Tommy & Natalie were absolutely perfect for our wedding day!! I was very particular about the timing on specific songs for our ceremony and Tommy made sure to do just that for us! ...
He did such a good job at making sure that both my husband and I had a drink all night and made sure that we didn’t need anything and if we did, he was there to get it for us! Both Tommy & Natalie were so nice! 10/10 recommend!!
From the moment we started planning our wedding, there was never a question about who our DJ would be. Harold was an easy choice. As a longtime family friend of my father, he came ...
highly recommended, and after working with him, I completely understand why.
Harold is incredibly personable and takes the time to get to know each couple so he can create the exact atmosphere they’re looking for. From the beginning, we told him we wanted a high-energy reception that would keep people on the dance floor all night long, and he absolutely delivered.
The music was one of the highlights of our reception. Harold and his team played the perfect mix of upbeat, popular songs, and instead of simply playing one song after another, they blended and mixed the music together seamlessly. It created such a fun, nonstop party atmosphere that kept our guests dancing until the very end of the night.
In addition to this, we also had one of my husband’s groomsmen perform our first dance song. This was a surprise that my husband did not know about. Harold helped me plan this surprise seamlessly. He coordinated all of the equipment that we needed to make our first dance moment special!
Beyond the music, Harold went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. During our June wedding, he brought fans to help keep us cool—which was especially appreciated while I was wearing a huge ball gown. It’s those thoughtful little touches that truly set him apart and showed how much he genuinely cared about making our day comfortable and enjoyable.
As our MC, Harold struck the perfect balance between professionalism and humor. He kept everything running smoothly, made announcements effortlessly, and brought an energy that fit our reception perfectly without ever taking the spotlight away from us.
If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to read a crowd, keep the dance floor packed, and make your reception unforgettable, I cannot recommend Harold and his team enough. They played such a huge role in making our wedding one of the best nights of our lives, and we are so grateful we chose them!
My daughter's wedding was stressful enough, so having a true professional like Harold there was an absolute blessing.
From the moment I met Harold, I knew he was kind, understandi...
ng, and exceptional at what he does. On the day of the wedding, I needed a last-minute edit made to a song so I could have the perfect father-daughter dance. Harold handled the request without hesitation. In fact, the way he took time away from his own setup to address my concern showed me just how much he understood the importance of that moment.
This company truly is a family affair. Harold's daughter was there as well, bringing a gentle presence and fun spirit to the day. Both Harold and his daughter went above and beyond to make sure our daughter's wedding was perfect—even bringing a portable fan around to help keep guests cool and comfortable.
Hands down, Harold Mahan Productions is the best DJ and ceremony company you could ask for. Whether you're a parent or a couple looking for someone to elevate your special day with professionalism, kindness, and a calm, caring presence, Harold Mahan Productions is the company to choose.
Thank you for helping make our daughter's wedding a day we'll never forget!
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Harold. Our wedding had a pretty significant blip-- no air conditioning at the last minute! He came through...
with fans, humor, and going above and beyond to take care of us and all our guests. We met with him via the phone several times to talk about what we wanted/didn't want for entertainment, and everything we asked for was executed perfectly. And when the issues arose on the day, he helped pivot, making sure there was sound/music on the outside spaces where people were cooling off, as well as kept the dance floor full! No small feat. My husband says "I'd hire Harold to do my funeral!" :) In all seriousness, we received so many compliments about how he contributed to our day and we consider ourselves so lucky to have had him on our team. Thank you so much Harold- hiring him is a no brainer!
I have no words to adequately describe how amazing Harold is. He was the DJ at my daughter’s wedding Saturday and he was incredible! This was our 2nd wedding in 9 months and I w...
ish we had found him the first time. He kept the guests entertained and engaged the entire day. The music was amazing. He went above and beyond making sure we were all taken care of the entire day! He made sure the bridal party had water and at one time during photos I looked over and he was holding a fan on them to keep them comfortable. He made sure I (mother of the bride) was well taken care of too. He reminded me to sit and eat instead of running all over the place, he brought me waters, and he visited the coffee bar twice to bring me a latte. He went above and beyond every minute he was there! He came very highly recommended by several friends - one friend has 3 daughters and they planned all 3 weddings around his availability - he’s that good!!! I can highly recommend him 1000% without hesitation. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and he was by far the best I have ever seen!
I cannot recommend Harold enough! I attended a friend’s wedding that he DJ’d and that’s how I knew I wanted him at my wedding. From start to finish, Harold and his team were profes...
sional, very responsive, went above and beyond in so many ways, and helped make our wedding amazing; from the planning phase to the day of. Out of all our vendors- Harold was the only one who reduced my stress instead of adding to it, and far exceeded any expectations we had. Harold kindly offered to do additional tasks day of for us, and my only regret is not taking him up on that offer- because his team came through on everything and more. He even did things for us, without us asking, that was extra special. I highly recommend Harold and his team for any event you have! The Photo Booth and receiving a photo-book of all our guests, the same night, was such a special treat. I don’t plan to ever get married again, but I hope I can work with Harold for another event somehow, because he and his team are that great. They created such a fun and warm atmosphere for all our guests- truly a night to remember!

