DC Events and Design

Dominic has been fantastic! From the first time we met him to our big day. He was very helpful and informative. We found our venue because of him. We are forever thanful for that! He kept the flow of our wedding consistent. I gave gim the opportunity to play what he wanted, we we’re not disappointed. Without him our wedding would have been a disaster. We were 100% satisfied with him. I would recommend him to anyone who is having an event!

We cannot thank DC Events & Designs enough for making our October wedding the best day of our lives! Dominic was amazing to work with and really made the stresses of planning a wedding so much easier! We used DC Events & Designs for Music (Jordan was our awesome DJ!), Videography (the «David’s» were terrific!) and Photography (Chris was hands down the best ever and Dominic even blessed us with his presence!).
We have received nothing but compliments from our guests on how professional and friendly all of them were. It honestly felt as if they were part of our party! They knew exactly how to capture the moments perfectly and did whatever they could to make sure we were satisfied as customers. The photos are absolutely stunning and we were able to get a few with our Pup which was very important to us. The videos we received are great quality and we cannot stop watching them! I am extremely amazed by their work and cannot thank them enough!

Wow THEY ARE AMAZING! Our wedding was in 10.24.15 @ Rancho Cañada through Wedgewood and they didn’t phenomenal job.
I love his photographers, videographer, Dj Brian, and Party Bus.
They are all very very professional, friendly and talented. The pictures came out beautiful as well as the video. DJ Brian was super helpful and awesome with the music and lights.
I will 100% recommended them to anyone!!!
Dominic thank you and your team for making our special day stress free, special and beautiful!

David was the Videographer for my wedding and I wish I could leave 6 stars for him! He went above and beyond what I had imagined! When my husband and I received our «highlights video» I think I watched it 50 times in a row. with my jaw dropped! In all honesty, having a videographer for our wedding was not in our original budget and then my mother told me «Jamie, you won’t have your flowers, or your food, or the decorations; the only thing you’ll really have is your husband and your photos/​video» and I am so glad she said that because we moved some things around in our budget and I am SO happy that we did! And with DC Events, you get way more than you pay for.

My husband and I got married through Wedgewood in Carmel on 10/​17/​2015. Initially we weren’t going to have any videography, but it was gifted to us by my brother and I’m so so so so glad we ended up having it. Our videographers David and Kat were so much fun to work with. We just got our wedding highlights video (posted on their Vimeo page for easy sharing!) and it is everything we imagined and more. They captured our wedding day beautifully and we can’t wait to get our DVD with the entire ceremony, speeches, special dances, etc. Dominic (the company owner) was always easy to get a hold of and replied quickly to emails. I would recommend this company to any couple in the Monterey area… they truly do an incredible job and working with them was a pleasure.

My Husband and I got married on 09÷19÷15 at The Intercontinental Clement Monterey.
Dominic and his team did a Fabulous job! From our up-​lighting to the DJ (Brent) everything turned out as perfect as I imagined. After explaining to Dominic what I was looking for in a photographer, he provided Me a perfect fit! Chris Lopez captured every moment EXACTLY as I imagined. He even went hiking with us to get the shots I wanted! They also do in house editing on the photos! I love the way Kat edited my photos, keeping them natural but wedding perfect! To say the least, I have gotten so many compliments on both my engagement photos and my Wedding photos!
DC Events provided everything I needed at my fingertips. They made my life so easy and not to mention the communication was always there. I never went more then 24 hours without a response from them. As a professional in the customer service industry and planning my wedding all on my own, I have to say they get more then 5 stars from me!

We got married at Wedgewood Eagle Ridge on 9÷5÷15 and Brent was our DJ. He was very friendly, professional and easy to work with. We provided him with a list of several music selection, and the rest we left it up to him. He did a wonderful job! Our guests had a great time dancing, and his selections for our musical chair game were perfect! We highly recommend him! Thank you very much Brent!

My daughter, Shayla’s, wedding was an absolute success because of the professional we hired, Dominic Camany owner of DC Events and designs. Dominic and his staff were attentive to every detail. A friend of my daughters contracted Dominic for her photography (which is what we thought was all that DC Events did) and when we contacted him imagine my surprise when I found out he had other services as well. I’m a very busy woman and I love «one stop shopping» if it’s available. DC Events and Design has everything you need for a successful, fun, and truly memorable wedding day.
DC Events supplied lighting rentals, DJ services which included sound systems and music for the wedding service and photography for her wedding. My daughter also requested a photo booth but Dominic was unable to supply however he was extremely forthcoming in recommending another company, Bay Photo Booth, which we were extremely pleased with and even received a discount because of DC Events and Designs recommendation. Everything Dominic suggested we were pleased with. Our biggest mistake with DC Events was NOT hiring them as our videographer. As our budget was tight Dominic did everything in his power to make this option affordable for us. My husband and I just couldn’t make it work. Thanks so much for trying Dominic.
The DJ, Brent, was outstanding. He engaged the crowd and everyone, young and old, were dancing. He played every song that Shayla requested and wouldn’t play some requests that guests asked for because my daughter absolutely did not want them played, i.e.: the chicken dance. Our venue was a difficult place for sound and he did great.
The photographers, Cole and Chris, were awesome. My daughter requested more candid shots than staged and that was what was provided. Chris spent the entire morning with us (bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and flower girl) in our hotel suite while we were doing hair and makeup. He was respectfully of our privacy while still getting the perfect getting ready shots. Cole was with the men and again had all the perfect getting ready shots.
I know this is a long review but DC Events and Designs did so much for us and such an outstanding job I wanted to make sure I reviewed all aspects of his services. Thank You Dominic for Shayla’s fairy tale wedding dream come true.

