Hiring Dow Oak Events is one of the best decisions you can make for you wedding (or any other event needs)! The DJ for my wedding was Erik and I could not be happier with how my wedding turned out! Every time I spoke to someone, they were telling me how awesome the DJ was and they weren’t lying! He made the planning aspect easy and was always quick to respond to questions. We spoke over the phone to confirm everything before the wedding and then the day of I didn’t have to worry about a thing! He kept people on the dance floor and I was really disappointed when he got on the mic and told people this was going to be the next to last song because I didn’t want the reception to end!

Erik and Dow Oak were a Godsend. At the actual wedding, Erik read the crowd wonderfully and got them up and dancing whenever we wanted or whenever things were getting slow. When it came to the pacing and scheduled music everything played exactly when it was supposed to with no issues. One thing we especially liked during the reception was how Erik blended the music together. It wasn’t just a swap from one song to another but a really nice blending of songs with one bleeding into another. I’ve seen a lot of DJs just act like a glorified shuffled playlist but Erik actually worked the songs and made them lead into each other. And to top it all off, he was incredibly affordable.
I would give Erik a 15 out of 10 if possible.

Absolutely recommend! The whole process was super easy, their team was thorough and kind, and Mason was amazing! Everyone was dancing the whole night and had a blast. Thank you!!

DJ Erick is the best! He saved the reception! We had lost our venue due to hurricane Florence and the reception ended up not being exactly what I as the bride had envisioned. With his positive energy and “we’re going to make this work” attitude he made the dance party part of the wedding the best I’ve ever seen!

Totally perfect! Erik came prepared, listened to our requests, was professional but laid back, and did an awesome job researching playlists that fit what we wanted. He mic’d our officiant and had an extra mic that came in handy when things got a little spotty passing the 1st one around. Amazing DJ, affordable, and the dance floor was hoppin ALL NIGHT.

Erik did an amazing job! Dow Oak Events is professional, talented, and affordable.

Booking a DJ turned out to be the hardest vendor! We were torn between going with a band or DJ & I was very hesitant to book a DJ. I had been to several weddings where the DJ was “off” on the music & it set a bad tone for the day. With 3 months left till the wedding, we still had not booked anything when I stumbled upon Dow Oak Events on wedding wire. I was impressed by their high reviews, the amazing prices that they offered (especially compared to every other DJ I had contacted) & the wide range of services. So I emailed Dow Oak & within 10 minutes I had a response from DJ Erik, who we ended up booking for our day! Erik was quick & responsive to all our emails & questions. We set up a meeting to go over music styles & overall aesthetic that we were aiming for.

Graham was such a great DJ! He was super nice and made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it! I would definitely recommend him!

I was SO insanely impressed with DJ Erik and the whole Dow Oak Events team. From the get go, their prices were reasonable and they were incredibly responsive (it took less than five minutes to hear back from them, I kid you not). Their website is easy to use and they were kind enough to send email follow-ups for playlist and payment deadlines. DJ Erik (or more apt DJ Erok) is very talented and kept almost my entire guest list on the dance floor for close to three hours. He is adept at reading the crowd and blending genres- many times my guests would scream with excitement at a song they hadn’t heard since middle school. I can’t say enough great things. I highly recommend Dow Oak Events and DJ Erik in particular! We received so many compliments on how great our DJ was!

Mason had every aspect covered from the day we signed, he honestly exceeded our expectations in every way. Our wedding had a few things pop up the day of that could have sent everything south, but, because of how prepared Mason was from the dow oak events online planning system, he was able to smooth everything over, and we have him to thank for having a PERFECT wedding!
