Mr.
Mellow-tasker, Mark Haggerty
Handling 1000 things at once never looked so easy. A Bay Area
native with Aussie roots, Mark loves his work. He takes the fractured pieces of
party puzzles that plop in his lap and puts them together perfectly. Do him a
favor, though, please don’t ask for autographs, stories about his time
with "Beach Blanket Babylon", or when he was Mr. Concert Promotions in the
80’s
... unless you really want to hear about them.
He has worked with and can legitimately drop names like Joan Collins, Carrie Fisher, George Lucas, David Geffen, Val Diamond, Paul Stanley (Kiss), Danielle Steel, Heart, John Cougar, Huey Lewis, Peter Tosh, The Motels, The Go-Gos, Cheap Trick, The Police, Santana, Tom Petty, Night Ranger, Katrina & The Waves, Journey, Sammy Hagar, Montrose, Stray Cats, Foreignor, Loverboy, ZZTop, Billy Squire, Men At Work, Ronnie James Dio, and Quiet Riot faster than you can say, "throw another shrimp on the barbi, mate!"

"It was great -- we don't usually do a DJ, but Mark had them dancing from the beginning. You are very easy to do business with and if I need DJ services again I'll certainly call you folks!"
-Brenda Reisinger, Hyatt Regency - Sacramento, February 14, 2010
"Everything went very well at our wedding. Mark was great to work with and we really appreciated all of his extra help with sound during the ceremony and the slide show as well. Overall, our experience with you guys was terrific and we would happily recommend you to others. "
-Kristen Brunson, Mira Vista Country Club, February 13, 2010
"Thank you Mark! I just want to second Chingwin, you guys were fantastic. I've never seen a wedding where everyone was dancing so much, you did a really great job keeping the crowd going. And the photobooth was a total blast, everyone kept telling me how much fun it was. Again, thank you!"
-Adam Pyonin, The Argonaut Hotel, January 9, 2010
"We were very happy with everything the day our wedding. The photobooth was a HIT with everyone and we love the guest book with all of the photos. Mark was awesome and played exactly the kind of music we wanted. I will recommend D&D to everyone I know that is getting married."
-Valerie Bolch, Hotel Vitale, January 1, 2010
"I just wanted to write to let you know what a great job Mark did for us on Friday, as he always does.
- Somehow he managed to set up on time, even though when he got there, the outlet was overloaded.
- Somehow he managed to play the right music, even though the direction wasn't 100% clear cut. Possibly just the opposite!
- Somehow he always manages to take everthing in stride, no matter what!
He really has the whole package: artistry, technical knowlege and customer service. I can't imagine hiring a DJ other than Denon and Doyle! If you ever need a reference, we would be happy to speak on your behalf."
-Helen Gettinger, Hyatt - Santa Clara, December 11, 2009
"As always Mark was great! He had a good plan for the night. I prefer to use nobody else but Mark for all of my events. Thanks again!"
-Greg Schniegenberg, Concord Hilton, December 4, 2009
"You guys have been excellent to work with. We were so happy with how everything turned out. It was an all out dance party that no one wanted to end, thanks to Mark! We have had countless compliments regarding how amazing our DJ was. Mark did exactly what we talked about and played all the right music at the best times. I wish I could get married again just to have him there! (I would of course still choose to marry the same man). We will absolutely recommend Denon & Doyle whenever anyone asks for a DJ recommendation. Thank you for everything!"
-Ashley Rawitch, Claremont Country Club, November 20, 2009
"Oh my gosh, it was AMAZING! Everyone had a blast. I had people coming up to me saying this was the best wedding they had ever been to. Mark did an amazing job, read the crowd and kept the wedding moving. He thought of things I didn't think of and was aware of the crowd and what he needed to play to keep people on the dance floor! "
-Melissa Miller, Palm Event Center, November 15, 2009
"I did want to get back to you to let you know that mark was simply terrific. We met with him a few months before the wedding and he gave us some pointers then. a week before we ran the schedule by him and he gave us some more guidance and suggestions. and then on wedding day, he mixed our music with his and get the mood of the place buzzing, so much so that we had folks on the dance floor for 4 hours and then had the extend for another hour. I have already recommended him to two friends who are organizing their reunions next year and who were at the wedding to wintess his magic. Thanks again to you guys at d&d. you were professional from start to finish. what a pleasure."
-Safdar Mirza, Cliff House, October 17, 2009
"First of all --- what an amazing night! Matt and I had so much fun at our 10-10-09 Wedding and most definitely our guests did as well. I can't tell you how many people are providing us with feedback and saying "you had the best Dj with the best songs". Thanks thanks thanks for everything you did to make our night run as smoothly and beautifully as it did. Again thank you Mark for everything --- We loved every moment and are so happy that the guests danced their butts off till the very end!!"

