Versatile. Multi-Talented. Utility Player. Diverse. Simply put, the guy can do anything. Whether he is behind the mic, the board, or a camera, Justin’s interests and hobbies range as far and wide as the music he plays.
As an only-child growing up in Littleton, Colorado, staying at home was simply not an option. With so much to do outdoors, Justin refused to be bored and used his lack of siblings to his advantage. It’s why he is a people person and loves meeting folks from all walks of life. It’s why people love him.
Justin will tell you that it’s also why he is never unhappy.
The irony of using a double negative to describe his most positive trait is something Justin’s poetic side can appreciate. Yes, he is a poet.
When not holding a pen and pad, Justin may have his hands tangled up in yarn. He confesses that finger-weaving and knitting are very relaxing (and he has a scarf or two to prove it). Think the grandparents won’t love him?
This is the same guy who, in high school, was on both the hockey team and the choir (or as Justin calls it, “an untapped resource for cute girls”). When asked what he hits better, High C as a Baritone or people on ice skates, he responded with this: “I never hit anyone, I just stopped them from hitting me.” He luckily escaped Colorado with all of his teeth in place and has since built up quite a following here in the Bay Area.
People love that he brings a cool factor to a party but still knows how to involve guests of all ages. His versatility is evident in that even the Kids-Party circuit sings his praises. They, however, like to call him “DJ Justin Bieber,” for no reason other than he shares the same first name and doesn’t have the heart to correct overjoyed 13-year-olds, especially when his actual last name is much more difficult to pronounce (and can net you a whopping 174 points on a Scrabble or “Words With Friends” board when strategically placed). Once the party gets going, there’s no denying the talents of this versatile MC/DJ. “If I can get all age groups on the dance floor at the same time, and have Grandma fist-pumping by the end of the party,” Justin explains, “then I did my job.”
“OMG..I have been meaning to write you Dan! We had THE BEST NIGHT!! Everyone was 100% amazing! There is nothing that I wouldn’t have changed, I really loved every single second and didn’t want the night to end..the music and your energy made the whole night…I am still reeling from it! Thank you, thank you! We will give you a great review and if you ever need a glowing recommendation, we are your girls!! Please don’t hesitate to ask and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making such an important and memorable milestone is our lives perfect!!!”
-Daren Tuchman, Sharon Heights Country Club, June 4
“Justin and Chad were fantastic! Lucy and her friends had a blast, and I really can’t make any suggestions for improvements. The guys struck the right chord all night as far as I can tell. I’m not much of a social media participant, but I will highly recommend Denon and Doyle to my friends.”
-Wendy Stovell, Firehouse 8, May 21
“A good time had by all. Kudos to Justin for getting the kids involved in games. As always, your team are very upbeat and committed to a successful party and we appreciate that.Overall, we were very happy. Lucas had a great time. Thanks for all.”
-Abby Platter, Harbor Point Racquet Club, May 14
“Guys, I have no words! The event went flawless and I got so many emails from parents saying their kids had so much fun. Most importantly, Sasha felt soooo special. Justin – you did such an amazing job. The adults who were at the party were so impressed with how you ran the show and T was awesome – I think I got a list of folks wanting to buy his shoes 😉
The whole day was just perfect and you were one of the biggest reasons why. Thank you!”
-Victoria Steiner, Forest Hill Clubhouse, May 7
“Everything went really well and the kids loved Justin and his team! Everyone was very helpful and the party was a big hit!”
-Leslie Caine, Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel, Feb 27
“Wow, we had an amazing weekend. And Saturday night was one of the best nights ever!
Justin and David were awesome. They were precisely what we were hoping for. They had the kids and adults on the dance floor from the beginning to the very, very end. My only regret was that it had to come to an end. Friends were asking if they could pay them to keep it going longer. 🙂
Thank you for finding us the right guys for the job. We want them both back for my daughter Lauren’s bat mitzvah.”
