"You did an AMAZING job at Rachel's Bat Mitzvah! WOW!!! Everyone, and I
mean everyone, had a great time at the party and we owe it, in large part, to
you and the D&D team. We heard lots of comments from the kids that "this
was the best party ever!" (imagine it being said in a teen dialect.) And the
adults were dancing and having a great time too. The fact that both groups
enjoyed the party says so much about how the party was MC'd. It was hard to
believe how M&K was transformed for the evening. The lighting was perfect!
The teen club was unbelievable. Get Flipped was a huge hit. And you were all so
creative in how you kept the kids entertained (loved the bubble wrap on the
floor!) We already want to reserve you for the weekend of May 22nd, 2010, when
Alex has his Bar Mitzvah! " - Audrey Finci, McCormick &
Kuleto's, October 11, 2008
"Patrick was awesome and so was the rest of the crew. Everyone from
young and old had a great time. I also had a great time. I didn't not have to
think about a thing. I was a guest at my own party which is hard for the host
to do. Patrick ran everything to a tee. If he had any questions, he found us.
Asked for our thoughts and gave his input how or when it should be done.
Patrick and his crew made the whole Bar Mitzvah. Without them, it would have
definitely had a different feel and not for the better. Brandon and all his
friends had a fantastic evening. Everyone was still talking a week after about
how much fun they had.
I am thrilled I found you guys and will definitely be giving you another
call when I get the date for my other son." - Brett Baumgarten,
Orchard Creek Lodge, September 20, 2008
"Patrick and crew were FABULOUS! My friend is going to call you
regarding a Mardi Gras benefit this March. I'll write a special "thank you" to
Patrick." - Vickie Silverman, Spinnaker Restaurant, September 6,
2008
"I just wanted to write to let you know what a fantastic event Rachael's
party was last Saturday - I received more compliments regarding Patrick, his
team and the photo booth which turned out to be quite a hit. Thank you again -
it was absolutely perfect!" - Sharon Noble, Temple Isaiah,
September 6, 2008
"I will write a more formal, well-formulated email when I'm not so
dog-tired but I had to let you know what a great time we all had on Saturday
night. You were nothing short of phenomenal on the stage and I have had more of
my friends and family ask where I found you because they've never seen such an
amazing djay. The music was just the right mix to keep everyone on the dance
floor having a fabulous time all night. Everyone is telling us that it was the
best bar or bat mitzvah they've ever attended and, judging by the way they
behaved on the dance floor, I don't think they're just being kind! You met and
exceeded all of our expectations and I can't thank you enough for everything.
Ally had the night of her life and so did David and I. I don't think anyone
will soon forget it and, in great measure, we have you to thank for that.
We're busy trying to think of any excuse to have another party just to
hire you again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" - Liz Rosenberg,
The Resort At Squaw Creek, August 16, 2008
"Patrick and crew were absolutely fantastic. Everyone I have spoken with
has said that they were spectacular and really made the party a hit. Ari was
adorable and the kids and adults alike loved her as well. The mix of music was
perfect and the flow of the party was just fabulous. Patrick is absolutely a
natural entertainer and kept the party going from the first minute to the very
end. I can't thank you enough. We will be calling you again in couple of years
for our other daughter's bat mitzvah!" - Dominique Harroch, Marin
Art & Garden Center, August 9, 2008
"Patrick could not have been any better-Amanda and Tyler were fabulous
as well!!" - Beth Nesis, Beth Chaim, July 12, 2008
"The party was a hugh hit. The kids had a ton of fun and it turned into
a big party which was unexpected but Patrick did a great job with it and
looking amazing. Just what my 18 year old client wanted, so thank-you for
accommodating our strange dress code request." - Patrick David's
Catering, Private Residence, July 11, 2008
"I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed having Patrick as our MC.
He is remarkably talented and delightful. His crew was also great. Thank you to
all of you for helping make the evening truly special! Many guests also
commented on Patrick and what an amazing job he did!" - Peggy
Stone, Berkeley City Club, June 21, 2008
"Let me start off by saying Patrick was AWESOME!!! I knew, having worked
with D&D in the past that they would do a wonderful job. However, Patrick
blew the expectations of August and I out of the water. He kept the guests on
the dance floor the whole night. Everyone couldn't stop telling us how much
they loved the music. I believe my cousin, who is getting married next month in
Michigan was writing down almost every song to have played at her wedding.
Overall, as an event planner I will recommend your company every time I
can. I had a wonderful experience working with you from the impressive first
meeting till the end. Thank you again to everyone for making my wedding a
memorable and fun experience." - Sarah Rogers, Casa De La Vista, June 7,
2008
"Outstanding. Patrick and everyone else was outstanding. Girls were
outstanding. Great time, thanks alot. A few of my friends will probably be
coming your way." - Anita & Alan Roth, Shadelands Art Center,
May 25, 2008
"Patrick was amazing last night and really gave it his all. Great group
of kids too help, and I wanted to let you know what a good job they did. Thanks
for getting Katie to come she is a 'really nice person."" - Wendy
Laxerson, Peninsula Temple Sholom, May 17, 2008
"The party was huge hit. Kids told Mathison afterwards it was the best
party they've ever attended. Of course, not having adults around was
a big plus ;o) Your team was fantastic. Ellis comes in for special compliments
for his poppin', lockin', and head spins. But everybody worked their butt
off... and probably took a few pounds off the kids in the process.
A special mention of Patrick too. It wouldn't have been a party without
him. Thanks for a great job!" - Suzanne & Jonathon Young,
Temple Isaiah, April 26, 2008
"We worked with Patrick for our wedding, and could not have been more
happy! From our first consultation, to the end of our event, he was thoroughly
professional and had a great personality. He definitely knew how to get the
party started, and kept the energy up throughout the night. We wouldn't have
changed a thing! " - Katie Paul, Kohl Mansion, April 18,
2008
"There are not words to describe the job done by Patrick and his team!
From the pre event preparations to the post celebration clean up, I could not
have asked for more! Melanie and her friends played games, got crazy, and
danced the night away. Our friends played games, got crazy and danced the night
away. Whoever says kids and adults cannot party together has never had Patrick,
Ari, Amanda, and Devon rock their world!! All I can say is... We are SO HAPPY!!
Many thanks as well to Mark, Chris, You (of course) and my superhero Tyrone for
the extra time and energy they gave us and for always smiling, not running when
Mel and I walk through the door. Gracias, Merci, and THANK YOU!!!!"
- Vickie Eiges, Crow Canyon Country Club, April 12, 2008
"I don't know if you recall, but I first saw you (and heard of D&D)
at the Meisel's Bar Mitzvah back a few years. I thought you were great, you had
me up and dancing. I knew then I wanted you to be the DJ at my daughter's Bat
Mitzvah.
When you assigned Mark (is that right?) Addington to Melanie's Bat
Mitzvah, I was reluctant at first, and disappointed. I checked him out at
another venue and was more than relieved. He was perfect, the event was
perfect, everything went without a hitch. He was a big hit. So, we came back
for more. Hoping to get Mark but not able to, I threw caution to the wind and
went w/ Patrick, taking your word for it, didn't even check him out at another
event.
I am without words (which is unusual) to tell you how unbelievable he
and the team were. I didn't have to do anything. The energy level was
infectious. The organization impeccable. The entire evening was discernibly
professional. When we asked them to turn things down because of my Dad's
hearing, there wasn't a complaint or the rolling of an eye (at least
that we could see). Everyone... and I mean everyone, was raving about Patrick.
In fact, several people asked for his/your name and number and you should
be hearing from them, if you haven't already.
I've been to countless Bar and Bat Mitzvahs (and so have the kids), and
everyone always raves about their DJs-- even when they are pathetic--
but I always wink to myself inside because I know you guys really are the
best, the most professional, the most fun, the most accommodating. As soon
as I get Jake's Bar Mitzvah date, you are hired. And then we'll start w/
the weddings, etc.
