Hi Nik,
Natalie and I just got back from a wonderful honeymoon in
Europe. We wanted to thank you for your work in coordinating and dj'ing our
wedding. Everything went smoothly. Everyone that I've spoken
to has told us what a great time they had! Your musical choices were
right on target!
Thank you again for helping to make our
wedding the memorable and important day that it was!

Hi Nik,
Thanks again for your great services! You were very loyal
to our playlist and had a good sense of what to play when. We were very pleased
that people were dancing almost the entire time
once the tunes started spinning.
We had a
fantastic time, and everyone else did too!
Best regards,
Jennifer Whitelaw

Thank you so much
Nik,
Jenn and I just wanted to write to thank you so much for
what a splendid job you did at our wedding. We could not
have asked for a better DJ.
You played the perfect music all the way through the reception, from the
beginning to our last dance.
You made our
perfect day all the more enjoyable without any hassles or worries thanks to your
thorough wedding planning.
You did an incredible job working seamlessly with hall staff to make
sure everything went smoothly and was timed perfectly.
We really
appreciate all you did!
Again, thank you so much!

Hi Nik,
We had a
great time!!!
We commend
you for dealing with two people who are very much in love, who wanted a great
wedding, and who did not have the time or inclination to plan it all out. We
applaud you for persistence in asking a bunch of questions related to how our
night should go, when we ourselves did not have a concrete vision. After coaxing
and questions, you developed a wedding plan for the evening
that we could not have achieved without your patience and insight, and it was a
plan that matched our style and level of comfort with the party that we
wanted!
Our specific needs required you to be
sensitive and you were a DREAM COME TRUE!
All guests, including BRIDE and GROOM had a fantastic
time, and our diverse crowd of the 3 year old up to the 85 year old, with all in
between, offered generous praise for our thoughtful planning, and this is all
due to you!
THANK YOU!
While we don't anticipate planning
another wedding in the near future, we certainly would recommend your service to
anyone planning a major event!

Hi Nik,
Chris and I just returned from our fabulous honeymoon so
it's back to reality now and I just wanted to send you a quick email. We wanted
to thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding
really reading the crowd
.
I also wanted to thank you for
finding such a very talented pianist and saxophone player. When I was walking down the aisle and I heard the sax and the
piano, it brought tears to my eyes because it was even better than I ever
imagined it could be!
Their
performance during the ceremony was done so perfectly. I would really appreciate
it if you could send me their names and their email addresses because I would
love to thank them personally.
Thanks again for everything Nik, you
really made our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and more!

Dear Nik,
Christina and I wanted to
take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful job you did with our
wedding this past September on Cape Cod . We found you to be very thorough,
professional, attentive and responsive to our needs.
This was especially
impressive in light of the fact that we were separated by some five hundred
miles and didn’t meet in person until the day of the wedding. You further
impressed us by adapting your schedule to our hectic lives as two young
professionals.
The wedding ceremony was beautiful
and The Rutland String Ensemble that you contracted with provided truly beautiful live instrumental music for the ceremony and
cocktail hour. Further, you did an excellent job responding to our guests
requests and keeping the party going while still respecting
our wishes for the type of music we wanted at the wedding reception
.
In sum, you did an excellent job and we were very pleased with your service.
Please feel free to recommend us as your advocates to potential clients
in the future and when we host our wedding anniversary on Cape Cod we hope
you’ll be the one playing the music!
Very Sincerely Yours,
Chris
and Patrick

