    DHP is the best way to go!

    Music was the most important part of our reception. We knew we needed to go with DHP, and they didn’t disappoint. We were able to choose from some of their best DJs, and we chose Drea. We really appreciated her diverse music knowledge, and the fact that she was originally classically trained. Honestly, they're all amazing-she’s a badass. We video chatted with Drea a few days before our event, and explained the vibe we were going for. She truly listened! She put together a perfect playlist. Everyone is still talking about our progressive house wedding party, and how they danced all night!

    The best vibes, perfect night with amazing music!

    From the planning process to the wedding day, our experience with Desert House was amazing!! Our DJ, Alex, was so fun to work with & truly is so talented! During the planning meeting, we were talking about the vibes we wanted at each time in the night & on the day of it was even better than we could have imagined!! During the reception, everyone was asking us who the DJ was and telling us how great he was. Everyone of all ages were on the dance floor till the very last song, it was the best party we didn't want to end!! I could not recommend Desert house enough for your wedding dj!!

    Perfect Wedding DJ

    We had a great experience with Desert House Productions and Anthony as our DJ. He was able to take our music preferences and extrapolate, expand, and remix them and we had so many people on the dancefloor for the entire wedding (we ourselves never actually left it!). Highly recommended - a good DJ is key to a great wedding.

    Wish The Party Didn't Stop

    I can't speak highly enough of Desert House Productions and our DJ Anthony. From the start of the initial call, they made everything seamless and stress free. Once we got connected with our DJ, Anthony, we couldn't wait for our wedding date to finally be here because we knew we were going to have a great reception. The day of the wedding Anthony went above and beyond from setting the sentimental tone of the ceremony to getting the party going at our reception. Once the party started we could not get any of our guests off of the dance floor, so much so we extended the wedding reception an extra hour, mid wedding. I highly recommend Desert House Productions, you won't be disappointed.

    Look no further!!

    "Who was the DJ?" - Was the question we were asked most the day after the wedding. The dance floor was filled the entire night with tons of energy. Everyone from my 3 year old cousin to 91 year old grand father brought their best on the floor. Dave met us twice over FaceTime to get to know us, hear our story, and learn our taste in music. He was able to combine EDM, Persian music, Soca music, along with all-time classics all into a party of a lifetime. From the amazing music selection to the sound system and lighting, he truly created a magical experience from the ceremony all the way to the reception.

    Had a blast with Desert House

    We had the pleasure of having Desert House, specifically Anthony Hart, as our wedding DJ. He stuck with us through having to postpone our wedding from May 2020 to December 2021 and we can't thank him enough for that! Anthony is super easy to work with and very chill. He understood what we were looking for (we're fans of EDM/dance music) and incorporated our music tastes with more mainstream wedding music. We had included Mr. Brightside on our to-play list and it was a surprise hit with everyone on the dance floor. We appreciate Anthony for helping make our wedding memorable and fun!

    The best you can get!

    Working with Desert House was a dream from start to finish. Drea is so talented and approachable, and will curate with professionalism and style for whatever vibe you’re seeking. She was also an amazing MC for the entire wedding, in addition to the amazing musical stylings. I cannot recommend this duo enough! THANK YOU DREA!

    Wouldn't choose another DJ for our wedding!

    From the very first zoom visit I knew Desert House Productions (and specifically Dave) was the hands down choice for our wedding DJ. I felt a connection right away as we discussed our preferred music choices and the planned set up for the dance floor including lighting. Rather than give him a specific playlist, all we wanted was to provide a framework and let Dave do his thing. From there we didn't have to worry about a thing. The song selection, flow, lighting, and everything in between was spot on and all of our guests had an absolute blast. Big thanks to Dave for providing us with an incredible time that we will forever remember.

