Chris Mowery
A Cowboy on a mission
Some people are fortunate enough to pick their own careers, and sometimes the career picks them. For Chris Mowery, it’s as if each of life’s stepping stones led him to become a Wedding DJ. He would attribute some of his most significant life experiences to Providence. Literally. Chris attended Providence High School in Burbank (a fairly significant commute from his hometown of Santa Clarita) and, aside from a great education, received some considerable experience in production audio through various performances at his school. For the man they call Cowboy, that experience would prove to be very valuable.
After a life detour that saw him move up to Northern California to attend St. Mary’s College (he is still a basketball season ticket holder though he lives 300 miles away) and work virtually every customer-service job known to man, Chris would answer a Craigslist ad for a professional audio technician for Denon & Doyle, the leading DJ company in Northern California. He walked in expecting his production experience to prove useful and walked out a Wedding DJ in-training. “The owner saw something in me I never really did. Two days later I went on my first event as a trainee and absolutely fell in love with Weddings,” recalls the self-admitted hopeless romantic. Cowboy found his calling, and Cowboy got good. Very good. In fact, there may not be a DJ invited to more after-parties or to get more Facebook requests from brides & grooms than Chris. “It’s a weird intangible I’ve never been able to put my finger on,” he says in attempt to explain the phenomenon, “but I like to think that I’ve just been blessed to work with so many awesome people in my life.”
It’s a rare combination of easy-going professionalism that makes him such a hot commodity in the wedding world. Maybe it’s the Southern Cali upbringing that nourishes his “mellow.” He’s certainly no stranger to the coastal way of life. When not DJ’ing or playing soccer, you’ll find him on the beach. Shoes off Tunes and Cowboy hat on. It’s that fusion of beach and music that got him his nickname and the reputation of a top-tier Wedding DJ. His list of previous clients is pretty impressive, but you won’t catch him namedropping. See, Chris isn’t about bragging or boasting, he is about the people. Whether it’s working with teens through his church or making sure brides & grooms have the happiest day of their lives, his passion is to help. And while it’s true that some people are fortunate enough to pick their own career, there are a growing contingent who consider themselves fortunate that Cowboy’s career chose him.

What Clients Say About Chris
-Erleen & Rob, Castlewood Country Club, December 12, 2009“The following is a very critical review of his performance:
In one word, Chris Mowery is nothing short of AMAZING!!
Not only did Chris make the reception a wonderful event for all of our guests, he tailored each detail of the reception to our needs and requests. Chris was accomidating before our event and went above and beyond his duties on the day of the event. He even stayed with us during pictures to ensure that we had the necessary drinks/snacks needed to keep us happy.
Anne and I honestly could not have asked (or imagined) a better DJ for our special day. After returning from our honeymoon, Anne and I have spoken to many of our guests and reminisced about our ceremony and reception. More than half of the people we have spoken to have made comments about the music and the DJ, and how both were amazing. Chris successfully entertained all 200 guests for the entire reception, and never once was the dance floor empty or did the reception lag.
I could praise Chris all day, but the bottom line is that he truly was a perfect fit for our event. Anne and I feel like we’ve gained a friend in Chris as well. As one of the first couples in our group of friends to get married, we will most certainly recommend Chris, and Denon & Doyle, for any future events. Chris represented Denon & Doyle in a professional, courteous, and knowledgeable way. He is an amazing representative for your organization.
Thank you again for following up with us regarding feedback for Chris. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact either one of us. Anne and I are more than willing to sing praises for Chris at any time. We look forward to working with Denon & Doyle in the future and thank you again!!!”
Brian & Anne, St Mary’s Soda Center, January 9, 2010
“On behalf of Rob and myself, we couldn’t be an happier with Chris’ job! He went above and beyond your average DJ. He was even pouring us our water at our head table when we were running low! We were truly impressed! He had the reception going so well, we added an extra hour that very night because we didn’t want it to end! Our family and friends had nothing but great things to say about him and kept asking us about him. If we ever need a DJ again, or know anyone who will need one, we’re definitely recommending you guys! With our family we always have an event going on, so hopefully we’ll have a reason to hire Chris, specifically, again some time in the near future!
Thank you again for everything, and helping make it such a wonderful moment in our new life together!”
-Stacy Aronson, Martinelli Event Center, September 12, 2009“We were SO pleased with Chris Mowery. Our wedding planner was orignally trying to talk us out of using D&D because it was a little more than other DJ’s she was recommending… but after attending the Open House we were confident that we had made the right choice… and it really did ended up being WORTH EVERY PENNY. At times when our planner went m.i.a doing other things at the wedding there Chris was with a HUGE smile to ask if we needed anything. He was the first to offer us a drink after the ceremony, the first to help wrangle the bridal party for pictures, the first to hold any beverages while people took pictures with us the first to check in on us when we sat for dinner…. it was
BEYOND
what we would have ever even thought he would do for us. just unbelieveable, really. The reception was an awesome dance party too. For both Mark and myself it was the first time we had seen a MAJORITY of our relatives on a dance floor.
ever
. It was also the first time I had ever seen my 86 1/2 year old Grandma dancing and not just for a slow song or 2.. but for. the. whole. reception. SHE’S 86 1/2 YEARS OLD! It was truly a magical night and with Chris there it only enhanced our day and evening. He was unobtrusive but still there when it mattered (even popping in at the cake cutting to coach us for another great photo op we would otherwise have forgotten about) All in all, we would were so impressed by Chris’ eagerness to help in pretty much all aspects of our wedding and it meant a lot to us that he didn’t just stand behind his equipment and play music.
When trying to pick a DJ and looking on yoru website it was hard to truly understand all that D&D could do by just reading the reveiws… because it seems too good to be true. and Mark and I even joked about that at the wedding, “wow. all those reviews on the Denon & Doyle website were right! it wasn’t too good to be true at all… Denon and Doyle
IS
really this awesome!”
We will be telling the world about Denon and Doyle and feel so grateful that Chris could help to make our wedding so memorable, so, THANK YOU CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
– Rich & Stephanie, Blackhawk Country Club, July 19, 2008“I can say is that if one of our vendors truly OVER-impressed us, it was Chris/Denon & Doyle. If half of the DJs on your team are as good as Chris, you guys have an amazing thing going over there. Thank you so much for making our wedding incredible. AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! Chris Mowery highly exceeded our expectations for our wedding, as did the entire Denon & Doyle team. We highly recommend going to the wedding showcase where they will show you, even before you sign the contract, the huge difference that it makes when a DJ team has really thought everything through from start to finish. You will be amazed at how well everything is put together (and you’ll pick up a lot of great tips as well).
At the wedding, Chris played every jam that we wanted and some that I totally forgot about! He knew what our style was and worked it. He was VERY attentive and made sure we were always ok with a certain song or a timeline for an event. He kept us apprised of what was coming up, where he would be, and kept us entertained throughout. And talk about going above and beyond, he brought us (and many others) drinks throughout – starting from the photo shoot when we were dying for a cold beverage. We are SOOO happy that we chose Chris as our DJ. We could probably go on and on about him, but you get the idea.
We have continuously heard great feedback from our friends and family. They didn’t even refer to him as “Your DJ.” They would say “Chris is amazing, where did you find him?” “Chris is awesome, I can’t believe he is bringing us drinks too.” “How cool is Chris?!” People actually wanted to take pics with him like he was a celebrity! He really got the party going and the guests LOVED him! We also included him in our wedding formals because he was THAT GREAT. There is NO OTHER DJ.”
-Annelie & Michael Briones, Oceano Hotel & Spa, October 11“We did have the best day ever! Chris was absolutely amazing, went above and beyond for us. We couldn’t have been happier! He kept our drinks full, surprised us with games and kept the crowd happy all night. We will be recommending him to anyone and everyone who needs a DJ. Thanks so much for everything!”
-Cody and Amy Morrison, Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa, September 20“Chris was awesome. He never let me stay thirsty and the party never missed a beat! I would recommend him highly to anyone wanting to have an entertaining and well spoken MC. He played great music and kept the schedule right on time. Even my Father In Law loved him and that says a lot! Thank you guys again and give Chris our best!”
-Catherine Johnson, Napa Valley Country Club, August 24“Chris was a delight to have DJ/MC the reception at our daughter’s wedding. He played the songs that we wanted and got us through the evening on target. He was a full delight to work with. We have two more children getting married this year and we WILL be contacting Chris! What impressed me the
most was his thoughtfulness in taking good care of the bride’s parents, Brent and I, always making sure that we had what we needed. Very thoughtful! I highly recommend Chris! A pure joy and delight!”
-Emily Gomez, Hiddenbrooke Country Club, July 26“I just wanted to let you know that you did AMAZING work at the wedding and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Your style was exactly what Tony and I were looking for and everyone had an amazing time. We literally still have people coming up to us and saying that our DJ was
the best! Our wedding party especially was very taken back at how attentive you were to their needs. We really appreciate you doing that. You surpassed my expectations a thousand times over. Thank you so much for making that day a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. There are not enough kind words in the dictionary that would actually describe how I feel about you and Denon and Doyle. The photobooth was amazing and the elegant lighting added so much! I was just so honored that you were able to be a part of the wedding. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know!”
-Erica O’Brien, Delta Diamond Farm, July 5“Fabulous. Chris went above and beyond to make our day fun and stress free! Everyone could not stop talking about how great the DJ was and he even whispered directions to us during cake cutting. WONDERFUL experience and we are so thankful toh ave chosen Denon & Doyle!”
-Tracy Sanborn, McInnis Golf Club, April 20“I don’t have Chris’ email address but he and his assistant were fantastic! Was definitely worthy flying him here from LA for my daughter’s wedding. Please let him know how much we appreciated all his hard work and fun! He made the celebration so much fun! (Loved the “shoe game”!!!) Would not have run so
smoothly without his hard work. Thank you all for making Shelley and Mike’s wedding absolutely the best ever!”
