"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 wanted to thank you for helping make Josh's party truly fabulous. Everyone had such a great time Ð kids and adults alike. You and your entourage really made it happen. Steve, Josh and I are so appreciative"

"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!"
-Sara Truebridge, Bridges Golf Club, April 14, 2007

"You and your team exceeded my expectations in every respect! Thank you for making this the absolute best day of my life! Thank you. I will be back to you with more compliments. Your team was excellent as well! We look forward to celebrating with you on Jamey's Bat Mitzvah, and hopefully will find another excuse before then"

"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."
-Robin Verderosa, Crowne Plaza, March 24, 2007

"We had a wonderful time and you ALL did a great job! You kept the party moving, and the feedback has been consistent that it was a great kids party. Most importantly, Josh and Nicole had a great time! Nicole says you ÒROCKÓ and she loves you and your party skills. Josh said it was the best night of his life, and it was awesome (a billion times). It went by too quickly. We knew we could count on you!"

"Everything was so amazing!!! You were great!"

"With Maya's Bat MItzvah last week it feels like we've finished a cycle, and boy, what a ride it had been. I recall we first saw you some 6 years ago at a friend's Bar Mitzvah, and our oldest one, Liat (11 years old at the time), told us firmly that she wanted you to do her Bat Mitzvah party. We already negotiated the party with another DJ/MC, but we caved in to her tears and we signed up with you. Oh, how sweet it was. You did a terrific job for us with Liat, and then with Sharon two years later, and now with Maya. We actually think Maya's party was the most challenging one, as we had more people (210), with more diverse age groups, and in a smaller venue. But you have worked your magic once again - the party was a smashing success, our guests (and us) had a wonderful time, and time went by so fast, and at the end nobody wanted to leave. We've been to many parties over the years - large and small, simple and extravagant - but the truth should be told - you are the best. You have an amazing talent to sense the crowd and get them going at the right time. The kids love you, the adults respect you, and all in all, everybody seems to have a good time. You are a gifted performer, and you always bring experienced, energetic, and very motivated staff with you. We want to thank you once again for your professionalism, dedication, love and support for us. You've made your mark in our family album forever, and you'll always be there within our family memories. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hopefully we'll see you again in future parties in years to come."

"You and your team absolutely made the Bar Mitzvah celebration a huge success. There was already a lot of energy in the room, but you were quick to pick up on it and expanded it to fill the room to the rafters! We had a large group and you were so professional and accommodating in helping us plan for potential options as we considered the site where the party was and the size of the group. You planned ahead well and the planning with the extra staff and equipment paid off. My son and his friends had a great time in their party and we had a great time in ours. When the groups got together, it was simply joyous! You were careful to ask me and Neal along the way what could be done better or differently and implemented our requests immediately. You obviously love what you do and it showed in everything you did during the day. Your staff was wonderful. I wasn't aware how hard they worked (although I never doubted it) until I saw the video and realized how much they were working the kids party. I know that was hard work, but they did it with enthusiasm, professionalism and fun. Clearly every kid, of EVERY age, was having a great time. I appreciated how positive they were in working with everyone. Please thank your entire staff on mine and Neal's behalf. It was a magical day for our family and each one of you contributed to that experience and our memories."

"Dan, You are amazing! It has been such a pleasure working with you. Alexander has a great time at his Bar Mitzvah Celebration even though he wasn't dancing or air jamming the entire time, oh yeah, that was me with the air guitar. Boy that was fun. We also want to compliment your crew, Ari, Sasha, Jack and Gautam. They are fantastic and so personable. You all make everyone feel welcome and at ease. Alexander had been coming out in the animal print jacket and hat and his friends thought he was very lucky getting kisses from the girls. Thank you for all your help and suggestions. Most of all thank you for all that you and your crew do. We didn't worry and we got to have fun throughout the event."
-Sara Green, Crowne Plaza Foster City, January 13, 2007

