The Backup Promise

When Something Goes Wrong, We're The Part That Goes Right

“On the way to the venue our original DJ was hurt in a car accident. Erik stepped in last minute and made everything go as seamlessly as we could hope. Between the music being everything we picked, the up lights, and the overall vibe that was kept going the entire night, we couldn't be more appreciative.”

“Our planned DJ tested positive for Covid a few days before my sister's wedding but Erik was all over it and already had a backup in place with all the details that were originally discussed. Christian was communicative and kept people on the dance floor all night!”

“We hired a violinist to cover the ceremony, and five minutes before we were about to head out, we learned she never showed up. Just as the panic started to set in, Ryan shows up early! We told him our situation, he took down our songs, and 15 minutes later we had the perfect ceremony. Ryan literally saved our wedding day!”

“DJ Erik 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 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!”

How much is the retainer to reserve our date?

We require a $400 retainer to secure your DJ or photo booth for your wedding or event.

Can we request a specific DJ?

Yes! You're welcome to request a specific Dow Oak Events DJ. If they're unavailable, we'll match you with a DJ based on your style, venue, music preferences, and overall vibe. All of our DJs are trained the same way and follow the same planning process for a consistent, personalized experience.

Can we meet or talk with our DJ before the wedding?

Absolutely! You can customize every part of your wedding playlist using our online planning tools, or let your DJ read the room and create the perfect mix to keep your guests dancing.