By the way, I am always hyper critical and I usually have something to
say about everything to suggest improvement. I don't and I wouldn't change
anything. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I did all the party planning for this event myself and could not have
pulled it off without Patrick taking the lead as he did, and doing it so well.
Many, many thanks." - Sally Zelikovsky, Spinnaker Restaurant, March
29, 2008
"The entire Denon and Doyle team did a stupendous job ! The party was a
huge success. We're still hearing rave reviews from parents and kids alike.
Most importantly, Victor had a wonderful time on his special day. We want to
thank Patrick, AJ, Ari, Katie and Rachel-- we deeply appreciate the full-out
effort they made so successfully. We also want to thank you for all the help on
the lead-up to the party." - Howard Golub, Bridges Golf Club, March
22, 2008
"YOU GUYS ROCKED THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT! Thanks so very much for doing
such an awesome job, Patrick. You and Kyle and your team were the best ever.
From the way you ran the show, to the music to the dancers and the photo booth,
you all worked so hard, and you really made "Club Pink" an outstanding success.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" - Erin Bloom, Temple Isaiah, March 15,
2008
"Hi Dan - Patrick was so on last night - I've never seen him perform so
well at a party. I absolutely loved it - the party was a huge success. I really
think your team has made a big step forward in the grand entrance process. The
staff Patrick had was wonderful too. Great energy and dancing all night long."
- Jayne Greenburg, San Francisco Zoo, February 16, 2008
"It was the best party ever. Patrick and his crew made the Bar Mitzvah a
very fun, energizing and exhilarating event. It would not have been the
same without them. So I thank you. People have not stopped talking about
it... saying it was the best Bar Mtizvah they had been to." - Susan Raifman,
Claremont Resort, February 9, 2008
"Patrick and the team did a great job at Matthew's Bar Mitzvah. I did
not have to worry about a thing. Patrick had everybody on the dance floor for
the hora and I had guests who have never dance the hora before. A lot of people
asked me for the name of the dj, so you should be getting some calls. I cannot
be more pleased with the outcome of the party. It was simply fantastic.
Everyone commented on what a great party it was... thanks to Patrick, Cameron,
Katie & Kelsey. I told Patrick what a great job he did but I want you to
let him know again that I am VERY happy that the party turned out so memorable
for Matthew and everyone is talking about it. You guys ARE the BEST!"
- Emily Sidell, Pacific Athletic Club, January 26,
2008
"WOW. You created a fabulous party for us - and thanks so much for going
with the extra giveaways instead of the lights. Given the number of kids we
had, I think that was a really good decision. They loved it, and I don't think
they would have noticed the lights in the afternoon! I had many, many people
saying that Patrick was fantastic. Simply the best they've seen! Nonstop
energy! I had some adult friends saying they're ready to plan a party just so
they could invite him back! " - Gail Brager, Temple Isaiah,
December 8, 2007
"We just wanted to thank you for such a rocking party last night.
Everyone just had an awesome time. Literally within a half our of our returning
home ( @ 11:30) Marissa's friends were im'ing her about how much fun they had
and what a great party it was.
There were about 8 16-18 year olds that initially were going to the
Winter Formal at Paly and decided to ditch it to come to our party . Their
review was it was way more fun than winter formal would have been.
Even the grandparents commented on how great you guys were and how well
you kept the kids engaged and having fun. ( Ok.. they said it was a little
loud too but... that's to be expected I guess!) Your crew was also terrific.
Fun and friendly. Thanks again. You totally delivered." - Dana Heirich,
Congregation Beth Am, December 8, 2007
"Our event was amazing!! We are getting so many compliments, mostly for
you guys - Patrick & his team were GREAT !!" - Julie Westle,
Harbor Point Racquet Club, November 17, 2007
"I just wanted to say how happy I was with Patrick and all the other
people that performed on Saturday night. They were so terrific! Everyone had a
great time. Patrick and the gang did a tremendous job." - Susan
Snyder, Corinthian Yacht Club, November 10, 2007
"Jacob's dad Jim here... I'm certain I speak for both Pamela and myself
in saying that Patrick did a wonderful job keeping the party flowing,
selecting the best music possible throughout the evening and astutely "reading" the
crowd and adjusting his role as needed.... thanks also to Cameron and
Amanda who also did a great job... Also, I want to especially thank Patrick
for helping us prepare the candlelighting ceremony... this turned out
to be probably the most special part of the celebration.. to tell you
the truth, if Patrick hadn't brought up the candlelighting at our planning
meeting I probably would not have thought of it (though Pam may have)........" - Pamela Rennert,
Westin SF, November 3, 2007
"I meant to email my utmost praise, and no criticism (rare for me)
earlier, but I had family in town until today. Patrick was absolutely
sensational! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Maybe even better than
you!.. don't kill me.) He kept the crowd hopping all night, and
pulled out all of the stops in the last hour or so. My guests never left
the dance floor! Everyone remarked that they had such a blast. That is
exactly what I wanted -- nonstop fun on the dance floor. In fact, I
never even ate the hot dogs, salads, ice cream sundaes or popcorn, or
visited the ladies'
room, because I didn't want to miss even one song. It was the best
sock hop ever.
Patrick brought his A game. He kept the sock hop well
paced, and really knew the crowd. We enjoyed his selection of songs,
and cadence. The bubblegum game, and volleyball, and limbo, and balloon
game were pure childlike fun fun fun! I couldn't have imagined a better
DJ. My guests did inquire as to where I found the DJ, so you know how
popular Patrick was at the hop! Your dancers were also top-notch. They
were complimented by my guests as well. They added the extra touch, and
ambience. They kept everyone entertained all night. Even when the party was
just getting started, and early guests were filtering in, taking photos, and
greeting the bday girl, they were up there on stage dancing, and setting the
mood. Each was terrific, and I'm
glad we had AJ! Sasha also had a ton of energy!!!! So, what a hit. What
a night!!!! Please pass this praise onto Patrick and the dancers. They
really made my 50th bday a swonderful one! Bob has promised to put the
photos online, which I will also pass on, since there is a terrific one
of the group with me."
- Debra Bogards, Mill Valley Community Center, November 2,
2007
"I cannot express enough how happy we were with Patrick. He had everyone
up and dancing! I had a really wide range of people there in terms of age, and
there was something for everyone. Even my Mom - who is very conservative, very
religious, and not inclined to be happy listening to "secular" music - was on
the dance floor as much as her hostess duties allowed, and remarked at length
how happy she was with the music and the flow of the evening. (Patrick also
covered my rear end when a technical snafu resulted in my CD with our first
dance not playing right - GREAT under pressure!) It was an absolute pleasure
doing business with your company. thanks again!" - Cheryl Forest,
Fault Line Brewery, October 13, 2007
"Eva and her friends had a wonderful time. I cannot say enough good
things about your entire staff. Particularly, Patrick was incredible...! We
were so impressed with the professionalism as well as the enthusiasm shown by
Patrick Ari, Cameron and Quinn. Our family and friends had an amazing time, and
we will certainly recommend Denon and Doyle in the future. Thank you so much
for helping make such an important day truly special!!!" - Stewart
Duboff, Temple Emanu-El, September 15, 2007
"Patrick and his team were the BESSSSSSSSSSSSSST! They were awesome.