"The Teen party was EXACTLY what Brett wanted. The party was fun from beginning to end, and I really think every single kid there had a great time. You contributed to the party's success in so many ways: Your conscientiousness in following up with us before the party led to you knowing exactly what Brett wanted. Your suggestion about the decorations was the key aspect turning the room into the feel we wanted. Your set up on the stage furthered the mood of a real party. The choice of music was perfect. in fact Moms were telling me that their kids told them that "the music makes the party and Brett had awesome music". Your suggestion to hand out the glasses was a winner. Another Mom told me, "My son wore those glasses all day on Sunday". Nobody wanted the party to end, which is about the best testament we can give, and everyone was saying it was the "coolest party ever". Thank you to you, Kyle, Beverly, Claire, and the other guy (whose name I forget at the moment but I'm sure the kids know it)"
-Mylene Caplan, Peninsula Temple Sholom, January 27, 2007

"Kids leaving said it was the best party ever. Kyle and the girls were great. I'd say it was a big success. Tom said we'd get a disc or file with all the images from the Photo booth. Several people have asked for photos so I would love to have those files. We do not have a date for Anna yet but when we get it we will let you know, because of course we want you again. I always know that I don't have to worry about the party when I have you there"
-Debbie & Dave, Peninsula Temple Sholom, January 13, 2007

"I have to tell you that you, Ari, Courtney, AJ, Kyle and Gautum absolutely made the party. It was beyond our wildest expectations. The dancers were fun and personable and the kids were absolutely in love with them. YOU were incredible. Your energy is so right on but, even more importantly, your read on the party and your flexibility was incredible. You had the great sense to allow the kids to keep jammin on their own, Bobby was absolutely over the moon! A party would no longer be a party without Denon and Doyle. Thank you so much for absolutely everything."
Kerri Lehmann, Jewish Community Center SF, December 2, 2006

"Just want to thank you for the amazing job you all did. You kept those kids busy the entire time. Everyone kept coming up to me and saying how great of a job they thought you were doing. The kids as well as adults had so much fun. We will definitely be calling you for Sydney's Bat Mitzvah. Thanks so much for everything, I didn't have to worry about a thing. You were great."
-Stacie & David Stone, Blackhawk Country Club, November 11, 2006

"Just wanted to say thank you for another terriffic party. You work so hard and do such a good job. I think everyone had a great time."
-Nancy Katz, Diablo Country Club, October 28, 2006

"The party was great! Mara and her friends had a blast. As a parent you always want to make sure all the guests are having a good time, but as I've learned, middle school kids just go in and out of emotional highs and lows so fast no one can keep up. There were a few times when one or two of the kids was having a hard time, but then a few minutes later they're fine. I think you and your crew did an awesome job keeping things going. I saw a few kids the next day and they said they were sore from non-stop dancing, So that's probably the best compliment. And Mara said she had a great time and that matters most. So thanks again for a fun party."
Lisa Hammond, Foster City Rec Center, October 7, 2006

"Dan - everyone that I spoke to mentioned how outstanding the party was and all felt that this was totally due to Denon & Doyle - you and the others. One of my husbands co-directors at his company (Abbott) told their boss who was also there that the company should hire Denon & Doyle for company events. Aaron was particularly fond of Sasha, but said all the staff were great. he had a great time as did all of his friends and everyone there. Thanks a lot!"
-Dorothy Becker, Contra Costa Country Club, August 12, 2006

"I had already planned to send you and your team a letter of appreciation. Sophie and Reta did a magnificent job on Shabbat and it was a pleasure to celebrate with your help on Sunday.

First, I appreciate your meticulous planning and thoughtful advice on how to plan the party schedule and flow of activities. Your selection of songs was extensive and grouped into helpful categories. We had fun selecting songs for each set of people that we wanted to acknowledge. They all loved the songs we picked for them! You provided great follow-through during the entire planning process.

Second, your staff was delightful and friendly. They worked effectively with all the guests, leading dancing and games, without being obtrusive or distracting. The games were great and involved all the kids, even those who would be reluctant to dance. The adults liked watching the balloon hat and other games because the kids were having so much fun. The younger children seemed to have a good time, too.

You kept the noise level down so that adults could have conversation without losing energy for the dancers. Although I did get a complaint that your mike was too loud (I never was able to get over to tell you that.) Your team was consistently responsive and willing whenever I made a request. I was able to relax and have a great time.

We loved Minita's Indian dancing! We are glad that she brought her costume and offered to lead us a Bhangra circle dance. Our Indian guests especially appreciated having a bit of their culture in the mix.

Our ballroom dancing pair had a good time dancing to the tunes you spun for them, as did other guests. (and my family, too!)