-Lea Harrington (Strandwood School), Contra Costa Country Club, March 2“Everything was perfect! We LOVE Chris and Abe! They are so easy to work with and make our job that night so much easier knowing we are in good hands. They work so well together and are great with our crowd. They offered a lot of good ideas that night, and some for us to
use going forward. Everyone had a fun evening and we had great success at our auction. It is always a pleasure working with you.”
-Melissa Souza, Sequoyah Country Club, November 3“Chris was an awesome DJ!!! We could not have asked for a better MC for our event…all of the services provided by your company was spectacular!!! Thank you again for helping us create a fun and memorable wedding!”
-Maria Asuncion, Grand Island Mansion, October 19“Chris was phenomenal! He exceeded all of my expectations. Went way above and beyond… I am completely blown away by that guy. He was more than a DJ to us… He was like the acting event coordinator, food server, photographer asst., keeping us up with the giants score as well…(world series baby!!!) He is beyond awesome. He played all the good songs and did a good job hosting/MCing the party”
-Lindsay Gage, Mira Vista Country Club, September 29“Thanks for checking in- everything was wonderful!!! Chris made our wedding so much fun- I can’t tell you how many guests I had comment on how great our DJ was!! Please do pass that along to him;)
I also has a few single girlfriends tell me that they will surely be hiring Chris/D&D when their wedding day comes;-)
The other D&D crew were great as well- nothing but rave reviews from us on everything from Denon & Doyle! The photo booth was SUCH a hit!!
We will definitely post reviews on some of our favorite sites- yelp and wedding wire. If there are any others you’d like us to post on, please let us know. It’s the least we can do!”
-Chris Ljungkull, Bridges Golf Club, September 21“The wedding was amazing the the Chris did an excellent job. He did a great job coordinating with the photographer and the other vendors. He kept us on schedule by providing much needed guidance. The event and ceremony went by quick and it was great to have someone to keep up on track and keep the party going. I would recommend Chris to all my friends.”
-Megan Korbel, Silverado Country Club, September 8“But it’s really important to me that you know what an amazing job Chris did as our DJ! He was the first person to greet me at the reception by offering me a cocktail, which I greatly appreciated because I literally never had a chance to make it to the bar myself. He always made
sure there was a cocktail in my hand, as well as the maid of honor’s. He laughed and joked with the bridal party and really put the MOH and Best Man at ease before their speeches. He was upbeat and lively the entire time and really knew how to get my guests into the party mood. He was the one who really set the party atmosphere and I know there would not have been as many people on the dance floor if it weren’t for him. He was out there dancing and having fun along with the rest of my guests which I really appreciated. I know not all djs like to get up and dance themselves. I loved every single song choice he made and the dance floor was packed the entire time. I really cannot say enough good things about him and he went completely above and beyond as our DJ! A regular DJ would have just played the music, but Chris really was the live entertainment for my guests as well as the orchestrator of the entire wedding. I literally received compliments all throughout the night on the DJ!!! Of all my vendors, I really was the most impressed with him.”
-Jon Jones, Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa, September 2“I have to say that Allison and I had a FANTASTIC time at our wedding. I can not say enough of how appreciative we are of Chris. From the initial planning of the music to its execution on the day of, he was spot on. Perfect. Absolutely PERFECT! We were especially surprised as to how
attentive he was with us. He stayed with us during our photo shoot and made sure we had food and drink. He waited on the entire wedding party, directing the hotel staff if there were needs to be met. Our entire group was still speaking highly of him on Monday:”He was the DJ…are you kidding me?” was all we heard. And of course, the music. Wow! Chris is a true professional, you are lucky to have him represent Denon & Doyle. I can’t thank him enough for making our very special day, one that will be talked about for years to come.”
-Rick Barrett, Sequoyan Country Club, September 1“Chris and Rick did a fantastic job. My daughter said it was her dream wedding and everything was perfect.”
-Lesley Oullette, Forest House Lodge, August 31“Your intuition is correct and there is a great buzz among our guests, even a week after the wedding. Chris was AMAZING. He truly went above and beyond in so many ways, and our guests were raving about his style and music selection. We first met after the ceremony (for which he arrived early and
introduced himself to my groom), and the first thing he did was offer John and I water and held my dress in preparation for our pictures. He was really friendly and easygoing and a snazzy dresser, to boot! He did a great job of directing our guests to where they needed to be at the right time without being pushy and I never felt he was overbearing with his microphone use. I have a friend getting married in April and I have already passed your name on to her and told her “GET CHRIS!” He was wonderful and our ceremony and rehersal wouldn’t have been the same without him!”
-Denise Auerback, Here Comes the Guide, Intercontinental Hotel Monterey, August 24“Thank you so much for sending this. We LOVED working with you guys. Chris and Rick were fantastic!!!!!! Everyone loved the music and thought the photo booth was so much fun. The only thing that i thought I would mention is that some of my guests didn’t know the photo booth was in the room because it was in the back corner. I don’t think that was your fault as I had asked my Day of Coordinator and Betty Ellen from the hotel to decide where it was going to go since they knew the room the best.
Really the only reason I mentioned it was because you asked. I wouldn’t have changed a thing!!!”
-Seth and Casey Humphreville, Napa Valley Country Club, August 18“Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for being the best DJ ever at our wedding! You exceeded our expectations and threw an amazing dance party. Thank you for keeping Seth and I hydrated with drinks, walking us through the evening (especially the cake cutting!), and just being all around fabulous. Seth and I
especially LOVED the shoe game (you got me good!:)) Safe travels to LA and we will definitely be giving our friends in SoCal your name as the best wedding DJ:).”
-Janet Morello, Canyon View Dining Hall, August 11…more from the Mother of the Bride…
“What a fabulous reception, with Chris being a major contributing factor! He was very punctual, professional and went above and beyond by getting bride & groom much needed “beverage” while photos were being taken. Casey & Seth had actually met with him on 2 separate occasions so he really got a good feel for their taste in music as well as personalities & selected the random choices accordingly. He was a key factor in trying to keep adherence to the time line & gave them good pointers on how to meet & greet guests! We were very impressed with Chris, as well as the overall professionalism of you staff, and would highly recommend to anyone who asks! Thanks again to all-especially Chris!”
“I must say that our wedding ran a lot smoother having you there to direct everything!!! We especially liked the surprise shoe game! I received many compliments about you and I made sure they all knew who you were and will refer you. When do you make the move again? Thank you so much for everything you did and we could not have done it without you.”
-Ashley Santos, Vineyard Club, August 4“I wanted to say thank you so much for your help with my wedding, Chris was amazing, he was so helpful throughout the event and kept everything on schedule. The music was great and everyone had a blast dancing. I worked with lots of different suppliers for the wedding and it made such a difference
that you and Chris were so easy to work with and did an awesome job at the wedding. It helped me be able to relax and enjoy the day! Thanks again and I’ll be in touch soon!”
-Anna Martin, Jefferson Street Mansion, July 22“Thanks for checking in! We had a great wedding and Chris was great. We actually just reviewed you guys (and mentioned Chris specifically) on Yelp, so that is probably the most specific feedback. Let me know if you are able to find it. We were delighted with how everything turned out and really grateful to
Chris for being awesome and just really reading the room and keeping the party flowing. Thanks so much!”
-Alissa Forrest, Piedmont Hall Community Center, June 24, 2012“I cannot say enough good things about Denon and Doyle. Now on to the wedding… From the moment I talked to Addington on the phone to the moment that Chris handed us a CD with our songs on it at the end of the night I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chris exceeded all my expectations. He took our somewhat complicated vision and made it even better. The flow was perfect, his energy and personality engaged the guests and he even got Dan to dance more than one song. The evening was more than I had ever hoped for and a huge reason for that is due to Chris.
Thanks for everything! I looked forward to working with all of you in the future.”
-Kate Maduell, Canyon View Dining Hall, June 23“It’s hard to even come up with words to describe how happy we were with Chris. He is truly amazing at what he does. From the moment we arrived, he was there for us, guiding us through all of the events of the reception. He checked on us throughout the night and made sure we
were doing okay. When we went to cut the cake, our cake was infested with ants (I know…..gross!!!!). I freaked out and Chris helped keep us calm. He ran and grabbed two pieces of candy for us to feed each other 🙂 Overall, I could not have asked for a better DJ. I had multiple people tell me how much they loved the DJ and two of my friends who are getting married actually want him for their weddings. Denon & Doyle overall is a fantastic company. I really enjoyed the demo night where we got to come and meet all of the DJs. I don’t plan on getting married again of course haha, but if I did I would choose Chris again in a heartbeat! Denon & Doyle is lucky to have him on their team! :)”
-Lindsay Mine, Casa Real, May 27“I’d love to give Chris Mowrey the biggest compliment! He was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with and he went above and beyond his call of duty. While we were taking photos, he made sure we were hydrated and or getting our champagne fix in 😉 Chris was also a big hit with the crowd and got everyone dancing, made sure the flow of our day was on point, and always made sure we were aware of what was going on throughout the night. I can’t thank him enough for making our day so wonderful and FUN!!! The music he played was perfect and every song we requested to play was perfectly timed.
THANK YOU CHRIS!!! Please let him know how impressed we were with his professionalism and ability to make our wedding the best night of our lives.”
-David Dubinsky, Sharon Heights Country Club, April 14“Just wanted to let you know what an amazing job Chris did at the wedding. We have had so many comments about how great he was. The bridesmaids, bride and groom all commented to me that he was there with drinks while they were waiting to enter the reception, and gave perfect instructions on what
to do at every moment. He played the songs in a brilliant order, and they weren’t too loud or too quiet. He led the evening so well. The shoe quiz with the bride and groom was a favorite. Please let him know that we thoroughly appreciated his skill as a DJ and his care for the people at the wedding.”
-Erin Balthazor, Brazilian Room, April 7, 2012“Thanks for checking in. We chose Chris to DJ our wedding after he DJ’d my sisters wedding 6 months ago! I could not be happier with our decision. He kept everyone dancing all night long. Everyone can’t stop talking about what a fun wedding it was and I know that is thanks to Chris!! He definitely goes above and beyond!”
