I was an extremely happy Bride on my wedding day!
Marty was brilliant, he had all the random music choices that I wanted for the ceremony and intro music. And he kept the dancing going with a brilliant set list. The lights were minimal (which is what I wanted), and did the job, not too distracting and set the mood perfectly.
He was very adaptable with some parking issues, adapting him and his equipment to a smaller vehicle to make finding parking in NYC easier.
My one problem is overshadowed by his brilliance at the Wedding. But it took a bit of time to hear back from them. And that, I know is a problem for me, because I understand 2Dog is a busy bunch, but I am a little bit of a control freak.
BUT, they come highly recommended. Just take a breath and know that Marty, Diana and their team have got it covered.
2Dog made the entire wedding process so much easier. They have a website that let us log in to our own private account, listen to songs, view suggestions and save selections to our profile, we could even save songs to a do-not-play list. On the day of, Marty set up the ceremony microphones last minute without hesitation when our other plans fell through and helped us stay organized every step of the way without ever coming across as bossy or interfering with the natural flow of the party. Marty and the 2Dog team were even better than we could have imagined, we are so lucky to have found them. The best way to describe them is this: our nephew literally danced his socks off, leaving the dance floor with more foot showing than sock!
I have to give a big shout out to 2dogentertainment-they made my sisters wedding, SO-MUCH-FUN! As maid of honor I was in charge of the girls dresses, the shower, favors, and I volunteered to handle the DJ because my sister and her fiance were swamped with work at the time. Lily gave me the name and number to contact 2dogentertainment, and I was so impressed by how personal they were, how nice everyone was, and how organized and helpful they are. I was embarrassed that I put about 50+ songs on our request list (we asked everyone in the bridal party to give us their top 2 favorite songs...and everyone gave about 5 or 6!), but the DJ handled it like a pro. I planned the whole party with their online tools (which are TOTALLY AWESOME!!!) and we did our consultation online over skype (again so impressed with them and so glad I didn't have to take a trip out to do another wedding meeting). They listened to everything I told them about the type of music my sister, and her fiance wanted, what kind of music the bridal party wanted to hear, and what music would make my mother, father and my grandmother happy. They handled every suggestion so well and I really felt like they personalized the entire night's music to what we wanted. The assistant that is included is like a wedding coordinator-I swear she did more than my sisters maitredee did-she was awesome. Love these guys, I told them I would write a review for them, but really I am writing to tell all brides to go ahead and feel good about picking this company as their dj. Two of my sisters bridemaids are getting married next year, and have already booked them for the wedding. All of the moments were perfect for my sister, and all of her guests had so much fun! the very best dj company-more than you can imagine.
We got married last spring and I can't tell you how great our reception was. 2Dog was super nice, professional, and the music sounded better than I thought was possible at a wedding. I reccomend them
Diana and marty at 2Dog were very involved in helping us organize our music ideas and needs as well as providing tons of advice for all aspects of the wedding. When we previewed the reception room, their lighting was SOOOOO beautiful. Marty was our DJ and he handled the music seamlessly. The sound was great and really kicked our dance set into high gear. Clearly they know what their doing. If you're looking for a DJ, you can stop with 2Dog. They are worth every cent.
To say our wedding was a good party, is an understatement.My wife originally had the night scheduled out with our caterer, but when we showed it to 2dog during one of our planning meetings, they made a few suggestions to allow for more dancing, and celebrating. We were definitely excited by their suggestions, as we didn’t want our wedding to feel ‘stuffy’. Boy were they right on! Nobody wanted to sit the entire night. The music was fantastic. They are total experts at what they do. Even my mother and grandma can’t stop talking about how much fun they had, and how beautiful the lighting around the room was-You knocked it out of the park 2Dog Entertainment. Thank you from me and the Mrs. We’ll be calling you again for all our parties. Thomas and Terry
If you want vendors that care, go with 2Dog Entertainment! Our wedding venue was completely flooded and unfortunately our wedding needed to be postponed this past Saturday, until the following day. The venue had not told us this, and I suppose the venue was trying to get things back in working order before our wedding, but were not up front about any of the details, and never returned our calls! We were of course freaking out! At the very last minute, they called and told us that they had to postpone until the following day! Can you imagine the chaos involved with calling 150 guests?? The venue was thankfully able to host our wedding at a nearby catering hall, which allowed them to lease the space. It was a beautiful wedding, but not all of our vendors cooperated on the date switch during this disasterous time. Our photographer was booked the following day, and would not refund any portion of our deposit, nor helped with recommending another photographer. My husband’s uncle took the photos! Luckily the florist was able to deliver the same flowers the following day-although they wanted to charge us hundreds more for a 2nd delivery and a ‘change of venue fee’ even though they did not make the 1st delivery, and the other venue was 3 miles away and could not be helped due to a natural disaster. 2Dog Entertainment although was hit hard by the storm and had no electricity for over a week in their areas, BUT came out in full force on Sunday for my wedding!!! Almost the entire team came to make sure things ran smoothly. They were the 1st vendor on site and they seriously solved problems for us that we didn’t think the DJ would even handle. They are amazing, caring people. I will promote them to everyone. It is rare to find a business that cares this much. And they did a terrific job with the music, lights, top to bottom. Thank you!!!!!