There were logistical concerns regarding the venue and the lack of space due to
some last minute changes that the venue made with the set up, but it did not
stop your group from being the best ever. Guests loved them, and everyone had a
great time. My own kids want me to invite all four of your team to move up to
Sacramento permanently. They want them to be at every event that they're
invited too :) I can't express to you enough how much I appreciate you and your
team's professionalism. I never have to worry about ONE THING with music,
dancing, guests having a good time etc. when I have you on board with an event
that I am planning." - Pamela David, Vizcaya, September 8,
2007
"Patrick and the gang were great. Patrick was actually off the charts
and I received rave comments on his performance. His professionalism, mixed in
with his wonderful charm and love for performing was what got this group up and
partying. He read his audience and was able to engage what could have been a
"quiet" audience. He was the ultimate professional. I am so looking forward to
working with him again and again!" - Vickie Eiges, San Ramon
Community Center, August 11, 2007
"Patrick was simply marvelous in every way. He even looked the party in
his 1960's wig and attire. His sense of timing and his professionalism were the
best I have ever seen. During and after the party my guests kept saying "Who is
that DJ? He is fantastic"! I couldn't be more pleased. Patrick was able to get
a sense of what the crowd needed and he effectively worked the program into a
marvelous crescendo. The guests were literally leaping out of their seats with
excitement. You can be sure that in the future when the need arises at one of
our many planned events, we will ask for Patrick. It's great to know that we
can rely on your company as one of our preferred vendors. Many many thanks for
a job well done! And feel free to use any of my comments in any of your
promotional literature or for other references. I'm more than happy to sing
your praises!" - Sherri Ferris, Sonoma Meritage, June 30,
2007
"Patrick was absolutely fantastic! He was very polite and open
for any changes or requests that I asked for. Things got a bit off schedule and
he handled them very calmly and very professional. I just hope my "crazy"
family didn't drive him made. They sort of took over at the end with their
performance - they created a CD with songs related to Elliott's Bar Mitzvah,
the songs were hilarious. I hope Patrick didn't mind them sort of taking the
stage. I was so busy I didn't get a chance to thank all of them. So thank you
very much! We loved the bubble wrap and all the other things too. " -Linda Buda, Concord Hilton, June 16, 2007
"What a great and successful evening. Thanks to all of your
adorable staff my daughter was a true princess at her Bat Mitzvah!!!! I could
not have pulled it off with out them." - Lori Margulies, Frantoio
Ristorante, June 2, 2007
"The wedding was absolutely wonderful. If we had to do it all
over again, there's nothing we'd do differently. Seriously! And
Patrick... what a gem! He is AWESOME. He has the perfect personality for
what he does. Michael and I truly enjoyed having him do our wedding and
are so glad we chose him. We for sure did that part of the planning right!
He kept the party going. I don't think there was a time the dance floor
was empty. He knew exactly what to do and when. He worked hard, did his
job very well and I would recommend him over and over again. In fact, we
have some friends getting married in September who were very impressed
with Patrick - They loved him! Denon and Doyle has a fantastic DJ in Patrick.
I wouldn't let him go! Patrick will be part of the wonderful memories we
have of the biggest day of our lives! We will continue to pass on the good
word about D&D and Patrick!" - Brooke & Michael,
Scott's Gardens, May 31, 2007
"ONLY compliments for Patrick, Tyrone, Beverley, April and
Louis!! It was a fantastic party--- your team was amazing. Ellie
and her friends never stopped dancing. The "big" kids (my high school & college-aged
group) may have even had as much fun as the 13 year olds. My favorite
quote, from a 21 year old guest, was 'Ellie's bat mitzvah was more fun
than a college party' ---- don't think I can top that!" - Beverly Davis, Montclair Womens
Club, May 26, 2007
"Patrick was great, his timing, presentation and energy was
terrific. April was also wonderful working with the kids getting the games
going, etc. The music accompaniment for the "puzzle" ceremony was also right on
target. Just what we had in mind..." - Steve Lowinger,Claremont Resort
& Spa, May 26, 2007
"Patrick was great. The photo bar was a huge hit and the guys
running it were adorable. Thanks again for a fabulous evening of dancing." - Lisa lmeitus, The "W" Hotel, May 19, 2007
"Please thank Patrick, Cameron, Pam and Christell for all their
hard work. Patrick was always professional, kept everything running smoothly,
and the kids had a great time." - Jim Wieder, Lafayette Park Hotel, May
12, 2007
"Patrick and Cameron did a great job keeping the kids entertained
which kept the party flowing very nicely. We are so glad they were there to MC
and DJ our event. Best regards!" - Jacquie Duckworth, Private Residence,
May 5, 2007
"Please pass along our appreciation for a phenomenal job by
Patrick, Cameron, April and Sasha! They truly made the party. Everyone has
raved about how they created a fantastic festive atmosphere and made everyone
feel included, kids and adults alike. Lauren is on cloud nine! She felt like a
princess and is so overwhelmed with happiness that she has not even shown any
interest in opening her gifts! She is basking in the joy of her celebration and
so are we. (Just this morning my 6 year old made me swear that I would hire
them again for his Bar Mitzvah!) Many thanks to Patrick and company. You made a
special day even more magical!" - The Goody Family, Claremont Country
Club, May 5, 2007
"Patrick was great! He was really on top of keeping us where we
should be! The music picks were great! We will definitely use you guys again if
we hold an event. Thank you so much for everything! " - Jessica Loomis,
Round Hill Country Club, April 28, 2007
"Patrick and Solomon are the greatest. All of your people are
fabulous. You proved that yourself at the Abeles Event. I've now had Patrick
and Solomon at difficult events and they have both come out shining like a
star. Also, I was very impressed with Solomon at the meeting we had with the
Levy's. He was great. You've got 2 great guys here not to mention Addington and
yourself. Your energy providers have risen to the top from what I've seen
before. As I said, I used to bring in Hart to Hart all of the time. You are
every bit as good if not better. I am so pleased with the way our relationship
is going, and I'm so happy to be able to count on your guys 1000 percent. I
also have to mention all of your new gadgets. Love what you're doing in that
respect also. Thank-you for being so professional." - Joannie Liss, Mill
Valley Community Center, April 14, 2007
"It was spectacular. Please let everyone know there is nothing
they could have done better." - Liz Perle, Kelly's Mission Rock, March
24, 2007
"It was all great! Patrick and the entire team did a fabulous
job. Please let them know." - Carmen Diyommo, Signature Yachts, March 17,
2007
"Patrick, Alex & Morgan were absolutely fantastic. So many of
my friends, and Emily's, commented on how fabulous the DJ was. Even the kids
who have already had their bat/bat mitzvah's said Emily's party was the best.
Your staff was professional, punctual, respectful and extremely easy to work
with. Patrick dealt with several situations with complete ease and confidence.
