Our convention would not have been as big of a success had it not been for ONDAGO DJ and Photobooth!-Katie Caswell, Logistics LLC, Tourism Holiday Party at Alaska Native Heritage Center – January 30, 2016
His choices of music has always fit the event. The games he has offered have been fun for all ages. The photo booth was a big hit for all. John, thank you so much for the incredible lasting memories from the events you helped plan and delivered. Looking forward for the next event. -Paul & Josie, 30th Wedding Anniversary at Otter Lake Lodge – June 16, 2016
Everything was great and would of course recommend you for any event!!!! Thank you for everything.-Sheila & Al, Wedding at Guadalupe Community Hall – June 25, 2016
He worked with us to pick out the perfect music, he knew how to make the day run without a hitch, and his suggestions made our day better than we could have imagined. The photo booth he provided was a huge hit, and the game he suggested made our event even more memorable.-Tiffany, Wedding at Arctic Valley Lodge – July 12, 2016
Our wedding reception was perfect; the lighting John provided was beautiful, he kept us & our guests entertained all evening, the awesome music he played kept our dance floor packed all night long and the photobooth was a huge hit! We highly recommend Ondago DJ Entertainment!-Jennifer, Wedding at Bayshore Clubhouse – October 29, 2016
Ondago Entertainment was the best decision of my wedding. He was very professional and priced right. He did the timeline and made sure everything went as planned. I would recommend this company.-Jessica, Wedding at Quarter Deck at Hotel Captain Cook – November 5, 2016
He played a wide variety of music for our diverse crowd and even helped us do the mannequin challenge! I am very happy with his service and fully intend to book him again next holiday season.-Aja, Alaska Heart and Vascular Institute – December 3, 2016
If you want your guests to talk about how much fun they had dancing the night away, he is your man. He plays it all! We just let him do his magic and judge the crowd on what to play and when. From cocktail hour music to 24K Magic and everything between.-Amber, AFD NYE FireBall 2016 Commitee – December 31, 2016
We were concerned that people wouldn't dance very much given that it was broad daylight at our outdoor wedding a few days from the solstice, but he kept people on the floor all night long. My new mother-in-law, who is not usually a dancer, said she wished the whole thing had kept going until morning.-Gail & Rob, Wedding at Crow Creek Mine – June 28, 2015
They kept it fun and upbeat. John was super helpful with even planning everything, choosing songs, set up, and timing. I would absolutely recommend Ondago to anyone I know. Thank you so much for making our day SO awesome!-Shannon & John, Wedding at Bayshore Clubhouse – August 12, 2016
John was amazing! He was very organized and helpful during the planning process and we had multiple people come up to us during the wedding to say how amazing all of the music was! Would definitely recommend him for any event! Made our wedding perfect!-Kimmy & Andrew, Wedding at Kahiltna Ballroom at Hotel Alyeska – August 9, 2015
I could not be more happy with our choice in DJ's. My groom and I were in such good hands with John. He was so helpful every step of the way. His tools and tips and expertise with the planning of our big day were a tremendous help to me. I am so thankful for his wonderful work.-Lisa & Ryan, Wedding at Alyeska Hotel – June 8, 2015
John went above and beyond our expectations and we truly appreciate all of his hard work! Our wedding event went beautifully and John is especially one to Thank. So Thank You so very much for all that you did for us!-Trinnity & Daniel, Wedding at Second Star in Homer, Alaska – September 24, 2016
Thank you for exceeding our expectations! You knew we didn’t want a traditional wedding. We wanted the “wow” factor and you succeeding in helping us achieve it. No need for a wedding planner when you have a great DJ who keeps the music rockin’ and activities rollin’.
