Jen Hamill, Mansion on Forsyth Park, Savannah - Melissa and Kevin’s Wedding - March 27,2010
Joel was amazing, everyone had a blast and the way he does the bouqet and garter toss was awesome!!! I’ve never seen the girl put the garter on the guy, it was hilarious!!!!!!! We loved it!!!!!!
Amy and Josh - March 20, 2010 - Flint Hill
Best DJ in the ATL! I booked Joel for my wedding, and he did a fantastic job!! Everyone is still talking about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Music can either make or break your reception - and Joel made it the best night of my life! He was also very helpful when it came to planning out my event and making sure everything moved flawlessly through out the night. I couldn't have asked for more! Heather-loves-Brad
We saw Joel and he ROCKS! FLying him out... Joel rocks! From the moment the reception started he had the guests excited and ready for a good time. He took the time to get to know the Bride and Groom and added a personal touch I have never seen from a DJ and as the Maid of Honor at the wedding I know the bride and groom couldn't have been happier! Joel nailed the type of music the bride and groom loved and managed to keep the dance floor full of young and old the entire night without resorting to the "chicken dance" or "the electric slide". All of this and he did it without being chatty or cheesy. I'm getting married soon and the only thing I'd say Joel could do better is move to CA and DJ my wedding!! I tried to fly him out…but he was already booked - I was that impressed! I hope Mark and I can find a DJ as fun as him! sunny_in_CA
Absolutely the Best! We hired Joel Rabe of Lethal Rhythms to perform (MC/DJ) for our Atlanta wedding at the Biltmore He promised us that our guests would be coming away from the event talking about how special the night was and that we would have the best night of our lives. AMAZINGLY, Joel surpassed even our high expectations we knew it was going to be amazing, but we were absolutely THRILLED with the excitement from our friends about where did we find the entertianer, and "he's not a typical DJ" Absolutely the Best. You have to add him to your list of possible DJs meet the others first, then see why he has pages and pages of satisfied testimonials on his website We are going to use him for our 1 year anniversary party! Lisa E7
Hi Joel, We are choosing Chris and Lethal Rhythms because you are promising us a wedding experience that will be professional, sophisticated, and designed to our style. We want something romantic, organic, and simple and the music should reflect that. We also feel that our specific music requests will be honored and incorporated into the event well. Thanks! Val. Valeria and Chris - Brasstown Valley - October 10, 2010
Hi Kristy, Thank you so much and it was a pleasure speaking with you! Since I had not spoken to you before hiring you I was a little concerned, but after talking with you I have no doubt that you will be amazing! A lot of weight lifted for me knowing there will be another person there helping to carry the weight of the success of the event so thank you in advance. Mandy Hancock - The Hill in Athens - April 10, 2010
Joel was great! We would definitely use Lethal Rhythms again. Erin Pritchard - Barnsley Gardens - March 13, 2010
Joel did a fabulous job! I really didn't see him make any mistakes. He was great to work with and made the event run smoothly. I think the bride and groom would agree.
Thanks again for a wonderful job and will be in touch or brides for future events.
Jennifer Beecham - Montaluce Winery & Estates - Wedding April and Eddie - March 12, 2010
Hi Joel! I just wanted to thank you so very much for everything. Allison's party was a big success and now all her friends want to have a dancing party as well. I thank you for you professionalism and responsibility. In addition to your great work you were of great help to me in watching the kids. I am glad you are having so much work, you deserve it. All the best and be sure that if we decide to have a party in the future you will be our first choice.
Dana Bentata - Allison's Birthday Party - February 26, 2010
Joel!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Â I'm sorry its taken me a while. I've just gotten back from the DR and I'm trying to catch up. We have had so many wonderful comments about you from everyone!!! Â Everyone had a total blast! I do wish I could have had some video of what happened before we arrived. Â What did happen??? Â I can't wait to see the video!!! Â I spoke with Daniel the other day and it seems he's having a blast putting it all together. Â I don't think he left my side the whole weekend. Â Cindy has a picture of you on her website as well...well its in one of her galleries. Â I will send you some pics I have right now and when the video comes in I will try and get you a copy so you can use stuff. I've now been asked even more so to become a wedding planner. Â Ha ha! Â Don't know about all of that!
Anyway, I can't thank you enough!!! It was amazing and you just made it happen!
Please keep in touch with your whereabouts!
Thanks again! Elizabeth and Roy - King & Prince Resort, St. Simons Island - February 13, 2010
Lethal Rhythms went beyond the call of duty - besides providing amazing songs and entertainment and MC for the main hall during the event, Joel was instrumental in creating the timelines, flow of the event. He partnered with the garden and brought all of the giveaway items to the event. Could not have had this successful event without Lethal Rhythms partnership. Would like to secure this partnership for next years Valentines in the Garden!

We had a phenomenal response from our guests regarding the music. Joel created to everyone's tastes and really helped set the tone for our event. I found him to go over and beyond our expectations and have already recommended his services to my network of friends and colleagues. We had a wonderful experience working with Lethal Rhythms from start to finish. I now need an excuse to throw a party now, since I have a great DJ in mind! Thank you all so much.

