Reviews for Doug Griffin Entertainment
GUEST
Doug was an absolute asset to our wedding. He kept the energy going the whole night, and he did a great job responding to the crowd to keep people dancing and having a good time. Doug was able to get a group of non-dancers to keep dancing all night, but he never heckled the crowd to ask them to come out and dance. He used his skills alone instead of pestering the guests like some entertainers do. He was professional in appearance, manner, and performance. Guests of all ages enjoyed his entertainment.
What impressed me the most about Doug though was how interested he was in making us happy. Doug was willing to spend as much time planning with us as we requested. He made suggestions where we needed them, and he not only helped us plan the music, but he helped us plan the whole reception order of events. He was a huge help when we didn't know exactly what to do. Doug was interested both in what we wanted and in honoring what we didn't want. He was willing to take as much or as little direction as we wanted to give, so we relied on his professional judgment a lot. Doug also went above and beyond when we had a crisis. Our wedding coordinator backed out two weeks before the wedding, and Doug stepped up and took over directing the reception and ceremony. He really saved our wedding and made it happen for us when that wasn't even part of his job. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. If you hire him, he will be one of the best people on your team, and he will always be on your side!

Our daughter's Reception was amazing. Doug did a great job keeping the crowd going and made the reception fun for all ages. I highly recommend him to anyone, he does a great job and works very well with the Bride and Groom. Our daughter's wedding reception was the best and she was so happy, and the Groom had alot of fun! They said Mom tell all my friends parents when we get married to hire him they won't be sorry! Thanks Doug for making our only daughter big day so Special!

Doug is an excellent DJ! He really helped keep our reception on track in terms of our timeline and suggested ideas to keep things fun and upbeat. Doug also offers a unique 'long distance dedication' service that allows folks that can't be in attendance to leave a recorded message, which he mixes in with music so you can hear from those folks that can't be present. Very cool! I met with Doug once to discuss logistics and details and then handled everything else via email and phone calls. He is extremely professional and wants your wedding to be perfect! He'll do as little or as much as you'd like and he does it well. Thank you so much Doug!
GUEST
Fantastic! Great energy and everyone danced the entire night. Also very professional and easy to work with.
GUEST
Doug met with me and my daughter several months prior to the wedding, and walked us through the entire reception process. Having never been a mother-of-the-bride before, he answered the questions I didn't even know to ask! Each of his suggestions were right on target. Most importantly, we told Doug we wanted the wedding AND reception to be God-honoring. As a result, no music with questionable lyrics. I now understand the impact of a great DJ! He kept the evening flowing smoothly, with no awkward pauses. In fact, we all had a blast! Thanks, Doug, for a job well done!
GUEST
Doug was the DJ for my daughter's reception, and he provided sound for the wedding ceremony. He was fabulous. I had to change the timeline for the reception several times, even just prior to its start, and Doug took care of all of the changes. He made wonderful suggestions for us when we were picking out music for specific dances. We requested that certain types of music NOT be played, and he made sure he didn't play it. We always had a full dance floor, which is a sure sign that the DJ is doing a great job! We will definitely recommend Doug to others and will, hopefully, get the chance to use him again.
GUEST
Doug was awesome. He made the reception fun, he got the crowd into what was happening, and he played good music. If I ever need a DJ again, I will 100% call Doug!
GUEST
From the very first phone conversation, Doug was professional, responsive, and organized. All communication was done with ease. As the wedding got closer and the tension was growing with the wedding plans, Doug was always comforting, assuring, and flexible. I appreciate how he remained steady through my unsteadiness and would accomodate us when we had changes. The music was great. We had a few specific songs, which he played, but where we were general with our genre of music, he made appropriate choices for us. I would recommend him for any occasion. He's a great DJ.
GUEST
DJ Doug was great. First and foremost he was responsive to our requests and paid close attention to our play and do-not-play lists. After asking us if it was okay, he went among the guest tables during dinner asking for requests. Since he went to our guests, as opposed to asking them to come to him, they became much more involved in the music so everyone had a great time. He was very professional, dressed in a tuxedo, and kept the party going throughout the reception. He did a nice mix of slow and fast songs and played the exact kind of music we asked for during dinner. We had a great reception and I think a lot of that was thanks to our DJ.
GUEST
Out of all of my vendors that I worked with, Doug was the most responsive. He really listened to what the bride and groom requested. He helped us plan the layout for the reception which was over and beyond what I had expected of him. Everyone loved the music, and there was a great energy at the reception. I would highly recommend him!