-Lea Harrington, Strandwood School Lafayette Veteran’s Memorial Hall, March 31, 2012“The auction was amazing and the “hands-on-deck” did an outstanding job. We really could not have asked for more. They were both very professional, reliable, and effective. Our guests gave us raving reviews! We really do believe that without your staffing we would not have raised nearly as much money as we did. Chris and Abe worked really well together and they both knew exactly what to do and when. It is hard to find people that you trust will do what you are thinking and they both did, as well as offered advice and suggestions that we had never even considered.
Thank you so much and we look forward to setting our next year’s date for the event soon so that we may get you all back on the books!”
-Dennis Leung, Kohl Mansion, March 24, 2012“Just wanted to tell you that you are awesome. We had so many compliments about you. Me personally, I wanted to thank you for being there with me after the ceremony. It was totally not ur job but u guys were there and SO FUN!! Thanks for the drinks and the good laughs!! Here’s the bomb picture of us!”
-Dave Grima, Palm Event Center, January 26, 2012“Just wanted to let you know Chris did a great job for us. We have had quite a few family and friends mention how great the music was at the wedding, and all the credit belongs with Chris! We could not be happier with our decision to have him be our DJ!”
-Courtnay Leonard, Sharon Heights Country Club, December 17, 2011“We loved Chris! We got so many compliments on how fun he was and how he played the best music! Our wedding was a blast, thanks in part to Chris! Helen at Sharon Heights recommended him to us and I would recommend him to anyone! ”
-Andrea Wong, Rothstein Kass, Casa De La Vista, December 3, 2011“Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to get back to you and let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed Chris and the Flip team. I’ve heard nothing but great feedback from the guests. Chris was also especially helpful with the fire drill of the no electricity on the island. He remained calm and was
able to do the best w/ the limited power. He also did awesome at getting people to move from the bar to sit down from dinner! So please let him know how appreciative I am. We plan on sending in a tip but am a bit backed up right now.”
-Shanna Biederman, Westin SF Airport, November 12, 2011“Thank you for writing. Everyone had a great time at our wedding. We were extremely pleased with Chris as our DJ, and the fact that we used D and D. You guys provide a great service at a very reasonable price. Chris followed all instructions and did a fantastic job. He is a great DJ
and a great guy. It was everything we wanted. We would gladly recommend D and D to anyone. If you would like anything further from us, please let us know. Thank you.”
-Karin Erkkila, Carnelian by the Bay, November 11, 2011“Dude you rock! Has anyone ever told you how awesome you are? My “husband” and I. . . that’s weird to say still. . . .were talking about how awesome you were. At the wedding, you made it feel like we’ve known you for years. You always made sure our drink was full (THIS IS
KEY), you were super professional, you never questioned our ridiculous song selection (even though someone should have-I should have never let my man pick the first dance!!!), you took care of cuttin’ the music early since the both of us Hate dancing, you never displayed the slightest bit of cheesiness, you did the infamous shoe test (which was the biggest hit and our family still talks about it to this day), and you played some pretty awesome tunes. All this wedding crap can be so frustrating, intimidating, costly, and intense. . .not to mention it can bring out the beotch in everyone! People like you make it so much fun and memorable. THANK YOU for being awesome. I’ll be sure to refer you to everyone I know getting married”
-Ashley Hoak, V. Sattui Winery, November3, 2011“The wedding went great! Chris did an AMAZING job! He definitely went above and beyond what Brandon and I expected out of a wedding DJ. To be completely honest, he helped make our wedding perfect for us. Our planner disappeared during a time that Brandon and I were unsure what we were supposed to be doing and Chris stepped in and kept us moving forward to get pictures done and stay on schedule. He made sure that no matter what, Brandon and I were having a good time and had what we needed when we needed it.
We have been told by numerous family and friends, both at the wedding and after, that our DJ was the best wedding DJ they have ever seen. Chris played music appropriate for the crowd and kept everyone entertained and informed of what was happening next and where.
There is not one negative thing that Brandon or I can think of in relation to Chris’ performance/service at our wedding. I am usually big on giving constructive criticism so I regret to say that I can honestly not think of anything. I believe that there is always room for improvement but can not pinpoint anything and for that I apologize.
We also got alot of compliments on the photobooth. I just wish Brandon and I had made more time to get in there. But other than that, it was wonderful.
Please pass along to Chris and give him our sincere thanks for having a big part in making our wedding day so perfect and better than we ever anticipated! We can not thank him enough!”
-Stephanie Moss, Viansa Winery, October 22, 2011“The wedding was amazing, and we got HIGH praises on the music! Chris was fantastic and really got everyone on the dance floor…even my 92 year old grandmother!”
-Vicky Leong, Boundary Oak, September 17, 2011“Chris was great! He was super awesome, attentive, and personable! Our guests really enjoyed the music and emceeing he provided.”
-Shannon Mahoney, Gardens at Heather Farm, September 16, 2011“I am going to send Chris a separate thank you as well, but I wanted to let you know how wonderful he was at our wedding. Scott and I loved Chris! Every time we turned around he was there taking care of us, ensuring that the reception went perfectly, and keeping people on the dance
floor the entire night. We could not be happier. He brought us a tray of food while we had our pictures taken, made sure we had drinks throughout dinner, helped my friend prepare for her solo at the reception, and did a wonderful job announcing as well as communicationg with Scott and I. We only chose a few songs and let Chris run with the music. Scott and I worried for months that no one would dance at our wedding. We even told Chris about our concerns a few weeks before the wedding. People were on the dance floor all night! They were singing and laughing. Everyone loved the music that Chris played. A month later people are still telling me how wonderful our DJ was and what great music we had. Chris played a huge part in making our wedding the incredible night that it was. We have the greatest stories and memories. We can’t thank Chris enough for all of his help, support, and talent in reading the crowd.”
-Julia Cox, Napa Residence, September 10, 2011“Thanks for following up! As expected, Chris was fantastic. 🙂 Unlike the photographer, he actually came to the right wedding! (Ha ha!) Seriously though, we had an amazing time and the music was a huge part of that. He got my 85 year old aunt dancing! Unbelievable.
I just posted a yelp review for you guys… Thanks for reminding me! 🙂 Thanks again for everything, Chris made a memorable night into one our friends will talk about for years.”
-Michael O’Shaughnessy, Kunde Estate Winery, August 21, 2011“Wedding went great. Chris did a great job…kept everyone dancing all night.”
-Ben Rosebrough, Merchant Exchange Building, August 20, 2011“Now that Carolyn and I are home from the honeymoon, we just wanted to shoot you a note to say thank you again for the role you played in our wedding and reception. In short, you were awesome! We had SO many people tell us throughout and after the wedding that they had such a fantastic time and it was such a great party. Specifically, guests repeatedly commented on how great you were - you chose great music, kept the party going, and truly looked like you were enjoying doing so.
I think for me, one of the best parts was that throughout the reception, friends of mine continuously came up to me with comments like, “Oh, I see you must have picked the set-list” or “I knew you would choose that song,” etc. And in truth, had Carolyn and I sat down and made a must-play list of 30 songs, we would have chosen those exact same songs. Yet, we didn’t - you just played exactly what we wanted to hear without us ever saying so. This of course, made our night.
Thanks again for everything, we really appreciate it.”
-Gina Lenardon, Hilsborough Racquet Club, August 13, 2011“Everything was FANTASTIC. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Chris. He was awesome, and everyone let us know that. We wished we could have danced for hours and hours and hours. Thanks for everything!”
-Kerri Cooper, Wooden Valley Winery, August 6, 2011“Hi Chris Hope all is well in your world. We’re still hearing about how much fun you made Ash and Nick’s wedding and just so you know…I’ve got two more kids and you’re our man lol”
-Carolyn Bangasser, Bridgeport Clubhouse of Santa Clarita, July 8, 2011“I just wanted to say that Chris was absolutely fantastic. I love to dance and my husband is a musician, so music was very important to us for our wedding. Chris was amazing not only with keeping the dance floor full, but also with making sure we both had time to eat, coordinating our entire reception, and keeping our glasses full. I so appreciate everything he did for us!”
-Brian Rochford, Bridges Golf Club, June 26, 2011“Chris rocked the house. He was accommodating, and treated us like royalty. Family and friends thought the shoe game was simply outstanding (and many of them had never even seen such a thing ever performed). Chris came strongly recommended and did not disappoint one bit. Chris is the man and we are so happy that we chose him and your company.”
-Jesse and Erin Lutsko, Lutsko Family Estate, June 25, 2011“We just got back to the house after spending the week in Calistoga and wanted to say thank you for everything. The ceremony/intro’s/music/and overall vibe was perfect and we have been playing our wedding CD constantly. The photobooth was super fun and Rick was great. We had a blast going through all the photo strips
the next morning. It really was the best day and we are truly grateful for all your help. Hopefully we can get together for another event in the future. If you haven’t already done so, find Erin on Facebook if you want to take a peak at any of the photos. And please let us know if you ever need a new addition to your references.”
-Sandi Lutsko… more from the Mother of the Bride…
“Now, you know we requested Chris Mowrey for the second time, so I’m not about to say anything negative about him or what he could have done better. We want Chris in our family! When Chris arrived is when I knew I had nothing to worry about. He is completely competent, professional and self sufficient. He always pitches in and both my daughters and son in laws consider him a friend. He manages a crowd well, and creates and excitement and party atmosphere that keeps the party going.
The photo booth was a complete hit. I wasn’t sure when Erin said she wanted a photo booth that it would work at a wedding. Boy, was I wrong. You can tell from the photos how much fun everyone had. And as I said, Erin and Jesse consider Chris a friend and the proof is that there is a photo booth shot of the bride, groom and Chris!!
