Bialek's Music

In trying to be as objective as possible I will say this: Bialek’s was able to provide us a good sound system on three different decks of a boat, a DJ (Mark) that was experienced at working on boats, and a reception playlist that we danced the night away with at a reasonable price. However, though we indeed danced the night away and had the best party of our lives, it must also be stated that the DJ: almost fumbled the bridal entrance music, waited to play my best man’s walk up song until during his speech and so I had to signal for him to turn it off and I couldn’t catch the beginning of the speech, played the full length of almost every reception song instead of fading in and out as requested, and perhaps most obviously egregiously: only played two of our four “Must Play” songs we provided him. We were far too lenient in giving the reins over to the DJ considering how we spent hours and hours coming up with our reception list of songs that we had broken out into: “Must Play”, “Really Want”, and “Suggestions”. Almost nothing was taken into consideration from our “Really Want” list. Learn from us and be so much more firm and specific. But even then, it’s not like he fully listened to our Must Play list either. The lesson I would take from our experience is therefore this: Bialek knows what they’re doing with setup, you can trust them to be there and have your back for the actual functioning of your event. But you need to Lock In for your special moments. Be specific and firm about your requests and honestly get it in writing. Don’t take for granted that Blurred Lines will be on a No Play List, that your little-known but special-to-you songs will be played exactly as you suggested, and that just because you sent the list of must plays that it’ll be taken into proper consideration.
