5 stars - Seven are Highly Recommended

“My now husband was very close to hiring a wedding DJ, who would have played the usual set of cliched songs over his set of speakers. So glad I persuaded him not to! Seven were the best thing that could’ve happened and turned our special day into an unforgettable one.”