Harold and his daughter Maria, we’re absolutely wonderful at our daughter’s wedding reception event! We could not have asked for a better DJ and MC, for the night! He was organized...
, fun and helped us with making sure the event ran smoothly all night! Not only did he DJ/MC, but he also served our immediate family all night long, with whatever we needed, as far as drinks, food, desserts, etc……he wouldn’t let us wait on ourselves. He went above and beyond and by the end of the night, he was not just our DJ, but our friend! Such a sweet guy, we would highly recommend him for any event!

and had the crowd going constantly. Harold wanted to make sure everyone was engaged and having fun.

our wedding day and Harold officiated the wedding. He was able to capture the love my husband and I have perfectly through his words during the ceremony. The music kept everyone on the dance floor all night and the photo station was a huge hit. I love that everyone in the picture was able to get their own copy. I highly recommend booking Harold for your next event!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Harold, Tim, and Chris for the incredible job they did putting our wedding together. I would hire them again in a heart beat. Harold made 2 bl...
ends of songs for us which were big hits for first dances and we got so many compliments. He was able to easily accommodate my wish for black lights and his team made a quick adjustment to change dance floors when plans changed last minute. The dance floor was packed for an hour at least and they stayed after everyone had left to play music for my siblings and us.
Chris made announcements like a true professional and just added so much character to our big day. He also helped ease my nerves when our schedule kept changing throughout the reception and I told him, “I can’t make anymore decision, please just tell me where to be and when.” He definitely lived up to that and more, coordinating things behind the scenes and taking stress off my plate. He got us water and continually checked with us to see if we needed anything.
Im going to recommend Harold and his team to my siblings and family anytime they have events requiring DJ services.
We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day. From figuring out what we wanted for ceremony songs, to last minute edits we discovered we needed on rehearsal day, to ...
taking care of us day of, Harold and his team were there for us the whole time. Our ceremony went flawlessly and we had a blast of a reception. We credit a big part of this to Harold, he was always looking out for us and his run of show was top tier. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests and the memory book that was put together for us will be cherished forever. He even made sure we were cool during our outside photos by bringing us a fan! Absolutely amazing team and I will be recommending them for weddings from here on out.
We absolutely had the best reception! The DJ, Chris, was professional, entertaining and kept the party going. The bridal party and most of the guests never sat down. Chri...
s did a phenomenal job introducing the wedding party, all the special dances and playing the music that everyone wanted to dance to. I would recommend Harold Mahan Productions to everyone. Harold answered every question we had for months leading up to my daughters wedding. He could not have been nicer or more professional. They also rent a Photo Booth for events. They keep a copy and put them so into a photo album give it to the bride and groom as a Keepsake. It was my daughters favorite item from the wedding. Absolutely 5 Star Service!!!!!!!!!!

at a good job he did! He wasn't only playing music...he was our coordinator basically. We wanted to do this thing our cousin did at his wedding where we got a picture with every table during dinner time, and he and our photographer helped us execute it perfectly! He was our main man! He made sure we had food during dinner and basically made sure our wedding ceremony and reception went smoothly. He was so kind and patient as well! Excellent communicator! He spent time with us the week leading up to the wedding to go over all our requests in detail to make sure everything went smoothly! I am soo grateful for Tommy! Thank you for all you did for us! : )
Harold and Maria are the best!
Harold and his company were the best DJ we could have asked for! Not only are he and his wife fun to meet with and discuss details, but he is ready to meet any request regarding mu...
sic and sound. He wired us for sound outside for our ceremony and everyone could actually hear our vows which was awesome! The music was spot on and we gave very little direction in terms of the reception music and he and his DJ kept us all on the dance floor and kept us hyped for the entire three hours of dancing. He is very responsive by email with any questions or requests and is ready to add or cut out anything from the line up even same day. We also really loved Harold and his family and we enjoyed his company on our wedding day! We recommend Harold highly!

or the guests to come in, that we had forgotten that step in the course of the day. My daughter and her husband never even got their own drinks. Harold and Maria were amazing, always thinking ahead at what the bride and groom might want or need. They made sure the day was perfect. My daughter and her husband thoroughly enjoyed the reception. The dance floor was packed all night. The feedback from guests has been unanimous that the reception was an amazing party where everyone had a blast, with most guests staying all the way until the last dance. The success of the reception, as well as the guests’ enjoyment, was due entirely to Harold and how he read the dance floor. I could not recommend him any more! Definitely 5 stars!

I initially had not planned to hire a DJ, but I'm so glad I ended up hiring Harold. He was easy to communicate with and helped with the organizing / scheduling of the ceremony and...
reception based on his experience. The day of the wedding, he was a positive and supportive presence, keeping everything on schedule and asking me what else he could help with (he even offered to have someone pick up an extra shirt for my husband, who had sweated through his!). I had quite a few sound needs, including two officiants, both live music and playlists, multiple rooms needing sound, etc., but Harold handled it all seamlessly. He even purchased some Brazilian music for it for my husband and his guests! No complaints. Thanks for everything!

ning a wedding is extremely stressful in itself. I never had to worry about one thing with music after Harold agreed to be part of my wedding day and what a relief! Harold and his team were part of my best friend’s and cousin’s weddings as well and we all couldn’t be happier to have them be part of our wedding days. They are truly the best! If you are looking for a reliable, honest, and trustworthy DJ give them a call!
Our oldest daughter went to a wedding where Harold was DJ. She loved his vibe and ability to keep people on the dance floor all evening. So we hired his team for her wedding, and ...
they did not disappoint!! AMAZING!! Detailed and spot on, so when our youngest got engaged months later, who to ask to DJ was no question! They drove 3 hours and once again hit it out of ballpark!!! He is an amazing family man and took very special care of my husband and I making sure we didn’t go without a drink in our hand and asking if we needed anything and we’re we having a great time. I am proud to consider him a friend and love sharing family news and pics with him. My husband and I now need to have a party so we can have him entertain for us again since we don’t have anymore children getting married!! We can’t sing anymore praise for this man and his family. 💜♥️💙. The Brogan/ Estridge/Holman family
