DJ Starchild Production

PROCEED WITH CAUTION IF YOU BOOK THIS DJ

We are writing this review to protect other couples from the experience we had at our wedding. What follows is a factual account, corroborated by our wedding coordinator, venue staff (bartenders and food service), and approximately 90 of our wedding guests who witnessed these events firsthand. FROM THE MOMENT HE ARRIVED: Upon arrival, he immediately attempted to change the entire layout of our reception area — a setup that had already been carefully planned by everyone involved — because he felt his placement "would sound better." He insisted on positioning himself between the bride/groom table and our guests, and refused to adjust his own setup to accommodate the existing arrangement. His sound quality was poor — multiple guests independently described it as muffled, as if coming through a wall. After he left(when we weren’t even present), the venue's standard backup Bluetooth speaker actually sounded better. He also plugged into/tripped an electrical outlet he had been explicitly told by our wedding coordinator not to use, and made a comment to our guests that he had driven three hours to be there while the venue was in his advertised service area — completely unprofessional. FIRST DANCE: We provided our song list well in advance via email, which he confirmed and replied to with the full playlist. For our first dance, he began playing the song, stopped it, and announced over the microphone to our entire reception: "That's the short version, let me get the longer one." What followed was over a minute of complete silence while we stood in front of all of our guests. He then played a live/bootleg version of our song — not the studio recording we had requested of a well-known, widely available James Taylor song. My spouse and I ended up singing our own first dance song ourselves. This moment is documented in photos, video, and the accounts of nearly every guest present. RECEPTION: — He handed us a microphone for toasts at the wrong time, despite having the written itinerary, leaving us stunned and unprepared in front of our guests. — After the best man and bridesmaid speeches, he left complete silence with no music and no direction, requiring us to intervene. — There were multiple other silent gaps throughout the evening where no music was played and no effort was made to fill the void. — During buffet, rather than calling tables one at a time as is standard practice, he released multiple tables simultaneously, and while other tables were still getting food creating a chaotic, crowded situation that numerous guests noted. — Songs we had specifically requested — confirmed in writing — were not played until we forwarded him his own confirmation email during our reception. — He was rude to our wedding coordinator and her staff, per her own written account. HIS RESPONSE TO OUR COMPLAINTS: When we emailed him with these concerns and requested a refund, he did not apologize or offer any resolution. Instead, he threatened us with civil legal action and advised us not to post reviews, suggesting it would be "defamation." Truthful reviews of a business are not defamation. We are posting this review so that no other couple has to experience what we did on one of the most important days of their lives. Our wedding coordinator has documented her concerns in writing and recommended we seek a refund. We have email confirmation of our song requests, a coordinator's written account, venue staff witnesses, and the accounts of nearly 100 wedding guests

What a wonderful experience

We hired DJ Starchild Production for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our choice. From our first conversation, he was courteous and easy to work with, which honestly made my stress level go down during the planning process. His music selection was clean and thoughtful, matching our vibe perfectly, and he kept the energy going all night without missing a beat. What really impressed us was that his pricing came in well below other DJs we looked at, yet the quality of his work was completely professional. We've recommended him to several coworkers and friends, and they all came back with great reviews. We'll definitely be hiring him again for future events.

Wedding

From our first conversation, DJ Starchild made it clear he cared about getting things right. He responded quickly to our questions and always made sure he understood exactly what we wanted for our big day. On the wedding day itself, he arrived early to test his equipment and make sure everything was in perfect working order. What impressed us most was his ability to read the room and play the right songs at the right time—he kept our guests dancing all night and never missed a beat. He's a true professional who knows how to work with different crowds and bring energy to any event. We can't thank DJ Starchild enough for making our wedding such a happy celebration, and we'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who cares about their special day.

Omgoodness!!! These companies needs to get a 10 star button!!! 10’stars from me DJ starchild , you are the best. His music caters to everyone. Absolutely amazing DJ—great music, perfect energy, and he knows exactly how to keep the crowd moving!! Again 10 stars from me!!!!!!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You can also notice how uncomfy our guests were in the background.
