Mirage Productions

Mirage was a recommended vendor by my venue Skytop Lodge for DJ services. I met with and hired John Nola because the price was right and he seemed to know what he was talking about. He was a bit hard to reach by email and had some technology issues as far as faxing over a schedule form. But we met with him twice in person and he showed up right on schedule and did his job. I requested 3 songs during the night for first dance, cake cutting, and final song. He played all 3. We asked that he not play the electric slide and he came over and asked us when a guest had requested it. Everything else I just expected him to do his job and he did.

Mirage Music Productions-​I would NEVER recommend this DJ or Photography (Fantasy Images). I was married in May 2008 and still have not received my wedding album. After countless phone calls (voicemails) and e-​mails, the issue has not been resolved. Dealt with both the owner John Nola Sr. and the owner’s son, John Nola and both were not professional at all.
I should have known– 3 days before my wedding I received a call that they had to change my photographer. My pictures are just that– pictures. (I even had several people tell me that!) The photographer (who I was told was a ‘fashion photographer’) showed up with his assistant, his 11 year old son the day of my wedding. The lighting was horrible and the types of pictures he took were not what I had imagined (ie: the bridal party pic-​he litterally lined us up in a straight line and that was the pic)
Our photo montage, that was playing during the ceremony, had the wrong date of the wedding. My wedding video had the wrong spelling of our last name, didn’t include our wedding song and put the wrong songs in. In their defense, they did correct the wedding video after I pointed out the errors.
The prices were good (too good!) so you get what you pay for. Hard, hard lesson learned.
Update: May 18, 2011– Still have not heard from anyone at Mirage. Still have not received my wedding album. :o (
Brides Beware!
Update: December 2012: I had to go to a store that was in the same shopping complex as their «studio» and when I drove by I saw that they are now closed (not sure as of when) and cannot find a website for them. With searching for a website, I found they have 5 complaints against them with the BBB.
