Gatsby Sound & Lighting

n and again if we could! He's extremely affable -- which made working with him a tremendous pleasure. He's also very experienced, so we trusted him to play songs that would get everybody out on the dance floor (and keep them there!). What's more, he offers affordable packages that help fit your budget. We asked for ceremony audio, 5 hours of cocktail and reception music, and a photobooth for guests to take fun pictures as a keepsake. All of these services came out to a really reasonable price! He met all our requests and then some. He kept the music at a healthy volume, which delighted a lot of our older guests. His DJ equipment made for a beautiful setup. The photobooth operator was a real gem, too! If my husband and I host another special occasion in PA and we need Jared, we're giving him a call. That's how much we loved him, and you will too. We can't recommend his services enough.

for and more. We also had the photo booth and our guests all said how helpful she was and how fun she made taking photos. We even took a group shot at the bar and without asking she turned around the photo booth camera and lighting and took extra photos- truly amazing and above and beyond. THANK YOU!!!

he phone and in person. Responded quickly to the few questions we had along the way. We liked that he's the person who will be DJing your event which isn't the case with some others in the area. Jared kept the dance floor packed all night long and all our guests had a blast!! We'd 100% book him again for future events in the area. Our other vendors agreed he's the best in the area.

n hopping the second our guests arrived to the moment the doors closed!! We had guests who hadn’t danced in years hop from their seats to join the fun!! So incredibly luck to of booked him! If you need someone to make your event fun, look no further than Gatsby Sound & Lighting!!!

reception, making it fun for everyone to dance! Highly recommend :)

we were looking for! I could not recommend him enough!! We selected the photo booth and our guests had an absolute blast with it. Thank you for everything!

ked all night long. One of the best in NEPA. Thank you Jared!

g again we will be calling him!

and the vibe we wanted for our event and helped guide us when we were unsure of certain things. Communication was nothing short of amazing and all of the guests loved the music! Jared was also able to provide uplighting and indoor sparklers which added the extra wow factor to take our wedding to a whole new level. We are forever grateful for Jared as he played such a big part in our event being as fun and memorable as it was. If you are in search of a DJ for your event, look no further!

on schedule! He is also great with communication! Jared did not miss a beat (pun intended)! We received so many compliments from guest and even other vendors on how great he was!

o get the crowd on their feet. The app he sends out to answer questions about how our day was going to go & what type of music we wanted was a game changer as well. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!

a app so you have options to up load your favorite songs. He played the best music and out guest are still talking about him . We had so much fun in the photo booth not to mention the amazing up lighting he provided . He was amazing at keeping up our time line to the minute . I would highly recommend him to everyone getting married . Thank you so much 😊 Christina D

NOT Jareds set up is more then we could have imagined. from the moment of our announcement as mr and mrs to the end of our wedding there was not one moment that dance floor was empty. he had every age out there and kept the party alive all night long i would recommend him to everyone i know having a wedding! 10/10!

oices and transitions, Jared did an incredible job at keeping the evening flowing, and never missed an announcement or cue. In our research to find a wedding DJ, we kept finding two types - the one who's incredibly over-the-top and makes themselves the center of attention, and the one who is opposite and clearly uncomfortable speaking into the microphone. Jared is the perfect blend of the two - he has the perfect presence for weddings, being able to pump up the crowd while simultaneously keeping the attention on whatever is happening. Additionally, he is clearly very knowledgeable about his art and technology, as his lighting and sound quality were perfect. We even got to personalize a logo that was projected on the wall! And finally, Jared runs an incredibly professional business. This was immediately shown by how helpful and straight forward his website is, and the rest of the booking and planning process with him was the same. The app he uses for planning the day is absolutely incredible - we were able to pick our music for every single moment of the wedding, add name pronunciations, change the order of events, etc. Oh, and the photobooth was SO much fun too! Jared's wife, Dominique, ran the booth for our wedding, and she was so incredibly nice and helpful. Our guests absolutely loved both the still photos and the GIFs, along with the fact that they got to send them directly to their phones (and I got to see ALL of them). Bottom line, if you want a DJ who keeps your guests dancing, gives you an incredibly customizable experience, and is amazing to work with, hire Gatsby Sound and Lighting!

e ceremony to the reception, everything was flawless. The only complaint we received was that people wished our reception had lasted longer. Jared kept the dance floor packed for the duration of the reception. He also went out of his way to acknowledge those loved ones we have lost each by name. His interactions with us and with the crowd were fantastic. His setup was crisp and complimented our venue and our personalities so well. Very professional, organized, and wonderful to work with. We can not recommend him highly enough!

at night due to some unexpected events and he was go with the flow and no one could even tell the difference. Jared was so flexible! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

spoke he spoke very clearly! He really knew how to read the crowd!! We had a lot of guests tell us he was great, even the ones that didn't make it to the dance floor, they were dancing in their seats! Highly Recommended. Tiffany and Scott

experience super fun, and easy from start to finish!

on entrance with indoor fireworks and the photo booth the day was perfect from start to finish. My guests were up and dancing all night which is exactly what I wanted. He was super receptive and covered many genres of music to accommodate the crowd both old and young. Hands down 10/10 recommend Jared for any special events!