Our photographer wanted to stop and take a few photos just as the party was
hopping. Patrick was able to recover the momentum easily. Not an easy feat. The
people who work at Dublin Ranch even said they have never seen so many people
on the dance floor, and for the entire evening! My 17 year old, Andrew, even
asked Patrick if he could have a business card... he wants to come work for
you! That has to be one of the highest and most solid votes of confidence and
an enormous compliment to your company." - Debby Alberts, Dublin Ranch
Golf Club, February 10, 2007
"Patrick was great!!! there was no bathroom drama, no kids on
cell phones, no freak dancing-- all the brandeis parents are happy and will be
calling you for their events." - Harriet Prensky, Westn SF Hotel,
February 3, 2007
"Thank you so much for sending Patrick to my event! He was a
blast to work with and did an excellent job! Attached are some photos, do you
mind passing them on to him and let him know I said Hello? You can see by the
photos how miserable he was (ha)! Look forward to working with your team again
" - Stephanie Queral, Palace Hotel, February 2, 2007
"Patrick did an excellent job. Your services were great and I am
very glad that we were able to throw such a successful Associate Event as a JW
Marriott. Patrick's music selection was excellent - considering that I gave him
absolutely nothing to work with. Our associates requested music genres and
specific songs as the night progressed. Patrick did a small raffle for us and
really kept the audience's attention. Please tell him thank you for me. He
really helped create the type of energy we needed to make this event
successful!" - Alex Marin, JW Marriott Hotel, January 28, 2007
"Patrick is fantastic!!! Absolutely LOVE him. Thank-you again for
being so wonderful. I feel like I'm in such good hands with you. You've really
got good people working for you." - Joannie Liss, Great American Music
Hall, January 20, 2007
"Thanks Dan - a great time was had by all. The best compliment
came from my daughter Ricki. She had a great time and told me she definitely
wants Patrick to be the DJ at her Bat Mitzvah (as Patrick knows, coming from
her this is a BIG compliment). She said "Patrick got all the kids involved in
games and dancing and he NEVER stopped - he was really cool and fun". So thanks
to everyone - we appreciate it." - Laurie Bienstock, Presidio Officer's
Club, January 14, 2007
"We were THRILLED with the entire team! Patrick, Seth, Claire and
Beverly were all terrific! We will definately recommend you to any of our
friends in need of a DJ and would certainly use you again if we have a need in
the future. Fortunately, Jordan is our only child, so at least it won't be for
another Bar or Bat Mitzvah! Thanks for everything!" - Le Eisman, Oakland
Scottish Rite Center, January 13, 2007
"I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank You for a great
job. You were wonderful pre-event with all the last minute requests
and Patrick was fantastic yesterday very professional - I thoroughly enjoyed
working with both of you. I had to leave right before the "entertainment" yesterday
as I had thrown my back out earlier in the week and was really feeling
it after setting up and being there for 5 hours. My event planner, Karen,
was there though and she commented on how terrific Patrick was with the
American Idol show.... that he did such a great job with introductions
and was so smooth going from one act to the other. He'll be up there at
the top of our request list from now on. Please thank him for me." - Miraglia Catering, Milpitas Headquarters,
December 14, 2006
"Oh my god, they were awesome. They didn't stop for one minute.
The dance floor was packed the entire evening. Alex was incredibly happy, same
with Bob and Merritt. Just the right amount of EVERYTHING. The kids didn't want
to dance alone and the adults were real party animals. Patrick was terrific. He
knew he didn't have to soften this crowd and he didn't. Kudos to him and to
you. Always a pleasure." - Barbara Kweller, Scott's Seafood, December 9,
2006
"Thank you for everything. What I appreciate the most about using
Denon and Doyle is your professionalism and attention to good service. I was in
a service business for quite some time and I always appreciate good service.
Your attention to detail and your follow up has been wonderful. I have always
said that good service is so easy to provide yet so hard to find. So, thank
you! Patrick and Michael were very professional and catered the party to our
son and our needs as well. I will definitely recommend you to our friends.
Everyone had a great time." - Kaylyn Hyman, Kenwood Depot, November 11,
2006
"The buzz is all over my space, that is what my son tells me, I
do not go on it, but bet you could to read all about the best
party of the year! Mark, Patrick and the entire team did an amazing
job, everyone of them was professional and fun, smiles on their
faces and just so glad that we hired you all to do our event. Would I hire
you and your team again? YOU BET, and I will. Please send our sincerely
and heartfelt thanks and we will send you a video when it is done to see,
photos too if you would like. I promise to be your number one supporter
so send your prospective clients my contact if they need to hear from a
customer just how fantastic your crew is. I think I answered you question!
Thank you again to the entire staff and the greatest dancers ever, they
were all fantastic." - Lisa Vogel, Peacock Gap Country
Club, November 4, 2006
"We had a great time, the kids had a greater than great time.
Justin was king for the day and Patrick ensured that. He was
the best! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never seen Justin have
so much fun. Everyone of his friends were having a great time. My favorite
was watching them jump on the bubble wrap and Justin running out in the
Green jacket. The fact that Patrick was able to find Cleveland Rocks was
unbelievable. We had a great day and largely because of Patrick." -Leslie Wise, Lafayette Park Hotel,
October 21, 2006
"Speaking for myself, my wife Helga, and for Julien, I can say
that we were thrilled with the party.-- Julien said that it was
"fantastic" and "the best bar-mitzvah party" he has attended.-- Julien
says that all of his friends feel the same way. -- Patrick was
really dynamic. -- It was also nice that you managed to involve the
young children as well as the teenagers. -- So thanks for a great
event! -- We
will definitely recommend you to our friends." - Jonah Levy, Sequoyah Country
Club, October 14, 2006
"The party was great! Patrick and crew were wonderful. We had the
best time! People are still talking and buzzing. And your going to be getting
some calls for future events." - Randal DeNola, Sheraton Gateway Hotel,
October 7, 2006
"Thank you so much for such a wonderful event! Without you,
things would not have been nearly as fun." - Jennifer & Ryan, Sir
Francis Drake, September 24, 2006
"Patrick was wonderful, fantastic and so very accommodating!" - Marcia Barkoff, Private Residence, September 23, 2006
"The party was great and Patrick was amazing! As soon as we met,
I knew things would go smoothly. The whole crew did a fantastic job but I
especially appreciated Patrick's ability to keep the party going and to be
aware of the mood of the kids. He also kept me in the loop for everything that
was happening. I've passed a card onto the dean of our middle school. She was
there too and saw how much the kids enjoyed themselves. Thanks again for
everything. Patrick and his team were fantastic, talented, fun, and great to be
around!" - Raina Cohen, Temple Emanu-El, September 2, 2006
"Buzz doesn't begin to describe it. Even though our Bat Mitzvah
was at the end of the cycle, and we thought people had seen it all, we're
getting many compliments about how much more fun and how smoothly running our
party was. I don't know exactly what I did differently than some of our
friends, but I know that having your team made a huge difference. There were so
many of them that they kept the kids engaged and always wanting to know what
was next.
The photo bar was also novel and a constant source of entertainment.
Patrick was very helpful from Day 1 when we met at your offices
through to the end of the party Saturday night. He really made sure things
ran smoothly. The dance team was fantastic! They acted just like big kids." - Madayn
Friedman, Hyatt Regency-SF, August 26, 2006
"I enjoyed every moment of my daughter's special day. Thanks for
rolling with the punches with me and being flexible. The kids had a fabulous
time as did we all." - Mindy Murphy, Roundhill Country Club, August 26,
2006
"I would like to send my thanks to you and your company - it was
truly the perfect wedding. I have received so many comments on
how the music and mood was perfect through out the evening, and
I owe it all to Patrick. He is an amazing guy - and without him,
the wedding may have been different. He made sure we all knew
what to expect and where to be - he was more than just a djay
- he ran the whole wedding! I would recommend him and your company
to anyone! I would love to get his email to thank him - I really
appreciate all his hard work and energy! There wasn't one moment
where the dance floor wasn't packed - we had to start dancing
on the carpet around our tables!" - Lauren & Chris,
Arden Hills Country Club, July 15, 2006
"The party was great Saturday. Everyone had a wonderful time.
There was so much energy in the room and I have many people tell me that
Patrick was so nice to everyone. DJ's can really make or break a party and
Patrick and the entire group did an amazing job. You are lucky to have them
working for Denon and Doyle. I can't say enough about them. We all had a blast.
