Moondance Productions

cements, without being too over the top. Played everything on my request list, and then some! We used them for up-lights too. They were much more reasonable than other company's we looked at. The most important thing was that our family and friends danced all night!

t and worked through it so well, adding his own songs that fit in well, that he got much more dancing than we thought possible. We had a Halloween twist, and he played into that as well. Best night of our lives! Thanks Alan!

to have them provide all three. Alan did a great job keeping the dance floor packed and playing all of our requests. The photo booth was such a huge hit! I would recommend it to every couple planning a wedding! The up-lights were the perfect touch for our venue, which needed a little more lighting. Easily the easiest vendor I dealt with.

timing of the reception on track so we were able to get everything done by the time the photographer left. PLUS, he played all our songs and kept the dance floor busy all night with great music. To us he was much more than a DJ. A wedding professional all the way!

effortlessly from one moment to the next. We had so many of our guests compliment her music choices and we ended up extending her service an extra hour since the dance floor was still packed by the end of the night. You can't go wrong with Moondance Productions! Thank you, Suzanne!

a huge plus for us. The music they played was great--a perfect mix of old and new that had everyone at our wedding dancing for two hours straight! There was one tiny snafu with our entrance, but I'll be the first to admit that our request was kind of odd: we had wanted the entire bridal party to enter as one group, and then the entire grooms party to enter as another group. Instead, they were announced individually, as they are at a more traditional wedding. No harm, no foul! I really appreciated that Alan used the mic very sparingly; I've been to other weddings where the DJ kind of dominates the entire event, and I find that really cheesy. Not here! It was ALL about the music--Prince, Missy Elliot, the Backstreet Boys, the Temptations, and more! Overall, Moondance provides great service for the price, and Alan is very easy to work with.

es. We really wanted a classic, music-driven DJ who would focus on spinning good music, setting the right tone for the night, and keeping our guests dancing. We interviewed several DJs before finding Moondance, and we were pretty discouraged. They were entirely focused on “pumping up the party!!!” (ugh), and their music suggestions were pretty corny and uninspiring. They didn’t seem to get the kind of night were looking for, tone-wise. Enter Moondance Productions, a company that we almost didn’t look at because the pricing seemed suspiciously reasonable. We met with Pauline in Providence, and we could tell we had our DJ; she was smart, organized, easy-going, and mature. She let us know that she was receptive to any amount of input (ranging from a few song requests all the way to a detailed playlist), and she was totally cool with our request to keep MCing and crowd-hyping to a minimum. She was all about understanding what type of night we wanted, and then directing all her skills and experience towards making it come to life. Pauline responded to every email in a timely manner, and kept careful track of all the announcements, times, names, and minutia that go into MCing a wedding. Most importantly, she really worked with us to make a playlist that would make us happy and keep our guests dancing. Our requests were all over the place: folk rock, dance music, 70’s and 80’s pop, psychedelic rock, top 40, indie, etc. Pauline wove it all together, peppered it with her own improvisations based on how the night was flowing, and put together a seamless mix that kept everyone delighted. A month later, our guests are still telling us how great the music was. What more could you ask for?

clue about. Music was great, dance floor was packed, excellent on the mic, and the up-lighting was the perfect accent to the Narragansett Towers. I couldn't be happier!

e evening went smoothly. Highly recommend Moondance for any wedding event!

about two months out with our ceremony location and Moondance was there when I needed them to shift their plans for our day and be there for our ceremony music. I couldn't thank them enough!

fore, during, and after our wedding day. She was super helpful about the playlist, and also super patient when we couldn't decide on some music choices until days before. She did a spectacular job playing music and the flow was perfect. Our guests told us she was one of the best DJs ever, and I totally agree. She also responded to emails super fast, which was an added bonus. Pauline was excellent. We've gone to a bazillion weddings including our own and she was hands down the best. We felt very lucky to have her DJ!

our day. We would highly recommend Pauline and Moondance!!!

quick with email replies and very helpful to speak with over the phone. We shared an extensive playlist, which was followed closely. We had such a great dance party we asked her to stay an extra hour! If you want a professional who will caterer to your requests and create a great party, I would recommend Moondance any day.

phone and very easy to communicate with. Every song we requested was played and she stayed within our requested genre of music. We even kept her for an hour extra at the end of the night because no one wanted to leave the dance floor! Highly recommend Moondance to anyone looking for a great party catered to your unique style.