-Nancy Mann, Marin Country Club, Oct 10
“Thanks so much for handling the entertainment at Grace’s bat mitzvah. I did want to write to say that the party was FANTASTIC, in large part due to Justin and David. They did a great, great job and I got many emails from parents the next day that their kids were complaining that their legs hurt from dancing so much.”
-Paulette Kamenecka, Lucie Stern Community Center, May 16
“Your group was great! The MCs kept engaging the kids – they never stopped dancing and singing. I thought the night went flawlessly. Thank you so much!! I will post a review. Justin was great checking in with me through the night, which was wonderful.”
-Celeste Friedman, The Argonaut Hotel, Oct 18
“The kids went wild, the adults danced and everyone had a terrific time. Justin did a great job as MC, coordinating the party with the UC staff and photographer, and rounding up the kids for more fun when they strayed. Kahler and Alex made sure the energy was high and the party grooved (pardon my old fashion language). The even got my son David out on the dance floor. Usually, I need to drag my husband out to dance, but Friday night he found me to dance!
We couldn’t ask for a better party. Thank You.”
-Lisa Nissim, University Club of Palo Alto, May 24
“Your team was fabulous. They had to deal with some rambunctious kids and they were able to keep them in line and engaged the whole time. They were also very patient with me when I was stressing out! The bubble rap and toilet paper was a huge hit! Thank you for making it an unforgettable night for our family.”
-Jennifer & Jim Knopf, Crowne Plaza – Foster City, May 10
“We just wanted to send a quick thank you for the wonderful job you guys did for Matthew’s bar mitzvah. The kids had a great time and we can’t tell you how many adults also complimented us on the great music (and also that they were able to hear themselves during the ceremony). Thanks again for taking so much time to talk with us and find out what we and Matthew wanted. It really showed on the day of the event.”
-Suzy Drell, Maritime Museum, May 3
“Justin, our DJ was fantastic! Everyone really liked the music mix for both nights and we were able to add the karaoke because we had to move indoors due to rain, so it was a lot of fun with that added on Friday night.”
-Vikki Kruger, VPD Inc., Seascape Resort, April 25
“Dear Justin, Shana, Gina, Dan and Scott, You all came through and made Joey’s Bar Mitzvah very beautiful, very special and very memorable! Hats off to each one of you individually and to all of you collectively. You rock! Thank you for a terrific party!”
-Cheryl Lebow-Golde, Contra Costa Country Club, February 15
“I am finally coming up for air after the big event. I just wanted to let you know how fantastic the party was. Ivy was absolutely thrilled! The kids are still talking about it. Justin did a fabulous job of engaging everybody and the music was perfect. They bounced all night. Thank you so much for helping to make Ivy’s big day so amazing!!”
-Robin Smith, Piedmont Hall Community Center, February 1
“Justin did an amazing job and really kept the energy going. Can’t say enough good things about the event. Thank you!!”
-Melissa Long, Lucky Strike, Lucky Strike HQ, January 11
“All feedback is that it was a great time and lots of compliments for Justin the DJ. People really liked the interactive way he ran the raffle prizes!”
-Liz Digan, Marin Community Clinic, Embassy Suites – San Rafael, December 7
“We had the best time. Everyone was dancing. At one time, I thought me and my friends since High School days were dancing more than Julia’s friends. It really was a blast and everyone said what a great time they had and I know a lot of it was because of the music. You listened to me and played almost the full songs; they played all the songs Julia and I requested, and it was just fun. Also, the way you did the video was great as well. I liked the montage. And Justin was just fantastic. I’m glad I got to meet him the weekend before, as we felt like old friends (at least to me) when I saw him at our event, so it felt warm and friendly. Thanks so much for your patience with me. I really loved the service and will be more than happy to post on whatever site you desire.”
“Well, I don’t have enough adjectives to describe how AMAZING Justin, Jake and Nareg were last night! They were personable, thoughtful and very skilled at keeping the kids active and dancing. The games were wonderful and they knew exactly what to do to keep them engaged. Many, many guests checked in with me today to tell me specifically how wonderful Justin and Jake were.
