We used DJ Phil through DJ Toad Productions for our wedding. Of all our vendors, we feel that he made the biggest impact on us, our guests, and our day. We were able to make a list...
of songs we wanted played, asked for last minute changes, and had him MC our entire reception. We could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend using him for your own wedding!
Phil was our DJ. He had the dance floor packed from start to finish. Everyone at the wedding danced, from the grandparents to the bridal party. The dance floor was overflowing w...
ith people I had never seen dancing before.
Phil ran the schedule perfectly as well. He was in control from the time guests arrived until the end.
We had so many guests compliment the music and great celebration/atmosphere Phil created.
If you need a DJ and want a great memory hire these folks!.
DJ Phil from Toad Productions was truly phenomenal, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to work with—organized, responsive, a...
nd genuinely invested in making our day feel like us. He took the time to get to know our music tastes and did an amazing job mixing the songs from our playlist in a way that felt seamless and natural.
What we appreciated most was that he never made the night about himself—he let the music and the energy of the room speak for itself. And wow, did it work. We had guests of all ages on the dance floor all night long, and several people went out of their way to compliment him to us.
On top of that, DJ Phil worked effortlessly with our other vendors and clearly knew the venue inside and out, which made everything run so smoothly. We are so grateful for his professionalism, talent, and calm presence. He played a huge role in making our wedding reception so much fun and unforgettable.
DJ Austin from Toad Productions was absolutely amazing for our wedding!! I was suggested Toad productions from a coworker who loved her experience with her DJ from this group. Aust...
in was so incredibly kind & very thorough. He allowed me to pretty much make the entire wedding playlist (I’ve heard of some DJs that don’t let you make your own playlist- I wasn’t a fan of that). I gave Austin my playlist & told him he could remove some songs & add in other songs that fit the vibe & would be a hit. And he did AMAZING. He kept the dance floor absolutely alive the whole night & completely matched the vibe of the playlist + the wedding guests. We had about 150 people. We also added on the photo booth option (we made our own backdrop) & there was a line for it the entire night. Absolutely worth adding that on! We also added on some extra dance floor lighting & loved it. I never had any problems with our DJ at all. He was on time, so kind, professional, & did everything we asked him to do/play. I even had someone ask for his info so they could hire him for their wedding next year. We had multiple people compliment our DJ to us after the wedding. Truly can’t thank Austin enough for running our reception so smoothly & perfectly!!
DJ Toad was absolutely incredible! We appreciate everything he did to help us have such a great time. His expertise was obvious from start to finish, and his flexibility made the w...
hole night feel effortless. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ on our special day. Thank you so much for helping create the perfect wedding atmosphere and making it feel so perfectly tailored to us. Highly recommend!
Hannah Held from Toad Productions was the best DJ for our October 25 wedding just a few weeks ago!! She kept the dance floor full all night and was able to read the vibe perfectly....
She was a joy to work with, super communicative and collaborative. Can't recommend her and the Toad team enough!
I truly cannot thank or recommend Phil Francis with Toad Productions as an event DJ enough! We hired him to DJ our wedding on 10/10 after experiencing his skills at our friends’ we...
dding last year. He was incredible throughout the entire process! During the planning stages, he was professional, timely, and thorough. He ensured he understood our vision of how we wanted to the day to look, and he asked thoughtful questions to ensure our vision came to life. Phil also reassured us through the process, as wedding planning can be scary and stressful. He really made sure we felt comfortable and confident in every decision we made with him.
On the day of, he came prepared and ready to celebrate! Phil even brought a video screen along, even though we did not have it as a part of our wedding package, which was such a wonderful surprise. The ceremony flowed seamlessly, and he followed our plan to a t. When it was time to dance, he kept the dancefloor packed, and I cannot count the number of people who shared compliments on his mixing abilities!
Aside from his professionalism and talent, Phil is a genuinely nice person! You can tell he loves what he does, and he truly enjoys making every wedding he works special. By far, Phil was one of the best hires we made for our wedding, and we truly appreciate all he did for us to make our big day so amazing!
We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Phil as our DJ at The Transept on 11/1/25. From the initial call, through all the meetings and finally at the wedding, Phil was nothing bu...
t great and organized. Our wedding went very smoothly and he brings a great vibe to everything. He checked in several times with us and family during our wedding. If you are considering TOAD, use them and ask for Phil!