All of the members of 2Dog Entertainment are professional and caring. They go out of their way to make sure attention is paid to detail. They didn’t miss a beat on the day of our wedding, and every featured moment was executed perfectly. I was concerned that we didn’t hire a wedding planner, as we had a lot of moments to coordinate, but because 2Dog Entertainment was so invested in making everything perfect for us, we didn’t wind up needing one. They even helped my sister n law get up the courage to give her speech (she is terrified to speak in public) and it was one of the best highlights of the night. They are a class act.
The music was really important to us. We knew that if everyone had a great time on the dance floor, they’d remember our wedding as a really fun time. All ages were on the dance floor all night, it was a real party thanks to 2Dog Entertainment. We checked out about 10 DJ companies before we chose them, and we made a great decision by picking them. They took care of all the details with our venue, and we didn’t have to think about any details on the day of. If you’re on the fence, hire 2Dog Entertainment-they’re amazing.
We couldnt be happier with 2dogentertainment. they went above and beyond everything they promised us, and the wedding wouldnt have been a party without them, and jeez, the lighting was killer. They know what they are doing!
we are simply impressed and blown away by the way they run their company. The service was hands on, personal, and we always felt that they were available to us. You don’t find companies like this anymore; they’re truly wonderful people, and they care about their clients. my wife and I loved that we could pick whatever music we wanted, and it was a blast to ‘talk shop’ with them-they know their music. We will call them again and again for our parties.
We LOVE 2Dog Entertainment-they did a wonderful job entertaining all of our guests, and truly helped us organize the entire wedding. Their online planner was my ‘bible’ for a few months-we were able to note the times of all the activities throughout the night. They actually printed it out to give a copy to the venue, and discussed the details with our Maitre’d. Everyone was on the same page, and everything flowed beautifully. We went with the gold package- the assistant was well worth it. When we found out how much the assistant took care of, we decided to not hire a day of coordinator.
We definitely recommend them to other couples. They should charge twice what they do. Seriously (even though I’m glad they don’t)
The staff at 2Dogentertainment truly know what they are doing. Masters of their trade, they are not only top notch djs, they are professional musicians and really KNOW music. In addition they know what they’re doing on the technical side of things as well, and are able to explain it to layman like me, without making me feel foolish. We loved how easy it was to plan the entire wedding online. We did 90% of it on a Sunday afternoon in our pjs. They are just in the business of making things easy for you, and seem to actually love what they do. Cool people to work with- big thanks from us!
We paid for our own wedding, and did all the planning ourselves. I asked friends and family for recommendations for wedding vendors, as we only wanted to go with recommendations. We have been to several other weddings in the last 2 years, and never liked how cheese-y the DJs were. My boss recommended 2Dog Entertainment. She told me they were great to work with, professional, and would have everyone on the dance floor all night-thank you Shiela!! If you are searching for a reliable company, they are so great to work with, and really made the wedding feel like a party without being cheese-y. They played what we wanted to hear and everyone had a ball the whole night. They let us pick songs, and really wanted to know what kind of music we listened to. Definitely made us feel like it was customized just for our taste. The lit up my whole reception room in a gorgeous color, and the dance floor lights were just perfect. These guys are true pros. Can’t thank you enough!
simply perfect-thatis all I can really say. The whole process with 2Dog ENtertainment was perfection, so nice, so much fun, just perfect. we'll call them again for sure
thought 2dog was great. really easy to work with-my wife loved their online event planner because it kept us organized
i just thought they played terrific music at the wedding
we were very happy with them-very cool guys
Of course like every other couple out there, we loved our wedding and thought it was fabulous. It was last weekend, and the first review I had to write was for our DJ!! 2Dog Entertainment! They were AMAZING! We're writing this review literally on our Honeymoon, because we are so grateful to them! We hired 2Dog Entertainment for our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception-and they made the entire wedding weekend a hit.
It was really really important to my fiancé and I to have guests on the dance floor at the reception-we've been to many weddings where not many danced, and they were so boring. We talked about it at our meeting with the 2Dog team, and they couldn't have been more WONDERFUL! They listened to every single song suggestion, and not only was the music perfect, the DJs were so awesome! Professional, dressed well, on time, and not cheezy!
Every one of our guests commented on how great the music was all night, (our grandparents, and our friends) and EVERYONE DANCED ALL NIGHT LONG!
I should also mention the uplighting was incredible! Totally made the flower centerpieces and the decor look even better.
We hired them last minute to do our rehearsal dinner as well, and since they were free on that Friday night they cut us a great deal. It really helped liven things up to have some great music during the rehearsal dinner party as well. My uncle is hiring them for his daughter's Bat Mitzvah in July-and 2 of my newly engaged friends will probably be calling them as well. Had to post some love for 2Dog Entertainment, they were a highlight of the night!
