More Bar/Bat Mitzvah Comments:
"YOU GUYS ROCKED THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT! Thanks so very much for doing
such an awesome job, Patrick. You and Kyle and your team were the best ever.
From the way you ran the show, to the music to the dancers and the photo booth,
you all worked so hard, and you really made "Club Pink" an outstanding success.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" "We had a great event on Saturday night. As always, Mark did an amazing
job in all respects; the music selection was perfect, as well as the hosting by
Mark. Nicole was a very good addition. Overall 1St rate. We will definitely use
you and Mark again." "Tyrone and his crew did an outstanding job. Tyrone kept everyone entertained, kept control of all of the kids (and the adults, too!), had very positive energy and kept everything flowing smoothly. His costume changes were incredible. His disco set in particular was a real hit. After attending a number of parties, you'd think that people (both kids and adults) would start to get a bit jaded or bored with the format, but I didn't hear any such comments, largely thanks to Tyrone. He had a nice way with everyone. He checked in with me periodically and was very responsive. I couldn't have asked for anything more. If I had to choose the ideal emcee for Bernie's party, I would have chosen Tyrone. The most important thing that he did was to connect with Bernie and make him comfortable and excited about his party. Let me spend a few minutes singing Sasha's praises as well. We had seen
Sasha at another Bar Mitzvah party and she really shone there. We requested her
specifically and were excited that you were able to honor our request. She more
than lived up to our expectations. Several of our guests commented on how great
she was, what nice energy she had and what a terrific dancer she is. What I
liked is that she's an accomplished dancer but wasn't showy or putting on a
performance - she was doing her job which was to get people participating and
comfortable being on the dance floor. She's terrific." "The party Saturday night could not have been better -- everyone (from
the kids to our adult friends to our relatives old and young) thought it was
the best party they have ever attended. No one can stop talking about how
wonderful it was. And a large part of that was Mark Addington and his crew.
They were fabulous! Mark met with me and my son for a long time (it was clearly
more than an hour) several weeks ago and asked all kinds of questions about
what we wanted in the party. We knew we wanted lots of games and activities
because this was the first Bar Mitzvah for most of the kids ever attended and
Mark came up with the perfect activities to keep everyone happy. He created the
perfect party for all our guests. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will
definitely recommend Denon and Doyle to everyone I know!" "All I can say is WOW!!! The Get Flipped station was a huge success and was one of the favorite activities of the kids and the adults on Saturday night. My client loved the custom background and how you worked our theme and logo into the design... perfect! But most of all your crew was amazing. Taylor, Roxy and Mark were fun, professional, sweet, energetic and hard working They made everyone smile and kept the line moving really quickly. I can't say enough about their great attitude. The next time we use "Get Flipped" I want to make sure I reserve the same crew. Thanks again for helping make the event a truly spectacular success. My
client was thrilled and so was I!" "Well, we did it! Thea said it was the best party ever, which makes it
all worthwhile. You did a fantastic job getting everyone up and participating
at the start and kept the party going at just the right pace the entire time.
You kept those kids on their feet. It was over so quickly, the time just flew
by. I felt you did a great job of reading the crowd and making everyone
comfortable and entertained. My only regret was that the weather was not better
and the older folks could have sat outside and visited where it was not so
loud, but that was certainly out of your hands! Thanks to you and Seth for
making it such a great day." "Hi Dan - Patrick was so on last night - I've never seen him perform so
well at a party. I absolutely loved it - the party was a huge success. I really
think your team has made a big step forward in the grand entrance process. The
staff Patrick had was wonderful too. Great energy and dancing all night long."
"Thanks for ANOTHER great party! Everything went great, and the music
was perfect, please tell Kyle I said thank you so much!" "Thank you all so much for helping make the happiest event of our lives
that much better. It was utterly amazing and the community is still buzzing
from excitement. Everyone had a fantastic time! Mark was great. He really "got"
us and honored our set list which was hugely important to us. Additionally, all
of his additions to the set list were completely appropriate and in keeping
with the mood we wanted to create. Thank him for us, please. He's a lovely guy.
Tyrone, Jocelyn, Patricia and Dillin were all terrific too. Kudos to Denon
& Doyle for having such an outstanding staff." "Your team was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Ellis was fantastic!!! His energy, enthusiasm, charisma, as well as
his management of tons of kids (& adults), the judgment calls he needed to
make, were outstanding. He is exceptional DJ and was an integral part of making
the event such a success. I wish him all the best in his new life in the Bay
Area and I look forward to seeing him at upcoming events." "It was the best party ever. Patrick and his crew made the Bar Mitzvah
a very fun, energizing and exhilarating event. It would not have been the same
without them. So I thank you. People have not stopped talking about it...saying
it was the best Bar Mtizvah they had been to." "Thanks for making the party! Everyone had a great time and I
personally danced my feet sore!" "Everything was GREAT!!! you are at the top of my list for any other
events!!!!" "There is definitely a buzz. I am so glad I chose Denon and Doyle.