I just met Rick for the first time. He too is an angel. I wish I had more girls getting married so this relationship doesn’t have to end. You can be assured that I will recommend Denon and Doyle and particularly, Chris and Rick to anyone I know who is having an event. Shoot, Ron and I might have a party just to get you all back.
Thanks again Brian for running such a reliable, professional and fun entertainment company.”
-Marci Lanfri, Palm Event Center, June 24, 2011“Thanks for the email. I just wanted to tell you how pleased we were with Chris being our DJ on Friday. He was amazing! He not only did a fantastic job with the music and mc-ing, but he took such great care of Kevin and I throughout the whole night. We loved him. We’ve had
many people tell us what a great job our DJ did, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a fun, organized, friendly DJ :)”
-Mei and Ian Pascua, Bridges Golf Club, June 18, 2011“We would just like to thank you so much for your hard work this past Saturday. You far exceeded our expectations. We were quite upset at the service provided by the Bridges staff that day for multiple reasons, but you really came through when they did not. Thank you for not only being a great
DJ, but also for taking care of the head table by making sure our glasses were full, providing champagne when we didn’t have any, for tracking down the toss bouquet, for guiding us through our cake cutting, and countless other things you did for us. People haven’t stopped talking about how great of a DJ you were!! We can see why you are in such high demand! Oh, and we love our collection of wedding songs that you thoughtfully put in CD for us!!”
-Kim Stevens, Joaquin Moraga Intermediate, June 9, 2011“It was all terrific! Both Chris and Abe were great…followed through perfectly will all of our requests and Chris really engaged the kids with all kinds of games/antics. They were so good and I barely got over to enjoy their performance. But I was especially grateful they never really needed me for anything…they were on
complete auto-pilot. Unfortunately for me, I got stuck handling quite a few discipline/behavior issues that night which is a bummer but I guess inevitable given the age group. I have already highly recommended you for next year. Thanks for the follow-up”
-Kelly Schuessler, Vine Hill House, June 3, 2011“Chris did an AWESOME job! We couldn’t have been more pleased with him and our guests felt the same way. He really made the entire event run smoothly and helped out with our plan B due to the rain. He is the best DJ I have ever seen at an event. You should pay him more :)”
-Kristin Ochs, Casa Real, May 28, 2011“Chris did a fabulous job at our wedding! He was so easy to work with and he really helped us to keep everything in order on the day of. I was pretty excited to work with him after reading his reviews online, and he definitely did not disappoint! Everyone has been telling me about how
great he was… from grabbing us drinks, to helping us with the cake cutting, to playing great music… he was wonderful!”
-Shannon Brazil, Round Hill Country Club, May 21, 2011“I have been meaning to write this to you since pretty much the end of the wedding. Scott and I just wanted to thank you so much for all you did for us the day of our wedding. I felt like I had a personal assistant because you went so far above and beyond your
duties as our DJ. You really took care of us all night from getting us drinks to walking us through our cake cutting experience, you were awsome! Thank you so much for cueing us to the music it helped me a lot and just you being there made me feel so much more calm. I had such a great time and one reason is because you made that possible for me to really relax and enjoy my day. So we just wanted to say a big thank you for all of that.”
-Kathy Jacobsen, Claremont Resort & Spa, March 26, 2011“The party went very well. Chris did a very nice job. Low key and helpful with moving things along. We were very impressed with the entire evening.”
-Don Newell & Jessica Young, Four Seasons Hotel, March 5, 2011“Chris and Richard did a great job. They helped move things along when it was appropriate, and let things alone when they should. Chris was on top of everything – the music as people entered, handling the toasts, running the first dance, getting the party going with the right music, mixing in some Bollywood pop/
hip hop to get folks out on the dance floor. A good number of my friends came down from Portland, and they all commented that a DJ there would not have had the sense to bring Indian pop, much less play it. I can’t imagine when I would need a DJ again, but if I did I wouldn’t even bother looking around next time, I would just ask if Chris could do it.”
-Connie Keys, Mother of the Bride, Flood Mansion, January 29, 2011“I didn’t know your email so I’m sorry this is late. I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate that you were able to DJ our daughter’s wedding. WE continue to get HUGE compliments on how great you were. The dance floor was hopping all night thanks to you. My biggest concern is
that most people wouldn’t dance. I know my family is a little crazy and would get out there but I didn’t know about the rest of the guests. It was great to see everyone out there having a great time. Including the photographers and my 80 year old mother!”
-Cami Bangasser, Odessey Restaurant in Granada Hills, December 18, 2010“Thank you very much! Our wedding reception was wonderful and ran smoothly, largely due to Chris! It was pouring rain and I was stressing out, as our timeline was completely pushed back. Chris spoke with the photographer and helped adjust the evening to make sure that I had everything I wanted. He is a fantastic
DJ, I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty. Everyone I spoke to told me what a great time they were having and how impressed they were with our DJ. He helped make our reception a great party and very memorable. My younger sister is getting married this fall, and I am recommending Chris to her! Thank you for everything!”
-Michelle Siegal, Geosyntec Consultants, Bellevue Club, December 11, 2010“Thank you so much for the fantastic work your company did at our Holiday Party at the Bellevue Club. Chris Mowery was so professional and upbeat. He interacted really well with the audience. We liked the music he played, and appreciated how Chris kept our event on track by announcing speakers and our baby photo naming contest. Chris helped make our event a big success. What a pleasure to work with him!
The Photo [Bar] was a big hit, too, and the photographer did an excellent job with taking great photos of everyone.
It was such a positive experience working with your staff. Even in preparation for the event, your office staff got our paperwork together quickly and answered all our questions promptly and in a friendly manner. We will most certainly us Denon & Doyle for future parties.”
-Christina Yasi, Heather Farms Lakeside Room, October 30, 2010“Chris Mowery DJ’d our wedding last night, and he was amazing. He juggled my annoying music requests with all my drunk friends wanting to sing karaoke, and kept everyone on the dance floor. More importantly, he was a voice of reason and made the night much less stressful for my husband and myself. He was
kind of a DJ/day-of wedding coordinator/psychiatrist all rolled into one. The night was perfect, due in large part to everything Chris did.”
-Todd DeVries, Marines’ Memorial, October 15, 2010“I really can’t say enough about Chris. He was AWESOME! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ or a better experience with him. He was great. He was the first person to meet us at the reception, and helped us out the whole night, without being in our faces. I honestly felt, and still
feel, we couldn’t have gotten a better DJ anywhere in the world for our night. He treated all the guests great, helped out where needed, and of course, played rockin music all night long. If he didn’t tell you, he even helped me purchase SF Giants tickets to World Series Game 6 over the internet with his laptop. I don’t know if that was in his contract or not, but it was sweet!!!!! Definitely a story to remember about our wedding day. Again, I can’t say enough about how much we liked, appreciated, and enjoyed having Chris at our wedding. He helped us relax when we first got to the reception, kept everyone dancing and having a great time, and helped the B&G get to where they needed to be every step of the night. He was nothing short of fantastic.”
-Christine Nakahara, Joy Luck Palace Restaurant, October 2, 2010“I wanted to let you know that craig and I were both delighted with Chris. He was phenomenal and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He was very professional, organized and helped to make things go very smoothly. Everyone let us know that they had a wonderful time and one of our younger
guests (maybe around 14) let us know that she had a great time because we “actually played good music”. Chris was really spot on for the night and made our reception very memorable. Chris made us feel at ease and we knew that we could relax because he had everything under control. Thank you again for all the hard work and for making our reception great!”
-John Praffrath, Marine’s Memorial, September 26, 2010“Chris was very professional and exceeded our expectations. We wanted the wedding to move along with no long stalls and he executed perfectly. All of our guest loved the games Chris suggested and couldn’t stop raving about Chris. Our friends that are already married were kicking themselves for not selecting a DJ from Denon & Doyle. I bet you get some business out of this.”
-Tina Duncan, Postino Restaurant, September 25, 2010“We were very impressed with Chris. He kept our wedding flowing smoothly and made sure we didn’t have to think one bit! Everyone had a great time and I will recommend you guys to all my newly engaged friends!”
-Sandi Lutsko, Private Residence, September 11, 2010“I already sent a note to Chris directly but you too, deserve to know what a great job Chris did. Just like you said at the showcase, your dj’s fill in where there is a need. Chris was right there to help out the other vendors, he got us drinks plus he set up the
speakers and audio perfectly and thoughtfully in both the ceremony site and the reception site. He was seamless, professional, personable and we loved having him there. He needed no instruction as to what to do or where to do it and we knew we could leave him to do his business and rely on him to do his part. Thank you to all of you for participating in Sara and Steves wedding. BTW, I am the mother of the bride. I forwarded this email to Sara and Steve also.”
-Marisa Borruso, San Francisco City Club, September 4, 2010… and more from the Bride
“OH MY GOSH! Chris was seriously THE BEST! From the second we booked him at the wedding preview, we knew he was going to be awesome; not only that, each time I was in contact with him, I got more and more excited because he managed to outdo himself everytime. When we met with him, I felt like him and I were totally on the same page in terms of music, and I felt so at ease knowing he was going to be the one kind of running-the-show at the wedding. When we couldn’t think of songs to be introduced to, I put it in Chris’s hands, and he rocked it – myself and Steve and the entire wedding party haven’t stopped talking about perfect and fun his song choices were! And even all the adults loved the music! He did an excellent job of gaging the audience, I have actually had two adults who are planning other events ask me how we found you guys…so maybe you have a couple more clients! Anyway, please pass this message along to Chris, he was fantastic! Thank you for all you have done for us – the wedding was a perfect sucess!”
“Chris was AMAZING! Seriously, he was the best and exceeded all expectations.”