Lethal Rhythms is AMAZING!!!!! Joel Rabe recently spun at a holiday party for my company and I've never seen my co-workers dance so hard! He had all of the latest hits and if people slowed down on the dance floor, he always made sure to get the party started again. He was so great at taking requests, making sure not to have people beg for a song. I'll make sure to hire Lethal Rhythms for more events!

Hi Spencer,
Thank you so much! You were absolutely wonderful! We have already had several people asking where we found you because of how much fun they had Saturday. Our wedding was amazing and you certainly kept the crowd going, from the ceremony to the end of the night. Thank you for being a part of our special day. We will be sure to let anyone that we know that is getting married about you.

Joel, Thank you for making Pam and Nate's wedding reception such a success. You did a wonderful job guiding the newlyweds through the events while being entertaining and professional. Thank you!

Joel & Fernando!!! You were fantastic!!
Our friends and family are still talking about the wedding!!! The music was awesome and nobody left the dance floor. My feet still hurt from dancing for 4 hours. During the planning process being able to load the songs that we really wanted to hear made it more assuring to know that you and your team were on the same page with us. I wish I could do it again!!! (with Dan, of course!)
Thank you so much for making our wedding reception a memorable event!

Hi Fernando,
I just want you to know how fabulous you were at Courtney and Garrett's reception!! Everyone made a point to say how much they enjoyed the music and how impressed they were that you came around to the tables to see if there were any special requests!! We really appreciate your charm, energy and professionalism in making this such a happy occasion. Thanks, Judy. Judy W. Klein, Mother of the Bride, October 17, 200

Joel - Thank you for the great Party!! We promise to write more when we return from our Honeymoon... We have been to a LOT of weddings à but nothing as great as ours - all of our friends are asking where you came from, how did we find youÉ etc. Thank you, Thank you! Stephen and Shannon Yancey, Brasstown Valley, October 11, 2009
Joel - everyone was asking where i found you.. they can't believe it was on the internet. No wonder you travel so much - you are AWESOME. You made our event so much more then we ever thought possible - thank you! Michael and Amanda Smith, Bullock Springs Manor, October 03, 2009
Hey Joel, wanted to give a really big thanks to Chris on the night of our wedding, he did a fantastic job, one that not only Krisiti and I will remember, but almost two weeks later our friends are still raving about an awesome wedding and a fantastic DJ. I will tell you that the number one thing that caught my attention was the Suit, followed by the professionalism of Chris. It was a pleasure doing business with you guys, thanks for sharing our memories with us, and making those memories even more memorable. If someone I know or myself ever needs a DJ, Lethal Rhythms will always be the first on our list.

Joel, you were simply amazing! Of course, I expected you would be! Thank you, it was perfect! I will definitely write something more...all our friends were saying "you found a GREAT DJ!" ... From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.
Joel was a great DJ for our wedding. Our wedding was just a huge dance party and that's exactly what we wanted. He played perfect music for all the settings: ceremony prelude, cocktail hour, dinner hour, and party time. He took some of our requests, but pretty much played how the crowd was feeling. I would recommend him to other brides out there if you want a wedding that's going to have an upbeat party type vibe. My friends commented on how great the DJ was and the cool beats and music he had. He was a little hard to get ahold of leading up the wedding, but definately without a doubt came through above and beyond was I was expecting on our wedding day and that's all that matters to me:) Thanks again Joel! -Tracy and Rob Kanaczet 9/12/09

I think I've found my DJ! You kept the crowd going with new and old songs which seems to be a problem with most DJs. Everyone danced the whole night - wow. It was great working with you and I look forward to working with you again in the near future. Talk to you soon!

Joel, Thank you for a wonderful event! It was great to see everyone clapping for you at the end of the reception. I really could tell you put a lot of time into studying our particular style of music. It is not easy to please our crowd, but you had people laughing and having fun from the beginning. When the dancing started I knew it was going to be a success. Thank you for making my and Michele's day so special!

Hi Joel, Sorry for the delay! We have been back for 2 days and it has been crazy get caught up with everything at work and we also close on our house next Friday...WOO HOO! The job you did at our wedding was outstanding!! We have received compliments on all aspects of the wedding including the music/entertainment. It was obvious that everyone enjoyed it because the dance floor was packed once everyone ate :) You really added a lot when it came to the bouquet and garter toss! I really appreciated how involved you were on that day. Sometimes you go to weddings and the DJs can be sort of a bore because all they do is stand 'behind' the music and they don't have much of a personality and we DEFINITELY did not have a wedding like that! It was great! If there is somewhere on the site where you want me to share my thoughts please let me know and I would be more than happy to!! Thanks again! Kate Fanning

