To tell the story of our couples on the most important day of their life is something our team takes to heart. We guarantee that after your wedding day has ended, your guests will be raving about the unique moments we helped create. No 2 weddings are alike when you book us because we make sure to bring light to the things that make you as a couple different.

If music is a top priority for your event or you’re concerned you won’t find the right dj to fulfill all of your requests, worry no more. From start to finish Ken made the entire process a total breeze and we had fun while doing so! My husband and I were very specific on what we wanted for our wedding music production and Ken did not disappoint. Not only did we have full control of what would be played (& not played) throughout the evening but he made our night completely unforgettable. From his entire sound system which included a video screen that incorporated pictures and videos, to [up]lighting that went with our music, along with unique touches during first dances and our last dance, we were floored with how perfectly he executed our special day. It’s been over a year since our wedding and our guests are still talking about how we had the best dj and music. The only complaint we had was that our guests couldn’t leave the dance floor to grab a drink or take a break because the songs and energy kept getting better and better! I’d get married again in a heartbeat just to rebook Ken and dance the night away!

Veronica played at our church ceremony and she was such a pleasure to work with. She was so professional, quick with communication, had a huge repertoire to choose from (everything from Christian hymns to classical to pop), and helped guide us on what music we needed for the ceremony. My guests loved her playing. The best part is I didn't have to worry about her at all, which is huge when you have 10 other vendors to coordinate. I'm so glad I found her.

Mike brought expert level attention to detail, along with a great feel for the vibe of our reception. First, he was very informative in our initial discussions, providing direct answers to each of our questions, and giving us an easy to fill in Google Doc for our input. He met with us and our event coordinator to discuss timeline and go over our preferences for certain parts of the ceremony. On the day of he was set up and ready to go for our cocktail hour, and by the time we entered for our first dance he had our (normally very shy) friends and family bumping with energy. During the first dance he kept an eye out for me to signal to wrap up our song a little early (nobody wants to hear a long instrumental outro...). He then proceeded to do a great job of MC'ing our dinner and toasts. Then our party was a complete blast. He expertly weaved in our recommendations with his own song picks. This was no small feat since our wedding featured a combination of American and South Indian cultures, meaning that he had to blend in a number of songs that were most likely new to him. Overall it went really well, with both of our dads having an amazing time, and our friends grouping up for some of the bigger tracks. He closed the night with a special intro to our closer song (Daft Punk's One more time) and everyone was asking for more (unfortunately venues have strict closing times). So, we would highly recommend for the professionalism, organization and ability to keep track of the party's mood as the night went on.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Davis & Company Productions was birthed in a time of uncertainty during the pandemic shutdown of 2020. After years of being in the hospitality and service industry and quite a few weddings, I definitely found my passion for people only growing the more I got into it. From weddings and school dances to corporate and private family events, my goal with Davis and Company is to help create and execute magical moments meant to last a lifetime

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

We came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us. Till this day we recommend CSE to all of our friends looking for an awesome team to work with for their weddings.. Love you guys! :)
