Reviews of ThunderStorm Productions DJ Service & Amusement Rentals (Event Planner)

Destiny Moser

We wanted to send a big thank you to Eric and his team at Thunderstorm Productions. With the current lockdown and COVID protocols, we needed to get creative. We have one of the biggest families and it was important for all of us to be able to come together, and celebrate my mother's life. Not only did Thunderstorm provide the audio/video for our family's to listen to from their cars, they also provided a live video feed and recording of the funeral for the ones that could not be there in person. These are unprecedented times and we couldn’t have pulled off this unique event during a COVID lockdown without them.

Simply amazing. Worked with Eric to deliver the Movie Fun Box to over 125 volunteers. His responses to emails were extremely quick and the quality of the product was top notch. The feedback was extremely positive! Thanks so much, would recommend their services and will definitely be using them again!!

We used ThunderStorm Productions rentals for a party this summer. A large group of Disney enthusiasts got together for a work event and the Dole Whip rental was the perfect treat for everyone who attended. It's a signature treat in the Disney Parks, so to be able to have at our own event was a major hit! Thanks for adding a little magic to our shindig!

Got back to me immediately. My experience was first rate and professional! Kept the crowd dancing all night. Highly recommend for your next event!

I have been working with Eric from Thunderstorm personally and professionally since he DJ'd my wedding almost 10 years ago. Thunderstorm is more than a DJ company with fun food rentals and the most amazing soft serve Dole ice cream I have ever had. Eric and his team are fun yet very professional. You can't go wrong hiring Thunderstorm for your family or corporate event!

This past weekend we had our virtual ceremony with Thunderstorm. 100% of our guests tuned in to watch it as we couldn’t have them attend in person. They all LOVED it! Our family in Belgium and friends in the USA were able to attend during a pandemic! One guest said it was awesome - he watched our ceremony on the big screen while eating chicken wings and drinking beer in his underwear. Every guest commented that they loved this, not having to find something to do between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. It was perfect. I personally believe this could become the way that all ceremonies happen from now on!

Eric went out of his way to join a parade I had arranged for my child's birthday. He even went so far as to ask what our favourite music was. Music can transport us to another time and place and his services put a smile on everyone's face. For a brief moment, we forgot the realities of the pandemic. When he left he reminded me that he was happy to help with graduation or anything else I needed. He is not charging for these 'dancing distantly' events. I can't imagine how much he has lost in revenue, but continues to go above and beyond - just to bring some normalcy to the community. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with him and his entire team. His empathy and compassion during such a dark time returned some light to our lives. Thank you, Thunderstorm Productions! We will definitely keep you in mind for future events!!

Thunderstorm Productions has supplied Fun Foods for Family Birthday Parties, and I've also booked them in for a Dance Party. The slushie machine was a HUGE hit at my Daughter's birthday party. And their soft serve and DJ services at a PJ Dance Party I hosted were AWESOME. They are easy to correspond with and offer great service. Their Fun Foods are getting so busy that we get to help them with staffing now sometimes. So great to have met Eric, booking them, and now being able to work with them.

Eric and his team responded quickly in advance of the funeral. He listened to what we wanted and quickly arranged the details with the church, arranged the live-stream and the pics/video. He made our life easy and gave us the USB within 10 minutes of the finish. Highly technical, great equipment and easy to work with. Thank you Eric. Pleasure to work with you. Tony

ThunderStorm provided DJ and livestream services for our microwedding at Pine Valley Chalet on October 15 and we have nothing but amazing things to say about their services, professionalism, communication, and quality of work. They showed up earlier than they needed to, had a slideshow of photos of us for virtual guests to view as they waited for the wedding, 3 camera angles of our wedding ceremony (all high quality), and sent us a copy of our wedding video in less than a day. The music was perfect, too - they completed of my music requests at the exact right times with a smile! Definitely would recommend them to anyone :)

Chris Arnold

Eric runs a fantastic entertainment business. Not only does he have great DJs but so many other options to make your event memorable. Doesn’t hurt that he can also serve pineapple soft serve ice cream! Highly recommended.

Steven Budafalvi

I would strongly recommend thunderstorm! Eric and his staff were very professional and accommodating. They made my wife night!

Terry Edwards

Just wanted to give Eric Hoshooley a huge shout out. Eric and one of the Thunderstorm vans from his fleet came by on Tuesday evening to help surprise my beautiful wife for her 51st birthday for a socially distanced driveway party!!!! Eric parked at the end of the driveway and blasted the perfect playlist to help celebrate. Eric and Thunderstorm is highly recommended for all your events, personal and Corprate. Thanks again!!!

Tasha Franzese

This production company is the company to go to, without a doubt. They are very professional, outgoing and know exactly what they’re talking about. They will tell you what will work for your event and what won’t, which is perfect because it shows they really care about the final product and the overall customer experience. I’ve only had great experiences with them. All of their services are top notch and I would recommend to anyone!

Sean Mulder

Eric and the team at Thunderstorm are crowd pleasers! They will do everything they can to make sure your party, wedding, or event exceeds your expectations!

Rachel Williams

Red Bicycle Paper Co.