Joel - Melissa and I just wanted to thank you so very much for the outstanding and fabulous job you did as our DJ on Saturday. Melissa kept stressing the importance of the DJ to me and boy was she right. Many that I have talked to have said that this was the "Wedding of the Year" or "Best Wedding Ever." EVERYBODY has stated that the entire wedding (I'm assuming they mean reception) was run so smooth and that the DJ was fantastic by keeping everybody entertained the entire time and that transitions from one moment to the next just flowed so perfectly. They loved how you interacted with everybody with the table release questions and actually walking around and getting on the floor, among many other noted observations. People weren't looking at their watches. The music was great. It was very entertaining. When asking what the best part was, they weren't pointing to anything specific, but everyone (yes everyone, not most) keeps stating "how organized it was. So I want to thank you and Monica for the excellent job and hard work you have done. We will definitely be referring Lethal Rhythms, specifically you two, to others in the future! Sincerely,
Paul & Melissa Crane

Everything was wonderful! I loved the way everything turned out. Joel was awesome! By the way, he should add Awesome Wedding Director to his resume. He really was there every step of the way, and the way he organized everything was perfect. Very thorough. Thank you for taking all the worry away...and let's not forget about the Party!
Thank you!

Just as a follow up, in case you couldn't already tell, Melissa and I have continually mentioned how this was the perfect wedding and that we could not have dreamed of it being any better. I think every couple goes in with high expectations only to be slightly disappointed, but still happy. This was not the case, we could not have asked it to go any better. I'm sure everybody is partial to their own wedding, but I know we can both state this was the best wedding we have ever been a part of and can't imagine what it would take to be any better. My parents even told me (and to not tell my 3 older and married brothers) that this was by far the best reception of their four boys.
So once again, thanks for all your great work and making our dreams come true with the perfect wedding.
Paul & Melissa – Part II
Joel It was nice meeting you this past weekend. You did a fantastic job at the wedding and got everyone dancing and moving around. It's not that often that I see a lot of Asian people moving like that on the dance floor, so I'm very impressed. :) I will definitely have to put you on my preferred vendors list.

We had a GREAT time with Lethal Rhythms at our wedding. Joel and DJ Fernando really knew how to get our party started and make sure everyone felt welcome on the dance floor. We had kids and grandparents alike out dancing, and really enjoying themselves. It was run unlike any wedding either of us had been to and we loved it. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Thank you so much, we will definitely be calling next time we need a DJ!

Lanny & I had the most amazing time at our wedding. There were three weddings after ours that all of my friends attended and every time I see one of them they say the entertainment didn't even come close to ours! Joel was awesome & so energetic! I loved how he was out & about in the crowd and not just sitting behind his equipment - it made him an integral part of the night. We got so much positive feedback from guests and I think our wedding is something all the guests will remember for a while to come! I would recommend Joel & Lethal Rhythms to anyone looking to have fun at any event. If I ever have another event in the future, I will certainly come back here for the entertainment. Thanks for an awesome night!!

Hi, Joel,
I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your work at Erin and Lanny's wedding on June 13th. We wanted to have a reception that was fun and would get the crowd involved in their special night and you exceeded our expectations. From the first email and phone calls, you were prompt and professional, but most of all fun. You listened to what they wanted and provided lots of wonderful suggestions for making their reception special.  Several of the guests have mentioned to me how much fun it was and my parents are still laughing about the removing of the garter. The anniversary dance was so special especially since the bride's grandparents were the last four dancing. Thank you so much for helping to make all of our ideas a reality and the reception so wonderful!¬â€

Hi Chris,
I am sorry it has taken me so long to write you! Rodney and I returned from our honeymoon last Wednesday. We went to Antigua and had an amazing time! We have been enjoying married life and getting organized :)
I wanted to thank you for doing an outstanding job at our wedding ceremony and reception! The U2 "beautiful day "song that we walked away to was awesome! We were so excited about that! We actually met a couple on our honeymoon that used the same song! And here we thought we were so original :)  
Our wedding was perfect! I am so glad that we chose you to be our DJ! We could not have asked for anything more! Everything went as planned! I have actually had a few friends email me for our song lists :) Also, the bouquet and garter toss was fabulous! It was definitely a surprise for Rodney and he had so much fun! We also got a lot of fun pictures from that moment! 
Thank you again for everything and helping to make the planning so easy and fun!!! I will definitely pass your name along to anyone who is looking for a DJ. I know my mom recommended you to two people who I think actually booked with Lethal Rhythms!

I had Daniel as my dj and he was awesome. He kept the reception going so there was never a dull moment. He met me before hand and answered all my questions with confidence and calmed all of my nerves. They also worked with my budget. I would recommend Lethal Rhythms to anyone, they were great!

