Reviews for Denon & Doyle
We booked Macio on the spot when we attended a Denon and Doyle showcase. I was so impressed with this company, they seemed so professional. They weren't the least expensive company out there but Macio was well worth it, he was fantastic! I was amazed at how hardly anyone was sitting down the entire night. People would come up to us toward the end of the night and start to say good-bye and then Macio would play a song and they would say, "I love this song! We'll stay for this one last song." All of those people were there until the very end of the night.
Let me first say that I loved attending the showcase. I knew that we needed a DJ and D & D were one of two allowed at my location.
Larry was our DJ for the night. He was great. My guests were not really the dancing type but he played a wide variety that got each generation dancing. Perfect!
Mark Haggerty from Denon & Doyle did an outstanding job at our wedding. He kept everybody entertained and followed our do and don't play list. He also was very good at keeping the flow of the reception as an MC. I got to speak to Mark directly before the wedding and it was great, as we got to know him a little. Highly recommended.
My guests keep gushing about how awesome our DJ, Mark Haggarty, from Denon & Doyle was at our wedding in July. Mark dealt with our electricity issues (backyard wedding) and was a perfect host. He truly set a tone for the night by creating activities that got the crowd involved and then mixing a wonderful playlist that literally kept our dance floor packed with guests of all ages the entire night.
Choosing Denon & Doyle was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It truly wouldn't have been the same without them!
We were lucky enough to book Mark Haggerty from Denon and Doyle for our wedding. Mark is a seasoned professional and it shows. Not only was he a graceful emcee, who kept the evening running smoothly, but he also kept the dance floor packed all night long. Denon and Doyle is a little more expensive than other dj services out there, but being able to rely on Mark's expertise was more than worth it.
Denon & Doyle has got to be the most professional and organized DJ operation out there. We were so impressed by their showcase and website, that we didn't waste too much time searching for a DJ. They're also reasonably priced. We knew they'd be perfect and they didn't disappoint. They're so organized and have a wonderful online wedding planner. Our DJ was Mark Haggerty and he was perfect. He edited songs for us, set up and brokedown our video presentation, and played exactly what we asked for. D & D is very respectful to provide the entertainment that you want. They provide you with every opportunity to tell them what you want and then execute that vision. I only wish we'd had more time for dancing!
Denon and Doyle is not worth the money.
FI and I went to their showcase and were very impressed, so we decided to book them on the spot even though they were much more expensive than any other place we had looked at. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with their service on our wedding day. Our supposed MC made no announcements. As much as they kept hyping that the DJ would be able to work with any crowd, our DJ could not quite manage that. Several times we noticed everyone would be on the dance floor having a great time, then the DJ would completely change the style of music, and everyone would walk off the dance floor. Other problems: our guests mentioned that they put in requests for the DJ, but the songs were never played; we heard a bit of the Wedding March during our reception intro (that was not our requested song!); the first dance song started playing while our cake was still in the middle of the dance floor; and several times, they turned the mic up too loud so that it made that awful screeching sound, which startled everyone. Our DJs seemed inexperienced and were not coordinated.
This is the one vendor that we thought we would have no problems with, but they turned out to be the only vendor that disappointed us.
I can't recommend Denon & Doyle highly enough! We were planning our wedding from out-of-town, so I relied mostly on reviews found during internet research. Based on these reviews, we requested Mark Haggerty, and he certainly didn't disappoint! After months of deliberating, it was such a pleasure to select our DJ, knowing that we were in good hands; we honestly never thought about it again until the wedding began to approach.
Once the time came to meet with Mark in person, we found the Denon & Doyle headquarters to be a complete breath of fresh air. Everyone we met was so impressive and professional that it really put our minds at ease. D & D will give you one less thing to worry about as you plan your wedding!
Although we requested some music selections in advance, we entrusted Mark to find the right balance for our event, and we were glad we did. Neither one of our families enjoy dancing, but Mark did an excellent job of coaxing people out onto the dance floor. Since we had requested an unobtrusive DJ style, it was merely a matter of selecting the right music, and Mark was able to read the crowd expertly, without any direction from our part. Indeed, we probably would have led him astray, with our own interests! So we were very glad that he was there to make executive decisions. We had feared a totally empty dance floor, but didn't have anything to worry about with Mark at the helm.
I doubt anyone could go wrong with Denon & Doyle. Nonetheless, I wanted to note that they offer frequent showcases where interested couples can see the DJs perform. But we didn't need to meet Mark to know that he'd be extraordinary. The great part about Denon & Doyle is that you can leave everything up to their considerable expertise. Trust them to make your next event a special one!
We had a great time with Patrick from Denon and Doyle. He did a marvelous job.
The only negative thing is that you don't speak directly to your DJ before the wedding but through the office manager who then conveys things to patrick. I think things can get lost in the communication. For example, I told Mark that I didn't want any of the cheesy wedding music to be played at all. He told me not to worry about it but Patrick would never play corny wedding music. But because someone requested it Patrick played YMCA and the macarena. Ordinarily I would have walked off the dance floor, but it was surprisingly fun to dance to and everyone got into it!
We also chose one DJ but he ended up backing out because he decided to go to medical school instead.
Everyone at Denon and Doyle were professional from the beginning and were very helpful. We actually were very last second with the songs we chose and music details and just let the DJ choose out most of the songs.
We were really lucky to get Patrick. I think Patrick was well worth the money (Denon and Doyle I think are amongst the more expensive DJ's in SF). He was very professional. The dance floor was full the entire time and we loved the other music he played. Everyone (except my korean relatives who never dance) were dancing. My father in law who is normally such a quiet man was a nut on the dance floor. People complimented us on the DJ afterwards and everyone thought the reception ran smoothly. Patrick also MC-ed the reception and he did a great job with that too. He's one of the reasons why our wedding was such a success.
We went with these guys after reading their awesome reviews online. We had such a good feeling about them but held off to book until we could attend one of their showcases. We did not know what to expect but WOW did they knock our socks off. They are so professional and their entire staff is displays the kind of customer service you rarely see these days. We asked them to choose a DJ from their staff that matched our personalities and we got Kevin. He was amazing. It was like having our own concierge at the wedding. Not only did he play great music and coordinate our events, but he was always watching out for our family, bridal party and friends. I think he topped off my champagne glass twice and at one point I even witnessed him escorting my grandmother to the food stations. If you are looking for a DJ you owe it to yourself to attend one of their showcases and see what a difference they make.
We always breath a sigh of relief anytime we see that Denon & Doyle is going to be part of an event. They are professional, reliable and never fail to keep the party going. Not only are they great DJs and MCs, but they have so many extra services to really make your event stand out. If you want a fantastic, stress-free music experience, you must go with Denon & Doyle.
