We love her! Our wedding was so much fun and everyone keeps telling us the D.J. was amazing and we agree. She was a quick responder and was always easy to reach. She played a variety of genres and took requests so everyone felt included. I have honestly never seen a wedding where almost everyone was on the dance floor the whole night. Our main priority was having a really good dj and we achieved that by far thanks to her. We are so thankful for her contribution to our big day and if you’re thinking of booking, do it you will not regret it!

I think that Matt was the highlight of our wedding! I can not count how many compliments I got on the violinist! We are both busy doctors so had very little time to consult with Matt. We gave him a couple of songs and he sent us so many options, in the end we gave him control of the music haha and he knocked it out of the park!! I would recommend him for any event! He did everything from classical to Bruno Mars on Violin! Such a professional.

After a long career DJing clubs, radio, and more I can honestly say nothing is more rewarding than weddings. Just knowing that my music bonds families and helps them enjoy themselves on their most important day is a feeling that can't be replicated at any other gig. When I began getting requested for weddings, I saw a void for club DJs in the industry, so I picked the best and started Shut Down Productions. In addition to our DJ & MC services, we have grown to be a one stop shop by also offering photo booths, lighting, special effects and more to make your celebration even better.

Hands down Best decision hiring this DJ for our daughter’s special day! From the interviewing to the planning, Burton was so friendly and extremely professional and made things simple for us to plan the event. From the ceremony to the special dedication dances, the evening was filled with love, fun and great music . The uplights and Photo Booth were icing on the cake! Thank you for making our special day so amazing! You were awesome and we appreciate all you did!