Hey Joel! Remember Us? Ashley and Kevin Daly! I am writing you to see if you had
the date open of Saturday, Oct 3rd, 2009. My brother and his fiancée are getting
married the weekend of Sept. 26th down in Destin. But before they sat down and really
figured out a date, we wanted to make sure you were free so they could use you as
their DJ!!! They are choosing a venue now, so if it’s okay, I’ll let you know a
time and place, as soon we figure it out.... You know us, and all of our friends,
it will most likely be a late night.. Depending on what time they decide to start...!
Just let me know if it’s even open, and we can just start from there! If that date
is not available, let me know what dates you have - they are totally planning the
party around YOU!!! Thank you again, for helping us! Talk to you real soon! Ash
Ashley Daly
Wow what an amazing time! We chose Lethal Rhythms because we are very picky about
our music style. It was a destination wedding and everyone had high hopes for a
party. You did not disappoint! Even our DJ friends said you were amazing! If you
ever need a reference, you can count on us! Matthew Cordasco May 02, 2009 Crane

Fernando, It was a perfect wedding and thank you for all of your efforts. I will
certainly be referring you to whom I can and Sarah will do the same. If you didn’t
know already, she is the event planner for Cherokee Town & Country Club so she is
asked for suggestions all the time. Also, a lot of company folks were at the wedding,
including our corporate event planner. Every year, she looks for quality entertainers
for our company events located in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States.
She will certainly be contacting you. Again, thank you for everything!! You did
a wonderful job and we were extremely fortunate to find you. It was a real treat!!

really explain everything. Joel has a great personality and is easy to talk to.
He was very helpful in walking through the entire timetable, so we know what to
expect. Very professional. Brandon and Carla September 19, 2009 The Atrium
I would highly recommend choosing Lethal Rhythms as your DJ. We had DJ Fernando
and he was great. I really like how he got to know us as a couple and our musical
taste. He knew how to feel the crowd out and play the type of music they were into.
He kept the whole even flowing so smoothly. All of the guests I talked to couldn't
stop raving about how much fun they had. They even got our parents out there dancing!
Thank you Lethal Rhythms for such a fun and memorable wedding! Sophia Hong February

Anne Thompson Wedding Catering Manager The King and Prince Resort
Joel & Lexi, I can not begin to thank you enough for the incredible job that you
both did with our wedding. Joel, as we were leaving our first meeting with you,
Rich turned to me and said, "I feel really good about him." What an understatement!
The service that Lethal Rhythms provided us went so far beyond, MC, DJ or event
coordinator. With all of the roles that you played I have to say the value that
we got for our money was amazing! You guys simply "made it happen" from the second
you arrived in Birmingham until the second you left. You were quick to respond and
we always felt like you guys were on top of things and there was nothing for us
to worry about. All of our vendors including the facility manager and caterer commented
on how professional you were and how well you worked with everyone just to make
the night perfect. Your experience and success with what you do made it easy for
me to just trust your suggestions. I can not stress enough, how all of the little
details that you suggested just made the evening flow so perfectly. We have gotten
so many compliments on the flow of the evening and how much fun everyone had. Everyone
loved the fact that we cut the cake before the dancing began! And you were right...you
created an environment that made people want to stay and hang out long after the
cake was cut:) We really can not thank you enough for everything that you did for
us, including bringing us something to eat before we were announced! I don't know
how you guys do it, but it just seemed like the entire night you were right there
just making things happen...and when I say things, I mean things that went far beyond
the scope of the services we expected you to provide. We were lucky enough to find
you online. I promise we will tell everyone we know what a great job you do. Aside
from all of the additional services that you all provided I have to also say that
the music was AMAZING! You know how important this aspect of the reception was for
me and I truly felt like you listened to what we wanted and you orchestrated your
music selections perfectly to suit what we like which you somehow made work for
all of the guests too!! Please feel free to use me as a reference anytime. I feel
like the least I can do is tell other brides or hosts what a great job you did and
how easy you were to work with. We can not thank you enough for your contribution
to our special day. Thank you Thank you Thank you, Kristen and Rich Brotherson Alabama

Good Morning Guys! The Hoang/Wonneberger wedding was a huge success. We could tell
from the energy put into the introductions of the bridal party that it was going
to be a lively party, and we were not disappointed! I enjoyed working with Fernando,
and the guests - and staff - had a great time. Sophia, Tom, and their families were
thrilled. Sophia told me she wanted a packed dance floor all evening, and that’s
exactly what we had here on Saturday. This was my first experience working with
Lethal Rhythms and I really enjoyed interacting with your team and look forward
to working with you on more weddings in the future. Thanks! Leah Stephens 1420 Room