Everyone was great from the beginning. From Mark Addington on the phone to you
meeting at the office. You guys really helped me out especially since I didn't
have a "party planner". Having Solomon meet at our house to discuss timeline
was awesome. It made us feel much better about the evening. Then the actually
evening was like a dream come true for Rebecca, and our family. Brian was great
as DJ, and Ari is an amazing dancer. Without a doubt Solomon was the greatest
MC we could have imagined. He kept the party going, the timeline was just
right. His energy was so great. The adults thought he was just great and the
kids loved him and had so much fun. Rebecca was the first in her class to be
Bat Mitzvahed and people are calling me and asking who you guys were. On Monday
morning I got an e-mail from one of Rebecca's classmates asking me who you guys
are. Believe me, there will be plenty more to come." "They were GREAT!!!. They got everyone up and dancing. During the
cocktail hour, the kids magically disappeared, and when we adults arrived in
the social hall, they were in full swing. It wasn't too loud for anyone, none
of the sound-sensitive kids needed earplugs. Most of the kids were up and
dancing much of the time. They were terrific at organizing everything. The kids
at Isaiah just LOVE Ellis, I suspect he will get many more requests throughout
the year. Grace and Kelsey were a great addition, they had boundless energy. I
am forwarding your request for feedback to my friend whose son has been
depressed/off kilter for several months. This boy was dancing nearly the whole
time, she said it was the best day that he's had in nearly a year! I hope she
sends you feedback! " "I just wanted to write and say thank you to you and your crew. You
guys are tremendous. You make the party. Your team's attitude is incredible.
Ellis, Kyle, Chris, the girls -- all phenomenal. I know the Maluth's were
thrilled. "There is nothing than I can say other than "Tyrone, Brian and Sasha
rocked the house !!!". They kept everything going non "Patrick and the team did a great job at Matthew's Bar Mitzvah. I did
not have to worry about a thing. Patrick had everybody on the dance floor for
the hora and I had guests who have never dance the hora before. A lot of people
asked me for the name of the dj, so you should be getting some calls. I cannot
be more pleased with the outcome of the party. It was simply fantastic.
Everyone commented on what a great party it was... thanks to Patrick, Cameron,
Katie & Kelsey. I told Patrick what a great job he did but I want you to
let him know again that I am VERY happy that the party turned out so memorable
for Matthew and everyone is talking about it. You guys ARE the BEST!"
"Thank you and your team! We had a wonderful time and received numerous
compliments from our guests specifically praising the job that Mark and his
group did. Paul and I feel this was a party comparable to our wedding party as
it brought so much joy to so many - people didn't want the party to end, a true
sign of a great party organizer. After the evening, one of the party guests was
so impressed, he wants Mark to do his son's future bar mitzvah party. The photo
bar was also a bit hit. I originally thought it would be blast just for the
kids but the adults had as much fun with it too!" "I can't say enough good things about how great your team was at
Julian's party!! Ellis was a HUGE hit.... his style, his energy, his
interaction with the kids and adults, his whole approach to the party was
terrific. All the kids really loved him. It wouldn't have been the same without
him. You have a great guy on your hands! JT, Grace and Quinn were absolutely
wonderful with the kids. Thanks so much for coming through for us and making
Julian's party so great. Sophie's Bat Mitzvah is coming up in '09 and we will
certainly be thinking of you!" "Stacey and I wanted to express our thanks to Denon and Doyle, and
especially the crew (Solomon, Brian, Sasha, and Kate) for our Bar Mitzvah party
last night. The party was fabulous, helped greatly by the music and the MC'ing.
The music was perfect, the pacing was great, and you really helped make a
perfect night for us and our friends. We had such a great time, and you really
contributed to helping us celebrate Jacob's Bar Mitzvah with a perfect party."
"Everything went great. AJ, Perry and Jocelyn were all fantastic and
everyone had a great time. Several parents got his card before the evening was
over. One of my out of town cousins, who already has had two kids Bat/Bar
Mitzvah'd, thought it was fabulous and was texting himself ideas to use for the
next kid throughout the party. AJ got the parents involved, and the kids, and I
couldn't have been happier." "The kids were busy and the party was well
"I have so many accolades to offer you and your team, it's hard to mention them all, yet I will attempt too.
Firstly, Mark is absolutely unbelievable. My first communication to him about a possible change of venue was on Friday afternoon. We discussed that the "show must go on", but we just didn't know where. When we spoke again on Saturday at 1:00 and again hourly until about 3:30, when we officially concluded the new location was to be Max's Opera Cafe in Burlingame. I arrived at 4;00 pm, to meet with the restaurant owner to go over the minor details of creating a bar mitzvah party in 4 hours...and Mark had already found the location to set up and was well on his way to constructing your trellis structure.
