from wherever they were, plus a microphone for our officiant. Really, a fantastic choice for your event!
We had an amazing experience with Howard Productions. From the time we met Loni and Stella, they were super proactive in helping make sure everything went exactly as we wanted it. ...
While our wedding was at a single venue, our events were spread out across a summer camp, but they were able to provide sound and mics at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception effortlessly.
My biggest concern with a wedding DJ was finding someone who would be able to read the crowd and make sure the dance floor was always packed. But at the same time, not play all the songs I hate at other peoples' weddings, and be respectful of the fact that our guests come from a wide range of ages and tastes. I could not have been more pleased with how the night went down. Loni did a msterful job of getting everyone out on the floor early with classic, older crowdpleasers, and as the night progressed moved into a 'younger' selection. Based on our lists of what we absolutely wanted them to play and not play, I was really happy that they built a playlist around our preferred genres, while always having new songs pop up that were an unexpected delight. I literally could not have been happier with their work, and the DJ was probably the one area that I was most nervous about going into the weekend. I would recommend Howard Productions without reservation.
We had a somewhat unconventional wedding at a summer camp and Howard Productions did a fantastic job adapting. They were able to set up a sound system for the acoustic guitar and t...
he speakers at our ceremony, an amazing sound system with perfect music for our outdoor cocktail hour and then kept the party going all night at our reception! The planning process was thorough and seamless, and they did an incredible job of keeping the dance floor packed all night long and playing the songs on our must play list, and doing a great job transitioning into an after party. Never a second of dead air the entire night. Would highly recommend!!

with the team I knew I was going to work with them. Their customer service was superb and their attention to detail was far and above anything I’ve ever experienced. They customized the photos with his picture at the bottom and the quality was top notch. They were so friendly and accommodating to my guests and were the hit of the party! This is far beyond your ordinary photo booth. If you want to stand out to your guests, I can not recommend them enough.

e was thoroughly able to enjoy! I had multiple friends and family members tell me it was the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding! The most important thing to me about my wedding day, was making sure all my guests enjoyed it- and they sure did! Even my grandparents danced the night away! If you’re looking for a great DJ with AMAZING sound equipment- go with Howard Productions! You won’t be disappointed ! Thank you Loni and Stella for an unforgettable wedding day!
Greatest Wedding DJ EVER!!! Played what I wanted and improvised a great playlist based off of our conversation! Highly recommend!!
Howard Productions is second to none. We're involved in dog rescue and the owner, Loni, donates a lot of his time and resources to groups we support, so we knew we wanted to hire h...
im to DJ our wedding. But it wasn't just because he's a dog rescue guy - he's a great DJ. He and his crew were totally communicative, worked with us when our plans changed, accommodated special requests, were very kind to the spazzed out bride (myself), and really read the crowd at the event to make sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. They maintained their professionalism and sense of humor through everything, and they really went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. We had other friends of friends who would have done the job at a discount, but Loni's prices were VERY reasonable and I knew I was going to get the quality I wanted for my party. And I did - we got so many compliments on the music from our guests. If I ever get married again, I'll hire his crew without a second thought!
Loni and his crew were incredible throughout the entire process! He threw in a ton of surprises. We loved every minute from the ceremony to the end of the night!