    Amazing DJ

    Dave was incredible. My husband and I have lived in Austin for 10+ years and music is a huge part of our lives. Dave personalized our playlists to our specific taste in music and it really up-leveled our event. 10/10 would recommend :)

    A True Artist

    Wow. There are no words to convey how grateful we are that we got to work with DJ Dave Strickler for our wedding, and no words to describe how perfectly he shaped our day with his musical talent. Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding for us and before we knew about Dave, we met with a couple of other DJs during our search, and they quite frankly left a lot to be desired. I was feeling pretty hopeless, but then in walks Dave Strickler with Desert House Productions. After one conversation with Dave, we knew that we wanted to work with him, and that we would be in good hands. We just didn't know exactly how good of hands we'd be in-- Dave left us absolutely speechless. He knows music so well. He was able to get a feel for our tastes and run with it, and he nailed it. On top of managing all of the logistics so seamlessly, Dave is a true artist and created the perfect vibes for our entire day. From our ceremony into our cocktail hour, through dinner and straight into one of the best dance parties we've ever had. Dave's expertise fed into the emotions of the day, and largely to this being one of the best days we've ever had. And not only is he an incredible artist, he is also an awesome person. We left our experience not only feeling like we had found a master of the art, but also like we had found a new friend in Arizona. We can't recommend Desert House Productions highly enough.

    Best Dance Party EVER!

    Desert House Productions was an absolute dream to work with! Drea made everything so easy and fun by taking the time to understand what I was looking for in terms of wedding music and truly delivery on creating that exact experience and then some. After rescheduling our wedding 3 times due to COVID, my husband, our guests, and I were looking for a major dance party, so the music was super important to us. Drea truly took this to heart and made our wedding an absolutely unforgettable experience. I could not recommend Desert House Productions more!

    Great Experience

    We had Alex perform for our wedding and it was exactly what my wife and I wanted. We leaned on him to read the crowd and play the correct music and he nailed it. He brought lively energy and that rubbed off on the guests. Really happy with my experience and I would hire him again!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We had our wedding a few weeks back now and were paired with Alex. He did an absolutely amazing job. Was very professional and skilled and mixed our tough song selection together seamlessly. He had the dance floor packed for the entire 2 1/2 hours which goes to show just how good he really is. Would highly recommend Desert House as well as Alex to anybody looking!

    Bst dj ever!

    We hired Alex and Desert House Productions for our 12/29/19 wedding and I don't even know where to begin with how special he made our day! We had about 3 sessions together before the wedding where we discussed what we wanted, what we didn't, all about my husband and I, our styles, and the timeline of the day. Everything went SEAMLESS! He played so many of our favorite songs, and we requested that none of our guests can do song requests so that he can feel out the crowd and he did an incredible job. I couldn't have been more confident in our decision to hire DHP and Alex! The music was on point and never felt dull (plus, he played spontaneous and off the wall songs that got EVERYONE dancing!!) We are so grateful for all that you did for our wedding, we can't recommend you all enough!!

    DJ Crushed It

    Was referred to Desert House Productions through our planner, Cara, from A Day to Cherish Weddings.Music was a top priority for my now husband and I, and DJ Dave crushed it. We knew we didn’t want a run-of- the-mill or “cheesy” DJ for our wedding, and are so thankful Cara helped us find Desert House Productions. We also like a very wide range of music, are a bit on the picky side, and discussed everything in detail with DJ Dave over a skype session. He was able to cut the music for me for the Father- Daughter dance perfectly, and provided guidance and song suggestions for David and I when we had no idea what to choose. On the day of, he MC’ed like the pro he is, and delivered a mix and flow that kept everyone, young and old, dancing throughout the evening. Loved and appreciated the mashups and remixes! We really appreciate the talent he has as a DJ and also how he was able to work a diverse crowd dance party. The whole package for us with this vendor. Highly recommend.

    Highly Recommended

    We had the pleasure to have Anthony DJ our wedding day and he did an awesome job! While we originally had our reservations with spending money on a DJ, ultimately this was such a great decision. As a couple, we had quite a particular list of songs and genres to play which Anthony was both flexible and helpful with curating the set played. He did an excellent job with mixing our selection that our dance floor was busy all night long and so many quests commented on how great the music was!

