74 Events

ces - from there they handled the rest! They even went above and beyond to help us curate some music for our after party. We had so much fun at our wedding! James absolutely nailed the music and it felt like every song was perfectly chosen for us! Many of our guests commented on how great the music was and said it was the first and only wedding DJ they have enjoyed! Highly highly recommend if you're looking for an easy and amazing experience!

an absolute pleasure, and the attention to detail shows he cares. His communication is what you want and need from a vendor. His systems work seamlessly and allows all of your visions for your big day to become a reality. He understands the big moments and makes sure they happen exactly as you wished. Needless to say Gary's extremely knowledgeable of the components that are necessary for all of your guests to talk about how amazing your wedding was for years to come, and that knowledge and his advice allowed us to impress our guest. On top of that he heard our vision and knew exactly what DJ could deliver. James was the absolute best! His preparation for our event was top notch. He was prompt, set up all three sound system locations effortlessly, and when it started raining during his set up (without warning must I add) he quickly adjusted and worked amazing with the venues staff. Again the systems Gary provides communicated to James every single moment and he knew exactly what to do. Our ceremony was perfect with the help of James. The sound quality was perfect, the ability to let our guest feel the emotions attached to our processional, and he nailed our first kiss by starting the music right as the moment happened. Our bridal parties introductions were fun and inviting for our guest. He edited the timing perfectly for our first dance so it did not feel rushed or too long. He just nailed every portion of our wedding. And of course the most important part, the music! James studies your must play list, and knows exactly what to play around it. He had our guest on the dance floor all night, and most importantly he knows how to read the room. He understand what will keep the party going and his depth of music knowledge gets everyone moving. The quality he provides shows in each portion of your wedding. All engaged couples, first congratulations, second do yourself a favor and book the great people at 74 events. You will not regret it!

xt within hours. They took the time to get to know us, our taste in music, and what we wanted for the night. Gary and Con were a dream team! Everyone raved about the music and was out on the dancefloor all night. A+++ highly recommend!

dancing right until the end :). Could not have asked for a better DJ! We got compliments from all of our friends that the music was excellent, and we could not be happier. Thanks Joel and Gary!!

ork with, and I would absolutely recommend 74 Events to all!

thing feel easy and stress-free. I appreciated being matched with DJ James Arnold and he ultimately created the perfect soundtrack for an unforgettable night—our family and friends are still raving about the music! And many had only ever been to weddings with a live band, so they were especially impressed with our DJ experience. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!!

- if this is you too, you've found the right vendor! Gary is the most responsive human you will ever encounter and we had the most seamless process setting up our wish list, do not play list, run of house, mic tutorial, etc. to make sure our wedding day curated an amazing vibe for us and our guests. We had many people come up to us afterwards to compliment the music throughout the ceremony, dinner and reception. Big thank you to Dan for hearing our vision and executing on it perfectly. 10/10 would book again!

veryone was raving all night long about the music and multiple people followed up with us after to say how epic the DJ was. Each song was better than the one before! James and Gary were super responsive, easy to work with, and kind leading up to the wedding. 74 Events made the night so so special for us. Thank you guys!

booked through 74 Events. We asked Jeremy for an epic dance party and that is precisely what he delivered. All the transitions were perfectly timed, he brought a genuinely fun presence, and looked like he was having as much fun as our guests. On top of that, all of our interactions prior to the event were extremely professional and courteous. Thank you to Gary & Jeremy for an epic party that we (and our guests) won’t forget!

. We originally chose James because he DJ’d our friends’ wedding a few years ago, and we danced the entire night and couldn't believe how awesome he was. After that experience, there was no question we wanted him for our own wedding. 74 Events made the planning process seamless and straightforward, and they weren’t hesitant to offer thoughtful recommendations that truly helped our day flow better. One suggestion regarding the transition from the parent dances to opening the dance floor created a magical moment when everyone flooded onto the dance floor, lights were dimmed. and we broke out foam glow sticks. We already trusted their recommendations, but that moment truly solidified their expertise. James made us feel completely comfortable and confident from start to finish. He gave us the dance party of our dreams. The song choices were perfect and kept everyone on the dance floor all night, but most importantly, us. At the end of the night, I actually cried tears of happiness because I was so impressed with and grateful for how everything turned out. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience.

