Dawson Entertainment Production, LLC

Q: What do you wear?

We wear a classic black suit and tie with a white or grey button-up shirt.

Q: Do you take music requests?

It's never a bad thing to listen to guest request, but we do use our best judgment to decide if we actually play a request or not, based on our past experience playing the song and our conversations with you, the couple hosting the event. Even if a song request will not quite fit the vibe of the event, it may guide us to play something similar that would work for the dance floor.

Q: Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are happy to provide proof of insurance if you or your venue request it.

Q: How early do you come to set up?

We arrive 1.5-2 hours before our start time for set up. We like to give plenty of time so we don't have to rush.

Q: Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Yes, we can provide full Uplighting, Pin Spots, Monograms, Marquee Letters and Mirror Photo Booth!

Q: What are your sales taxes?

All taxes are included in the price.

Q: What is your travel and break down fee?

We do not charge for setup or break down. We only charge from the time we start playing music at the beginning of the event until we stop playing music at the end of the event. Our travel radius is 2 hours from Griswold, CT. Anything beyond that would require a travel fee and/or hotel accommodations.

Q: What is your style?

First and foremost, we’re lovers of music and we started DJing to share that love with the world. We come from a nightclub background with a focus on playing music that makes people dance! We use our smooth nightclub mixing and blending techniques to make every transition between songs smooth, seamless and interesting to keep the energy up so there is always a fun vibe on the dance floor.

John did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ! He really took into account our music preferences and made sure to smoothly execute all the small details of the night. We had a blast on the dance floor all night and so did our guests (we got many compliments from guests on how good our DJ was). Thank you to Jason as well for his coordination with our ceremony musicians on the equipment prior to the wedding. All in all, Dawson entertainment is a great team to work with!
Danced all night!

Dawson Entertainment Production, LLC was an amazing choice for our wedding DJ. Their communication style was easy, detailed, and great throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly outstanding - they kept the dance floor packed all night with their fun, upbeat music. There were a lot of last minute schedule changes, but Jason went with the flow and assured me that everything would be just fine. And he was right - our guests, of all ages, had an absolute blast dancing the night away. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole time, and we were all so sore the next day! Dawson Entertainment really took the time to understand the demographic of our guests, and it showed in how they tailored the music and energy to keep everyone engaged and having the time of their lives. I cannot recommend Dawson Entertainment highly enough for any couple planning their wedding.
John was amazing!

TJ from Dawson Entertainment was a great person to work with! His laid back, go-with-the-flow personality really put us at ease during wedding prep and on the big day. He has a great feel for when to switch songs based on the audience - we had a good sized crowd of older family members and he pivoted towards the oldies hits with ease. TJ made sure we were all aligned on grand entrances, speeches and whatnot, and everything went off without a hitch!
