Marc and I can't thank Steve and MJ enough for making our wedding a success. The music was so good the dance floor was packed the entire night and no one would leave to get on the first shuttle (we had to hire another shuttle). We have heard numerous compliments from our guests...including Marc's grandfather who is in his late 80's. He danced to almost every song and with every lady at the wedding. We would highly recommend DZ for any function, as they cater to your specific needs/wants. They are true professionals! Every song we requested was played, bringing much joy to our guests when they heard their favorites. MJ was great in getting the guests on the floor to do the dreaded chicken dance (which I requested for the kids), and even showed a few how to dance along to it. Our guests laughed, sang and danced all night. It made our night to see everyone having such a great time on our special day. I would highly recommend DZ Entertainment for any occasion!!!!

Randy & Bob were absolutely fantastic to work with.  I would recommend them to anyone.  They were very professional, very accommodating and had great personalities.  A lot of people asked me about them, so hopefully you all will get some additional business out of this.  Honestly, I couldn't have hoped for anything better.  Having these guys do the DJ'ing at the reception was the perfect way to continue my daughter's special day after the service.

Hello Phil,
I had some reservations about you and DZ Entertainment as Elise was doing all of the ground work and I believe, picked you out of a hat!:-). Additionally, I neglected to focus on the music until the very last week prior to her wedding. When I realized that the music was the most important element of her reception I started to move. Unfortunately for you,  I became the Micro-Managing Mother of the Bride From Hell. I really had no idea of your style, I was fearful that the music would not reflect their taste and playfulness.  

Wow!!! You provided an incredible experience for these two rather unique and special people and all of our guests.  You were classy, appropriate, humorous and the musical choices could not have been better! You managed the reception in a way that reflected someone with sensitivity to the room and a great deal of experience.  I could not have been more pleased.  Because of you the atmosphere really reflected all of the love in the room and the personalities of the bride and groom. I will go out of my way to recommend your services and will remember you for any future events that I host. I am very grateful. Thank you from the heart

Phil,
I just wanted to finally thank you for the above and beyond amazing job you did DJing for our (Don & Elise Harrington) wedding that took place September 27, 2008. In planning the wedding, my biggest concern and effort was in making the reception a truly fun celebration -- and as everyone knows, that's incredibly tough with weddings when you're planning for a crowd with a variety of tastes and of different generations. Despite my not really knowing too much what I wanted played and my mother's anxious pre-wedding nixing of your suggestions, I can say that I have never had so much fun in my life. You completely tuned into what would get everyone dancing and kept it going all night! Everyone had a blast, if that wasn't already visible :) It's been a month and friends and family are still talking about how awesome the reception was. I've had wedding attendee pros telling me it was their favorite wedding ever. I was so worried I would be too anxious as the bride to feel comfortable dancing with everyone watching, (I've been to weddings where the music wasn't too good and not too many people wanted to dance.. I was dreading something like that happening), but every time I had to stop for photos or even do the cake cutting, all I could think was 'ah man, I want to go back to dancing!'. There were even times where the literal dance floor was filled to the brim and people were dancing off to the sides. You did a noticeably professional job with MCing as well -- I loved when you had my sister announce the bride and groom; that was such a sweet idea. To summarize, the music is obviously the biggest part a wedding reception, and you delivered it better than I could have imagined! I had guests say goodbye because they had to leave only to see them still there to the very end. Our photographer said it was the best wedding she had ever been too (wow)! I was nervous I would be so anxious that I wouldn't have fun but I can honestly say whole heartedly that it really was the happiest day of my life. I can't thank you enough! I'll look to you whenever we or anybody we know needs a DJ again!
Sincerely,
Elise Harrington

Randy has entertained at two recent events for my family (both being weddings) and he is very good at getting everyone up on the dance floor and using props to encourage participation. He interacts with the crowd and is attentive to the type of crowds he is dealing with. I would highly recommend Randy Ward for ANY event. He has also entertained for my company at our company picnics and he interacts very well with children (of all ages).

It was a pleasure working with DJ Dana Beck.  He was willing and open to meeting us before the actual wedding day. He was flexible, organized, and made our wedding day a memorable one. Furthermore, he was very personable and interacted with our guests well.  He played a good mix of songs for the variety of age range of individuals attending our banquet.

For our Bar Mitzvah party, my 13-yr. old son, my husband & I, all found Randy to be great to work with. Randy was friendly, professional, and solicitous of our input. We met in advance, and Randy helped us to plan our function. Randy had plenty of great ideas. He kept the party continuously fun for the kids. He played music that my son picked out in advance from an enormous list, there was dancing (including some slow dancing for the grandparents), there were lots of games, and there were balloon sculptures. Randy also guided the party along, from setting up speeches, to coordinating activities. In our multi-room venue, the adults that wanted to share the fun with Randy & company had a great time, and those who were conversing in adjacent rooms were not overwhelmed by the sound system. My son and his friends thought that this was the best party ever, and so did my husband and I and all of our friends and relatives! We enthusiastically recommend Randy and DZ Entertainment.

Dear Steve and Mary Jane,
Thank you for being such wonderful DJ's Saturday night at Nick and Jenny's reception. I don't dance much myself, but I love to listen to the music and watch the dancing. You did a terrific job. I also appreciated the way you introduced us all (anticipating those
introductions had me quite nervous in the weeks before the wedding, but when the time came, it seemed natural, thanks to you) and also the way you managed our toasts--and your farewell at the end of the evening. Best wishes for the rest of the summer. I know you must be very busy during this summer season, and I imagine that will continue into the
fall.

They were cl! ear and professional in their organization and orchestration of events such as the introduction, first dance, and toasts. And regarding the dancing part of the evening, we were particularly impressed with how spot-on they were in their ability to read the crowd like an open book and give them the music that kept them enthusiastically dancing. The were flexible to know what was liked and go with it. This ability kept the dance floor packed and made everyone have a great time. We are still receiving compliments for how much fun our guests had. Jenny and I were on the dance floor the entire night and it was a blast!! Thank you guys for such a wonderful and memorable event.

Steve and MJ were Amazing. We could not have picked anyone better for the job. I am in the Navy and My wife was teaching in Md at the time of our wedding. My family is from Mississippi and hers is from Mi. Both of them love to party. The only thing we told Steve and MJ was first dance, the song for my mom and I, and the song for my wife and her father. The rest was all them. They threw the best party ever and took all the stress of us for picking out songs. They are two very professional people and we my family saw them sitting there while we were all having fun they pulled them right in with us. That's just the Southern Hospitality kicking in there. Steve played for us until we were kicked right out of there. They both became good friends of ours and our friends used them as well not even realizing it was the same dj. They also did a great job there too as I am sure Justin will tell you the same thing. Steve and MJ are both worth every penny you spend with them you will have the time of your life and they truly learn their crowd and throw a great party.
