We hired Second Song to DJ our wedding and we are totally happy with the results! Rob was great to work with and provided different options for the services. We ended up with a great balance of great cost and services that met our needs. Rob was equally great during the contracting process since we wanted a few updates to their standard contract. Rob then lined up Kev the DJ and Kev was fantastic! We had a couple of meetings to work out the music we wanted Kev to play, and he provided really good suggestions on how best to organize the music. On the day of the wedding Kev joined us at our hotel before the wedding for a quick rehearsal of the ceremony. At the wedding Kev brought incredible energy as the MC and kept the music flowing perfectly as the DJ. Kev was so great sometimes I was hanging out with him. Suffice it to say that we highly recommend Second Song as your first choice to DJ your wedding or another event!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Shut Down Productions

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Polk City, FL

After a long career DJing clubs, radio, and more I can honestly say nothing is more rewarding than weddings. Just knowing that my music bonds families and helps them enjoy themselves on their most important day is a feeling that can't be replicated at any other gig. When I began getting requested for weddings, I saw a void for club DJs in the industry, so I picked the best and started Shut Down Productions. In addition to our DJ & MC services, we have grown to be a one stop shop by also offering photo booths, lighting, special effects and more to make your celebration even better.

DJ Danny Garcia 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,195
  • Serves Polk City, FL

Hello, I'm Danny, I’m the lead DJ and owner of DJ Danny Garcia. I’ve been a DJ since 2009 and I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2017. Music is everything and it’s super important at any type of event. I’m Puerto Rican but was born and raised in Orlando, FL and most of my family is from New York. So growing up, I was exposed to so many different types of music! So nowadays, I have the ability to play and infuse all types of genres such as Top 40, Latin, Hip Hop, R&B, House, Reggae, Freestyle, Classic Rock and much more.

Danny Garcia is a legend of a DJ. He was recommended to us by our venue staff (who had selected him for their own wedding!), and we could not be happier with our decision to go with him. During the planning process, he has an app for couples to use which has everything to help the day run smoothly and to help curate the vibes for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance floor. He is also quick to respond and helpful for any questions you have throughout the entire planning process, and during planning meetings, he goes over both big picture ideas and small details you wouldn’t have considered to make the day flow well. On the day of the wedding, he had perfect transitions during ceremony music, and he edits songs with seamlessly when needed. As an MC, he was so engaging with guests, he made the order of events flow without us having to think or worry about anything, and he brought the energy to another level. The dance floor was a huge highlight of the night for us and for all of our guests—two months out from our wedding day, we still have friends and family compliment how energetic and fun the dance floor was compared to other weddings they have been to. He truly knows how to read the crowd and tailor the setlist to match the energy of the couple and guests. If we had to redo our wedding day a thousand times, we would pick Danny every single time. He’s the best in the business, and we would recommend him to anyone getting married who wants a personalized, flawless, professional DJ experience. We can’t thank you enough for the incredible memories, Danny!

Al and Mandy are two of the best people we have ever met. They were so easy to communicate with and their portal makes it so easy to put all the information you need for your wedding. The two of them were so much fun to talk to and they really made our night something to remember. They take time to get to know you as a couple and make your dreams come true. They are also really affordable for what you get. We did the uplighting and the audio guest book and I’m so thankful we did. Hearing our guests was something special and the lights made the dance floor more fun to be on. These guys can read a room and make sure the dance floor is filled all night long.
