Anyway Im his getting married October 21st and he said thathis brother is getting married at a island and he is his best man and he may not ne able to do my wedding. Isnt this ********. Anyway he said he would let me know on Monday if he can do my wedding. What should I do? How can i trust him? Plus he was rude when i told him that I did not want to wait around . Im so upset.

oh my goodness, that's crazy.

I would start calling other DJ's and tell him to forget it, and give back any $ you deposited with him.

I would start shopping around. I wouldn't trust him even if he called to say he could do it. I would have a big fear of him just not showing up. If you gave him a deposit I would request it back asap and look elsewhere!! JMO, Good Luck!!

Do you have a contract w/ him? Did you give him any $$? I would start looking right away, but if there is a contract wouldn't he be obligated to perform his duties?

Find a DJ who is reliable and who takes his job seriously! I would definitely not deal with this guy anymore.

Good luck.

thats horrible sorry to hear about that. What does your contract say about cancellations? At the very LEAST a refund on your deposit immediatley.

Check your contract...I am sureonce you signed a ocntracy he has to be there. But, at this point I would be afraid of him not showing up, ask for your deposit back and get another DJ.

Sorry to hear that so close to your wedding

Thanks guys. The contract says if cancelled 4 months prior then he keeps 50% and I gave him a depoist of 1000. I know I gave him too much. He was my first vendor and I was so excited. Im going o start shopping. do you think it is too late. I know body rock has my date , but Im afraid of them because I heard mixed things.

I am sure you can find someone. The guy that's doing mine is awesome, but he's not from some big company. If you're interested FM me.

I used Body Rock for my wedding in June and they were awesome. My sister used them for her wedding last year and they were awesome. I would not worry at all about them, they are fantastic

That cancellation policy should only be applied if YOU cancelled the deal, which you didn't. You should be entitled to 100% of your deposit because HE can't do the job and this is completely out of your control. Make sure you get all of your money back!! Good luck to you.
