Dawson Entertainment Production, LLC

Q: What do you wear?

We wear a classic black suit and tie with a white or grey button-up shirt.

Q: Do you take music requests?

It's never a bad thing to listen to guest request, but we do use our best judgment to decide if we actually play a request or not, based on our past experience playing the song and our conversations with you, the couple hosting the event. Even if a song request will not quite fit the vibe of the event, it may guide us to play something similar that would work for the dance floor.

Q: Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are happy to provide proof of insurance if you or your venue request it.

Q: How early do you come to set up?

We arrive 1.5-2 hours before our start time for set up. We like to give plenty of time so we don't have to rush.

Q: Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Yes, we can provide full Uplighting, Pin Spots, Monograms, Marquee Letters and Mirror Photo Booth!

Q: What are your sales taxes?

All taxes are included in the price.

Q: What is your travel and break down fee?

We do not charge for setup or break down. We only charge from the time we start playing music at the beginning of the event until we stop playing music at the end of the event. Our travel radius is 2 hours from Griswold, CT. Anything beyond that would require a travel fee and/or hotel accommodations.

Q: What is your style?

First and foremost, we’re lovers of music and we started DJing to share that love with the world. We come from a nightclub background with a focus on playing music that makes people dance! We use our smooth nightclub mixing and blending techniques to make every transition between songs smooth, seamless and interesting to keep the energy up so there is always a fun vibe on the dance floor.

Jason was an amazing DJ and we would work with him again! He did the music for our wedding and the sound system for our ceremony. He was very organized, professional, skilled, and easygoing. He was poised and classy throughout the wedding, and was great at gauging the vibe/adjusting the music accordingly. He followed our recommendations exactly. Our guests were really impressed and so were we! We strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a classy, professional, but warm and kind DJ!
Highly Recommend !!

My husband and I got married on 9/21/25 and we used Dawson Entertainment for our DJ and we used their photobooth and everything was pure magic! TJ the DJ was phenomenal from all the pre wedding phone calls and coordination to keeping the dance floor ALIVE all night long! We didn’t want to go home! He beautifully mixed different cultures together (I’m half Indian and my husband is Puerto Rican) so everyone was dancing their butts off! Thank you so much Dawson Entertainment and TJ!
Perfection!

We had a great experience working with Jason! He absolutely exceeded my expectations and was the best DJ I have experienced at any wedding! If you are worried about picking a DJ look no further and choose him! His team is very professional and responsive to any question we had. Highly recommend!

My husband and I got married in June of this year at Eolia mansion and were lucky enough to work with Dawson Entrainment. Jason did an incredible job all throughout the night. He seamlessly shared music that different generations of family and friends were all able to enjoy and dance the night away to. We could not recommend Dawson Entertainment enough to those looking for a talented and fun DJ for their wedding!
