love for music and fit it in each section of our wedding perfectly. He kept the party going on the dancefloor all night! Our guests didn't want him to stop playing at the end of the night! Dawson Entertainment has an amazing mirror photo booth, which is completely different and unique to any photo booth I have seen at a wedding thus far. If you are thinking about adding the Mirror photo booth, it is 1000% worth it. I talked with DJ JD before my wedding and had some concerns about timing/ setting up the photobooth because of the unique space I got married at, it was all an open type of room-JD was so accommodating and came early himself to set up the photobooth. This team is seriously amazing and we couldn't be happier with them as our choice to DJ our wedding. If you are thinking about Dawson Entertainment the answer is YES, YES, YES!!

T they have ever experienced at a wedding! We completely agree--he MADE the whole night (as we knew he would :))! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and never left the dance floor! Jason was the reason! His first dance set, right after our first dance, set the tone for the whole night--everyone was up dancing. He did our ceremony music as well, plus our lighting and sound. He creatively mixes songs and keeps the music flowing. Jason pays attention to everything you say--he makes you feel like you are his only client. We are now super fans and could do a commercial for Jason! I appreciated all the time and planning he put into our wedding, starting with the first phone call. His DJ planner spreadsheet was instrumental in ensuring we were all on the same page--he asks you to fill out a lot of information in advance (plus you can update it as time goes on) and it speaks volumes about his attention to detail. On top of all that, he is a really nice man! It felt like having a family member as our DJ. We can't say enough good things about Jason!

He was extremely respectful of our requests, and made edits to our formal dance songs that I never thought were possible! He made our dream night a reality from start to finish. To top this all off, he also gifted us a framed photo with the sheet music to our first dance song. This is something we will treasure forever, and a gesture that sets him apart from the rest. Thank YOU, Jason, for creating such a fun space all night long - you truly allowed us to enjoy every second of having all our loved ones together under one roof. You were such an instrumental piece of the best night of our lives.

DJ John Cardona was happy to schedule meetings a bit later in his day to help accommodate us. On the big day everything went perfectly! The dance floor was always full, our preferred songs were played, and he did a great job hyping everyone up. We received so many compliments and many guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to -- Doesn't get any better than that! On top of being our DJ, they also handled the up lighting and photobooth. The photobooth tech was a ton of fun while being so helpful to our older guests to help them understand how to utilize the booth. We will treasure our photo guestbook forever and they provided such a thoughtful wedding present we'll also display in our home for years to come.

He pivoted and played to what the crowd was responding to. The DJ commentary was very minimal which left the spotlight on us which is exactly how it should be. A lot of our guests have said to us they don’t usually like wedding music or are not ones to dance at weddings so they were surprised to see themselves on that dance floor! He’s also super relatable and friendly. In our meetings with him leading up to the wedding, he was prepared and knew every song and vibe we were going for.

We received all the photos that were taken from Jason and they are priceless to look back on. We highly recommend the mirror photo booth and the uplighting. Jason had the music and lighting pairing up to each other and it was a vibe!! Our guests have given us so many compliments on how amazing our DJ was after our wedding! Not only is Jason an amazing DJ, he is also an awesome person who gifted us framed music notes of our first dance song. He went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more thankful!

We booked Dawson prior to our venue and worked around his availability from there. He was our one non-negotiable. He didn't disappoint! The feedback has been electric, from "that was the best wedding ever" to "you guys throw a heck of a party" ...

His ability to read a room and keep the party moving is next level, he did not miss with his track selection, his transitions are too smooth and he was an absolute pleasure to work with all around.

characteristics we took away from him. Jason provided organized questionnaires to help get a feel of what kind of couple he was working with as well as what type of music/atmosphere he was to provide. When the day arrived (July 23, 2022 at the Jonathan Edwards Winery, North Stonington Ct) Jason was attentive to timing as well as details throughout the night. Ceremony music was provided with songs of our choice as well as a microphone for us to read our vows for all to hear. There was not one hiccup from start to finish. We had 188 of our closest family & friends attend our big day, and as soon as the formalities ended and the dance floor opened no one got off it until the last song ended. Our guests raved about how amazing our dj was for the next days to come, they loved the energy brought in by the lighting and music and Are surely still talking about it to this day.

Plus my whole family has somewhat difficult names to pronounce for intros and John didn’t miss a beat!

The first sets were a mix of oldies and classics that got our parents, their friends and our friends up and having fun. Then he transitioned to more upbeat, dancing music. The biggest difference I noticed in Jason vs. other wedding DJ’s or bands was the transitions. Jason, being a nightclub DJ knew how to create transitions that kept everyone dancing and energized. The transitions were what you would hear and expect at an awesome nightclub. I also highly recommend the photobooth! It was so fun and a great extra guest book to have at the end of the night. Everyone had a blast taking photos and I love we get to look back on them.

