    If you are looking for a wedding entertainment that will keep your guests engage from ceremony to the end of the night, Northeast Event Design is incredible.

    I was very hesitant to make this a larger part of my budget, but having a very DIY venue I felt it was necessary, and it really tied everything together. I didn't have to worry that anything wasn't going to be taken care of with Northeast there, I would highly recommend.

    Furthermore, with Danny specifically you are getting someone who truly listens, is responsive and goes completely above and beyond.

    Greg was absolutely wonderful! We had a very diverse crowd and he read them so well! Almost everyone was up and dancing! And so many people came to tell us how much fun they were having which was all thanks to Greg giving such a great atmosphere with the music! He also did amazingly with making sure everything went on cue without a hitch - he had the whole schedule and announced everything perfectly! He offers so much personalization! I highly recommend him for a future bride and groom or for whatever your DJ needs are!

    For a successful wedding day I cannot stress the importance of a phenomenal DJ/Emcee, and Dan from Northeast Event Design was just that! He was in contact with us throughout our planning process, responded to emails in a timely manner, and met with us prior to our event to walk through our entire timeline. Although our venue came with a day of coordinator, it was Dan who oversaw the entire day and made our wedding run smoothly. He worked seamlessly with our vendors, checked in on us throughout the event, and honored many of our guests late night dance requests! If you are looking for an "all in one" DJ and Emcee to make your event one to remember for both you and your guests, Northeast Event Design is the way to go. I would highly recommend Dan as he took the responsibility of our most important day incredibly seriously and delivered ten fold!

    Exceeded Our High Expectations

    I cannot express how highly I recommend the DJ services of Northeast Event Design. Having great music on our wedding day was a very high priority for my bride and I. After attending MANY weddings over the years we understand how important it is to have a skilled DJ. We had an initial meeting with Danny to discuss our vision and multiple check-ins over the months leading up to our wedding to make sure all the details were perfectly planned. He listened to everything we wanted he was extremely thorough and also treated us like we had been friends for years. When our wedding day arrived we were completely at ease knowing that Danny had us covered. His attention to detail was impeccable and exceeded our already high expectations. We also received a ton of positive feedback from our guests. Worth every penny.

    Worth every penny! We had the pleasure of working with DJ Danny! We booked him for our wedding in June and he was amazing. He was present but not annoying, he knew exactly what songs to play to keep the whole crowd amused! We had some tough requirements and let me tell you he met everyone! He knew and helped with things my wedding planner didn’t even think of! Book him now !!!!!

    The Best Event Director!

    DJ Danny and Joe were the best event directors! They were one of 2 key vendors that were constantly reliable and dependable, always keeping our wedding on pace with how we wanted and discussed beforehand. Danny kept a continuous, open line of communication, working with our budget, with other vendors and with the theme and overall aesthetic of our wedding. Joe helped Danny behind the scenes wherever needed and went above and beyond what was asked of him, which helped out alot!

    Greg from Northeast Event Design was the DJ for our wedding. He was amazing! Our guests had a blast and could not stop talking about how great the music was. We had our guests request songs with the RSVP's and Greg played almost everything we gave him for requests. We discussed every aspect of timing, introductions, music, lighting to all be on the same page. He paid a lot of attention to what we wanted and how we saw the night going. And he even managed to pronounce my grandmother's name correctly which is an accomplishment! It was a lot of attention to details and we really appreciated it!

    Danny DeBruin was absolutely wonderful to work with. Of all the things a bride and groom have to worry about, not once did we ever have to worry about DJ/entertainment related anything. Not only did our DJ set up a photo booth for our guest book, but he made sure the special touches we wanted at our wedding were incorporated to reflect our relationship.

    The lighting that was in our package made our wedding reception come alive! We are 4 days post wedding and we still are receiving compliments about hosting the funnest reception so far. Our entertainment truly made this day so much fun and so very special. Our wedding had many surprises leading up to our day and having Danny DeBruin to work with was nothing short of perfect.

