I had read many great reviews from other brides about Doremixx (www.doremixx.com) as a DJ for other wedding in the Cancun/Playa Del Carmen area and Doremixx was even better than I imagined.  Believe me, this is a compliment, because I am the pickiest bride.  I was very nervous, since I am live in California and didn’t know what to expect from a DJ in Mexico.  I have to say Ivan who owns Doremixx runs one of the best DJ companies in Mexico.  He assigned DJ Temo to my wedding and he was fabulous!  He spoke great English and was very professional! My wedding was in Playa del Carmen, Mexico on November 12, 2010. 

Doremixx DJ services are better than any DJ I’ve experienced at weddings in the United States. They are the first DJ I have ever experienced at any wedding that could get the older parents/grandparents in the crowd dancing as much as the younger crowd.  Everyone was having the best time and hardly anyone was sitting, they were all dancing – ALL NIGHT!  Unbelievable!  I even got grandpa break dancing by the end of the evening.  I’ve never seen him so happy.  I did give Ivan (the owner) of Doremixx a list of songs and DJ Temo followed my directions to a tee, including when to play the wedding march, first dance, all my announcements, etc.  Doremixx was the best, because during the dancing portion of the wedding (after dinner) DJ Temo took my suggested songs and added his own flare.   He mixed some oldies and some new hip music, but melded it together beautifully.  He even took music requests at the wedding from guests and could download music in seconds.  DJ Temo told me that he changes the music based on the crowd.  So if a song wasn’t getting the crowd going, he would go back to the style of music that got the crowd excited.  It’s a bit of trial and error at first, but once he figures out the right style, he sticks within a set of music that works for the crowd.  Isn’t that what you pay a DJ to do?  Doremixx did it perfectly! 

Doremixx is the only DJ company I know that provides cold fireworks during the first dance to make it more romantic and dramatic.  We choreographed a first dance by mixing 3 different songs, and DJ Temo ignited the cold fireworks on the dance floor right at the perfect time just as I asked.  You can also order a light up dance floor from them if you have your reception on the beach. I read in reviews that this was a great feature. Doremixx also hands out these cool dance props (different colored masks, balloons, and glow sticks) to the wedding guests to use while dancing.  I’ll try to attach some photos to the review so you can see. When I saw that as part of the DJ package, I didn’t think much of it, but it was actually the biggest hit at the wedding.  No other DJ that I have seen provides these giveways…it added to the festive atmosphere at the wedding.  People were raving about it!  The wedding guests actually thought I bought those items and gave them to the DJ to hand out, because nobody had received such things from a DJ before at other weddings.  It made me look like the superstar bride.

The only thing Ivan can work on is responding to emails more quickly.  I was a nervous bride, so when I didn’t get a response from Ivan within 24-48 hours, I got nervous. Just know that he is very busy, but completely reliable.  The week of my wedding we met 3 days before the wedding day to go over the music list I emailed him. He was on top of all the details.  I felt so confident after our meeting and going into the wedding.  I had a wedding coordinator in Mexico (Erica Bresson @ http://www.weddingsinplaya.com/aboutus.html).  She was amazing!  I so highly recommend her and she took over communications with Ivan of Doremixx. It was easier for her to contact him via phone and to meet with him about DJ service details for my wedding since they live near each other in Mexico.    

All in all, Ivan and DJ Temo of Doremixx far exceeded my expectations!  Two months after the wedding I still have wedding guests raving about the DJ at our wedding.  That says it all to me. I picked the best DJ in Mexico!  I have found that the things people remember about your wedding are your vows to each other, the beautiful location and setting of your wedding, and the DJ.  You get these things right and you’ll have the best wedding ever that your friends and family will rave about.  So book Doremixx early, because they get booked fast so you can get one of the three things done right!
