A Solid Gold Sound reviews and complaints

I paid for A Solid Gold Sound in full before our April 24, 2010 wedding. We did have a dj show up, and he was ALSO the videographer we paid for. He did video and dj the wedding, but almost 2 months later we have heard nor seen anything about our video! The dj did a fair job, but we paid for a disco ball, 4 speaker sound system, cordless mic, all of the original video footage, and 3 dvds, and did not get ANY of that. I am just heartbroken and really want our video. Who would even want that footage? We paid for it, I know they taped it, but why don't we have it? Now like you all have said, there are no phone numbers or anything to get ahold of these people, so if anyone can help us at least get out video back, I'd appreciate it so much. Thanks.

neil starkey here,

i have done some reaserch on this Ron Doyle and found some interesting things!

below are some links, i think you should take a look at. if carefully looked at there is a alot of links between john kruer and ron doyle. theres two sites (linkedin.com) that i have even paid for to get more info on certian people such as beth kruer and ron doyle

i have had contact with john kruer and, apparently, john kruer is feeling the heat. i sent him these links. john kruer keeps calling me about once every hour. i just let him keep filling up my voice mail. he swears the BBB has false information! YEAH RIGHT! beth kruer will throw you for a loop, she's johns wife, he even told me she is, and she ran amear llc, the entity that ran a solid gold sound when ron doyle owened it.

as far as randy blankenship i only can get ahold of his secretary. they claim ron doyle is filing for bankruptcy but cant provide a case number, (not legally obligated) which i thought was public records anyway.

I hired this DJ company for my destination wedding for 5/2/10, both for the wedding ceremony (on the beach so I needed music and a wireless mic) and the reception. I did everything they asked and paid $600 in advance. Then the DJ never showed up! Minutes before my wedding me, the bride, is frantically calling. You can imagine how that felt. No one from this company answered or contacted me the next day even after a million calls, and I called them every single day for 10 days, sometimes calling 5 times a day, and each time if I actually got someone they told me I had to talk to some guy Ryan who apparently was never there and never returned any of my many messages. No sorry, no nothing. I am now disputing the charges with my credit card company. I could not believe their disregard for what they did to me on my wedding. Sometimes mistakes happen, but ignoring me and avoiding me is unethical business practice and evidence they do not stand behind any part of the fake guarantee. I did considerable research on this company nationwide (after the fact unfortunately) and found that this company has an F rating with the BBB (the worst). In fact, according to the BBB, A Sensory Sound reported it was out of business, and has a sister company Solid Gold Sound, which has tons of complaints. On top of that, I found that the guy that sold me the package (Jessie) goes on all of these websites and writes fake good testimonials, so how can you trust any testimonial? All of his fake comments were listed on his yahoo account I corresponded on him with, and that is how I tracked each of these locations. If they were that good they would not need to have their own employees write fake comments across cities nationwide. By the way, the supposed good comments are all the same on each of these sites. There are hundreds of complaints. It is not worth the attractive discounts to take even a slight chance with your wedding; pick someone local with a proven reputation and do your research! I have taken time to go to any site I can find on this company with my story so this does not happen to other couples on the biggest day of their lives. Do not make the same mistake I did!

did you ever figure out what to do? My wedding is June 5th and I called the DJ to make final arrangements to discover their phone numbers, all three of them, website, web chat and our DJ's email address have all been disconnected. I've paid them in full as of November 2009, now 30 days before my wedding I don't have a DJ, my budget doesn't allow me to pay for another one because I paid them everything I had to spend on a DJ. What are you doing about it? What can I do about it?!

We are DJs in business since 1988 serving NE Ohio and our company gets last minute calls all the time from someone calling from the actual wedding because the DJ didn't show. First question we ask is "Did you hire Solid Gold?" and almost always the answer is yes.

Man I feel you! They called me on a Friday night in October for a wedding reception the NEXT DAY. I told them I wanted them to express a check to me and send me a tracking number, they said okay.. So they sent me the Paper work.

Tracking number was BS! Here we are 3 months later. No payment, infact now I call so much once they hear my voice they put me on a permanant hold. So I just call back. At this point I wast about 2 hours a making their job a ###.

I want to contact a lawyer, but it will cost me 10x as much as they owe me. But it's almost worth the expense.

BOTTOM LINE... DON'T HIRE SOLID GOLD. DON'T WORK FOR SOLID GOLD. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH THE SCAM THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE THOUGH BUT I SURE HOPE THEY ALL ROT IN HELL.

