Damian was hired to DJ at Pope John Paul’s grade 8 graduation, and I must say, his performance exceeded all expectations. Let me share that my oldest daughter had graduated from the same school two years prior, and her graduation dance lacked energy and crowd interaction, with most kids leaving early. However, Damian changed the game by starting off with a fun icebreaker game that got the kids excited and engaged. He continued to interact with them throughout the night, taking requests and even allowing a student to try their hand at DJing.

Every single student was included and up on their feet dancing the whole night, thanks to Damian’s lively energy and the added touch of his smoke machine and bubbles. Both parents and kids were incredibly impressed by his performance, as he truly went above and beyond to make the night memorable for everyone. Damian, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this graduation dance a truly unforgettable experience for these kids!

We had Damien as our DJ for our wedding on June 1st. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. He was very helpful with choosing songs for our ceremony and reception. He played all the songs we requested.

The oven mitt and scavenger hunt game was a hit with all our guests. It got everyone interacting and laughing.

I was dancing most of the night with friends and family. He even had a bubble machine which everyone loved.

We received many compliments on our DJ and that he kept the energy up all night!

Un énorme merci à notre fantastique DJ qui a animé le “Bal Fleuri” de l’École secondaire catholique de La Vérendrye. Grâce à son talent et à son énergie débordante, il a su créer une ambiance incroyable qui a enchanté tous les élèves présents. Sa liste de lecture, incluant de nombreuses pièces en français, a été particulièrement appréciée et a fait danser tout le monde, et ce, toute la soirée. Merci pour cette soirée inoubliable !

Damian did our wedding on May 4th. He did such amazing job and always got our guests up dancing. Damian was so easy to work with, and he respected our wishes when we asked him not to play certain songs. He also brought such awesome light show along too. He suggested games to us (ie. using hersey kisses instead of bells to get the bride and groom to kiss), the oven mitt game with our bridal party, which everyone had lots of laughter and fun doing. Alot of our guests made lots of comments on how good the lights show was and the music. Damian is the #1 guy to go to for any of your DJ needs.

LISA HIPWELL

We had the pleasure of having Damien as our DJ for our shag, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment the music started, the dance floor was packed, and the energy was electric. Despite the event being over capacity by 9:45 PM, Damien kept the party going all night long. The music selection was impeccable, and every song seemed perfectly timed to keep the crowd on their feet.

After the shag, everyone couldn’t stop raving about the music, with many saying it was the best they had ever heard at a shag. Damien truly understood the vibe we were going for and delivered beyond our expectations. If you want your event to be unforgettable, Damien is a must-have. Thank you for making our shag one of the best nights ever. We can’t wait for our wedding!!

TAYLER & KEVIN GALLEY

We won Damian’s services in 2021 during the pandemic, at a local online wedding show. We hadn’t thought about dj services yat at the time but I remember jumping up and down with joy as it was one thing off of our list of to do. He was so knowledgeable and confident that we knew we had to have him as our DJ. It just so happened that he only had one free day for the 2023 wedding year, that being our wedding date. Safe to say this was meant to be. Not only was Damian the most helpful and organized dj, he also made our wedding night unforgettable. The games made everyone excited and burst into laughter, getting the party started for a night of dancing and great music. All of our friends and family have been raving about this night and we couldn’t have done it without his services! Thank you again and I HIGHLY recommend Thunder and Light Entertainment!

Highly recommend Damian !!

We used Damian for our DJ for our wedding and are so very glad we did. He was great to work with, responding quickly to every message with questions leading up to our wedding and met with us before hand. He went above and beyond and really made the night with games involving the crowd that everyone loved and we’re so fun to watch. He is a very involved DJ and had the dance floor packed from start to finish. We truly had a great experience and cannot recommend enough!

EMMA KWASNY

Damian did everything thing that was asked of him and more! He went the extra mile and brought in a bubble machine which took the party to the next level. Easy to work with and helps when needed. Would definitely recommend using thunder and lights entertainment for your big day!

CHELSEA SIERRA

We booked Damian as our DJ for our September 2023 wedding: he did both the ceremony and reception for us.

I HIGHLY recommend booking T&L for your special day!

– Damian will help your MC day-of which is a huge plus: we had so many guests say how well the reception “flowed” from one thing to another
– Damian will meet and correspond with you lots before the big day so that you know your special songs and moments are looked after
– Damian runs GREAT games at the wedding reception and customized them to us/our crowd/comfort level which we really appreciated
– Damian’s music, setup and lights/bubbles make him much more than just hitting play – he knows how to keep a dance floor dancing

CLAIRE FARRELL

Damian was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire past year while planning our wedding on Aug 12,2023. I enquired on several occasions his opinions on a variety of topics and he would call me within seconds to give me his opinions on the matter (not only music related) and was very enthusiastic and professional. He offered to emcee our wedding which was the best decision. He delivered a wonderful service in so many ways! He was very adaptable and kept the flow of the ceremony and reception going. We danced until closing! I highly recommend !!

