Aaron with AVSD was exactly what we needed and wanted in a DJ. He was the first vendor we booked and couldn't wait to see what he'd do for us on our big day. ...wow, what a great night we had. I danced alllll night long. Trust me -- I AM NOT A DANCER! I look ridiculous! But who doesn't want to dance on the night of their reception?! Aaron was professional, prompt, met with us twice in person before the wedding, and responded to emails quickly. I am so pleased with AVSD! And - their price was EXTREMELY reasonable. We even got LED lights thrown in. We booked him more than a year out, as our wedding was 11/11/11. I just can't say enough good things. Everything we wanted, he did. He didn't play ANYTHING I don't like (Gaga, Ke$ha, etc) and was just fabulous to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Aaron was our DJ and he did an amazing job! He was able to get the guests up and dancing while playing a great variety of music. I would recommend him without hesitation!

Richard provided exceptional lighting and monogram services to us. When i saw our venue for the first time the gobo (monogram with our name initals in the middle of the dance floor) along with our uplights hands down was the perfect touch to making our wedding a DREAM wedding. We had so many compliments on the uplights inside and outside of our venue. In additional to the great product, richard came dressed for the occasion!!! He looked very professional and I wouldnt have chosen any other company or person to be apart of our VERY SPECIAL DAY :-)

Aaron from AVS was the definition of perfection. Aaron is so professional and met with me several times to ease my worries about song choices, the flow of our ceremony and reception, gave me fun and unique ideas and was all around just amazing. He pays extra attention to details and creates your night... exactly the way you've always envisioned it to run. He has great song suggestions and can help you decide which songs are best for the guests at your wedding. He arrives on time, prepared and ready to work. He also came to my rehearsal which I loved - it was nice being able to run through the day EXACTLY the way it would happen... it definitely calmed my nerves!DO NOT GO WITH ANYONE ELSE... A VERY SPECIAL DAY is the BEST!

AMAZING, all the review are correct. My only regret is not letting AVSD do all the lighting, and DJ services. If you can, do the love story and play it at your reception, I am still getiing calls about how unique and cool everyone thought it was. Our poor camera guys I know had to have been so hot, but I never remember seeing them once things got started! They worked with my photographer and DJ and I just can't wait to see the video!!! This review just doesn't do these guys justice!!

Having Richard and his team as my DJ and lighting, was the BEST decision. During the planning process, I was very particular with my vendors. Customer service was #1 and he gets a 10+. My expectations were exceeded, which is pretty hard to do :). I did not think it would be that important to sit down with him beforehand to discuss the flow of the event and he let me know this is required and our meeting went fantastic. He sat down with my mom and I and went over so many different songs, made great suggestions, came up with games to play to keep the guests involved...etc. My husband I thought that our wedding would actually be quiet and very relaxed; Richard changed the entire atmosphere and mood of the wedding. The guests had a ball with the games he suggested. I thought I did not want games at the wedding and it was highlight of the evening. Regarding the lighting, the way he positioned the lights and spot lighting to hit the arrangements were perfect. Should I have any events in the future, I will high AVS Day. Everything was perfect and you can tell that he loves what he does. He does not treat you like a business, but he will take time to figure what you want and make it that much better. Richard, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is what you were born to do!! Sincerely, A very happy bride! :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about A Very Special Day! They provided lighting and DJ services for my January 8 wedding, and they were perfect. They made it easy for me to coordinate everything by phone since I live out of town and did not get into town until the Thursday before the wedding. Aaron met me at my hotel and could not have been more professional and accommodating -- including finding song requests that were a bit out of the ordinary (e.g., a pep band version of Can't Turn You Loose and the Final Four One Final Moment Song). At the reception, Aaron made everything run smoothly and played great music (which several people said was the best selection they had heard at a wedding). Aaron went above and beyond -- when our wedding party was delayed getting to the reception venue, Aaron delayed the food service and brought coffee to the bride and groom while we waited outside for our entrance. He also was the MVP who found the flower petals for people to throw when we didn't know where they were. Aaron indulged our terrible karaoke and happily played music when the couple and the last stragglers returned after a quick lap around the parking lot for more singing and dancing. A very special day made our reception worry-free and perfect for guests of all ages.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Aaron for our wedding at PK Lake. He was absolutely fantastic! He was great about working with us on options for our outdoor setting and offered lots of great suggestions for everything from venue setup for best sound, song suggestions, reception ideas and logistics for our get-away. We both felt very confident that Aaron had a good understanding of how we envisioned our perfect night. Unfortunately, we had an unexpected emergency the day of our wedding and Aaron did a great job of taking over and keeping the party going. I have received so many compliments from guests on the music and atmosphere that he provided. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone I know looking for a great DJ that can also think on his feet. Thanks again, Aaron, for everything you did; we would not have been able to have such a great time(in spite of everything) without you.

