The photobooth was a success,mostly with the kids. Isaac was great with my nieces and nephews. My family, friends, and even us bride/groom had a blast.
I hired Dow Oaks for both DJ and photo booth. We were originally supposed to have our wedding on November 2020 but had to reschedule it twice and the team at Dow Oaks was so understanding and accommodating about it. Erik was great at responding to my questions and emails and making sure everything was set for the wedding day. I had to add a few hours/services to my DJ package and it was very easy to do so. I liked their website portal for clients so I could easily update my information for both the photo booth and DJ. I also liked that the photo booth had unlimited prints and we got a photo guestbook of all of the photos. The photo booth actually convinced my other friend who was getting married later that year to also get a photo booth for theirs. Freddie was our DJ and he was also great to work with. He was good at reading the atmosphere of the room and made the reception super fun!
The photo booth was a huge hit at my wedding. The attendant was professional and friendly. Erik was very quick to respond with any questions I had. I would recommend Dow Oak to anyone.
Any questions?
Loved having a Dow Oak's photo booth at our wedding! The attendant was professional, friendly, and helpful, the backdrop was high quality and beautiful, and all our guests had a ton of fun taking pictures. The prints all turned out great, and we love the guest book we ended up with- so fun to have pics and fun messages from all our guests. Highly recommend Dow Oak!
Best photo booth ever! Erik was on top with all the emails I sent him. So glad we decided to pick Dow Oak Photo Booth. It was a hit and everyone loved it! So thankful for the physical copy of all photos plus the digital ones. Baily, who was our photo booth attendant was excellent. Thank you again for making our special day amazing!
The Dow Oak Photo Booth led by Aaron was absolutely awesome at our NYE wedding! We were so lucky that Aaron was the attendant at our wedding. The guests loved him and he made the photo booth so easy to use! He showed up early and had everything set up so the photo booth was ready to go the second cocktail hour started. We would highly recommend them!
Dow Oak was the DJ and Photo booth vendor for a 1 year anniversary celebration party. Dow Oak Events was so great to work with from the very first interaction, all the way till the end. They had every detail covered and had answers for all our questions that were so very accommodating. We also did the photo-booth which our guests loved! Thank you Dow Oak for helping us have a fun event!!
We hired the photo booth for the company Christmas party and it was a huge success, Bailey was great!
The guests at our wedding had so much fun at the photo booth! The guest book provided was perfect and such a fun way to remember the evening!
Katie was awesome! The photobooth was the highlight of our wedding!
Olivia did an AMAZING JOB!!! She made sure everyone was getting their picture taken and filled out the book with the adorable photos in it! She also made sure that the bride and groom got their turn in the photo booth as well. Highly recommend her to anyone. DOW OAK is simply the best service to use in Greensboro for weddings.
Your photo booth was a HUGE success. It was a gift that the bride and groom had no idea they were getting and we ALL enjoyed it and had so much fun. The pictures are priceless and ones they will enjoy looking at over and over again.
The photo booth was a a big hit at my daughters wedding. Everyone had a blast and we have tons of pictures. I would recommend this photo booth anyone having a wedding. The attendant was very sweet and did an outstanding job. Thanks for the memories
Photo booth was a big success for our wedding. I was afraid it wouldn’t get used, but people kept flocking back and now we have these fantastic moments in time captured. Booth attendant was amazing as well. Highly recommend.
Henry did an amazing job at our wedding! His smooth transitions and song choices kept everyone dancing and having a great time! Our ceremony went wonderfully and he even was able to accommodate our surprise first dance which was so fun to do!
The photobooth was a great hit too and I loved that we got copies of all the pictures for our own book!
Awesome service, our guests were so excited to have this option. It's a great way to hold onto memories of our special day. I world recommend having a photo booth at your wedding, with no qualms. Dow Oaks was a great choice, we are very happy.
You MUST book DowOak for your Photobooth! The communication was wonderful leading up to the wedding, our attendant (May) was so kind and sweet and the Photobooth was the HIT of the night. The open air concept is actually the coolest! I would peak over at the Photobooth from time to time throughout the night and May had the biggest smile on her face and you could tell she was having fun. She gave us an album of all pictures at the end of the night and I received the digital files in less than a week after. Super impressed. This was very affordable and the service was worth it all. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend 1000 times.