-Tobias “Toby” Curl, Casa Real, August 29, 2010“We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job that Chris and Abe did for our wedding! Chris was absolutely amazing, not only as a DJ and Emcee, but also as a person who was there to get us whatever we needed at any given time…even when we didn’t think we needed something. Chris was just in the right places at the right times and it just speaks to his experience in the industry. We have nothing but good words for your company and the employees and have received a lot of compliments from our guests and wedding party about how friendly and professional both Chris and Abe were. The pictures turned out great and everything was just perfect. Chris definitely has a unique ability to adjust things on the fly and just knows when certain things should happen to make the most impact and getting the crowd invovled. While Michele and I didn’t get a whole lot of dance time (because of pictures and other stuff) the pictures we saw of our guests showed us a lot and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Thank you again Brian and please extend this email to both Chris and Abe. We got extremely lucky to have them both on board for our night and we definitely couldn’t have had the “dream” wedding we’ve always wanted without their assistance. Thanks again!!”
-Brian Addington, Meadow Club, August 21, 2010“Chris was absolutely amazing. He was certainly the best wedding planning decision we made. Extremely helpful and informative. He thought about everything and was prepared before it happened. This guy is phenomenal!”
-Dan Transue, Hacienda De Las Flores, August 15, 2010“Everything was truly perfect, dont think it could have gone any smoother. Chris was awesome and such a big help working with Heather and I to keep the night on track. Compliments to Chris and Denon & Doyle, first class all the way!!!”
-Jay Jordan, Pacific Athletic Club, August 14, 2010“Chris was absolutely incredible. I cannot even express how comforting it was to know that he was keeping everything running smoothly and that whenever I needed anything I could ask him. People from the venue would come up and ask me questions and I could just say, “umm…I’m not sure. Ask Chris.” That was a godsend. 🙂
Everyone I have talked to as said it was the best wedding/reception they had ever attended. The games were fun, the dancing abundant, and everything just felt as if it effortlessly fell into place (and I know it took a lot of effort to give off that impression). We will always recommend your company and Chris to anyone and will not hesistate to hire you guys again for future events.”
-Kari Stone, Vine Hill House, August 7, 2010“Chris was amazing! After our ceremony, he showed up at our pictures with glasses of wine for us and was directing the tray-passing servers to us as well. He did such a great job of keeping us comfortable and letting us know the timeline of things without getting us stressed. He read our and our
guests’ music tastes with perfection and our guests absolutely loved the game he did with us. We’ve been getting calls from family and friends for the last couple of weeks with rave reviews about our wedding. When we set out to plan this wedding, our #1 goal was for our guests to feel that this was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to, and with Chris’ help, it certainly worked!”
-Janet & John, Blackhawk Country Club, July 31, 2010“Chris was awesome, awesome, awesome! We loved him and so did everyone else. He kept the night moving smoothly. He knew exactly what the crowd responded to and when to play it. He did an amazing job coordinating with the vendors. He had everything under such control that we trusted that he would keep us on schedule and didn’t have to think twice about anything. We would hire him back in a heart beat for any future events. We are leaving for our honeymoon in a couple of hours and the one thing left on my list before leaving today is to send him a thank you note with more tip because he really deserves it. We are so glad Chris was our DJ for our wedding!
I will post a message on Yelp because that’s what we researched in identifying a dj and found it helpful. Also, one other item Chris did and we really appreciated is he downloaded music we wanted and forgot about and did so on the spot, ie Irish songs for the family. He rocks!
Thanks for checking in and there is absolutely nothing he could improve upon – he was great.”
-Kim Wong, San Mateo Marriott, June 12, 2010“Yes, the wedding was amazing! Chris was wonderful! Everyone commented on how great he was, not just at being a DJ, but he went above and beyond our expectations from giving tips to our best man and maid of honor before their speeches, to getting drinks for everyone in our wedding party. I cannot rave
enough at how great he is. We will definitely be recommending Chris and Denon & Doyle to everyone we know. By far, you were the best vendor to work with throughout the wedding planning process.”
-Erica Carone, Bridges Golf Club, June 5, 2010“Chris was amazing!!! We love Chris…..he was there making sure Phil and I were taken care of. He made sure the time-line was on time. He has such a great personality for a DJ. Chris got the crowd going with Phil and I playing the shoe game (who is better by using one of each
others shoe) that was great. I am so happy we chose Denon & Doyle as our DJ, you were my first choice and only choice. I will definitely recommend you to my friends who plan on getting married in the future or any parties we plan in the future too.”
-Monica Lilla Gutierrez, The Argonaut Hotel, May 30, 2010“Chris was fabulous, he did an AMAZING job. Patrick and I could not be happier with how well he did things. The music really does make an event, and the music definitely made a difference here. Chris took his job 17 steps further than any other DJ I’ve ever seen. He kept Patrick and I on track and worked perfectly with the hotel staff, and other vendors.”
-Monica Moran, Humphreys, May 22, 2010“Chris!
You were amazing! Thank you so much for helping make our day stress free! I’m so sorry I didn’t get to thank you personally, I was just so exhausted and ready for bed 🙂 but again thank you! I hope to here from you soon! And we’ll definitely be recommending you to some people we know who are soon to get married! Lots of love!”
-Katie McLaughlin, Contra Costa Country Club, March 20, 2010“As usual, Denon & Doyle exceeded our expectations. You are absolutely right….. there is a buzz about Saturday night.
Chris and Tyrone were fantastic and very professional. Chris did an amazing job managing/working the crowd. We were all extremely impressed with Brian as well. He did an awesome job as the auctioneer.”
-Mariah Bradford-Urban, Back Forty, February 27, 2010“The party was GREAT! Everyone LOVED Chris’ music selection. He was playing to ages ranged from 6 years old to 70 years old and EVERYONE was dancing - now that is a successful DJ !!!!”
-Amy Yurick, Palm Event Center, January 19, 2010“Words can’t even express what a WONDERFUL and TERRIFIC job Chris did at our wedding…. he was AMAZING! From waiting on us like we were royality, assiting all our guests while playing fantastic music; he was truely one of the best parts of the evening. Chris’ selection of music was top notch and our guests are still talking about it. Several wedding attendees thought that Chris was part of the Palm Event Center staff and were floored to find out he was our DJ. The overwhelming response from our guests was he was ‘Awesome’ and ‘Where did you find him?’.
Ross and I couldn’t be more impressed with Denon & Doyle from start to finish & we will be recommending your company to all that we know in the East Bay. Thank you for pairing us up with Chris – you did a great job matching our personalities. We especially loved the cd of ‘Our Songs’ Chris made for us… nice touch! ”
-Krista Perata, Diablo Country Club, January 16, 2010“I just need to tell you, Chris did an AMAZING job! He was unbelievable.. he had everything set up and ready to go, the lighting was gorgeous and perfect, the selection of music was perfect. He had the dance floor packed the whole evening. He even “shut” a couple requests down which was great, since they were on the “No Play” list! He keep Jessica and Tommy on the time line without being pushy, and they even called me the next day to tell us how much they loved Chris and the job he did! Jessica loved that he had the time line down and kept everything flowing along without a hitch… they just hated how fast the whole evening went….
Chris was one of, if not the best “purchases” of the wedding…. and I will use him again for our next daughter’s wedding, and will definitely recommend you to everyone I know.”
-Maria Lertora, Hotel Sofitel, December 5, 2009“On the way to work I heard a song used for the entrance of my wedding party and got a flashback of how awesome our wedding was and how Chris was a major factor in making it the night that it was.
Chris was like family. He took care of us like he’s known us for years. He was not only a great dj but a great assistant! Whatever I needed, Chris was there to fulfill my request whether it be to get me a cocktail or kill the spotlights. Whenever I looked over at him, he’d look at me, like “what do you need?”
He’d come up to us and tell us when things were going to happen. For instance he’d say “in four songs, we are going to cut the cake.” That helped so much to get us ready for things and know how long we had to mingle or dance.
I knew Chris had a great personality when I first met him at the showcase. He is so personable and witty. We couldn’t have been happier with Denon & Doyle and the service we received. Chris is an asset to D&D, and we’d recommend him to anyone for their wedding or any function they were going to have. He is professional, gets the job done and is a guy you’d want to be friends with.
Thank you so much for making our wedding a hit! We enjoyed every minute of it. ”
-Stephanie Scott, Terra Event Facility, November 21, 2009“Thank you so much for helping us make Jared’s Bar Mitzvah at Terra a success. Kyle, Chris and the rest of the team did a wonderful job!! We as well as our client were extremely pleased with the DJ/MC and Green Screen services that you provided. Kyle did an amazing job as an MC (
I just can’t believe the energy & dance moves he has! ) and Chris was such a great help ( & has quite a personality!!) with the event flow throughout the evening. The communication between all of you and our events team was great and I really appreciate everyone’s effort to help make this event a success!”
-Jennifer Samson, Crow Canyon Country Club, November 14, 2009“Our wedding was absolutely fabulous. Chris was probably our most favorite vendor. He went completely above and beyond his DJ duties and was there for us in every way throughout the entire reception. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing DJ and MC. Everybody raved about him, and I can’t tell you how happy
Nick and I were with his services. I am recommending him to all my engaged friends AND when I get a minute am giving him a stellar yelp review! I am so pleased with our entire experience with Denon and Doyle and think Chris is the absolute best. Thanks so much for checking in with me. Although I plan on sending Chris a thank you card, please tell him in the meantime that both Nick and I are just ecstatic about the awesome job he did at our wedding.”
– Danyll & Troy Tulowitzki, Sharon Heights Country Club, November 7, 2009“Everything was amazing!!!! Thank you so much for make the night so special… you and your entire team made everything flow so nicely:) Troy and I really loved they way you took care of us… you are a great person and it was a pleasure having you at our wedding. ”
-Stacey Hayward, Blackhawk Country Club, October 10, 2009“We had a wonderful time, Chris did a magnificent job. The room looked beautiful, he was extremely attentive to us throughout the evening and was a lot of fun to have as our DJ. Just wish the night never ended. Thank you for all of your help and tell Chris thank you for us.”
-Chistina Louie, Bridges Golf Club, October 3, 2009“I can not begin to tell you how thrilled we were with Chris on our wedding day. He went above and beyond with everything he did on that evening and completely exceeded our expectations. He is absolutely wonderful and a dream DJ! We have received so many compliments from our guests about him and most importantly all of our guests said they had a lot of fun which we all owe to Chris!
