Dionne Entertainment, LLC

g so special. DJ Dan helped curate the songs for the wedding ceremony, dinner, and dancing. He matched my energy and we got along so great. I have never had so much fun dancing in my life. He knew how to keep the entire crowd from children to adults of all ages on the dance floor. I cared a lot about the music and DJ Dan was able to take my Spotify playlist and mix it up to exactly match the vibe of our guests. I could not recommend them enough!

an incredible MC. Our dancefloor was a blast with his DJing and all of our guests said they had so much fun and he was the best DJ they had heard at a wedding! Even with our postponement from July 2020 to September 2022, he made the transition feel flawless and kept in touch throughout. We feel truly lucky to have had all of our vendors be so amazing

any questions. After booking, I heard from Paul about five months prior to our wedding. He sent me a questionnaire to fill out going over all the music/emcee details for the day. We chatted about the questionnaire/all the wedding details about three weeks before the wedding, but it probably could have been earlier if I had gotten the form over earlier. I picked out all the songs myself, but I believe they are super willing to help if you’re stuck! During our phone conversation he helped us hone in on all the details. For the actual day of the wedding, Paul made all the announcements I had hoped for and was super flexible/willing to change things last minute. I had to take a couple songs off my “Do not Play” as the older generation was begging for a few select songs, and he squeezed them in. He also squeezed in random requests I kept asking him for. I felt like every 10 minutes I was over there pestering him, but he wasn’t fazed and was so ready to roll with the punches! Because of all the requests, a couple songs on my “Must Play” weren’t played, but that is 100% my fault for having to squeeze in other random songs. Our dance party was AMAZING! The dance floor was going all night, and I heard from so many guests that it was the best dance floor. My only complaint is that during my sister’s speech done with my cousin (they came up with a song that they performed together for their joint speech) my sister’s mic didn’t work, so my cousin seemed to be the only one singing. My sister was a bit sad, as they had spent so much time crafting the lyrics and rehearsing. It was definitely a fluke thing and despite that situation I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dionne Entertainment/DJ Paul for weddings and events. They were a pleasure to work with. Thanks so much Paul!

we were looking for, and, most importantly, made sure that our guests had a blast the day of! He even set up the sound system for our ceremony even though we had live music playing for that portion of the day. We were looking for a pretty laid back DJ and didn't want to do a lot of the traditional wedding things at our reception (no big entrance, no traditional dances, etc.), and we are so appreciative that Dave listened to what we were looking for and just focused on making sure our guests were having fun and dancing all night!

o work with, and quick to respond to questions. The ceremony sound was excellent. Dave played all the right songs, at the right time, set up a wireless mic for our officiant, and set up a standing mic for our readers. The volume and timing were perfect, and Dave did a good job explaining to us ahead of time what to expect. We were a little disappointed by a few things (it's so hard to choose a DJ online, which is the only reason I'm leaving this review): - Dave forgot to make a requested announcement for guests to put away their phones prior to the ceremony. - The cocktail hour playlist looped, so 2 songs were played twice in 1 hour - During dancing, entire songs were played start to finish, which seemed a little weird. I'm not sure what's normal, but I had expected songs to be mixed where 1 song flows into the next. - Dave didn't play a lot of the songs on our dancing playlist. To be fair, I did tell him he could exercise some artistic license, but I didn't realize that would mean replacing Blackstreet, Daft Punk and Glass Animals with Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry. Oh well. - Our guests told us later that none of their song requests were played. Overall, we were happy to have Dave's audio expertise and equipment, but feel that he dropped the ball on some of the details. Everyone has off days though, and most of our complaints were very minor - our guests still had a wonderful time, and we are probably the only ones that noticed any of this. We had people on the dance floor all night.

ke it was about us and the music we liked and our guests danced the night away!

d what we wanted prior tot he wedding, was patient with changes and revisions :), and overall just knows how to manage music for a good party!! We wanted people to be on the dance floor all night long and Rob made it happen!

