Joe and I really wanted to host a celebration of our lives with our families and friends. Our wedding music is so important to having a special service and a great party. We had a tough time finding a DJ service for our wedding. I asked around, called people I was referred to, I searched the web and local phone book. I could reach some by phone, but most never even followed up. I tried emails and many never got back to me at all or weeks later. I was discouraged and started to look outside of our “home town”.

 

When I found Homemade Jam DJ! they replied immediately, allowed me to view the full web site, the services page and answered all the questions and concerns I had. With the economy taking a dive we started to worry about the pricing. It was an issue. So we started again to try to find a DJ who we could be happy with. After further calls, to some nice but clearly scattered DJs and unanswered emails Joe and I decided to contact Homemade Jam DJ! again and see if they still had our date available. Lucky us they still did.

 

Terry and Gerri offered to meet with us in person to relieve some of our worries and concerns. Are we ever glad we took them up on the offer. My Joe can be a stickler. He flat out asked “what makes you worth the hundreds of dollars more than the others?” Here’s what we got...the support , professionalism the personal touches and the service provided, for the choice of music, the choice in what elements we wanted included and ones we did not, help with the details at the wedding site, the meeting for the final decisions about placing and room layout, at the rehearsal( the day before) AND the music before the actual ceremony, during and after our service and reception, the quality, sound and reliability of the equipment ( the back up equipment if needed ) was super.

 

……at the end of our wedding night Terry asked “So what was the difference between us and a cheaper DJ?” and I said as Joe and I where walking out the door with a huge grin, “the difference is ……the best friggin party ever!!” They followed through with every detail we wanted and provided the greatest music! From our first dance right through to the last, it was an evening of fun, playing the music that kept everyone dancing, some people just never stopped dancing! (even Oma and Grammy ages 85+) Thanks So much for making our special day one for the family history books. !!!

All the best to you both and to all the couples who are celebrating in the future.

Thank you sooooooooo much for doing an amazing job at our wedding!!! It was honestly the best music ever!! We had so many compliments about how great you were and we are soooo happy with the whole night. You really made our day amazing and we are forever indebted to you!!!!! I don't think there was a song we didn't like, or the crowd didn't love. You were so in tune with our guests and we have gotten so many compliments about how fun you are! You also went above and beyond the call of duty. Our hall almost burnt down and we didn't even know! You were all over the crisis control and we thank you so much for this!! The center piece catastrophe is hysterical looking back on it now and we thank you for helping the staff air out the room and get things under control!! hahaha Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without you! The MC's said you were all over it and made sure everything was taken care of!! You completely out did yourself and I am sorry your husband was sick. Your assistant was so nice!!!! You found a great replacement. I am recommending you all over the place. You are great people and I loved working with you!!! If you ever need a reference, just give them my number and I will back you 100%. You made our wedding amazing, thank you sooooo much!!!

I wanted to thank you and Gerry for doing such a fabulous job as our DJs (you were awesome!!) and for your help making everything run so smoothly. The night was unbelievable and went by far too quickly, but we had a fantastic time and so did our guests. We are still receiving compliments on how great the music and DJ’s were. Thank you so much for making our day even more special. I feel very lucky that we found you and I wish you the best with your future events.

Best wishes,

Thank you very much for a wonderful day and a very fun evening. It seemed that everyone enjoyed themselves, considering the dance floor was packed all night I think that was a great sign. Bryan and I appreciate all your hard work, and I know that the conditions weren't perfect, the very water logged lawn. I had the wedding of my dreams and you were a huge help coordinating everything, I don't know what I would have done without you.
I was wondering if it is too late to request the planners as we would like to have them as a keepsake.
Thanks again for amazing job that you and Gerri did,

You guys were great and I didn't expect anything less. Fun, knowledgeable, versatile and accommodating in every aspect. The guests and ourselves had a blast. And last but not least we are very happy that you were part of our amazing wedding day and you guys helped make it all the more perfect.

You were amazing! The service you provided was completely invaluable! My wedding would not have been what it was without your services. Not only did you provide excellent music and keep the dance floor hopping all night, you went above and beyond by helping to coordinate the wedding party down the aisle, making sure everything was running on time and giving me mini status updates, checking with the kitchen etc. You helped ease a lot of stress that I thought I would have. I don't know how I could ever thank you enough.

Hi guys. We wanted to send you an email to thank you for everything the day of the wedding. The whole night was amazing, and the music was great! We had many complements on the DJ and how great you were for taking requests and playing good music. Terry, meeting with you the day before the wedding was a great idea. It really made us realize how much you cared about having the day run smooth, and making sure that a lot of the pressure was taken from us. You did an amazing job teeing up events throughout the night, and for that we thank you. We’ve been to weddings before where the DJ just sits in his corner and plays music… Homemade Jam was the total opposite of that, and is the reason why we highly recommend you guys to friends and family.
I looked at your website to see if you had a testimonials page to post these sorts of things and couldn’t find one. That might be something you want to look into.
Thanks again for everything!

We hope that you are both doing well. We will give as many references and referrals for Homemade Jam and Gerri's officiating for All Season's Weddings. I have already responded to two e-mails recently and gave you an A+ rating. I was completly honest with them and told them that by hiring Homemade Jam they would have the best DJ company in the country. You both made our wedding day the best that it could be, we could not have done it without your immense help and entertainment. Our guests are still talking about how amazing our wedding was. The inside joke with us and our friends that attended that are getting married in the near future, is that they are all frustrated because we set the bar so high for them to compete with. They all wish that they could hire your company for their weddings here around Vancouver. Here is a picture from our wedding of Gerri performing our ceremony. Take care and best wishes.

Interested in your services!


Hi Gerri and Terry,
You might not remember me, I sang at the Mandic-Graham wedding. Well Melanie has referred me to you for my wedding. I just recently became engaged and I'm trying to start the ball rolling. Now we don't have a date set as of yet but we are looking at the fall of 2010. I was just wondering how much you charge. You did a fantastic job at Melanie & Ron's wedding and I would love to be able to have you for our wedding. I know my Dad would be happy about it as well, as he also really enjoyed your work. If you could let me know that would be great and once we get more details on the date and such I will be sure to let you know.


Thank you for your time.
Jennifer

We have set a date!


Hi Gerri and Terry,

I will be booking the church and hall within the next couple of days, so unless they aren't available that will be the date. Russ and I would love to have you at our wedding so I have my fingers crossed.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Jennifer
