Unfortunately unimpressed

I hate to say it, but we were not at all impressed. In talking with Jenny ahead of time, she seemed like a passionate and professional DJ and MC. What we got was someone who basically hit “play” on a playlist that looked similar to what we provided while sitting down behind a table the whole night and occasionally making unenthusiastic announcements. The big things: -As the bride I didn’t know until after, but our 3 song processional turned into 4 songs as a random song was played while my mom walked down the aisle. Luckily she did play the 3 we asked for after that, but we’re not sure where that first one came from. -I had put together a 4-song compilation for our introductions, and there were 4 groups to be introduced. Could I have given her more detailed instructions? Sure. But I thought it was self explanatory enough. Instead of announcing one group per song, she ran right through the introductions, making the time and effort I put into it a waste and messing up how we wanted our most important people introduced. She also cut the final song short, going right into our first dance, which leads me to... -We had choreographed our first dance, starting right at the beginning of the song, but with her blending it with our intro song, we were not in position and missed the beginning of our first dance. -Similarly, the father daughter song, which she knew was important to me, started while my dad and I were still on the other side of the room and not at all in position to begin dancing. -She only played 1 out of the 4 line dances I asked her to (I can’t believe I didn’t get to do the electric slide at my wedding!) -Topping it all off was our last song of the night. “All My Life” which naturally fades out to a beautiful ending, and instead she cut it off and then that was it. Party over. Those of us left on the dance floor just sort of looked at each other and my MOH says “that was abrupt…” So, if I had to say some good things, she was there on time and had the right equipment, and played a lot of the songs I asked her to. But, I could have saved A LOT of money by just setting up an iPad and some speakers. I was hoping for a DJ and an MC who would play the right things at the right time and help guide my guests’ attention in the right way, and provide entertainment, not just play a playlist. TL;DR: From playing the wrong song at the beginning of our processional, to messing up our introductions at the start of the reception to cutting our last song short at the end, we were underwhelmed at best, and overall left frustrated and disappointed with our experience.
