I thought Effren did a great job. The lighting was perfect. At times most everyone attending the wedding was dancing, but there were moments when the older generations were sitting because I don't think they liked the music. Not sure why,it was fun and upbeat but maybe a few older songs would have been good as well to keep everyone on the dance floor. Overall great performance. |

Effren was such a great DJ for our event. He kept us all
dancing, the bride especially!! He played all the music we
requested, and went above and beyond to please the small amount of
guests we had. Although we don't live in San Diego, if anyone ever
asks, we would be more than happy to suggest Effren as a DJ to use!!

Effren did a great job blending music to make a perfect
atmosphere for our wedding day! We couldn't have been any happier
with his performance and he kept the dance floor full :) |

Effren did a fantastic job! We enjoyed having him partake in
our big day. He was very professional, easy to communicate with and
did a great job following our timeline. He was there for us. Effren
was very flexible and accommodating with any last minute things we
asked him to announce, etc. We would be more than happy to recommend
Effren and TAP Productions to anyone looking for DJ services. We
couldn't be happier! |

Effren was fantastic! Everyone is still talking about the music
at the wedding. From start to finish it was the hands down the best
music played at a wedding. When the reception got later, Effren
turned the event into the dance party we requested by mixing in all
of our favorite club jams. He also didn't play a song on my DO NOT
PLAY list even though the MoG requested it :-).We will definitely be
coming back to Effren and TAP, especially for our future anniversary
parties! |

Effren was AMAZING!! We were so happy with his DJ'ing - the
ceremony went off without a hitch, and he kept the dance floor going
during the reception for the ENTIRE time! We wanted someone who
would not be on the microphone the entire time, and really focus on
making sure our guests were ready to enjoy themselves and party, and
he did just that... we had multiple guests come up to us and say
"wow, you're DJ is one of the best I've ever heard!" It was fun to
look over and see Effren smiling during the major dance-sets... you
could tell he was enjoying himself too :) Thanks for making our
wedding such a great party!! ...And... Matt did a great job with the
draping too. It created the perfect backdrop to our venue, and
looked exactly as we envisioned it from the beginning. Thank you! |

DJ Effren was AMAZING! We could not be happier with his
services. We have gotten numerous guests who attended our wedding
tell us how amazing our DJ was and asked if he worked with
celebrities bc he was so good. People were on the dance floor all
night and even though it was hot in the room, he kept people dancing
all night! One thing that was so important to Travis and I was the
music being played at our wedding and we could not be more pleased.
He even let one of my 11 bridesmaids get on the podium and mix some
beats. The pics are awesome. Thank you so much and I will highly
recommend you to any of my friends who are getting married or
throwing a large party in the future. |

Effren was absolutely WONDERFUL! Everyone, including us, had
a fantastic time! Truly thrilled with everything he did! |

Effren did a fantastic job at our event. He played great
music and we had an awesome dance party. The only thing that wasn't
perfect was our first dance song. We asked for an Adele version of a
Bob Dylan song "Make you feel my love" and he played the original
Bob Dylan song. |

Effren was awesome - he always had a smile on his face and
looked like he was enjoying himself, which truly enabled everyone
else to have fun as well! A+ on the attitude and overall flow of the
evening |

Effren was awesome!! He played a perfect mix of music that
had EVERYONE on the dance floor - even older relatives who never
dance at weddings. We also received so many compliments from guests
of many different ages and with many different music preferences.
Many guests said they had never been to a wedding with such a great
DJ, and we wholeheartedly agree. We highly recommend Effren. He
really knows how to read a crowd and get everyone up and dancing
when appropriate, he kept our event flowing at a perfect pace, and
he was not at all cheesy. |

Effren was amazing, we can not put into words how good of a
job that he did at our wedding. If you want to keep the dance floor
packed all night and your guests to have the best night of their
lives, hire Effren. His ability to mix and choose the right music
made our event the best ever. |

| 10/15/11 | Chris & Kelley Hall | Wedding | 5.00 |

Effren was awesome. He got everyone on the dance floor and
made announcements when needed. His mix of music was great and all
our guests said the music was excellent. |

| 09/18/11 | Bradford & Chandler Bonney | Wedding | 5.00 |
|
Effren was great! We had a number of people come up to us
during the event to tell us how wonderful the music was. From the
moment people started dancing, the floor was packed until the lights
turned on at the end of the evening. Thanks! |

