Tj was incredible!

Tj was absolutely incredible! Everyone had a blast and the dance floor was everything we ever wanted! The music was perfect and the vibes were high. Preparation before the wedding was so organized and he made sure we had all the right music lined up for every part of the day from the ceremony, through dinner music, and dancing. He catered perfectly to our crowd and the dance floor was packed the entire night. The best dj we’ve experienced!

Best DJ ever!

I cannot say enough great things about DJ Jason! He is AMAZING. He played the best songs and coordinated every aspect of our wedding music perfectly. He was the DJ for my sister’s wedding 6 years ago and since then I knew I needed him for my own! All of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been to and danced the whole entire night! You will not regret using Jason as your wedding DJ!

We’re SO happy we went with Dawson Entertainment for our wedding day. John was so cool and easy to work with as well as a fantastic, talented DJ! He went with the flow of things and created the perfect vibe we were looking for on our special day. Dawson Entertainment framed the lyrics from our first dance as a wedding gift which really meant a lot to Ryan and me and was such a nice personal touch. Also really appreciated the photo booth and the scrapbook they constructed with photos of our guests as a memorabilia. Highly recommend Dawson Entertainment for your big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

If you hire DJ JD and Dawson Entertainment, you will have one of the best DJs in the US. Most DJ companies in Connecticut will not endorse another local DJ because of competition. Not only do we at Kenny Q Productions endorse Dawson Entertainment, We are confident enough to admit that we have learned a lot from Jason Dawson (DJ JD) himself. Jason has visited us on several occasions to help us perfect the technique of mixing various genres of music in a way to keep the energy on a packed dance floor. Jason is a master at this. He is internationally known as one of the best that this country has to offer. As a professional that has been providing DJ entertainment since 1984, I truly believe that you are in good hands when you hire DJ JD and Dawson Entertainment. Sincerely, Kenny Quintero Kenny Q Productions