Your team members never once even mentioned the imposition we created from a different venue, further distance to travel and less time to make it happen. Yet, everything went so smoothly, it looked like the party was always meant to be just as it was.
Furthermore, we know our next Bar Mitzvah party with you, for our younger son in 2 years, will be "a piece of cake". Once again, our most heart felt thanks to your entire team.
ps: The extra flat screens TVs provided were amazing. (The unusual layout restrictions we had made those screens invaluable)"
"Thanks so much, great party, we loved Tyrone, feel free to us me as a reference, I have the highest praise for Tyrone and his crew, thanks again!!"
"It was wonderful and Tyrone an the team were fantastic. The dance cube was a great idea and we were thoroughly pleased with everything."
"WOW. You created a fabulous party for us - and thanks so much for going with the extra giveaways instead of the lights. Given the number of kids we had, I think that was a really good decision. They loved it, and I don't think they would have noticed the lights in the afternoon! I had many, many people saying that Patrick was fantastic. Simply the best they've seen! Nonstop energy! I had some adult friends saying they're ready to plan a party just so they could invite him back! "
"We just wanted to thank you for such a rocking party last night. Everyone just had an awesome time. Literally within a half our of our returning home ( @ 11:30) Marissa's friends were im'ing her about how much fun they had and what a great party it was.
There were about 8 16-18 year olds that initially were going to the Winter Formal at Paly and decided to ditch it to come to our party . Their review was it was way more fun than winter formal would have been.
Even the grandparents commented on how great you guys were and how well you kept the kids engaged and having fun. ( Ok.. they said it was a little loud too but...that's to be expected I guess!) Your crew was also terrific. Fun and friendly. Thanks again. You totally delivered."
"Jordan came home from school today and remarked that all of his friends said his party was "awesome!" This came from some of the most difficult to please as well. I couldn't let that go without letting you know. See you in 2009, if not before at another event."
"Everything was fabulous, just passed too quickly!"
"What a pleasure you are to work with. Your professionalism is unmatched in your industry. Any event is easier just to have you as part of the team. Now to the fun - AJ, Kyle and Grace rocked the event. They should be proud of the success they had bringing together so many kids from different schools at this East Bay middle school dance. It is not just about dancing but connecting with kids and they've got it down! They brought down the house. Our event was a huge success, thank you. My only worry is how we will top it the next time!
This high praise is more than the glow from a successful event, it comes from someone who works for one of the largest corporate event management companies in the country - You Rock!"
"The evening was just perfect; the children as well as the adults had a fun evening. We couldn't have had a better team to work with; Tyrone, Shash and Louis were great"
"We wanted to tell you that Get Flipped was a huge hit at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah on Saturday night. There was a continuous line until the end of the evening. The kids (and parents) loved it, and it really made our party!!!! Thanks again, and we would highly recommend you to anyone."
"You and your crew were absolutely FABULOUS! What a wonderful entertainer you are; both kids as well as the adults (from the east coast to the west) had the most incredible time celebrating Oliver's Bar Mitzvah~ I could not have dreamed it would be better... it already was beyond! Oliver had the time of his life, and so did I!!! I will send something your way to show my gratitude to you and your sensational dancers... in the meantime, please let everyone know how fully satisfied we all are! I already want to book you for Stefan's big day in 4 years!!! I cannot recommend you enough..."
"Our event was amazing!! We are getting so many compliments, mostly for you guys- Patrick & his team were GREAT !!"
"I feel like one of those quotes you have on your website. Everyone raved about your crew Saturday night. They said the dancers made all the difference in the world. I was quite happy with the way AJ timed the change in music. Just about the time the kids were whining about the type of music being played, AJ switched to their stuff and all of the adults were laughing at how all of the kids went out on the dance floor like a swarm of bees. Because of the rain, there was a delay in the arrival of guests and it postponed the commencement of the serving of the dinner. However, AJ coordinated everything with the Club and everything kept moving smoothly. Thanks for a great time. I am only sorry we don't have anymore Bar Mitzvah's to plan!"
"I just wanted to say how happy I was with Patrick and all the other people that performed on Saturday night. They were so terrific! Everyone had a great time. Patrick and the gang did a tremendous job."
"Kyle deserves a standing ovation and a day's pay for a great great job! The whole crew were professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. The getflipped was worth the money although I had to take several pictures with different people to get things going."
"Jacob's dad Jim here... I'm certain I speak for both Pamela and myself in saying that Patrick did a wonderful job keeping the party flowing, selecting the best music possible throughout the evening and astutely "reading" the crowd and adjusting his role as needed... thanks also to Cameron and Amanda who also did a great job.
Also, I want to especially thank Patrick for helping us prepare the candlelighting ceremony... this turned out to be probably the most special part of the celebration.. to tell you the truth, if Patrick hadn't brought up the candlelighting at our planning meeting I probably would not have thought of it (though Pam may have)........"
