Chad Dowling Productions

orate our Jewish culture and even play some of our psych-rock faves, plus the odd request from our parents. It was a tall request! Chad handled it like a champ and created a playlist that checked our boxes and got everyone on the dance floor! When working with Chad, it's apparent that he had an enormous knowledge of music and DJing, as well as the intricacies of events and hosting. He had so many great suggestions and understood what we wanted and more! He even incorporated our weird sense of humor into our playlist. For example, we mentioned in our wedding vows a joke about rickrolling, and he added Never Gonna Give You Up to our playlist! It was amazing! At the last minute, we found out that our venue would be less involved in the day of coordination than we had previously thought. We had recruited some cousins to help, but when we told Chad and his wife/superstar partner in crime, Gretchen, about it, Gretchen stepped up to the plate without missing a beat. She coordinated our processional and the entrance to our reception. It was amazing! It meant so much to us that Chad and Gretchen would go above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect. 11/10, we would hire them again. We have nothing but the best things to say about Chad and Gretchen. We know they'll do everything possible to make your event extraordinary and customized to your taste.

party going for us all night! 10/10 would recommend!!

ect with their guests and are wonderful to work with as a vendor!

tify!) There were some sections I didn't have a preference for music so we trusted Chad to do his thing. Chad is super responsive, organized, and a lot of fun! He kept the party going for the entire duration of the evening. Chad and Gretchen arrived to the venue early with plenty of time to set up and get things going before guests arrived. You can definitely tell Chad is passionate about what he does. We are about 3 weeks post wedding and people are still reaching out to us about how much fun they had! Look no further for your DJ & MC needs - Chad is your guy!

here were so many moments where we wondered if anything would connect and if everything was worth our effort. All of those thoughts went to rest once we spoke with Chad and Gretchen. Their knowledge and experience put us at ease as we knew we had the perfect host for our wedding. We filled out a detailed form regarding music selections and smaller details about wedding procedure, and once the wedding day came everything played out as intended. There will always be delays during the wedding day itself, but Chad kept the party going, inserted songs seamlessly to our playlist, and so many guests have told us personally how the DJ is so good. Chad even worked with us to facilitate a more intricate part of our wedding dance, and his light up DJ booth and lights kept the ambiance going all night long! Chad and Gretchen are perfect hosts, and they are good people. If you are on the fence about which DJ to choose for your wedding, you will not have any regrets with them by your side. If they are available for your wedding date, book them 1000%!! Chad and Gretchen helped to make our dream wedding a reality!!!

making it fun all around. Chad DJ'd and MC'd at our wedding throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception until the end of the night. He's great at what he does and has an awesome set up. Gretchen helped assisted throughout, providing cool smoke all over the dance floor during our first dance and was key to staying in sync with our onsite event coordinator and wedding party for the entrance in particular. Stop looking around and work with Chad and Gretchen for your wedding or party!

redibly accommodating to our needs and made our day truly special. Would definitely recommend!

d not recommend him enough.

d reached out to us multiple times during the planning process to check in. He is has an incredible personality that shines when he is interacting with guest. Chad's infectious energy and incredible mixing kept our party going all night! We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had because of our DJ and music! We cannot recommend him enough! THANK YOU CHAD!!

ecause he can't be beat! His package is all inclusive to ensure you have the best experience.

all the details of each moment of our wedding day to a timeline, including the music, which made things seamless and simple. Once we finished adding our details, Chad took care of literally everything else! He is so thoughtful, professional, detailed, and such a blast to work with. On our wedding day, Chad was absolute perfection. He arrived super early to connect with our coordinator and make sure everything was in place and exactly how we wanted it in terms of locations he'd be setup throughout the evening, etc. We didn't have to worry about a thing that day, knowing we were in such good hands with Chad as our DJ. He did an incredible job with everything, going above and beyond for us. He helped emcee throughout the evening, graciously guiding our guests on where to go, what was happening next, etc. And the dance party part of the evening was amazing!!! He got all of our guests to get up and dance the night away the whole evening!! Several guests commented after on how amazing he is. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Chad! You won't regret it :)

or photo booth and this couple assisted us in every way possible. We greatly appreciate their help and suggest every couple to strongly consider Chad and Gretchen for DJ and Photo booth.

nd, kept the crowd hyped, and even facilitated a projector for my dad's surprise power point speech! He is extremely fun and talented and we would highly recommend him for any of your wedding DJ needs.

l expectations. I was blown away by his knowledge, professionalism, and up-beat personality. He did such a perfect job at our wedding - he didn’t miss a beat, kept the party going, and was absolutely fabulous at being our MC. My spouse and I couldn’t be more happy with his work and we recommend him to everyone we know. Chad’s wife, Gretchen, did our PhotoBooth as well and it was so worth the extra $! Both Chad and Gretchen went above and beyond and gave us the perfect day.