Please thank Chris for everything he did for us. It was a pleasure having him as our DJ.”
-Aric Koshiyama, Hiddenbrooke Country Club, September 26, 2009“Chris was amazing and he performed beyond expectations. Friends and family said our wedding was the best they have ever been to and they all had an unbelievable time!!! Please forward to chris to let him know.”
-Kimberly Coleman, V. Sattui Winery, September 6, 2009“The wedding was amazing and we have no complaints- just great things to say. I am incredibly happy that we decided to go with Denon and Doyle for our DJ. Whenever anyone says anything about our wedding, they are very quick to say that they loved Chris. He kept the crowd entertained and kept me
at ease the entire evening- it seriously felt like we had a second wedding coordinator. He surprised up with a hilarious game that every single guest enjoyed and I could not be any happier. THANK YOU!”
-Ali Novak, Vintage 1870, September 5, 2009“Chris did an absolutely amazing job. He went well beyond the duty of DJ. Everyone keeps raving about how approachable and nice he was throughout the evening. And Dan and I were so grateful that he helped keep us relaxed with a glass of wine as we were courted around to take pictures! From the planning phase to execution we received nothing less than stellar service from you and your team. We are thrilled to have given you the business. Chris is genuinely a hard worker with a professional yet relaxed demeanor and is such a pleasure to be around.
Thanks again for all your help from the team. We are truly grateful and will never forget your efforts. If you need any client testimonials we are happy to help.”
-Monica Barsetti, Casa Real at Ruby Hill, August 29, 2009“Thank you so much for the fantastic job you did at the Barsetti-Plaza wedding Saturday Night at Casa Real. It was amazing. I like how you did the Bride/Groom song right when they walked in and had the crowd engaged by standing around them!!
I absolutely loved the Mother/son song. I know I am prejudiced but I thought it went great. The look on Aaron’s face when he recognized the Sirius into and then started slapping high fives with the crowd was worth every bit of worry I had done.
He actually said, he liked Reba when her song started. I am so glad we chose to go for it and that you were so kind about the change. I felt it said exactly what I wanted to say at that time. Music is so unbelievable powerful, but I guess I am preaching to the choir on that thought.
You have an opportunity to have a strong impact on the special day of the bride and groom and I can tell you realize that and take it seriously, yet make it all seem fun.
The pace you set was energetic/ yet didn’t scare away the older crowd. It looked like you were enjoying your self too, which makes it fun. Breaking up the “traditions”, keeps things moving along and then gets the people out on the dance floor quicker which is more fun for them.
I know the kids booked you way in advance and it was so worth it.
Thanks for contributing to our special day, it made a great occasion just unbelievably perfect.”
-Sandy Travaglino, Italian Athletic Club, August 22, 2009“We had a blast at our wedding and the feedback we received from our guests; it was obvious they did too. The feedback we have received was that Chris was the best DJ they have seen/heard. Chris was absolutely amazing!!! He was soooooooooooooo attentive to the Bridal Party and was so sweet to all of
us. He was always checking to see if we needed anything and made sure that Glenn and I ate - which without him we probably would have passed out from lack of food. LOL. When we spoke to Chris about what we wanted our event to be, we kept saying we wanted a fun wedding with everyone on the dance floor - and boy did he deliver! He performed way above and beyond what we could have wish for or expected. We have had so many people tell us that our wedding was one of the best weddings they have attended - Chris was a HUGE part of that. The games were fun, the music was great, and the energy was amazing. Everyone loved him! We would definitely recommend Denon and Doyle and without a doubt would recommend Chris to anyone looking for an amazing DJ. We are so grateful to Chris for making our day a memorable one for us and for everyone that attendedÉ.for us he is the BEST DJ and one of the NICEST people. Thank you Chris and thank you Denon and Doyle! We will definitely use both again.”
-Beverly Tharp – Photographer from the above event on August 22nd.“Chris Mowery was the DJ on the wedding I photographed last Saturday. He was great! From the moment the limo pulled up and I needed to transition to cover the reception, he helped me at every turn. He also handled the music and games wonderfully, adding a lot to the evening. Without hesitation I can say that he’s the best dj I’ve ever worked with!”
-Paula Tuttle, Presidio Golf Club, August 7, 2009“Thank you! The wedding was great in every way. Chris was wonderful - he kept up with a crazy group of people and the dance floor was full all night. He honored as many requests as he could (especially mine), and was warm and charming - a pleasure to work with and a cool guy.
There were alot of announcements, toasts, etc., and he handled it all so well. I will certainly recommend your company, and Chris as well. I hope he enjoyed it too. Sincerely, Paula (and Butch)”
-lauren Rosemont, Red House Studios, August 2, 2009“Chris did an amazing job and the “buzz” back was GREAT!! We are going to get him a gift for his office from the TEAM that I will get to him within the next couple of weeks. It was a pleasure personally for me to have him there, Wes (my son) just loves him!!!”
-Kathy Marty, Claremont Resort, February 4, 2009“Everything was perfect! Chris is a true professional you should be very proud to have him on your team.”
-Barbara Brooks, Los Altos Golf & Country Club, January 19, 2009“I wanted to take a minute to thank you, Chris and Denon & Doyle, for always being so consistent! Everything was perfect with our holiday party last night. Chris really ‘read’ the crowd and got everyone - from the General Manager to wait staff to the Stables instructors – on the dance floor! The photo booth was a complete hit. I will definitely recommend this to people. I think it adds to a party and really is a great ice-breaker and unique take-home favors.
We look forward to another year of parties with you!”
-Kathleen Collins, Fairmont Hotel, December 16, 2008“Everything went very well. Chris did a great job! Thanks for being able to put it all together so last minute.”
-Debbie Sachawitz, Round Hill Country Club, December 10, 2008“Chris did a fantastic job for our Big Party for Small Businesses. He really got everyone involved and dancing a ton!”
-AnnMarie Arthur, Kelly’s Restaurant, December 6, 2008“Christopher was amazing. I would recommend to all my friends. he was very good at making sure the myself and my Husband were taken care of and my bridal party as well. Also I have received many comments from my guests on how much they liked him and what he did.”
-Christine Balingit, November 29, 2008“I cannot tell you enough how great Chris and Gracie were. We knew we liked Chris right away when we saw him work a showcase, and knew we made the right choice when we met with him at the office.
The wedding reception was a smashing success, thanks to the two of them. They were AWESOME! They were able to read our audience and kept them going! Chris only got the bridal party entrance music that afternoon, but was able to make it work, and flawlessly at that. The centerpiece giveaway was truly priceless, and the shoe game between Ron and I was a surprise but so entertaining and funny! Our bridal party loved Chris, he took care of us all night. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about them, and they found us and kept us in the loop all night.
I will recommend Denon & Doyle to anyone who needs a dj! We have so many awesome memories because of them and for those priceless moments, we cant say thank you enough. We told them so many times that night, but please tell them again.”
-Jennifer Powelson, November 1, 2008“Everything was great!!! Chris really made the event wonderful.”
-Shamika McCracken, Trilogy at Rio Vista, October 18, 2008“Chris was fantastic! Everyone was talking about him to us after the wedding. He did more than we ever could have imagined. Helping with drinks, making sure we had everything we needed during the wedding. The crowd liked him too. We are writing a letter to your company this week and sending it about how
great he was. The bridal party that did the toast also felt more comfortable after he talked to them, and they weren’t so nervous:=)”
-Malaney McCullough, Viansa Winery, October 17, 2008“Chris was awesome, we will recommend him to anyone needing a D.J. for an event. Can’t say enough good things about him. Everyone raved about him and we really appreciate his services.”
-Majid Malek, Viansa Winery, October 11, 2008“Chris was fantastic. He was extremely professional, on the ball at all times MCing the event, and he kept the dance floor packed all night long. We would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for a fun filled and lively event.”
– Jeanette Miller, Private Residence, October 4, 2008“Chris was an awesome DJ. He knew exactly what needed to be done every step of the way. He was well prepared and orchestrated a perfect ceremony/reception. Our family had the joy of attending 4 weddings in 2008 - ours being the last one of the year - we had the best DJ of all!! Thanks for making our wedding special and memorable.
Just wanted to say thank you for making our wedding day “flow” perfectly! You were great about organizing our group and keeping the energy level high! Hope you enjoyed yourself too!!! ”
– Sara Wentz, Martinelli Event Center, October 3, 2008“Everything went very well at our wedding. Chris did a great job keeping everyone dancing, as well as keeping the whole thing moving on schedule. We appreciated all his help and his enthusiasm. ”
– Roseanne Etcheber, Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa, September 27, 2008“Chris did an amazing job and we’re so happy we went with you guys for our wedding!”
– Shannon Nelson, Private Residence, September 24, 2008“Chris M. did a great job with the party! He was all set up already when I arrived on site and he was so helpful while we were trying to set up. I don’t think that helping us open up paper plate packages and putting table cloths on the tables was part of his job
description, but he was a trooper and pitched right in. We really appreciated all of his help.”
– Michelle Miller, Vintner’s Golf Club, September 12, 2008“Chris Mowery did a fantastic job. We were extremely pleased with him and our guests loved him. I want you to know that the day of our wedding we found out that there was not going to be anyone cuing us to start when we were informed differently and Chris stepped up and let us
know we would be getting our cues from him, which was very reassuring. He also went around from table to table making sure all the guests were doing OK and getting them what they needed, such as more wine. He especially made sure myself and my husband were doing OK and refilled our drinks numerous times. He let us know how much time we had left for each event, from introductions to first dance to the cake cutting. I believe he went above and beyond and will look forward to using him again in the future. Thanks again for the fabulous service.”