SILVANA MAXWELL

Would definitely recommend Damian to be your DJ for any event !!! He made sure he got to know us and he was always so prompt in answering a phone call or text to ask any questions or concerns that we had. He was very easy to get along with and has a great personality which is so important to get people dancing and having fun. Best DJ in Thunder Bay for sure We loved having your company for our shag and wedding! And to add- we had lots of compliments about the music and everyone was always on the dance floor!!!

CARLEE FRANCES

We have hired Damian to DJ a few of our events now, and each time was a blast!! He is able to keep the night going song after song, he takes requests and interacts with the crowd. He has such a deadly personality and is a great people person, which is a huge bonus when hiring a DJ.

He is our go to guy for a fun night filled with great tunes, dance moves and many MANY laughs!!

LINDSEY GLADU

Don’t hesitate to book with Damian! If your looking for a sign to book with him. This is it. Damian is the BEST in the business. If he’s available for your event- this is who you want for several reasons. He can get the dance floor a PARTY! The ability he has to read the room and choose the PERFECT SONGS from his never ending music collection. Damian played songs that were perfect for our Shag event. A perfect mix of popular and classics to get everyone on the dance floor. The quality of his equipment makes each corner of the room light up while still being able to chat and hear one another. Damian even has his own special equipment to make the event more special such as a bubble machine, lights and so much more.

From my very first contact with Damian – I was blown away by his professionalism and his passion for his job. I reached out to him in the evening on a Sunday of a long weekend and he called me within 15 minutes. After a chat, I knew right away this is who I want to be a part of our shag and wedding team. Throughout the process- Damian was knowledgeable about questions I had during the shag process, where things should go and what order prizes should be announced in. Damian was able to announce draws and prizes in an effective and efficient yet funny and relaxed way.
By the end of the night – I had several people reach out to me asking who he was as they are looking to book with him. Personally- Damian reassured me and went above and beyond of our expectations. He’s genuinely the nicest and coolest person.

Damian, thank you so much for everything and I can’t wait for you to DJ our wedding.

ELIZABETH MARIA

JENNIFER UMLJENOVIC

Damien DJ’ed my wedding this past October and did a phenomenal job. He played such a mixture of music, as a bride I never left the dance floor. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for a DJ. Truly Thunder Bay’s BEST!

COURTNEY MCLENNAN

Damian is by the far best DJ around. He’s more then just a DJ. He’s the full package.
My advice is that you contact Damian first for his availability and then pick your wedding or event date based on his schedule.

He was 10/10
Not only did he rock the dance floor from start to finish but he played the most entertaining games and totally provided the entertainment to our wedding. We got so many compliments. I suggest letting Damian do what he does best and turn over full control of your event.
I had asked for a certain song to be played due to an emotional memory with a loved one. When the song came on as asked I began to tear up on the dance floor. Damian didn’t miss a beat and Saw this happen before other did and asked me to trust him and he put on a song that distracted me and got me right back in the party mood. We cannot thank him enough for the number of people who told us they had the best night ever.

AMANDA CHILDS

Thank you for helping to make the KKETS graduation amazing!

EMILY GALLOWAY

The first phone conversation I had with Damian made me feel confident he was the right dj for my wedding. He explained the amount of experience he has with such enthusiasm!
Closer to the wedding we needed help figuring out how to have a ceremony without electric outlets. Damian right away knew what to do and had the equipment to
Do so.

He offered to be our MC for the reception and the night FLOWED. He even did a funny game to get everyone laughing! He did everything on point and really worked with our other vendors to make it perfect and stress free

We heard such great feedback from the guests about the music, bubble machine and lights. It was just the perfect extra touch to an amazing night

We can’t thank Damian enough and he did it so effortlessly i would recommend him to anyone. 10/10!!

JESSICA JANE

Book early or you’ll miss out on the best DJ in town! Everyone told us we were crazy for booking so early, but when I got in touch with Damien over a year before our date (July 2, 2022) our day was the last left for the month. So you know he must be good! Everything was fun and fantastic, and if the venue would have allowed it, he would have played all night! Damien worked with my husband and I to come up with an awesome list of East Coast inspired tunes to fit the theme of our wedding and make our Maritime guests (and us) feel at home. He also nailed every important moment that had tunes attached. See the pic! A friend of mine after the wedding messaged me and goes “I can HEAR this picture.” Meaning they appreciated the maritime dance party Over and above the music, a huge thumbs up to the games and bubble machine! The games got our smaller crowd roaring and the bubbles got the kids out on the dance floor, plus gave a nice touch to the final dance of the night.

AMBER SAVILLE

We 100000% recommend Damian to all of our friends because he’s the BEST DJ EVER!!!He MCed all night & was able to read the room & make us all laugh at his hilarious games & commentary!