Thanks again for all your patience and more importantly, for providing a service that was truly provided the heart and sole of our party!”
-Laurie Isenberg, San Francisco Film Centre, September 21
“Thank you so much to you and the team for doing a superb job at the party. Justin was fantastic, kept things rolling at the right pace, everything went without a glitch. The game show was a smashing hit, Justin decided to do 2 rounds of it. Kids were all engaged and had lots of fun throughout. Adults got going quite a bit with the dancing as well – great choice of music. We formed the circle/lane of dancers, and people kept coming into the middle to show their moves – adults and kids alike. All the guests expressed their utmost joy with the party, I think you will be hearing from some of them in the future.”
-Julia Varshavsky, Lake Merced Golf & Country Club, June 29
“Thank you for all you and your team did to make last Saturday a success. The Hornblower Commodore venue was especially challenging, as the lower deck has about a 4-inch clearance. Also there were a number of younger kids there, who were back and forth to the outside deck. All the kids – even my picky 15-year-old – had a great time. Please thank Justin and Louis for their excellent work. They were extremely accommodating and really made the evening fun.”
-Marilyn Levinson, Hornblower Dining Yachts, June 29
“They were *great*. Energy was just right for the event, eveyone was out dancing. No improvements to suggest, but please tell them they are fantastic!”
-Max Schireson, Palo Alto Elks Lodge, June 8
“I just wanted to say how absolutely awesome Justin and his team were on Saturday! The kids had a great time, Justin was quick to make changes as necessary and a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much!”
-Shannon Cogen, Presidio Golf Course, May 25
“Justin was out of this world. He listened, he entertained, he cared and he shined. He kept the kids on their feet from start to finish.”
-Sasha Sklyar, Poplar Creek Grill, May 18
“Thank you for following-up regarding our Upper School dance on Friday. Justin did a fabulous job! We had a great turnout for the dance, Justin played only radio edits as we had requested, and his interaction with the crowd was great. Our girls has requested that five specific songs be played for a dance contest, and Justin came prepared with the song list and got the contest started on time.”
-Kimbely Knapp (Castilleja School), Castilleja School, April 5
“Justin is awesome. We look forward to our next Denon and Doyle event and hope that Justin is available for it! Thanks so much”
-Anne Cameron (Castelleja School), Castilleja School, March 8
“We had a good party. Justin was great, very helpful and flexible in terms of setting up and he kept the mood just perfect through the party. Many thanks to him!”
-Kate Shumate, UCSF Mission Bay, December 17
“The party was great. I just wanted to thank your company and Justin was great with the kids. I would definitely use your company again and would ask for Justin he was very professional and the kids loved him. I still get asked by the kids when is the next party and can you get the same dj. Again thank you for helping us make our daughters party a success.”
-Maria Del Cupolo, San Francisco Humanities, December 15
“Everything went really well! Everyone was on the dance floor thanks to Justin & Anthony – they were great at encouraging everyone to dance and take picts. It’s Wednesday and everyone is still talking about how much fun they had. Thank you & Happy Holidays!”
-Sharlene Tingin, The “W” Hotel, December 14
“So I’m sure Justin let you know that the party was poorly attended and the teens weren’t into dancing, but Justin did a wonderful job, regardless of the situation. He went with the flow and followed the mood very well. He played a great selection and had a super attitude. He was a pleasure to work with – very professional and also fun to be around. I will absolutely recommend Justin and Denon & Doyle!”
-Lauren Kendell, Pinole Sportsman Club, November 24
“Justin was fabulous, and all of the buzz about the dance has been positive. He does a great job of varying the music so that the kids will dance, will NOT dance in ways they should not, and have fun.
