If you’re looking for a wedding DJ that will keep the night running smoothly and play fantastic music, look no further than Gordon! From the moment we spoke on the phone with him, ...
we knew that he’d be the perfect fit. Beyond being incredibly personable and enthusiastic, he also offered exactly what we were looking for - the perfect blend of DJ services and live music, as well as extensive experience working at our venue. And when the wedding day came, he delivered on all fronts. He showed up early, set up his equipment, and spent the rest of the day making sure we had the best possible soundtrack for our event. His live performances during the ceremony and cocktail hour were beautiful, his MCing was on point, and the music for the dance floor was impeccable! Gordon took our (extremely lengthy) list of songs we’d be interested in playing and turned them into the perfect playlist that ebbed and flowed with the mood of the party. Everyone was on the dance floor for hours, and we all wrapped up the night sweaty and ecstatic!
Throughout our time working with him, Gordon was communicative, professional, and so helpful. Our only disappointment was that we’d already chosen our coordinator when we found him, so we didn’t get the chance to work with Tarah as well.
Do yourself a favor and hire this DJ!!
I can't say enough great things about Tarrah and Gordon! If you're looking for a coordinator, a DJ, or both, do yourself a favor and hire them. It is so important that your coordin...
ator and DJ work together seamlessly to keep the day and night running smoothly, and they absolutely nailed it.
Gordon is incredible! After just one conversation with him, we knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He is upbeat, personable, and truly knows how to read a crowd. One of my biggest worries was that the dance floor would die down and people would start leaving early, but Gordon made sure that never happened. He paid close attention to the energy throughout the night, adjusting the music to keep everyone engaged. He started with songs the older crowd loved and then transitioned into more upbeat party music later in the evening, complete with fun lighting that completely transformed the atmosphere. We had a packed dance floor until the very end, exactly how I had always imagined it.
Tarrah is an amazing coordinator. Even though we hired her as our "day-of" coordinator, she went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. We booked her many months in advance, and she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. Every single one of our vendors commented on how impressed they were with her organization, communication, and attention to detail. They all mentioned how well she kept everyone informed and provided detailed timelines and information, and we saw that firsthand with the incredibly organized planning documents she created for us.
On the wedding day, Tarrah made everything feel effortless. She handled all of the setup, kept everything on schedule, checked in with me throughout the day, and somehow still found time to answer the billion questions from my mom and grandma! One of my favorite moments was when she had appetizers waiting for us while we signed our marriage license. I also have dietary restrictions, and she even made sure I had my own special dinner. Those little touches meant so much and showed how much she genuinely cares about her couples.
I truly cannot thank Tarrah and Gordon enough for making our wedding day so smooth, stress-free, and special. They helped bring my dream wedding to life, and I wouldn't change a thing. If you're looking for a coordinator, a DJ, or both, you will not be disappointed. They are worth every penny, and I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.
Gordon and Tarah are THE BEST! Working with Gordon was so fun and he is truly one of the best people you'll ever meet. I takes great pride and consideration to each client. I felt ...
so confident in our choice of DJ after speaking with Gordon, and that was confirmed on our wedding day. He is so talented with both live music and DJ abilities. While we did not use Tarah's services, she was present and was a huge help with keeping things moving. I could not recommend this pair more!
Gordon and Tarah are THE ultimate dream team!! From my first conversation with Gordon, I just felt at ease! His personality and communication is incredible, and he truly is great a...
t what he does. Not only is he a phenomenal DJ who made our wedding night go off without a hitch and who read the room and played songs that hit all night long, but he’s an amazing musician/artist as well! For our ceremony, we had Gordon play the acoustic guitar - it was beautiful! And then we transitioned to him DJing the cocktail hour and throughout the remainder of the night. I am SO glad we went with Gordon, he was a major key player in making our wedding day perfect and he delivered on all fronts.
And speaking of key players who delivered, let’s talk now about his amazing wife, Tarah!! Tarah was our Day of Coordinator and she did a phenomenal job! Although we had a bajillion decorations and things to set up, she was able to get everything put together beautifully and made the entire day flow seamlessly without a hitch. Tarah and Gordon work together so well, and I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone seeking the ultimate DJ/DoC dream team!! They are truly the sweetest people and Shai and I are eternally grateful for everything they did for us to make our wedding day perfect. Thank you so so much, Tarah and Gordon! <3 Kaitlin & Shai Fullmer
Wow, I could not have asked for a better duo to take care of our daughter’s wedding than Gordon and Tarah!!! They worked with crazy weather conditions and stayed on top of everythi...
ng we asked for. The sound system for the outdoor ceremony was outstanding. The music during the hors d’oeuvres was lovely and just perfect during the reception-everyone had their dancing shoes on!!! Everything was so organized and I didn’t need to worry about a thing the entire night. Thank you so much!!!
We had Gordon play live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour and dj the reception. Very convenient to have one person who is able to do both. We went with the package that i...
ncluded his wife, Tarah, as the day of coordinator. They were both so helpful through the whole process and very responsive whenever we had questions. Both had great energy and helped our big day go smoothly. Gordon was great at reading the room and adjusting the music to how the dance floor was responding.
We were so lucky to have Gordon (and Tarah) as our music and entertainment vendor for our wedding in Buena Vista. From the moment we met Gordon, we were drawn to his enthusiasm and...
excited energy. We knew immediately we’d be happy working with him. Gordon took a lot of time to carefully plan with us so he had a very clear understanding of what we wanted out of our wedding day, and how the music contributed to the overall vibe. He did an amazing job accounting for our windy ceremony site to ensure the sound was perfect, our cocktail hour was a perfect mix of some of our favorite artists and tracks and our reception was so fun! Gordon did a great job easing into the evening and ramping up the music as the dance party kicked off. We would absolutely recommend Gordon if you are looking for a professional, enthusiastic and easy to work with music vendor really committed to making your day special.
