Dawson Entertainment Production, LLC

Q: What do you wear?

We wear a classic black suit and tie with a white or grey button-up shirt.

Q: Do you take music requests?

It's never a bad thing to listen to guest request, but we do use our best judgment to decide if we actually play a request or not, based on our past experience playing the song and our conversations with you, the couple hosting the event. Even if a song request will not quite fit the vibe of the event, it may guide us to play something similar that would work for the dance floor.

Q: Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are happy to provide proof of insurance if you or your venue request it.

Q: How early do you come to set up?

We arrive 1.5-2 hours before our start time for set up. We like to give plenty of time so we don't have to rush.

Q: Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Yes, we can provide full Uplighting, Pin Spots, Monograms, Marquee Letters and Mirror Photo Booth!

Q: What are your sales taxes?

All taxes are included in the price.

Q: What is your travel and break down fee?

We do not charge for setup or break down. We only charge from the time we start playing music at the beginning of the event until we stop playing music at the end of the event. Our travel radius is 2 hours from Griswold, CT. Anything beyond that would require a travel fee and/or hotel accommodations.

Q: What is your style?

First and foremost, we’re lovers of music and we started DJing to share that love with the world. We come from a nightclub background with a focus on playing music that makes people dance! We use our smooth nightclub mixing and blending techniques to make every transition between songs smooth, seamless and interesting to keep the energy up so there is always a fun vibe on the dance floor.

I cannot say enough great things about DJ Jason! He is AMAZING. He played the best songs and coordinated every aspect of our wedding music perfectly. He was the DJ for my sister’s wedding 6 years ago and since then I knew I needed him for my own! All of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been to and danced the whole entire night! You will not regret using Jason as your wedding DJ!

Dawson Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their team was quick to respond, personal in their approach, and clearly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. On the day of, they were energetic, detail-oriented, and incredibly organized - ensuring the music flowed seamlessly throughout the event. They took the time to do an extensive survey of our music preferences and demonstrated an impressive breadth of knowledge, curating the perfect playlist to keep our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ service to make our special day truly unforgettable.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawson Entertainment for our wedding at Shepherd's Run in South Kingstown, RI, this November, and they truly exceeded our expectations beyond belief. From start to finish, their exceptional service made our wedding night unforgettable. The DJ was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly enhancing the most memorable moments of our wedding with spot-on song selections. They even went the extra mile to help us cut down our first dance song, which avoided a potentially long and awkward moment and made it feel seamless and romantic. Their expertise and attention to detail truly shined throughout the evening. The photo booth attendant was equally outstanding. They made everyone feel at home and created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Guests of all ages couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed the experience. The service they provided was the best we could have asked for! The lighting, LOVE sign, and name projection were absolutely perfect, adding a magical touch to the venue. These details elevated the ambiance and made our wedding beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of. We cannot recommend Dawson Entertainment highly enough. If you're looking for a team that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, they’re the ones to choose. We look forward to working with them again in the future! Thank you for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect.