Dear Joel, What can I say? The wedding was AMAZING! I don't know if writing this
note will really be able to describe how much your work leading up to and at the
wedding meant to Jamal and I but I will try ... I think you know based on our calls
and meetings that going into this wedding Jamal and I were pretty nervous about
what we envisioned happening versus what we thought could potentially happen. Coming
from two totally different cultures and traditions, there were lots of things that
we needed to balance to try to keep everyone happy. With that in mind, from the
first time we met you, Jamal and I felt extremely comfortable with you and your
suggestions and recommendations really put us at ease and took so much weight off
of our shoulders. For the actual day of, you completely exceeded our expectations.
We (and 250 of our closest friends and family ;) had such a blast at the wedding,
and weeks later we still have friends and family from both sides (who literally
traveled from all over the world, Australia, Lebanon, England to name a few), tell
us what an amazing job you did! You really kicked off the party and kept it going
all night long! The music was incredible, and the way you mixed, on the spot, the
Arabic music with the traditional American songs was a HUGE hit! Never in our wildest
dreams did we think we'd get some of our family who are just not used to the traditional
American style wedding and music even step close to the dance floor, but they were
the first ones on and the last ones off! I've actually never been to a wedding where
not a single person was seating in their seats but instead were on the dance floor
and you made this happen. And even more than the music, you were able to command
the entire evening while still keeping the focus on Jamal and I all night long!
In fact, Jamal's father, who is definitely not accustomed to these types of weddings
or the American music, said the next day how impressed he was with you. To quote
him he said "He was really great, and his voice had such a presence. When he spoke,
everyone listened!" Again, I'm not sure my words can really capture how great you
made the experience for Jamal and I but I can say from the bottom of our hearts
thank you for helping make our expectations a reality and creating an evening that
from start to finish reflected who Jamal and I really are, what we believe and how
happy we are to be married. Sincerely, your biggest fans, Danielle and Jamal Chehimi

I came across Lethal Rhythms on theknot.com - we decided to go with Joel because
we loved the fact that he really wanted to be involved in the wedding and get to
know us and our guests. He had great ideas that are going to make the night unforgettable
for everyone. We really enjoyed his energy and felt it would be a great match. Mac
and I are really looking forward to this!!!! Karina Hausafus Silver Bell Pavilion

Good morning Lexi, The wedding was a blast and you did a great job. We really enjoyed
the music and danced until we were just about beat! I will recommend your services
to anyone who may need you! Jan Brown Bridesmaid at Kristen and Rich Brotherson’s
Wedding February 28, 2009
You guys did an amazing job. Kristen said how she gave you guys a list of what she
wanted to hear, and you knocked it out. He transitioned seamlessly from one song
to the next, and really knew what he was talking about with the meanings behind
the different parts of the ceremony. I will keep you guys in mind should I ever
need a DJ. Keep in touch. Chris Marino Groomsman at Kristen and Rich Brotherson’s

Hi Lexi! Our event was fantastic and Mike did a fabulous job! He's great to work
with and very accommodating! Music was great and everyone had a great time! The
event was a SUCCESS! Thanks for everything and please pass along my thanks to Joel
as well! Best, Brenda Maynard The Rental Show February 28, 2009
We chose to book Lethal Rhythm because of the reviews that we read. Also, we were
looking at another dj who did not show up to an appointment- the initial one- which
really put us off. We did not feel we could rely on them. Also, Lethal Rhythms,
I believe was on theknot.com and at the Bridal show at the Galleria in January.
We met with Joel and thought he was totally awesome! We appreciate Lexi because
she works very hard to stay in contact and get things done :) We also really like
the dj that we picked. We believe he is reliable, energetic and the type of personality
that we would like to bring to run our show :) We like some the entertainment ideas
that Joel gave us when we met with him and the music database and the instrumental
version of the songs that Joel recommended for during dinner-for example U2-We are
very excited to be working with you guys! Caroline Cushman Whitlock Inn June 7,

As far as why we chose Lethal Rhythms....that was an easy decision. Brian and I
went to a wedding down on Jekyll Island last June, and Joel was the DJ. At the time,
Brian and I both commented on how great he was in leading the reception and how
we'd have to remember him when the time came for us. Anyhow...we got engaged the
day after Thanksgiving and within a month, we were already talking about what kind
of music we wanted at the wedding. I emailed my friend who got married on Jekyll
Island, and as soon as I heard back from him, I was already contacting Joel. Not
gonna lie, he's not cheap, but it was worth it to us to shift our budget around
since we had seen him before, and we knew we liked his style. Unfortunately, Joel
didn't end up being available on our wedding date, but we were so excited to book
Fernando. We haven't physically met him yet, but we trusted Joel from the beginning
and knew he wouldn't steer us wrong. It is so important to Brian and me to not have
some cheesy wedding DJ...basically we want people to remember our wedding as a great
party! We are going with Lethal Rhythms specifically based on how impressed we were
with Joel when we met him in person! Katie Hall and Brian Dowless The River Room

