We chose Dave based on the video we were shown at our first appointment. He as both fun and engaging. We met with Dave twice before the ceremony, though that is unusual (as one meeting is usually sufficient), and he was gracious enough to accommodate my husband's need to review things multiple times! :) He worked from our list and allowed for requests during the reception, but did so in a way that kept the dance floor hopping. He was super fun without being over-the-top, the guests loved him, and we couldn't have been happier with the way the night went!

Dave Salonia was the DJ for our wedding. We came to him with high expectations, and he absolutely delivered! From our first meeting, Dave made suggestions that helped keep us on track, and got the party going right. By the end of the night not one person was in their seat. As a nice touch, Dave added a CD with some of the highlight songs from the night, first dances, entrance songs. and last song choice. We would highly recommend Dave for any event.

Dave did an outstanding job as a DJ for our wedding on 10/11/15, and I just don't have enough good things to say about his work. It's really amazing. Working with him to lay out the ceremony music was very straightforward and stress free, and he made sure on the spot that he had exactly the right versions of the songs we'd picked and in exactly the right order. We went a little overboard on picking songs for the reception and gave him a lengthy spreadsheet of ideas but he did an absolutely fantastic job of picking the best of the bunch and blending them all together. My wife and I have pretty different tastes in music but he was easily able to balance both of our likes throughout the evening! He's got a great voice for all the DJ announcements and gets even tricky names right. He's organized and very calm and helpful when dealing with a frazzled wedding party during the evening, and his ability to get people on to the dance floor is absolutely beyond anything I've ever experienced - the dancing just never slowed down once it got rolling. We received tons of compliments from guests on our music and although we gave him the raw material to work with, it was really his talents that made the party awesome. Very highly recommended.

Dave was the DJ for our 05/02/2015 wedding. He was phenomenal! Through the planning process he was friendly, responded quickly to emails and attentive. When we met him he was easygoing but professional. We felt comfortable with him immediately and he followed our music list but also recommended some great songs. I was late to my ceremony because of hair and makeup delays which shortened our reception. Dave was amazing at picking the right songs to get people on the dance floor from the song list we gave him. He even got out on the floor to show people how to do the participation dances! He was all around a great DJ and we are so glad he helped make our day even more special.

Dave was absolutely the best choice we could have ever made. We got married 10-11-14. He was professional, high energy, accomidating, and all around amazing! He had all of our guests saying how awesome our DJ was and they danced all night. Dave was very easy to talk to and is all about making your special day perfection. I would not have changed anything!

We chose Dave Salonia Productions to play at our wedding after attending a wedding that he MCed. I knew instantly that we had to have him too.

Dave was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and flexible throughout the entire process. At the wedding, he kept everyone on the dance floor and played the perfect assortment of music to keep all age ranges happy; he really created a fun wedding environment! We are still getting comments from our guests about how good our DJ and MC were. We couldn't be happier.

I recommend Dave to all of my friends and family.

We are so happy we went with Dave Salonia Productions for our DJ at our daughter's wedding! He is a wonderful Master of Ceremonies with so much enthusiasm and professionalism, highly attentive to our questions and concerns, and above all, he can really get a crowd dancing and having a fantastic time. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had at the reception, how they have never enjoyed a wedding as much as ours! Dave clearly has so much fun being an MC; he gets out on the dance floor to teach the guests the dances and dances right along with them! He ran a fun-filled dollar game where we raffled off the centerpieces. He ran a well-organized and constantly entertaining series of activities (first dance, parent-bride/groom dances, cutting of the cake, etc.) to keep the guests engaged and entertained the whole evening. What a wonderful evening....thanks to Dave's personality and planning. He clearly loves what he does and does it enthusiastically!

We had MANY options for possible DJ's but as soon as we met Dave we KNEW it had to be Dave!
Dave has a classic and original style about him. He guided us on which songs to put where and up'ed the ante on songs we love..it seems like he found ones that we loved even more then the ones we came to him with! He was GREAT to work with on putting the list together, and EVEN BETTER on our wedding day. He moved everything and everyone along in a most perfectly natural way! He literally had every single person at our wedding on the dance floor at one time or another...or at the same time! His introductions were clear, articulate, accurate, and praiseworthy. We just loved Dave and would use him again handsdown for any future event/party. Thank you Dave!

Dave- You made our wedding and our wedding reception amazing!!! I can't thank you enough. It was perfect! The music selection for the ceremony was perfect.

Now as for the wedding reception, you kept the party going all night. People were dancing before dinner, during dinner, and into their bedrooms! Everyone I have spoken with has told me they had a wonderful time and the music was a perfect mix. You made the whole evening enjoyable for all the age groups (20 to 90 year old guests), not to mention the quality of the sound of your equipment.

All of our friends are still talking about what a great time they had, and how amazing you were! Christine and I have been to a bunch of wedding receptions and this one just felt like no other, as far as people actually getting out and having a good time and that credit definitely goes to you. You definitely rocked the party like know one else can!!

We appreciate all that you did to make our wedding perfect, thanks again for all of your help and for making our wedding so special! P.S. Thanks for going above and beyond to find songs that we wanted that were not even on i-tune's. I will say it again you were amazing! Honestly we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you were absolutely wonderful! Thank you. We would love to give a reference for you anytime.

Thanks,
Paul and Christine

We really wanted our wedding to be fun and memorable- and the DJ is really the guy that either makes it, or breaks it. Dave Salonia had our guests dancing on the dance floor all night long. Family and friends still talk about what a great time they had. Most importantly my husband and I had a blast at our wedding as well. We owe that most in part to Dave. He listened to what we wanted and he surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend Dave Salonia as a DJ.

Thanks Dave for the wonderful memories!!! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
