Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke

  • DJ
  • Starts at $749
  • Serves Jacksonville, NC

I started DJing back during my college years at Penn State in 1982. In the beginning, I was helping a friend of mine who bought a complete DJ setup from a business who was selling one of their systems. We did frat parties, formals & some of the local State College bars. After college I moved to Binghamton, NY. There I had a six month radio show on a public station. I also worked some of the local bars under the name Sounds Fantastic. Fast forward to January of 2000 we moved to Raleigh,NC to bring our musical experience to the south!

Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke was a fantastic choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, Dan had a direct and easy communication style that made working with him a breeze. He was incredibly helpful, easy to work with, and delivered exactly what we needed for our special day. We had several special music requests for different parts of the wedding, and Dan handled them all without any mistakes. The music and energy he brought to the dance floor kept our guests entertained all night long. We would absolutely love to work with Dan and Danamare Productions again in the future. HIRE HIM!
