The following is a condensed version of the email we sent to Parties Alive:
1. The PA System for the ceremony was not brought by DJ Eclipse. Luckily, we were able to rectify this by bringing the speakers out of the ballroom, after the initial suggestion of DJ Eclipse to "speak loudly".
2. The ceremony songs played by the string trio, who were booked through you, were all incorrect.
3. EVERY song that was meant to be played when we entered the ballroom for introductions was wrong, despite checking with DJ Eclipse. "Dance The Night Away" by Van Halen was to be played when the bridal party entered and instead it was a club remix that we couldn't identify, despite us saying we didn't want house music played at all. As two people who met working in radio, song selection was a very important part of personalizing this wedding and the music was completely disconnected from who we are as a couple. When we confronted DJ Eclipse (who doesn't know how to tuck his shirt in), he said, in regards to the Van Halen song, "I played it eventually". He wasn't supposed to play it eventually, he was supposed to play it when he was supposed to play it.
4. We had to pull our catering director aside and ask her to set our up lighting back to blue because we noticed they were changing colors... the way they would in club. If we wanted seizure inducing lighting, we would have bought it through you when you offered it as an up-sell, but we didn't, so your DJ had no business playing with the lights.
5. Sean's parents could barely make it to the dance floor for their own dance before the music was cut short, which we felt to be unfair to them.
6. Our catering director had to request that her staff "keep an eye on him", as they noticed DJ Eclipse make repeated trips to the bar. Not one of our other vendors acted in such a unprofessional, disorganized manner and we regret having Parties Alive grouped in with an otherwise flawless execution of our event.

Buyer beware.
