Austin Party Machine

We used Austin Party Machine for our daughter’s wedding. Tim Dill did a great job. He provided some of the music for the ceremony and worked with our soloist. He did a great job at the reception. He even had to anticipate the workings of a military saber arch and promotion pinning ceremony. The music was great and not too loud. My daughter, son-​in-​law and their friends danced to every song. He mixed in some slow songs at various times for the older folks to enjoy. I would recommend Austin Party Machine to others for a great experience.

Austin Party Machine played at our Oct. 2012 wedding and we couldn’t have asked for better DJs. Our wedding ceremony was in a wooded area outside the reception venue and we needed extra hook ups taken out into the woods for the minister and ceremony musicians. Austin Party Machine helped us get all of this set up and provided the additional equipment. During the reception, they played all the songs we specifically requested and even mixed in some great fillers of their own. Since the wedding, I’ve had numerous complements on the great music and fun, dance party atmosphere Austin Party Machine helped to create. I would highly recommend getting the extra dance floor lighting. It really contributed to the reception’s party atmosphere!

Tim Dill at Austin Party Machine is awesome. The music at the wedding was great and he kept people out on the dance floor. We had a very diverse group of people in attendance and he played music that allowed everyone to enjoy time on the dance floor. I accidentally saved, but did not submit a song list and this did not create a problem at all for Tim. He did a great job and we had a lot of fun because of him. I would recommend him for your events!

Tim at Austin Party Machine was amazing! He did everything we were looking for in a DJ! He announced all festivities as well as the wedding party. He was efficient in setting up, and talking down, and played EXACTLY what we wanted at our wedding! They have a great mix of jazzy dinner/​cocktail music and current hits. Our wedding guests loved the music selection! He even would check with us to make sure our timeline was going as planned and was flexible with changes we wanted to make throughout the evening. This DJ was the best, and at a VERY affordable price!

I am getting married in November, and tying up all loose ends. Finding a reputable DJ was last on my list. Austin Party Machine had good reviews from The Knot, as well as recommendations from many customers. I set up a meeting with the owner, Tim Dill, a few weeks in advance. We had only spoke on the phone prior to this, but I did receive an e-​mail from Tim within a day for me to reply (which I did the same day), and confirm our meet date, and place. Tim set the meet place as the Starbucks in the Arboretum Barnes and Noble, which was not the most convenient, considering I live in South Austin. My mother and I arrived promptly at the decided time of 11AM at the designated spot. There were a few Starbucks patrons there, none of which were Tim (I asked). After 20 minutes of waiting for Tim, I called and e-mailed…no response, phone went to voicemail. After 45 minutes I tried again, with both methods, nothing… after an hour I left a final message letting Tim know we would be leaving, and to please call me to let me know if something was lost in translation. This all occurred on a Saturday; Sunday rolls around and no call or e-​mail. Monday finally comes, and its well past 1PM, so I decide to call one more time to see what happened. Tim answered and with a non-​remorseful tone, let me know that he had a family emergency and was not able to make it. I completely understand having unexpected events in your life come up, and not being able to fulfill prior commitments; but for someone that has a profession in a technological field, an e-​mail would have been very much appreciated. Even a phone call within the next 48 hours, might have made me re-​consider. Overall, I feel the professionalism of Austin Party Machine was disappointing. This may have been a one time occurrence for them, but I still feel like I should be treated like a potential client (which I was), and as an important part of his business. I guess Austin Party Machine did not need me as a customer.