My mom and I chose Lethal Rhythms because we were impressed by Joel. He really knows
what hes doing and seems very helpful, he made me feel like things will run smoothly.
I cannot wait for the big day! Kristen McFarland Frogtown Cellars November 14, 2009
I had been searching for a couple of weeks for the perfect DJ and nothing looked
good to me. It looked either too "cheesy" or just boring! My mom even contacted
some DJs and when I heard what she had to say I just was not impressed. Though they
were less expensive they just had "Boring/lame" written all over them. I was really
looking for that DJ for people to leave our wedding and think wow! Finally I came
across the Lethal Rhythms site from the Knot.com! Even though I was a bit overwhelmed
with the site I like what I saw. I filled out a request form and got a call back
the very next day! And esp after talking to Joel on the phone, I knew this would
be the company we would use. Joel just knew what he was talking about. He even mentioned
things I would have never thought of that are totally important aspects of the wedding.
I loved his ideas and fun ways to always have our guest entertained yet keep us
the focus of the night. After meeting him in person Tony and I were very impressed.
He drew out a map of Flint hill (with out me telling him) and layed out the perfect
plan. He listened to what we wanted and you could tell he really tries to make each
wedding night unique to the bride and groom (which is awesome)!! I felt a huge weight
lifted off my shoulders after meeting with him! And well like they say...the rest
is history and we are soooo excited to have Joel!! Why Joel...that is the easy part!
He just knew what we wanted! Jenny Brown Flint Hill October 23, 2009
What you do is OUTSTANDING! You even got my mother to come out and dance... I can't
remember the last time I saw her dance... you know, come to think of it... I have
NEVER seen her dance! My daughter was so happy and we kept getting comments through
out the night about what a great job you were doing... we are so pleased with everything!
Thank you - please add us to your references! Cliff Spurlin Father of the Bride
King and Prince, St Simons Island Feb 17, 2009
I just wanted to say I thought Joel did an excellent job. He was so easy to work
with and kept the bridal party informed about exactly what was expected of them
and when. He played great music and kept the party going all night! Joel was so
professional compared to other DJs I have seen at weddings/events around Atlanta.
I was very impressed! Thank you for making our friends day so memorable! Betsy Boone
Maid of Honor Danielle and Jamal Chehimi February 7 2009
Joel Rabe from Lethal Rhythms kept wedding guests entertained all night long and
made up poignant moments that were not only great "photo-ops" but also memorable
as well. We never imagined cake-cutting could be so fun for everybody until we saw
Joel guiding one couple through that ritual. We’ve worked a couple of receptions
with Joel and found him to be personable, professional, entertaining - and committed
to the couple’s satisfaction. Slava Slavic’s 2008 Winner of Best DJ Company worked
with in 2008 www.slava-slavik.com/wedding_photography/wedding_vendors_atlanta_08/
Hi, It was great working with Joel....very nice and very different from the other
DJ weddings that I've done in that he keeps it about the couple, doesn't do embarrassingly
cheesy things, and plays whatever they like. My daughter was working with me and
she even thought that he did a great job which is so rare for her because she is
the most critical person in the world. He is a photographers dream in staying out
of the way, setting up wonderful shots for us and once again....keeping it about
the bride and groom. I hope that we'll work together soon. Debbie Peacock Photography

My fiancé and I were guests at our friends Jeff and Lara's wedding in July 2008
and had such a terrific time that I decided right then that Joel and Lethal Rhythms
would be perfect for our wedding in May 2009. He knew exactly how to get everyone
in the right mood and keep the festivities rolling. I would definitely refer anyone
planning an event to go see Joel. I'm excited to see what he has planned for our
reception! Julie Muh Guest at Lara Seiden and Jeff Zell's wedding The Vinings Club

Wow, you guys are incredible!!! I was just thinking I needed to touch base with
you guys to go over everything. Thank you so much for being on top of things...you
guys really understand how a bride can start going nuts a month before so I appreciate
it!!! I will get into contact with you next week as I am trying to finalize the
song choices, timeline and events that my future hubby and I would like to take
place. Thank you guys for being on top of things, you're awesome! Kristina Moffitt

Hello Lexi~ I thought the show was AWESOME and would love to refer you guys to potential
brides in the future! Taneisha Hester with Hilton Atlanta Northeast February 7,
2009
I can't tell you how excited I am that you will be the DJ at my reception! I want
my guests to have an experience that they won't forget and one that will remind
them of David and I. I've been so impressed so far with your level of professionalism.
Meeting you at the Georgia Bridal Show was quite an experience! Out of all the DJ's
that were present, you were the one that really left me feeling at ease and feeling
like I could trust you not to play the chicken dance and the electric slide over
and over again at my reception! When I think DJ, I think slicked back hair, loudmouth
that makes people uncomfortable with corny jokes and sayings!! But you've proved
me wrong! Every other DJ I met has been hassling me in the weeks since the show.
They have called, left messages and emailed me non-stop. I wish they would spend
half the time they spend hassling me on taking care of the clients they already
have!! You've been so generous to offer me help with my wedding planning in other
areas than just music, you've even suggested florists!! It’s great to know that
if I need help or advice with anything, I always have someone to ask! Really, I
can't thank you enough, I'm looking forward to meeting you and I can't wait for
David to meet you! He is going to be so proud of me that I found a DJ that can represent
he and I well! Now I can feel at ease knowing that my guests will have a great time
at the wedding! Thanks again, Kate Foster December 12, 2009 Georgian Club
When we were planning our wedding, we initially wanted to have a live band. Unfortunately,
we found that they are very expensive, and the finances just didn't work out. We
were hesitant to have a DJ, but when we initially met with Joel, our opinions definitely
changed. He was a true professional, with tons of experience and set our minds at
ease. The whole experience was wonderful. We wanted to have a stress -free wedding
and reception, and Joel certainly helped in achieving that. He played a great mix
of music and really controlled the energy in the room brilliantly. Everyone had
a blast and we couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. Bob Pfeifer November
8, 2008 Mansion at Forsyth Park
Hi Lexi, I'm so sorry its taken me so long to get back to you guys. This is long
over due and I apologize. We're just now getting life back to normal after the wedding,
the "wedding hang-over", the holidays, and then the proverbial "holiday hangover"
. . . anyway, we were very pleased with Joel. He most certainly kept the party going
and engaged our guests! Joel did a great job and everyone had a wonderful time!
We saw Joel taking some pictures at the reception. How might we get our hands on
those? Thank you all at LETHAL RHYTHMS so much for making it a great party! Sincerely,
Kate Richeson Lambert Place October 18, 2008
We chose Lethal Rhythms because your experience and professionalism. It is a relief
to know that I have your help now in planning this wedding and making it a fun party.
Mike seems like he knows his music with his own style and I know he will do a great
job just from speaking to him on the phone. Ashlee Dixon Amicalola Falls May 30,