Thanks again. We look forward to our next event with Denon and Doyle”
-Anne Cameron, Castilleja School, November 2
“What a great team you sent us last weekend for Sophie’s Bat Mitzvah! Justin was so, so, so fun and Sophie adored him! He and his team did a fantastic job. The energy was always up, the kids totally engaged, and there was lots of fun to be had. The kids can’t stop talking about what a great party it was, and I have given out your name to numerous folks already.
You all are by far the best in the Bay Area no question!
Thank you so much for all that you do behind the scenes to make it so fun and easy for your clients.”
-Lori Bonn Gallagher, Scott’s Seafood, August 25
“Justin was GREAT! Thanks. One of my guests asked for his business card :-)”
-Elizabeth Grimes, Claremont Resort & Spa, June 23
“The dance went really well and everyone had a great time. Always a pleasure working with your company. I have copied next year’s event chairs, Pam and Yosh, on this e-mail so that they will have your contact information and our extras package listed for next year’s booking.
Justin was great and we were happy with him. We did ask that he be a bit more interactive and work the crowd a bit more and he responded immediately. We loved Alec’s (or is it Alex…sorry) high energy (I think he was our deejay in 2011) and were trying to go for the same energy level this year.
-Mimi Bommarito, Orinda Intermediate School, June 7
“The event was great, and Ben, Justin, Kaitlyn, Sarah, and Aaron all did an amazing job. Ben was perfect as the MC and really kept everything moving. Everyone worked well as a team, including Sarah who I noticed pitched in with everyone else.”
-Jodi Cruse, Poplar Creek Grill, May 5
“I’m writing to tell you that we had a fabulous experience last night with Cam as emcee and Justin as DJ at Mariel’s bat mitzvah party. They brought such wonderful energy and professionalism, and really made the party so great! Mariel *loved** working with them and her friends thought they were awesome. Whenever a kid requested a song, Justin had it rolling as the very next song! And Cam has such a great presence and had everyone rocking and feeling special, from our 6-year-old nieces (he gave them the microphone) to my 80-year-old father! I have already heard from several friends about what an awesome DJ/emcee team they were, and so have been singing the praises of Dennon & Doyle!
It’s also been a pleasure working with you as the coordinator, and I’ve appreciated how quickly you’ve responded to questions, and your willingness to work with setting up 2 different sound systems. It’s also a really nice touch that Cam came into the city to meet my daughter before the party, as that put her at ease before her big day.
Thanks again for everything, and I will happily recommend you all to my friends in the future.”
-Paula Binbaum, Jewish Community Center of SF, April 28
“Cameron, Justin and Rick were all fabulous. The girls had a blast. Lexie thanked us profusely for the party. Thank you so much. She has pictures all over FB. I will recommend your services over and over to all my friends. You just know how to keep the kids entertained. Please thank the team again for me. I really appreciate it and would not change a thing. They were the best.”
-Michele Kirsch, Los Altos Golf & Country Club, April 21
“He was awesome – great music, he did a wonderful job stopping the music early to get the kids to clean up. Really appreciate your business. Will be in touch again next year to book the dances.”
-Kiki Martin, Menlo Middle School, April 20
“It was a great night and Justin was fabulous!!! Many people commented on his great music selection and god spirit!”
-Heidi Celentano, Mt. Diablo Elementary, February 24
“Justin & Cameron rocked the SunPower party! They were so much fun to work with. They were efficient with the set up, and flexible with timing and working around the band during the party. Cameron and Justin were so passionate about the music and had so much fun doing what they do, they were actually part of the party! Cameron was getting people out on the dance floor, because HE was dancing and getting people totally into it! Justin sang every word to every song! So fun to see a vendor who loves what they do. Music was awesome. The dance cubes were a hit. Laser lights and light table super high-tech cool. Everyone had a great time. The client and our team were very happy!
We really couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Thanks so much for everything. We will absolutely hire you again for the next event!”
