Proofread my b*tchy email to my DJ

GracefulMeadow86 · August 2010

So our DJ for the wedding was horrible...like HORRIBLY horrible. THAT bad.

I've been waiting for the anger to settle before i wrote him an email...and i think its about time. I'm still very angry but a few weeks has made me be able to write something without swearing up and down. So please let me know if i can improve this, or if it is good. Then im going to post my review of him EVERYWHERE i can find.

I have been planning this email for quite some time since the wedding. I wanted to express my disappointment in your services for our wedding on July 24, 2010. You came highly recommended from a well-known Polish DJ in the area, so I trusted that your services would be sufficient. They left much to be desired.

Our phone calls and emails prior to the wedding gave me confidence that you would do a wonderful job and do what we had agreed upon. However, the day of, I was extremely disappointed in not only your services, but your attitude. You told us ahead of time that if we had any problems, to send our Matron of Honor or Best Man over to tell you so we would not have to worry about things during our day. We had both of them tell you to turn the music down and my husband and I also told you, but you would turn it down for one song and then crank it back up. You did not listen and that made me angry. You even had the nerve to tell our Best Man that you knew how to do your job and to go away. NOT OKAY.

We had agreed that you would play half English and half Polish music the whole night because we wanted to pay homage to both of our cultures, though you played less than 10 Polish songs all night ? yes, we were paying attention. We kept telling you, through our wedding party and ourselves to do your job and play the music we had agreed upon, we even told you flat out to play more Polish music, but nothing went came of it. When we had the best man tell you it was time for cake, you would not play the song or announce it .We had to tell you 3 other times it was time for the cake before you agreed to announce it and play the music.

Our experience with you was the worst part of our wedding. I cannot believe a professional would be so rude and snotty to the people paying him. You even tried to blame your issues on the venue/catering people. You told us that they weren?t telling you what times things we happening and that?s why it wasn?t going right. Except that WE were telling you what times and you were not even listening to us, the bride and groom. If I had the ability to take back the money we paid you (which was not cheap by any stretch), I would do it in a heartbeat. Yes, you played the American music that we had provided to you in the list, which is the only reason why the guests had fun and did not notice the other issues, but you were rude and inconsiderate, and we unfortunately had already paid you for a service that you did not fully provide.

Sounds pretty good to me! You were able to express quite clearly in the letter that you are not happy but without being to disrespectful (like with the swearing and stuff) which makes letters like this seem less serious.

I did catch one minor typo: "You even tried to blame your issues on the venue/catering people. You told us that they weren?t telling you what times things were happening and that?s why it wasn?t going right."

Nice email Kim! Only 2 minor things I noticed. I bolded the areas for you.

Remove 'went'

'we' should be 'were'

The other girls found the typos I was going to mention and I agree - it sounds really good. Gets your point across in a clear and honest way, without being too emotional.

PS - I think this is absolute BS that you had to deal with this nonsense from a so-called professional and am sorry that this happened on your wedding day!

thanks ladies

i cant wait to post all over creation that hes a huge A-hole

The other girls found the two typos that I found - excellent e-mail. We had a horrible experience with our limo company (beyond awful...words can hardly explain), and my mom sent an e-mail and REALLY laid into them. Unfortunately, the company has been pretty much unresponsive, and never even offered up an apology. I really hope that you get a better response to your e-mail!! Good luck :-)

Just wanted to add, sending this email is definitely the best route to go. If the DJ was maybe just having an off day and really does care about his business it is 1. good for him to receive this feedback so he can be more conscious of his attitude in the future and 2. might possibly compensate you for what you went through. I know getting a refund will not change the memory of the bad experience but hey, can't complain about getting your money back!

You should probably send it via snail mail as well. And also let the DJs who recommended him know!

i agree with everything everyone has been saying. this is a very well-written letter, and kudos for you for waiting and writing it when you were more calm so it sounds more serious. i dont blame you for swearing inside your head as you write it, but yeah, he would take you less seriously, so good for you for waiting

and holy crap am i sorry you had THIS DOUCHEBAG to deal with on your wedding day!!!

dmorris5 · August 2010

Let us know his reply!! If he wasn't having an off day, and is just normally an a$$, I can see him getting defensive and writing a nasty email back. Which is GREAT for you, because then you have proof that he really is that bad, and can show that in any reviews you give.

I hated my DJ too. HATED.