-Marcia & Randy, Wedding at Anchorage Private Residence – July 10, 2010
We are so different when it comes to music but you managed to keep us both happy and our guests having a great time. We’ve been told that our wedding was a fun one and it wouldn’t have been possible without you!-Susan & Craig, Wedding at Eagle River Lions Club – July 24, 2010
He had so many resources and ideas that helped with planning the entire wedding, not just the music. He checked in throughout the planning to make sure things were going smoothly. Hands down one of the best decisions we made was to hire John.-Darcie & Joe, Wedding at Hotel Captain Cook – July 8, 2011
John was fantastic. We interviewed 8 DJ’s for our wedding and John was the best. He was so prepared and such a great help. He developed a timeline for our wedding the day after we met, customized songs for our entrance songs and our first dance. All of our guests loved his music choices and his ability to go from karaoke to dance music seamlessly. It was a great time.-Anna & Ryan, Wedding at Top of the Hill Chalet – July 23, 2011
I would certainly recommend a DJ to keep the flow going, especially if you don’t have a wedding planner, which I didn’t. He has a huge selection of music, and if he doesn’t have it, he will find it for you! He was very accommodating to requests, and flexible with the crowd, playing what he sensed the guests liked best. Ondago is a smart choice!-Jeri & Patrick, Wedding at 188 West Northern Lights Tower – September 24, 2011
This company was very professional and on the ball! Music was played that kept all ages dancing through the night. ONDAGO even helped with a timeline so that the transition of events went smoothly. I highly recommend them for a wedding or any event with dancing.-Sabrina & Adam, Wedding at Anchorage Hilton – December 31, 2011
John was just incredible! John is the owner of Ondago but unlike most entertainment companies you contract with you meet with the owner or manager and some other fellow shows up at the reception. Not John you meet with him, you talk to him, and he is the one DJing your wedding. I was so impressed with how prepared and professional John was, he helped us plan the timeline for the ceremony and any music we wanted if he didn’t have it he got it. He kept the reception running smoothly. If it weren’t for John our night would not have been as great as it was. I recommend John to anyone and everyone getting married.-Stephanie & Edward, Wedding at Hilton Anchorage – March 10, 2012
All of our guests commented about how great the DJ was and how it really showed that he knew what he was doing. Not only are his services excellent, he comes at a great value. I did a lot of research before choosing Ondago, and I think he has the best prices for excellent service. He outdid every expectation I had of him and any bride would be happy with his expertise.-Jamie & Patrick, Wedding at Hotel Alyeska – March 17, 2012
He was very helpful and fun to he had some great ideas too that I had never heard of he made are wedding a very special event that I would not forget I was so happy with how everything turned and couldn’t thank him enough.
-Linda & Zach, Wedding at Grandview Hotel – March 31, 2012
John at ONDAGO is extremely experienced at being more than a DJ at a wedding. From the first meeting, he always came prepared with detailed timelines, examples from previous weddings he was a part of and ideas for us to consider. He’s not only easy to relate to, but fun to be around as all of our “30” minutes meetings over coffee turned into more than an hour. If you’re looking for a friendly, talented, experienced DJ for your wedding at tremendous value, John’s your man.-Sarah & Mark, Wedding at Tanglewood Lakes Lodge (aka Fox Hollow) – May 26, 2012
John was wonderful to work with! He made sure everything ran smoothly and kept us on “schedule” with our reception timeline. He made great music choices and we had many guests compliment us on our DJ! John was very accommodating and met with us multiple times. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ in our area.-Sara & Robbie, Wedding at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge – July 7, 2012
John was SO helpful! He basically organized my entire wedding day and paid attention to every detail. The day went so smoothly and everyone had a great time! I HIGHLY recommend his services for anyone, but especially those planning a wedding.-Terri & John, Wedding at Alyeska Hotel – July 28, 2012
Great DJ all around. Did a fantastic job with everything. The music was great and he really knows how to get the crowd going and keep things on track! He helped with so much more than just the music, this guy with go out of his way to help make it as special as he can! People are still telling me how much fun they had this night. I’ll definitely be referring him!!-Marisa & William, Wedding at Viking Hall – December 15, 2012
The pacing and mood of the reception itself was perfect. John is incredibly professional. He dressed in a suit, had top of the line equipment, provided great lighting, helped with the setup of the slideshow, and worked with the photographer/caterers/cake setup to ensure that everything was perfect. His choice in music was spot on, and we all had a great time. We would highly, highly recommend John with Ondago.-Sonnet & Todd, Wedding at Moose Run Golf Lodge – February 23, 2013