Using Toad Event Services for our DJ was one of the best decisions we made surrounding our wedding! We were assigned DJ Phil and from the very beginning of the process, he made thi...
ngs seamless and easy. On our initial call, he was friendly, accommodating, and transparent with pricing. After our initial intake call, he sent us a Timeline through Google Docs, which walked us through exactly what the expectations were and what kinds of music/how much music we would need for each portion of the event. A few weeks before the big day, we had an in-person meeting at his studio (which is amazing!) to review all the details and make sure everything was good to go. On the actual wedding day, Phil was timely, efficient, and brought the good vibes all night long. I did a special choreographed dance with my dad and one with my bridesmaids, which Phil helped integrate into the night perfectly. He did a great job of using our preferred songs, while also allowing guests an opportunity to request songs throughout the night. We received lots of compliments on how perfectly each song transitioned from one to the next and on how neat it was that he played the music video for each song on the front of his stand - which was a fun surprise for us too! In addition, we utilized his up-lights, which synced to the music and heightened the energy and overall aesthetic of the dance floor. We would highly recommend using Toad Event Services (specifically DJ Phil if you can request him) because we had an amazing experience from start to finish!
Keith was the DJ at our wedding and knocked it out of the park! We got so many compliments about the music at our wedding and how fun it was to dance to. We gave Keith so little di...
rection for music but he took the little bit that we gave him and read our crowd so well. Our guests had so much fun dancing all night.
Choosing the right DJ was one of the most important decisions for our wedding, and we can confidently say that working with Ryan L was one of the best choices we made. From the ver...
y beginning, his communication was exceptional — organized, stress-free, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable.
Ryan provided us with a planning template that let us outline every part of our day, from ceremony music and special announcements to our first dance and beyond. During our ceremony, Ryan ensured that our guests could hear our personal vows crystal clear. He also managed the timing of our parent dances perfectly so that everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to stay fully present. One of the standout moments of the night was my second dress reveal. Ryan completely hyped up the energy and gave me a moment that felt like a movie! Just when we thought he couldn’t top himself, Ryan surprised us during the reception with a video montage he had somehow captured while DJing. We were blown away. It’s one of our most cherished memories and a testament to how much he truly goes above and beyond for his couples.
We couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you Ryan!
Byron with DJ Toad Productions was professional and a good communicator, but his best talent lies in music selection to keep people on the dance floor. We wanted a dance party at t...

because Keith picked amazing songs to fit the vibe! We got so many great compliments from our guests - they LOVED the music videos played during dancing (optional). Cannot recommend Keith enough - will be one of the best decisions you make!
We hired Ryan with DJ Toad and we were thrilled with his work. He was both personable and professional and, from our very first meeting, instilled us with a feeling of great confid...
ence in his abilities. He was attentive to our wants and needs, and also provide great professional advise and feedback on things. His DJ setup (with the upgraded up-lighting) elevated our reception and created a wonderful atmosphere for dinner as well as for dancing. As for DJing, he kept the dance floor alive all night and ensured everyone had a great time. I highly recommend!
Highly recommend TOAD productions and DJ Hannah! Hannah took so much time to meet with us, came out to our wedding venue since they hadn’t done a wedding there yet just to give us ...
peace of mind that they would know what our setup needs would be for the day and then Hannah met with us another time, meticulously curating our playlist. We felt like she really understood the type of music and vibe we wanted for our wedding. She is extremely kind and bubbly, while also bringing a professionalism and confidence you want knowing the sound and music will be perfect for your wedding.
I highly recommend DJ Toad! We had Austin as our DJ and he did a phenomenal job. I hit him with a million questions in the leadup to the wedding and he was patient and helpful in a...
nswering any concerns I had. He selected the perfect music for both our cocktail hour and dance floor that fit the exact vibes we were going for. He was even able to quickly fix some sound issues we had with the mic at the beginning of the reception so that the speeches were able to be heard without issue. I highly recommend Austin and this great company!
DJ Toad (specifically DJ Austin) were the BEST people to work with for our wedding! They were incredibly organized and responsive throughout the entire planning process. DJ Austin ...
really got to know us and our taste and did an AMAZING job running the party on the wedding day. The dance floor was packed the entire night! It was the best! We can't recommend them enough.
Jordan was the best DJ ever. He was extra friendly and helpful leading up to our wedding and played a great mix that we worked on together and read the vibe perfectly during our re...
ception. He had friends and family dancing who I've never seen dance before. Plus, Jordan was so chill. He ended up joining my Groomsmen and I before the ceremony just to hang out when we had some down time.