"I meant to email my utmost praise, and no criticism (rare for me) earlier, but I had family in town until today. Patrick was absolutely sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He kept the crowd hopping all night, and pulled out all of the stops in the last hour or so. My guests never left the dance floor! Everyone remarked that they had such a blast. That is exactly what I wanted... nonstop fun on the dance floor. In fact, I never even ate the hot dogs, salads, ice cream sundaes or popcorn, or visited the ladies' room, because I didn't want to miss even one song. It was the best sock hop ever.
Patrick brought his A game. He kept the sock hop well paced, and really knew the crowd. We enjoyed his selection of songs, and cadence. The bubblegum game, and volleyball, and limbo, and balloon game were pure childlike fun fun fun! I couldn't have imagined a better DJ. My guests did inquire as to where I found the DJ, so you know how popular Patrick was at the hop!
Your dancers were also top-notch. They were complimented by my guests as well. They added the extra touch, and ambience. They kept everyone entertained all night. Even when the party was just getting started, and early guests were filtering in, taking photos, and greeting the bday girl, they were up there on stage dancing, and setting the mood. Each was terrific, and I'm glad we had AJ! Sasha also had a ton of energy!!!!
So, what a hit. What a night!!!! Please pass this praise onto Patrick and the dancers. They really made my 50th bday a wonderful one! Bob has promised to put the photos online, which I will also pass on, since there is a terrific one of the group with me." "The party was wonderful, and I had MANY people comment on the way out at 11 pm (they stayed to the end!) that this is one of the few parties where the kids and adults seemed to be having fun dancing. Tyrone, Dillin and Arianna did a great job of keeping the energy going. Tyrone listened perfectly -- when we had requests, he and Dillin slotted them in perfectly and segued the songs perfectly to keep both the majority of the kids happily dancing while keeping the adults up and dancing, too. Tyrone and Dillin are a credit to D & D -- a great company with quality employees!"
"Mark and his crew were fabulous....They were amazing... honestly they were fabulous, I was so overwhelmed by the evening that I didn't even have a chance to think about anything until I was driving home from the event."
"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful job AJ Rogers did at an event at my facility tonight. Here at The Spinnaker in Sausalito we have worked with many of your DJs for various events. Tonight we had a Bar Mitsvah, which can be a little hectic for our staff. AJ managed to win over both adults and children and fully entertained the crowd, which made our job much easier. I was also very impressed with the high level of communication he initiated with me as well as all the help he and his team offered to my staff. In this industry we know that this is key! Throughout the evening AJ seemed to understand exactly how to help the flow of the event from encouraging kids to put their dishes on our trays, to even offering to help us bus tables! I was very impressed with this effort and wanted to let you know what a difference this enthusiasm made in our night. My staff members commented on how nice it was to not have kids running through the hall! Every single guest wanted to be in the banquet room, where the fun was, because of this team's fantastic work. Please do forward this letter of appreciation to the staff that worked here tonight, as well as your management team. " "Thank you for everything. It was terrific from beginning to end. I was a little apprehensive about Emily's party as her school class had had 3 dance parties in the last month. But nothing like your bash ! And yes, the post-party buzz is universally great. Your group was extremely professional and really did the work of "party management". My husband and I were able to relax and visit with out-of-town guests in the other room. Well, with the exception of my friend Laurie from L.A. She just could not pull herself away from the action on the dance floor. She had an absolute blast and has aspirations of becoming a D and D dancer when she (finally) grows up. I especially appreciated the way you handled the Cal game going on in the TV room. And also how you handled the last 30 minutes of the party, closing down the bar/chocolate fountain room. This drew the kids in and kept the party engaging. Your management was brilliant. The dancers were awesome; they were exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone was professional and talented beyond my expectations. And Emily loved how inclusive you made it all feel by teaching the moves to all the group dances. I loved how at the beginning of the party the kids came from different aspects of Emily's life; the school kids, the Temple kids, the cousins, the neighbor kids. But by 8 pm they were just one big mass of dancing adolescents. That's the sign of a great party. And I am so glad we added the get-flipped and the dance cubes. They gave that extra punch I was looking for.
Well, it is over. I told Lillian (our younger daughter) that yesterday marks the first day of planning for her Bat Mitzvah. We will be in touch soon to make arrangements for another D and D awesome event."
"We had an amazing celebration and denon and doyle helped make it happen. honestly, ruthie said "it was perfect, she would not have changed a thing"! what else can we say...thanks so much. everyone loved get flipped, too."
"It was great! I would definitely recommend Kevin again. Everything went smoothly and the kids and adults had a really good time. I was initially concerned because we did not have a lot of kids (in comparison to other Temple Isaiah Bar/Bat Mitzvot) but Kevin and the others from Denon & Doyle got everyone involved."