    He made us as a couple feel so special and he was so focused on our special day with each meeting we had leading up to the wedding. Everything ran so smoothly with Northeast in charge of our music, announcements, and photo booth. Thank you Northeast but Danny, thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful. Because of you, we were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding and planning and for that we cannot thank you enough. This company has our recommendation for sure and support for sure!

    If it were possible to give Danny and the Northeast Event Design team six stars we would. Danny took time to meet with us before hand to make sure he understood our expectations of the evening, had thorough surveys that gave us confidence in his organizational skills, and then delivered beyond expectation on the evening of our wedding. Our friends and families left in amazement at the exceptional DJ/MC service provided. I would recommend Northeast Event Design to anyone looking for a professional, skilled, detail orientated, and talented DJ.

    By far one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our planning process was choosing Danny at Northeast Event Design as our wedding entertainment. We met Danny very early on in our planning process and knew he was the right choice for us. He was very patient with all my requests to meet to make sure everything was on track. His knowledge of music and the whole wedding process was amazing and made us both feel at ease about everything. I don't think there was a time during our reception that the dance floor was not packed with friends and family. His ability to read the room and decide on the best songs to play is amazing. In addition to the music Danny also had uplighting set up which was great (he even matched our colors!) I highly recommend Danny for anyone looking to make sure they're reception is one guests remember!

    There are seriously not enough stars and positive things I could possibly say about Danny from Northeast Event Design!!! Being the ultra-organized [read:control-freak] bride, I was hesitant to trust very many people with what would be the most important day of my life to date. Every bit of that anxiety went away with one phone conference with Danny. He explained that he was so much more than a DJ, and he couldn't have proved that better on my wedding day. He was professional, personable, and polite. And I honestly believe my wedding wouldn't have gone half as well if it weren't for Danny. He kept us on time, a source of anxiety for me, he interpreted the flow and mood of the room as it fluctuated and played music accordingly. He reminded our guests of small details like our unique guest book, custom Snapchat filter, and hashtag throughout the night, so that we had an amazing amount of pictures and videos to watch to relive our special day from the perspective of our guests. He read the room and played music accordingly, but always checked with us in case there were specific songs we wanted to hear. He knew exactly what to do and say, before I thought to ask! I will recommend Danny and Northeast Event Design to all of my friends, and probably even strangers on the street!! He is just that good!!

    As soon as we met with Greg Young of Northeast DJs we knew we had to book him for our wedding. Greg is extremely organized, professional, experienced and just a really great guy. When I emailed him with questions throughout the year of planning, he usually responded immediately. He worked with us every step of the way regarding what type of music we wanted and didn’t want. He guided us through selecting the order of events at our reception and was totally accepting of a couple non-traditional dances we wanted to do. Northeast DJs didn’t only provide us with exceptional DJ services; we also got uplighting around the room, a personalized monogram, two large TVs which showed family photos and music videos throughout the evening. It completely transformed the banquet hall. We have received so many complements about Greg’s enthusiasm as an MC and the music had majority of our guests out on the dance floor for the entire evening. Friends and family have commented how beautiful the lighting, the monogram, and the TV slideshows were. We were lucky to have both Greg and Dan at our reception. Dan is also a really great guy and you can be confidant that whether you have Greg or Dan as a DJ for your reception, you’ll be in good hands and it’s one less thing you have to stress about.

    Highly recommended!!!!

