We hire Donovan to run the audio tech and light for our wedding as we already had a DJ and were from out of town. My concern was getting a person that had quality gear, but also w...
as just passionate about sound and parties so that my feedback would resonate as I myself am a DJ of 15 years. Donovan was awesome. He listened. Was punctual. Did a great job and gear made our wedding a level above stuff I've seen elsewhere. We got a video facade, lighting, CO2 Cannons, and CDJ rentals last second because the gear I brought down was having issues. Donovan is the man! Would recommend him for all your audio, lighting and visual needs.
Any questions?

o many special details for our wedding ceremony and reception announcements. He had all the equipment (mics, wires, beautiful white screens/walls, lighting, etc.) as well. He edited our first-dance songs just as we asked, too! We were thrilled to find out that our guests LOVED his music choices and wanted to stay on the dance floor the whole night! We asked for a "party" vibe with the lighting and music choices and Donovan absolutely delivered. Also, I was happy to support a company from Chalmette, as that is where I grew up.

The week prior to the wedding we had a coordination call with Donavan where we went over special songs and the overall vibe of the wedding. After the wedding, we got so many compliments from our guests about our amazing DJ. Thanks for getting the people on the dance floor, Donovan.

Everyone from the reception is still talking about how amazing everything was and our friends danced nonstop. We would hands down choose him again in a heartbeat.

Donovan was great! He was one of my first vendors booked in early 2019 for my *should have been* April 2020 wedding. We booked him for 4 hours of DJ'ing, uplighting & photobooth an...
d the quote was more than acceptable! Of course, due to COVID, our original plans to get married in April 2020 at City Park quickly fell through and we had to scramble to reschedule to August. Donovan was extremely cooperative and got back to me very quickly on securing the new date. Then July comes around and we had to make the decision to downsize from 200 people at City Park to 60 people at an Airbnb. Donovan again was extremely helpful and accommodating and assured me that he could make this work, and he did! The day of the wedding, he set up everything himself, from the DJ booth in the living room, photobooth in the sitting room and uplighting in the backyard and it was perfect! We even asked for him to stay for an extra 3 hours and he agreed. The music was great because we had the typical wedding songs at the beginning and then the more exciting stuff toward the end. We honestly had the best time and we're so thankful for Donovan and his services. Could not recommend this DJ more!

100% satisfaction guaranteed, and boy does he mean it! Donovan is an amazing DJ and always gives 120% at every event he's contracted for. He is one of the few that genuinely cares ...
about their clients, and his passion for events shines through strong- always going above and beyond. We're wedding planners in New Orleans, and we cannot speak highly enough of him. His professionalism, flexibility and ability to get any crowd on the dance flow is invaluable to our events. Not mention, he has an impressive inventory of items he offers with his services, ranging from smokeless sparklers, amazing light shows, uplighting, fog machines and photobooths. Thank you Donovan, for everything you do for us and our clients!

cel our wedding or throw together another wedding with about half the people on 7/11. Since we are from out of town just cancelling and rescheduling was not an option for us and plus we really wanted to get married. Donovan rallied and came to do our wedding a day earlier and really did an amazing job. Our new venue was much smaller than our other venue but he made it all work with the perfect music that we picked out. He was professional and did a great job keeping us on the dance floor the whole night long :)

omething that took me a while to come to terms with. That said, Donovan was great to work with. He answered my long questionnaire without complaint and was always a phone call/text/e-mail away. I was planning my wedding from New York, so knowing that he was responsive put me at ease. His website for music selection was impressive and fun to use and he stuck to our selections. We opted for the package that included a photobooth. We were very happy with the booth, photo quality and staff. We also opted for a slideshow to continuously play during our reception, and Donovan made that happen. All we had to do was provide the photos. Set up, sound quality, performance and friendliness lived up to our expectations. We would definitely recommend Donovan and staff!

Fire Entertainment totally delivered. Once the party music started, our guests didn't leave the dance floor, and it was still full when the last song of the night played. Donovan was great leading up to the event, answering any questions I had via email or text and being flexible when we wanted to add uplighting only a few weeks before the big day. We went with the premium package plus uplighting. He also provided microphones for our officiant and ceremony musicians. The prices were great and I loved that we could put all of our must play songs and reception timeline in his online system. Donovan also served as the MC by announcing all of the big ticket items in the reception such as cake cutting, group pictures, and even announcing the bar on Bourbon street where our after party would be. We heard from so many guests that it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to, and I know this wouldn't have been possible without Donovan! Look no further for a DJ!

sy to navigate and he has a humongous database of songs to choose from. He was able to read the crowd and kept our guest dancing all night long. We also booked Donovan’s photo booth and it was the hit of our wedding. We are enjoying looking at everyone’s photo booth photos and can see how much fun everyone had. He sends you home with an album and mails you a flash drive with all of the photos. Theres even a personal attendant at the photo booth to make sure everything goes smoothly. If you’re having any reservations about Donovan- read this review and then book him NOW. You will not find a more caring and supportive DJ.

ATTENTION FUTURE BRIDES AND PARTY GOERS: Hire Donovan as your DJ!!! You won't regret it! Out of all of my wedding vendors, he was the fastest to respond to any questions that I had...
, whether it be via email, Facebook messenger, etc. I am an extremely detail oriented person. So I created a list of all of the songs I wanted him to play (by the hour lol) and he played all of them. But what I loved is that he actually mixed the songs, not just played them back to back. The lighting set up was such a great addition too. It really helped with setting the vibes for the reception. Everyone had such a fun time dancing and my guest danced the majority of the time. Another bonus is that I got the photo booth with my wedding package. I LOVE photo booths at weddings. They help break the ice in the beginning when people are just standing around wondering what to do. I also received a USB of all the photos in the photo booth. So, a few weeks after my wedding, I went through all of the pictures of my guest and was dying laughing looking through all of them. Another thing to note... I am a lover of rap music. And not just the generic, mainstream rap music, I am talking ALL rap music. So at the tail end of the reception, when all of the champagne that was being handed to me started to effect me, I'm pretty sure I was requesting songs with some heinously offensive lyrics in them lol. Not sure if he ran out of time or if he was trying to save me from drunken self but I don't recall them being played. Either way, I'm glad they weren't played because I'm pretty sure some of the older guest may have been offended! Overall, Donovan is the bomb dot com... definitely happy that we hired him as our DJ and you should do the same :) #GeauxDJDonovan

Also, his photobooths are awesome, the lights are beautiful (he has plenty of different colors and beautiful displays. If you are looking for a DJ, look no further. Donovan has you covered.
