Interesting!

I received this email from a client I met regarding their wedding reception – I think it shows the true value of quality DJ Services as opposed to looking for the cheapest one or a low cost DJ:
I have removed the personal information for obvious reasons:

Afternoon Kevin!

I hope this e-mail finds you in good spirits and doing well this New Year! Just a quick refresher in case you need it…This is Jeremy of the Sheila & Jeremy Wedding planned for XXXXXXX at the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles as indicated in the e-mail subject

I will get right to the point. In looking for another DJ that better fit our “$0-1000″ budget we keep coming back to Kevin Colangelo!!! Despite your advice I have been looking for a better “deal” and have a few DJs waiting for my response as Sheila probably told you in her communication, but I really don’t feel comfortable that they will take care of us and our guests like you will. Is there any chance that you still have the above date open? I look forward to your response!

Thanks for your consideration,
Jeremy XXXXXXX

Busy Saturday!! and NEWS on our office move!

Today I had the extreme pleasure of meeting at the Events Company offices in downtown Syracuse who I will be working with in the future on many events and have already done so in the past!

Furthermore EXCITING NEWS – we are possibly moving our offices from Fayetteville to downtown Syracuse right next door to the Events Company!!
I am so excited about this move right across from the Hotel Syracuse and next door to the Events Company who have brides coming in every day to meet them hiring linens and other things for their wedding looking for a DJ Service too and we will be right next door also with our Photo Booth Company and a local Photographer!

Make a Wish Foundation Event January 9th 2010 – Syracuse

It is the 2nd event I have done for the Make a Wish Foundation and this one touched my heart – Erin is suffering from brain cancer and is 17 years old – we came and made her smile with Wade Live, myself and JP Krangel, together with a huge fireworks dispaly!
Erin and her family were the greatest people you could meet and I hope and pray that Erin beats this terrible disease and God willing she will see her next birthday and live until she is 100 years old!

Make a Wish Foundation have asked me to do all of their events for the future and I am more than willing to accomadate them!

Client First Name: Tina Kapral – Make a Wish Foundation

Venue Name: Wysocki’s Lake Park Manor
Review: Kevin and team were outstanding! Kevin made sure the evening ran smoothly, from start to finish. The music and the lightshow were awesome! The guests enjoyed the evening immensely. The photo booth was a hit too! Kevin is an experinced professional at all times. He answers all questions and offers great gudiance before, after and during events. He is our “go to” guy for any DJ needs.

December 12th 2009 Wedding in Verona

What a pleasure to be selected for the Seymour’s wedding reception on December 12th at Dibbles Inn, Vernon – a newly refurbished banqut facility and highly recommended!

It is a pleasure to work with the management and staff at Dibbles and we thank them for all the referals and look forward to seeing them again in the near future as we have about 6 dates booked there in 2010!

We have been asked to supply services for the NYE event this year at Dibbles and we gladly will accomadate which makes our total NYE events 4 as we have done 3 locations every year for the past 6 years or so.

REVIEW FROM CLIENT RECEIVED:

Good Afternoon Kevin:

Thank you Kevin for a wonderful job. As caterer’s and restaurant owners we have seen many good Dj’s and you sir were the best. From your idea’s for song selection, planning, and years of expertise made our own wedding go seamless. The light show was also an added bonus that no one should go without (AWESOME)! Everyone at the reception raved about you saying it was the best reception they have ever been to. You will be the only DJ that Seymour’s will recommend to our clients and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,
Burt and Cheryl Seymour