and great to talk to. They were prompt on emails, even when we emailed song requests at the last moment. They gave us great advice on how to hold the microphone during the ceremony and speeches. They did a great job coordinating logistics with our wedding planner with regards to the speakers, microphones, and outlets so that we didn’t have to think about it during the wedding and everyone who spoke was loud and clear. DJ Kahn welcomed all our song suggestions and also had good ideas about when in the evening we should play certain songs. He surprised us with some great tunes and helped curate some very special moments during the night. His mixing and song choices helped liven the space during cocktail hour and dinner and then made the dance floor the place to be! Overall we highly recommend 74 Events as a DJ since they helped make our wedding so special and fun!

Preston, and was communicative throughout the entire way. Both Gary and Preston made sure we were all on the same page and things went smoothly. On the day of, Preston was incredible, his DJing was exactly what we wanted and our guests were so impressed. We asked for a fun dance party and Preston went above and beyond. Overall, we were are so happy we picked 74 events for our wedding and give them our highest recommendation.

songs to get the crowd rocking.The guests were complimenting him all day!! James is so easy to work with and very professional! We highly recommend James Arnold and 74events!! 

nication and knowledge to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Our DJ, Daniel Tipton was a pleasure to work with and ensured that our dance floor was lively the entire night! Daniel was well organized and professional, handling all the audio for the wedding ceremony, as well as the reception (which were located in different locations at the wedding venue). Overall we were extremely happy with the services provided and I highly recommend 74 Events!

we understood what each section meant. That level of transparency is so important to me, and since navigating the wedding vendor selection process can be confusing and stressful at times, it showed right away that this is a trustworthy business that truly cares about its clients. James Arnold was our DJ and he is not only incredibly talented but also just a genuinely cool person. We had quite a few song requests, but we also kept things open ended so he could incorporate tracks he thought would fit the vibe. That worked out perfectly. Our wedding was only 40 people, so I was a bit worried no one would want to dance, but that couldn’t have been further from the case. We danced the entire night and had the best time. Most of all, James and Gary are kind, professional, and very easy to work with, which took so much pressure off the planning process. I didn’t have a wedding planner, so I had a lot to keep track of, but nothing related to music ever slipped through the cracks because they always stayed in touch and followed up when needed. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone.

NCREDIBLE. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night and everyone complimented him!  Duane truly helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams and we couldn’t be happier. 

r a DJ that would be able to provide all the music for our event seamlessly and match the lowkey but very fun vibe we were going for. Jeremy was our DJ and we worked with Gary on planning and logistics. From the very beginning, Gary was great to work with. He’s super organized and very thoughtful. From a planning perspective, 74 Events was definitely our lowest maintenance vendor, in large part because Gary thought of literally everything well in advance! Even when we decided to have a musical performance last minute, both Gary and Jeremy were totally accommodating and made the planning easy. As a DJ, Jeremy was outstanding! Ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner music went off without a hitch, and he managed all announcements and speech intros perfectly. He then proceeded to orchestrate the greatest dance party I have ever been to. Literally every one of our guests was on the dance floor for the majority of the party. He stayed faithful to our requests while managing to consistently play the perfect song to keep the dance floor going, and it was amazing. Both Gary and Jeremy are also just really nice people who are very easy to work with. I cannot recommend 74 Events highly enough!!

going all night — she truly read the crowd and made sure everyone was on the dance floor. She followed all of our requests, respected our “do not play” list, and even surprised us by mixing in a few of our favorite songs in ways we didn’t expect — it was awesome! Gary, who helped us organize everything ahead of time, was also wonderful. He was responsive, professional, and made the entire process so easy. He answered all our questions and made sure we felt completely prepared. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s talented, reliable, and fun to work with, we highly recommend Vida and 74 Events!

approach to staffing for weddings and once we met Preston we knew he was the DJ for us. He took our considerations and created one epic dance party…seriously the dance floor was packed all night. I’ve had multiple guests tell me they’ve never danced that much at a wedding and it was all because of Preston’s ability to curate a vibe and read the room. Highly recommend them for any event!

