I can't speak highly enough of Daniel. I had a number of elderly guests at my wedding and lots of family from out of town; I asked Daniel if he wouldn't mind keeping the volume down to a reasonable level during dinner so everyone could chat and catch up. Not only did he indulge my request, but he mingled with the guest to make sure they were comfortable and took song requests. Additionally, we had a death in the immediate family and Daniel was so great about rearranging some parts of our reception to accommodate us. Daniel is the best - literally.

Lighthouse Entertainment was amazing when it came to providing the DJ services for our wedding. I loved the professionalism and fun that they provided. Many people came up to me and told me how much they enjoyed the DJ. They made sure to know all the details and were very helpful on lining things up. It was an excellent experience and well worth the investment. Highly recommend. Thanks Lighthouse Entertainment!

Daniel from Lighthouse entertainment made our wedding infinitely easier and so FUN! His professionalism and years of experience were beyond what we expected! On our wedding day we had the perfect play list, our dance floor was packed, and Daniel made sure everything ran smoothly! He adjusted as changes were made and was interactive with our guests! I cannot recommend him more to other brides- he even helped us plan the order of our reception!!

I am a harpist. I had the pleasure of working a wedding at a hotel in Santa Fe with Lighthouse Entertainment a few weeks ago. The DJ was very professional, friendly, and polite. The cocktail hour, which was planned to be outdoors, had to be moved inside because of rain. So, the DJ had to sit at his table the entire cocktail hour while I played. He gave me a wonderful introduction, which is something I normally do not receive. I was thrilled. He and his staff were really super! Your wedding or party will only be enhanced by hiring Lighthouse Entertainment.

Dan Dawes and Lighthouse Entertainment are the cream of the crop when it comes to DJ's and event services! I have worked with Dan on MANY events for MANY years and he is one of the most experienced DJ's available. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. In this business, you often get many people thinking that to be a DJ, they just have to hook up an iPod and click tracks into a speaker system. Dan could not be more of an exception! He is wonderful. He understands that DJ's don't just need to understand the music. They also need to... -Understand how to fill the dance floor -Be able to feel the energy of a crowd. -Manage timelines. -Ensure the day runs smoothly. -Maintain a music library large enough to cater to requests of guest as well as clients. -Know which songs are appropriate and which ones are not. -Be able to facilitate smooth transitions between the grand entrance, to the dances, to the dinner hour and beyond. -Cater to the "energy" of a crowd. Dan is one in a million and I couldn't recommend him highly enough! You can't go wrong with Lighthouse Entertainment!
