    There are three things guests remember most from a wedding: the venue, the food, and the music. We attended a wedding in 2021 where Jason Dawson (DJ JD) was the DJ. He was the only thing I truly remember from that night. He had everyone dancing all evening, read the crowd perfectly, and delivered an unforgettable experience. I made a mental note right then. When we got engaged, Dawson’s Entertainment was one of the very first vendors we contacted. We specifically requested DJ JD, and luckily, he was available for our date. From our initial meeting, we knew it was a match made in heaven. Beyond being one of the best DJs in New England, Jason is incredibly professional, organized, and most importantly..down to earth. He was easy to talk to, genuinely excited about our vision, and clearly passionate about what he does, which made the experience even more special. In the months leading up to our wedding, every idea we had was thoughtfully incorporated. We chose music that truly represented us and requested custom loops for the ceremony, which he executed perfectly. Jason was such a joy to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, Tom and I were constantly stopped by guests complimenting the DJ. From the prelude and ceremony music, to cocktail hour, dinner, and the open dance floor..he absolutely nailed every moment. He also set up backlighting in our reception space, which was stunning. During dinner, it created the elegant atmosphere we were hoping for, and once dancing began, the lights slowly faded into different colors. It was phenomenal. The best part of the night was the dancing. The floor was packed the entire time. I only left once to change. I have never danced so much in my life. Even now, we’re still receiving messages about Jason’s set. He worked closely with us on the playlist, and although we were unsure about our final song choice, he gave us the confidence to trust it and it turned out to be the perfect ending to the night. It’s a memory I will cherish forever. He captured the moment too which meant the world to us. Jason truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we will forever recommend him

    We booked Dawson Entertainment for our December 2025 wedding and all I can say is WOW. We found Dawson Entertainment through a mutual friend after another DJ that we liked didn’t have our date available. I am beyond grateful that the chips in place fell the way that they did. From our first conference call with Jason to the wedding day itself, you could tell how much passion Jason and his team has for his craft and business. He was courteous, professional, and kind throughout each interaction. Jason started out asking us pointed questions about our taste in music and what songs we have enjoyed the most on past wedding dance floors (we have been to a LOT of weddings.) We immediately loved his energy and knew that we were going with the right guy. After the initial interaction about a year ahead of the wedding date, I had to reach out to Jason’s team member, Angela, to check in on a few of my questions. Angela was also a star player - she was quick to respond and extremely friendly. Most importantly, Jason is extremely talented to boot. I had created pretty ambitious playlists for our wedding inspiration - between the cocktail hour, the dinner, and the dance floor, I thought that Jason was going to think that I was crazy. But, he didn’t even bat an eye and assured me that it was helpful. Not only that, he somehow weaved each and every request into the night. These playlists were over the amount of time that our wedding actually spanned across and Jason made it work. His transitions were great, his emceeing was awesome, and he lifted the weight out of our shoulders to make sure that our guests were having a good time. Finally, the photo booth!!! Such attention to detail and so many options to choose from. Our guests were living for this attraction and LOVED that we upgraded to 4x6 photos. The Photo Booth attendant was also extremely diligent about creating a take-home guest book for us to look through - such a highlight the day after the wedding. The downloadable copies are also a huge plus. I am an extremely picky critic when it comes to music, yet I cannot recommend Dawson Entertainment enough. Thank you again to Jason and the entire team at Dawson Entertainment. This is a 20/10 vendor to book.

    Go no further looking for a DJ - Jason and his team are not only amazing to work with but could not have provided a better experience for our big day. A week later and guests are still talking about how great our DJ was, the dancefloor was packed all night. Thank you, Jason, Angela and team for making our night memorable for not just us but our guests as well!

    DJ Dawson (Jason) was the DJ for our wedding several months ago in Rhode Island and he exceeded every expectation! From our very first call, we knew we wanted to work with him. He made the entire process easy, was incredibly organized, and patiently answered every question we had. About a week before the wedding, we changed our minds and decided we wanted to do a grand entrance. We told Jason our vision, and he delivered something even better than what we could have imagined! He was able to mix customized versions of the songs for our grand entrance and the father-bride dance based on our favorite parts and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. The dance floor stayed packed all night! Jason perfectly read the room and matched the energy even with only a short list of “must play” songs - he dialed in the vibe from the very start! Our guests even told us they couldn’t leave the dance floor because they were worried they would miss something! We genuinely can’t say enough good things about having Jason as our DJ. If you’re considering him for your event, do it. We’d recommend him without hesitation! Thank you Jason for an unforgettable night!