king our day perfect. James didn’t just play music—he crafted the entire atmosphere. Every transition was seamless, every song choice was spot on, and he read the room perfectly. Our dance floor was packed the entire time—from the first song to the final encore. There was something for every age group. James went above and beyond with every detail, coordinating smoothly and keeping the energy exactly where it needed to be. His timing, sound setup, and vibe were all flawless. It felt effortless, but you could tell it was the work of a true professional who loves what he does. If you want a wedding where people never stop smiling, book 74 Events and James. It was one of the best decisions we made, hands down.

ge of the event. From the ceremony music and seating our guests, to announcing the speeches and dances, it moved seamlessly. Thank you both so much!

lines, expectations, and was hands-on throughout the entire process, making it all feel effortless on our end. The DJ we originally wanted to book was already busy the date of our wedding, but Gary guided us to Jeremy based on his experience with our venue and overall fit for what we were looking for. Meanwhile, Jeremy absolutely crushed it day of. Our dance floor was packed the entire night night — direct quote was “the best wedding dance floor I’ve been on.” He followed our music guidelines perfectly, but still brought his own energy and intuition to the mix. Gary and Jeremy are total pros.

s and smooth transitions and just overall such fun vibes. For days after our guests keep telling us how awesome James was!  Gary was so efficient in organizing us in advance - including everything from music worksheets to mic recommendations to be able to hear speeches effectively - and was always proactive in reaching out to get us ready for the day so we didn't have to worry about a thing on the actual day. We would work with them again in a heartbeat - almost wishing we had another event soon to get back on the dance floor with James at the helm! 

uration. He understood exactly the vibe we were going for and made our night into the dance party we wanted it to be. Not only was it exactly what we were envisioning for our wedding night, but our guests were telling us for days after the wedding how awesome the music was. We highly highly recommend going with 74events and Preston as your DJ!

d to our venue and had such a great energy about him. My husband and I filled out a worksheet with our music preferences and he incorporated it seamlessly into the event. He incorporated our style with crowd pleasers that would get everybody moving. Everyone was raving about the music...we still get compliments well after the event. Really can't recommend them and Justin enough!

t DJ for our wedding (Joel). His music style matched ours perfectly and he kept everyone on the dance floor all night long while respecting all our requests and wishes. Gary and Joel also worked closely with us and 4 of our wedding guests to assist with sound for live performances. We had 2 friends play violin and piano as we walked down the aisle and then 2 different friends sang our first dance live. Gary and Joel assisted with these moments to make sure sound was on point and things were organized. The moments ended up being flawless and everything sounded great. We had the best experience with 74 Events and Joel! 

, and our guests loved the music at the event! We had beautiful weather and an outside space with a view of the NYC skyline - so Navarro had his work cut out for him competing with that - and still the dance floor was always full! It was such a blast, we can’t recommend them enough! 

what we wanted and she captured us perfectly on the day of the wedding - cueing up favorites, playing for both our friends and family while staying true to our vision. Our friends and family said they had never seen a dance floor fill so quickly and then stay so full all night. You can’t go wrong booking 74Events!

e took the time to understand our style, our guests, and the kind of energy we wanted throughout the night — and suggested DJ Preston who completely nailed it. The dance floor was full from start to finish, and Preston read the crowd effortlessly, mixing everything from classics to newer hits in a way that felt seamless. Beyond his talent, Preston was just such a great presence — calm, friendly, and so easy to work with. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how good the music was. If you’re looking for a DJ who truly gets it — someone who can keep the night flowing, read the room, and make your event unforgettable — Preston is your guy. We can’t recommend him or 74 Events enough!