ents. Aside from our song list, we had Alan play whatever music he felt was appropriate for dinner and dancing and guests amd us loved the music, everyone was dancing which was just what we hoped for! He was also great with the timeline. He always gave us a head's up when we should do the toasts and when the garter/bouquet toss would happen and cake cutting. This was great because we were able to focus on our guests and having a good time without worrying when everything needed to happen. He also worked great with our other vendors. I would book Moondance Productions a hundred times again!

e rest with perfection. We also got the photo booth which was a huge hit. We used our own props because I wanted them to be geared more towards NYE than traditional props and it worked out really well. His son ran the photo booth and he was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. Great job by his whole team, we got a lot of compliments on the music!

ighting was completely stunning when you walked into the room. The photo booth was such a hit with my guests, I am so happy I decided to do it at the last minute. I was afraid it would be crass, but the set up was very nice and did not take up a lot of room. It was the perfect touch.

wedding she was easy going and flexible with all our last minute changes. We had some difficult names, but she pronounced everyone perfectly. She provided up-lighting at a great price which made the Aldrich Mansion unbelievably gorgeous! All our special requests were played and the dance floor was busy all night. The best part about having Suzanne was that I never felt worried or stressed.

-lighting. We highly recommend getting the up-lighting. It was much less expensive than other vendors and totally transformed the look of the Newport Rotunda.

family.

she was able to fit everything in perfectly. All of our guest commented on how great our DJ was! She really made our wedding a memorable one. I have been to many weddings and by far she was the best DJ that I have seen. We definitely made the right decision.

ons ran out. One of the biggest bonuses was that he was not the typical cheesy wedding DJ. He made announcements when necessary, was amazing at the introductions, and kept us all on schedule – but without the corny jokes trying to be funny and talking to the audience like they were children like I hate (ex: "How are you all doing tonight? ... I can't hear you, I said how are you all doing tonight??") They were also very reasonably priced in comparison to the other DJs I researched! We are extremely happy with our decision to go with Moondance and highly recommend them.

reasonable and we would recommend them to anyone!

pical sketchy figure, we got a pleasant woman who kept our guest entertained without overdoing it.

late because we had the wrong time, but Alan drove back to the coffee shop to meet us - very nice of him. Alan is experienced and creative - we told him the ambiance we wanted to create and he knew exactly what to do. A week before the wedding he went through everything with us on the phone and gave great advice - very helpful! He also accepts a long list of songs for the entire reception and a do not play list. I highly recommend Moondance Productions!

t at home. The whole night went perfect because of her, everything from intros to wedding songs and then getting the party started, she was top notch! I would recommend this vendor without a doubt for a professional fun and enchanting night! She knew how to engage the crowd throughout every phase of the evening which is not always easy to do. Definitely a people person who enjoys what she does. She knew the music in and out, the oldies, the new genres, and good ole favorites! Every song she played was perfect, and you could tell she really knew how the order of a wedding night goes, every different part of the night just flowed one after the next so easily. She was great, we are so grateful we had her! The equipment and uplights were top notch also! I definitely recommend going the extra notch for the lights, how pretty they make any room!

t DJ! She covered all the bases, and brought up things to consider that I hadn't thought of yet - which was really helpful! On the wedding day, she did the music and microphones for the ceremony as well as the rehearsal - she was VERY quick on her feet when a couple things popped up due to some little details that I had forgotten to take care of (whoops!) - she covered everything seamlessly and everything was exactly as I had hoped it would be. She was wonderful during the reception and I couldn't believe how FAST my guests were filling up the dance floor, and they stayed there the whole night! She was great at reading the crowd and knowing what to play when, and everybody had a blast!! I had been told several times by recent brides during the planning process: A good DJ can make or break your reception! I think it's true, and I think Suzanne did a tremendous job in making our event into a great party! I would DEFINITELY recommend her!

th jazz mood music before the reception. They announced all the events for the reception. They worked with the best man who produced a professional video (which was funny) and they worked with him to make sure the sound was right and that it would work. Wedding music is so important and they did a perfect job.

sic as we requested, which made all of our guests really happy. Even some of the more instrumental versions of the songs that we requested for our ceremony music, he was able to come up with, without a second thought. My new husband and I very grateful to Alan and his team. He did an amazing job!

a few songs that we liked and she was able to fill in a night full of the perfect music off of those few songs. Every song was perfect and people were dancing all night. I had more compliments on the music than anything else in the wedding...and we had a killer dessert table:)

t then we found Moondance! Our experience was fantastic, the music was very tasteful. They worked closely with us to make sure they did not play songs off our do not play list. I would reccomend Moondance to any bride!