    I honestly do not think that 5 stars is enough for rating Danny and his DJing. Danny DJ'ed our wedding in May 2021. Throughout the entire process, Danny was professional, timely with his communication, and patient with me with my last minute changes and decisions. During our final meeting, Danny was prepared, had clearly read through all of our paperwork and asked really insightful questions. Additional to that, Danny made many suggestions that I never would have thought about for different parts of the ceremony and reception.
    Music is a HUGE part of my husband's life and has now become a huge part of mine. We had many meaningful and special songs we wanted played and Danny did them all--- including flawlessly throwing in a surprise song during my entrance to the ceremony!!
    Our dance floor never stopped the whole night and a huge part of that was Danny's seamless transitions, order of songs, the props he provided, and his ability to pump everyone up. We could not be happier with how our wedding day went and a big part of that is props to Danny.
    Not to mention--- the lighting, monogram, and tv on his stand added so much to the reception!
    We HIGHLY recommend the services of Northeast Event Design! :)

    Greg Young with Northeast Event Design was absolutely amazing. He did a great job from answering my inquiry to playing our last song. Greg was very easy to work with and he made sure we had the best services possible for our reception. Not only did he play great music, offer fantastic services, but also went above and beyond by offering services we hadn't requested, but he knew we would enjoy. Greg impressed everyone in our wedding party and everyone at our reception. We will continue to use Greg for any large events we host going forward. My wife and I offer the best possible recommendation for Greg as he was the best DJ we've experienced at any event we've gone to.

    could not ask for more

    Northeast Even Design, was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. We both knew that the music makes or breaks a wedding, so we went with the recommendation of one of the groomsmen. The highest praise I can give Greg is the best kind of vendor, the one you don't have to worry about. He showed up well in advanced, double checked with us several times, and kept the dance floor hopping. Any issues or problems that he incurred during our event, he handled them himself or grabbed someone else, and left us to enjoy the night. He knew the secret to getting people on the floor was to get the kids out there dancing, and even got my side of the family that historically never danced. The reception went off with out a hitch, any time changes we need to make to accommodate running a few minutes late he rolled with really well. The reception could not have been better and that is in large part to Greg's great skill at MCing and keeping the floor packed

    Danny exceeded our expectations and kept our family and friends on the dance floor until the very last song! He was professional and accommodating throughout the planning process which was helpful as we were planning our wedding from another state. His presentation was polished and spot on the night of the event. He provided pipe and drape and amber up lighting for the reception which helped transform our reception venue. Our guests loved the photo booth and the attendant working with him was courteous and professional. We would absolutely recommend Northeast Event Design to anyone planning a wedding or special event!! This team truly goes above and beyond.

    Danny and the entire crew at Northeast Event Design not only transformed a room at the Stage Neck Inn, they brought our dreams to fruition. You will never meet a more down to earth, funny, yet extremely professional business man as Dan (Danny as I called him) DeBruin. Danny had my back the entire way. He transformed a otherwise beautiful ballroom into an elegant, personalized, blue uplit reception space for my husband and I.

    The purpose of our wedding was not only to get married, but to provide a gathering for 75 of closest family and friends. People entered with a red carpet arrival which was an elegant backdrop of my and my husband's name. Our guests entered and had a photo taken of them with our own customized backdrop. During dinner, that area transformed from Red Carpet Arrival to a Photo Lounge were not 1, 2 or 3 people could take a photo, but a group upwards of 8 or 9 could go in. The photos then appeared through the entire night on LCD Screens in the reception area during dinner.

    People were in awe when they saw the blue uplight in the room. We received so many compliments! A monogram of our name shown beautifully against the mahogony doors was the icing on the cake. It brought the room from extraordinatory to WOW- SPEECHLESS.

    Our guests not only had beautiful lighting during their entire night, the elegance of the monogram (which believe me, it made a difference), but they had great music (for you dancers out there) as well as the Photo Lounge (for you crazy guys and gals out there) and then the entertainment of viewing the photos (for you relaxers out there). 50% of our guests stayed until midnight and we had to let them know that we were heading out.

    Success? I'd say so!!

    If you are looking for a Vendor who is a step above the rest, someone who wants you to remember the day and who also wants to remember it with you, please call Danny. He is the best and I will be recommending him to everyone that I see.