g is stressful, but if you work with Gary and his team at 74 Events, music won’t be one of those stressors. From the start, Gary takes the time to really understand your vision and matches you with the right DJ. We were very particular about what we wanted; ’80s pop and soul, ’90s hip-hop, 2000s and modern hits with specific direction around no line dancing or cookie cutter wedding songs, and a playlist that could bring together a diverse crowd. Gary matched us with Dan, who I can honestly say is the best wedding DJ I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to at least three weddings a year for the past decade. From the consultation, Dan’s enthusiasm and humility stood out. He was dedicated to making the day about us, and his professionalism was unmatched. On the day, Dan was flawless. He collaborated with our officiant to create the most entertaining ceremony I’ve experienced, nailed every transition, and read the room so well that the dance floor was never empty. He also handled emcee duties perfectly, keeping the evening flowing with thoughtful announcements and even adapting on the fly when we needed to add a last-minute speaker. We told Dan personally that he made our night what it was. If you want a reception where the dance floor stays full, book with Gary and Dan. You’ll be thrilled you did. Trust us, he managed to keep everyone dancing all night and keep the bar from getting overcrowded… and we had an open bar.

wanted to bring that energy to our wedding, while still making it fun for older relatives and guests who don't share our music taste. TLDR: we are SO happy we decided to work with 74Events and particularly with Aaron. Gary made the process super easy and helped us navigate all the things you don't think about related to wedding music and logistics. Aaron absolutely crushed the music. He facilitated a multi-generational dance party with lots of oldies and classics and then seamlessly moved into some of our favorites from Caribou, Jamie xx, Fred Again, and Weval. We also appreciated his classy and professional emcee-style: he made announcements throughout the evening to make the night flow seamlessly but wasn't over-the-top or cheesy about it. Highly recommend!

help us achieve it was hugely important to us. Luckily, Gary put us in contact with DJ Ben who quite literally knocked it out of the park. Everything from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception was perfect. Ben and Gary kept in contact with us up to the event and made planning a breeze. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone better, every aspect of the day that involved music or MC duties were handled with care, professionalism, and a keen ear for good music! We could not recommend 74 Events enough and don't forget to ask for Ben! Thank you guys for helping us plan and execute such an unforgettable evening. 

ntire process so simple and fun, and DJ Dan was fantastic on the day of the wedding - we got lot of compliments! We're so happy we hired them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to book them.

ed by most options. They either seemed to have a playbook and style, or did not make us feel like a priority. Then came Gary and DJ Ben from 74 Events. They took the time to understand our vision, were extremely thoughtful and diligent in their planning and ultimately delivered on the day we dreamed of. I would highly recommend them for any event you are thinking of having.

He recommended Dan for our wedding DJ, and we could not have been happier with that match. Both Gary and Dan were punctual, communicative, and just all-around awesome to work with. Dan absolutely nailed the music for our big day. He incorporated all of our requests and seamlessly mixed an incredible playlist that perfectly reflected us as a couple. The energy was unbelievable. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! I can’t say enough good things about Gary and Dan. If you want impeccable service and an unforgettable party, book 74 Events!!

t a finger. But, more importantly, the set list was absolute FIRE and all our guests were constantly praising it! We had a very light touch in compiling it, just giving the mood we wanted, and they took it, ran with it and absolutely nailed it - and at a very reasonable price! 6/5 stars.

g and making sure the process was as easy, and seamless, as possible. Would highly recommend booking 74 Events for an unforgettable wedding!

entire night. We felt like we could trust you and your team from the very beginning. Preston, you did such a fantastic job reading the room and keeping the energy high—we couldn’t have asked for better. So many of our guests have already told us how much fun they had on the dance floor, and that’s thanks to you. You understood the assignment and made my music dreams come true. It was so awesome to learn that you DJ’d my friend Chen and Max wedding as well. You are the best!!!!! To Gary and your team, we truly appreciate your professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. You made the whole process stress-free, and it really showed in how seamless everything felt on the big day. We’re so grateful to have had you as part of our celebration, and we’ll be recommending you to friends and family without hesitation.

mely professional throughout the whole process and put us at ease. From the initial call prior to us hiring them, to the planning call, to the final call to finalize logistics Gary was great. For our DJ we had Dre Ovalle and he CRUSHED it. We were worried people would not be dancing and that was far from the truth. Dre played everything from 90's classics, oldies, EDM, Rap, Pop, etc. and he did a great job making sure that everyone was out on the dance floor. We got so many compliments from that our DJ was awesome and the vibes were great.

, and totally understood the vibe!
