    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 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 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 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!!! :)

    Dave was a wealth of knowledge for us! He was not only a great master of ceremony but was a mentor as well in helping us plan the details of our wedding. We definitely recommend his services for your special event. DJ Dave's website is an extremely useful tool in selecting the desired genre and feeling of the songs and playlists. Our dance floor was full the entire night and many guests commented on how wonderful they thought the DJ was!! Bring your dancing shoes!!

    Dave Salonia Productions recently DJ'd my wedding ceremony and reception and did an amazing job. He was patient with me (since I really wasn't to sure what I want) and worked well with the other vendors that I used as well as my family. He knows just about every song out there and if he doesn't he can get it for you (like the song that my now husband requested from animal house that is played by a fake band... which Dave found and played!!) He obviously loves DJing and music in general. He keep everyone dancing for the whole night from my teenage cousins to my 85 year old grandpa!! I would highly recommend him for your next event!

    Dave Salonia is definately a must have!! He provided us with an experience we will never forget.. His professionalism, and knowledge of the music industry is a true testament to his love for music and making your reception the best it can be....we got endless complements of how he kept the dance floor rocking with great music!! We also had a few last minute changes which he accomodated flawlessly........another aspect that dave was great at is we gave him the decision-making on what music to play...we gave ideas about what groups we like and some songs that had to be played but other than that we left it up to him(we are not that muscially inclined), and he did a fantastic job relating what we like to what he played!! We would highly recommend for your wedding!! On a side note get the gobo lighting, it gives your day that special touch!! Thanks for everything dave!!!!!

    Dave was very professional…he kept our guests busy on the dance floor by playing lots of fun, upbeat music. We have had many complements for throwing a great party, many of which were for the great DJ. He asked us what we wanted for our wedding and guided us through the process by giving his input when we needed it. Thanks Dave for making it a great day we will always remember!

    Dave was the DJ at our Wedding on Jan 30, 2010. He was a true professional and a great entertainer. I have recommended him to a number of people that are thinking about marriage. He kept the dance floor rocking and was very interactive with the entire crowd. You know you got a good DJ when everyone continously talks about him. Dave personally made music for us and was very motivated and actively engaged in the pre planning process. I truly recommend him if you want a night full of games, fun and dancing.

    We spoke to several DJs and Dave was the very first DJ that asked us what we wanted from him instead of him telling us how it will be run. We met with him a few times so that he could understand our needs. He was extremely professional during our reception, especially considering the problems our venue was creating. He helped save the day and created a fun atmosphere. He even joined us on the dance floor and led us in a dance! Many of our guests commented on how wonderful he was and what a great time they had!

    Dave Salonia was our DJ for our November 7, 2009 wedding. Dave worked with us to make our wedding reception perfect, and unforgettable! We and ALL our guests had THE TIME OF OUR LIFE. Perfectly said, "if you didn't have a good time at the wedding, it would had been your own fault." The dance floor was never empty throughout the entire reception. Dave did such a fantastic job, and worked with us on the music selections, making our Military Wedding day quite the success, and we planned our wedding in only a month and a half of a time span. We would recommend Dave Salonia for anyone that is planning a wedding or any event for that matter. He is very professional, friendly, and funny, and will really make your event special, and a time you and your guests will remember for a lifetime!

    Dave Salonia is the best DJ! He got all our guest up and dancing the whole evening! Dave was very professional and granted all our music requests. Our families backgrounds are very different and Dave was able to mix latin/spanish songs in with 60's oldies and bigband swing music to make everyone feel confortable. We would recommend Dave to any couple looking for a high energy, professional, fun DJ!

    Dave helped make our reception amazing. Its seemed like our dance floor was never empty. He took the time to help us put together a selection of music that my husband and I enjoy listening to. Everyone told us that they enjoyed our music and you could not help but get up and dance. I would highly recommend Dave, he helped make our day even more memorable. Thank you Dave!

    Dave is a professional DJ and natural entertainer. He has an excellent sense of how the crowd is feeling and keeps the vibe going with his mosic choices. The number of people on a dance floor is a good sign of how well the DJ is performing and our dance floor was literally full all night. Thanks Dave for making our special day even more special and memorable.

    After dancing the night away at a friend's wedding a few years back and having the time of our lives, we knew we had to book Dave Salonia from Powerstation Events. The staff at Powerstation were professional, kind, and quickly responded to any questions. They were the first vendors booked (after the venue of course)- that's how impressed we were. Dave did not disappoint.
    He included all of our songs we requested and got everyone dancing. One of my favorite moments was dancing with my husband under twinkling lights to "She's Like the Wind." My husband and I danced and sang to each other- its was so fun and SO us! That's the thing that felt the best to us- our wedding was US. It wasn't manufactured or predictable. It was goofy, fun and full of love. Dave helped us get that message across with all of the great music! Thank you Dave and Powerstation!

    Atmosphere productions appointed Dave Salonia as our DJ. He was very attentive, easy to work with, and extremely nice. He was willing to work with us to be present as much or as little as we wanted him to. We were allowed to choose as many songs selections as we liked or just give him genres to work with. A few things to note was that towards the end of the night they played more "club remixes" of the songs we suggested and it just a little too much. Overall though, it was a very good experience and would recommend him.