    Phenomenal experience

    Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Desert House Productions and DJ Anthony Hart. The Desert House team were a joy to work with leading up to the wedding and really helped to make our wedding feel both personal and fun! Anthony has the unique ability to both stay true to our wishes and to read and respond to a crowd of all ages and backgrounds. His playlist was flawless from start to finish and he kept our guests dancing until the very end. In fact, we heard from several guests that they are still sore from all of the dancing -- many days later! We wholeheartedly recommend Desert House for any occasion.

    High Praise for Alex

    We decided to use DHP after hearing rave reviews from so many others- they couldn't have been more correct. Alex was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely spectacular. Even my brother-in-law (a music production buff and one who is not big on compliments) sang his praises for Alex's skill. Alex incorporated every kind of music we wanted and was incredibly responsive and receptive to our ideas and overall "audible vision" for our big day. My only regret of our wedding was not spending more time on the dance floor. You cannot go wrong with DHP, they are the best in the business!

    Best choice I could have made

    Dave was phenomenal. Not only was he an absolute delight to work with but in the day of he killed it! He included the songs I mentioned and kept everyone on the dance floor. When I was working with him he really made me feel at ease about the whole process. Top notch

    Alex for mayor of the dance floooor!

    I can't even begin to thank Alex enough for DJ'ing our wedding last week -- it was truly amazing. Alex spent time with us on the phone prior to the wedding and did an excellent job in curating the perfect playlist for dinner and dancing based on our personal preferences. From the very start the dance floor was packed and stayed that way throughout the entire night. Song selection was top notch (no cheesy line or group dances) and the energy was as high as could be. We received so many compliments from friends and family that night and the next day (and days following) -- everyone had a blast and we have Alex to thank for that! I would recommend DHP and Alex 1000x over :)

    You need to hire Drea!

    We hired Drea to DJ our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We wanted our wedding to be a night that our guests would remember and knew we needed a DJ that would make it happen for us. She listened to what we wanted and played the songs we requested while also using her expertise to make sure everyone was having a good time, our older family members included! SO many guests told us the music at our wedding was the best they've heard and so many told us it was the most fun wedding they've been to, and it was because Drea kept the party going and everyone on the dance floor! We had the best night ever and I can't recommend Desert House Productions, and specifically Drea, enough!

    Desert House Every Time!

    Dave was tremendous. He not only rocked the entire night but was a breeze to work through the entire process. He asked great questions gauging the genres of music we enjoyed and incorporated everything into the music. Very helpful insights. His equipment brought the music and vibe to the evening. Dance floor was packed from the beginning all the way until the lights turned on. No doubt here recommending Dave and Desert House.

    The Best in AZ!

    We could not have asked for a better team than Dave and DH productions. Not only was the music amazing all night long, our guests loved the vibe that Dave brought to our wedding ceremony and reception. Having a destination wedding in Scottsdale from Seattle was stressful but Dave was able to meet with us through video chat and was very responsive by email. Our dancefloor stayed packed the whole evening and he announced events throughout the night as they occurred. The sound, equipment, lights, were amazing. You won't regret hiring Dave and his team! Thanks DH productions for being apart of our wedding day!

    Total Dance Party!!

    Drea

    Desert house productions was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We had a destination wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona and we were given Desert House Productions as a preferred vendor. Who wants the stress of picking out every song for your wedding when you can have Drea take the wheel and dj the best party of your life. If you are looking for a fun dance party vibe with perfect song transitions and great timing and coordination look no further. After filling out a music survey about what we like and don’t like, and picking out a few special songs we had a facetime call with Drea and she put all our stress and worries to bed with her profesional and charming personality. We could tell right away that Drea was on top of her game and was going to be an integral part of our special day. She was especially detail oriented, flexible and made communication about what kind of party we wanted super easy. She also helped our officiant during the ceremony with the microphone when the weather picked up and got a bit windy for our outdoor ceremony. When the dancing and party kicked into gear she did a fantastic job at reading the room and the dance floor and keeping the energy high all night long. You can tell that she was a successful professional DJ with her transitions between songs and her ability to seamlessly move from high energy songs to father daughter slow songs and everything in between. We would highly recommend Desert house productions for your special event, especially Drea. Not to mention she was pregnant during our wedding and absolutely crushed it. Thanks Drea!!!