We could not have asked for a better DJ than Phil for our wedding day! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and genuinely fun. He kept the energ...
y up all night and created the perfect atmosphere for both the ceremony and the reception. Our guests are still talking about how great the music was and how much fun they had on the dance floor. Phil truly listened to what we wanted and made it all happen seamlessly. Thank you, Phil, for helping make our wedding unforgettable!
We love TOAD Productions! After they DJ'd my cousin's wedding in 2023, I knew I had to hire them for my wedding as well. We had the pleasure of working with DJ Rabbit (Keith), who ...
took the time to do several planning calls with us to make sure no details were overlooked. He did the sound and music for our ceremony, which went perfectly with no technical difficulties at all, and DJ'd the cocktail hour and reception. One of my main priorities for our wedding was a have a full dance floor and big party during our reception, and Keith ensured that's exactly what happened. He perfectly balanced our individual requests and unique traditions with his own expertise and command of the reception vibes. We would definitely recommend using TOAD Productions for your wedding!
We had Phil DJ our wedding and he did an excellent job! Would highly recommend to anyone! He was easy to work with and kept people on the dance floor all night. We didn’t have tons...
of song requests but he definitely pick up on our vibe with what we had given him and we couldn’t have been happier with the song choices. Everyone commented how great he was!!
We had DJ Phil for our wedding and I cannot recommend him enough! We weren’t too picky with our playlist, we just wanted a party. He certainly delivered! Not only did he work with ...
our planner to make sure everything went smoothly, but once the dance floor opened it didn’t stop. It was absolutely perfect and a blast. He also complimented our first dance choice (My Beloved Monster- The Eels). My Husband was the one who picked it and it may be his greatest achievement yet to have it complimented. All in all I would highly recommend!
Phil was our DJ for our wedding and did an excellent job with our music requests, song choices for first dances & ceremony, and kept the party GOING until the lights turned on.

HIGHLY recommend Phil with Toad Productions. We were sold the moment we met with him during our initial wedding planning. Phil is experienced, professional and accommodating. The d...
ance floor was going all night as he played a variety of music as well as our favorites and “must plays.” He led the wedding timeline perfectly as an emcee as well. The number one compliment during and after our reception was the DJ. A very touching moment came at the end of the night - he selected the perfect song to send off the party. His knowledge of reading the room is impeccable. Phil is a MUST for your wedding ❤️

Jordan with Toad Productions was an incredible DJ for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with his performance! Even though we had to plan our wedding from a distance, Jo...
rdan's regular and cheerful communication made the entire process enjoyable. He had us laughing and at ease from the start, which was a welcome relief from the stresses of wedding planning. Every meeting with Jordan was fun, and he worked tirelessly to ensure we were delighted with the music for our big day. He was accommodating with our budget and helped us include the vinylmatic in our package, which was a massive hit with our guests. Despite having a daytime wedding, Jordan managed to get everyone on the dance floor while perfectly aligning with our music preferences. His professionalism, energy, and genuine enthusiasm made our wedding unforgettable!
DJ Phil Francis was the dj for our wedding. He did such a great job and everybody had the time of their life on the dance floor. He was so great to work with and very professional....
I would recommend to anybody that wants to have a great time. We added some lighting as well as the Photo Booth and it was awesome. He made it so easy and he is so organized and prepared. 10/10 recommend
First off, we want to thank Toad Productions and specifically Phil for helping make our wedding so special. Leading up to the event, Phil met with us several times to help tailor t...
he music for our event. He provided great transparency and examples of previous events to help set us up for success. His music selection was a great fit for the vibe we were trying to set for our guests, between cocktail hour and dancing after the dinner, our guests gave us several compliments on music. He worked extremely well with the different vendors at our wedding and the venue so everything was seamless. Even more, after getting to know the two of us and our story he personalized our event to fit our story. We are extremely grateful to his hard work that made our wedding so much fun. We give him our highest recommendations and hope if you’re reading this review you choose him to work your wedding or any other event, you won’t regret it!
We had such a great experience with toad productions! We were super particular about what music wanted and needed help with our first dance songs and they did everything we wanted ...
so perfectly. DJ Byron went above and beyond on our wedding day helping
with things beyond DJing. He helped make things run smoothly and we are so glad we picked them for our wedding.
DJ Ryan and the team at Toad Productions are incredible, and your wedding will be significantly better with them as part of your vendor team! Compared to other wedding DJs in the a...
rea, their pricing is very fair compared to the organization, meetings, and overall services you will be receiving. They are everything you could think of when it comes to professional DJs and you will not be disappointed because they make sure all the little and big things are taken note of from when you first to book with them to after the wedding!