with on the wedding day, he setup his equipment, provided wireless mics for the ceremony and was really flexible when plans changed on the day. Overall a great experience. His wife also has a photobooth that all the guests really enjoyed.

to read the audience and keep the dance floor going all night long!

en it came to organizing music! Chad took the time to get to know our personalities and took care of everything!! He came up with the perfect music and helped us pick all the songs for our special moments! He also kept the day running smoothly and was able to set the perfect vibe all day! I truly cannot thank him enough! We even had a slight issue with the sound at our venue, and he quickly took care of everything seamlessly before it could even be an issue! He had such a fun and welcoming vibe and helped keep our guests dancing the night away! We were also so impressed with Gretchen's Photo Booth! She also took the time to get a read on our personalities/ vibe and made such a sweet Photo Booth! After the wedding, she sent us the most amazing photo book with all the photo strips from the day! The day goes by so quickly for the bride/ groom, that it was fun to get to look back and see all the fun our guests were having!! These two are a dream team, and we were so lucky to have them at our wedding!! Planning a wedding can be stressful, but I can honestly say that our group of vendors made everything so stress free! We cannot thank Chad and Gretchen enough!!

rty going all night! He is a delightful human being who played great music, and he's a former radio personality with a great MC voice! He kept our party organized and fun, and we feel he kind of saved our wedding!! Thank you to Chad and Gretchen!!

on’t realize how crucial your DJ is until the day of your wedding. This is the person who sets the tone for your entire event. Your DJ announces everything (first dance, dinner, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc.) and investing in seasoned professionals like Chad & Gretchen are a must! Aside from music, Chad and Gretchen also offer up-lighting services, games, and a photobooth. For our wedding we opted for up-lighting and their photobooth. We honestly couldn’t have been happier. The photobooth was a huge hit with our guests and it’s run separately by Gretchen. Post wedding Gretchen sends you a complete album with all photos and even digital, high resolution copies. It was truly an unplanned and amazing guestbook we didn’t even know we were getting. Overall Chad & Gretchen aim to create a ‘one stop shop’ and they hit it right on the mark. You will not regret booking this DREAM TEAM for your big day!

during our second meeting and he was always available for us throughout the entire process. Selecting the music we wanted to hear was a breeze – and actually quite a bit of fun. Chad also offered up recommendations that fit us and our desired vibe perfectly. As for the main event – Chad just flat out delivered. The music was all perfect, wonderfully timed and everything he did fit together beautifully. The dance floor stayed busy all night with people of all ages. We received many compliments about the music and Chad. We couldn’t be happier with everything he did for our wedding and we wouldn’t hesitate to give him our most sincere recommendation.

a DJ!! Thank you so much for making our wedding amazing.

it and incorporate it into the plan for the evening. He also worked with me to design a non-traditional timeline, and was very flexible when at the last minute we added a video screen/projection rental and threw a video showing into the mix. More importantly, he played all the music we requested in an order that kept the room engaged and moving. Everybody raved about how much fun the dancing -- and the wedding as a whole -- was. Plus, he's such a fun and kind and relaxed guy! Everything about our experience with him was wonderful.

o just put all my trust in them and everything went perfectly. Chad is a total pro and basically knows everything there is to know about weddings. We met beforehand and ran through the flow of the event, and Chad made sure he understood everything I wanted, down to the smallest detail. And then he made sure everything played out exactly as I'd envisioned, without a hitch! People raved about how great the dj was. Gretchen designed a photo booth template just for us, and brought props that were specific to our vibe and theme. She was fantastic and the photo booth was the most popular part of the evening. Multiple guests said it was the best photo booth they had ever seen, and I would have to agree! You get SO MUCH when you book Chad and Gretchen, not the least of which is peace of mind. They are amazing.

eeing and keeping our audience engaged! Gretchen managed the photo booth - This booth is great because the attendant can print a copy of the photo strip for each guest, as opposed to an automatic booth that only prints two or three. Overall, a wonderful, positive experience - highly recommend!

s of fun little extras and flourishes he and Gretchen made the party. We got a ton of compliments from our guests on everything - lighting, music, photobooth, and general fun. Instead of a bouquet toss we did the "shoe game" and Chad was a great host, everyone loved it. Kids and adults both enjoyed the video games (rock band and just dance). The area was very safe and we enjoyed walking along Via Toledo to the many excellent restaurants and shops. Trying to think of another reason to throw a big party in order to work with Chad again :-)

ist was easy and convenient to use. We would recommend using Chad Dowling and Co for music at special events.

ble with everyone. He was very smooth with all the transitions and kept the timeline on track. His equipment was perfect and there were not glitches with any of it. I almost wish we could have another wedding just so we could hang out with Chad again! Trust me. If you want a great, memorable DJ - you want Chad. THANK YOU CHAD!

g party that people will be talking about months after!

hemselves, and was a very cool MC - it felt like it was all about the bride and groom. Several guests commented on how great our DJ was. He's the best!