Brent was our DJ for our wedding at Wedgewood Carmel. He was very helpful and professional! I was all over the place with my music selection and he helped me keep the music classy. Brent Agreed to get it turnt in some parts like our awesome entrance and let our guests make song requests. He has guides for all kinds of music genres that will get all your guests to the dance floor.
Brent also DJd at our beach wedding and the sound was great! I don’t really remember much but I know that canon on the d song when I walked down the isle.

I hired DC Events & Design for our wedding in September of this year for DJ services and photography! Brent was our DJ and throughout the whole process he was completely professional and easy to work with. My husband and I have hi a list of songs we liked so he could get a feel for the type of the music we wanted at or wedding. The most important thing for us was that people were dancing the whole night! And Brent did just that! He kept the events going the whole night and all the guests engaged! Everyone danced the night away and he played an amazing variety of music! Thank you so much Brent!
Chris was our photographer for our wedding. He was also very professional and had great ideas for differs photos. He was also extremely flexible with going between two locations to get before photos of myself as well as my groom! He didn’t get offended at all either when my lovely younger sister instructed poses from Pinterest haha! We haven’t received the final product yet but he did take a few photos on his cell phone and sent them to me and they are AMAZING!!! We also received several complements from our guests that he was very mobile throughout the reception taking in action photos of everyone!
The owner Dominic even stopped into our wedding to make sure all was running smoothly! We absolutely would not have had such an amazing experience with out DC Events & Design! Thank you so much Brent, Chris and Dominic!

My husband and I got married at Wedgewood Carmel on 10÷10÷15. DC Events & Design was the venues vendor for music and DJ and we were lucky enough to get assigned Brian LaPlace, he was Amazing!!! He created an entire playlist for the day of ALL the songs we wanted! We listen to alot off Cali Roots and we were worried that our older guests would not know any of the music, but the playlist was incredible he stuck with all the songs WE loved, and made sure too add in the ones that our guests knew and liked too! He was more than a DJ, he also helped keep our entire wedding timeline on track and made sure everything went as planned with no problems. For my father/​daughter dance i changed my mind 4 days before the wedding on what song I wanted to do, and he was able to create a whole new «special mix» that was amazing and get it to me the next day so we had time to practice. He was constantly checking on my husband and I the whole day, and went out of his way too make sure we were happy. We got soooo many compliments from friends and family on how nice he was and how great the music was! We couldnt have had a better time and we are so grateful to DC Events & Design for sending us Brian for our special day! THANKS AGAIN!!!

My wife and I got married at Wedgewood in Carmel. DC Events is their vendor for photography, videography, and DJ services. My wife and I went with our own photographer and opted out of videography. That said, DC Events provided an excellent DJ for our ceremony and reception. Brian was fantastic. He contacted us via email to schedule a call with my wife and me to go over the details. My wife and I don’t listen to «wedding appropriate» music, so Brian helped us select music that fit the occasion.
As a side-​note, Brian was super excited that I chose a Deftones song for my mother-​son dance. That made me feel like he was the right guy for the job, not because be loved a band that I do, but because it showed how diverse his music experience is.
I can say that I would highly recommend Brian for any event. He’s a true professional on every level.

We rented a party bus from Dominic back in August for my Fiancé’s birthday and could NOT have had a better time! Dominic drove us to Santa Cruz for the night at 8:00 and picked us up around 1:30 to head back to Monterey! The price was very reasonable considering the accommodations we needed. He kept in contact with me through the entire planning process and checked in with me about the detailed a week before the event.
I’m a very meticulous planner and I didn’t feel like I needed to stress about making sure my Fiancé’s birthday went smoothly without any problems. Dominic had it all taken care of! I would HIGHLY recommend DC Events and Design for your event needs.
You know, we have a wedding coming up next September Dominic that could use some video and photography… just saying’ ;)

Brian was our DJ and I just have to say, I couldn’t have been given a better DJ for my wedding night. He was so awesome that guests were telling me days after how good he was. I did get a comment from a couple of the older guests that Brian didn’t play any of ‘their’ music… but it was MY wedding and Brian was there to please ME and MY HUSBAND and he totally did. I am recommending Brian to all of my friends that will be getting married and I hope they use him. At ANY point in the night I wanted to hear something specific he was ready and willing right then to play it next. He put together my husbands mother-​son dance which was a mash-​up that they did a choreographed dance to, he put this together on his own time and even added some really cool effects to it which made it even better. EVERYONE LOVED IT! Again Brian was AMAZING and we are sooooo glad that he was our DJ.

