  • My wedding was LIT!!!!!!

    I met Jimmy Grizzley at the Uncorked Wine Festival durning the summer. He was absolutely killing it on the decks and I got his contact info because we were looking for a DJ for our wedding. I checked his reviews and it was reasuring to see how long he had been in the game and all the great stuff previous clients had to say about him. We hired him and it was so smooth working with him on our musical selections. He has a really easy process to use as I am not that tech savvy! Came our big day we knew he would kill it! I loved the lighting (we got the advanced/intelligent package) and the music was off the chart. He mixed in originals as well as some remixes and kept the dancefloor moving all night. I feel there is a big difference between the wedding DJ options out there and Jimmy Grizz brings an amazing mix of both professional class with some big time swag! Hire him if you want the best in the business for your wedding!

    As a wedding planner, I've worked with GE Productions on countless weddings for years. He consistently delivers professional, customized service and cares for each of his clients. In his planning process, DJ Jimmy Grizzley is incredibly thorough regarding song selection for the most important moments of the wedding day. During the event, he will never push play on a playlist and step away from his DJ station. He curates music and actively mixes it together on site keeping energy high and your guests on the dance floor. He works well with other vendors following timelines meticulously. As the coordinator hired for Alex M's wedding (see below), I'm confused by the disappointment expressed. Alex's guests danced the entire reception. The cake cutting was both announced, staged, documented, and well-attended. He played their special song during the process as well. These clients were challenging, but DJ Jimmy Grizzley knocked it out of the park as usual!

    My coordinator said this was her favorite DJ and we now know why!! Peter was very detailed in our initial consultation and went over all of his services and everything that sets them apart from other DJs out there. The muscial selection system he uses is amazing and super easy. We had listened to some of his mixes before so we knew he loved his craft. On our big day eveything went super smooth! His lighting is amazing, I highly recommend the advanced uplighting. He is a great emcee and his music is awesome. He has some remixes that are awesome and he really knows how to read a crowd. Can't say enough about this man and how wonderful our experience was!! Thank you!!

    When initially introduced to GE Productions we were very excited to see the many high rated reviews for this DJ, but unfortunately after our experience we regret using him as our music service for a multitude of reasons. Prior to the wedding DJ Jimmy Grizzly sent a word document to be filled out by us detailing information about what type of songs should be played, what the no-plays were, etc. On this document we identified 10-15 “must play” songs throughout the course of the night, and verbally emphasized how important many of them were to our history/relationship. Not only did they not all get played, but after emphasizing the importance of at least two slow dances there was not a single one during the two-and-a-half-hour long dance portion of the reception. Two of the groomsmen on two different occasions went to him requesting a song from the “must-play” list, and were both told no. At the beginning of the reception the bride recognized that there were songs clearly not coming from the provided playlists which prompted one of the bridesmaids to notify the DJ to use the curated music. He continued to disregard this request, and used songs that were clearly from his own batch of music throughout the night. At one point during cocktail hour the groom realized that the special surprise song to be used for the mother-son dance was being played, and was in no way included in the cocktail hour playlist provided by us. We emphasized to him the importance of the cake cutting ceremony seeing as it was a generational family tradition and stressed that all guests would be directed to observing it. He made a very small and brief message about the cake cutting, and continued to play dance music throughout it. We found out after the fact that a number of guests, to include family members, had no idea that the cake cutting had even taken place and missed it entirely. The worst failure on his part occurred when he failed to follow the timeline, and blatantly forgot the blessing of the meal to be given by the groom’s grandparents. In the month prior to the wedding they had called/texted on a weekly basis emphasizing how honored and excited they were to have a part in the day. His failure to adhere to a simple timeline took away this once-in-a-lifetime moment for them that cannot be given back. Knowing what we know now, we do not recommend the services of GE Productions. It was clear that the emphasis was placed on personal desires for DJing, and not focused on what was important to us on our special day.