I have known and worked along side Eric and his team for years. But most recently, Eric was onsite at my surprise birthday party with his DrinkBox, playing my favourite 90's music! It was fabulous, and the perfect addition to my party. He and his team know their stuff and have always impressed me! I can't wait to attend more events where you're DJ'ing or supplying your food and drink machines!

Simon Dowrick

I would highly recommend Thunderstorm Productions for the DJ service, fun food rentals or events. Eric is very customer service orientated and contributes to the community all the time. He is very reliable, honest and enthusiastic about any project he is working on. He has a large network and can recommend many other services in the event industry.

We have been to many events that Eric and his team have been the dj's. What I like most about them is their punctuality, their professionalism, their quick set-up and they can sense the vibe in the crowd. Which makes people want to dance and have a good time. I have seen people who do not enjoy dancing at all. Eric easily picks up on that and by the end of the night they are either dancing on the floor or in their seats! We have used ThunderStorm Productions for more than their dj service. They also offer arcade games, dole whip machines, popcorn machines and a slue of other fun event stuff! I highly recommend ThurderStorm Productions - they are an A+ on our list. Karima Kassam (Event Depot).

Eric is a great guy, been doing this forever and is the best in the business !

Thomas Russell

An extremely professional, entertaining experience no more what event you're planning. They have exactly what you need from rental amusments equipment right up to fully experienced DJ services.

Sarah Boswell

Found the perfect music for the occasion. Awesome experience - thank you!

Kristen Ross

Eric was super quick to respond to my request for live-streaming / DJ my wedding. He was great to answer the many questions I had and made sure the process was smooth. Neil was the one who lived stream / DJ our wedding and he did an amazing job!!! Not only was he able to stream for our friends and family to watch our ceremony live but at the end of our first dance, he put on the grooms favourite song and handed him the mic. I guess Neil overheard the groomsman talking and he surprised the groom. Let’s just say it was defiantly a highlight to our ceremony and our friends and family got to watch the groom sing his favourite bar song. Very impressed and would highly recommend Eric and his team.

Laura Umbrio

Time and time again we are impressed with the quality of service and expertise at ThunderStorm. Eric understands what we envision and delivers a superior experience. Thanks Eric!

Andrew Campeau

Unbelievable wedding experience. Thank you from the Groom.

Tim Loveday

Unique equipment available for rental. Our event turned out awesome because of the friendly and helpful assistance of the great team at Thunderstorm! Looking forward to working together again in the future.

Kelly Camara

Ordered popcorn and icecream as gifts and everyone loved their treats. Friendly service and quick response. Thank you.

Mary Ann Middleton

The day my daughter set her wedding date, we immediately booked Thunderstorm Productions. Music can make or break your reception. Needless to say we were thrilled with Eric's song choices. He kept everyone engaged and dancing and helped to make the evening an outstanding success. I highly recommend Eric and ThunderStorm Productions.

Tomáš Štangl

Amazing DJ service. Eric made the entire process very easy to arrange right from the quick responses to our questions about our event specifics right to the VERY EASY to use website event portal! The process of picking out music, giving our timeline to Eric to arranging the day of specifics was a lot of fun and Eric makes the wedding day that much more enjoyable! He has terrific equipment he brings on site and goes above and beyond to ensure all guests enjoy the event. His popcorn machine was a two thumbs up huge hit and a highlight of the latter part of our evening. Highly recommend his service!

Gerald Camacho

Amazing service, highly entertaining and very professional.

Dominika Rusiecki

The owner is both professional and easy to talk to. I have attended a few events where Thunderstorm productions was dj'ing and its always been a great night where everyone is dancing to the wee hours! Would highly recommend!

Amber Stemmler

I love working with the Thunderstorm Productions team, they are some of the most personable and talented DJs you will ever meet! They always arrive early to set up and are on their A-game at all times at our weddings! They are a true entertainment gem in the Waterloo region and beyond! From fun party food rentals like their soft serve, slushie, popcorn, cotton candy to their DrinkBox for beverage and on-site refridgeration needs & so much more! Highly recommend them for their DJ services, fun food rentals and all the other entertainment amenities they offer!

Caroline Michalski

ThunderStorm Productions provided exceptional entertainment for our company Christmas party. Terry, our DJ, was professional and awesome to deal with. We were very pleased with the service provided!!!

Dave Hopkinson

I have used Eric and his team for a few corporate events and would highly recommend Thunderstorm

Lori O'Toole

We used Thunderstorm Productions to live stream our Covid wedding, the service is incredible! Very simple to use by just clicking a link to their video streaming platform. They were able to incorporate our music choices for the processional, recession and signing documents. Provide a microphone for the officiant so everything is heard clearly. They provide high quality video and sound that all of our online guests commented on. There is also a comments section where your guests can chat during the ceremony. Through Thunderstorm Productions services we were able to have family and friends from all over the country witness our wedding when they could not attend in person. Highly recommend their services and will be using them again in the future.

Derek Wood

We used ThunderStorm Productions for a soft serve ice cream machine rental at the LTC home that I work at. Eric was incredibly helpful and was very fast with his responses. The ice cream tasted delicious and the fact that the mix was a powder that did not require refrigeration made set up of our event run easily and smoothly! ThunderStorm Production was very flexible to work with for drop off and pick up of the machine. Everything arrived sparkling clean and you can tell they take pride in their equipment! Thank you so much for everything Eric!

Mike Chabot