ft and the die hards stayed to finish the night! It was a great time and I recommend everyone to use them!

nouncements onto the dance floor. We thought it was odd, he was a professional DJ right? But he was very nice, communicative before and during the wedding, as well as easy-going with changes and special requests.

ould probably set that up if you wanted). He also provided uplighting service for us, which enhanced our room without being tacky. A great DJ that was recommended to us, that we will recommend again.

know would have surprised my husband. He emailed me and said he got it but then on the day he didn't. He also messed up announcing everyone coming into the reception and grouped like 4 people together at a time. I found out later that he couldn't really see us so he was just going by the form...I'm not upset about it. Overall he was a great guy and I am very happy we went with them. Everyone danced all night...great job.

Alan to play the ceremony then start off again at introductions. It went off without a hitch! Second, he was an AWESOME DJ! The dance floor was packed all night- we had such an eclectic group of people (a lot of bikers, older relatives and family friends) and he knew exactly what to play all night! At the end of the night he even gave us a CD of all the songs we requested for the prelude, introductions and special requests! I know you usually don't hire someone because of how you get along with them, but Alan is such a nice person! You don't feel like a number, but a client that he actually cares about doing a good job for. Their prices are very misleading, I would check them out we did have a Friday wedding to keep costs down, but their prices for Saturday are nothing compared to other places- they will be highly recommended from me.

tly what we wanted and when we wanted! He played perfect music for the cocktail hour as well as dinner and our ceremony! He also did an awesome job with the introductions! He was just an overall great guy to work with! Very professional and replied to emails very quickly! So much quality for such a good price! Thank you so much!! -Kathryn and Benjamin Levesque

ng, we were able to receive off season pricing which was appreciated.

hate to think how hectic things would have been without his help. Beforehand he met with me to go over details & help me make decisions I was unsure about. The lighting in the room also looked great. It really set the atmosphere in the reception room and has made the pictures look awesome. I didn't think we could afford lighting, but Alan provided us with a DJ/lighting package that was very reasonable. Everyone I have spoken to said it was the best dancing they've ever been to because the DJ was so amazing. We had a few songs we wanted played and a few we didn't, but for the most part left it to the DJ. (He didn't play any of the songs we didn't want played & all of the ones we did want played.) Alan did a great job of reading the audience and playing songs that kept everyone dancing all night. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional DJ who really provides an all around music and lighting package.

the night!! All our guests raved about her and we couldn't have been happier with her services.

for my sisters wedding! She was again so easy to work with and just great! She played the music we requested and at a late request even found this old irish song to dedicate to my sisters in-laws. I would highly recommend Moondance productions!

ally awkward for us. but other then that all of our guests love the music played and had a blast.

ting to our massive song list.

of the family to get up and boogie. Overall, he was great to work with, and was very nicely priced.

was an awesome DJ and I highly recommend his music services for any big occasion. I used him for our wedding after hearing his music and seeing how he gets the wedding guests out on the dance floor at a friend's wedding.

ow created and contracted Moondance, almost a year in advance, to have a tv screen play that as well as photographs taken throughout the night. The week of our wedding, we were contacted by the company and there was some sort of breakdown in communication. Our vision was smashed as we were told we may have a projector screen to play the slide show, but no random photos will scroll. The day of the wedding, our DJ played the slideshow ---multiple times without music. When the moment came to play this slideshow to music, all of our guests had seen it at least a dozen times. It was ridiculous, not compelling as it should have been. We had provided a list of music we wanted to play- and specifics as to which part of the night. The DJ started playing strange music and when my husband approached her, she said she started taking requests. He then pointed out the obvious: no one was on the dance floor!!!! He told her to revert back to our requests- which were more important! My bouquet-toss song selection was played as a random "dance song". It had obviously been sped up in preparation -so the toss song would not drag on....but when she played it as the "dance song", it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks were singing. Each time our DJ spoke on the microphone, she sounded completely amateur and almost frightened. Other vendors on-site agreed that she was amateur and lacking. It was one flub after another and completely shocked me at how awful a profession DJ service could be. Luckily all other aspects of the wedding were fantastic and this did not ruin the overall wedding. It is supposed to be the most important nights of one's life- and Moondance should be disgraced at how they treated it.

. He knew how to read the crowd perfectly. Hire him and you won't be disappointed.

er.

modating and flexible. Fortunately Moondance has done several weddings at the Regatta, so they worked and coordinated with the staff perfectly. I am very happy that we chose Moondance for our big day.