Dear
Nik,
We apologize for the delay in
writing to you, but wanted to wait and find the time to give
you the thank-you you deserved for the outstanding service we received for our
wedding. Both of us were extremely happy
and
delighted with the musical entertainment you provided at our wedding reception,
which helped make our special day just perfect.
Friends of ours got
married a few weeks before we did and like us, they were very specific about
what music they wanted to hear. Unfortunately, despite their DJ telling them he
would play their request list and not play certain ‘wedding songs’ they did not
like, he in fact did the opposite. Although they enjoyed their wedding, they
were very disappointed with the music at their reception. Having heard this
story about other DJs, we were apprehensive. It was therefore so reassuring to
speak with you before our wedding and go over all the songs we didn’t want to
hear and suggest to you so many songs and themes for the evening that we wanted
to hear. We are sorry this conversation took-up 2 hours of your time, but we
really appreciated it! We also greatly appreciated the opportunity to have this
discussion and plan the music with you as we are both very particular about our
musical taste.
The music
planning guide you sent us was great! We could put all those cheesy
wedding songs on the ‘Do Not play list’. We would also like to commend your
modesty in embracing us suggesting and supplying songs and play lists over the
evening and following through with this promise. I very much
doubt most DJs would have allowed us to send 5 CDs of suggested songs
– and
thank you for checking all of them and taking the effort to replace one of the
songs on the CDs that skipped. It was great to hear so many of our favorite
songs (including the obscure ones) played during the evening and not just the
choice of the DJ.
Your thoroughness was excellent! Even
the banquet manager at the reception in our pre-wedding meeting went through
your wedding plan
to work out timings and order of proceedings. This and our planning meeting
meant the flow of the evening was just as we had wanted. When we both arrived
after our pictures, we were excited to see how the reception looked and see
people enjoying themselves. We then both realized; “he’s playing Travis!” It was
great to spend a couple of minutes looking down on our wedding reception and
hearing the exact songs we wanted – it made for the perfect atmosphere.
We would
also like to thank your professionalism throughout the evening. The sound system and lighting were
excellent; your ‘emceeing’ was as we requested understated and not
cheesy; and it was very good of you to help out our other vendors get
their meals, etc; allowing us to enjoy our evening. Thank
you also for your professionalism in respecting our ‘Do Not play list’,
especially in the face of constant drunken requests and politely explaining it
was our choice!
Nik, we
both wish to thank you for helping to create the perfect ambience for our
wedding reception. You did exactly what you said you would
do, and exactly what we had asked for, at the price we agreed. I wasn’t sure if
a DJ was going to be so honest and respectful, but you certainly were and went a
whole lot further.
You did a great job and were the perfect choice.
We’re only getting married the once, but if we were able to, we would definitely
hire you again!!!
We wish you every success in the future and thank you
once again!
Best wishes,
AJ Bownas & Abby Wolfson

This letter is a recommendation for Nik Shukla, DJ/Master of
Ceremonies. Nik was the DJ/MC for our wedding on October 2, 2005.
We only had a
few months to plan our wedding. Therefore, we did not think we would have much
choice when looking for a DJ on short notice, but we were quite lucky in finding
Nik. He had a cancellation and was available to work at our wedding. We spent
quite some time talking with Nik when we first contacted him. We were
immediately impressed with him. We could tell right away
that he really cared about the couples and their special day.
He is easy to get along with and quite
flexible.
While Nik’s pricing may not be the
cheapest, he offers a great package deal; there are no hidden costs. This
impressed us greatly as most people these days are out to make an easy buck
anyway they can. That usually means hidden costs and shoddy work. This is not so
with Nik. His services were provided exactly as he
explained and emailed us in writing.
We were concerned that the DJ we hired would play a lot of
the “cheesy” wedding songs like the Electric Slide. We really didn't want many
of these songs played at our wedding. Nik not only honored this request but
encourages that all of his couples fill out a detailed music worksheet which
tells him what should and should not be played. He got a few
requests for songs which were on our do-not-play list and he politely told the
guests that we did not want certain songs played. He offered some alternatives
but respected our musical specifications.
Nik arrived with plenty of time to set up. He was wearing a
tuxedo and was just as friendly as he was on the
phone
. He introduced
himself to the owner of the restaurant and worked with him to coordinate the
introductions, cake cutting, speeches, and other parts of the reception.
Everything went very smoothly.
We had live musicians playing during the
cocktail hour and Nik introduced them and functioned as MC. After dinner, he
took over for the remainder of the evening. Some of our guests left early as
they had to drive home that evening, but Nik continued to play even when there
were only a few guests left. He did not pack up until we decided it was time to
end the evening.
Our families are not big dancers and spent much of the
evening socializing and catching up. Nik still filled the
dance floor. He even had some guests dancing who we never expected to see on the
dance floor. While some
may highlight Nik’s ability to read the crowd and play music they would enjoy,
we would have to say that his most under-rated “value-added” quality was being
able to read US, the bride and groom, and make sure we were having a wonderful
time!
Trevor's family
was a little apprehensive when we told them we were hiring a DJ. They have many
talented musician friends and thought we should have a band instead of a DJ. We
did have live music for the cocktail hour but still hired Nik. After the party,
Trevor's mother told us she was pleasantly surprised.
Everyone loved Nik and said he did a fantastic job!
Jenn and I highly recommend Nik for his professionalism and amazing
flexibility!
He was an asset to our reception and was worth every penny!
Sincerely,
Jennifer and Trevor Clarke
