Ultimate Sounds DJS..long

So yesterday I went with the FI and a BM to have a second meeting with Ultimate Sounds in Queens. I actually brought my check book along thinking if all went well that we'd book.
When we got there Frank, the owner was busy and we wound up speaking with some guy Robert.
****Robert was rude, abbrasive, and pushy.**** Geo and I are steering away from some of the more traditional formalities of the wedding....ex: no boquet toss, there will be no wedding cake and therefore no cake cutting music (Vienese instead), and we are having a buffet dinner so that people can dance all nite.
*Robert basically TOLD ME I WAS PLANNING MY WEDDING ALL WRONG! *
*When I asked what kind of music he would suggest for my event HE ASKED ME IF I WAS HAVING A 'WHITE WEDDING'!!!!! (I guess the color of my gusts dictates the quality of service)
*He told me that PEOPLE EXPECT TO DO THE MACARENA AT WEDDINGS AND WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF I DONT PLAY IT...
*He told me THAT BY NOT HAVING A CAKE I WAS TAKING AWAY FROM THE FORMALITY AND TRADITION OF THE EVENT.
~~When we asked him why he had the opinions he had all he could say was, 'I have 20 years in the business..' SO WHAT>>>!!????!! A good Dj/MC works with the type pf party and with the flow and moomentum of the room and night...they DO NOT DICTATE THEIR OWN FRIGGIN' CRUSTY WEDDING IDEAS ON OTHERS!

I'm so sorry to be ranting, but he basically put down the decisions Geo and I made with good reason, and TOLD ME MY WEDDING WOULD BE CRAP (he knows, he has 20 yrs in the business) . *HE ACTUALLY ARGUED with me about it. He got loud with my BM and the owner Frank had to COME OVER and try to redirect the conversation.
The truth is, this guy Robert showed me his Mc video in the same sitting and it SUCKED!!!! No one was dancing. He just kept babbling in the the mic.
Well, not using THEM.
I met with Mark of Energy Entrtainment last week and he was the coolest guy! I'll aslo be meeting with FM Entertainment.

WOW, I can't believe how unprofessional this guy was. I mean he is in the service business and what the customer wants is what the customer gets. To sit there and tell you your wedding will be crap is just plain rude & disgusting. With 20 years experience, he should know how to talk to people and he should also know how to work a crowd (he obviously lacks in those two very important skills)...I would run far far far away from this company. Don't let some idiot ruin your planning experience. You are going to have a great wedding and all of your guests will enjoy it!!!!

I'm so glad you didn't book with them and also didn't let this jerk dictate your wedding day. Good luck finding someone new!!!

Sorry, but I've heard some similar things about Ultimate Sound DJs and a bunch of ladies on these boards (myself included) received some very nasty FMs from them.

Definitely try FM I thought they were really good. Im thinking of booking them. First off people need to realize this is your wedding and not there's just do your job I want to say to them.

Wow Alicia..I can't believe that!
I am glad that I took the time to post, just to get the name out there. They may have worked well for other people, but no one deserves to be yelled at while visiting a vendor...no nasty FM.
Ridiculous

Wow ~ It is your day....if you don't want something in your wedding that is your choice...Very unprofessional. When we were talking to our DJ my FH doesnt care fo DJ's so we have a list of songs not to play ect and he was like no problem...

Good Luck ~ that totally stinks! Sorry to hear you had to go through that...

That is unbelievable. My Family owns a DJ/ Entertainment company and I would be embarrassed if any member of our team treated anyone like that. It is unacceptable and unprofessional. The customer is always right.

thats one way to run your business in the ground....refuse to give the customer what the customer wants....glad you are looking elsewhere

um...yeah i think ultimate sounds was a vendor (they may still be, not sure) on here...but i know they DEFINITELY got suspended from here a little while back...cause someone from there sent myself and a few other ladies on LIW a VERY VERY VERY nasty FM. (it was cause someone was boasting about them, a newbie with 2 posts and both were about how great ultimate sounds was and that everyone should book them) some of us posted the ole' and i guess whomever at ultimate saw that as an insult or something and actually stated: 'Some of you have overpaid for your DJ services and I'm glad that you did...'

Re: Ultimate Sounds DJS..long

i was wondering what that was about??!! Nice business attitude...the BEST is that guy Robert..yeah the jerk...called me a week later to see if we wanted to BOOK!
I'd rather set up a boom box and let my students man the tuner than let them near my guests!