Tim, Effren did an absolutely GREAT job. It was more than
just his performance at the ceremony, the whole process leading up
to the event was personable and stress-free. In the days leading up
to the wedding, a lot, as I'm sure you have heard before, starts
falling apart and getting chaotic from dealing with multiple
vendors. We did NOT have this problem with Effren. He was constantly
reassuring and his professionalism and ability put us at ease
throughout the whole planning process. Your company, largely in part
to Effren, was represented well and was the only vendor in which we
had absolutely NO PROBLEMS. Thank you for everything!!!! |

Effren was amazing!!! I would use him again if we ever have
another event! |

We LOVED Effren! He was on top of everything. The lighting and sound was perfect and the music for everything flowed and was precisely what we had picked out. Even though he had it all under control he would still check in with us and make sure everything was okay ( which it was ) but knowing that he was conscious of us and our guests was great! Nick was going on and on about how amazing the music and dancing was days into our Honeymoon, as well as phone calls and emails from our guests. Again we LOVED you guys and would highly recommend you to anyone and everyone! BIG THANK YOU TO EFFREN! |

Effren was absolutely amazing! We were so happy with
everything, from the way he dressed, his calm demeanor, and his on
point music selections were exactly what we wanted. Although we gave
him very little guidance except for the ceremony and father/daughter
and first dance song, he was able to keep the guests dancing
throughout the reception and played all of my favorite music, while
playing the selections that made Christian happy. I am so happy we
went with the purple gelled sconces as well; that truly made a
difference. At first I was nervous that the purple gelled sconces
would add an overpowering purple light, and be a bit cheesy, but it
wasn't at all. It turned out to be a subtle purple light, which
added a soft feeling to the ambiance; we loved it. All in all, we
were so happy with the wedding and Effren really made a difference.
He kept the crowd moving and everyone happy. After the wedding we
heard many comments about how everyone loved the music and the
entire wedding as a whole. We were beyond pleased; Effren deserves a
raise :) |

Effren was amazing! He really knew how to read the audience! I was worried at first that no one would hit the dance floor...but once Effren got started, everyone was out there! The flow and transition of the music was perfect...kept the audience pumped and wanting more! We had such a good time...hence requesting the extra hour. Everyone is still asking where we found the DJ! And thank you Tim for the phone consultations and helping us to organize our music selections. Made it much easier for us! We have quite the eclectic taste! Thank you again! |

Effren was amazing... our dance floor was packed, the energy was
high, and people were enjoying themselves right up to the very last
song. The event was so much fun we even had wedding crashers show up
at one point (quickly escorted out as well). Thanks for everything,
you made our wedding reception memorable and amazing.

TAP did an exceptional job at our wedding reception! We were able
to achieve the vibe we were looking for. We LOVED the mash-ups and
the song selections. I was so concerned that we would not pick the
right songs, but with the planning sessions we felt confident about
it all by the day of the wedding. Above all TAP is a very down to
earth, professional, friendly company to work with. THANK YOU! THANK
YOU! THANK YOU!

Please thank Effren immensely from me and my husband, Rob.
EVERYONE complimented the music and Jaclyn (my day-of coordinator)
said he was wonderful to work with. All my friends and family said
they had a great time and it was one of the most fun weddings they
had ever attended. I attribute most of this positive feedback to
Effren's talents. It was a perfect night. Thank you!

Both Effren and Don did first-rate jobs and received numerous compliments from guests throughout the night. We couldn't have been more pleased. |

Effren was amazing!!! We got so many complements that he was the best DJ they've ever heard and he really helped to keep the dance floor packed the entire night! We can't thank you enough and will highly recommend your services to everyone we know. (and from the groom...) I second that. Effren was top notch. I would refer him to a friend in a heartbeat. I have never been part of a wedding where people so emphatically enjoyed the music/dance floor experience. I am still getting calls/emails from wedding guests about how great they thought our DJ was. I tip my hat to you and Effren. |

| Tim, if the ratings allowed for a 10, you definitely would have my vote. Your role during the ceremony, reception, and all of your recommendations were wonderful. As the mother of the bride, I was so relieved not to have a concern about anything under your purview. You were very thorough in your planning and had us address details we hadn't even thought of - which made the evening even more enjoyable. Definitely a polished production. I'm so grateful we found you through a referral who used you at their wedding. My thanks. Liz Brilliant |

