"Jordan came home from school today and remarked that all of his friends
said his party was "awesome!" This came from some of the most difficult to
please as well. I couldn't let that go without letting you know. See you in
2009, if not before at another event." - Joannie Liss Events,
Temple Emanu-El, December 8, 2007
"What a pleasure you are to work with. Your professionalism is unmatched
in your industry. Any event is easier just to have you as part of the team. Now
to the fun - AJ, Kyle and Grace rocked the event. They should be proud of the
success they had bringing together so many kids from different schools at this
East Bay middle school dance. It is not just about dancing but connecting with
kids and they've got it down! They brought down the house. Our event was a huge
success, thank you. My only worry is how we will top it the next time! This
high praise is more than the glow from a successful event, it comes from
someone who works for one of the largest corporate event management companies
in the country - You Rock!" - Jocelyn Gorewitz, Temple Isaiah,
December 2, 2007
"Kyle deserves a standing ovation and a day's pay for a great great job!
The whole crew were professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. The getflipped
was worth the money although I had to take several pictures with different
people to get things going." - Mary Silva, Concord Hilton, November

"The party was a smashing success - the kids had a really great time and
there is still "buzz" going on! The mix of Bollywood and Hip Hop was fabulous.
Over the past few days, many parents have told me that their kids said it was
one of the best parties ever and/or that their legs were sore from all the
dancing. Justine told me that the party was talked about for many days
afterward at school - and by phone, email and text too (only about 60% go to
the same school). My favorite school-friend quote - "Justine your party was
really crackin' ". One of the major reasons that the party was so great was
because of Kyle's talented participation - he was absolutely the perfect DJ
choice!
I told Kyle that if you/he ever need a referral for a similar event, you
can feel free to use me. We (both parents and Justine) could not possibly have
been happier with Kyle - he is adorable and very engaging as a DJ - we loved
how he intereacted with the audience and music! He really knows his music (from
Hip Hop to Bollywood is pretty impressive) and can read crowds exceptionally
well - all the kids loved him. There was a small glitch for one of Justine's
two "entrances" but even this Kyle turned into something positive and had fun
with it. Throughout the party, Kyle was able to pump-up the audience, get them
on their feet dancing, control (as in "calm it down a bit") the energy and
really turn the party into a cohesive and totally fun event. He really worked
hard but was able to seem relaxed - we were all truly imprerssed.
Sweet 16 parties are "difficult", as they are not "kid parties" nor are
they "adult" - Kyle really understood this and his contribution to Justine's
"Bollywood Sweet Sixteen" party was pivotal to its success. Planning this party
was a "big deal" for us - as our planner had to leave us only part way through
the process. I would also like to be sure that you know how much Dan helped us.
He was informative, thorough, and did everything that he said he'd do for us,
right on schedule. He was also 100% correct in assigning Kyle to this event.
Having Dan to talk to was calming, as he had all of the answers to our
questions and was great to "brainstorm" ideas with." - Michael
Plaut, Holiday Inn-Fisherman's Wharf, September 15, 2007
"The party was a smash and Kyle did a great job. thanks!"
-Lynn Roy, Embassy Suites, July 13, 2007
"Please thank Kyle and Gideon for helping us with our program for the
cottilion that night. The performers said they were easy to work with and
willing to make adjustments without any problems that night. We do appreciate
all the help we got and will recommend Denon and Doyle to our friends for any
special events in the future. Thank you again..." - Della Meren,
Concord Hilton, June 23, 2007
"Kyle was EXCELLENT! He interacts with the kids and really gets them
going. At our night dance, only 25 kids showed up!!! You would think it was a
flop, but NO WAY, Kyle rose to the occasion, teaching dances, doing
competitions. The kids had a great time." - Joan Danilson, Stone
Valley Middle School, May 4, 2007
"Kyle did a fantastic job of keeping the party moving last night. The
dads all had a great time and were impressed how he kept them on the dance
floor the entire 2 hours. We appreciated the games and activities he chose and
he was very gracious with all of our requests." - Jolene Schmitz,
St Isidore, April 22, 2007
"The compliments keep coming!!! So many people keep calling and sending
me notes to express the wonderful job done by the whole Denon & Doyle team.