Doug Griffin is the best DJ. He was super friendly and professional and was able to accommodate all of our requests. He helped us with the time-line of the reception and did a fantastic job!!
GUEST
DJ Doug Rocks!!!!! We could not have picked a better DJ for our reception!! Doug gave us just what we wanted in a reception...laid back, entertaining, and just one big party! He does such a good job at evaluating the crowd and getting people up out of their seats and on the dance floor! If we ever need a DJ for anything else, DJ Doug will be the first one we call!

Doug Griffin was a wonderfully easy dj to work with for our wedding. Very personable,funny, and helpful with ideas. When weather and subsequent storm issues caused our schedule to have to be readjusted, Doug was very flexible. I would highly recommend him, and would definitely hire him again in the future!

great job everyone loved the "DJ"
GUEST
This DJ is truly awesome. He was completely attuned to the 'vibe' of my reception, and seemed to be really happy and excited to be there. If a song wasn't working, he sensed it within a few seconds and would fade the song out into a better one! I didn't expect my DJ would take the time to pay attention to how the guests were responding to the music, but Doug definately did. He also honored my song requests, and was engaging and friendly on the mike - but it was not overkill at all. He truly 'made' the reception!!
I always enjoy working with Doug, he is so professional in everything he does. He always brings a sincere element of fun to every event we've worked together on...and we've worked together a lot over the years! I can rest assured the reception will flow smoothly whenever Doug is around. You can't go wrong with Doug Griffin Entertainment!
Doug is one of the best DJ's I have worked with in Nashville. He really knows how to get the party rolling, and everyone always has a great time!! Trust me there are other DJ's, but no one can come close to Doug Griffin Entertainment!
My brides rave all the time about Doug being the best referral I gave them! He listens to the requests of the bride and groom and he is great at feeling out a room! I look forward to working with him again soon!

We will sit down and discuss all aspects of your event including; demographics of the guests, requests, tempo, and special announcements. I will do everything I can to make sure your event is a success. My philosophy is that no one came to see the DJ, however your entertainment is key to the success of your event. My experience, personality and knowledge will make your event - one to remember.
Q: How much time do you need to set up your equipment?
A: It usually takes 20-30 minutes to set up for an event. You are never charged for set up or travel time. I arrive at least one hour prior to the contracted time to begin setting up. Should you need me to set up more than one hour prior to my contracted start time, a nominal hourly fee could apply.
Q: What types of music do you play?
A: I have a large selection of music on CD from the 20's to today's hits. If you, or anyone in your group, has a favorite that you think I might not have, please feel free to bring it along (CD or cassette only) and I'll play it. I make every attempt to find all the songs you specifically request through my network of contacts at numerous radio stations and music stores.
Q: Do you play requests?
A: YES, YES, YES!!! That's the bottom line. I am here to serve you, and to entertain you and your guests.
Q: What types of questions do I need to consider before our sit down meeting?
A: General age of guest, types of music desired (rap, top 40, country, big band, etc.), types of music you don't want played, special songs or announcements, contests or door prizes, how active you want the DJ? (master of ceremonies, make a few announcements, just play music).
Q: I am ready to book you as my DJ, what’s next?
A: Let me get you a contract in the mail, sign it and return it with the deposit, and the date is yours. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible with your DJ selection, so I am certainly ready to meet in person to discuss details before the contract is signed. Call me today and I'll hold the date until we are able to meet. (800) 404-DOUG !