Erik was awesome! We met Erik in the very early stages of Dow Oak starting and it's no wonder it has taken off! Erik was with us every step of the way and made it all about us. He was truly flexible especially when mother nature decided to drop a few inches of snow at the end of March. You would have thought we planned our day that way. From the ceremony to reception, everything was seamless. Once the party got going, it was like he knew what we were thinking. We left a lot of the music up to him and he did not disappoint. We would throw another wedding just for the music. Step 1 of your vendor search is to hire these guys!
Graham Blossom was amazing! He kept the party going! Was very professional and made sure he kept our requests! Made me and my groom laugh and made sure the day was perfect! Recommend him as a DJ for any wedding or reception
Adam and Samantha Barrow
These guys were great! The fastest of any vendor in responding to all emails (seriously within like 30 min or less). They help you to plan every aspect of the reception with timing. They also make it point to get all contact info for your other vendors so if something is going wrong they can help. They did such a good job we had multiple relatives ask for the playlist, definitely would recommend them to anyone!
Erik from Dow Oak Events did an amazing job at our Wedding! Highly recommend using them! He made the whole experience super easy and the online portal was a great planning tool. One of my biggest worries was that guests wouldn't be dancing but he made sure they were on the dance floor the whole time! He also knew what songs to play to get all different age groups out there. He kept the timeline going smoothly after our planner left and the prices were great too. I can't say enough great things about Erik and Dow Oak events! You definitely won't regret hiring them!
We hired Dow Oak Events and DJ Freddie for our wedding. DJ Freddie arrived early to the event to set up, was very prompt in his responses, and extremely professional. The lighting set the tone and the music was great. He read the crowd well and kept the dance floor going all night!
The day was AWESOME!
Josh and I both agree that you were one of our favorite vendor experiences throughout that day and Freddie in particular completely surpassed our expectations.
He was able to not only roll with our (slightly abnormal) musical tastes, but he rolled with all the punches and surprises (enter the bagpiper that was unbeknownst to me) we threw at him.
He did not just agree to do what we said, but he became an autonomous actor in the whole process, understanding what we wanted to hear based on our reactions, the little surprises we had for each other and for our guests, and on our previous discussions. At no point did we feel we needed to address preferences with him or ask for changes. He had seamless music transitions, a great presence at the reception, and was both professional and friendly.
We would highly recommend him and your company to anyone in the future!
Graham with Dow Oak Events was such a pleasure to work with! We used Dow Oak Events for our wedding last week and everything was perfect! He did exactly as we asked and made our night so special! The equipment he used was awesome, the music sounded amazing! Thank you for helping make our special night perfect! We will for sure recommend you to everyone in need of a DJ!
Overall, Ryan was a good dj. He was professional, punctual and adjusted well to our flexible plan. However, we were disappointed with one part: before the wedding we discussed that we would like to hear a mix of German and American songs and more international music since we had a multicultural wedding. We provided him with suggestions of German songs for him to play. In the end he did not play any German songs until we finally requested it directly. Then he continued playing only German music until we asked him again to stop. It would have been nicer if he had played a mix of both as we originally requested.
Overall, Ryan did a great job and we had an amazing wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 06/04/2018
We regret this couple didn't receive the 100% exact desired experience. Unfortunately, at any event, the order the music is mixed is left to opinion. By reading our other reviews I'm sure you will conclude that every Dow Oak DJ, including Ryan,...
mix the music very well, keeping our customers satisfied and causing us to be very highly rated specifically in this particular category (mixing music) along with all other categories.
Great service very professional. Perfect for our wedding.
Mason was an amazing joy at our wedding! He got along with everyone and was very helpful. His track list is the bomb! I will definitely hire him for more parties! Love you Mason Rock, Kayla & Clarissa 💚
Erik was fantastic. He was very professional. He showed up on time and met all of our deadlines. Moreover, he was very polite and easy to work with. He is an excellent DJ, with great skills. He kept the party going and set the tone we wanted for our guests. I recommend others to invest in his extra lights, they were great. His lights really change the atmosphere and had people loving every moment. He has a very deep knowledge in music and was able to successfully satisfy our diverse group of attendees. Give Erik a shot and he won't let you down.