I couldn't ask for anything more from Adam and Effren. There were no issues at the ceremony. As Adam had indicated, the ceremony went smoothly. Volume for the music and the mics were perfect. As for the reception, Effren was awesome. The beginning of the cocktail reception was slow as expected. The majority of the guests was there around 5:45. After some drinks and food, the crowd started picking up around 7:15-7:7:30. Effren, like the good dj that he is took the cue from the crowd and gradually picked up the pace of the music. Soon enough you couldn't get anyone off of the dance floor. We had originally planned for the Mother/Son Dance and Father/Daughter dance at 8pm. I evaluated the vibe of the crowd and I knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to stop the vibe then. I turned to Effren and told him to put off the dances until 9pm and combine them with the cake cutting, which worked out really well. Judging from the response from the crowd, they really enjoyed Effren's music selections. Everybody had a good time! I appreciated how he handled the song requests and how he played the requested songs as much as he could without veering off from the type of music Jim and Elaine had selected. On top of that I really appreciated how he handled the drunk aunt and uncle who kept on insisting on playing some old Barbara Streisand song. Effren was very professional and I enjoyed working with him.
As a whole, it was a pleasure working with your production group. |

Effren was awesome! We had tons of compliments throughout the
reception and in the weeks following about how great the song selection
was, how great the dancing environment was, etc. We couldn't have asked
for a better night. It was exactly what we were hoping for....started
off with a great cocktail hour with some classics, and worked its way
into a night of non-stop dancing!! Thanks Effren!!

Effren was amazing! The dance floor was never empty and everyone
seemed to be having a ridiculous time dancing. I would have liked to
have a few more slow songs - although I know those tend to clear the
dance floor, but it would be have been nice. All in all though it was
amazing and we truly appreciate Effren's work.

| Effren was perfect! He did such a great job, he was the perfect DJ to have at our wedding! Our wedding turned out EXACTLY like we were picturing and Effren had a large part in that. He kept the party going and moving and it was wonderful! I think he deserves a raise! :) I don't have any contacts at this time who are getting married, but I PROMISE that as soon as my next friend gets engaged, I will absolutely refer them to you guys for DJ services! | ||||

Effren did an amazing job of keeping the party going. There were guests
on the dance floor and tons of energy at the wedding the entire time
designating for dancing. I would love to see Effren DJ for another event
with us!

| We couldn't have been happier with Effren's performance. He has a great personality and is a pleasure to work with. He reads the crowd very well and played the perfect blend of music for the diverse audience that was at our wedding. We will be sure to recommend your services to any of our friends that get engaged in the future. Thank you very much! | ||||

| At school, Daniel's party has been referred to as, "The Party of the Year!" Much of the credit goes to Effren and Daniel for playing and selecting the music that the kids like to dance to these days. We would use Effren again in a heartbeat. He was courteous, professional, engaging, and well-liked by the children. I am positive that you will receive future opportunities from this event. Tim, thank you for your professionalism and the organized manner in which you conduct your business. | ||||

Our whole experience with Tim Altbaum Productions was fantastic. We
received excellent communication up front from Tim Altbaum who worked
with us on lighting and other special set up needs. Tim also listened
and understood both the theme and character we were trying to achieve
for our event and came through with great suggestions and
follow-through. He provided song lists but also allowed us to supplement
and add anything that wasn't already included. We also had the
opportunity to talk with DJ Effren prior to our event to ensure that the
communication and understanding carried through to the person who would
be at the event. Effren exceeded our expectations in a number of ways
and kept the party going all night with never a moment of downtime. Not
only was he an excellent DJ and Emcee for our event, but he was my
"right hand man" in accomplishing those items we had put on our agenda
and working to keep things flowing in a seamless manner. The equipment
and the sound quality were all high end in both appearance and
performance. It is without hesitation that I recommend this firm and DJ
Effren. The success of the event really depends on who is in the seat
behind the microphone, making music selections and working with the
client but also keeping track of the audience and sensing what is needed
and when. This group does an amazing job! They are highly professional
but also enthusiastic and fun! I can't imagine an event they couldn't
manage well!

Effren was great. The party was fabulous and I think it’s the music that really makes the party. Toddlers to grown-ups were all dancing. When you talk to Effren, he can tell you everyone was having a great time. |