ent off smoothly. Everything was great! I would highly recommend Dave as a wedding DJ to anyone! Thank you!

d hear everything clearly. We were looking for someone low key and he delivered 100%. During the reception he adjusted his music playlist based on what our guests were enjoying and had everyone on the dance floor the entire time! He was so helpful with helping us set a schedule for the night. All of our guests commented on great he was and how much fun they had on the dance floor! He was professional and a pleasure to work with! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, flexible and top notch DJ!

ance floor and was very kind and easy to work with. Communication leading up to the wedding was great. Would definitely recommend Rob!

long. That meant the world to me and my father. The music was lively and exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend him!

list was perfect, the timing was exactly right, and he kept the dance floor packed all night. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

perience, style, and review details such as do not play lists. Once the wedding began Dave performed flawlessly for the entire event. Whether it was music for the ceremony, announcing events, or introducing members of the wedding party for speeches, Dave nailed every aspect. Once it was time for everyone to start dancing Dave maintained the perfect level of energy to keep the dance floor packed until the night was over. If you are considering going with Dave we absolutely recommend him, and could not have been happier with the job he did at our wedding!

lped in making our music decisions. I would highly recommend Dionne Entertainment for your wedding!

kept all of our guests dancing all night long. He played the best music and so many songs that were important for my husband and I to hear at our wedding! our guests couldn't say enough about Dave. we would highly recommend him for your wedding!

doing and it was apparent during our phone calls and especially at our wedding! He had a lapel mic for our Pastor, and even had dance floor lights (we didn't know that was an option as they were new, what a pleasant surprise!) He's extremely nice, upbeat, and the guests loved him! I'd book him in a heartbeat for our next event that requires a DJ. Thanks Paul!!

lar about when/ what songs were played; with our own requests as well as guest requests. John did a great job getting everything set up for us and executing.

him to play during the reception, he was accommodating and helped every step of the way! Our guests loved the music, but more importantly, so did we! (Also, thank you especially for announcing that the Yankees lost in the middle of the reception, it still brings a smile to all our faces!!!)

e-check on the timeline of the evening so ensure we didn’t miss any dances or other things we had planned. I highly recommend Dionne Entertainment.

emony, cocktail hour, and reception. Everything went as planned and smoothly. We even had a quick change of songs right before the ceremony, and he made sure that it happened exactly as we wanted! We had asked for some specific genres during the cocktail hour and dinner, and with only a small list of our favorite (some obscure) artists, he put together a great mix that had us constantly stopping to say "oh yes! I love this song!". The reception was filled with popular songs that everyone recognized, and he accommodated all of our guests requests so that the dance floor wasn't empty for a single second. He was very friendly and we chatted with him for a while before the reception. He even checked in with us a few times to make sure we were happy. He also has a great voice for radio and we had a lot of fun while he was announcing the wedding party. Thanks Dave for making sure we had a wedding that we wouldn't forget!

erything went smoothly. He knew when to pump the crowd up and how to keep it going. Thanks Dave!

short notice after our initial DJ bailed on us and I couldn't have been any happier with the turnout. I am extremely thankful that I was able to find them!

sonality alleviated a lot of stress in planning the big day! The day-of could not have gone more smoothly. Not only was he our fantastic DJ, but he was our MC, and worked well with our day-of coordinator. He had so many amazing ideas, and was just as excited about our ideas too! I could not imagine how our wedding would have turned out without him! Thank you so much Marcel, and thank you Dionne entertainment for sending us your best!!

ow when songs needed to be changed. All around amazing!!!

rusive, he played exactly the kind of music we were looking for, and he kept the energy, dancing, and all around good vibes going all night. Everyone there had a fabulous time, a lot of people said it was the best wedding they've ever gone to - and Marcel was a big part of making that happen. A friend of mine recommended Marcel, so I was sure he would do a good job - but he vastly exceeded my expectations. Basically, he was phenomenal. I would recommend Marcel without hesitation.

