Mancini Emcee And Sound Production

Greg Mancini and his wife did a wonderful job at our July wedding at the White Horse Inn. He made the process of preparing the program as easy and straightforward as possible. I could not recommend his services highly enough. Thank you so much for all your good work, Greg.

It has taken me an entire year to be able to think about writting a review for Greg Mancini & wife. Its taken so long because any time I would think about it I'd get livid & was only be able 2 see the negative aspects. It's been long enough now that we can try to laugh at all the f*%# up's Debbie was resonsible for. Although it still hurts my heart a bit how much she completely ruined what I'd enevisioned and planned for the ceremony. I'll start with the good. Greg is awesome. He is very organized& even though we only spent 2 hours together total in person he was the utmost professional via email & phone calls & he helped me plan out an awesomely entertaining day for both my hubbs & i & our guests. He worked on every detail, spelling, song suggestiosn,how to pronounce everyone's names perfectly. Our day (on paper) started like this..DJ arrive to ceremony location 1 hour before event & set upAudrey (bride) is peacefully finishing make up& taking picturesFun pop, r&b, oldies & rock love songs start pre-ceremonyA dear friend plays guitar along to dixie chicks 'lullaby' as Audrey walks down the isle (que the tears - amazingly beautiful lyrics). Ceremony takes place-Now pronouce you man and wife - Audrey and Miguel kiss - que beattles "All you need is Love" and everyone clasps whistles etc.B& G take pics as DJ then sets up for the party! Each wedding attendent's announced w/ a special welcome and song chosen by the couple for them to dance to - gives it some personality. All other wedding songs are customzied as well. The father daughter, mother son and bride groom dances - ALL special music custom done by Greg. So let me tell what you really happend. 15 min before the ceremony my (amazing) wedding location planner calmly asks if I'd heard from the Mancini's. No, but i didnt' have my phone on me i reply carelessly. Then it dawns on me - WTH, you mean they're not here?! So the phone calls, texts, email and EVEN IM chats start go to crazy trying to get in touch with either of them. No calls or texts or anything are returned. The time is ticking. My beautifuled planned out thoughtful, funny, exciting day the music was about to take us on was dissolving and there was nothing I could do about it. I had a boy outside w/ an electric guitar and no amp (the DJ was bringing it). NO music to play. NO cd's. NO speakers. NOTHING to make sound! Then my mind wandered and i thought about all the dances. All the hours of practice and editing. and I lost it. It was 2 minutes to 5 (go time) and we had no DJ and no word. they'd come with the highest of recommendations from multiple sources so we were convinced they'd had deadly accident of some sort. Finally the wedding gal found an old CD player (they require the families hire outside DJ's because they don't have sound systems etc - it's not their job the DJ's do it). Next up, a CD? Anyone have a CD in their car we can walk to or something? Guess what we walked down the isle to... Queen? Anyone guess Queen? If so, you're right. We walked down the isle to 'We Are the Champions' by Queen. Now hilarious - but at the time I was furious. NOt to mention all of my pre-wedding photos are crap because i was so busy calling, texting,emailing trying to find out when/if they were ever going to show up between my tears and trying to fix my makeup there was no time to get a good beautiful pre-wedding glow shot. UGH. So our guests and wedding party had a little laugh and shock when they heard the music playing. Most of the guest's couldn't hear our minister saying his so so touching talk (it was my god father, so very sentimental) nor could they hear my husband and I's vows we'd written to eachother nor could they hear our mother's talk during the sand ceremony because there was no microphone. So we end the ceremony go out to take pictures and I am holding back a panic attack because I'm so pissed at what this party is going to turn into with NO dancing!? Our friends are making phone calls trying to line up a DJ or get equipment or make runs to friends houses to just borrow a really big sound system. But this is a wedding of 300 people, a simple CD player won't do for a crowd that size on an outdoor ranch venue. Livid. The pictures continue and I'm strained and irritated through most of them. All of the sudden a van comes down the dirt road (we're on a ranch remember) 100 miles an hour. Hum..this better be them. Thank goodness it is and they start setting up at record speed. The woman has the nerve to come up to me with a hug. Apologized she was late. Hum, you just ruined my wedding ceremony, I'm thinking as i grin through it and tell her to hurry up and just do her thing. The rest of the nite went according to plan for the most part except she pronouned my name as "AuBrey" (not Audrey) most of the night. Never said Miguel's name right. Butchered both of our families names, rushed us through the cake, bouquet toss, dances everything so she could hurry up

Greg and Debbi Mancini were my Emcee and DJ and for my wedding at the white horse. He has the perfect personality, voice, and charisma to wow your crowd! He might not be the youngest guy in the trade but he definitely knows todays music, cultural and what today's bride wants. He had great suggestions when I didn't know quite what to do and when i knew what exact part of a song i wanted he did that or edited song to get it exactly right timing to time it takes to walk down the aisle. He is supper easy to get a hold of (I had both our cells and emails, they always answred my calls and emails very quickly and I went by there house) and is the liaison between the bride and the groom and their wedding ensemble. He is very eloquent and works to get every detail right. As shown in his paperwork by the phonetic pronouncement of names ie the name Caile written as spoken Kay-lee. Trust your wedding to him!

My wife and I changed our originally planned day for our wedding, so that we could get Greg & Debbie Mancini. I had attended previous events/weddings, where they had emcee'd, and they all were so impressive. We are so glad that we were able to get them. We met with Greg a couple of times, and had numerous phone & text conversations in planning our big day. Greg is always so professional, positive, and friendly, with great advice from experience. Once our big day arrived, Greg and Debbie ran things so smoothly, and entertaining. Greg kept things moving smoothly, while also being patient as different portions of our reception proceeded. When the dance started, Greg led the party line that picked up over 100 out of our 150 guests, leading the train onto the dance floor. Greg and Debbie kept favorite music playing that kept us and our guests dancing until the night was over. So many positive comments from our guests about how well Greg and Debbie did. My wife and I still talk about how great our wedding turned out! Thank you Greg and Debbie for making it great!

Debbie and Greg were so helpful in helping us plan our wedding They even came out in the rain the night before. Everyone complimented on how professional they were. The best they have heard and seen! I still think about the wonderful night they provided and how special they made it for us. I only recommend Mancini