Toad Productions, namely Ryan Lehmkuhl, was so easy and fun to work with. We had a large age range (7 to 104!) coming to our wedding so we wanted to have music that everyone liked...
. Ryan delivered just that. There were people on the dance floor all night! Ryan was also integral to making sure our wedding was moving along at the right speed and the guests were entertained the whole time. He also made us the best wedding logo ;)
Thank you Ryan!
We were initially targeting another DJ, but our photographer urged us to go with DJ Toad instead, and thank goodness for that. The best way to describe DJ Phil is "consummate profe...
ssional." He's an amazing DJ and made our wedding run smoothly, even with minimal instruction or guideline from us. If you're lucky enough to book him, you can rest easy knowing you're in good hands. Specifically:
- Phil was super flexible and open-minded when we wanted/needed last-minute changes, including shuffling around the schedule, truncating first dance/parent dance songs on the fly, and even dropping in last-minute songs mid-reception that mixed and flowed seamlessly into our existing song selections. We know none of that is easy, but he sure made it seem that way!
- We asked for a private final dance at the end of the night, while the guests were all outside getting ready for our big send-off. Phil not only accommodated, but also took some fantastic pics for us during our private song, which is outside of his job responsibilities, but he went ahead and knocked it out of the park anyway.
- We're hearing that a well-intentioned but drunken friend may have tried to commandeer a mic to make a toast, but for Phil's stalwart gatekeeping. It's impossible to overstate how much we appreciate Phil for that intervention.
- Finally, Phil's mixes and song selections were on point, which is definitely an art. It's a true credit to his ability to read a room and fill it appropriately. We got tons of compliments on music selection, volume, and presentation.
We worked with Keith, he did an excellent job keeping everyone on the dance floor. I would recommend!
Ryan DJ’ed our NYE wedding and was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he keep the dance floor PACKED all night, he was a stand in coordinator, calmer of nerves, and overall hypeman...
. He took every hiccup and crazy change we had like a champ and is fantastic on his feet! All of our guests raved about his skills and danced their tails off. We seriously could not have dreamed of a better DJ for our night!
Byron was great! All of our guests loved the music!
We worked with Ryan L. for our wedding and he truly knocked it out of the park! I had quite a list of requests and a preferred 90s power hour for him to play as I did not want a "c...
lassic" wedding playlist and he exceeded my expectations! I continually have numerous people tell me how awesome my music was and they also loved the portion where you could watch the music videos to the songs he was playing. Ryan also helped with our ceremony music and vocals and did an excellent job with this as well! Couldn't recommend enough!
If you need a DJ look no further than Toad Productions! They are professional, friendly and absolutely amazing to work with!
I had the pleasure of working with Jordan Earl for my...
wedding and he had the entire group on their feet the whole night. He put together an amazing playlist based off our recommendations and was nothing short of impressive! If you are in need of a DJ for an event I HIGHLY recommend working with Toad productions! 5 stars across the board from the newly weds!
We used TOAD Productions to DJ our wedding 8/5/23, and we were so happy with their service. Austin, our DJ, reached out multiple times leading up to our day to ensure he understood...
our personalities and vision for the evening. His communication was timely and professional. When it cam to our wedding day, we were so thrilled with the result. We had a completely packed dance floor until the very end of the evening, which is exactly what my husband and I hoped for! Austin read the crowd and kept our party going until the very end, and we had an absolute blast the entire time. We would 100% recommend TOAD Productions for any of your DJ needs!
DJ Austin and Jordan did an amazing job, they kept the party going all night and made it incredibly easy for us! The lights and sound system was all integrated at our venue flawles...
sly.
Austin from TOAD was amazing for our wedding. We were a little untraditional (no formal dances) and we created more of a "do not play" list and he was 100% cool with this approach....
He brought great energy and I had numerous guests tell me how great our DJ was.
WOW we are SO appreciative of DJ Phil from Toad Productions!! We had an absolute BLAST at our reception, and we got SOO many compliments from our guests on how amazing our DJ was!!...
DJ Phil truly understood the assignment, and when you ask for a certain vibe – he delivers!! DJ Phil was professional, amazing to work with, and had a great planning process to make sure all our special moments were captured with the right song, and that we would be happy with the playlist at each stage of the evening. We got to dance all night and had the dance floor filled all the way until the very end! I also so appreciate that he took time to teach those giving toasts how to properly use the microphone, so everyone could hear the speeches. The speeches were something I have been looking forward to, so I really appreciate that he took this extra level of service to make sure the sound quality was great!