Ondago DJ is awesome he is very personable and made me wedding a fun event but still kept my theme on point. Everyone there told me they loved the music and thought he was great! Also he put together a wonderful slideshow for the families it made everything feel very personal and special.-Jenna & Kyle, Wedding at Jitters Café – March 17, 2013
At the reception, he patiently and professionally kept us on track, my husband and I have a tendency to not keep track of time. He even kindly took requests from some pushy ladies:) Once the dancing started, guests were on the dance floor all night! John made our special day awesome and very fun! Thank you!-Eileen & Luke, Wedding at Glacier Express (aka Bore Tide Café) at Alyeska – June 21, 2013
I highly recommend John Fernandez as a DJ! He took care of more than just our music in many ways. He lead our rehearsal and made sure everyone was where they should be and knew what they should be doing. He also kept our wedding day flowing nicely and timely. John is professional and worked very well with our venue and our photographer. I can’t say enough good things about this DJ. He definitely helped fill our wedding day with fun and laughter. John also had great music and if he didn’t already have what we wanted he went above and beyond to get it for us. I can’t thank him enough!!-Heather & Josh, Wedding at O’Malley on the Green – June 30, 2013
I needed a DJ who could orchestrate the evening and I am so glad I chose Ondago Mobile Entertainment! The evening was perfect – and it was great to have someone who took the time to really understand what I wanted for the evening!
Thanks so much for making our day so wonderful!-Natalia & Stephen, Wedding at Cooper Landing Community Hall – July 7, 2013
JOHN FERNANDEZ was GREAT~ His online planning form was like having a wedding planner and DJ all in one! He helped us with schedule, timing, order, and ideas for the ceremony and reception. He was VERY flexible and great to work with. Having him at our rehearsal was key for making sure the ceremony went perfect the day of!-Beki & Paul, Wedding at O’Malley on the Green – July 27, 2013
Our wedding would not have gone as smoothly and perfectly as it did without John Fernandez as our DJ. I wasn’t keen on the idea of getting a DJ at first, but knowing now how much he helped, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Hiring John as our DJ didn’t only mean he was going to play fun music throughout the night, it meant we had a dedicated, thoughtful person that did everything he could do to make the entire day run well. He is very personable. We met with him multiple times before the wedding to go over every detail that was important. Communication was no problem for him. He would respond to messages almost instantly. He went above and beyond his requirements as DJ and I am so thankful for it. He made our day such a breeze and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thanks, John, for making our wedding amazing.-Nikki & Jeremy, Wedding at Hotel Alyeska – July 14, 2013
John Fernandez did an excellent job at our wedding. His preparation and experience helped relieve the stress of managing the days activities. He has great suggestions for music to set the right mood for the various times whether it is ceremony, dinner, dancing, or in between. He was flexible in our meeting times and created a wedding day schedule to ensure we didn’t miss anything. His prices were very competitive and we definitely got great value. The guests were very impressed with how enjoyable everything turned out. I would recommend his services to friends and families.-Amanda & James, Wedding at Crow Creek Mine – August 2, 2013
John had great recommendations, ideas, and services for planning every little detail of our reception. He took time to understand how we envisioned our night. As master of ceremonies for our event he came through in every way. Thanks John.-Michelle & Lucas, Wedding at Alaska Native Heritage Center – August 10, 2013
John is amazing to work with and has many great ideas. Not only does he listen to what you want but he also has the tools to add many things that you wouldn’t even expect. Greatest DJ for a wedding!! We met with John several times leading up to our Wedding. He was very meticulous in his planning and asked all of the right questions. He gave us tons of helpful input and helped us decide on the perfect touches that reflected who we were in our song choices and in planning our ceremony. John did such an awesome job guiding and keeping everything on track. Several people commented on the nice “flow” from ceremony to reception and that it was one of the more enjoyable weddings they had been to. People were talking, dancing, eating and even singing while enjoying their night all with tasteful, pleasant music and lighting in the background. The music was never too loud and was very thoughtfully planned out. I would highly recommend Ondago for any event requiring DJ services. 5 stars across the boards!-Adam & Cher, Wedding at Bayshore Clubhouse – August 23, 2013