I think they did to." - Karyn Fishman, San Ramon Community Center, June
17, 2006
"Patrick and Co. were perfect for this group, kids and adults
both. The kids and adults danced together! What I loved most, is that Patrick
seemed to have fun himself, he danced a lot, he came into the adult area with
his mike to get the adults out there - And he kept in touch with me, and 'read'
me easily, he was direct but not rude about what he thought should happen
next." - Amy Franzblau, Lucie Stern Community Center, May 20, 2006
"The good buzz is still going on thanks to Patrick!! I can't say
enough about how good Patrick was for this group and his professionalism with
us. He followed the agenda we requested and took care of everything!!! It made
our night a lot easier!! We of course will be talking up your company to all
our friends. Thank again for the great job. We really appreciate it." - Sharon Price, Blakes at Boundary Oaks, April 22, 2006
"Just wanted to let you know that Patrick was great for Katie's
Bday! We really enjoyed having him and he was great at what he did to provide
excellent atmosphere!" - Jenna Hueckstaedt, Aziza, April 15, 2006
"I have been meaning to give you a call. I can't say enough
positive things about Patrick! He did a great job, and Ashley
and her friends just loved him. I have already been able to pass
your name on to a friend who was asking for future reference. Thank you
so much for your professional and wonderful service - we will look forward
to the next time!!" - Pamela
Stefan, Wood Hall, April 1, 2006
"Patrick was awesome!! I know Mark prepped him with music, but he
went above and beyond. He was totally interactive with the kids and they had a
great time." - Joan Danilson, Stone Valley Middle School, March 24,
2006
"Just another note to thank you for doing a great job. We have
heard from many people this week who had a fantastic time listening and dancing
to the wonderful music. See you at their weddings!" - Beth Kleiner,
Pacific Athletic Club, March 11, 2006
"Everything was great! The dance floor was packed all night and
we had tons of fun. Patrick did a great job!" - Kandace Kaylor, Sir

"You did an AMAZING job at Rachel's Bat Mitzvah! WOW!!! Everyone, and I mean everyone, had a great time at the party and we owe it, in large part, to you and the D&D team. We heard lots of comments from the kids that "this was the best party ever!" (imagine it being said in a teen dialect.) And the adults were dancing and having a great time too. The fact that both groups enjoyed the party says so much about how the party was MC'd. It was hard to believe how M&K was transformed for the evening. The lighting was perfect! The teen club was unbelievable. Get Flipped was a huge hit. And you were all so creative in how you kept the kids entertained (loved the bubble wrap on the floor!) We already want to reserve you for the weekend of May 22nd, 2010, when Alex has his Bar Mitzvah! "
- Audrey Finci, McCormick & Kuleto's, October 11, 2008
"Patrick was awesome and so was the rest of the crew. Everyone from young and old had a great time. I also had a great time. I didn't not have to think about a thing. I was a guest at my own party which is hard for the host to do. Patrick ran everything to a tee. If he had any questions, he found us. Asked for our thoughts and gave his input how or when it should be done. Patrick and his crew made the whole Bar Mitzvah. Without them, it would have definitely had a different feel and not for the better. Brandon and all his friends had a fantastic evening. Everyone was still talking a week after about how much fun they had.
I am thrilled I found you guys and will definitely be giving you another call when I get the date for my other son."
- Brett Baumgarten, Orchard Creek Lodge, September 20, 2008
"Patrick and crew were FABULOUS! My friend is going to call you regarding a Mardi Gras benefit this March. I'll write a special "thank you" to Patrick."
- Vickie Silverman, Spinnaker Restaurant, September 6, 2008
"I just wanted to write to let you know what a fantastic event Rachael's party was last Saturday - I received more compliments regarding Patrick, his team and the photo booth which turned out to be quite a hit. Thank you again - it was absolutely perfect!"
- Sharon Noble, Temple Isaiah, September 6, 2008
"I will write a more formal, well-formulated email when I'm not so dog-tired but I had to let you know what a great time we all had on Saturday night. You were nothing short of phenomenal on the stage and I have had more of my friends and family ask where I found you because they've never seen such an amazing djay. The music was just the right mix to keep everyone on the dance floor having a fabulous time all night. Everyone is telling us that it was the best bar or bat mitzvah they've ever attended and, judging by the way they behaved on the dance floor, I don't think they're just being kind! You met and exceeded all of our expectations and I can't thank you enough for everything. Ally had the night of her life and so did David and I. I don't think anyone will soon forget it and, in great measure, we have you to thank for that.
We're busy trying to think of any excuse to have another party just to hire you again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"
- Liz Rosenberg, The Resort At Squaw Creek, August 16, 2008
"Patrick and crew were absolutely fantastic. Everyone I have spoken with has said that they were spectacular and really made the party a hit. Ari was adorable and the kids and adults alike loved her as well. The mix of music was perfect and the flow of the party was just fabulous. Patrick is absolutely a natural entertainer and kept the party going from the first minute to the very end. I can't thank you enough. We will be calling you again in couple of years for our other daughter's bat mitzvah!"
- Dominique Harroch, Marin Art & Garden Center, August 9, 2008
"Patrick could not have been any better-Amanda and Tyler were fabulous as well!!"
- Beth Nesis, Beth Chaim, July 12, 2008
"The party was a hugh hit. The kids had a ton of fun and it turned into a big party which was unexpected but Patrick did a great job with it and looking amazing. Just what my 18 year old client wanted, so thank-you for accommodating our strange dress code request."
- Patrick David's Catering, Private Residence, July 11, 2008
"I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed having Patrick as our MC. He is remarkably talented and delightful. His crew was also great. Thank you to all of you for helping make the evening truly special! Many guests also commented on Patrick and what an amazing job he did!"
- Peggy Stone, Berkeley City Club, June 21, 2008
"Let me start off by saying Patrick was AWESOME!!! I knew, having worked with D&D in the past that they would do a wonderful job. However, Patrick blew the expectations of August and I out of the water. He kept the guests on the dance floor the whole night. Everyone couldn't stop telling us how much they loved the music. I believe my cousin, who is getting married next month in Michigan was writing down almost every song to have played at her wedding.
Overall, as an event planner I will recommend your company every time I can. I had a wonderful experience working with you from the impressive first meeting till the end. Thank you again to everyone for making my wedding a memorable and fun experience."
- Sarah Rogers, Casa De La Vista, June 7, 2008
"Outstanding. Patrick and everyone else was outstanding. Girls were outstanding. Great time, thanks alot. A few of my friends will probably be coming your way."
- Anita & Alan Roth, Shadelands Art Center, May 25, 2008
"Patrick was amazing last night and really gave it his all. Great group of kids too help, and I wanted to let you know what a good job they did. Thanks for getting Katie to come she is a 'really nice person.""
- Wendy Laxerson, Peninsula Temple Sholom, May 17, 2008
"The party was huge hit. Kids told Mathison afterwards it was the best party they've ever attended. Of course, not having adults around was a big plus ;o) Your team was fantastic. Ellis comes in for special compliments for his poppin', lockin', and head spins. But everybody worked their butt off... and probably took a few pounds off the kids in the process.
A special mention of Patrick too. It wouldn't have been a party without him. Thanks for a great job!"
- Suzanne & Jonathon Young, Temple Isaiah, April 26, 2008
"We worked with Patrick for our wedding, and could not have been more happy! From our first consultation, to the end of our event, he was thoroughly professional and had a great personality. He definitely knew how to get the party started, and kept the energy up throughout the night. We wouldn't have changed a thing! "
- Katie Paul, Kohl Mansion, April 18, 2008
"There are not words to describe the job done by Patrick and his team! From the pre event preparations to the post celebration clean up, I could not have asked for more! Melanie and her friends played games, got crazy, and danced the night away. Our friends played games, got crazy and danced the night away. Whoever says kids and adults cannot party together has never had Patrick, Ari, Amanda, and Devon rock their world!! All I can say is... We are SO HAPPY!! Many thanks as well to Mark, Chris, You (of course) and my superhero Tyrone for the extra time and energy they gave us and for always smiling, not running when Mel and I walk through the door. Gracias, Merci, and THANK YOU!!!!"
- Vickie Eiges, Crow Canyon Country Club, April 12, 2008
"I don't know if you recall, but I first saw you (and heard of D&D) at the Meisel's Bar Mitzvah back a few years. I thought you were great, you had me up and dancing. I knew then I wanted you to be the DJ at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah.
When you assigned Mark (is that right?) Addington to Melanie's Bat Mitzvah, I was reluctant at first, and disappointed. I checked him out at another venue and was more than relieved. He was perfect, the event was perfect, everything went without a hitch. He was a big hit. So, we came back for more. Hoping to get Mark but not able to, I threw caution to the wind and went w/ Patrick, taking your word for it, didn't even check him out at another event.
