Planning a party is no easy task, especially when it comes to picking the right type of entertainment. After browsing many companies that offered seemingly great service, I came across Moondance Productions. Not only did they have an outstanding rating, but all the comments/reviews immediately convinced me that Steve was the right man for the job. And it's true. Not only did Steve and his team bring a impressive amount of equipment, they brought a great deal of professionalism. They adapted to the venue space without seeing it prior, they catered to every request that I had, and did it with a smile. The karaoke was the highlight of the evening. The DJ started the night off playing great music until there were enough drinks in everyone to get the singing started. I also had Steve set up a Photo Booth that people could enjoy. He had a table full of fun props and wigs that everyone was eager to model. It was such a blast! I was also able to create a template with our film's logo to display on all the prints, which put such a personal touch on the whole evening. The best part is that I received a CD full of all the images to send out as blackmail to everyone at the party. I would recommend Moondance Productions to anyone who is looking to host a fun party and I'll continue to use them for my own events in the future. Thank you Steve!!!

Steve was great, DJ kept the party going all night. I didn't really give any instructions but there were a few times it would have been good if he MC'ed or asked for any announcements. Overall, everyone asked for his contact info, music was great, and people had a blast!

DJ Steve helped to make our wedding reception very memorable. He had a huge song list with the obscure songs we requested and was able to keep things moving. In planning for the day of, he sent documents to fill out which allowed my husband and I to plan without wasting our time.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I find most of my clients are planning a large party for the first time. And parties is all I do. So I like to guide my client through the process, provide all the planning tools I can and provide thorough information so clients can pick the options that best suit their event.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    There are always developments in the field. we stay on top of all the new technology and keep our music database updated every week.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    A Great DJ makes all the difference. Not all DJ's that call themselves wedding DJ's have been professionally trained to do weddings, and are just going off trail and error. I have been personally trained by a 30 year veteran of wedding receptions. I am now in my 11th year personally. I use a timetable to make everything run smoothly along with an info page asking what you want the DJ to do and specific items about your reception. I use professional DJ software to mix and It allows me search my 105,000 selections to instantly play your request. I play better music overall because of my superior genre organization. I customize every event the way you want it. I wear a tuxedo. Your wedding is important and what the DJ wears is an indication of how important is to them. I am a wedding specialist and your reception is extremely important.
