The best dj

Jason was the BEST DJ, throughout the planning process we had told him our goal was to get the most amount of people on the dance floor all night. He definitely delivered, we had guests of all different age groups tell us how much they loved the music and how well the DJ did. Jason was so organized, we had filled out an Excel sheet with all of the details of the day and included some of our must play songs. Jason hit the mark for all of the songs we were hoping to hear throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception. Jason was also the MC for the night introducing all of our bridal party and events throughout the night (speeches, cake cutting, bouquet toss, pictures, etc), and his timing and attention to detail was perfect. Jason also provided the music and microphones for the ceremony, I have been to weddings where it is difficult to hear those speaking throughout the ceremony or during speeches; this was not the case, the sound system was crystal clear. Dawson Entertainment and Jason were perfect, and I would recommend them to everyone!

Kenny Q Productions Kenny Q Productions Wedding DJs

If you hire DJ JD and Dawson Entertainment, you will have one of the best DJs in the US. Most DJ companies in Connecticut will not endorse another local DJ because of competition. Not only do we at Kenny Q Productions endorse Dawson Entertainment, We are confident enough to admit that we have learned a lot from Jason Dawson (DJ JD) himself. Jason has visited us on several occasions to help us perfect the technique of mixing various genres of music in a way to keep the energy on a packed dance floor. Jason is a master at this. He is internationally known as one of the best that this country has to offer. As a professional that has been providing DJ entertainment since 1984, I truly believe that you are in good hands when you hire DJ JD and Dawson Entertainment. Sincerely, Kenny Quintero Kenny Q Productions