I am without words (which is unusual) to tell you how unbelievable he and the team were. I didn't have to do anything. The energy level was infectious. The organization impeccable. The entire evening was discernibly professional. When we asked them to turn things down because of my Dad's hearing, there wasn't a complaint or the rolling of an eye (at least that we could see). Everyone... and I mean everyone, was raving about Patrick. In fact, several people asked for his/your name and number and you should be hearing from them, if you haven't already.
I've been to countless Bar and Bat Mitzvahs (and so have the kids), and everyone always raves about their DJs-- even when they are pathetic-- but I always wink to myself inside because I know you guys really are the best, the most professional, the most fun, the most accommodating. As soon as I get Jake's Bar Mitzvah date, you are hired. And then we'll start w/ the weddings, etc.
By the way, I am always hyper critical and I usually have something to say about everything to suggest improvement. I don't and I wouldn't change anything. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I did all the party planning for this event myself and could not have pulled it off without Patrick taking the lead as he did, and doing it so well. Many, many thanks."
- Sally Zelikovsky, Spinnaker Restaurant, March 29, 2008
"The entire Denon and Doyle team did a stupendous job ! The party was a huge success. We're still hearing rave reviews from parents and kids alike. Most importantly, Victor had a wonderful time on his special day. We want to thank Patrick, AJ, Ari, Katie and Rachel-- we deeply appreciate the full-out effort they made so successfully. We also want to thank you for all the help on the lead-up to the party."
- Howard Golub, Bridges Golf Club, March 22, 2008
"YOU GUYS ROCKED THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT! Thanks so very much for doing such an awesome job, Patrick. You and Kyle and your team were the best ever. From the way you ran the show, to the music to the dancers and the photo booth, you all worked so hard, and you really made "Club Pink" an outstanding success. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!"
- Erin Bloom, Temple Isaiah, March 15, 2008
"Hi Dan - Patrick was so on last night - I've never seen him perform so well at a party. I absolutely loved it - the party was a huge success. I really think your team has made a big step forward in the grand entrance process. The staff Patrick had was wonderful too. Great energy and dancing all night long."
- Jayne Greenburg, San Francisco Zoo, February 16, 2008
"It was the best party ever. Patrick and his crew made the Bar Mitzvah a very fun, energizing and exhilarating event. It would not have been the same without them. So I thank you. People have not stopped talking about it... saying it was the best Bar Mtizvah they had been to."
- Susan Raifman, Claremont Resort, February 9, 2008
"Patrick and the team did a great job at Matthew's Bar Mitzvah. I did not have to worry about a thing. Patrick had everybody on the dance floor for the hora and I had guests who have never dance the hora before. A lot of people asked me for the name of the dj, so you should be getting some calls. I cannot be more pleased with the outcome of the party. It was simply fantastic. Everyone commented on what a great party it was... thanks to Patrick, Cameron, Katie & Kelsey. I told Patrick what a great job he did but I want you to let him know again that I am VERY happy that the party turned out so memorable for Matthew and everyone is talking about it. You guys ARE the BEST!"
- Emily Sidell, Pacific Athletic Club, January 26, 2008
"WOW. You created a fabulous party for us - and thanks so much for going with the extra giveaways instead of the lights. Given the number of kids we had, I think that was a really good decision. They loved it, and I don't think they would have noticed the lights in the afternoon! I had many, many people saying that Patrick was fantastic. Simply the best they've seen! Nonstop energy! I had some adult friends saying they're ready to plan a party just so they could invite him back! "
- Gail Brager, Temple Isaiah, December 8, 2007
"We just wanted to thank you for such a rocking party last night. Everyone just had an awesome time. Literally within a half our of our returning home ( @ 11:30) Marissa's friends were im'ing her about how much fun they had and what a great party it was.
There were about 8 16-18 year olds that initially were going to the Winter Formal at Paly and decided to ditch it to come to our party . Their review was it was way more fun than winter formal would have been.
Even the grandparents commented on how great you guys were and how well you kept the kids engaged and having fun. ( Ok.. they said it was a little loud too but... that's to be expected I guess!) Your crew was also terrific. Fun and friendly. Thanks again. You totally delivered."
- Dana Heirich, Congregation Beth Am, December 8, 2007
"Our event was amazing!! We are getting so many compliments, mostly for you guys - Patrick & his team were GREAT !!"
- Julie Westle, Harbor Point Racquet Club, November 17, 2007
"I just wanted to say how happy I was with Patrick and all the other people that performed on Saturday night. They were so terrific! Everyone had a great time. Patrick and the gang did a tremendous job."
- Susan Snyder, Corinthian Yacht Club, November 10, 2007
"Jacob's dad Jim here... I'm certain I speak for both Pamela and myself in saying that Patrick did a wonderful job keeping the party flowing, selecting the best music possible throughout the evening and astutely "reading" the crowd and adjusting his role as needed.... thanks also to Cameron and Amanda who also did a great job... Also, I want to especially thank Patrick for helping us prepare the candlelighting ceremony... this turned out to be probably the most special part of the celebration.. to tell you the truth, if Patrick hadn't brought up the candlelighting at our planning meeting I probably would not have thought of it (though Pam may have)........"
- Pamela Rennert, Westin SF, November 3, 2007
"I meant to email my utmost praise, and no criticism (rare for me) earlier, but I had family in town until today. Patrick was absolutely sensational! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Maybe even better than you!.. don't kill me.) He kept the crowd hopping all night, and pulled out all of the stops in the last hour or so. My guests never left the dance floor! Everyone remarked that they had such a blast. That is exactly what I wanted -- nonstop fun on the dance floor. In fact, I never even ate the hot dogs, salads, ice cream sundaes or popcorn, or visited the ladies' room, because I didn't want to miss even one song. It was the best sock hop ever.
Patrick brought his A game. He kept the sock hop well paced, and really knew the crowd. We enjoyed his selection of songs, and cadence. The bubblegum game, and volleyball, and limbo, and balloon game were pure childlike fun fun fun! I couldn't have imagined a better DJ. My guests did inquire as to where I found the DJ, so you know how popular Patrick was at the hop! Your dancers were also top-notch. They were complimented by my guests as well. They added the extra touch, and ambience. They kept everyone entertained all night. Even when the party was just getting started, and early guests were filtering in, taking photos, and greeting the bday girl, they were up there on stage dancing, and setting the mood. Each was terrific, and I'm glad we had AJ! Sasha also had a ton of energy!!!! So, what a hit. What a night!!!! Please pass this praise onto Patrick and the dancers. They really made my 50th bday a swonderful one! Bob has promised to put the photos online, which I will also pass on, since there is a terrific one of the group with me."
- Debra Bogards, Mill Valley Community Center, November 2, 2007
"I cannot express enough how happy we were with Patrick. He had everyone up and dancing! I had a really wide range of people there in terms of age, and there was something for everyone. Even my Mom - who is very conservative, very religious, and not inclined to be happy listening to "secular" music - was on the dance floor as much as her hostess duties allowed, and remarked at length how happy she was with the music and the flow of the evening. (Patrick also covered my rear end when a technical snafu resulted in my CD with our first dance not playing right - GREAT under pressure!) It was an absolute pleasure doing business with your company. thanks again!"
- Cheryl Forest, Fault Line Brewery, October 13, 2007
"Eva and her friends had a wonderful time. I cannot say enough good things about your entire staff. Particularly, Patrick was incredible...! We were so impressed with the professionalism as well as the enthusiasm shown by Patrick Ari, Cameron and Quinn. Our family and friends had an amazing time, and we will certainly recommend Denon and Doyle in the future. Thank you so much for helping make such an important day truly special!!!"