It seemed like the time flew by. I wish we had had more time for Israeli dancing and my sister-in-law was disappointed that we didn't dance Miserlou. Sophie and Reta said that there were songs they wanted to hear, but didn't get to hear. I think we could have done more if we had started the party a bit earlier, but the caterer couldn't get into the hall until an hour later than they had planned.

Overall, we are thrilled with the event and you were instrumental in setting a tone that got our guests involved, dancing and in the mood of celebration.

I hope that we get invited to more events that you are leading and we will certainly pass your name along to others. In fact, one mom already told me she wants all my contacts for a party she is planning. Next time we plan a party with music, you will be first on our list.

Please give our profound thanks and appreciation to each of your staff members. I especially appreciated their positioning themselves on each side of the floor so that we had someone to look at for the row dances like the hustle and the other ones whose names I don't know.

I am copying Steve Johnson on this message because we are grateful that he referred us to you. Once again, Steve has confirmed his reputation as expert on the best party service providers in the Bay Area! (Plus, he and Barbara make great videos!)"
-Marianna Keller, Sunnyvale Community Center, June 25, 2006

"The buzz is overwhelming. I cannot even keep up with the phone calls and emails. You did a fantastic job and we cannot thank you enough. You made every dream come true. The dancers were top notch. The energy went through the roof!"
-Paula Meier, Hotel Sofitel, June 17, 2006

"Thank you so much for making our wedding so special. You were better than any DJ or band I have ever heard. It was just a very special evening and all of the Wishnevs and the Kings want you to know how much we appreciate you and your associate. You are terrific!"
-Martha Ann Wishnev, Temple Isaiah, June 11, 2006

"I just wanted to thank you again for a great party. From what I could see everyone had a great time and there was certainly no lack of participation on the dance floor. As always, we really appreciate the very energetic, and well organized team you work with. Thank you for your great emceeing, you play such a huge role in a successful party."
-Karen Silverman, Renaissance Clubsport, June 3, 2006

"Thank you so much for everything! The music was perfect, people were dancing and we just had a great time."
-Ronit Melamud, Menlo Circus Club, May 28, 2006

"I can't tell you how appreciative we are for the phenomenal job-you, Avi, Tom, Lanette and Kristen did at Stephanie's bat mitzvah. You really made the bat mitzvah--you listened to what we wanted (and didn't) and really followed through. You also had a great feel for the crowd and kept the kids and the adults engaged and energized all night long. I really can't thank you enough for helping us make our celebration one that we will remember forever. Thank you."

"Andrew and I want to thank you so much for making our wedding so special."
-Susan & Andrew, Orinda Country Club, April 29, 2006

"I just dropped my mother-in-law off at the airport so I can finally relax. The festivities have officially ended. The party was a huge success and you, of course, get most of the credit. Everyone had fun which was our goal. I think the only problem you may have is too many people calling for bookings. I only heard the most complimentary things about you and Diana and how well you handled the crowd besides the music. Thanks again for leading the way and making our event a success."
-Margie Vignos, Orinda Country Club, April 22, 2006

"If I had any more strength, I would go on and tell you how much Jeannette and I appreciate what you did for us, our family, our friends, AJ's friends and most importantly, for AJ that night. I have been to a few events in my life, and besides the obvious bious on my account, it was the best ever. You and your team had a huge part in it. We had so many compliments that night and even one of AJ's friends Mom called today to thank us, telling me that her son came home and could not stop talking about the best party that he had ever been to. I am sure you must have seen the transformation of our son that night - it was truly amazing. I atttached a shot from my camera of him and one of his best friends, Ian. So much for the shy kid!!! Thanks again, and our thanks to your team - they were tremendous, fantastic and made a huge difference."
-Jeanette Torchon, Seafood Peddler, April 8, 2006

"The "buzz" is still going for the Wolfert clan ... everyone had the highest compliments for you and your wonderful crew. Again, you have outdone our already high expectations. David had a great time, which is the major thing, in spite of his earlier reservations."
-Steve Wolfert, Oakhurst Country Club, April 8, 2006

"The party was great. The kids had a fantastic time. Some of them came up to me at the end to thank me and told me it was the best party they had been to. Thank you for your expert handling and energy."
-Marilyn Elperin, Pacific Athletic Club, March 25, 2006

"Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!! You are the very best! Your team was beyond awesome. I hope you guys had as much fun at the event as we did."