I paid in full over the phone and the night of the reunion, June 12th 2010, no one showed up from the company. The phone number I was given, had been disconnected when I called that evening, when I realized they were late. I have since done some investation...complaints like mine go back on this company since 2004. Several people from Colorado that have listed complaints on Ripoffs.com. as well as people all over the country. I was lead to believe it was a Colorado based company. They said they knew of the hotel and had done many events there. I called the number of the original owner John Kruer [protected]), ...he said he sold the company in 2008. Rob Doyle, continued to use the name of his company. The second owner, Rob Doyle, shut his business down end of May 2010, but never called or refunded any money. I have contacted the BBB of Colorado, of Ohio and Kentucky...(as they both state are where they work out of, and both state have compliants on their BBB site on this company. I have attached a letter from the BBB of Ohio in reference to this company. They are presently going to start an investigation as they have 90+ compliants and 38 in the last month. John Kruer has called my house approximately 10 times. He wants me to amend what I posted on the internet. I said, I just want my money back and he said he couldn't help me. His last phone call stated, that he had an idea how I could get my money back. I have not called him back. John Kruer is still listed as the owner of the Parent company, by the BBB of Ohio. I posted on the internet, Ripoffs.com, he takes your money and then you don't receive any services. He said to me, people get sued for saying what you did on the internet. He said, You are ruining my reputation and family name. When I asked about similar complaints from customers that go back to 2004, he said his business cannot be accurate all the time, his main business is weddings...I have the recordings on my phone if anyone is interested. The number for this business in Colorado has been disconnected, however the number for the business in Arizona is active and they called me yesterday...I spoke with Jerry...[protected]) I only talked to him about doing a party, just to see if it was the same company...I believe it to be...I am wanting to find out who the owner of this company, since the owner cannot be tracked down at this point. I am contacting the Attorney General's office of Arizona and Kentucky as well. I am also contacting my credit card company...The BBB of Ohio article on A Solid Gold...Leaves Brides at the Alter is very detailed at what this company has been doing to consumers, unfortunately it is too big to download...so DateLine...Today Show...this company needs to be exposed!

Our company just did a last minute job with less than 24 hours notice for a wedding that Solid Gold backed out of even though they already were paid in advance by the bride and groom. According to the couple, they were told that their Solid Gold DJ was in a terrible car wreck and would be unable to DJ their wedding. Also, the couple told us that they had never spoken to or met this DJ before their wedding and had the impression that Solid Gold was a local company with an office in their NE Ohio city. The couple booked us directly over the phone that evening calling from their rehearsal dinner, picked music and filled out an online planning form that evening on our website, and spoke to our DJ late that evening to review their details so they could go to bed that night without this major worry on their minds. They even told us afterwords that although they only dealt with us for about 30 hours total from when they called us frantic to the end of their reception, they got better service and attention than they ever did from Solid Gold.

I'm also a DJ and I'm in the same position that you are. I have there addresses for the Louisville location and the Edgewood Ky location I sent out two certified letters to each location on Fri 12/18/09 and also just two regular letters on the same day. So I know how you feel they owe me about 600 dollars But if we all get together we can bring this company to a stand still because they have been doing this to alot of people and still getting away with it.

Just for the record, there are at least 3 other Solid Gold Sound DJ companies as well as Solid Gold Djs and Solid Gold Entertainment in Columbus Oho, Phoenix Arizona, Detroit Michigan, Denver Colorado and in Florida ( Orlando, Tampa area I think) that are NOT AFFILIATED with this company. These are all good DJ services that just happen to have a similar name and should not be confused with the immoral people running A Solid Gold Sound

A 'Solid Gold Scam' should really be the name of this operation instead of a 'Solid Gold
Sound' In all my years ( 30) I have never encountered an operation so brazenly criminal! I mean, these guys must hang a poster of ' Bernie Madoff' in their office and
worship him as their hero. But, here is a message to these Thieves and Liars in Kentucky:
Bernie Madoff got away with his scam foe awile...now he is IN JAIL. So will you be ..soon!

~ I foolishly agreed to work as a wedding dj for these jerks in 10/09 and it wasn't after 4
weddings and no payment I realized the fool I was for trusting them!Like hundreds of other Brides and vendors owed thousands of dollars I sit here in Dec. 2009 awaiting a
check for $700 that will likely never come. BUT...I am fighing for my money and for
all of you who are also victims of these criminals, I suggest this : Send an Email of your
ordeal to Officer Jim Ryan in Kentucky. He is spearheading an investigation now !
Maybe, just maybe TOGETHER we can get what we are owed : jmr@edgewoodky.gov

Paid $800 for a Videographer and he never showed up. The company kept making different excuses and stopped taking my calls. They never refunded my money and claimed to have gone out of business. I see they are up and running again trying to steal more money from unsuspecting couples. PLEASE do yourself a favor and don't throw away your hard earned money and ruin your wedding memories!

A Solid Gold Sound DJ/Video Services is a nationwide Internet DJ/Video company ran by John Kruer with home offices in Kentucky.

I contacted this company back in June to contract their services. At that time I PREPAID IN FULL the total due for the services I was to receive on my wedding day. The first incident that took me back was when I had called to inquire about their services and got a disconnected signal for the # listed for the Kansas City # on the Website.