    Greg at Northeast Events was an excellent DJ and entertainer for our summer wedding. From the initial phone call and meeting to the very last song, he was both easy to work with and professional. The ceremony and reception went flawlessly because he was prepared which was awesome. During the ceremony, he timed all of the songs perfectly and had the microphones set for the readings. You could tell that Greg has a lot of experience and was very kind and willing to put us first to make our wedding everything we wanted.

    Greg was very helpful throughout our planning and met with us twice, making the trip down from Lisbon to Portland both times. He was willing to offer as much guidance as we needed and gave us a detailed worksheet to help select songs for certain parts of the night which was very useful. He was also able to play every song we listed for the dinner hour and hit many of our favorites during the dancing part of our reception. If you don’t have as many specific songs for him, he is able to help you choose the genre of music, what songs you might want to hear, and even what songs you don’t want to hear. He made our wedding sound great and did a wonderful job.

    Our friends and family kept on saying what a great dj he was and what an awesome time they had. The dance floor was full all night. Greg was an integral part of that and and we are so glad we were able to use his company for our wedding!

    Northeast Event Design was fantastic. We first met Danny through a family member and after experiencing the magic at a family wedding, we knew he was the right choice for our special day! Northeast Event design was professional and flexible, which was very important for us as we were planning our Peaks Island wedding from across the country! Danny was super helpful through the planning process and really understood our vision. Danny did a great job playing all of our favorites and had a great feel for the music style we were going for! Most importantly, our guests had an amazing time tearing up the dance floor! We highly recommend Northeast Event Design and would absolutely hire them again!!!

    Northeast DJs proved to be the ideal choice for our wedding. They were incredibly responsive to our needs and professional at all times. They are also highly flexible -- they were always available to discuss our reception ideas and help us construct and design our day. We were also pleased with how the DJ worked the mic -- he was an excellent facilitator who struck just the right balance between business and fun. He played great music and the lighting was tremendous. We strongly recommend Northeast DJs for your wedding reception.

    Hire this company and you will not be disappointed!!

    My husband and I could not be happier with hiring Northeast Event Design for our wedding! Not only did Danny provide music perfectly picked out for us, but he was incredibly helpful and ensured that everything went smoothly for us throughout the day. Along with the music, Danny provided an entertainment setup with a monogram screen of our names he designed, as well as uplighting throughout our barn venue, that tied it all together beautifully. We would both highly recommend Danny, and Northeast Event Design, to be a part of your big day, or any party you are planning!

    The best DJ in the Northeast

    I can't believe it has taken me this long to write a review for DJ Danny but time flew by with a long honeymoon, a big move and starting our new life after marriage. I knew when we got our wedding photos back that I had to leave a great review for DJ Danny. He was professional, had so much experience and made it so that we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. We did our research to make sure he had great reviews before having a phone call with Danny and he didn't disappoint. He made everything perfect from the cocktail music to the music walking down the aisle to the dance floor late night. We got so many compliments on Danny not just days after the wedding but weeks! He had so many great suggestions and knew what worked well within our style of wedding. He even gave us a thoughtful card for the special day! We could not recommend Danny more. Thank you Danny you made our day extra special.

    DJ Greg Young

    Greg was absolutely fantastic for our wedding! Prior to the day, he was extremely responsive and took the time to understand our vision. On our day, he exceeded our expectations! We felt he understood what we were looking for took that into account when doing what he does best. Almost every single guest was on the dance floor for the entirety of the night! We would highly recommend Greg!!!

    Professional, Easy Going and Excellent at their craft

    I planned our wedding in Maine from across the country (California) and I didn't even get to meet Greg in person until the day of our wedding, but I didn't need to because just after a few conversations over the phone I knew he was our guy! He was incredibly easy going, was flexible with our non-traditional requests and created such a wonderful and welcoming atmosphere for our guests during cocktail hour and dinner and then a party vibe for dancing! I would HIGHLY recommend Greg and Northeast Event Design!
