Guys the situation is over with. I thank everyone for their ideas and support. I used Canute's verbage and it fit perfect. Yes, when it comes to this stuff I can be a perfectionist. Like I said, I'm always my harshest critique. Wedding wire starts with my highest first. So they would have to read them all to get to my worst 
. My goal is always excellence, so it can be a little bit of a pain for me to be less than what I want to be. At least my goals are to excell and not to just settle.

I listen to you all the time Canute, they say it's good to respect your elders.

I certainly get you. I too can be a bit harsh on myself too at times. I've learned to easy does it. I'm what you would call human and not God. He doesn't fall short but I do at times. I try to do my best to give my best at all times. Very rarely do I fall short but it does happen. The reason why it rarely happens is because of me knowing what to do in certain situations to make things go smoothly.Guys the situation is over with. I thank everyone for their ideas and support.

I understand his frustration. The problem is, 4.7 can be either a true assessment or it can be a serious swipe at you. The review system has gotten to be a bit of a joke where clients (who are happy) are just expected to give straight 5s on everything. When they back off a bit, you never know which of the two situations mentioned above that it is.
Dave you said you rate your performance and that night was a 9.....They gave you a 9.4. It doesn't seem so bad
That's so ridiculous it's near obsessive. You're trying to read people's minds again. WTF..what's with all the suspicion all the time?
If she wanted to take a swipe at him all she had to do was write: "The DJ did or didn't..." and point out exactly how he failed her. She didn't do that. She simply expressed a wish that she had planned things (perhaps with him) a little differently.
Bro, those reviews can be seriously messed up and I feel your pain. Let me share one with you.
I recently did 2 weddings; 9-29 and 10-20 for 2 close friends. First wedding stunk. I did my job. Bride was pissed because she bought the big pkg (rich girl, spent $1k extra). Second wedding was off the hook, and a basic DJ pkg. I did the first one and a new associate (whom I'd let do about 3-4 weddings) performed that one. I did a full site survey, went over the details carefully and walked him thru all the steps to take and it worked beautifully. First bride absolutely ripped me with a 2.4. Her whole complaint was the Photobooth and a botched slideshow. She said she was pleased with the DJ portion. The 2nd girl gave me a 5.0 BUT she actually took a swing at me personally, stating how she was reviewing my associates;
Now whether she really feels that I'm less of a DJ than my new(ish) associate or whether she's just supporting her friend by taking a personal dig, I dunno but it was difficult to swallow that dig when my company got a perfect assessment. It's pretty well known that WW scores are either 5.0 or they're nothing. The scoring system is broken, IMHO.

If it's so ridiculous to "read people's minds" then how do you choose the material you play?

Right, ...so the 5.0 reviews - those are all intelligent, thoughtful reviews but, anything else is a fluke?
I'm not reacting to their minds - I'm minding their actions.