These guys were on it!! They had everyone dancing and moving the whole night, they probably would have kept dancing if we had the venue any later! They helped so much in the planing process making sure I had thought of everything and helping to fill in the missing gaps! Would recommend these guys to anyone!!
Hiring Dow Oak Events is one of the best decisions you can make for you wedding (or any other event needs)! The DJ for my wedding was Erik and I could not be happier with how my wedding turned out! He made the planning aspect easy and was always quick to respond to questions. We spoke over the phone to confirm everything before the wedding and then the day of I didn't have to worry about a thing! Every time I spoke to someone, they were telling me how awesome the DJ was and they weren't lying! He kept people on the dance floor and I was really disappointed when he got on the mic and told people this was going to be the next to last song because I didn't want the reception to end!
Booking a DJ turned out to be the hardest vendor for us to book! We were torn between going with a band or DJ & I was very hesitant to book a DJ. I had been to several weddings where the DJ was "off" on the music & it set a bad tone for the day. With 3 months left till the wedding, we still had not booked anything when I stumbled upon Dow Oak Events on wedding wire. I was impressed by their high reviews, the amazing prices that they offered (especially compared to every other DJ I had contacted) & the wide range of services they provided. So I emailed Dow Oak & within 10 minutes I had a response from DJ Erik, who we ended up booking for our day! Erik was quick & responsive to all our emails & questions. We set up a meeting to go over music styles, what to expect on the day, & overall aesthetic that we were aiming for. Payment was so easy with Dow Oak, as they have an awesome client portal that manages everything. You just fill out the client form with all important songs, speeches, plus a "Must Play List" & a "Do not play list"--which was very important to me, since I had a specific vision.
Dow Oaks let us set up a playlist for our cocktail hour/dinner then a separate one for dancing. This was PERFECT as Erik used our exact playlist for the cocktail hour & dinner to set the right jazzy ambiance I was going for. He then used our reception playlist as inspiration to mix awesome dance music to keep our guests on the dance floor! I had so many guests comment on how amazing the dance music was & how it was one of the best weddings they had been to! Erik was polite & fun for all of our MCing & made sure that the entire day was exactly how I wanted it!
Take it from someone who was very wary of "cheesy DJs", Dow Oak Events did an awesome job! Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, & reception, everything was perfect! Definitely reach out to them for your next event!
We had an incredible time at our wedding and alot of that had to do with the incredible music, smooth transitions, and excellent work that Erik produced. He was incredibly professional, timely, and accomodating. He went above and beyond to make it the happiest day of our lives. He serioiusly cared about making this an all around amazing experience. He really cares and that is worth its weight in gold. THANK YOU ERIK! We had a absolute blast!
Dow Oaks and Mason did an excellent job at my wedding in January! They responded within an hours of the first email, they were accommodating and the music sheet they give you to help plan the day made everything so much easier!
At the event Mason did an excellent job reading the crowd and keeping the party going! All the transitions were seamless and they were very affordable. I would definitely recommend.
Erik and Dow Oak were a God send. They got back to us within the hour after we first contacted them and every time we needed to speak with them they got back to us usually in under an hour. Erik sent us a great wedding planning sheet that helped us organize the music we wanted and helped us tighten up the playlist and kept things interesting.
At the actual wedding, Erik read the crowd wonderfully and got them up and dancing whenever we wanted or whenever things were getting slow. When it came to the pacing and scheduled music everything played exactly when it was supposed to with no issues. One thing we especially liked during the reception was how Erik blended the music together. It wasn't just a swap from one song to another but a really nice blending of songs with one bleeding into another. I've seen a lot of DJs just act like a glorified shuffled playlist but Erik actually worked the songs and made them lead into each other.
And to top it all off, he was incredibly affordable.
I would give Erik a 15 out of 10 if possible.
We hired Ryan for our organization's holiday party (100+ people). Ryan was on time, polite, and even helped with coordination, lights, mic's, etc. He played a smart mix to keep the entire crowd happy! Ryan was awesome! We will definitely hire him and use Dow Oak Events again. A real professional team!
Dow Oak Events did an excellent job at our wedding! I didn't have to worry about a thing, they were knowledgeable and professional. Eric helped us make decisions on music and was available for any questions we had. I would absolutely use then again for any of our DJ needs!
Loved working with Erik! He was very easy to work with and very flexible in our planning and day of our wedding! He brought the youthful element that we wanted our DJ to have and it helped that he liked similar music as us! Would recommend him to anyone!