I want to start of by saying that my wife and I planned this wedding and had no clue what we were doing half the time. We came across A Very Special Day's booth at one of the wedding shows and really liked what they had to offer. They didn't email me a thousand times or call every five mins. They were very professional. They asked what my budget was and what services I needed. They then were able to set up a DJ that could do what I wanted at the cost I wanted. I was luck enough to get Aaron as our DJ. At the first visit he got a feel for what type of music we wanted, the style of wedding we wanted and catered everything to reflect that. What I didn't bargin for was how much help he was besides being our DJ. He was able to give advice on thing we could do during the reception, ideas for songs we could play, on toasts from the groom, I could go one forever. Two weeks before the wedding he set up a final consultation. We still had a few holes in our music selections and Aaron gave great advice and let us listen to songs that he thought would be a good fit. Of course they were great fits. The music was great. He really kept all the guests dancing and having a good time. He was able to get everyone from teenagers to grandparents on the floor to dance. I would highly recommend A Very Special Day and Aaron to anyone. On top of doing our DJ service AVSD also provided uplights. When we first contracted for the DJ they gave us a voucher for some money to be used towards lighting. The voucher, plus some money of our own provided great uplights, spot lights and a Monogram initial for the wall. AVSD can do it all

Our DJ was Richard McClure and I could not have been more delightfully suprised with his services! As soon as you book your wedding, he should be the very next call! From our brief meeting, he got a good sense of who we were and was extremely adept in translating that into entertaining our guests. He masterfully kept the energy going among my sedate bunch of wedding guests. My husband is a fairly shy person and Richard created an environment where he was able to enjoy the night more than I thought was possible. He truly went well above and beyond all my expectations.

My wedding planner recommended Richard for DJ services with no hesitation, and when we first met him we knew he was our man. Since we were planning our wedding from out of town, he was very flexible to accommodate our schedule, going even above and beyond to do a video session with us when we simply could not meet with him in person. He made our reception so much fun by playing exactly what we requested, and he knew exactly how to emcee and just go with the flow. He also made our reception very special by playing songs that were unique to our culture that was so unexpected. We also decided have AVSD do our lighting, and that gave our wedding the extra 'icing' on the cake. It made our reception look exceptionally beautiful in photos!

A Very Special Day made my wedding day a very special day indeed. He was very prompt in response every time we had a question. Everyone of my guests commented on how great the dj was and were very impressed with how he controlled the flow of the evening. Will definetly hire again or recommend to anyone who nis needing someone to make their day A Very Special Day.

I used the videography and DJ for my wedding. The DJ was Aaron Lehman. He was great and easy to work with. He was always willing to meet up anytime and make changes. He was very helpful on the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Aaron.I didn't have a lot of communications with the videographer, Ryan Brown, until a couple of weeks before the wedding. After talking to Ryan, I felt he knew what he was doing so I left it up to him. He was also easy to work with. However, I can't comment on the video since I haven't received them but I'm sure it will be good.I also used lightings through AVS. Everything looked great. The only thing I was disappointed was the initial monogram gobo light. It was too small on the dance floor. Other than that, everything looked the way I pictured it. Thanks.

Words can not convey how extremely pleased we were with our lighting!!! It was as important to the decor as the carefully planned flower arrangements,tableclothes,cake, and china. We were not confident with our ability to define our lighting needs for the wedding. There is so much that can be done and we have limited experience with lighting technology. Richard McClure with AVSD Productions came up with the perfect plan to create the ideal mood and feeling our daughter dreamed of having on her special day. It was magical!!! It tranformed the entire room into an incredible atmosphere way beyond our expectations!!!!Of all the $$$ spent on wedding, funds for lighting was well spent! ASVD PRODUCTIONS will always have our business not only because they are pros when it comes to detail but they resoled all the breakdowns that can happen when your planning and something goes wrong. Richard McClure's talents and skills were much appreciated. We discovered at the last minute someone else forgot an important part of the reception and Richard was able to fix the problem. I think 5 rating is not high enough for the service and quality we received. We have fond memories, no regrets, and enjoyed every minute of our daughter's wedding! The key to a perfect wedding is to hire good,reliable, professional people. AVSD Productions www.avsdpro.com did amazing work for us. We will be forever thankful we chose them for our lighting needs.

Richard was a great DJ to work with. He was the first vendor I hired and did not look for any other DJ's. We also added the lighting from this same company and we were sooooo pleased! My husband and I totally recommend Richard of a Very Special Day to everyone! If you want your reception program smooth, hire them. I did not have to worry about what was coming next during the reception, Richard took care of keeping track of time and making sure we got to the cake cutting, games, dances, etc. He is just awesome!!! The lighting was a hit and everyone loved it as well.

Aaron showed up and took such good care of us it was amazing! We really didn't know how to convey the way we wanted it to look and the experience we wanted to have. He asked great questions and basically became the master of "reception ceremonies" It was such a great evening and I can definitely say he played a huge role in making it happen. Thank You Aaron for a great memory!

We used Richard and he was always there when we needed him. He acted like a planner and an advocate for us when necessary and listened to what we wanted.
