One thing I appreciate in working with somebody is their organization. Jason shines in this department: he sent us an excel sheet with every possible consideration a couple would want from a DJ! It asked us for must-play songs, songs NOT to play, age range of guests, whether we wanted a slow dance, whether we had a spotify playlist or not, etc. On top of this, Jason was easy to work with over the phone. All this combined to make an unforgettable night of dancing. Jason is clearly skilled at sensing what the crowd is feeling, while also being receptive to in-the-moment feedback. His sound system is great too - I like my parties loud and Jason came through. Something small that may not matter to most but made a big difference to me is that Jason knew exactly when to use his platform. Instead of being the club DJ who says "are we having a good time?!" Jason lets the music do the talking at the reception. And he's quick on his feet too: he responded to a musical cue hinted at by the maid of honor, which got a laugh out of everybody and is a testament to his sharpness.

We elected to go with two additional services offered by Jason which I want to mention here. The club lighting was great in augmenting the vibe of the dance floor. I believe it made it much easier for people to cut loose. The photo booth was also a huge success. Our guests loved it, and the photo book signed by them is lasting evidence of that. It's a great add-on for couples looking to have a unique wedding favor. I do caution that it is is inevitably going to draw some people from the dance floor, so be sure to time it well.

Above all this, there's one thing that sets DJ JD apart for me: he made a custom mix between two songs for my mother-son dance. I gave him a pretty vague request and he came back with a perfectly engineered tearjerker that was exactly what my mother wanted. This level of service is what you can expect from Jason and why you would be lucky to have him play your wedding.

TJ Powers w/ Dawson Entertainment was worth every penny! From the beginning of the planning process, he was easy to communicate with, professional & organized! He is very experienced & it showed in the planning process when we had asked for advice. We loved how organized he was with a spreadsheet of our songs/dances/schedules. He didn't miss a beat! Our dance floor was full all night & we got so many compliments. He wasn't just a plain ol wedding DJ, this guy was mixing music on the spot! He was so great & we have already given his contact info to some of our friends!

Jason is absolutely amazing. He was so organized when we first started working together - he gave us a document he wanted us to fill out that was so incredibly helpful. We actually attended a wedding where Jason was the DJ about two months before our own wedding. We had a fantastic time at both weddings, yet they were different from each other. Jason's ability to adapt to what the bride and groom want really makes it so special and unique. We received so many compliments on our choice of DJ. Our friends are still saying great things weeks later. We also had Dawson Entertainment do our lighting, and it was so beautiful. I highly recommend Jason and Dawson Entertainment for any sort of even you may have!