Jared is great at reading the crowd and playing music accordingly. Ourselves and our guests really enjoyed being on the dance floor.

thing was seamless, well organized and looked amazing. The app made it easy to really customize things. The photo booth was fantastic and our guests enjoyed the variety of props and options. The uplighting and actual DJ set up lighting was impressive and leveled up the look. Jared was not only professional but read the room and kept the dance floor going. We are so grateful we chose him to do start to finish music and fun for our big day!!!!

I agree.

nsive and excellent with expectations and communications. We could not have had a better day and he was such an important part of that and we would HIGHLY recommend him!

te bridal party changes due to covid 19 the night before our wedding and he was really understanding doing last minute changes. He also made our flower girls entire night by playing her favorite song 2x! We already started recommending him for friends & family planning their weddings!

day of the wedding, Jared was essential in helping ensure that everything flowed well and he did a great job keeping the crowd engaged and helping us ring in the new year at our NYE wedding.

tiple meetings that he proactively planned for us. Jared was friendly and fun to work with. His planning app was quite helpful to customize songs you want to play and do not play, organize the day, and easily find suggested songs when you were struggling. I was also a fan of his white and gray equipment which was clean and professional. When I first reached out to Jared I explained to him my passion for electronic music, DJ hobby, and that hiring a DJ was something I was nervous about. While Jared was transparent that he doesn't typically play electronic music, he was confident he was the right fit for us. Jared helped make sure there was music for everyone, give us some tips I didn't realize we needed, and when it came to the dance music for the remainder of the night, he sounded great and had all of my friends and family on the dance floor. The experience and vibe with him as a DJ was honestly better than I could have ever imaged. Everyone had such a good time and was singing and dancing all night. I would recommend him to anyone no matter what your music style and would certainly hire him again. Thank you so much Jared!

was super easy to add songs and info about our wedding as we thought of things. About a month out, Jared reached out to set up a meeting to go over our wedding details. He again reached out and confirmed a week out. He was super proactive to make the planning process super easy. He was at our venue and set up well before our cocktail hour. He was super professional the entire wedding and read the vibe of our wedding guests. Everyone loved the music and it was a great time. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family!

ofessionally and knocked it out of the park. He played the exact kind of music we wanted, controlled the flow of the reception perfectly, and took curveballs in stride. He has our highest recommendation.

!!

e were absolutely blown away! Not only was the low-lying fog effect perfect for our first dance "on a cloud", but your indoor fireworks were an amazing addition....and expertly timed. Your transitions were spot on, and kept the night moving along with precision. You felt the room and added the appropriate dance numbers at the most appropriate times. Your sound system was crystal clear, and even last minute additions were handled flawlessly. Thank you for your professionalism and your demeanor. It is widely appreciated that your DJ can make or break your wedding reception....you made our day perfect. Thank you. Scott and Jess 11/13/21

all of his communications with us. The day of the wedding, he worked closely with our reception wedding coordinator, photographers and videographer to adhere to proper timelines and to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was able to choose lighting that matched my wife's theme and decors, also setting the perfect mood for the evening. Hiring his services was one of the best decisions we made for our event, because he made everything simple for us. He also was flexible in terms of changes to the timeline coming up and handled specific requests we had that he was unfamiliar with. I really could not recommend DJ Gatsby (Jared) and the services provided by his company more. I will be personally recommending him to anyone I know who I think could benefit from his service for years to come. On a side note, the photo booth was an awesome feature that I would strongly recommend opting for if any kids are around. Everyone had a blast and he helped make our day perfect! Thanks again Jared! - J&J

running smoothly. We heard from many of guests how great the DJ and the music was, and the photo booth was a hit. The up-lighting and projection also looked awesome.

booth and it was exactly what we wanted and more. People loved the photo booth and the dance floor was hopping right up until the end. He was great to work with and made our wedding go so smoothly. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

work with, my guests are raving about the time they had on the dance floor!

re having too much fun. I could not recommend him enough! The "Dancing on a Cloud" was totally worth it and the uplighting really tied in the venue. Not to mention, we had a popping dance floor all night long - he totally killed it on the turn tables! I couldn't have had a better time and am so grateful that Jared was there for us. Thank you DJ Gatsby!

tting him know what type of music/genres we enjoyed. After the wedding a lot of our guests complimented how he kept everyone dancing with a little bit of every kind of music. One of my favorite memories from my wedding he helped execute. My brother and Jared set up a special dance for us during my bridal dance and I will never forget this!

received countless compliments about how awesome the music was! He kept EVERYONE up and dancing, all night long!! Thank you soo much for making our wedding amazing!!

ryone enjoyed that part as well, lots of fun pictures to last forever.

ighly recommend him as your dj

nt parts. He was very patient with mine and my fiancé’s indecisive-ness! Followed all of our requests! And our dance floor was full all night!! I heard lots of compliments from the guests on our DJ. I would definitely recommend him :)

ire process. He had everyone dancing the entire night and really read the group. So thankful we found him, couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!!!

nt! Everything was so flawless! He is such a well spoken, genuine man who deeply cared about making the night so perfect for us!

nd SO much easier. He went out of his way to check out the venue to ensure his setup would work seamlessly. Night of our wedding, he read the crowd properly and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially those who love 2000s throwbacks.