– Vanessa Gangidino, Quail Inn, September 6, 2008“All I can say about Chris is that he is amazing! He literally made the wedding run as smooth as silk and was a huge part of why we were able to stay perfectly within our tight timeline. Todd and I could not stop talking about him for days after the wedding and how he
was able to hold our hands through every step of the evening. He provided for us exactly what we wanted, a party, inclusive of great music that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! I literally cannot say enough about him – give that man a raise!!! We love him!”
– Kim Erhardt, Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa, August 22, 2008“Hmmm, where do I start… well, Chris was talked amongst everybody as much as they were talking about the bride and groom! I knew when we chose him, he would do a fantastic job… anyone who has met him could guess that, but he surpassed our expectations ten fold.
Holy smokes, he created a fantastic blend of excitement, intimacy, and pure kindness from beginning to end. He read the crowd faster than a speed reader. We had sooooooooo many people ask where we found him, did we tell him to play all that great music, who recommended him… on and on. Dom and I couldn’t stop talking about him on our honeymoon. We thought of how he went beyond his job to accomodate us and how he felt like part of our family. Chris clearly was enjoying himself and that was the icing on our cake.
Thank you again for hiring Chris who in turn we hired. He’ll be receiving a thank you card shortly!”
– Sarah Holley, Hiddenbrook Country Club, August 18, 2008…and more from Kim: “Hi, this is Kim Ercolini (Erhardt) again! I kid you not, we’re are still getting calls and actual thank you cards to tell us how great our wedding was because of our dj. Dominic’s parents and another guest actually thought Chris was the manager until he began to dj. I had to let you know that – he has been mentioned daily since the 22nd of August!”
“I just wanted you to know, that your guys, Chris and Louis, were great! Chris was there early, set up and ready to go. He did such a great job. He then got everything ready for Louis. Louis was amazing. The whole staff loved him and wants him back! He was great, very accommodating, even when we switched something up on him, he immediately took care of it. He even stayed longer than we had requested. As usually, the DJ’s that you send to us are always wonderful.”
– Pam Kasoff, Presidio Log Cabin, August 16, 2008“Thanks Dan. Chris and crew were great. They immediately started chatting the kids up to get a feel for what they wanted. The dance floor was never empty. One Bar Mitzvah to go in 5 years. I’ll be calling.”
– Kelly Scott, Lone Tree Golf Course, August 9, 2008“Chris was our D.J. and believe me when we tell you that we have absolutely no regrets with our choice. Chris was completely professional, but brought an energy that completely matched our crowd. He played great music and took care of the entire wedding party. He was always there to keep us on schedule, but
we never felt stressed or pressured as he adapted to the moment. We had countless compliments on how well the night went and we know it was largely due to the mood that Chris set. You are lucky to have him working for your company and we have already recommended your company and Chris to some of our friends.”
– Teri Wong, Cliff House, August 2, 2008“Chris was above and beyond our expectations. He went out of his way to ensure that we were happy. We would definitely recommend him to our friends.”
– Dylan Turner, Crow Canyon Country Club, July 26, 2008“Chris was great, very on the ball. I can’t think of anything he could have done different or better. I will definitely recommend him to my friends.”
– Terri & Lawrence Levy, Seafood Peddler, July 5, 2008“Okay, it was the most amazing awesome fantastic party I have EVER been to (and, as a guitarist, I’ve done a gi-zillion weddings, etc.) THANK YOU for your organization, your attention to detail, your customer service and flexibility, and Chris’ INSANE ENERGY at the gig! You guys are the best!!! You beat people into hysterical
ecstatic drug-free submission!!! No one walked away without a smile. And I’ve NEVER seen an event where EVERYONE was dancing the Hora! Thank you so much!!!”
– Verrona Gore, Stanford Park Hotel, June 28, 2008“Chris and staff was on top of their game from the time they arrived and made “everyone” feel at ease and involved to the extent they wanted to be. You folks obviously have a joy for what you do and an ability to pull off a lively party for some rather demanding young folks. Our
son and his friends were still vibrating when they got home. It wouldn’t have been the same without you.”
– Michele McDaniel, Martera Banquet Hall, May 24, 2008“Its Michele, Malorie’s mom. I just wanted to say again, how great a job you did at Malorie and Kyle’s wedding!! I have been to sooo many weddings and the DJ is so obnoxious!! You did an awesome job. I remember when they first met you, and they came home saying that their dj was
so cool, and you guys just clicked sooo well. So thanks again for a very memorable evening.”
– Denise Auerbach, Viansa Winery, May 17, 2008“Chris was a rock star on Saturday! I was so happy with the service Denon and Doyle provided. He was so accommodating to the other vendors and he really took a lot of stress off me. We had an officiant who wasn’t very keen on being mic’d for the ceremony and the videographer wanted him to be mic’d as well. Chris was really great at helping me convince the officiant to wear a mic and he worked very well with the videographer to help him get some audio.
During the reception there was 4 or 5 last minute speeches that family members wanted to give and Chris did such a good job at mixing them in and making sure they went at the proper time. The music was great and we all danced the night away. I know Lucy & Ross were both very happy with the night and I want to thank you SO much for providing a great service!
Laura over at Viansa speaks so highly of you and I am so glad I got to see first hand how amazing your company is. I want you to know that I will be thinking of you first the next time I do an event and I will pass the word about what a class act your company is.”
– Emily Mill, Marriott Hotel Walnut Creek, May 10, 2008“Our wedding was wonderful, and Chris had a big hand in that. I was so impressed with how attentive he was to everything. One of my main concerns for the evening was keeping with the timeline, and Chris was great at making sure everyone knew what was going on to keep things moving smoothly. We
were actually ahead of schedule! We had time to do the shoe game, which everyone loved. Chris did a great job of reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor. I will certainly recommend Denon & Doyle’s services to anyone who needs a DJ in the future.”
– Katie Switek, Brazilion Room, April 26, 2008“WOW!!! Chris was absolutely amazing. We wrote intros for our wedding party and had him read them and he did an outstanding job. He was always checking up on the wedding party making sure we were all happy and had drinks in our hands. Every song he played was our favorite song and the best
part was that he was enjoying himself too. My husband and I couldn’t believe how much energy he had at the DJ station. Every time we looked over at Chris he was rockin out. It was so cool. He was so easy to work with before the wedding too. I think we were kind of annoying him by meeting with him 4 times before the wedding, but he seemed to be alright with it. He also changed our slideshow in the beginning which turned out to be awesome. We had no idea which songs to pick for our ceremony and he had great suggestions for that as well. We would definitely recommend Chris to all of our friends. He was perfect!!”
– Katie Fleming, Lafayette Park Hotel, April 19, 2008“Chris did a fantastic job!! He was wonderful. Everyone really liked the shoe game we did, no one had ever seen that and they all thought it was really cute :)”
– Lauren & Jon, Ruby Hills Golf Club, April 12, 2008“Well, Jon and I just got back from our Honeymoon and I wanted to tell you as soon as possible that we are SOOO grateful for all you did for our wedding. I have heard nothing but good things and people raving about how great you were. You definitely made the party and you exceeded all expectations, honestly. You helped in more ways I ever imagined possible and we are so happy that you were apart of our special day. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sue, obviously I wanted you to know as well how great Chris was and how the guests loved him. Thanks again to both of you and your entire staff for helping us so much and all the great ideas you put out there to making our wedding wonderful.”
– Debbie Graziani, Round Hill Country Club, April 5, 2008“Everything went really well we got several compliments about Chris and the way he Mc’d he night. Everyone loved the shoe quiz he did with the Bride and Groom. I guess the schedule was messed up a bit, but in the end, all was well. Thank you, and especially Chris for your professionalism. We will recommend your company to our friends who have children getting married.”
– Mary Colvig, Minna Gallery, March 31, 2008“I am such a cad! I meant to drop you a note. Chris was great and the photo booth was soooo much fun. Everyone loved it!!”
– Laurie Wolf, Blackhawk Country Club, March 14, 2008“Chris Mowery was the perfect DJ for my daughter’s wedding at Blackhawk Country Club. He was always clued in to what we needed and was so helpful. He even tracked down the events person at the Club for me when I needed him. Chris was able to get our staid group moving and shaking.”
– Christina Young, Spinnaker Restaurant, March 8, 2008“CHRIS MOWRY WAS FANTASTIC. CHRIS MADE OUR EVENT ALL THAT WE DREAMED OUR DAUGHTER’S WEDDING TO BE. PROFESSIONAL, FUN, ABSOULTLY DELIGHTFUL. WE CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. WE HAD SOSOSOSO MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY COMMENT WHAT A GREAT JOB THE DJ DID. THANK YOU!”
– Nikki Harris, SF Airport Marriott, February 16, 2008“Chris, the DJ, was awesome! He played great music and was very professional. It was a pleasure working with your company and I will definitely keep you on my list should we be in the San Francisco area in the future. Thank you! ”
– Sherry Maramag, Concord Crowne Plaza, December 7, 2007“If you haven’t already heard, everyone had a good time. Chris was great! Very personable. We will definitely keep you in mind for any events we may have in the future!”
– Ashley & Chris, V. Sattui Winery, Ocober 20, 2007“We just got back from our honeymoon and yes, the reception was wonderful. Chris was absolutely perfect on the music and interaction with the crowd. It was all done so well. You will be our recommendation to our friends and family in the bay area for upcoming events. Thank you again for the help and planning of the event, and thank you Chris for doing such a wonderful job!”
– Michelle Boren, Bridges Golf Club, October 6, 2007“The wedding was fabulous! Chris was absolutely amazing! He played great music, had great interaction with the crowd, and was such a gentleman! He was helping out so much with all the little things which exceeded all my expectations. He was always offering to get drinks for people, making sure everyone was ok. At the
end of the night I was pleasantly surprised when he handed Marc and I a CD of some of the hit songs of the wedding! That was so sweet and Marc and I absolutely loved it. I will without a doubt be recommending Denon & Doyle to my friends, and of course Chris in particular. You all were such a joy to work with and I wish I could do it all again!!! One thing I will tell you (positive feedback)…I was sold on you guys from the beginning when my mom and I went to the seminar/info night thing that you put on. That was sooooo helpful and that right there showed me what a great company Denon & Doyle is. I didn’t even look into any other options!!”
