Shut Down Productions 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Eagle Lake, FL

After a long career DJing clubs, radio, and more I can honestly say nothing is more rewarding than weddings. Just knowing that my music bonds families and helps them enjoy themselves on their most important day is a feeling that can't be replicated at any other gig. When I began getting requested for weddings, I saw a void for club DJs in the industry, so I picked the best and started Shut Down Productions. In addition to our DJ & MC services, we have grown to be a one stop shop by also offering photo booths, lighting, special effects and more to make your celebration even better.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding reception was AMAZING because of Shut Down Productions! D.J. Chocolate Rain knew the vibe of everyone, idk how he did it. It's like he read our minds. Everyone's favorites were played without saying a word. From rock, to 90s, dub step, and songs Everyone forgot about from the DEEP PAST. Everyone raved about that night and EVERYONE danced. Thank you so much! Would hire again 10/10

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we used Second Song for our wedding! The whole process was super easy and whenever we had a question or wanted to update something (like add more uplights, which was a great addition btw) we always got a prompt and helpful reply. And our DJ Rob Goodmonson! We cannot thank him enough for the amazing work he did at our wedding! We loved his energy and all of his questions that he had for us during our phone call consultation. I in particular am very grateful that he was so willing to help me with a special song request which required mixing bits from two songs together for my Father-Daughter dance. He was more than up for the challenge and was so helpful with it! When it came to the actual wedding, he was so kind when introducing himself on our wedding day and did a beautiful job MCing. We wanted more minimal MC work and he nailed it perfectly! He was also super flexible with last minute announcement requests that we had. For example, we realized no one was noticing the anniversary cards we put out for signing at the dinner tables, so we asked him to make a little announcement about it and he did great doing that on the spot! Finally, the music all night was absolutely fantastic. He really listened to what we wanted and he delivered! The music felt very much like “us” and we had so much fun dancing all night long. Everyone kept talking about how great he was and several people said it was the best wedding music they have ever heard. If we ever need a DJ again, without a doubt, we will be hiring DJ Rob!

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Dave was the most incredible and thorough DJ! He was available from the moment we booked him as a DJ all the way up to our wedding day. At one point during dinner, he even went up to the bar to get me a drink because mine spilt. He responded to our wedding crowd and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. He has so much experience at weddings that he was even able to help guide us with a wedding reception timeline. He has the best quality equipment and all the speeches and music were very clear. I can’t recommend Dave with Celebrations 24 enough. We gave Dave a few specific song requests for the ceremony and reception, but for the most part we trusted him to just play the most crowd pleasing songs and certain genres and he did it perfectly. Our wedding would not have been as fun if it wasn’t for DJ Dave. We are so grateful and appreciative!

Communication leading up to the event was clear and seamless, and two weeks before the wedding we were able to share exactly the vibe we wanted. He absolutely delivered.