Jason provided us with an extensive and organized template to help us plan our music throughout the year leading up to our day, which really eased the stress of planning that portion of the night. He answered any questions we had in a timely manner, and took all of our last minute changes in stride (we changed our first dance song and added a few announcements the week leading up to the wedding). The day of the wedding, Jason kept the flow of the night going with ease. All announcements, timelines, and musical selections were made as requested, without us having to monitor or worry about anything. During the dance portion of the evening, Jason’s DJing skills shined. There was never a time when the dance floor was even close to empty. He was able to read the party and incorporate various genres and tempos of music to reach all of our guests. I absolutely cannot wait to see our wedding video to relive the party. Overall, Jason was a wonderful vendor to have on our team. I would recommend him without any hesitation to anyone looking for an experienced DJ for their day.

We have gotten so many comments from guests even weeks after the wedding telling us how amazing our DJ was and how much fun they had dancing. Both of my parents are not huge dancers and they did not stop dancing the entire night. My photographer and videographer both mentioned that it was one of the best dance parties they had seen. One of my guests who was getting married a few weeks after us said multiple people came up to her begging her to book Jason for her wedding as well! Another thing I really appreciated is that we told Jason we did not want to take song requests, and he was very respectful about telling our guests this if they tried to request a song.

perfect job with taking our musical tastes into forming just an epic night of dancing. Also every time I look at the lighting from our wedding I want to cry with happiness because it just made everything feel so magical. Cannot recommend him enough!

We used Dawson Entertainment for the lighting at our fall wedding. We had bistro lights inside, over the cocktail area outside, in the tent where we had dinner and even had the lights extend out past the tent. They looked absolutely stunning! T...
he pictures I have from my wedding are beautiful and that is in large part to how beautiful all the lighting was. I got so many compliments. Can't recommend enough!

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding with Dawson Entertainment last weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier. Jason and his crew from the start were so professional, responsive, and helpful. We not only invested in the Dj entertainmen...
t, but also the bistro lighting and Mr&Mrs Marquee letters that they offer. It was such a beautiful touch to the night, and hands down my favorite part. All of the guests reached out to us boasting about how GREAT the music was. We told Jason was we DID NOT want, and left the rest to him. And he definitely showed up! Everyone danced all night, and had a blast. Dawson Entertainment was open to any last minute changes, and everything was so organized from the start. Jason went above and beyond and left us with such a thoughtful wonderful gift, a framed picture of our first dance wedding song. So thoughtful and touching. You will not be disappointed when choosing Dawson. I promise you will be so thankful you did. We highly recommend and will 100% be using Dawson entertainment in the events to come. Thank you!

Five stars is not enough to rate the absolutely amazing service we received from Jason and his team! In 2018, I was my boyfriend's plus one to his friend's wedding and Jason was the DJ. It was legit the only wedding I ever danced the whole nigh...
t to. He was so good I even asked for his business card (fyi - I was not engaged yet)! When we got engaged last year, my fiancee and I knew Jason had to be the DJ for our wedding. He was our first vendor that we contacted right after we secured our date and venue and it was the best decision we've made. Like most couples in 2020, COVID impacted all our original wedding plans. It was tough. We had to re-plan the entire wedding in less than 3 months. Five days before the wedding we had to find a new rental company due to a miscommunication error. This new company wanted to charge us a ridiculous amount for bistro lighting for our tent. Since we had the uplighting package, my fiancee called Jason to see what other options are available. Jason immediately got back to us and he was able to add on bistro lighting to our package. We are so thankful to Jason for his understanding during such a stressful time - he was a lifesaver! Our guests loved the mirror photo booth! Jason was even able to customize the photo strip to match our wedding theme. Don't hesitate to book Dawson Entertainment for your wedding! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

I wish there were more stars to give Dawson Entertainment! We chose the company based off of reviews and man did Jason deliver! From the very beginning we had nothing but a positive experience- very professional, responsive and organized. We r...
eceived so many compliments and despite having a wedding during a pandemic everyone was still able to safely enjoy the incredible playlist curated for us based off of our personal tastes! Things have been so uncertain during these past few months and Jason worked with us to ensure our day would go off without a hitch. We had to move our wedding outdoors under a tent and we ended up adding more lights out past the tent to cover some of the lawn. Jason was extremely accommodating and flexible to our needs. There is no need to shop around for another DJ and/or lighting needs because you have found everything you would want and more with Dawson Entertainment! You and your guest will not be disappointed!
