Scott and his DJ skills were such an amazing addition to our wedding. He kept things flowing, and the music was great. We gave very minimal guidance on what music we wanted and told him to use his judgment, and it was amazing! Not only did Scott do a great job at a very reasonable rate, he was also kind and easy to work with. We had to postpone our first wedding date due to Covid, and he was so helpful when it came to rescheduling. We actually found Scott through looking through wedding sites and reviews, so we just wanted to add ours to the mix! We highly recommend Scott for your upcoming events!
Wedding DJ
We really enjoyed working with Scott. We had interviewed a bunch of DJs, but Scott's calm, professional manner made him stand out - he is certainly a seasoned DJ. Scott made sure the process was seamless, and was very responsive to my emails. He had been at my venue before, and was able to make lighting recommendations. My husband and I listen to a wide range of music, so even with our odd playlist, Scott played all our favorites at perfect times - he definitely reads the crowd very well. He even shut down everyone who went up to him with a song request (as we had asked). Additionally, Scott's fee is very reasonable. We highly recommend Scott and SHO Productions!
Wedding DJ
Scott was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He really understood what we were going for in terms of music! He played our selections and the songs he added were perfect! Everyone had a great time dancing and we got so many compliments. Scott was also flexible with some last minute changes, friendly and also budget friendly. Can’t recommend him enough!
Wedding DJ
Scott was the best DJ we could have asked for! He was provided an extensive list of highly requested songs to us so that we could make sure our favorites were played and also allowed us to add any songs not included! From our first phone meeting to meeting him in person at the wedding he was incredible to work with. He worked with us on our timeline for the entire wedding, our music selection for each event and was a great emcee during the reception! We still get comments about how amazing he was from our guests (literally he played hit after hit). He read the room perfectly and kept the hits coming all night long. He was professional, worked wonderfully with our coordinator We would highly recommend him for any occasion!
Wedding DJ
We had the pleasure of Scott being our DJ last month for our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend his services, He is professional, easy-going, and kind. Prompt in his responses/communication and very easy to work with. Played all of the music that we requested and kept the perfect energy level at the wedding! Plus he is very affordable for the high quality of service that he provides.

Scott was more than we could have asked for. I was very particular about the music selection and Scott worked so well with us to make the day perfect. DJs can really be hit or miss but Scott made our wedding an absolute BLAST and all of our guests have complimented us on what a fun time it was. The majority of the wedding guests were on the dance floor the entire night and that’s credit to Scott and his awesome work. We couldn’t recommend him enough. He was beyond accommodating and really worked with us to give us the most fun wedding we could have imagined
Wedding DJ
Scott, from the bottom of our hearts Rob and I would like to thank you for DJ’ing our wedding. You’re a true professional and a wonderful person to work with. We had a pretty diverse crowd and Scott managed all night to play something for everyone - we were very picky when it came to music requests and he was always accommodating and made sure we were always happy. I can’t even begin to tell you the compliments I got all night regarding his services. 10/10 for him! We also had a live guitarist named Dave. He played our cocktail hour and he played our ceremony music he is so talented at what he does and the music was beautiful. Thank you both so much for making our day special, 10 out of 10 stars and we hope to recommend you to all of our friends getting married!

GigSalad & Scott from SHO Productions made selecting the perfect band for my mother's birthday party super easy! I told Scott what I was looking for and he delivered exactly what I was searching for. Gigsalad is easy to navigate and Scott was easily accessible, very receptive to my requests, and a pleasure to work with. Dave & Bob Band played at the party and met all of my expectations. They were right on time, very polite, easy to work with, and sounded GREAT! They offer an excellent variety of music and were even able to accommodate my special birthday request even though they had never played the song before! Everyone at the party had a great time listening and dancing to the music all night! I would definitely have Dave & Bob back for another party in the future!

Response from SHO Productions:
Thanks for the kind words Scott! We all found you to be excellent to work with and very accommodating.....which helped to make the entire experience very enjoyable and smooth-running. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. It's been a pleasure.....and we look forward to the next time for sure!!!
Scott, from SHO Productions, was our wedding DJ. He did an amazing job of working with us and capturing our taste in music. The mix he played was exactly what we were hoping for, and kept the dance floor packed until the end of the night. He even played an extra song at the end of the night so my wife and I could have one last moment together before the night came to a close (even though he knew the venue owner would be a little annoyed!) which we really appreciated. Everyone who came to our wedding had a great time and we would gladly recommend anyone to hire Scott as their wedding DJ
Wedding DJ
I attended my niece’s wedding in May and met Scott before dinner. We chatted for a while and I found him very friendly and knowledgeable. Later, the newlyweds had their first dance, and the dancing never stopped. Scott seemed to be able to get the younger crowd and older folks to easily mix. I got out dancing with my wife and had a blast. The younger folks must have danced for over two hours and I think they were still dancing when I left. The sound was perfect with zero feedback during the toasts and throbbing sound while dancing. While this was not my wedding, I got a good feeling when I spoke to him before the music started that he was receptive to ideas and would be easy to work with. I highly recommend SHO productions and Scott.

