not a prelude to what's to come from them.  It's not the first time they didn't return a communication from me either.  I am starting to have regrets about booking them  :(
