"Double D will make your wedding receiption stress free. We did not have a wedding coordinator so we needed someone with experience and professionalism to tie everything together that day and keep the party following. Everyone said they had a good time and it seemed that everyone had an opportunity to participate in one way or another with all the activities Double-D does to bring people out and involved. 100% worth every penny! Thank you Double-D ."

"Your suggestions were extremely helpful in getting people dancing early and staying on their feet for most of the night. The transitions were smooth and Desiree kept things moving ... we appreciate your willingness to run the video montage ...overall we had an absolutely wonderful evening thanks to the both of you ... on the honeymoon we shuddered to think what might have happened if we went with the other DJs we interviewed! Thanks again.

"Derek, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for making our wedding reception so very special. We have received so many comments regarding your professionalism, the musical selections and your ability to keep the reception flowing. Also, the suggestions you made to make the reception exciting and memorable for the guests worked. The "celebration dance" of the wedding party was unique and got the crowd ready to "party."   Also, the guests loved the interactive entertainment during dinner- It was a classy and different touch.  We were actually shocked how many people you were able to get to participate. It was nice to have it captured on DVD.  We enjoyed working with you from our first meeting through the reception. Feel free to use us as a reference. If we need an MC/DJ in the future, you will be contacted. Thanks again and may God continue to bless your business.

" Charles and I were extremely satisfied by the services you have provided.  You have made the reception better than expected.  Our guests can't stop talking about how much fun they had in our reception - and it has been 10 months ago!  We also appreciate that you played most,  if not all of our requested songs.  That just shows how much you paid attention to our needs.  Good job to you both!"

" Double-D Entertainment was excellent!  My wedding day was wonderful and worry free.  Desiree was instrumental in helping me keep my sanity - answering all my questions day and night, making recommendations, establishing and meeting timelines, speaking with vendors on my behalf, handling everything on my wedding day,... the list is truly endless!!!  She was always there for me and made the wedding planning process so much easier. I'm profoundly grateful!  Derek is a master at what he does.  He made such wonderful suggestions on how we could make our reception unique and personal.  Derek, I knew about your DJ'ing skills, but I was blown away by your ability to control the tempo of the reception. Thank you guys very much for making our day a positively memorable one!!!  We've gotten so many wonderful comments on how great our DJ was - keeping things flowing in the reception, informing attendees of what was coming up next (appreciative by many!), great musical selections, etc.  I could not have dreamed of a better team to help make our day so fantastic!

" Derek and Desiree are not only Djs and Emcees, they are event professionals!  You need to have someone at your wedding who can "feel" the crowd and know how to move them...Double D is the team for that! We had our great aunts and uncles dancing who are in their 80s as well as our nieces and nephews who are 2 and 3 years old!  If you want to have a party or reception that makes everyone feel warm and catered to, then hire Double D.  They are absolutely wonderful!!!
