DJ Jazz and DJ Lo did a fantastic job at our wedding. The music was great, and they followed the vibe as the night went on. Everything was perfect, from announcements to volume to timing and general communication.

Mitchell from NewHarp Productions was awesome and really helped elevate our wedding. The lighting and speakers were great and really added to the atmosphere of the night. What stood out the most was how much Mitchell did beyond just being the DJ. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and even helped and fixed issues with things that weren’t related to the DJ role. He was a huge help with coordinating, making announcements, getting everyone’s attention, and making sure people were following the itinerary and plan for the evening. He did a great job keeping everyone engaged and bringing energy to the dance floor. He got people excited, played good songs, and even joined us out on the dance floor to help get people up and dancing. Mitchell was very nice and super helpful throughout the entire process. We couldn’t recommend him and NewHarp Productions more.

nt job providing the music - we got so many compliments about how well they kept people dancing! We also loved the dance floor, lighting, and photo booth. They did a great job keeping the evening on schedule and we really appreciated how they would check in with us (Bride and Groom) throughout the night to make sure everything was going how we wanted it to. We also loved being able to go up to them with any request and trusting that they would make it happen for us. We highly recommend the team at NewHarp Productions for your wedding or any other event. We will be telling our friends and family about them!

night flowing and energy alive. These guys came through and totally put us at ease on our shortened timeline. Anything I requested or sent, they were confident we could pull off without issue.

DJ Isaac and DJ Jazz were the greatest DJs!!! They did both our ceremony and reception beautifully. We gave them loose guidelines of a vibe we were looking for and they nailed it! ...

The whole ceremony was beautiful with their help of miccing up our pastor and the music they played . The reception was a blast- giving a moment for the family friendly songs while the kids were still there, and turning it into a party as the night went on!! I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to DJ our wedding!!

DJs (yes two DJs) came early enough to get sound checks and equipment set up. They worked well with our Violinist for the ceremony and mic checks, they were so interactive throughout the night to make sure everything you want is taken care of, they interact with the crowd and announcements perfectly. The pre meeting was perfect to workout what you wanted and they take care of it all. Highly recommend!

A song we have no clue how to blur out some words but they did and it flowed perfect. Throughout our wedding night they were very go with the flow and any request or announcement I asked they did with ease. They made entrances fun. They did an impromptu that got peoples attention. I think I would be here forever if I wrote down every little detail they did! I appreciate their hard work making my wedding night a breeze and a day to remember forever!!! Thank you!!!