We loved having Gordon (and his wife) as our DJ/MC/music vendor at our A-Basin wedding! We particularly appreciated how thorough Gordon was with the pre-wedding questionnaires and ...
phone call. And it was nice that we could have a mixture of live and pre-recorded music. Gordon kept the wedding moving along and on schedule. He also was able to keep the dance floor packed the entire time – something many guests were impressed by and enjoyed! Highly recommend. Thank you, Gordon, for helping make our wedding so awesome!
We hired Gordon and Tarah for our 09.02.22 wedding in Morrsion! Throughout the whole process they were both amazing and easy to work with. Anytime I emailed them they got back to m...
e right away. Tarah handled everything with ease and made my day stress free. She helped set up all my decorations and even cleaned up the bridal suite after the wedding. Gordon remembered all the songs we wanted and he didn't miss a beat! He got the whole wedding on the dance floor and made the night so much fun!! I highly recommend Gordon and Tarah and connot say enough good things!
Gordon and Tarah were a large part of making our day perfect! Tarah set everything up and kept our day flowing so smoothly! It was so nice to get to enjoy the day instead of stress...
ing over anything! Gordon's music was excellent from playing guitar at our ceremony and cocktail hour,announcing events, and keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole night!! They truly were the best and we're so glad that they were part of our day!
Gordon and Tarah were a phenomenal duo for our wedding. They are extremely thorough with their consultation to get a good grasp of how we wanted our day to go and they executed to ...
perfection. We initially weren't sure if we needed a day of coordinator, but we are so happy Tarah was there to take all the stress out of all the things that go into making a wedding happen. We can't say enough positive things about her.
Gordon was a hit! It was wonderful having live music during our ceremony. Guests loved his acoustic talents during Cocktail Hour and he absolutely crushed it on our first dance song. We requested a song he had to learn (and not an easy one at that) and he hit a home run. The music he played for the reception was right in line with what we wanted and he kept the dance floor hopping all night.
We appreciate them making our day so special!
Gordon and Tarah are a great team, and they made our special day go so smoothly. They do a great job of planning with the bride and groom ahead of time, which led to a very enjoyab...
le and special day for us.
Gordon was wonderful! We loved working with him and would recommend him to any wedding party!
I would absolutely recommend Gordon Avenue! He and his wife helped put all my anxieties at ease and helped make our wedding day perfect. We are so thankful!
Without a doubt, we recommend Gordon Avenue! A true professional the whole way. His enthusiasm for his craft is contagious.

ied our vocalist during the ceremony, played acoustic for happy hour and prior to the ceremony, then MC'd around dinner and DJ'd for the dancing. Our guests all had a blast!
Tarah and Gordon and amazing. They made our wedding day stress free and flawless. Tottaly recommend pairing their DJ services along with their event coordinating services. Thank...
you so much you two!
We absolutely loved working with Gordon and would definitely recommend him!
We had several calls leading up to the wedding to plan out everything in detail and he was extremely ...
prepared to ask all the right questions. He showed up very early the day of so that he could learn the layout of the space and get set up with plenty of time to spare. When our personal friend that was playing acoustic guitar for the ceremony backed out last minute, Gordon didn't hesitate to step up and play for us and already knew all of the songs!
We built a super fun playlist together that seamlessly moved the crowd from Cocktail Hour to Dinner to Dancing. Gordon did a great job of MCing and introducing our bridal party, announcing speeches, dances, etc, and kept people on the dance floor all night long! We can't thank him enough for such an incredible night, the best of our lives! :)
Gordon and his wife Tarah were so amazing and really made our day special. They were very easy to work with and made a great team to have on our side on the big day. They're worth ...
their weight in gold, and I'll be recommending them for years to come! Thanks so much for making our special day extra memorable.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Gordon for our wedding. Cocktail hour was amazing; the live music he provided was phenomenal. Gordon also acted as our DJ after cocktail ...
hour and we were blown away. We had some specific requests regarding our first dance and he exceeded our expectations. Gordon played every song that we had requested & the songs we didn't request fit perfectly with our taste! Our guests were even talking about him the next day & telling us how amazing he was. Would definitely use him again for a future event!
Gordon was the perfect choice for music on our wedding day! He has an amazing voice and takes care of everything during the ceremony and reception. He accommodated all of our chang...
es due to COVID and is literally the nicest guy! We also hired Tarah for our month-of wedding coordination needs and that was also one of the best decisions. She was so organized, took care of all communication leading up to the day and on the day of. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Thank you both SO much!
Gordon is an extremely outgoing and accommodating vendor. He had worked with our venue, the surf hotel, extensively. This added ease to our day.
Graham and I have a complex family...
with a variety of tastes and we opted for a no song request reception. Gordon executed this flawlessly.
We got to hear so many of our favorites. The only error is that our grand entrance was the wrong song, but honestly, who cares at that point in the night. The fact we had a wedding party switch up last minute and he remembered definitely makes up for it.
Overall, Gordon was kind, timely, and easy to work with.
We 100% would recommend using Gordon and Tarah!! Tarah did such an amazing job at making sure everything went smoothly for our big day - she really went above and beyond being avai...
lable to us and being well organized. Gordon's live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour was such a hit and really elevated the experience! He is a great musician and singer. He also played a great mix of music during dancing that kept the vibe lively and fun. Gordon and Tarah make an excellent team and hiring both of them was a huge reason that our wedding was such a success. Thank you Gordon and Tarah!
