This wedding planner loves Chad and Gretchen!

As a wedding planner, I've worked with a lot of DJs and photo booth operators. The dynamic duo of Chad and Gretchen are hard to beat. While both are excellent on their own, I highly recommend hiring both (Chad as DJ, Gretchen as photo booth). They bring a positive, generous energy to any event they work -- not to mention loads of professional expertise and equipment!

A magnificent night. Chad and Gretchen were perfect

We hired Chad and Gretchen for our 25th anniversary party. Communication was easy. Chad was flexible even with last minute changes. Music selection was right on point. Sound and mics worked smoothly and we got amazing pictures from the photo booth. Everyone had a great time.

Highly recommend!

My husband was the last of his three siblings to get married and all three of them have had Chad as their wedding DJ going back ten years! After working with him for our wedding it is clear why. He is a true professional who clearly loves what he does. He made our night so fun. He was great as an MC as well as DJ during the dancing. I highly recommend using Chad Dowling Productions.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