- Stewart Duboff, Temple Emanu-El, September 15, 2007
"Patrick and his team were the BESSSSSSSSSSSSSST! They were awesome. There were logistical concerns regarding the venue and the lack of space due to some last minute changes that the venue made with the set up, but it did not stop your group from being the best ever. Guests loved them, and everyone had a great time. My own kids want me to invite all four of your team to move up to Sacramento permanently. They want them to be at every event that they're invited too :) I can't express to you enough how much I appreciate you and your team's professionalism. I never have to worry about ONE THING with music, dancing, guests having a good time etc. when I have you on board with an event that I am planning."
- Pamela David, Vizcaya, September 8, 2007
"Patrick and the gang were great. Patrick was actually off the charts and I received rave comments on his performance. His professionalism, mixed in with his wonderful charm and love for performing was what got this group up and partying. He read his audience and was able to engage what could have been a "quiet" audience. He was the ultimate professional. I am so looking forward to working with him again and again!"
- Vickie Eiges, San Ramon Community Center, August 11, 2007
"Patrick was simply marvelous in every way. He even looked the party in his 1960's wig and attire. His sense of timing and his professionalism were the best I have ever seen. During and after the party my guests kept saying "Who is that DJ? He is fantastic"! I couldn't be more pleased. Patrick was able to get a sense of what the crowd needed and he effectively worked the program into a marvelous crescendo. The guests were literally leaping out of their seats with excitement. You can be sure that in the future when the need arises at one of our many planned events, we will ask for Patrick. It's great to know that we can rely on your company as one of our preferred vendors. Many many thanks for a job well done! And feel free to use any of my comments in any of your promotional literature or for other references. I'm more than happy to sing your praises!"
- Sherri Ferris, Sonoma Meritage, June 30, 2007
"Patrick was absolutely fantastic! He was very polite and open for any changes or requests that I asked for. Things got a bit off schedule and he handled them very calmly and very professional. I just hope my "crazy" family didn't drive him made. They sort of took over at the end with their performance - they created a CD with songs related to Elliott's Bar Mitzvah, the songs were hilarious. I hope Patrick didn't mind them sort of taking the stage. I was so busy I didn't get a chance to thank all of them. So thank you very much! We loved the bubble wrap and all the other things too. "
-Linda Buda, Concord Hilton, June 16, 2007
"What a great and successful evening. Thanks to all of your adorable staff my daughter was a true princess at her Bat Mitzvah!!!! I could not have pulled it off with out them."
- Lori Margulies, Frantoio Ristorante, June 2, 2007
"The wedding was absolutely wonderful. If we had to do it all over again, there's nothing we'd do differently. Seriously! And Patrick... what a gem! He is AWESOME. He has the perfect personality for what he does. Michael and I truly enjoyed having him do our wedding and are so glad we chose him. We for sure did that part of the planning right! He kept the party going. I don't think there was a time the dance floor was empty. He knew exactly what to do and when. He worked hard, did his job very well and I would recommend him over and over again. In fact, we have some friends getting married in September who were very impressed with Patrick - They loved him! Denon and Doyle has a fantastic DJ in Patrick. I wouldn't let him go! Patrick will be part of the wonderful memories we have of the biggest day of our lives! We will continue to pass on the good word about D&D and Patrick!"
- Brooke & Michael, Scott's Gardens, May 31, 2007
"ONLY compliments for Patrick, Tyrone, Beverley, April and Louis!! It was a fantastic party--- your team was amazing. Ellie and her friends never stopped dancing. The "big" kids (my high school & college-aged group) may have even had as much fun as the 13 year olds. My favorite quote, from a 21 year old guest, was 'Ellie's bat mitzvah was more fun than a college party' ---- don't think I can top that!"
- Beverly Davis, Montclair Womens Club, May 26, 2007
"Patrick was great, his timing, presentation and energy was terrific. April was also wonderful working with the kids getting the games going, etc. The music accompaniment for the "puzzle" ceremony was also right on target. Just what we had in mind..."
- Steve Lowinger,Claremont Resort & Spa, May 26, 2007
"Patrick was great. The photo bar was a huge hit and the guys running it were adorable. Thanks again for a fabulous evening of dancing."
- Lisa lmeitus, The "W" Hotel, May 19, 2007
"Please thank Patrick, Cameron, Pam and Christell for all their hard work. Patrick was always professional, kept everything running smoothly, and the kids had a great time."
- Jim Wieder, Lafayette Park Hotel, May 12, 2007
"Patrick and Cameron did a great job keeping the kids entertained which kept the party flowing very nicely. We are so glad they were there to MC and DJ our event. Best regards!"
- Jacquie Duckworth, Private Residence, May 5, 2007
"Please pass along our appreciation for a phenomenal job by Patrick, Cameron, April and Sasha! They truly made the party. Everyone has raved about how they created a fantastic festive atmosphere and made everyone feel included, kids and adults alike. Lauren is on cloud nine! She felt like a princess and is so overwhelmed with happiness that she has not even shown any interest in opening her gifts! She is basking in the joy of her celebration and so are we. (Just this morning my 6 year old made me swear that I would hire them again for his Bar Mitzvah!) Many thanks to Patrick and company. You made a special day even more magical!"
- The Goody Family, Claremont Country Club, May 5, 2007
"Patrick was great! He was really on top of keeping us where we should be! The music picks were great! We will definitely use you guys again if we hold an event. Thank you so much for everything! "
- Jessica Loomis, Round Hill Country Club, April 28, 2007
"Patrick and Solomon are the greatest. All of your people are fabulous. You proved that yourself at the Abeles Event. I've now had Patrick and Solomon at difficult events and they have both come out shining like a star. Also, I was very impressed with Solomon at the meeting we had with the Levy's. He was great. You've got 2 great guys here not to mention Addington and yourself. Your energy providers have risen to the top from what I've seen before. As I said, I used to bring in Hart to Hart all of the time. You are every bit as good if not better. I am so pleased with the way our relationship is going, and I'm so happy to be able to count on your guys 1000 percent. I also have to mention all of your new gadgets. Love what you're doing in that respect also. Thank-you for being so professional."
- Joannie Liss, Mill Valley Community Center, April 14, 2007
"It was spectacular. Please let everyone know there is nothing they could have done better."
- Liz Perle, Kelly's Mission Rock, March 24, 2007
"It was all great! Patrick and the entire team did a fabulous job. Please let them know."
- Carmen Diyommo, Signature Yachts, March 17, 2007
"Patrick, Alex & Morgan were absolutely fantastic. So many of my friends, and Emily's, commented on how fabulous the DJ was. Even the kids who have already had their bat/bat mitzvah's said Emily's party was the best. Your staff was professional, punctual, respectful and extremely easy to work with. Patrick dealt with several situations with complete ease and confidence. Our photographer wanted to stop and take a few photos just as the party was hopping. Patrick was able to recover the momentum easily. Not an easy feat. The people who work at Dublin Ranch even said they have never seen so many people on the dance floor, and for the entire evening! My 17 year old, Andrew, even asked Patrick if he could have a business card... he wants to come work for you! That has to be one of the highest and most solid votes of confidence and an enormous compliment to your company."
- Debby Alberts, Dublin Ranch Golf Club, February 10, 2007
"Patrick was great!!! there was no bathroom drama, no kids on cell phones, no freak dancing-- all the brandeis parents are happy and will be calling you for their events."
- Harriet Prensky, Westn SF Hotel, February 3, 2007
"Thank you so much for sending Patrick to my event! He was a blast to work with and did an excellent job! Attached are some photos, do you mind passing them on to him and let him know I said Hello? You can see by the photos how miserable he was (ha)! Look forward to working with your team again "
- Stephanie Queral, Palace Hotel, February 2, 2007
"Patrick did an excellent job. Your services were great and I am very glad that we were able to throw such a successful Associate Event as a JW Marriott. Patrick's music selection was excellent - considering that I gave him absolutely nothing to work with. Our associates requested music genres and specific songs as the night progressed. Patrick did a small raffle for us and really kept the audience's attention. Please tell him thank you for me. He really helped create the type of energy we needed to make this event successful!"