Seriously could not have hired a better DJ for our wedding! Erik had an awesome music planner that outlined the entire evening that was super easy to fill out. He is super organized and professional... And he kept the party going until our venue shut us down! You guys helped make our big day the best day ever! Hire Dow Oak Events. You won't regret it!
Erik Massengale was the DJ at our recent wedding. We had known him a few years prior as a friend, but never really experienced his work. I, myself, am a high school teacher and have used different DJ's from around the area (within our vendor list, of course). Erik was, by far, one of the easiest and greatest people to work with. Early on, he was prepared with a layout/tentative timeline for us to look at. He was quick to respond and very personable. He has everything you could need for a wedding! He was flexible when things didn't go as planned and perfect at introductions and feeling out the crowd. He was able to work with all of our songs and did an amazing job! Definitely made our wedding night very special!!
Erik, the owner, is a longtime friend. He handled it wonderfully. As someone that is a technical director dealing with shows constantly, he is top notch.
He provided a form to make sure all of our music needs were covered. He was on time and prepared throughout the day of the wedding. Handled all of the details just as planned and kept the music rolling and had people dancing all night.
I know I'm the lowly groom :P and maybe my wife will write a review herself, but he (and Dow Oak) provide a worry free experience.
The Absolute best! I highly recommend Eric for any wedding or event that you have coming up. He was on point with everything and our wedding was perfect from start to finish. He understood what and when things needed to happen. We will be sharing his information with everyone. Thanks again for all the hard work you put in.
I could not have chosen a better DJ for my wedding last night. I had so many compliments on the great music. DJ Erik was able to get people to the dance floor and he really brought the party to life. He was professional, courteous to my guests and their requests, and right on time. For a bride, this is huge! Dow Oak Events will be the company I use from now on, when I'm in need of a DJ. I cannot say enough good things about Erik and Dow Oak Events.
Dow Oak was hands down the greatest to work with! He was so professional and helpful. We had no idea what we were doing but he guided us along and put together a great soundtrack to our amazing night. He have a wonderful outline to write in each song for the different times of the wedding. He truly made it easy for us. We would like to personally thank him for nailing exactly what we wanted. It was such a smooth process in the planning of our music! We can't say enough good things about Dow Oak he did an outstanding job and our guests had a wonderful time. Our wedding couldn't have been any better and the music choices made for a great atmosphere!
We were very happy with Ryan as our DJ. He also did the music for our wedding ceremony and it was seamless. The music for reception was perfect and kept people dancing all night, I literally did not leave the dance floor! The owner was very responsive to my questions and kept in close contact with me the days leading up to the ceremony so I felt reassured. I will definitely use these guys again for my private events and recommend them to others highly.
Erik was amazing - he was super professional and kept the dance floor rocking all night. It was a perfect evening with a great soundtrack to match. Thanks Erik!
Erik was awesome, he listened to our requests and was very quick to make great suggestions. Added the best touch to our wedding. He took our list and made an awesome mix of things. Definitely will be using him for our next event.
From the prelude music until our last song Erik was an amazing DJ. We could not have asked for better quality and professionalism. Erik worked with us before the wedding to make sure that the music at our wedding played out exactly the way we wanted it and helped us choose fun and upbeat music. Thanks to Erik, our wedding went smoothly and was a dream come true. He was great at communicating, always making sure that everyone was on the same page. We all danced and had a great time! I would highly reccomend Erik, he was the best!
Like having a DJ and a wedding planner! Erik helped with so much unrelated to being the DJ. He made our wedding much more organized than it would have otherwise been. Book him! He is the best! Thanks again for sharing the experience with us. Highly recommend. 5 stars!
We couldn’t have been more satisfied with Dow Oak Events. More than the music, which had the dance floor moving non stop, the service was excellent and he took the initiative when necessary to ensure that speeches and toasts were running on time and that each of the participants were communicated with. We were not stressed or concerned about anything all night, and he was very professional. I feel like Erik was a DJ and coordinator in 1, so the price was well worth it. We would highly recommend Dow Oak Events.
We had such a great experience at our wedding. Everyone had a great time. Dow Oak Events is very professional, showing up two hours early for set up and granting every request we had for our day! I would highly recommend this vendor to everyone!