"I CANNOT thank you enough or say enough wonderful things about you and your
team. From my standpoint, not only were you a delight to work with as a person,
you and your team were professional, on the ball, responsive, and the most entertaining
group of partiers I've ever seen. Lorna, David, Chloe, and her guests raved
about you all night, and continued to rave about you yesterday at brunch. Family
members from Europe and Canada told me that you are better than the top DJs they've
seen work in Paris, London, and Montreal. And they were all so appreciative of
how you took pains to be so inclusive for both adults and kids, played music
that appealed to all ages, and made sure everyone felt respected and a part of
the fun. It was a complete joy to work with you and I hope to do it many more
times in the future!"
"OMG we LOVED Mark and Tyler. The party was fabulous and we have your staff to thank for it. Mark was incredibly helpful in every way imaginable. We could not have imagined Elliott's bar mitzvah going as well as it did. Please let Mark and Tyler know we are totally overjoyed with their work."
"It was great. All the kids had a fantastic time and Gabriel was over the top. A big thank you to your whole team...a job well done!"
"We had a great party. Solomon and Brian were great...They really kept the party going! We have and will continue to spread the word."
"Eva and her friends had a wonderful time. I cannot say enough good things about your entire staff. Particularly, Patrick was incredible...! We were so impressed with the professionalism as well as the enthusiasm shown by Patrick Ari, Cameron and Quinn. Our family and friends had an amazing time, and we will certainly recommend Denon and Doyle in the future. Thank you so much for helping make such an important day truly special!!!"
"Patrick and his team were the BESSSSSSSSSSSSSST! They were awesome. There were logistical concerns regarding the venue and the lack of space due to some last minute changes that the venue made with the set up, but it did not stop your group from being the best ever. Guests loved them, and everyone had a great time. My own kids want me to invite all four of your team to move up to Sacramento permanently. They want them to be at every event that they're invited too :) I can't express to you enough how much I appreciate you and your team's professionalism. I never have to worry about ONE THING with music, dancing, guests having a good time etc. when I have you on board with an event that I am planning."
"We are all so happy here in the Feldman house. Everyone of us LOVED the party. Jack is on top of the world. He has seen a lot of party stuff and he swears this was the best one ever. You two were really fabulous...a few bumps and wow...did I see what you could do!"
"I just wanted to let you know that Beverly and the gang all did a fabulous job.. The party was great. Everybody had a great time.. I will call you when I get my daughters date for her Bat Mitzvah.. You were right about Beverly she does a great job at being an Mc and getting everyone motivated."
"Mark and the team were absolutely great at Max's Bar Mitzvah. I think they had to work a little harder because we had a small number of kids. The most important thing is that Max had a fantastic time. You can tell on the DVD how creative Mark and the team were." "The party WAS FABULOUS!!!!!!! Mark and gang were incredible,
as I knew they would be! Everyone had a wonderful time and my guests have all
commented on how great the entertainment was. PLUS... the banquet manager where
I had the party told me he's seen many Bar Mitzvahs, and many DJ's. He even
gave me the names of the Òvery bestÓ when I reserved the room. He
told me at the end of the evening that this was by far the best heÕs
ever seen! And he's seen a lot! So much thanks to you all from Gabe and
me!!" "Everything was perfect, especially Solomon. I heard nothing
but great things from both the kids and adults on the DJ (not always an easy
thing to do). We could not have been happier." "Once again YOU made the party. Please thank your entire staff.
We had so many great complements for you the past few days. You can be
guaranteed that we will call you again - your the best. Sammi did have the time
of her life, and truly enjoyed her party. I think doing the party at the house
made it much more special for her. Hope to see you soon." "I want to let you know how much we enjoyed Tyrone at Olivia's
birthday party on Thursday night! He was so sweet, great with the kids, and
wonderful with the music. He was really into the Murder Mystery theme, and
truly helped to make the party a huge success! Thank you so, so much for giving
your all for our party on such short notice! You were all so kind and wonderful
to work with! All of the parents who helped at the party made sure to take a
card from Tyrone--they were all very impressed!" "Patrick and the gang were great. Patrick was actually off the
charts and I received rave comments on his performance. His professionalism,
mixed in with his wonderful charm and love for performing was what got this
group up and partying. He read his audience and was able to engage what could
have been a "quiet" audience. He was the ultimate professional. I am so looking
forward to working with him again and again!" "We were absolutely delighted with Mark's work. He was the DJ
for our son David's Bar Mitzvah 4 years ago, and he was wonderful then, so we
had specifically requested him for Jessica's event. He has matured a bit in the
intervening years, so if possible, he was even better than before. He was a
real professional from start to finish, and a complete pleasure to deal with.