We chose Lethal Rhythms because they had great references in the area. Joel takes
a lot of pride in what he does and it shows. We are really excited and can't wait
for the date to get here! Melanie McCorkle Carl House June 5, 2009
Hey Joel, Well, the party was a HUGE success, I think it might have been difficult
getting people off of the dance floor : ) Fernando was a dream to work with, so
fun & engaging! Thanks again for everything, I look forward to hearing from you!

I am happy to have booked Mike for our rockin party on March 28th.!! Sarah McClure
March 28, 2009 After my initial conversation with Joel you guys really stood out.
During our meeting yesterday we really felt that Joel knew what he was talking about
and that we are in good hands. We are so excited !! Barbara Vining May 16, 2009
Hey Lexi, DJ Mike seemed very laid back with a lot of experience in making people
dance; which is exactly what we are looking for. We have a wide variety of people
coming and everyone loves to dance so I'm so excited about this. After booking this.....
I feel like the rest of the wedding planning will be a piece of cake. I would want
to go ahead and book you guys before next week so I can make sure I don't miss out
on the opportunity of using you. Thanks, Ashlee and Kevin Amicalola Falls May 30,
2009 Hey Lexi- Fernando was GREAT!!!!! He was so nice and fun...he kept the reception
going and worked well with the wedding planner. He was very positive and we loved
the music!!!! I have gotten many comments on how much fun the reception was and
how people we bummed that it ended early!!!!!! He was great!!!!! I will definitely
recommend him to friends...in fact he is already booked for our neighbor’s wedding
in May!!!! Jennifer and Brian Warren Flint Hill December 20, 2008 We chose Lethal
Rhythms over other companies because of its professionalism, the experience level
of the DJ, and the pricing options that you offer. I really appreciated the follow-up
phone calls and e-mails that I received from both you and Joel, which is something
that the other companies we dealt with did not do. It makes us feel more secure
that we can easily communicate with both the company and our particular DJ leading
up to the wedding. Jennifer Lobo April 25, 2009 When I began to write this testimonial,
I didn't know where to begin because there were so many great things I wanted to
let others know about Joel and his crew. From the moment that I came across Lethal
Rhythms and spoke with Joel, I knew he was the guy for our wedding! All I had to
do at this point was convince my fiancée. However, that didn't take too much effort
on my part and in the end, there wasn't a whole lot of convincing left to do. Joel
set up conference calls with us each step of the way to discuss every detail. With
each call, he was so personable and open to what we wanted as the bride and groom
- from the introductions of our bridal party, to making our grandparents "shake
it"! We wanted a DJ who was unique, sociable, and exceptional. As we began our search,
Joel was the only one of his kind among all of the other DJs we spoke to! For some,
it’s the florist, the cake, the food, etc. that should be the best at the wedding.
But I've said from the beginning...if there’s anything to keep it going, it should
be our DJ!!! We are confident that Joel will do just that with exceptional taste
and talent!!! Brittany Goodson Savannah, GA April 11, 2009 I want to thank Fernando
for his professionalism and talents. He rolled with the flow -in not the perfect
conditions for an outside event. I look forward to working with Lethal Rhythms in
the future. Thank you again. Have a wonderful holiday season. Sincerely, Clare Dornburg
Event Coordinator Tony Brewer and Company December 12, 2008 The Holiday Party was
a lot of fun. Joel’s performance was great. He was very friendly, encouraged participation,
took requests, etc. I wanted to send you some photos, but it turns out we didn’t
get any digital pictures this year, just regular prints that our HR department cut
into a collage. Sorry about that. Have a great holiday, Allyson Corona APCOSIGNS
December 12, 2008 I have never seen that many people dance that long - the dance
floor was completely packed - right after dinner to the end of the night! We will
definitely have more jobs for you - I am going to be needing your services for my
own reception ...please drop off business cards so we can hand them out - bring
a lot - I am that impressed!! Deborah Bolger Senior Sales Director Villa Christina
Lexi, Chris was an excellent entertainer. My wife and I were very pleased with the
way he conducted the music. Chris was very good at understanding how we wanted to
do our reception. He was easy to work with and had many great suggestions for us
on what things work well and what things we should avoid for the reception. The
best thing about Chris was that he was a free flowing person like Jenn and I, which
made things real easy. The only problem with that day was the weather. We would
