Largest regret was getting them for a wedding
1
Being a Sikh wedding, their are numerous traditions and customs a wedding party would like to follow - which of course, includes the type of music being played at the reception. I was upfront about this prior to signing him for the event, since we wanted to maintain traditional elements to their wedding. For the majority of the night, the music was decent and the crowd was enjoying themselves. The music skewed a bit to the modern and American side, so some wedding guests started to request more traditional Indian music. Music Mantra was unable to meet these requests, and as more and more guests kept asking, they became irrational and irate. The situation escalated and slurs, profanity, and even punches were thrown. The guests, bride, and wedding planner were all attacked. It caused a state of confusion in the reception hall, which drew further attention to the incident. He refused to finish his job outlined in the contract, and closed up and packed 30 minutes before the end of the party. What was left was a crying bride, a room full of attacked wedding guests, and a reception venue full of turmoil. Not to discredit Music Mantra as a DJ - they certainly seem to know how to press play and get a crowd moving, however, they will not cater to the needs of their paying customer, and in this case, ruining such an important event as their wedding. They should have been honest and upfront that they do not know Indian music. At least we would have had the opportunity to find the right DJ that would have truly made their wedding party special.