Both Jessica and I felt that he listened really carefully to what we wanted,
and gave us good suggestions when we weren't sure what we wanted. Every detail
was covered, from Jessica's entrance with appropriate music all the way up to
the last dance. One thing that struck me about Mark was his warmth and
enthusiasm for people. He was excited to see a few kids whose Bar Mitzvahs he
had done in the past, and made sure to give those kids a big greeting. He came
and told me how happy he was to see those kids. He also came over at one point
and told me that he knows my son's girlfriend, who works in the daycare center
where his daughter goes. The human connection is obviously very important to
him, and that's part of why he is so good at what he does. He loves his work,
and it shows. We all enjoyed him thoroughly. All the kids (and adults) really
warmed to him, which made the games and dancing go really well. The bubblewrap
game was especially hilarious. I didn't get a chance to talk to Tyler, but he
also did a very good job, quietly and professionally making sure all the right
music was played at the right time. The candle lighting ceremony went off
without a hitch, and everybody liked the music we had picked for them. Please
feel free to use this as a letter of reference if any future customers want to
know what your prior customers think of your company's service. We could not
have been more pleased with Denon & Doyle, and if we have another event in
the future that could use a DJ, we will definitely give you a call."
"We were very happy with Solomon, Brian and Jayne. They were
very creative and fun! My son, Joe, absolutely loved them, he wanted to make
sure he had all of their names correct and he kept going on about how great
they were. The party ran smoothly and they were able to keep the adults and the
kids happy. Solomon's games were fun and creative. He had to deal with very
large inflatable swords and came up with a great game/dance that kept the
swords under control for a little while! We were very happy and very
satisfied." "Things couldn't have gone better. Mark and his team were
outstanding - everyone at the party raved about them. I wouldn't hesitate to
use them again or recommend them to my friends. Thanks for helping the party be
such a huge success." "I have gotten so many compliments about the music and all that
you and your team did. The dancers were great fun also. The bubble wrap was a
hit with the kids. All my adult friends loved dancing as well. Thanks for
running the show -- it made it easy for me. I am happy to recommend you to
anyone if you ever need that -- I doubt it but I am happy to do it." "I can not give enough credit to your group of entertainers. I
was concerned about not having enough activities for the kids. (Photo booth, D.
J. and my son's band to perform). As soon as the kids arrived Mark Addington
started the hoola hoop contest the kids were totally engaged (all ages) the
prizes were awesome and I had many friends say that the motivators and the
D.J.were worth every penny. I 100% agree. I felt good that I didn't need a lot
of extras (which I have found in other Bar Mitzvahs to pull the kids in lots of
different directions instead of all just being together) not only did the kids
love the whole experience but so did the adults. The music choices were perfect
and Mark made my son smile the whole night. (for a shy quiet kid, it could not
have been better. He kept him in the spot light and he was beaming). I booked
far in advance and I am so glad I got the group of entertainers that I did. I
think you all were the reason are party was so successful. Thank you, thank
you, and thank you." "Mark and the group were wonderful and you will certainly be hearing from us again to book future events! Thanks again for everything!!" -Jenny Jeffrey, Private Residence, June 30, 2007 "Your crew was fabulous. Mark was awesome. All in all a very
successful evening thank you so much." "Nina and Seth were wonderful! They played a variety of music,
and, even though we forgot our play list, it was just perfect! They knew when
and what to play to keep the party lively, they entertained with games, they
were very interactive with the kids and adults. I will definitely call on you
again and will tell my friends." "Patrick was absolutely fantastic! He was very polite and open
for any changes or requests that I asked for. Things got a bit off schedule and
he handled them very calmly and very professional. I just hope my "crazy"
family didn't drive him made. They sort of took over at the end with their
performance - they created a CD with songs related to Elliott's Bar Mitzvah,
the songs were hilarious. I hope Patrick didn't mind them sort of taking the
stage. I was so busy I didn't get a chance to thank all of them. So thank you
very much! We loved the bubble wrap and all the other things too. " "Everyone I have talked to has raved about you and your
company! The party would not have been the same with another DJ. You got a lot
of kudos from our crowd, and I hope to get you some business out of it. I did
tell everyone that I had to book you 18 months out, you were so popular. As a
matter of fact, I will be booking with you probably in the next 12 months for
Katie's Bar Mitzvah. I want to extend my biggest Thank You's to you and your
staff. You made the evening event spectacular! Everyone is still talking about
the event." "I wanted to let you know that we were more than satisfied with
the service, the professionalism, and the great entertainment that Nina, Alex,
and Ari brought to Elana's Bat Mitzvah. We felt that Nina was very responsive
to our requests as to the basic style and ambiance that we wanted, as we did
not want too much flash or dumbing down to the kids. We had not realized that
the "motivator" would actually dance, teach dances, etc. It was an unexpected
boon. Everyone had a great time, thought your staff were great, and Elana loved
every minute of it." "Thank you soooooo much for making Jamie's party another
smashing success. I hope I didn't "jewish guilt" you into doing the party
yourself, but I wanted Jamie to have the best party ever and knew you were the
man for the job. A couple of the stories are 1) the boys danced (Jamie says
they never do). 2) None of the kids whose parents showed up early wanted to
leave, a friend of mine came to pick up her daughter and said she never saw
Jamie look soooo happy!!! Tyler was good, Sean and Nicole are wonderful - so
much energy and enthusiasm. THANKS AGAIN - We wouldn't think of having anyone
but you for any occasion in the future (hopefully no weddings in the near
future)!" "I wanted to tell you what a great job Nina and her team did!