I then called the 1-800 # and told the representative about this which he replied "I will have to look into that". They later took this # off the website. I also found out later that this company contracts local DJ's and had no local office. I then called a few weeks later to inquire about the free gifts offered on the website. I told the phone representative that I had never received the "Free Gifts"(money saving reports & countdown to wedding date clock)that was advertised on the website, at that time the representative laughed at me and told me he would look into it. I never heard anything else on that. Once I had my song list complete around 75 songs from the companies list and around 30 that I added. I faxed and emailed the list to their office. I then waited until 6 days prior to my wedding to call their office to ask when my DJ would be contacting me. I was told 7-10 days prior to my event. When I told the representative it was 6 days out she said "OH, well let me give
you his # so you can get ahold of him". I thought ok I will contact him instead of him calling me? I then called and spoke to the DJ who then told me he never received any info on my event from A Solid Gold Sound and he would have to call in and then get back to me. He did return the call later in the evening stating he had spoke with their office and after discussing it he was going to "pull me out of the fire" by doing my event, at that time I asked why was I "in the fire" to begin with? I was told that he was already booked for the day of my event but was going to cancel it, to do mine. I thought this strange considering I had PREPAID IN FULL MONTHS AGO. The DJ then asked me to send him my song list. I told him I had already sent it to their office twice and thought he could get it from them. He then went on to tell me how "unreliable" their office is and would prefer if I sent it direct. I told him I would, and arranged for a follow up call the next day. I called the Solid Gold Sound office the next morning to discuss how unhappy I was with the service so far and just wanted to get this done. I was told by their office that the DJ was a good DJ but was rather "full of himself" and he DID have the song list I had sent. I then called the DJ and he told me "no" he had not yet received it, and asked again if I would send it to him direct. I sent him the list and everything seemed to finally be headed in the right direction. I spoke with the DJ again the next day(3 days before the wedding) and arranged to bring the 8 or so songs he could not get, and told him if he needed anything else to let me know. This brings us to the wedding day. The DJ showed up on time to the event and the first thing we went over was where he would set up. After we got that cleared up he then asked about power, the owner of the establishment showed him where the power was located(about 30ft from the set up location). He then asked the owner for an extension cord! Even the owner was laughing and said "well the professional DJ's usually have an extension cord". Well the DJ had some sort of excuse for that. But the owner was nice enough to loan him one and he began to set up. Prior to the ceremony I asked the DJ if he had the ceremony music ready? He looked at me and said well no. I had discussed this with their office weeks earlier about him doing the ceremony music. And was told that's fine he would do it. That's why I paid for him to be there a half hour prior to my ceremony. Well regardless the DJ finished setting up, played a little easy listening music prior to my ceremony then got to relax playing no music for about 30 to 45 min during the ceremony. Once the ceremony was over and we came back to reception area the DJ then began to play some music. After about 20 min or so my new wife asked why he had yet to play one of our songs from the music we had selected. When I approached him and asked about this he told me "Well someone last week spilled a drink on my laptop so I'm using this backup laptop" I asked what this had to do with my songs and he said nothing, he would get some on for me. After the Wedding Toast and Bouquet & Garter tosses, we danced to our song (that I had to bring, that is available on I tunes). This was about 45 minutes of what I actually paid for. But soon after my wife again approached me and said she had heard this same song 3 times and had yet to hear a song from our play list! This was over half way through our event. When I went to the DJ to ask him why he was playing the same song he had played 3 times now he also had an excuse. He told me that someone from the event he had done prior had walked off with one of his patch cords and he was having to mix everything by hand? I asked again to just play some of our songs. After about another 20 min or so we finally got into our song list. Considering our event had been going on for hours I thought this to be completely unprofessional. Our song list finally made it into the play list with only about an hour remaining of music. After that I was more focused on attending to my guests and my new Bride. The DJ packed up and left exactly at his scheduled time. The next day when my wife and I discussed the entire day she said the only thing that she would have changed was the DJ. When I spoke with many friends and family they all said the same thing "Your wedding was beautiful but that DJ was awful" I agree with them.

I paid this company IN FULL AND IN ADVANCE for a what I was expecting to be a good job. It was most certainly not a good job.

Since my event I have contacted their office to ask for a some sort of refund all I have got back are rude defensive emails. The [customer service] (link: http://www.my3cents.com/companyReview.cgi?compid=&subcat=6) was horrible from the beginning and the DJ was awful. The entire staff was unprofessional and rude.

I hope that anyone who is looking for a quality DJ stays clear of this company, after searching for complaints on this company(something I wish I would have done prior) I found many many complaints on them. The national BBB office gives this company an F rating which is the lowest possible.

You are totally right about A Solid Gold Sound being a scam. I booked a DJ and Videographer through them in April, 2009 for my son's wedding in Norcross, Ga. Paid everything upfront. They sounded so professional on the phone, returned my emails promptly, and of course, promptly took my money. The DJ did show up, however, he was no dressed appropriately. However, thank the Lord he did at least show up. The videographer also showed up and shot tons of footage of the wedding. About two months after the wedding, I began calling and inquiring about the wedding video. Every time I called, I was told it was being edited and would be mailed soon. After I began to question them about their business on the phone, they stopped answering the phone and eventually took down their website. This will soon be two years ago. I had an attorney write letters to them to no avail. I was able to talk by phone to John Kruel who told me he was a "born again Christian" and would try to help me get my video. Said he had sold the company. Believe it or not, he did call me back and say he was working on it, but it never came. Please tell me how I can join a suit against this company. I want to warn everyone against using this company.
