My organization used DNA Project for an event that required multiple panels and a networking reception, the prices were very reasonable and the equipment and sound worked well the whole time! We often have AV issues at our events but everything was seamless. Highly recommend this service!

Headlined by the incredible DNA Project entertainment company, the evening at the Peace Ambassadors Gala in September, at the Omni King Edward Hotel in Toronto, was electric. With explosive performances and powerful vocals, the DNA musical ensemble lit up the historic venue, leaving the audience in awe. - Angelique