Scott told me this morning that Nicole and her friends absolutely loved Denon
& Doyle! Thank you so much for such outstanding service. We will definitely
keep you in mind for future events and recommend your company to family and
friends." "What a great and successful evening. Thanks to all of your
adorable staff my daughter was a true princess at her Bat Mitzvah!!!! I could
not have pulled it off with out them." "I didn't get to thank you for such an amazing evening. Your
music was fabulous and the kids had an unbelievable time. I tried to stay up to
say good bye to you, but at 12:00, I just thought I was going to collapse.
Thank you for helping to make our event such a success. You are a wonderful DJ
and person to work with. I so much enjoyed meeting you and having you with us
at Camp Bridget." "Solomon and crew were terrific. He has such a calm measured
presence about him, amidst all of out nervous energy! The party was so much
fun, Solomon was intuitive and flexible with both the music and the flow of the
party. I think everyone, 13 year olds, younger kids, parents, aunts, uncles and
cousins all had a great time dancing all night. That was our goal and the team
made that happen. (The dancers were a huge hit with my 20-year old
nephew/cousin set!--and handled themselves very professionally.)" "Thank you so much for the great job Saturday night. It takes
talent to be able to entertain and please 50 teens and 80 adults all at the
same time, but you pulled it off wonderfully. The "buzz" among the adults was
that you were great, and when Mitchell goes back to school tomorrow, he
believes the party will be the talk of the 7th grade. Thanks much, we will keep
you in mind, and feel free to use me as a reference." "Just want you to know what a great job AJ and his team did
Saturday night! My daughter Anna and her friends had a great time and the team
really made Anna feel special. AJ was able to coax all the the adults onto the
dance floor to close the night off. A real highlight of the evening was seeing
Anna's grandmother out on the dance floor doing the "Sprinkler"! GREAT FUN!
Please pass our compliments on to AJ and Thanks to you and everyone involved
for helping make our family Mitzvah so much fun." "ONLY compliments for Patrick, Tyrone, Beverley, April and
Louis!! It was a fantastic party, your team was amazing. Ellie and her friends
never stopped dancing. The "big" kids (my high school & college-aged group)
may have even had as much fun as the 13 year olds. My favorite quote, from a 21
year old guest, was "Ellie's bat mitzvah was more fun than a college party",
don't think I can top that! "Mark Addington and crew were so super-spectacular that they
put ALL other teams to shame! We had an extremely successful multi-generational
party where everyone was up at different times, and all together. I looooved
the evening so much." "Patrick was great, his timing, presentation and energy was
terrific. April was also wonderful working with the kids getting the games
going, etc. The music accompaniment for the "puzzle" ceremony was also right on
target. Just what we had in mind..." "Patrick was great. The photo bar was a huge hit and the guys
running it were adorable. Thanks again for a fabulous evening of dancing." "Thank you so much for a fabulous party! You were incredible! I
realize that we were not much help in the planning process. Never having had a
party like this we were at a total loss as to what to request. You were
wonderful. Your experience and patience put us at ease. You clearly heard that
we wanted it to be a party where the kids would be engaged. It was! The truly
amazing thing is that EVERYONE was participating. We had adults out on the
dance floor that we never would have imagined seeing there. Everyone was
impressed with you and your crew. Thanks for making Adam's Bar Mitzvah so
special! Please feel free to use us for a reference. We will gladly speak to
anyone about our extraordinary experience." "I must say the party was a huge success!! Solomon, Tony, Pam,
Amanda and Kelsey all were so professional and helped make our Bar Mitzvah
celebration one we will never forget. We have not stopped getting compliments
from our guests on the wonderful job Solomon and gang did. Our guests were
amazed how the kids remained on the dance floor for the entire party. If you
ever need a reference for prospective clients please don't hesitate to give
them my contact info. Thanks again and if we don't talk to you sooner, we'll be
contacting for Brandon's 2011 Bar Mitzvah." "AJ was wonderful with the girls and in fact, I've received
countless calls from my friends who raved about the entire event and
specifically mentioned AJ's endless energy and entertaining demeanor to keep
the girls engaged all evening long." "Your team was WONDERFUL..the kids had a blast. Thank YOU ALL."