recommend Chris and Lethal Rhythms to anyone getting married or having a party.
Thank you for making our wedding exciting and wonderful. Frank and Jennifer Gifford
November 29, 2008 Hi Guys, Nothing but good things have been said about the party!
Everyone said it was better than last year! Thanks again and have a wonderful holiday
season!! Yuronda Nichols Pirelli International December 6, 2008 Dear Joel, Thank
you so much for the wonderful experience of having "Lethal Rhythms" apart of our
beautiful day. It was such a pleasure meeting you from day 1 and knowing that we
were in the best musical hands in Atlanta. Again, thanks for the time, effort, and
individual care you gave to us during our special day and most of 2008 for that
matter. Thanks. Our best, Alex and Melinda Slattery September 19, 2008 Hi Joel and
Lexi - thanks for the follow up. We sure did enjoy the show - you were very entertaining
and we had a good time! I’ll make sure to pass on your name to any client that is
looking for musical entertainment. Have a good one! Sabrina Curran Account Executive
PROOF OF THE PUDDING December 9, 2008 Lethal Rhythms simply makes my job easier!
They bring the party to your party. Think about it.. a great DJ makes great moments,
and great moments make great photos. Great photos make memories last. Heidi Geldhauser
Our Labor of Love Photography We chose Joel because our goal was to find a professional
DJ/MC who could provide an elevated level of service for us and our guests that
includes managing the mood of the party, not just playing songs off of a play list.
We researched Joel online, but our face to face meeting really sealed the deal.
Thanks, Kristen Marino Alabama Theater February 28, 2009 Good Morning Joel, I hope
you are having a great day. I wanted to let you know that you were awesome! The
contact from Pirelli said that everyone had a blast and they are still talking about
how much they enjoyed the music and entertainment. Even our Staff here at Barnsley
enjoyed being around all the excitement. You were great and I will definitely recommend
you to any future events that request entertainment!! Keep up the Good Work!! Kindest
Regards, Jillian Beasley Special Event Coordinator Barnsley Gardens December 6,
2008 Hi Lexi! We received so many compliments from all our guests that this was
the best wedding they ever attended! Joel made the wedding lots of fun and exciting!
He is truly blessed with a great talent. We wish we could do it all over again.
He did everything he said he would do plus over and beyond! One of our guests also
said that was the best introduction of a bridal party he has ever seen! The Doobies'
mix he did was awesome! Is that something he could share with us online or on a
CD? Also, does he perform anywhere else? We would love to go to any public parties
or gatherings he may do. If anyone getting married needs a reference, please send
them our way. They would make a big mistake if they did not choose Joel for their
wedding. He is just fantastic! Thanks again, Sam and Debbie Randazzo Parents of
the Bride November 22, 2008 We agree with the thank you from Debbie and Sam Randazzo.
Joel was awesome. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment, presentation,
and just overall flow of the evening. Mike and Maria knew from the beginning that
Joel was the one for their wedding reception and they were right. Please feel free
to use us for references to anyone who might be interested in booking Joel. As Debbie
said, the Doobie mix was great, but then the entire evening was great. Thank Joel
again for helping make Mike and Maria's wedding the overall success it was. We'll
never forget this evening. Anne Bolsius Mother of the Groom November 22, 2008 Joel
rocks! From the moment the reception started he had the guests excited and ready
for a good time. Taking time to introduce the bride and groom and share a bit of
their story before they made their grand entrance was a personal touch I have never
seen from a DJ and as the Maid of Honor at the wedding I know the bride and groom
couldn't have been happier as Joel hit all the highlights of what brought them together
while they waited behind closed doors. Joel nailed the type of music the bride and
groom loved and managed to keep the dance floor full of young and old the entire
night without resorting to the "chicken dance" or "the electric slide". All of this
and he did it without being chatty or cheesy. I'm getting married soon and the only
thing I'd say Joel could do better is move to CA and DJ my wedding!! I tried to
fly him out...but he was already booked - I was that impressed! I hope Mark and
I can find a DJ as fun as him! Serene (Davis) - Maid of Honor at Pfeiffer Wedding
May 16 2009 San Francisco CA
Ryan and I were so impressed with our initial meeting with Joel. He really put our
minds at ease about how the ceremony and reception are going to take place! Joel
had awesome ideas and we feel totally confident that he will ensure that all of
our guests have a great time! Thanks again and we look forward to working with Joel!