Scott did a great job making the wedding really special - he brought everyone out on the dance floor, was incredibly flexible, and remembered the small details throughout the evening.
Wedding DJ
Scott who books the DJs is amazingly responsive, attentive and professional. He helped us plan the event and get everything ready. Julius, our DJ, was great! He really knew how to get the group engaged, was friendly with everyone, open to suggestions and kept the flow of the evening going. We got tons of compliments on the entire event and especially on the DJ. They made our daughter's wedding really special.

Scott is AMAZING. From the moment we first started talking, I knew he would be a great fit for our wedding. He was helpful throughout the entire process, always a pleasure to speak with, and come to day of, he was on top of everything and one step ahead of us. The music selection was great, he was flexible in regards to music choices/last minute changes, and kept everyone dancing. We cannot thank Scott enough for being a huge part of our day!
Wedding DJ
Scott was so amazing! He was very responsive and helpful during the planning process. He went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure everything was perfect. Not only was he professional but so kind as well. Plus he had everyone dancing all night! We can't say enough good things about him and we highly recommend him.
Wedding DJ
We hired SHO Productions for our Mehndi/Wedding Welcome party in Glastonbury, CT. I was filled with so much trepidation planning this intercultural event (trying to juggle my husband’s family’s expectations of a traditional mehndi with what was within our budget and somewhat accessible to my non-desi family) – but Scott set my mind completely at ease! We were looking for a DJ who could host karaoke, incorporate Bollywood music, and work quite flexibly in a short span of time from dinner to performances to dance party. From the get go, Scott was up to this challenge and his calm, personable, and can-do manner made me feel much more confident that we could pull this off. And we totally did! Thanks to Scott’s advance planning, we had a great room setup, perfect lighting, and an awesome selection of music from beginning to end – and all for a very reasonable price!
And Julius was a phenomenal DJ and a really sweet guy. We had multiple guests doing MC duties at different points in the evening, and he handled this with total ease. Mehndis often feature performances from guests and our performance program not only came together sort of last minute, but included large group dances, karaoke performances, and even spoken word poetry. Julius managed all of this with total aplomb – it was totally seamless – and even beautifully sang a song himself! And when the floor opened up to everyone, he had EVERYBODY out of their seats and dancing! Our guests could not get enough!
Thank you so much to Scott and Julius for a really wonderful party! We cannot recommend you highly enough!!

I cannot recommend Scott and SHO Productions enough!! It's been a week since our wedding and our guests are still raving about the music and the uplighting. Scott was so courteous and communicative with us throughout the planning process and he didn't disappoint on the day of either! I cannot say enough about him! For perspective, my husband and I warned Scott that our friends and family weren't a group of big dancers. We told him that we thought that the floor would be empty most of the night and to please not use any silly games to drag people out. I don't even know why we warned him! People LOVED him! To our complete surprise, there was a time when all but 5 of our (multi-generational) guests were dancing! You can't go wrong with him!
Wedding DJ
My husband and I got married at the end of October and we keep telling each other how extremely happy we are that we found Scott at SHO Productions for our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Scott was great with emailed me back very quickly whenever I had questions. I liked that we talked on the phone closer to the wedding aswell to go over the flow for the day of the wedding one more time. He really calmed my wedding planning nerves! We’re still hearing about how great our DJ was from our guests. People were on the dance floor till the end, including me and my husband. During the wedding Scott would checked in with us to let us know when it was time for things like our entrance or bouquet toss. Him and our venue coordinator worked great together to make our day ran smoothly. It was like having another coordinator! And did I mention the price?!? Amazing! Lighting, music for the ceremony to the end of the wedding, MC service, and basically a wedding coordinator. One of the best decisions we made! Thank you Scott

