What's a wedding without a dj? We had such a great night. All smiles when i think of my grandfather dancing on the dancefloor.

They were able to provide everything that I wanted. This includes music, lighting, GOBO, and DJ. They were on time, very professional, and made my wedding the party that I wanted it to be. Mark and Jason did a great job in interacting with our guests and even threw in a few games to give away the center pieces.
Chris their graphic design artist contacted me way in advanced to make sure the photo booth print outs and GOBO were exactly what I wanted them to be. The Monday immediately following my wedding, the manager contacted me to make sure that everything went well. Denon and Doyle provides nothing but first class service and I would highly recommend them and use them...

I don't even know where to start! From the very beginning (almost two years before my wedding, because I am crazy), I knew Denon & Doyle was going to be amazing. I first had my inquiries answered by Sue who was always very timely, sweet and informative.
I then started corresponding with the DJ I was interested in himself, Mr. Mark Haggerty. He was so amazing. As a small yet important sidenote: I was initially interested in using Denon & Doyle for lighting services in addition to DJ services and Mark went above and beyond to give me photos and videos of lighting they had done at my venue. Top notch service. (We ended up going through someone else for lighting but that had absolutely nothing to do with Denon & Doyle's work or their pricing--both of which looked fantastic! )
Now, as far as the actual event itself...Mark really exceeded all of my expectations. He called me a couple of days before the wedding and put my (crazed) mind at ease. He really made me feel like everything was going to run smoothly and boy was he right!
On the day of the wedding, he introduced everyone perfectly, played all the music we asked to be played and best of all: KEPT THE PARTY GOING! Seriously, I'm pretty sure every single one of our wedding guests (all 175 of them) were on the dance floor at one point or another (if not all night).
I can't say enough amazing things about Mark Haggerty and Denon & Doyle--I was blown away. You will not regret booking with...

Binky was our DJ and he was awesome!!! A good friend recommended this company for our weddin and I do the same for any brides in the bay area and Sacramento areas. They take all the hassle out of planning music for your reception. You simply fill out a questionaire and they do the rest. Our dance floor was packed all night long and our DJ even joined us for the Cupid shuffle!

Amazing, Fun, Extrodianary, Really went ABOVE AND FAR FAR BEYOND our expectations. We had a beautiful setting, the palace of fine arts on a beautiful day. After our sunny ceremony we sat down for our dinner under the windy rotunda. Everything was great and then the wind really kicked up and a few things blew over and our guests were freezing. While we are trying to rush the dances, cake cutting, etc... Solomon, our FABULOUS dj, talked to the Exploratorium and was able to convience them to let us use their lobby for dancing. Needless to say he kinda saved the night. Not only did he get us to an indoor venue but he also really, really, encouraged our crowd to get out there and dance and have FUN. Solomon was great.
We also have friends who used Denon and Doyle about two months ago for their wedding and their dj was cleaning leaves from the pool before their wedding, without being asked. These guys go WAY, WAY beyond your expectations. They play exactly what you want and they are so nice and fun.
Thank you for everything, we truly appreciate it. You were AMAZING

Kevin was fantastic!
Denon & Doyle provided our Wedding Ceremony music, our Cocktail hour music, Dinner hour music, and of course our Reception music - DANCE PARTY!!!
We got so many positive comments from guests of all ages, who loved the music at all of the various points of the wedding. Everything was digital and super prepared. They made sure to have all of the exact versions of the specific songs that we wanted to use. Kevin had some great suggestions for getting our guests up and out of their seats and also for various songs to use at different points. We could have danced all night!!! It was a blast and a lot of that was because of the great music.
Thanks so much Kevin & Denon & Doyle. If we ever need a DJ again, we know who to call!

Wondeful! Great selection of music and the DJ was a fantastic MC. I also had a photo booth which was a big hit with all of my guests!

Wedding: 8/7/11
Denon & Doyle were so flexible. We are incredibly picky about music, and didn't want the standard run of the mill wedding music, nor many elements of a wedding reception that we find tacky and overdone. Abe made everything run smoothly, scrapped the rules about song selection, and threw in sweet extras. It was a great party that ran without a glitch or a worry on our part. We are very satisfied.

Solomon was amazing- ask for him! He played everything we had as Must Haves, he listened to us and captured the air of the evening!
Lauren
Wedding: 6/4/11
Great company. Very thorough assessment of what we wanted. We submitted a "play" and "do not play" list, both of which our DJ, Abe, followed. Cocktail hour was a little cheezy, but honestly I think my (now) husband probably picked most of those songs, some of which were meant to be funny, some not. When things weren't getting as lively as we hoped, my husband just went over to the DJ, asked him to play some "butt shaking music" and Abe played a lot of club hits that people loved. Everyone had a great time, and Abe was very helpful with the schedule of the night and also diffusing any attempts by relatives to make unplanned speeches :). Very diplomatic!

