  Such a good time!

  DJ Donovan has years of experience, is a great person to work with and talk to and played the best mix of music to keep everyone on the dance floor all night! He was able to provide music in 3 different locations around the venue all while having to figure his own Wi-Fi since the venues’s didn’t reach where our wedding was held. He made sure to pronounce any announced names correctly, I could go on and on! From start to finish, he set the mood we wanted for our wedding and wouldn’t recommend anyone else but DJ Donovan!

  Best in the business!

  Talk about an amazing DJ! Donovan was truly an icon to our special day. Months later, people still talk to use about our DJ and how amazing he was. DJ Donovan was punctual, professional, and extremely experienced in what he does. He provided sound for our ceremony that was in a different location than our reception. I cannot recommend him enough, if you need a DJ, book Donovan!!!

  Fantastic DJ

  Can't recommend this guy enough! Had a last minute request to get him to be our DJ, and he pulled through very quickly and professionally. He adjusted to our small wedding and played everything we wanted while filling in wherever necessary. Heard from many of our guests how great he was as well!

  A Wonderful Experience!

  My husband and I were married in July of 2016. We can not speak highly enough of Donovan who was our DJ from Phantom Shadow. He was professional when meeting with us prior to our wedding day and he did a great job the day of our wedding!

  Amazing as all ways

  I have know Donovan for a very long time! He DJd all of our high school danced and I played softball with his daughter for years. I reached out to him knowing he would be the best person to DJ my wedding and he did not disappoint. His personality makes the experience that much more fun. We truly could not have asked for anyone more perfect!

  So glad we found him as he is wonderful. He tailored his playlist to coincide with our "Rockin the 50's" theme.

  Fantastic!!

  Donovan was absolutely the best DJ we could have asked for. Not only did he make our day fun, enjoyable, and seamless for us as well as our guests, he calmed this nervous bride’s nerves on several occasions. A true professional. Thank you so much Donovan, I sincerely was so thankful you were there for our big day.

  So Accomodating!

  We were thrilled to find DJ Donovan. He was able to arrange a DJ for us less than 7 days from our wedding. He was thorough, professional and communicative leading up to the event. They arrived early and and accommodated all our requests and guest. We were so happy to find them!

  Wonderful experience!

  I can't say enough wonderful things about this DJ. I was in a desperate situation trying to find a DJ in a week and half! The process was effortless as I received prompt replies to email, text and telephone calls. DJ Donovan was courteous and respectful and the DJ of the day, Mike, was absolutely wonderful, doing anything, including flip flopping items in the timeline to accommodate problems with meal. I'm so thankful that they were the entertainment for my son's wedding.

  Beach wedding

  We had two different set ups at our wedding, one on the beach for the ceremony and one for our reception. Both were amazing! I was worried people wouldn’t be able to hear our ceremony, but everyone could be heard, even above the waves! The ceremony was wonderful and everyone danced the entire night!

  Everything we envisioned in our dj and more!

  Dj Donovan or as my guests were calling him “Dj big don” did an excellent job at our wedding. He took everything we asked in to consideration and went above and beyond. He managed to have the perfect balance of interaction with us and our guests. He was a key to helping our night transition smoothly and we will definitely be using him again should we need a Dj. Highly recommend.

  Head & Shoulders Above

  The wedding of our daughter was one of the most important events of our lives. I've known Phantom DJ's since the 80's when they started. Nobody does a better job. We've used them at work and I will recommend them to everybody.

  Keeping it at 100%

  Loved it. We had to get a DJ for a wedding, right? My husband and I aren't much dancers, and turns out our guests weren't too. I really *really* appreciated Donovan DJ'ing for an empty dance floor and keeping it 100% professional. He had the exact music I wanted, too. Thanks a lot for the great work!

  Excellent Wedding DJ

  Donovan was the DJ for my wedding a few years ago. He worked with us to get up a playlist and preferences ahead of time, was very responsive to questions, and did a fantastic job. Would recommend.

  Wouldn’t have anyone else!

  DJ Donovan provides excellent services for both of my children’s weddings. He actually provided music for the actual wedding and reception music for both. He accommodated each of their styles and requests from attendees - including the “hot dog” Mickey Mouse song for the flower girl. He’s professional, flexible, and sensitive to his clientele’s needs!

  Simply The BEST!

  Donovan is the perfect DJ tailoring the reception to the desires of the couple. I hired him for my daughter & son in law's reception and needed to handle a lot of the details without their input as they were in another country. Donovan had great suggestions and ideas to guide me to exactly what made a perfect evening for them. He made the evening special for them and the guests. Perfect music, atmosphere, host, and all the while keeping it great fun and reading the room just right. He also was DJ for my other daughter at her reception that had a completely different atmosphere and offered the perfect enhancements for her reception that made it truly beautiful and memorable. He has set the standard for many other DJs and taught them how to do the job the right way. But he is a standout and flawless. With this great experience, creativity, options and personality, he is Simply The BEST!

  Donovan is the perfect DJ tailoring the reception to the desires of the couple. I hired him for my daughter & son in law's reception and needed to handle a lot of the details without their input as they were in another country. Donovan had great suggestions and ideas to guide me to exactly what made a perfect evening for them. He made the evening special for them and the guests. Perfect music, atmosphere, host, and all the while keeping it great fun and reading the room just right.
