The Recap

Every celebration has its own rhythm. Here's a look inside a recent Dow Oak event: the music, the moments, and the people who made the night.

“Erik did an amazing job at our wedding! We hired him sort of last minute as our other DJ fell through, but I was SO GLAD that we found him! He worked with me tirelessly before the wedding to make sure he knew what songs we wanted to be played. I was even texting him last-minute corrections on the day of the wedding, and he responded quickly and calmly, two VERY important things for a bride! He did a great job “reading the crowd,” and kept us all dancing long into the night. Several of my friends remarked that the dance floor stayed crowded all night, and even went as far as to say that it was the best dance party at a wedding that they’d been to. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with Erik’s services and would not hesitate to hire him again!” – The Knot

Reading the Room

celebrating newlywedsWowza. Now that is a review. It definitely hits on all the things we pride ourselves on. Quick response, reading the room and keeping the dance floor packed. Sometimes even when things don’t seem to get off to a stellar start, they end up being some of the best!

That was definitely the case here. One of the first weddings we have evidence of doing was a last-minute fill-in. A buddy of ours was friends with the bride and had referred us. We were even texting with her on the way to figure out some last-minute music requests. We were scrambling. But we were able to grab a phone hot spot during the drive to download a few songs just in time.

Throwbacks and Pop Hits Galore

bride in a chair danceThis sounds like it would be a recipe for disaster. But honestly, it was one of the biggest dance parties we’ve ever seen.

The guests definitely didn’t expect such a crazy mix of dance music oldies and modern jams coming from a 24-year-old. At the time, we didn’t have all of the awesome gear we have now, either. But luckily, our skill in mixing speaks for itself.

Final Thoughts

It’s crazy how so many things end up going so differently than you expect. And that was the case here, but in the best possible way. We ended up having such an awesome time, and we know all the guests did too. A great wedding all around!

And as a final note, we just need to say… We absolutely love what we do. And meeting new people and being a part of the personal touches they add to their wedding celebrations is why we do it. We loved being invited to be a part of this celebration. It’s always awesome to see how couples choose to celebrate.

We’ve learned that being a wedding DJ in Durham isn’t just about playing music. So we take our role seriously. Facilitating such a big day is a serious job! That’s why we always give every wedding or event our all.

I am a wedding coordinator with the team at R's Events and I have worked with Dow Oak Events. We shared a wedding at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, NC. They checked in rather than waiting to be found. They paced the reception properly. Their team was courteous with my staff and the venue's. I would recommend them to any couple!

DJ Tyler was great for our recent wedding! He went above and beyond by checking every detail with us leading up to the wedding. He kept the party going through our whole reception. Highly recommend!

Dj Angel is AMAZING! From the minute we started talking to him, we realized that he was going to be the perfect fit for our wedding. We told him who we were two outgoing fun millennials from New York who really love to party and Man did he deliver! He even mentioned during the phone call that we were completely his vibe. Every song on the must playlist was played, there was not one time during the four hours that I stepped off the dance floor for even a second. He kept the hits coming all night long. When I asked for the microphone to do Ludacris’s part during the song, baby, he did not hesitate. And when he played cut the mozzarella and saw the panic in my eyes as I was looking for my groom, he got on the microphone personally, got his attention, calling him to the dance floor and then restarted the song. His attention to every detail was on point, and when I got to the venue, he was the first vendor that I walked over to and said hi, 10/10 absolutely amazing