Everyone is well aware of the fact that the overall success of the event was
directly attributed to the great job that you and your team did that night
keeping the crowd on their feet and totally engaged. We are now looking for any
excuse we can find to throw another party where we can have you and your team
do what you do best -- PARTY!" - Sara Truebridge, Bridges Golf
Club, April 14, 2007
"Adam's party was a success. All of the kids who attended had a good
time. They especially enjoyed the music. A shout would go up every time Kyle
played a song (and there were many shouts) that the kids especially wanted to
dance to. Kyle had good timing for the things he did and he had some good
suggestions for us about how to get the kids going (start serving food, when to
distribute the necklaces, etc.). Kyle had a good sense of what the kids liked
and what they didn't like. If we have another party where we will need a DJ we
will certainly contact you." - Peter Seperack, Lafayette
Verteran's, March 30, 2007
"Kyle was great and I am so appreciative that you were able to send
someone so last-minute. I am sure that it was not the typical scene that he is
used to, but I know that everyone really enjoyed the music." -
Justine Mangold, Private Residence, March 16, 2007
"Thank you sooooooooo much for everything! The party was everything I
wanted it to be, definitely another successful Turkenitz-Denon & Doyle
party! The music was perfect, Kyle did a great job! The "stunna shades" were a
big hit, thanks again for EVERYTHING! Can't wait until my 18th!" -
Liat Turkenitz, Belmont Sports Complex, March 3, 2007
"The Teen party was EXACTLY what Brett wanted. The party was fun from
beginning to end, and I really think every single kid there had a great time.
You contributed to the party's success in so many ways: Your conscientiousness
in following up with us before the party led to you knowing exactly what Brett
wanted. Your suggestion about the decorations was the key aspect turning the
room into the feel we wanted. Your set up on the stage furthered the mood of a
real party. The choice of music was perfect. in fact Moms were telling me that
their kids told them that "the music makes the party and Brett had awesome
music". Your suggestion to hand out the glasses was a winner. Another Mom told
me, "My son wore those glasses all day on Sunday". Nobody wanted the party to
end, which is about the best testament we can give, and everyone was saying it
was the "coolest party ever". Thank you to you, Kyle, Beverly, Claire, and the
other guy (whose name I forget at the moment but I'm sure the kids know it)"
- Mylene Caplan, Peninsula Temple Sholom, January 27, 2007
"AJ and Kyle did an outstanding job of entertaining Christina, her
friends, and the adults. Together they surpassed my highest expectation.
Fantastic!" - Janet Paradiso, Blackhawk Country Club, January 26,
2007
"The dance went very well, Kyle was key. I guess you heard about the boy
who pulled the fire alarm before the last song was played. He won't be dancing
for a while. The students really seem to have enjoyed themselves."
- Mike Mattos, Pine Hollow Middle School, January 25, 2007
"Kids leaving said it was the best party ever. Kyle and the girls were
great. I'd say it was a big success. Tom said we'd get a disc or file with all
the images from the Photo booth. Several people have asked for photos so I
would love to have those files. We do not have a date for Anna yet but when we
get it we will let you know, because of course we want you again. I always know
that I don't have to worry about the party when I have you there" -
Debbie & Dave, Peninsula Temple Sholom, January 13, 2007
"The students who attended loved Kyle and want him back to do the rest
of the dances." - Mike Mattos, Pine Hollow Middle School, December
14, 2006
"I have to tell you that you, Ari, Courtney, AJ, Kyle and Gautum
absolutely made the party. it was beyond our wildest expectations. the dancers
were fun and personable and the kids were absolutely in love with them. YOU
were incredible. your energy is so right on but, even more importantly, your
read on the party and your flexibility was incredible. you had the great sense
to allow the kids to keep jammin on their own, bobby was absolutely over the
moon! A party would no longer be a party without denon and doyle. thank you so
much for absolutely everything." - Kerri Lehmann, Jewish Community
Center, December 2, 2006
"The party was a great success and Beverley, Kyle, Pam, and Kate all did
a good job. I'll likely be in touch in the near future as my younger daughter
will have a Bat Mitzvah in 2 years." - Charlene Sung, Hosfeld
Gallery, November 11, 2006
"Kyle was great - the kids really liked him. I have already given your
name to other people. Thanks ... the party went very well." - Doug
Prutton, Tice Valley, November 10, 2006
"I appreciate the follow up note. The party was fantastic and adding the
lights was key. I thought that Kyle did a great job" - Greg Mand,
4th Street Studios, October 21, 2006
"Kyle was absolutely perfect, 100%! We received positive feedback both
the day of the carnival and in the following days. Kyle did a professional job,
made it fun for all the children, kept things moving and became the star of the
carnival! I am certain that Denon and Doyle will be contacted for next year's
carnival, and Kyle requested. As always, I am pleased and proud to have
recommended your services!" - Terri O'Connell, Montclair Carnival,
October 15, 2006
"Thank you for checking in! Beverley & Kylie were Great! I will be
referring you to all my friends" - Jolene Winston, Hornblower