If you want a great reception, think about hiring a photobooth!! Besides my DJ, the photobooth (and the attendant) were a big hit.
I researched a few photobooth vendors and felt D&D were the right choice at the right price for me. They have a solid reputation. Offer excellent machines including vintage models. Stay away from all those amateurish digital camera/printer setups with the pvc pipe rigging and curtain enclosures.
We opted for the APM which is a stand alone open booth. My guests loved it! Even the more conservative, reserved guests got more than a few poses in. Tom the attendant was great! He loved helping people, but especially loved helping the kids. He was a good looking guy which helped break the ice for more than a few of my single female guests to get a little crazy and have some fun!
The cost was just right for us and the size of the booth for our venue perfect. I would have loved to have been able to get the full size booth but thought that getting more people in an open area was better and I was right!
For much less than $1000.00 my guests had a great time and a momento of that evening! You should see the scrap book pages people made for us, instead of signing a boring ol' guest book!
D&D was great with communication and delivered everything they promised. Every step of the process was so easy and smooth. I handled all the paperwork with Sue Doyle and she was excellent to work with. When the time came, she had a great graphic designer work with us on our stip layout design. And she even came through on a unique font I wanted to use! Tom was there with the booth on-time and we had no problems with the equipment the entire night. The quality of the photo strips was excellent, plus getting a DVD AND an online gallery is more than what I expected. Now everyone can see themselves and get an extra copy of their photos!
I would definitely hire them again for other events. Holidays are just around the corner....

Dear Chris and the Team at Denon & Doyle:
Thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding so special! Denon & Doyle was the first vendor we found as we planned our wedding! I still remember attending the evening mixer and realizing that we’d found the right DJ/MC!
From the beginning, we appreciated the professionalism and helpfulness of the team at Denon & Doyle. Most notably, we appreciated the help and enthusiasm of Chris. The DJ/MC of a wedding is an integral part of the celebration. Two weeks before our wedding, we attended a wedding as guests and found that Chris was the DJ! It was a great chance to see his style and we knew we were in good hands!
When it was our turn to plan, he was flexible with his schedule and spent a lot of time with my family working out our timeline and making helpful suggestions. The games were a complete success and made our wedding so unique! During our reception Chris helped make us feel comfortable and our bridal party enjoyed his enthusiasm. We created a full timeline with several song requests and Chris helped to capture the best of them. The Italian traditions that we wanted to incorporate were welcomed and Chris helped to incorporate them in an elegant and fun way.
Thank you again for everything! You helped make our dreams a reality and the friendly and helpful way that the Denon & Doyle team, especially Chris, took care of us was superb!

Larry did a great job at our small wedding ceremony and reception. He was professional and definitely read the crowd, which was what we had requested. We were very happy with the service we received from the company and recommend it for any occasion.

We chose Denon & Doyle because of a specific DJ. Sean was the DJ at a friend's wedding and we loved his professionalism, his flexibility, his song choices, and the way he didn't draw any attention to himself. He was just as great at our wedding! We highly recommend him. We also recommend Denon & Doyle as a whole for their quick responses to our calls/emails and their attention to detail. They were very accommodating and professional. Great company to work with!

My husband and I hired Kevin Hartman from Denon and Doyle to DJ our wedding in July and we are so happy that we did. Everyone at Denon and Doyle is very professional and they definitely know what they are doing. We had a few phone calls with Kevin before the wedding, and he really spent time to understand what we wanted. He was great at giving us suggestions on songs and helping us with timeline questions, and we knew we were in good hands.
One the day of the wedding, he did a great job of keeping the night flowing, following the timeline we came up with and keeping everything fun. He kept our guests (including us) dancing all night. We had so much fun at the wedding and it turned out exactly has we wanted, a big, fun party!
We also went to one of Denon and Doyle’s regular DJ showcases before the wedding where they walk you through a whole wedding and give suggestions on how the timeline should go, various songs you can use, etc. The DJ showcase very helpful, and we lucked out that Kevin was the DJ for that event, so we got to see him in action before the wedding.
We found their prices to be very reasonable also.
I’m really glad that we chose to work with Denon and Doyle, and Kevin. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ.

D&D is an awesome and fun company! We are so glad that we chose to book their walk-up photobooth for our wedding. At the time, it was a new machine, but we knew we needed a booth that can take pictures of a bunch of people at time. Our guests had so much fun using it and this includes guests of all ages! It was so simple to use that a bunch of the little kids used it too! Even my 4-year old nephew had pics taken! We loved the ease of the booth since guests just had to select a color, pose then wait 5 seconds for it to print. We used the pictures for the guestbook and loved viewing the pages the day after the wedding. So many people have asked for their information for their events too. If you want to add a fun element to your wedding book the walk-up photobooth, you won't regret it!

I highly recommend Kevin Hartman. He did a fabulous job DJ'ing my wedding.
Kevin did the music for my wedding ceremony and reception. I honestly did not worry about the music all evening. I have a large Indian family that loves to dance. I put in a special request for Indian music during the reception and Kevin did not disappoint. Everyone had a great time at the reception and they are still raving about how fun it was. Thank you, Kevin!

Denon and Doyle were terrific to work with as our wedding DJ. They were always very responsive and professional throughout the wedding planning process. Our DJ, Mark, was great and very helpful as we finalized plans and song choices in the weeks before the wedding. Everything went perfect with sound at the wedding and everyone had a terrific time. Thanks Mark!

One word - Outstanding!
I was a bride who was so busy with work that unfortunately my wedding planning went by the wayside. They were attentive, organized, professional and listened to my fiancee's requests.
Kevin was so easy to work with and kept the right music at the right time! I would hire them again and again for any event.
