WHY I DO what i do

People + Music = Memories.

Let me break it down. People are people, and there isn’t anything that can make us alike or change who we are. We’re built to be unique, not like each other. Music is simple; we created something that takes each other on a journey, away from our everyday lives, the world around us, frankly, a safe environment for all emotions. One universal thing we all have in common, no matter how different we are. Memories are experiences that our minds unconsciously store for us. Actions or things kept in our minds for a lifetime to come.

But why do I tell you this? The reason is that, without people, there would be no music, and without music, there would be no dancing, no singing, no one thing that we all have in common. Without people and music combined, no memories would be shared or stored. 

I get the opportunity to help curate music for people celebrating the best day of their lives, creating experiences and memories to be cherished forever. First hand, I get to watch all the emotions that music gives people – to control feelings and take people on a journey they’ve never been on before. I play a role in a lifetime memory and an unforgettable experience. To bring people together to share and enjoy the one thing we have in common. Music.

People + Music = Memories is simply: bring people together, play music, and watch memories form in front of your eyes.

On The Record With Dawson High

At only 15 years of age, it is hard to explain to clients and luxury planners that I’m not just a kid with a laptop and no experience. With the help of my mentors – I have learned how to get my foot into this industry and continue to prove my worth daily.

 

Weddings are all about making an event as special as the couples that I’m honored to celebrate with, and making magic happen for people just like you. They’re about personalizing every detail possible to ensure that your unique wedding visions are brought to life. I understand the importance of your celebration of one of life’s biggest moments, and I promise to create a stress-free experience that you will never forget.

“High Class DJ's was one of our favorite parts of our wedding, hands down!! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they showed punctuality and professionalism when responding to messages and answering questions, and their online portal system (where you choose songs) was so easy and convenient to work with!! Dawson was our DJ and I could not imagine a more fun, energetic set of music for us and our guests. We heard "this DJ is amazing" literally all night - and we agree!!! The dance floor stayed full all night. We were so impressed by Dawson in our meeting a month before the wedding, he made great suggestions that we hadn't thought of before and he truly is so knowledgeable about what runs smoothly at events and the layout of how he plays songs. We have had numerous family and friends reach out to us since the wedding saying that was the best wedding music experience they have ever had…”

“My husband and I booked High Class DJs for our wedding, and it was literally the best time I have ever had out on a dancefloor. When we thought about what we wanted to enjoy and remember most, it was a fun dancefloor that never had a dull moment. We got exactly what we wanted, and I got compliments all night from friends and family about how awesome the music was. So many people commented on how well Dawson was able to read the dancefloor, and how engaged in the music he was the entire time. I have been to a ton of weddings that had good music, but no one has even come close to the seamless transitions Dawson creates, and the light displays and interactions from him and Chris just made it all even better. Dawson and Chris really know how to pump up a bridal party and crowd and I don’t think our wedding would have been as memorable if it weren’t for them…”