-Melanie Mercier, Tech Museum, January 21
“Dan we can’t say enough about Cam and Justin! They were awesome and the kids never stopped dancing! And the girls never stopped swooning! Perfect for this party and I want to book him for my son’s bar mitzvah! Maddie is going to write a letter for him when she feels better – she has been sick since the day after – too much fun!”
-Lisa Wolfe, Piedmont Hall Community Center, December 15
“Justin was great – thank you for your follow up. We had a crazy turnout in Oakland – 121 non registered people for a total of 277, so the place was packed! It was such a relief to know your team was all over making the reception great.”
-Stacey Coffey, Marriott Oakland, September 29
“Another job well done, I can’t say I’m surprised, you and your team always shine. Justin & Jeff had a great attitude, were really nice and just did a terrific job all around. We have your team here quite a bit and I have to say everyone thus far you have sent here is GREAT. Whatever you are doing is working, amazing attitude and just so easy to work with. Can’t say enough good things… I’ll stop thanking you and just send as much business your way as I can instead.”
-Richard Peterson, Menlo Circus Club, October 30
“Justin was so much fun to work with. From his easy going “can do” personality to spinning on the amazing light table, he had our guests on the dance floor through out the entire night. Thank you Justin for making our client’s event a huge success!”
-Morgan Doan, Carmel Valley Ranch, October 22
“Cam and Justin rocked the house. We got many compliments on the MC and DJ. Thanks for all the support.”
-Kristen Moss, University Club of Palo Alto, August 13
“Everything went great. Justin was wonderful and had a good feel for the party. After dinner he played current music and most of my guests were up and dancing. That was the party I really wanted. I will definitely recommend you to anyone and maybe you’ll be around for my 50!!”
-Karen Cabrera, Claremont Country Club, August 6
“I just wanted you to know what a FABULOUS job Cameron & Justin did last night. My friends and family said it was the best Bar MItzvah they had attended and it was definitely Cam’s high energy and great spirit that made it work, thanks again.”
-Seafood Peddler, Elaine Zimmerman, July 16
“Justin did a great job, in spite of the scorching heat. I know he must have been as woozy as I was by the end of the event (I swear – 8 hours in 95 degree weather in overalls is not a good idea). Thanks again, for providing quality music for my events!”
-Sophie Maletsky, Los Gatos Residence, June 14
“The DJ was great, really professional and the music was perfect (even for us old folks ). We will definitely keep you in the file for next year’s graduates and will give your name out whenever the occasion arises.”
-Amy Knaus, private Residence, June 10
“The party was a success! (Actually glad it is over! My responsibilities have been relinquished) I heard back from the kids that Justin actually took the kids requests and played them. That made them happy! I wish we could have tipped Justin more than the $20 the principal gave him. He deserved it but as you know with schools (especially public) money is very tight. Let Justin know that he was great!”
-Jayne Sungail, Roy Cloud School, June 9
“I was just about to write you all and let you know what a fabulous job everyone did at the event on Saturday. My client was thrilled and I could not have been happier. The degree of professionalism from your staff is amazing and so appreciated. Everyone was on their A game and really worked together to make it a memorable experience for Lena and her family. Sarah did such an amazing job with the body bling… event mom got one!Justin and Cam were so great with the kids and kept them engaged and happy throughout the night. They also were so great at helping coral the kids on the dance floor so that we could walk through safely with the food. They also are really good at reading the crowd.
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to have all of the components come from the same vendor. It makes my life so much easier to know that it is all being taken care of. I NEVER have to worry about you guys showing up late or sending staff that is… let’s just say less desirable as has happened with so many other vendors.
Kudos to the entire team. I always do and will continue to recommend you highly to everyone and anyone that will listen!”
-Una Traynor, Taste Catering, San Francisco Film Centre, March 19
“Justin was absolutely amazing. My guests kept talking about how nice he is and even took photos with him. We appreciate all the attention to detail from beginning to end. Especially for Justine’s patience with us when designing our lay out. Then end result was fabulous. We will definitely recommend your services to future couples getting married.
