The Mad Platter - Testimonials

"Dave Cuneo was the best investment we could have made in our wedding. Having been to a wedding where Dave had DJed before, we knew he was good and we had high expectations – Dave easily exceeded those. From his creative song ideas, expertise in planning a reception timeline, and willingness to meet and make himself available whenever (and wherever) necessary, it was clear that we had no reason to stress about the reception because we knew that he had it under control. We appreciated the fact that he continuously was in contact with us throughout the process and made us feel at ease when the actual wedding day came. Dave led a heck of a party, appealing to our age-diverse crowd through his music and wit. We even had to extend the night when no one left the dance floor, and Dave was easily accommodating. You certainly can’t go wrong with Dave Cuneo leading your event."

"Thank you thank you thank you! Everything was wonderful! Not one thing went wrong and services exceeded my expectations.

Again, thank you Dave for always getting back to me right away and keeping me on track with every detail that goes into the big day. We were more than satisfied with everything we got! Thank you for making our day more memorable then we could have imagined."

"We would highly recommend Dave Cuneo as a DJ for your wedding or event. Dave’s expertise does not just start on the day of the event but he was so helpful in guiding us through the process of the wedding planning and music decisions. He met with us to help us with the reception timeline and helped us choose songs that were fitting for our wedding and us as a couple. At our wedding the dance floor was packed and everyone enjoyed the variety of music that Dave played. He kept the reception moving smoothly and provided the right atmosphere that we wanted. Dave also checked in on us during the reception to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him. He is worth every penny!"

"Thank you for the best and most fun wedding reception I have ever attended! A great sound system and excellent music selection. Most of all, your master of ceremony skills engaged the multi-national crowd and set the mood for the night—full-on celebration! You kept the dance floor full all night, but the sound level was perfect for easy conversation. You are a master of your craft!"
David W. 03/11

"Wow!!!! Dave Cuneo, The Mad Platter is just GREAT!!!! Dave has been the DJ at our last four company holiday parties, and we hope to have him continue to do so in the future. Dave takes the worry and stress out of planning such a huge event. He is a great MC and really gets everyone involved. With Dave on board, I know everything will be handled in a professional manner and will actually leave time for me to enjoy the party too."
Tamatha C. 02/11

"When my fiancé Matthew and I were in the middle of the hustle and bustle of wedding day plans, we had given up on our vision of reception music. We were in the midst of cracking out the iPod and becoming quite frustrated with music choices and the overwhelming options of crowd pleasing songs. We were not enjoying this at all. When we found The Mad Platter, Dave was able to calm us down and take us both through the steps of a perfect reception. Dave met with us many times at our convenience and provided us with the optimum wedding advice, not only about music! When all the details were finalized with the reception, Dave continued to touch base with us to ensure our day was exactly what we had envisioned! On the day of, Dave allowed Matthew and me the comfort of knowing every moment would count. The music choices, announcements, side comments, and coordination of the reception site all were in perfect hands! My mother, bridal party, and every one in between were able to trust in Dave that every second counted on a day that flew by! Matthew and I would highly recommend The Mad Platter to anyone who wants to enjoy their wedding day without the worries and stress of small and major details in regards to music and coordination of their best party ever! Thank you Dave for everything. We still receive compliments to your grace, humor, timing, an most of all your heart! Blessings."
Katherine and Matthew Y. 01/11

"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Dave on a couple of occasions now and have found him to be not only a consummate professional, but a respectful, hard-working vendor who truly cares more about his clients than himself. He has spent many hours with me working out timelines, confirming details, and ensuring that all the minutia is taken care of before showing up on the day of the Wedding. He constantly goes above and beyond what he’s asked to do, only in the hopes of providing the best possible service to his (and my) clients. And once Dave arrives on site, he is not only on-time, he’s often early. He works hard to get his equipment set up and double checks to ensure that it’s working correctly. Once the event starts he is dressed to the nines and works hard for the duration of the event. His sense of calm, and his personal charm, win over the crowd every time and he successfully orchestrates the evening for my clients every time. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get better than Dave."