I hired SHO Productions for my shower and my wedding.
The Shower (Location: Plainville, CT): We hired SHO because the first karaoke DJ we tried to book, was giving us a difficult time about the song book. We contacted Scott a few weeks before the shower. He had someone available for that day, and was so accommodating with all our questions and concerns about the song book. Julius was the karaoke DJ at the shower, and he was the best we've ever seen. He's sweet and pleasant, and he really knows how keep everything moving along nicely.
The Wedding (Location: NYC): Our original plan was to not have a DJ, and just have a playlist. As the wedding got closer, I started to feel like it was becoming too much. I'd had such a good experience with SHO for the shower, I decided to see if they would be able to do my wedding. Thankfully, it was the only Saturday they were available. Over the 2 months from the time I booked them to the actual wedding, Scott handled my LONG emails with class. I'm terrible at explaining what I want, and think more about the style and feel than the actual songs. Scott is REALLY good at understanding the vibe you're going for. I had him handle all my ceremony music, which he did perfectly. The cocktail hour was a great combination of classic songs and the hipster music my husband loves. The reception music was PERFECT!! Scott really understood the feeling I wanted, and made sure the guests had fun. He was definitely paying attention to which guests were the dancer, and played music that kept them on the floor the whole night.
SHO Productions is the only DJ you should hire. I could not be happier with how my music went. At the brunch the next day, the first thing everyone mentioned about my wedding was how good my music was.

Response from SHO Productions:
Thanks so much for the kind words Karen. I have to say that Karen and Chris (and Karen's mom Leslie) were so awesome to work with! Karen and Leslie were so great to communicate with throughout the months leading up to the big day, and that really makes my job that much easier. Also, the venue they selected in NYC was fantastic, and the staff there was super to work with. It was totally my pleasure to be a part of such a fun and enjoyable wedding...!!
SHO Productions is your one stop go to for all of your events. I met with Scott who was patient and took the time to listen to what I had to say, show me all my options and work within my budget.
I chose a band called Radio Waves and am so thankful I did! These musicians have set the bar for all others. They are professional, courteous, reasonably priced and their musical abilities are beyond amazing! From a casual get together to a black tie gala, Radio Waves will NOT disappoint!

Response from SHO Productions:
Thanks so much for the kind words Sandra. The feeling is definitely mutual. You were fantastic to work with, and we had a great time performing for you. What a successful and enjoyable event...!!!
Used their services for a Halloween Party hosted in our home- all I can say is they were excellent. Our guests had a wonderful time and danced the night away. Pat played non-stop and was very professional and courteous! Can't wait to use them again for our next party!! Thanks again for a great party!!

It was a great pleasure working with Scott! He was a great DJ at our wedding on Oct 15th and all our guests had a blast! The dance floor was full and hopping all night! Our venue is even considering him on their preferred list!

Scott was absolutely wonderful! From driving out to a local Starbucks and meeting to discuss our vision, to responding to any e-mails quickly, he made planning easy. As classical musicians, my husband and I were very picky about the music that we wanted, and Scott catered to all our non-standard musical requests. He showed up over an hour early to set up and was energetic, upbeat, and highly professional. Our caterer, who does weddings every weekend, even commented that he was one of the best DJ's that they had ever worked with. I would highly recommend his services for any event!
Wedding DJ
Scott did a great job at our wedding. He was great to work with both during planning beforehand and during the wedding. He responded to every musical request we had, and knew exactly how to connect our favorite songs with the various segments of our reception. I would totally recommend him and SHO Productions for your wedding or other private event! Our guests gave us fantastic reviews as well!!
Cover Band, Wedding DJ
We have had Scott and his band mates play for us on two occasions. The dynomyte disco revue played for my husbands 65th birthday and Radio Waves played at my daughters wedding. There is nothing that compares to their professionalism and talents! Scott is very personable and goes out of his way to play special songs or requests. Everyone loves this band and everyone had a great time at both occasions! Forgive me you record spinners, but there is nothing like a live band at a party and Scott and his artists are the best!
Dance Band
SHO Productions made planning the music for our wedding easy! They were reasonably priced and professional. Scott handled everything from ceremony music to MC during our reception. He "spun" all our favorites and got the crowd dancing! He checked in with us during the wedding to see how we thought things were going and was very attentive. He's easy to work with and very personable! We highly recommend SHO Productions for your wedding!

Scott was excellent. He was very professional and all our guest had a great time.
Wedding DJ
My husband and I were looking for a great band for our wedding and we found it with Radio Waves! Scott was super easy to work with during the whole planning process and was SO flexible. We had the advantage of hearing them play a show at a bar on Halloween before hiring them so we knew we were getting the real deal before they even played our reception. They were true professionals and rocked our guests' socks off! I would highly recommend them not only because they were great but because they were so easy to work with. When you want every detail on your wedding day to be perfect, it gave me peace of mind to know the band was something we didn't have to worry about. Thank you for making our reception so fun, The Rosemans
