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.

We are so glad we used Dawson for our wedding! From start to finish, TJ kept the energy up and made sure the dance floor was packed the entire night. He read the crowd perfectly, mixing in our requests with songs that got everyone out of their seats. Beyond the music, TJ was professional, fun, and such a great presence to have throughout the day/night. He handled announcements seamlessly and kept the timeline flowing without ever feeling rushed. So many of our guests told us it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve been to, and we know a huge part of that was thanks to him. If you want a DJ who truly knows how to make a wedding unforgettable, TJ is the one!

We loved our hire at Dawson Entertainment! We were set up with TJ, who take care in every step of the process in helping us make the musical element of our wedding one of our favorite aspects! Despite the numerous changes we asked for along the way, TJ was very responsive and patient with us. Additionally, on the wedding day, TJ couldn't have been more professional and attentive. We highly recommend Dawson Entertainment for your wedding day!
Thank you!
