First City Events

We hired First City Events (Specifically Jeff) to DJ our wedding reception. Jeff was professional and played mostly what was asked but we’re not super thrilled with a few things.
— We did not want a entrance song. We felt that it didn’t fit us as a couple and we didn’t want it to be cheesy so we asked for just a background beat and an MC intro. What we got was probably the song that I would answer if you asked what my least favorite entrance song would be. He played «Tonight’s gonna be a good night» by Black Eyed Peas which I hate!
— He barely said a word! He did not really MC anything, he did not make much attempt to get anyone on the dance floor and he didn’t even pump up the crowd for the bouquet toss.
— Email responsiveness was sometimes slow. I had to ask twice for a final invoice.
Overall, it was a DJ and he played music for dinner and the reception and it was ok but we were not impressed. We payed an extra $ 100 to get Jeff and I don’t feel we got any additional value out of this. A few of our family members complained to us at the end of the night that he was boring.
So if you want someone professional and not cheesy to DJ your event, this would be an ok choice but if you really want a lively party, I’d probably look at some other options.

We completely lucked out by finding DJ Jeff and Bonnie from First City Events! We planned our Savannah, GA wedding from California and only had online reviews to rely on. DJ Jeff totally MADE our wedding! We aren’t big dancers so told Jeff we wanted more of a «cocktail atmosphere». We provided him with a short list of artists we liked and told him to take it from there. Not once did we hear a song we didn’t like AND he got all the guests on the dance floor — including US!!! He made our wedding into a real party and we all had a spectacular time because of him. Book DJ Jeff immediately — you won’t be disappointed!
And while you’re booking DJ Jeff, book Bonnie as your coordinator! In the middle of our wedding planning, it got a bit nuts (as weddings do!) and I emailed Bonnie to see if she could join us for a vendor meeting that we were flying into town for — in two days! She responded very fast and said of course. The meeting went great and we booked her as a «Day of Coordinator». Boy is she more than «Day of»! Bonnie went above and beyond to help out with anything possible — I ended up contacting her for help finding local vendors, restaurant suggestions, salons, etc. Starting about 3 weeks before the wedding she took all my vendors’ info and became the main contact — huge weight off my shoulders and saved me hours! At our rehearsal I am certain I threw 25 new things at her that I wanted and at our wedding reception everything was exactly as I had asked! Also important — she kept the evening right on schedule. Because of her, our wedding went absolutely perfectly and I had nothing to stress about! It was all about my new husband and I celebrating with our friends. I encourage ALL brides to hire Bonnie (and Jeff!) so you can have a stress-​free, perfect wedding!

Bonnie and Jeff at First City Events were absolutely key to the flow of our wedding day. We hired DJ Jeff as our DJ for the reception and hired Bonnie «Peaceful Day Package» as our coordinator. I can not rave enough about how wonderful they were. Bonnie was there for us every moment of the day and went above and BEYOND our expectations. DJ Jeff was an AMAZING DJ. He had our guests on the dance floor the whole night and completely kept the energy alive through out our reception. My husband and I have been married 7 months and we still are talking about how wonderful our wedding was! THANK YOU BONNIE AND JEFF! =)
