If you want a great emcee & people on the dance floor - dcp for the win!

I had several DJ meetings because I love to the dance and wanted to make sure I hired a DJ that would match my energy and vibe and get people on the dance floor! After my first meeting with David I knew they would be the people I want! Then we had our meeting with Parker Chase and it was the absolute perfect fit and he absolutely killed it! He was attentive to the timeline, made sure everyone knew if they were next on the mic, and got people out on the dance floor! The energy and the vibe were so great! All my family and friends weeks later are still talking about how much they danced and had fun (even the ones who don’t dance did ha)! Can’t thank them enough for everything they did and how seamless it all was! Delivered with confidence! 1000/10 stars! Just some awesome highlight photos of the fun!

Must book!

When people asked me what my biggest fear was for our wedding, I always said that I was scared people wouldn't have fun, and I am so happy to report that literally every single person had such a great time and that is thanks to David Charles Productions!

The music was bumpin' and the vibe that Joey (our assigned DJ) brought really ignited everyone else to try and have as much fun as he was! Throughout this entire process, I loved working with everyone at your company and felt so welcome and supported! We went to a wedding last weekend, that used a different DJ company and the difference in sound quality between what we heard on our wedding day compared to this other company was astounding!

AND having a quality videographer as part of the team through DCP was amazing! Marco was phenomenal to work with on the day of the wedding! He was knowledgeable, kind, and worked SO well with our photographer! I think I've watched our teaser like over 100 times at this point!

Our wedding was in the Fox Valley area and working with a Milwaukee based company was easy breezy! I'd highly recommend DCP over any of the local Valley DJs!

The only correct DJ choice for a perfect wedding.

Parker was amazing and one of the highlights of our wedding. The music was perfect, exactly what we wanted. Parker met with us twice to make sure he had all the details. He provided us resources to manage and develop our music and timeline for every stage of the wedding. His energy and vibe was perfect - people loved him. His team did a great job. The photobooth was great - had props, was easy to use, provided printouts and we got all the digital copies. I can't express how happy we were to have Parker and his team through DC Productions support our wedding. Every detail was amazing. He was even able to make a very obscure aisle walk song come to life, no problem. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Prices match quality and experience. Food, Drinks, and Music are the big three you don't want to hold back on. He helped make our wedding magical. We can't thank Parker and his team enough.

12/14/24 Wedding

We got married on 12/14/24 and DCP was incredible from beginning to end! They are friendly, responsive, customer service oriented, and thorough. We had Joey DJ our wedding and he was AWESOME! I couldn't recommend DCP enough to anyone needing someone to work with for their wedding.

Overall a great addition to your wedding day!

We highly recommend David Charles Productions for so many wedding needs including DJ, Videographer, and lighting who we used for our wedding on October 18, 2024. DCP truly works seamless with our wedding venue, The Pfister. They have so much experience there and knew exactly what lighting to recommend for our room. We received soooo many compliments on the lighting in our reception.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Parker was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. From our initial consultation, he took the time to understand our musical tastes and what we envisioned for our big day. He kept the energy high throughout the evening, perfectly blending our playlist with classic wedding hits. The dance floor was truly packed all night!
Not only did Parker provide fantastic music, but he also did an amazing job as the emcee, guiding us through all the important moments and keeping everything on schedule while also still respecting our individual timelines. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had!

We also recommend Marco, our videographer, who was professional, unobtrusive, and made us feel completely at ease. He captured not only the big moments but also all the little details and emotions that made our day unique. He also worked very well with our photographer.

We were able to meet with Parker and Marco before our big day and go over the wedding day schedule which made us feel even more at ease and like they truly cared about understanding our day and vision. Also using DCP for video and DJ worked seamlessly for our speeches allowing the audio to be captured without issue.

If you’re looking to work with a vendor who is professional, fun, and genuinely invested in making your wedding unforgettable, we highly recommend DCP.

Awesome production company!

Parker and his team absolutely nailed it! He was very organized leading up to the wedding. We had a couple of meetings before the wedding to go over details and he thought of everything. He helped me on the day of to keep the night on schedule and made all the appropriate announcements for guests. I asked him to do some "mashups" between songs and he absolutely KILLED IT. All of the guests, my husband and I were all just blown away.

DJ and Videography

We booked DCP for both videography & DJ services! Joe for videography: We loved Joe! He did amazing. He was assigned to us about a month before the wedding. We had a video meeting with him a few weeks before and just ran with it! He was very friendly to work with. The best part is we received our 5 minute video in 1.5 weeks!!! Max for DJ: Max did GREAT! We had several meetings with DCP staff leading up to our assignment to Max and they were so organized with a very detailed itinerary for us to work off. They also provided tons of suggestions for certain music areas which was very helpful for our indecisive selves. Day of Max brought the energy and fantastic music (we gave him a very small must play list and trusted him to do the rest) and our dance floor was packed the entire night! Highly recommend DCP & make sure you get Max! You won’t be disappointed.

100/10 Recommend

David Charles Productions came highly recommended by a friend who had used them as a vendor, and I’m so glad we chose them as our DJ too! Parker, our DJ, was one of the major highlights of our wedding—the music was phenomenal, and the dance floor stayed busy with a perfect mix of songs that appealed to all our guests. Parker and his DCP assistant were great at reading the crowd and keeping everyone dancing and having fun. Parker's energy was contagious and he made the reception a blast from start to finish. If you want your wedding to be a party everyone will remember, David Charles Productions is the way to go!

Greatest DJ service in the state!

DCP was responsive from the moment we wanted to meet with them all the way through the wedding and reception. They were quick to understand what the vibe was we wanted for every step of our day. I told them for the reception to go off the vibe of the crowd and they did just that. The dance floor was FULL all night long! We also got a monogram for the dance floor as well as behind the head table for us through DCP and both turned out FABULOUS!

We did cold sparks for our grand entrance which we kept a secret and the guests were surprised by it and it definitely enhanced our entrance.

We also booked the 360 photo booth through them and our guests loved it! They thought it was such a cool idea and loved that they got a video sent to their phone right after they were done.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