"We are in Mexico soaking up some rays and drinking too much champagne! The wedding was beautiful and Mark did a spectacular job. Jamie and I both had many guests come up to us and tell us how much they loved the music selected for the evening. Our wedding quickly turned into dance party USA and that is exactly what we wanted, bringing all our guests together across all generations. We can not thank Denon & Doyle enough for the fabulous work. Mark was a rockstar!"
-Stephanie Joukoff, Bentley Reserve, September 6, 2009
"Mark was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The thing we loved most about him was how much he really seemed to care about the success of our wedding -- he worked so hard, and I cannot tell you how much we appreciated that."
-Angela Kung, Trentadue Winery, August 22, 2009
"We could not have been happier with Mark and Denon & Doyle. As I visited our guests throughout the room, everyone commented on how much they liked the music. Mark did a great job of combining old classics with newer numbers. People were up and on the dance floor before the first course was over and never stopped. We did an impromptu dance with the bride's great grandmother and all her grandchildren and Mark had her theme song (Hello Dolly), announced what was going on, and everyone loved it. The dance floor was still full when the bride and groom were called upon to make their exit. I told Mark that his part was one aspect of the wedding I did not have to worry about. I knew we were in good hands. Thank you so much for making our reception everything we had hoped it would be. I will gladly recommend you to anyone who wants the very best in a DJ."
-Lisa Hirsh, Catta Verdera, August 15, 2009

"The guests at our wedding all have the same opinion about our reception, it was the best they have ever been to! We are still getting compliments about the awesome music choices. My groom and I wanted our wedding to be a party, lots of fun with no dull moments... Denon & Doyle helped that come to life. Thanks so much to Mark for showing our friends and family how to have a blast a wedding!"
-Erica Fry, Los Altos Country Club, June 27, 2009
"The party was great and Mark was great. Everybody loved the music and he really read the crowd. Thanks for helping to make a special evening even more special."
-Arlene Leonoff, Claremont Resort & Spa, June 21, 2009
"It went fantastic! Mark did a fabulous job. Just an example...one of our guests were going to leave to go home to their kids but Mark started playing Primo Indian music and they stopped and stayed for another hour. Many guests commented on hoe a non-indian palyed such good music. I will add that all the music was Mark's choices. Also we loved his other selections and flexability.
We would highly recommend D&D and Mark again"
-Ena Sinha, Culinary Institute of America, June 14, 2009
"Mark was AMAZING - he did just what we asked him and then improved on it. He read the crowd really well and many commented to us on how great the music was. He did just the right amount of checking in with us and interaction with the crowd. We had a fabulous time and have nothing but good things to say about Mark!"
-Laura Romain, Corinthian Yacht Club, June 6, 2009
"The wedding went off without a hitch! We could have not been more please with Mark and his addition to our wedding. All the music ran smoothly and was a great part of our reception. Mark was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely recommend him and D&D for any future events. We also had Alex do the music for our ceremony and that was lovely as well. We made the best decision picking D&D to handle our music for the wedding."
-Carrie Cooper, UC Berkeley Faculty Club, May 23, 2009
"Vivian and I are extremely happy with Mark's performance at our wedding. Everything was timed perfectly that Vivian and I did not need to look at our watches for the entire evening. He even remembered details such as reminding us to take our sunset photos.
The music Mark selected got several positive reviews, from the classical pieces during dinner to the 80Õs songs during the open dance. He is very professional and fun at the same time. He helped line us up for the bridal party entrance, and organized a fun game for the centerpiece giveaway. We would recommend Mark to any of our friends"
-Chris Lee, Hong Kong Flower Lounge, May 16, 2009
"The wedding went perfectly and Mark was WONDERFUL! A true professional and he helped keep the flow going and the feet dancing!!! We got so many compliments on the music and style as well, so I really appreciate how you catered to our requests, it was such a mixed crowd! =o) I loved working with you guys, and it really couldn't have gone any better! We really appreciate it! Thanks again!"
-Laura Plann, Hyatt Vineyard Creek, May 9, 2009

He has the ability to read a crowd well, while being mindful to specific requests from the bride/groom. I believe he represents Denon and Doyle very well, and I would readily recommend him to any bride."
