Also I have a friend who will be playing the guitar (Jack Johnson - Better Together) for our first dance and I needed to know if he could hook up to his speakers =) I will keep you posted! Good Luck

Definitely let us know! That is so weird that he quoted a different price. I just double checked it too. If you want, PM me and I can forward you the e-mail.
What a nice touch that your friend is playing guitar for your first dance! I love that!

All of them mentioned MC'ing/announcing for us as well, so maybe I assume too much but I am pretty sure that the english thing will be no problem.
I am in the process of placing a deposit with doremixx. The extras aren't really our thing either! But, it is a nice option anyways. Another thing I liked (and am sure the other would do provide the same) is that Ivan also wants to come to the resort and meet with us a couple days prior. Nice little bonus if we have any last minute q's or concerns.

That's great that he wants to meet you. It's nice to have a little intro before people are providing a service, escpecially one like this =)

I will definitely keep you posted on DJ Bob, if he gets back to me. I'll give him a few more days =) Everyone said, he's good about responding, but so far it's been a little wait :-/

I would try e-mailing him again...maybe it didn't go through properly? Serioulsy, the longest time it took any of the DJ's to get back to me was three hours...and he apologized for taking so long to respond!

[finleys7]

I emailed again... I hope I hear something....

thanks ladies =)

I too am using Ivan/Doremixx, he got great reviews and is a Vendor on this site, good luck with whomever you chose He was quick to respond, has a great playlist and/or choice of songs, ton's of fun props and even a lighted dance floor if you want!!! Can't wait to use him at my April 28, 2010 wedding!!!

Sent my deposit to Ivan at Doremixx a couple of days ago. He has been very responsive and great to work with so far. He asked for any songs we might like, but stressed that they can get anything for us last minute.
I also made a having a bad week at work/bride brain mistake when I sent off the signed contract the other day. I meant to send it to both of his e-mail addresses, but I sent a copy of our agreement to another DJ instead! OOPS! Good thing the other DJ had a full inbox or something and my e-mail did not go through.
It was actually kind of funny. Ivan e-mailed me back saying thanks and confirming that he recevied my e-mail and said "one question: why did you send the agreement to another DJ?" He was really good about it though, fortunately, but I felt really bad!

[finleys7]

Email things like that happen ALL THE TIME! As long as he wasn't offended, I am sure you are fine.

We are still waiting for one more quote, but I think we are going with DJ Bob.

Does DOREMIXX DJ in English?

[ChristinaP]

Ivan seemed to be fine with it. I apologized to him and he seemed very understanding.

He did say they would MC, so I am assuming it would be in English. I suppose I should clarify. Sounds like this is very important to you though, so might be a good idea to stick with what you are comfortable with.

[finleys7]

Okay, so I got confirmation that the MC does speak english and we will be announced that way.

Ivan was GREAT and has been so responsive. We are going with Doremixx. We are looking over the contract now =) I am very excited. Thanks for the help!

Hi Ladies! I am going to be meeting with DJ DoreMixx when I do my site visit in a couple of weeks. I plan on giving him our list of songs then and making sure that he will play all of them. Are there any other concerns that anyone has that you want me to address with him since I am meeting him in person??