Brian LaPlace did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ. He was not only professional and organized but also very kind and thoughtful. He did a great job keeping us on track and giving us little tips along the way. He TOTALLY got our style and every song that he played was just what we wanted to hear. I honestly could not have asked for more and I would recommend Brian and DC Events to anyone looking for his services.

Dominic from DC Events and Design was absolutely fantastic! He came on time for our wedding shoots and was super easy to work with. He works fast if you want, and if you’re trying to get a perfect shot, he takes his time to get it right — so make sure you let him and the team know what you want out of your video. Dominic’s equipment, for our shoot at least, was quick and easy to set up and take down so moving around to different places for the shoot wasn’t a problem. Our finished videos looked amazing! DC did a great job! Dominic is very easy to get in contact with via phone or email.

Dominic & team are FANTASTIC! DC Events & Design was our wedding videographer. They are very professional and their work is phenomenal. Dominic is always very responsive when I have questions and really listened to my wants in a video and willing to go the extra mile. The highlight reel he ultimately created was romantic and fun at the same time. It will be a memory we will cherish for a lifetime. :)

Wow, where do I even start?! Well, we hired Dominic to do our videography, but after I realized that he was capable of doing videography, a Photo Booth, and a DJ, we were sold! Dominic and I spend quite a bit of time on the phone, during our first conversation, and he asked questions that really allowed him to get a feel for what we were looking for in a videographer. I sent him several sample videos, and I told him my likes and dislikes, as far as wedding videos go. He was able to beautifully execute everything I requested, and he really went above and beyond to make this experience as memorable and effortless as possible.
Dominic was climbing on couches, crouching in the dirt, running up and down stairs, and all with a brilliant smile on his face. All of my guests raved about his dedication, professionalism, and charisma, and Dominic even provided me with a recommendation for a wedding singer named Mark Banks (for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner), and MY GOD we were blown away.
Upon the receipt of my wedding video, I felt this sense of completion and overwhelming joy. He really listened to everything that I said, and the final product was just utter perfection.
I also received a slow motion video of all the madness in the Photo Booth, which I have watched at least 20 times in the last 3 days. HILARIOUS! The photo booth itself was AWESOME, and trust me, my hubby and I are Photo Booth veterans, and this booth beat them all out by a land slide. The clarity, lighting, props, and attendant were all wonderful, and the prints we received are plastered all over our refrigerator.
Brent was our DJ, and I was soooooo pleased with him! He was very professional, kind, attentive, and polite. He kept us on track with our timeline, without ever interrupting a conversation, or «bothering» me. He played all the songs we liked, and the correspondence I had with him, prior to the wedding night, was professional and detailed. I HIGHLY recommend him!
Overall, DC Events and Design really made my big day extra special. Dominic has fabulous ideas, and a creative eye that really helped pull everything together in such a magical and whimsical way.
THANK YOU DOMINIC, YOU ARE AMAZING!

We had a great experience working with DC Events. Brent did a great job as our wedding DJ. He was very professional, friendly and did an awesome job keeping everyone happy throughout the night.
All the songs that were important to us were played at the right times, and the night went really smoothly thanks to his experience with timing and making everything kind of fit together.
When one of my bridesmaids had a last minute idea for a game we played he accommodated that as well. It was really great!

My husband and I just got married last night at Rancho Canada in Carmel and I’m already writing a review for DC Events and Design because they were just that awesome. Dominic was my videographer and he was so amazing to work with. I have heard SUCH great things, but yesterday I truly experienced what a talented guy he is. He was there for every moment. capturing even the small things that I know I will cherish later in our Highlights Video. He was so sweet. listened to what I wanted. made sure everything was as I wanted. and was so smooth in all the video shots as to not «disturb» the moments I had with my bridesmaids, mom, maid of honor, etc. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer. I personally got the platinum package and I’m so happy I did. Because of Dominic I’ll have the best day of my life to look back on forever and ever.
Our DJ was Brian. He was so so so great!!! He, like Dominic, listened to what I wanted, explained our wedding reception timeline so well, kept my reception so that it ran smooth and flawless. He played all our songs. And even came up to me to tell me everything was going to be great and asked my suggestions on certain things when we realized our timing was getting a bit behind. I truly felt like I was in charge the entire time and he was there to make sure my wedding went perfect. What else could a bride and groom ask for. I wish I could give him 10 out of 5 stars.
I know this is a huge, long review. But it was THAT important to me to write it because these two guys played such an important role in the wedding and made it so fantastic. If you’re even still reading this… don’t look to anyone else before you’ve checked out DC Events and Design. They’re the best!