"Please thank Patrick, Cameron, Pam and Christell for all their
hard work. Patrick was always professional, kept everything running smoothly,
and the kids had a great time." "Just wanted to thank you again for making Emily's Bat Mitzvah
Party wonderful! It was absolutely perfect - just as we imagined. It couldn't
have been any better, and it was in large part to how you orchestrated the
evening. you are quite a talented young woman. Thank you, thank you." "Please pass along our appreciation for a phenomenal job by
Patrick, Cameron, April and Sasha! They truly made the party. Everyone has
raved about how they created a fantastic festive atmosphere and made everyone
feel included, kids and adults alike. Lauren is on cloud nine! She felt like a
princess and is so overwhelmed with happiness that she has not even shown any
interest in opening her gifts! She is basking in the joy of her celebration and
so are we. (Just this morning my 6 year old made me swear that I would hire
them again for his Bar Mitzvah!) Many thanks to Patrick and company. You made a
special day even more magical!" "Patrick and Cameron did a great job keeping the kids
entertained which kept the party flowing very nicely. We are so glad they were
there to MC and DJ our event. Best regards!" "I wanted to thank you for helping make Josh's party truly
fabulous. Everyone had such a great time -- kids and adults alike. You and your
entourage really made it happen. Steve, Josh and I are so appreciative"
"Beverley and Gautam were absolutely fantastic. I have had at
least 15 people tell me that it was the best party they have ever been to, and
you know that a lot of that is a reflection of the DJ. So...thank you and thank
both Beverly and Gautam again." "Thanks for a GREAT party! Please tell Tyrone and crew that we
were REALLY pleased and have heard only glowing reports from the guests.
Everyone worked so very hard, we couldn't believe it, and realized that they
hadn't even really had dinner, so I hope they enjoyed the cold pizza! I should
have taken better care of them, and I'm sorry! I got a call from one mom last
night, saying her kid says that Sasha was the best dance motivator she's ever
seen and they asked for Tyrone and Sasha's names! (We're sort of Sasha's
cousins, so we're not impartial! but we got superlative reports on everyone
from impartial sources! We're really, happy!" "They were great!! The party went off very well. I was
particularly pleased that they were able to keep most of the kids engaged (it
was a large group!). Mark's timing ( dinner, candle lighting & of course
Harry's presentation) was on target. Thank you so much for making our party.
You are the only ones I will call in the future." "We had a wonderful time largely because of Mark and the Denon
& Doyle team! We received numerous compliments from our out of town family
and friends. They were quick to mention how great the DJ was. Many of the local
parents and friends that attended were shaking it and having a great time. (One
of our friends is a math teacher at Diablo Vista Middle School. He was so
impressed that he is interested in bring you guys in for their school dances.)
A few of the boys in Micaela's B'nei Mitzvah class that are not dancers were
getting their grove on for the first time ever! Micaela said that even some of
the professional party goers were having an extra special good time trying to
be "Mark's" and hogging the microphone. There were kids from different
communities that Micaela is involved with and kids in a wide age range. Many of
these kids had never been to such a fun kid centered party. They had the time
of their life! I loved the energy that was generated by the Denon & Doyle
team. Mark's timing was perfect and consequently the whole event went very very
smoothly. It certainly helped that I have a couple of fun loving kids that
could not stop dancing and clowning around! (Ask Mark about my son Jared!) We
are very grateful to Mark and the team for making our party such a success.
We'll be calling you for Jared's Bar Mitzvah party (in 2010) as soon as we get
the date from the temple!" "Patrick and Solomon are the greatest. All of your people are
fabulous. You proved that yourself at the Abeles Event. I've now had Patrick
and Solomon at difficult events and they have both come out shining like a
star. Also, I was very impressed with Solomon at the meeting we had with the
Levy's. He was great. You've got 2 great guys here not to mention Addington and
yourself. Your energy providers have risen to the top from what I've seen
before. As I said, I used to bring in Hart to Hart all of the time. You are
every bit as good if not better. I am so pleased with the way our relationship
is going, and I'm so happy to be able to count on your guys 1000 percent. I
also have to mention all of your new gadgets. Love what you're doing in that
respect also. Thank-you for being so professional." "The compliments keep coming!!! So many people keep calling and
sending me notes to express the wonderful job done by the whole Denon &
Doyle team. Everyone is well aware of the fact that the overall success of the
event was directly attributed to the great job that you and your team did that
night keeping the crowd on their feet and totally engaged. We are now looking
for any excuse we can find to throw another party where we can have you and
your team do what you do best PARTY!" "It was spectacular. Please let everyone know there is nothing
they could have done better." "We had a fabulous time and as always you and your team did a
wonderful job. I had a number of people tell me how good the DJ was but I
expected to get such comments. We had some nice comments on the rest of the
team too. It's funny that some of the kids thought the dance motivators were
family. I guess that shows how well they fit in. I wish I had a couple of more
Bar Mitzvahs coming up but I guess I'm done. I will no doubt keep you in mind
for other events and pass your name on to everyone I can. As always, it was a
pleasure working with you." "It was all great! Patrick and the entire team did a fabulous
job. Please let them know." "The party was a huge success and the DJs were fantastic. I
didn't really have a chance to meet Gautam - but I assume he had a lot to do
with the music selections - which were great. Bawb was fabulous. He motivated
the crowd without being too obvious (or obnoxious!)."
