Great parties aren't an accident
Dow Oak Events started in 2017 with a simple belief: great parties don't happen by accident. They're the result of experience, passion, and a team committed to doing things right. You'll share your preferences, music tastes, and vision ahead of time so nothing is left to chance, and when the big day arrives, your DJ feels like a natural part of your team, not just a vendor.
Erik Massengale, Founder
Behind the decks since 2008, with 1,000+ weddings and a decade as a nightclub resident DJ. Erik built Dow Oak into a systems-driven company so every client gets the same polished, reliable experience, backed by salaried backup DJs on call so your event never skips a beat.
