Thank you for making our music entertainment process so easy and fun! We found your website playlist form easy to use and helpful for planning. Our DJ was amazing day of our wedding - it started to rain and he managed to pipe our processional music safely from his van to keep all the equipment safe but not compromise our ceremony! True professionals. The reception was so much fun and all the music kept to our choices and preferred genres. Thank you for being such an important part of our special day :)

Lots of Fun, but Not Professional or Prompt Service
I will say this - Tiger 8 prides themselves on "Party Rockin'" (their words) and they were true to that! The DJ who did our wedding Matt "The Cardigan" was awesome, he was a really great guy. He met with us in advance to go over every detail, was super friendly and understanding, and even stepped in to perform MC duties when our friend had to back out at the last second. I have absolutely no qualms with him or his work, he helped us have a GREAT party. Additionally, we hired Aaron as a pianist for our ceremony through Tiger8, and he also did an incredible job. Was super friendly and accommodating, played great, and even learned new songs for us and played ukelele too. He was so good that someone told me they thought it was the recorded version of the songs he sang. Would hire both Aaron and Matt again any day.
HOWEVER, it wouldn't be a true review if we didn't mention the negatives too. We had to remind Tiger8's management to fulfill their end of the contract on multiple occasions. First, to set up our online portal so we could start inputting our songs and information. After our first meet and greet, they'd said that portal would be up shortly after, but after a month of not seeing it, I reached out to them, with their only excuse being that they were busy and "behind". Then again later, I asked if we'd been assigned a specific DJ yet, and they reminded me that they were usually assigned 60-90 days before the event. Well, 30 days before, we still had no DJ assigned and they were asking for final payment. We refused to pay until they had lined us up with someone (60 days later than promised) and had met up with him (and that was the aforementioned DJ Matt, who was great). Overall the professionalism just wasn't really there. They always apologized but their excuses made it seem like we just weren't that valued of clients. In the end it worked out, but it was a lot of unnecessary stress for an already high-strung bride like myself.

Tiger8 and our DJ Peter truly delivered! Their decor/lighting offerings are great and looked perfect at our venue. Their online tool for music selection made things so effortless and assured - we could easily list the music we did not want to hear and the music we had to hear. Peter was also very skilled at contributing to the wedding overall with little musical touches here and there that truly made a difference.
