Masters of Ceremony Productions

We contracted Landan Vick and the Master of ceremony productions for our wedding in 2010. Landan was a friend of my old co workers and was willing to give us a deal on a package price and he was even nice enough to throw in up lighting for free. It was a kind gesture that helped set our reception apart, however, he didn’t do a great job with the music.
First, he messed up the daddy-​daughter dance. In fact, he didn’t even play a song that was on our list for the whole entire evening, so I have no idea where he got the song from. I think he may have mixed us up with another wedding. When the song ended, I went over (as the bride) to explain what he had done and he wasn’t even apologetic. He asked me to provide proof that the song wasn’t correct, so while my husband was enjoying his mother-​son dance (which I should have also been enjoying), I was logging into my email on his laptop to show him that he did, in fact, mess it up. He looked at it and said «well, you just put it in the attachment of the email and not in the actual body of the email.»
Now let me explain (this is the frustrating part): my husband is extremely organized and created a step by step list of each song and when it should be played, along with a long list of preferred music for the reception. How he skipped over one part of it amazes me. Then, as the night continued, he played music that was not in any part of our preferred list and in fact was music we had told him we didn’t want played. (No rap) He seemed to focus on creating a night club like atmosphere, which did not work for our wedding reception that was primarily people in their late 20’s and older. I think he’d be a great dj for a prom or something where you want lots of loud, booty shaking music.
It’s sad to say, but when I think back on the day, his kind gesture of the free lighting is forgotten amongst his poor music choices.

If I could give zero stars, I would have.
Just in case you don’t want to read any further, I’ll make my point up front: I had a contract for Landan Vick to DJ my wedding on July 28, 2012 and he didn’t show up. It goes without saying that booking Landan as my DJ was the biggest mistake I made.
He text messaged my husband the morning of the wedding and said that he wasn’t going to be at our wedding. His story was that there was another wedding that had a DJ no show and that he was going to DJ that wedding and he was sending someone else to DJ ours. I 100% think that story was completely made up as it doesn’t make sense at all (why wouldn’t he have sent the other DJ to the no show wedding so as not to ruin my wedding as well??)
After investigating on Facebook, I figured out that the other wedding he went to DJ was his g. f’s friend’s wedding, so I’m pretty sure he double booked us and planned to ditch us all along. The guy he sent to our wedding was terrible and no one I would have ever booked. He messed up our ceremony music, cocktail music, dinner music and dancing music. I had to spoon feed the guy songs to play at the end of the night just to keep everyone on the dance floor. Not to mention I met this other DJ only hours before the ceremony, not something that any bride wants to have happen.
I emailed him and asked him what his plan was since he is in breach of contract (our contract does not entitle him to send a substitute let alone to subcontract a DJ from another company) and he responded with «Please explain how you feel that this was a breach of contract and what you feel you are entitled to.» Wow. Can’t believe he honestly thinks that he didn’t do anything wrong here! By far the most unprofessional, unreliable person I’ve ever dealt with. Words can’t even express by disappointment right now.
He’s also now black listed by the rest of my vendors for pulling this stunt, so sucks for him.
Do yourself a favor and find someone else. I don’t want any more brides-​to-​be to have this happen to them.
