We hired Dan Fontanes (Reel2Digital Entertainment) to be our DJ for our wedding this past weekend and he created a dance party exceeding my wildest dreams. (Seriously, the dance floor was full before the sun set and remained that way the entire night.)
One of the reasons we initially hired Dan was because during our interview with him he was honest with us and walked us through the pros and cons of hiring an independent DJ versus a larger company and he seemed like a genuinely good person with integrity who wanted us to make the right decision for us. We also felt like we hit it off with him as he was kind, easy going, and seemed to genuinely enjoy the job.
Throughout the planning process Dan was proactive about planning and making sure the details of our wedding were correct, providing guidance and advice to make the day go more smoothly and that the music choices aligned with our desire for a huge dance party, and he mixed our first dance song to make it shorter but still have a nice flow and gave us the song in advance so we could practice. He always replied to our inquiries in a timely manner and with helpful responses.
On our wedding day Dan was on time and got everything set up, handling our complicated rainy mountaintop ceremony without any hiccups. All of the musical selections were made correctly (including our song requests) and he did an amazing job getting the dance floor full and reading the room to keep it full. He's a genuinely talented DJ, mixing one song into another to keep the crowd energy high, sprinkling in different eras and genres to pull different types of people onto the dance floor.
We got so much feedback from our guests about how great Dan was, how they've never danced so much at a wedding, and how good the music was. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a fun and skilled DJ and wish I had an excuse to hire him again soon!

Dan was effortless to work with, helping me find the perfect songs for each moment of our wedding. When I wanted to do wedding party introductions a little different, Dan said "I'm IN!" and made sure it went off without a hitch. He arrived on time, setting up everything through the brief rainstorm that passed through so we could start on time. Dan was super flexible when our order of events changed up a bit - his ability to go with the flow of the day - and tolerate pesky little brothers - was greatly appreciated. He was extremely professional and his energy level was on point. If you're looking for a DJ that knows how to motivate a crowd and keep the focus on the couple (and not the DJ) Dan is your man!

Daniel was amazing right from the start! We met with him during the summer to start planning the flow of the wedding night. He had so many good suggestions, song lists, and helpful ideas. Communication was really easy and he always replied to emails and phone calls in a timely manner! The music was amazing, and he had all of our guests on the dance floor. He included fun lights on the dance floor to make our New Year's Eve wedding even more festive! Hands down Daniel was awesome!
