Weddingbee boards

Hi all,

I was recently married this summer in Chicago and had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a terrible band leader.  I am extremely particular when it comes to music, and had hand picked each of the 150 songs to be played.  I spent hours and hours working on the playlist and speaking with Glen.    Things did not go according to plan...

1)  Glen Traeger (the band leader) was a no show.  His excuse was he was sick.   I certainly would have expected someone to reach out to me or my family to let us know he wasn't coming.  Instead, we were informed by the "substitute MC" upon arriving at the wedding reception.

2) Introductions were a mess.  The wedding party was introduced out of order, with delays, and with much confusion.
 

3)  The band was contracted to play jazz standards during dinner with a vocalist.  Instead, the DJ played Frank Sinatra.  Glen told me they were taking a break- a half hour into the evening?  During dinner?  When a vocalist was hired for an hour to sing?  Unacceptable.

4) Songs were played from my "do not play" list.  
 

5)  When I spoke with Glen on Sunday, he was unprofessional and insincere.  He spoke over me and claimed he knew what had happened, when in fact, he wasn't even there.  Our discussion went in circles and he attempted to twist my words.  He was rude, condescending and had no interest in patching things up.

I would another bride to have to deal with with this character on their wedding day and would never recommend their services.

Thanks for reading.
