Loved Dj G! My husband and I were so impressed with how great Gary is! There was never a moment where the reception felt quiet or awkward, which was something that I was scared of ...
as a bride. Dj G kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the night. My guests also loved him and they loved that they could request songs all night. Thank you so much!!
I cannot say enough good things about DJ Gary!! We’ve used him twice for our Sweetheart Daddy/Daughter Dance at the elementary school. This upcoming year will be his third. One yea...
r I didn’t check his availability in time and he was booked up. Grab him as soon as you can!
He arrives early with an amazing setup - projector, great control tower, floor lights etc. The whole vibe is immersive and exciting. He plays fun songs, nostalgic songs, viral songs (Rasputin! lol). All safe and appropriate while still being a blast (aka not babyish, too dated, or kids-bop only). The girls didn’t stop dancing and singing all night! Even better Gary made it easy for the dads to be great sports, and he had the girls recognize and thank their dads ❤️ Some of his videos help teach/lead dances or sing-a-longs. He isn’t just a DJ shuffling a playlist on an iPad, anyone can do that. Gary is an emcee who truly brings the party, ensuring it is a fun, interactive experience for everyone. Best of all, he’s fantastic to work with. He’s responsive, polite, dependable, and reasonably priced. I feel like we hit a gold mine when we found him!!! I blurred faces in the photo for privacy
DJ G was the perfect DJ for our son’s wedding! He was communicative and professional throughout the process. He was flexible, able to work with our provided song list but also able...
to improvise a bit when our bride and groom struggled to come up with the suggested number of songs on the play list and were comfortable trusting him with a few suggestions. He kept things running smoothly and according to schedule and willingly announced additional details we requested throughout the evening. He offered the right amount of enthusiasm to encourage participation without being overbearing about it. He has a very pleasant demeanor helping everyone to feel comfortable and have fun throughout the night. We are really grateful we could use have him as our DJ! It was a wonderful celebration and he was a critical piece!
DJ G was an AMAZING DJ! He had perfect timing to everything, read the crowd very well! He was very good at communicating with us! Our wedding was 100 time better because of him! Wo...

DJ G is hands down THE BEST DJ around! Punctual, professional, well-prepared, kept the event running smoothly and on time - what else can I say … he was amazing
10 out of 10 would HIGHLY recommend!! He was not only a dj but also was like a wedding planner! He kept us on track, announced each event, gave us lots of options, kept the dance f...
loor hoppin, everyone from our young nieces and nephews to our grandparents LOVED him! The process was so smooth, his equipment is very high tech and battery operated so we didn’t have to run extension cords or anything! We will ALWAYS use him for our events going forward! Thank you DJ G for making our night magical!

Best DJ Ever!
We selected DJ G for our daughter’s wedding reception. It was the best rocking party of our life! The music volume, selection, progression, and timing throughout w...
as perfect. Our daughter and her friends love to dance and were in heaven. Many of our guests told us how much fun they had and how impressed they were with the program.
DJ G was also an excellent MC and wedding program planner. He met with the bride and groom several weeks before and patiently worked through a plan for the evening. He was then also ultra flexible that night, especially as there were delays with the food and reception line. He adjusted seamlessly on the fly and finished within the venue’s allotted time without making us feel rushed, which was amazing. He also sensed a need to pull people in at different events (photographer for cake cutting, etc.) and jumped in to keep things moving, which was super appreciated!
He coordinated directly with the venue on where to set up, what he needed, and to adjust venue lighting as needed. All the equipment worked (incl wireless mics and lights) and sounded great and was set up on time and taken down on time. Gary was there to greet us when we arrived and kept in touch as needed throughout the program to make sure we were happy with what was happening.
We are so grateful to Gary for all he did to make this one of the greatest days of our life. We would love for him to DJ another event in the future and recommend him to anyone that loves a good DJ. DJ G is the BEST!!
DJ G did such an amazing job for our wedding! He met with us twice before the wedding and talked through the entire day. I felt very comfortable going into the day knowing that he ...
knew exactly what would be going on all night. He kept us to schedule and kept things moving in a great manner. He led the line dances which myself and my guests were very thankful for. His equipment is also VERY good quality. I was nervous that there might be an echo during my speech, but there was absolutely no echo or feedback. He also provided strobe lights and microphones for both the ceremony and reception for no additional cost.
Highly recommend! Thank you for making our day so special! I felt like a guest at my own wedding :)
DJ G did a wonderful job!! We actually changed the date of the wedding because he was not available on the day we wanted him. He is very professional and keeps the party going! Tha...

s and line dances. His responsiveness to our communications was impressively quick, and he showed remarkable flexibility and resourcefulness in accommodating even our last-minute requests. He read the crowd very well during the reception and kept our guests on the dance floor throughout the evening. Gary was also very flexible with adjusting the timeline as we took a bit longer time for the pictures and bustling the dress. Highly recommend DJ G to anyone in need of a skilled, responsive, and fun DJ. Thank you so much, Gary!

Gary was such a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly organized with his timeline and pre-wedding questionnaire, so we were never worried about forgetting anything. He was very ...
quick and clear when communicating, and he was happy to accommodate our special requests for the evening. He was a fantastic MC keeping the energy high, mixing music, and leading games throughout the night. Additionally, his entire setup was very professional, and he even saved our audio mixing when my wife forgot to pick up her microphone for vows! Gary was a great DJ, and we highly recommend him to anyone else planning a wedding!

e needed last minute. His balance of enthusiasm and leadership make for a wonderful event. When it was time to dance, he would make us dance. When it was time to cry (bride walking down the aisle), he would prepare the environment for the moment. Highly recommended for any event.