nd fun! He was great at following our list of requests and doing our many family traditions. He also was very flexible and helped us stay on track of our reception schedule that we had planned out and nicely came up to us and checked in with us during the reception. He made sure everything ran smoothly and was great at reading the crowd when picking music. My husband and I never left the dance floor thanks to him! Highly recommend!

to lend a helping hand if we ever needed it – he even helped my mother fix the curtains at our reception when they got messed up! He was clearly incredibly experienced and brought great insight to the table when we were indecisive about the order of events and the song choices. I would highly recommend him for your wedding!

had nothing to worry about! Dave was on point - he was professional, extremely responsive and very easy to work with. Dave made me feel like he had everything under control (which he definitely did!), and instilled confidence in me during the final days of planning. Everyone had a blast on the dance floor and Dave was awesome. I would definitely recommend his team!!!

essional. Highly recommended !!!

k of enthusiasm, we were left wishing we had done more research and chosen a different DJ.

verything was seamless. Including live musicians and our officiant in an outdoor ceremony setting, not easy to make sound good and he did great!! His announcing was excellent, and music choice perfectly combined our requested moods and artists with complementary music that he chose. Everyone was dancing at the reception, and there was an excellent variety of music. He took requests from our guests, and checked in with my husband and I frequently throughout the night to make sure we were aware of the flow and pacing he was facilitating. We would recommend him in a heartbeat! Thank you Marcel!!

ance, cake cutting). He also mixed in a few slow songs during the night which was a nice surprise.

ke "play this song at X time in the evening" and I felt like those songs came on exactly when we wanted them. He was very professional and efficient in getting everyone ready to be introduced and all around we were very pleased to have had him there for our wedding day!

im prior to our wedding and I could not believe how knowledgeable he was. We were super confident that he would be amazing at our wedding and we were correct. Thank you very much, Dave, for making our celebration THAT much better with your energy. And thank you for passing the microphone to a few our our guests to sing...especially my 11 year old nephew! You are THE BEST.

ng over song choices to the very last song he played at our wedding reception. He was incredibly professional and genuinely excited about his job both times that we met with him prior to the wedding day. His confidence and attention to detail made us feel relaxed and comfortable about our big day. Even when I was being indecisive and making changes to song choices the day before the wedding, he didn’t mind at all! On the day of the wedding, he DJ’d our ceremony as well as the reception. He knew exactly how to pump up the guests before the bridal party introductions and kept the energy going the whole night. His original ideas for the bouquet toss and garter toss were the talk of the night and had everyone laughing. Several of the guests came up to us that night to say that it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time – I believe this was mostly due to Paul. He is absolutely fantastic, and anyone who chooses him for their DJ will not be disappointed!

ake sure it would be what we wanted. I didn't have many requests as far as songs go but the music he played was perfect. People have been aking me for my playlist - I've just referred them all to Marcel.

s done. He absolutely was not! I was semi-late to the ceremony, but I heard he handled the processional very well with keeping the song going! He played every single song I requested and kept our guests dancing all night long! I couldn't have asked for a better DJ! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment for any event! Amazing!

great job of transitioning from "dinner music" to "dance music". Dave did and amazing job of making sure the whole night was non stop dancing- just how we wanted it! He was very receptive to all of our input and made the night wonderful.

eping it flowing. He was pleasant to work with and made it so I never once had to worry about the music. He pumped up the crowd during our introductions, but kept it cool as we wanted him to during the cake cutting. He was just perfect. I would highly recommend him and Dionne Entertainment.

t to make the wedding day schedule truly unique to the couple. His music selection was great, especially when you have a large mix of ages. We are very happy how our wedding day went, and Marcel was a big part of why it was such a success!

e and speakers for my uncle's acoustic guitar. I would highly recommend his services for any wedding or large event.

great job playing a variety of music. Throughout the night, people of all ages were dancing, and our guests loved him!! We got many compliments. I would definitely recommend working with him.