- Alex Marin, JW Marriott Hotel, January 28, 2007
"Patrick is fantastic!!! Absolutely LOVE him. Thank-you again for being so wonderful. I feel like I'm in such good hands with you. You've really got good people working for you."
- Joannie Liss, Great American Music Hall, January 20, 2007
"Thanks Dan - a great time was had by all. The best compliment came from my daughter Ricki. She had a great time and told me she definitely wants Patrick to be the DJ at her Bat Mitzvah (as Patrick knows, coming from her this is a BIG compliment). She said "Patrick got all the kids involved in games and dancing and he NEVER stopped - he was really cool and fun". So thanks to everyone - we appreciate it."
- Laurie Bienstock, Presidio Officer's Club, January 14, 2007
"We were THRILLED with the entire team! Patrick, Seth, Claire and Beverly were all terrific! We will definately recommend you to any of our friends in need of a DJ and would certainly use you again if we have a need in the future. Fortunately, Jordan is our only child, so at least it won't be for another Bar or Bat Mitzvah! Thanks for everything!"
- Le Eisman, Oakland Scottish Rite Center, January 13, 2007
"I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank You for a great job. You were wonderful pre-event with all the last minute requests and Patrick was fantastic yesterday very professional - I thoroughly enjoyed working with both of you. I had to leave right before the "entertainment" yesterday as I had thrown my back out earlier in the week and was really feeling it after setting up and being there for 5 hours. My event planner, Karen, was there though and she commented on how terrific Patrick was with the American Idol show.... that he did such a great job with introductions and was so smooth going from one act to the other. He'll be up there at the top of our request list from now on. Please thank him for me."
- Miraglia Catering, Milpitas Headquarters, December 14, 2006
"Oh my god, they were awesome. They didn't stop for one minute. The dance floor was packed the entire evening. Alex was incredibly happy, same with Bob and Merritt. Just the right amount of EVERYTHING. The kids didn't want to dance alone and the adults were real party animals. Patrick was terrific. He knew he didn't have to soften this crowd and he didn't. Kudos to him and to you. Always a pleasure."
- Barbara Kweller, Scott's Seafood, December 9, 2006
"Thank you for everything. What I appreciate the most about using Denon and Doyle is your professionalism and attention to good service. I was in a service business for quite some time and I always appreciate good service. Your attention to detail and your follow up has been wonderful. I have always said that good service is so easy to provide yet so hard to find. So, thank you! Patrick and Michael were very professional and catered the party to our son and our needs as well. I will definitely recommend you to our friends. Everyone had a great time."
- Kaylyn Hyman, Kenwood Depot, November 11, 2006
"The buzz is all over my space, that is what my son tells me, I do not go on it, but bet you could to read all about the best party of the year! Mark, Patrick and the entire team did an amazing job, everyone of them was professional and fun, smiles on their faces and just so glad that we hired you all to do our event. Would I hire you and your team again? YOU BET, and I will. Please send our sincerely and heartfelt thanks and we will send you a video when it is done to see, photos too if you would like. I promise to be your number one supporter so send your prospective clients my contact if they need to hear from a customer just how fantastic your crew is. I think I answered you question! Thank you again to the entire staff and the greatest dancers ever, they were all fantastic."
- Lisa Vogel, Peacock Gap Country Club, November 4, 2006
"We had a great time, the kids had a greater than great time. Justin was king for the day and Patrick ensured that. He was the best! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never seen Justin have so much fun. Everyone of his friends were having a great time. My favorite was watching them jump on the bubble wrap and Justin running out in the Green jacket. The fact that Patrick was able to find Cleveland Rocks was unbelievable. We had a great day and largely because of Patrick."
-Leslie Wise, Lafayette Park Hotel, October 21, 2006
"Speaking for myself, my wife Helga, and for Julien, I can say that we were thrilled with the party.-- Julien said that it was "fantastic" and "the best bar-mitzvah party" he has attended.-- Julien says that all of his friends feel the same way. -- Patrick was really dynamic. -- It was also nice that you managed to involve the young children as well as the teenagers. -- So thanks for a great event! -- We will definitely recommend you to our friends."
- Jonah Levy, Sequoyah Country Club, October 14, 2006

- Jennifer & Ryan, Sir Francis Drake, September 24, 2006
"Patrick was wonderful, fantastic and so very accommodating!"
- Marcia Barkoff, Private Residence, September 23, 2006
"The party was great and Patrick was amazing! As soon as we met, I knew things would go smoothly. The whole crew did a fantastic job but I especially appreciated Patrick's ability to keep the party going and to be aware of the mood of the kids. He also kept me in the loop for everything that was happening. I've passed a card onto the dean of our middle school. She was there too and saw how much the kids enjoyed themselves. Thanks again for everything. Patrick and his team were fantastic, talented, fun, and great to be around!"
- Raina Cohen, Temple Emanu-El, September 2, 2006
"Buzz doesn't begin to describe it. Even though our Bat Mitzvah was at the end of the cycle, and we thought people had seen it all, we're getting many compliments about how much more fun and how smoothly running our party was. I don't know exactly what I did differently than some of our friends, but I know that having your team made a huge difference. There were so many of them that they kept the kids engaged and always wanting to know what was next.
The photo bar was also novel and a constant source of entertainment. Patrick was very helpful from Day 1 when we met at your offices through to the end of the party Saturday night. He really made sure things ran smoothly. The dance team was fantastic! They acted just like big kids."
- Madayn Friedman, Hyatt Regency-SF, August 26, 2006
"I enjoyed every moment of my daughter's special day. Thanks for rolling with the punches with me and being flexible. The kids had a fabulous time as did we all."
- Mindy Murphy, Roundhill Country Club, August 26, 2006
"I would like to send my thanks to you and your company - it was truly the perfect wedding. I have received so many comments on how the music and mood was perfect through out the evening, and I owe it all to Patrick. He is an amazing guy - and without him, the wedding may have been different. He made sure we all knew what to expect and where to be - he was more than just a djay - he ran the whole wedding! I would recommend him and your company to anyone! I would love to get his email to thank him - I really appreciate all his hard work and energy! There wasn't one moment where the dance floor wasn't packed - we had to start dancing on the carpet around our tables!"
- Lauren & Chris, Arden Hills Country Club, July 15, 2006
"The party was great Saturday. Everyone had a wonderful time. There was so much energy in the room and I have many people tell me that Patrick was so nice to everyone. DJ's can really make or break a party and Patrick and the entire group did an amazing job. You are lucky to have them working for Denon and Doyle. I can't say enough about them. We all had a blast. I think they did to."
- Karyn Fishman, San Ramon Community Center, June 17, 2006
"Patrick and Co. were perfect for this group, kids and adults both. The kids and adults danced together! What I loved most, is that Patrick seemed to have fun himself, he danced a lot, he came into the adult area with his mike to get the adults out there - And he kept in touch with me, and 'read' me easily, he was direct but not rude about what he thought should happen next."
- Amy Franzblau, Lucie Stern Community Center, May 20, 2006
"The good buzz is still going on thanks to Patrick!! I can't say enough about how good Patrick was for this group and his professionalism with us. He followed the agenda we requested and took care of everything!!! It made our night a lot easier!! We of course will be talking up your company to all our friends. Thank again for the great job. We really appreciate it."
- Sharon Price, Blakes at Boundary Oaks, April 22, 2006

"I have been meaning to give you a call. I can't say enough positive things about Patrick! He did a great job, and Ashley and her friends just loved him. I have already been able to pass your name on to a friend who was asking for future reference. Thank you so much for your professional and wonderful service - we will look forward to the next time!!"
- Pamela Stefan, Wood Hall, April 1, 2006
"Patrick was awesome!! I know Mark prepped him with music, but he went above and beyond. He was totally interactive with the kids and they had a great time."
- Joan Danilson, Stone Valley Middle School, March 24, 2006
