Greg was fantastic. His preparation for the event was very thorough to make sure all songs, requests and timeline were organized. He was a great emcee and kept the energy high for the entire event. There were a couple of miscommunications, but he saved the day in the end.

- DJ SwayDJMark, who goes by the stage name DJ Sway, began DJ'ing at Playland Skate Center, where he wanted to create the open format and crowd focused DJ experiences he always craved. He now uses that ability to play all genres for a diverse audience to read the floor and keep guests dancing at weddings and other private parties. He still maintains his residency at Playland Skate Center, and plays frequent gigs on 6th street and local bars In Austin, and has become known for blending genres and creating mashups that keep the energy high.

If I were to describe Greg & the Blue Moon Beats team in one word, it would be FANTASTIC. I cannot underscore this enough - Greg was truly an integral part of making our wedding th...
e best day of our lives! From thoughtful planning to quick communication to flawless execution (music, lighting, photobooth), we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Greg was on point with every song selected - not to mention he’s a wonderful MC.
We came to Greg with a vision for our wedding reception - once the dance floor opened, we wanted our reception to be a real PARTY. We wanted every song to be a “banger.” We wanted everyone on the dancefloor until the lights turned back on. As inspiration, I shared an 11 hour playlist with Greg; the playlist spanned decades of music and covered multiple genres. Greg’s expertise is unparalleled, and somehow he interpreted this messy mind dump of songs and delivered a set list that was beyond anything we could have imagined. And, I want to be clear, this wasn’t a copy / paste job. It didn’t feel like the standard wedding mix. Greg mixed in his magic and developed a curated list of songs that kept our guests on the dancefloor for 3 hours straight. Each song was better than the last. It was amazing!!!
Greg also helped us navigate the music and vibes for the cocktail hour and dinner period. We hadn’t put much consideration into this aspect of planning. We very much appreciated his advice. The music created a welcoming and fun ambiance for us and our guests. I’d also recommend hiring a saxophonist (Greg can source!). We had the sax player during cocktail hour and dinner and our guests loved that touch.
In summary, Greg & team were INCREDIBLE and exceeded expectations across the board 🎷🪩💖

ired us with their DJ Mark, which was a great fit for our wedding. Truthfully, I got more compliments on him than I did on my dress. My guests were constantly asking where we found him and commented on how he didn’t play a single bad song all night.
Mark nailed the music. I gave him a general playlist and vibe, and he was able to add to it and rearrange it; he read the reading the room perfectly and kept the dance floor packed the entire time. Every transition felt intentional, and the energy never dipped.
Beyond the music, This company was incredibly professional and flexible. We had a few last-minute changes to speeches and the order of events, and our DJ handled everything calmly and flawlessly. They also went above and beyond by setting up a sound system for our somewhat unconventional ceremony site, which made everything run smoothly without a hitch.
I highly recommend this company for your wedding DJ!

at communication, organized, knew how to keep everyone dancing all night, always played the right songs at the right time, followed the timeline 100%, and our guests had a blast! My wedding was Mexican/American wedding and all of our guests danced the whole time and enjoyed the wedding thanks to Greg knowing that and him being able to mix my Spanish music and American music for my husband’s guests which I’m so happy he did! He was great at reading the crowd to keep the energy going. The dancing lights and uplights made the reception feel more fun!! The dancing on the clouds for my first dance with my husband was the most romantic thing ever!! I absolutely loved it and even my guests commented on how dancing on the clouds made the dance 100 times more adorable, dreamy and fun. I highly recommend DJ Greg for any event!! If you want a dance floor full of people dancing, singing and happy, go with Greg! Thank you again for making my wedding day unforgettable!! I’ll leave a picture here of my husband and I dancing on our first dance with the dancing on the clouds. 😊 our faces says it all!

h, speakers, lights, and even a photo booth in multiple rooms at the art center where the wedding took place. Greg did wonderfully as an MC to gently move the event along, keeping a good timetable while not imposing himself on the proceedings. When it came time to dance he first gave the floor to the newlyweds for a lively first dance before keeping the attendees on their feet for 3 hours of dancing to crowd pleasers from the 50's to the present. He then promptly disassembled his setup and also helped with cleanup of the rest of the event. Through all this he was a pleasure to interact with and was well worth his relatively modest fee considering his services and gear. I would use him again for any kind of event with no hesitation.

dding! From the moment we began planning, Greg was easy to communicate with and offered excellent guidance. He helped us craft the perfect timeline for the evening and gave us great music suggestions that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for.
The sound and lighting setup were top-tier, with professional-grade equipment that ensured everything looked and sounded amazing throughout the night. As a DJ, Greg did an incredible job reading the crowd and keeping the energy high. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and everyone had an amazing time!
Greg also did a wonderful job as our MC—he was warm, clear, and professional, keeping the night flowing smoothly without ever being overbearing. His seamless transitions and positive energy made the entire event feel polished and fun.
If you’re looking for a DJ and MC who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable, we highly recommend Blue Moon Beats and Greg Gioia. He truly helped create memories that we’ll cherish forever!

was one of our biggest goals - he made sure we succeeded in this!!!!). He not only played songs available on Spotify/Apple Music but also some of our requested remixes (and father/daughter dance song) that were only available on YouTube. He knew how to get the crowd hyped and he also took requests off the cuff during the reception. Thank you so much, Greg. We are so grateful to you for giving us the absolute best dance party of our lives with all of our favorite people!!!!! — Tyler & Emma

To folks who are looking, I got to admit I didn't know most of what he played but seemed like everyone else did. First time I danced since hip replacement.
Hope you know we meant it about our own anniversary hope to see you there as a guest but if you happen to bring your records, we won't mind.

them into a good flow.
He's great with fielding requests and working them into whatever tapestry of sound that the event has required. He has a great personality, too - always pleasant and fun for guests to chat with. His site has playlists from old events, too, which is great to get an idea of what a set could look like.
I've seen him deal with equipment that happened to have issues - he was able to troubleshoot the problem and get everything running smoothly with very little time lost - it was good to know that he can still turn things around if the unexpected happens.
I'd definitely recommend having him DJ an event - I'd love to attend one again soon myself, as it was one heck of a party :)

f-the-art and he actually helped me out with several cables and outputs. Sometimes DJs are very possessive of space in the venue, electrical outlets, etc. But Greg worked with me as the videographer to make sure we could both do our jobs well. His music selection was great and he constantly had the dance floor full and energetic. He picked some great classic songs and a few I hadn't heard before. He also served as the MC for the wedding, announcing itinerary as it happened. He's a fun dude too and always had people smiling when they came over to talk to him. I would definitely recommend Greg as a DJ.

I really lucked out finding Greg so quickly in my hunt for a DJ. I loved being able to see his past playlists on his website - it gave me a good sense of what our big day could loo...
k like, which was essentially, anything we wanted!... as he has such diverse musical taste and knowledge.
He is very organized and I think that was reflected in how everything went off without a hitch, from all of the technical details, working with our videographers, having a separate ceremony and reception area, to managing the detailed time line.
Of course I have to talk about the music too - with a few must have song choices, and a general idea of the type of music we wanted, Greg hit it out of the park. He really kept us dancing, which is the point right? I don't know what else to say about it, except that people will STILL mention how great the music was.
Ultimately, on top of being super knowledgeable about ALL kinds of music, Greg is generous and open-minded, and sincerely tries to understand what his clients want and then goes ahead and delivers on that...and that's what makes him great!