– Susan Popik, San Francisco City Club, September 29, 2007“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the great DJ’ing at our daughter’s wedding last Saturday. As you could see, you kept everything - and everyone moving, from the beginning of the reception to the end. We’ve had nothing but compliments about the whole affair, and we appreciate your contribution.”
– Sandra Dafnis, Menlo Circus Club, September 1, 2007“Chris, Thanks for the wonderful job you did for us at the Menlo Circus Club Saturday. You were a great DJ and kept the party going. We all loved your shoe game. We heard so many comments of how cute it was… thanks that added touch and being the door bouncer for the photographer early on when we arrived. Thanks again for the great party…”
– Amanda Hammer, Marriott-Napa, August 25, 2007“Let me just say, Chris was the best! I could not have asked for a better D.J. I will be recommending your company to all of my friends and family. Chris was extremely professional, courteous, and very helpful with all the details. If Chris ever needs a referral just send them my way and I
have no problem recommending him….the showcase was very informative and fun as well. It was well worth the trip and the tips that were given were very helpful”
– Janet Johnson, Murrieta’s Well, August 17, 2007“The reception went just beautifully. Chris did an amazing job of keeping things flowing, flying under the radar (!) and playing all the right songs. He was wonderful. We couldn’t have been happier with Chris and Denon & Doyle. I sent him a thank you, but should have thought to give you some feedback as well. Thanks for making it a very special night for them, and us.”
– Julie Ford, Pacific Athletic Club, August 11, 2007“Natalie and Andy’s wedding was absolutely wonderful in every way. The feedback on Chris at the reception was GREAT. People said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! He played all the right music, kept things moving, but was really in tune with what our crowd liked. We loved how he
had the guests circle the dance floor for the dances, and Natalie and Andy loved the “shoe game.” He truly exceeded our expectations and did an absolutely fabulous job. We would be happy to serve as a reference any time. You guys do great work and we will recommend you in the future.”
– Selena Arriaga, Private Residence, August 4, 2007“Chris (DJ) was just wonderful – a great DJ. He totally played the songs we requested and took initiative to choose a song for the bridal party (since I had no ideas). Not to mention, he burned a copy of our wedding songs which was really a nice touch. And the newlywed game was a
lot of fun too. Our guests spoke about that all night long. I am so happy I went with you guys!”
– Nacito & Arlene, Arden Hills Country Club, July 28, 2007“Everyone including us really thought Chris was awesome..! When things were a bit hectic Chris came over to us and served us water and wine just to make sure we we’re doing well. We thought that definitely showed what kind of person Chris was and how classy & very caring he was. Also, not only
did he played most of all the songs we requested but really set the tone on how our wedding reception went. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who really is looking for a great and caring DJ. We had a semi-traditional Filipino wedding w/ 20 sponsors and most everyone wore the traditional Barong Dress shirts and he came over to us & stated “why didn’t you guys tell me they were going to wear Barongs”? “I could gotten one just for you”. We thought that was again, very caring and thoughtful for him to suggest that. We are very glad to have gone to one of your open house and got to know Chris and his personality. We would highly recommend Denon & Doyle and especially Chris to anyone wanting to have a great time at a wedding instead of the same boring ones we have attended in the past.”
– Michelle Martorana, Limm Gallery, July 21, 207“This is not your official thank you yet. We just couldn’t wait to tell you all what a fabulous team you made! We were so impressed with everyone and received compliments on absolutely EVERYTHING. It was such a pleasure to work with you all. We hope we will have an opportunity to refer you to others! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
– Aimee Buetzow, Bancroft Hotel, June 30, 2007“it was awesome, Chris was great, please thank him for us! we will be happy to recommend denon and doyle to friends. thanks!”
– Kim Fredrick, Viansa Winery, June 17, 2007“I just wanted to say that Chris was amazing!!! He went over and above.”
– Abram McMickin, Merchant Exchange, February 18, 2007“We just returned from our honeymoon. I wanted to thank you for all of the assistance you gave us for our event. Chris did an absolutely fabulous job. We had so many compliments on his work and passed his name along to a few of our guests that have upcoming nuptials. I am glad you
enjoyed our video. As you can imagine, we had so much fun making it. Give Chris our best and hopefully we will be seeing you in the future!”
– Wallace Enterprises, Shadelands Art Center, December 15, 2006“Thanks so much Chris for keeping the guests on their feet dancing the whole afternoon.”
– HKIT Architects, Trader Vics, December 9, 2006“Beverly, Chris and Racquel were outstanding! Fun and professional.”
-Laicee Fuller, Vintage 1870, November 11, 2006“Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend you to my friends in the future!”
-Wayne & Gina, El Cerrito Eagles Hall, September 23, 2006“Everything went extremely well! We have no complaints whatsoever and as such, no recommendations for better service. You guys certainly know what you are doing. Chris did an excellent job, especially taking into account on how late we delivered the information he needed. We have already received positive feedback from a few of the guests
that we have spoken with since returning from the honeymoon in regards to the performance of Denon & Doyle.”
– Marisa & Matt, Pleasant Hill Community Center, August 12, 2006“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful DJ job. Chris did a fantastic job and when things started to fall behind schedule, he took control and helped the night run smoothly! Chris also played the perfect assortment of music! Thank you so much and if anyone I know is ever
looking for a DJ I will be sure to tell them what an awesome job you did at my wedding. Thank you so much!”
– Cheryl Mannion, Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club, July 29, 2006“I thought it was awesome and would use Chris again in a heartbeat, he was fun and nice and kept the dance floor full!”
– Janie Richardson, Liberty High School, June 9, 2006“The guys, Chris and Kyle did a FANTASTIC job. We are planning to book for next year with Denon and Doyle and request the same two gentlemen.”
– Nelson Chan, Kohl Mansion, May 6, 2006“Everything went great with the wedding and Chad and his Chris did a great job. I didn’t have to help them out with anything as they knew what was going on.”
-Victoria Bologna, Concord Hilton, September 18, 2010“Dear Chris and the Team at Denon & Doyle: Thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding so special! Denon & Doyle was the first vendor we found as we planned our wedding! I still remember attending the evening mixer and realizing that we’d found the right DJ/MC! From the beginning,
we appreciated the professionalism and helpfulness of the team at Denon & Doyle. Most notably, we appreciated the help and enthusiasm of Chris. The DJ/MC of a wedding is an integral part of the celebration. Two weeks before our wedding, we attended a wedding as guests and found that Chris was the DJ! It was a great chance to see his style and we knew we were in good hands! When it was our turn to plan, he was flexible with his schedule and spent a lot of time with my family working out our timeline and making helpful suggestions. The games were a complete success and made our wedding so unique! During our reception Chris helped make us feel comfortable and our bridal party enjoyed his enthusiasm. We created a full timeline with several song requests and Chris helped to capture the best of them. The Italian traditions that we wanted to incorporate were welcomed and Chris helped to incorporate them in an elegant and fun way. I intend to follow up my letter with reviews on various websites including: weddingwire.com and yelp. Once I get my photos, I will coordinate a big thank you to my vendors and post it on Facebook. Please feel free to use any of the reviews as testimonials on your website! We’d be honored! Thank you again for everything! You helped make our dreams a reality and the friendly and helpful way that the Denon & Doyle team, especially Chris, took care of us was superb!”
-Bobby Baksa, Bridges Golf Club, November 2“We had such a wonderful experience with D&D, from beginning to end. To start, the showcase that you guys offer is great. An excellent idea that we found very useful. We used a lot of ideas from that on our big day. Then, the owners were so accommodating and extended us the 24 light package for the price of the 10 light package because of our off season wedding date.
As for Chris. He’s the best. We didn’t get the chance to talk to him at the showcase, but booked him on his reviews alone. And boy were they right. Not only was he very approachable, responsive, helpful and reliable, but he was so thoughtful on the day of the wedding. I felt like he was my maid of honor! He held our drinks while we took photos, he filled up our glasses, he walked us thru the whole cake cutting and constantly checked to see if we were OK. And I haven’t even gotten to the music part!!! Our wedding was one epic dance party. Thanks very much to Chris. He started with hits from the 60’s to include the older crowd and by the time he started playing the top 40 they were hooked and never left the floor.
All in all, I would recommend Chris to any one for any event, but especially to any couple getting married. He not only made me and Bobby so comfortable and calm, but all of our bridal party and our parents. That’s big.
So thank you for everything that you, your company and your staff did to make our wedding so wonderful. We sincerely appreciate it. Good luck and I hope to see you at future events.”
-Neil Kee, The Flood Mansion, April 16, 2011… and from Janey Brazil, Mother of the Bride…
“I just wanted to give you a heart-felt thanks for the wedding last weekend. You really took the best care of Shannon. After talking to you before the wedding about you being able to cue her for her walk, she was much better. She was so frustrated with the Round Hill people she wanted to cancel the venue, (not the wedding). After talking with you, she felt so much better, so thanks for that! Your DJ skills were outstanding and everyone loved the shoe game. So many people came up to me and complemented your DJ services. Shannon is in Tahiti for 2 weeks so she is out of touch, no wireless and the internet is VERY expensive so they are staying clear of the computer except for emergencies. I just wanted to touch base with you and say thank-you for everything. You couldn’t have done a better job! (I know you probably are so busy and don’t need any more business but I would strongly recommend you to anyone getting married!)”
“Things went great! We pretty much went through the entire day without any hiccups! I would like to say, Chris did such an amazing job! We are absolutely thrilled with what he did during the day. Not only was he our DJ, but he was getting us drinks, making sure things were on point, etc. He was also very engaged with the crowd and was showing some energy! We could not have been any happier with our choice in DJ and DJ company. Thanks again for anything and D&D will be the first thing off our tongues when people ask for any DJ advice!”
