74 Events

our vibe. I was introduced to Gary at 74 Events through a friend, and quickly noticed that many of the weddings I admired on social media had all worked with his team. That consistency spoke volumes. Gary is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and generous human. He has such a calm, gentle sensibility that immediately puts you at ease—even a very stressed bride (me). He connected us with Preston, who ultimately became our DJ, and from our first conversation, it was clear we were aligned. Preston and I instantly clicked while trading references and ideas—we wanted a true bistro disco vibe: 70s grooves, 90s R&B, NYC energy, and absolutely no Bruno Mars, country, or tacky Top 40. By the end of the call, Preston said, “Okay, no matter what happens, I’m DJ’ing your wedding,” and I knew we were in great hands. Gary and Preston were consummate professionals throughout the process. They worked seamlessly with our planner (they’d collaborated before, which made everything even smoother), took our curation seriously, and handled every detail—from song selection to pacing and tone—with care and confidence. On the wedding day, Preston delivered an incredible experience. He honored our playlist and vision while also layering in crowd-pleasers that delighted our parents and their guests. He didn’t even flinch when my dad started pantomiming Michael Jackson dance moves—true professional behavior. One of my favorite moments of the night was at the very end, when only a handful of close friends were left on the dance floor and Preston closed things out with Mariah Carey—All I Want for Christmas and other hits included. It was joyful, hilarious, and completely unforgettable. We would absolutely work with 74 Events again for a future celebration. Thoughtful, cool, and genuinely fun to collaborate with—this team knows how to create a night people will remember.

ding about the music. It spanned all generations so it was inclusive, but it was so funky and groovy, exactly what me and my husband wanted. He kept announcements minimal, but was there to facilitate every important moment as needed. From start to finish, the professionalism he and Gary showed, was exactly what we needed and hoped for. Communication was seamless, Duane arrived early, and they even provided extra support and additions without hesitation or charge. Everything ran flawlessly, and we truly did not experience a single bump along the road. The energy, execution, and care they brought made such a difference, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

very beginning and delivered it flawlessly. Every transition felt effortless, every song choice was spot-on, and he kept the energy in the room absolutely perfect throughout the entire night. He read the crowd beautifully—our guests were on the dance floor non-stop, and so many people came up to us raving about how amazing the music was. He balanced our must-plays with his own expert selections, and the result was a night that felt personal, elevated, and completely unforgettable. Beyond the music, his professionalism and calming presence made the entire experience seamless. He communicated clearly, worked so well with our planner, and made sure every moment—from the aisle walk to our first dance to the final song—felt special. If you’re looking for a DJ who can set the tone, elevate the celebration, and create an atmosphere people will talk about long after the night is over, 74 Events (Gary) + DJ Kahn is the one. He helped make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more.

or. One of the biggest reliefs was that we never had to serve as a go-between for our vendors—Gary handled communication directly with them, which made the planning process stress-free. In the months leading up to the wedding, we met multiple times to discuss music and audio preferences, and we always felt listened to and supported. On the day of our wedding, we worked with Carver AKA DJ Carver The Great, who was an absolute professional. There were no audio issues whatsoever, and he was a fantastic MC—able to set the tone, capture everyone’s attention, and keep the energy going without being over-the-top. Carver’s warm and approachable personality made our family and friends feel welcome, and he was flexible throughout the night, adjusting seamlessly to the flow of events. Thanks to the team, the music and vibe were exactly what we hoped for, and we couldn’t be more grateful! We couldn’t recommend 74 Events and DJ Carver more highly to anyone looking for an organized, talented, and personable DJ team for their special day. Well worth the extremely reasonable price.

nish. His song choices were on point, and he had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Multiple guests told us it was one of the most fun weddings they’d ever been to, and a huge part of that was thanks to him. We found DJ Dre through 74 Events, and working with Gary as our liaison made the whole process seamless. Gary is as professional as they come—super organized, always on top of things, and not afraid to offer helpful suggestions along the way. He’s a straight shooter, which we really appreciated when making decisions. Gary went above and beyond, he even sent us a video on how to hold our mics during our wedding ceremony and speeches, which we really appreciated. If you're looking for a DJ and a team that will truly elevate your wedding and make the planning stress-free, we can't recommend DJ Dre and 74 Events enough!