He met with us whenever we wanted, even with short notice. Was very professional, while making us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Kept the dance floor going, was very good at what he does. He had great suggestions and went above and beyond to make it a spectacular event. He helped with lighting, both using his own and help find someone who would do a little extra to make the whole room look amazing!-Shannon & Joshua, Downtown Marriott – August 24, 2013
John was amazing. My day was perfect from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception. He is very professional and had a great personality and attitude. The up lighting in the room was perfect. He also plays the music you want to hear. Not only was it my wedding but his birthday too. He did not have to do my wedding but he chose too which made it extra special. I would recommend john to anyone.-Tiffany & Sebastien, Wedding at Alyeska Hotel – June 21, 2014
John and his staff were AMAZING! They not only were awesome djs but I felt like he planned my wedding! He helped me put together a really good timeline that I copied and used for myself and some of my other vendors! Everything went so well and we had people dancing of all ages!! Definitely would recommend John with On Da Go Dj!!-Haley & Travis, Wedding atore Tide Café, Alyeska – June 21, 2014
ONDAGO DJ not only filled in his requirements but went above and beyond when it came to the father daughter dance during the reception. As a last minute decision my bride and her father wanted to do a custom wedding dance mixing Heartland’s “I Loved Her First” and Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight”. With less than 24 hours to go, this mix was created and performance routine rehearsed by ONDAGO DJ using the songs, some special sounds effects, and some quality acting. We recommend ONDAGO DJ with a total of 5 stars because there is no other DJ in Alaska that even comes close to this man’s skill, professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care for each individual event.-Courtney & Jacques, Wedding at Bore Tide Café at Alyeska – June 28, 2014
John was fantastic! He knew exactly how to make our wedding reception flow smoothly and was able to make everyone happy. He played music that everyone could dance to and he took on the role of reception coordinator which was exactly what we needed. He was polite, professional and courteous. Great job John and we thank you for making our wedding so special. We highly recommend him.-Dané & Todd, Wedding at Private Residence in Talkeetna – August 2, 2014
He provided us with a fantastic service and did everything possible to make our wedding a special day! Without John there is NO WAY that our wedding could be such a success and could bring so much laughter and joy to us and our guests. I would 100% recommend Ondago DJ Entertainment to everyone who wants their wedding to be fun and memorable event. Thank you John, we are your forever loyal clients.-Oksana & Ovi, Wedding at Settler’s Bay Lodge – August 23, 2014
John did an amazing job at our wedding! All my guests said he really made the evening flow well and played the perfect music for the venue! He was the best part of my wedding planning too! On time, professional, had all my information in hand at each meeting which was not my experience with anyone else. Thanks so much John!!-Amanda & Ashton, Wedding at Raven Glacier Lodge – September 26, 2014
John you KILLED IT at our wedding!! I am sooooo grateful for your expertise and making our wedding so much fun!! You had everyone on the dance floor until the very end and your intuition on what songs to play was spot on. Anytime you need a referral for a wedding or event send them my way!! You are a phenomenal DJ and I’m so very grateful for all the time and thought you put in to make 12/13/14 a day to remember for our family and friends.-Katie & Sage, Wedding at Alaska Native Heritage Center – December 13, 2014
The Anchorage Senior Activity Center have recently re-started our monthly Friday Night Dances. We were please to have John provide the music for our second dance. He came highly recommended and was a pleasure to work with. His set-up crew was timely, courteous, and accommodating. Our customers gave him great reviews we will certainly will use him in the future, as well as recommend him to others. Thanks again John for making our Seniors smile.-Bobbie Taylor, Anchorage Senior Center
John did a great job at our wedding! He made sure everyone was out dancing and having a good time. He played all the songs that were on our play list and pretty much all the songs that were requested. You won't be disappointed having John being the DJ at your event!-Jen & Robbie, Wedding at Alyeska Hotel – November 21, 2015
John knows how to read his crowd! He had everyone on the dance floor throughout our entire evening, old(er) and young, and played music to everyone's taste! We gladly recommend John for any event, and will absolutely hire him again if we plan another major event in Alaska! Thank you John for helping make our wedding an unforgettable day!!-Yekaterina & Michelle, Wedding at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge – September 5, 2015
