This wedding planner loves Chad and Gretchen!

As a wedding planner, I've worked with a lot of DJs and photo booth operators. The dynamic duo of Chad and Gretchen are hard to beat. While both are excellent on their own, I highly recommend hiring both (Chad as DJ, Gretchen as photo booth). They bring a positive, generous energy to any event they work -- not to mention loads of professional expertise and equipment!

Highly recommend!

My husband was the last of his three siblings to get married and all three of them have had Chad as their wedding DJ going back ten years! After working with him for our wedding it is clear why. He is a true professional who clearly loves what he does. He made our night so fun. He was great as an MC as well as DJ during the dancing. I highly recommend using Chad Dowling Productions.

Best DJ and Photo Booth Team You Could Ask For!

Chad and Gretchen are an absolute delight, and one amazing team! We were lucky enough to have them DJ and Photo Booth for our wedding, and they were a complete hit all around. Not only did they keep the energy and fun factor at a constant high during the reception, but they were also soooo instrumental in keeping our wedding running smoothly, and on time. This was a huge weight off our shoulders, so we were able to just be in the moment and enjoy the day. You could not ask for 2 more professional and fun people to work with. They made the entire experience all the more memorable, and for that we are eternally grateful.
