Gold Standard Entertainment was kind and friendly during our wedding planning process, always happy to hop on the phone and talk through what we wanted. They gave us a great rate o...
n a DJ and photo booth package, and our guests were out on the dance floor all night and had a great time taking photos at the photo booth. That said, there were several moments at our wedding reception when the team diverged from the plan we had discussed in advance or when we had to clarify something during the reception itself. At the times when we were able to ask them to adjust, they were responsive.
Kyle & Jonathan absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Kyle was our DJ and his set up was perfect for an event of our size and he came equipped with everything we needed considering...
our ceremony was a long distance away from our actual party. He knew when to switch gears to get the vibes going and made a lot of fun announcements. Jonathan handled the Photo Booth which was a huge hit and he did a great job at getting people in the spirit. 10/10 experience would highly recommend!!
We had the most amazing time, and it was all because of Gold Standard Entertainment! Professional, and so easy to work with! Kyle brought the energy to the dance floor, and played ...
everything we asked for! He was awesome on the microphone as well! We highly recommend Gold Standard Entertainment!! Thank you Kyle!
We just celebrated our wedding, and Gold Standard Entertainment did such an amazing job! Everything was perfect, and everyone was on the dance floor all night! Kyle was amazing, an...
d checked in with us many times to make sure everything was meeting our standards, and that really stood out to us, because we can tell he really cared about making sure that we were having the best time! We will definitely be recommending, and booking Gold Standard Entertainment again!
Just had my wedding this past weekend at The Mansion and Kyle was absolutely phenomenal! He knew how to approach the intros, dances and speeches to perfection and the night flowed ...
extremely well after that. The dance floor always had a group of people on there and he played the songs we requested! Including our final song that had all 200 people dancing together! We wanted the night to be centered around the dance floor and it did not disappoint. Would absolutely recommend!
My wife and I booked Gold Standard Entertainment at the suggestion of a friend, and we are beyond grateful we listened to her! When I say Kyle crushed it, I'm not joking! He had th...
e dance floor packed all night. We had such an amazing time that we asked Kyle to play beyond the originally agreed upon end time, and he did for another hour, and even then we could have kept going! Gold Standard Entertainment was epic, and we will always recommend them to anyone! Thank you Kyle!
My fiancé and I just booked Kyle for our wedding next year and we are so excited! He has been so helpful through the planning process and is super down to earth. He always makes ti...
me for a phone call and explains everything thoroughly. He is super flexible to ensure that everything is perfect for our big day. Can’t wait to hit the dance floor!
What a wonderful day! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding! Gold Standard Entertainment delivered on everything that we wanted, and more! Our wedding was amazing from beginn...
ing to end, and we credit most of that to Kyle and his team. One thing I really loved was that Kyle made the planning process very easy, and he answered anything that we asked as soon as we asked it. He is a great dj and we strongly recommend Gold Standard Entertainment. We will definitely be using them again for other events of ours! Thank you for giving us the wedding that we always envisioned!
If you want a world class experience and to dance all night, Kyle is your guy. Almost a month after our wedding and we still have friends and family commenting how they’ve never ex...
perienced a wedding where people were on the dance floor for the entire night. The atmosphere was incredible.
Kyle is easy to communicate with, enthusiastic, and has your best interests in mind.
We’d recommend him for any event you may have. He knows how to control the room and make it a fun experience for everyone.
We can’t thank you enough Kyle!
Thomas and Mike (the MC) had our guests on the floor ALL NIGHT LONG. Thomas, our guests, and the venue all said they had never seen so many people on the dance floor at an event be...
fore! Whether it was true or not, we had the most epic time and that floor was packed. Kyle was originally supposed to DJ before a conflict of schedule about a month prior, but he solved that issue before it even became an issue, as he immediately sent Thomas our way! Would definitely recommend GSE again!
I was a guest at my friend’s wedding and Kyle really threw it down! He kept the crowd hyped and played all my favorite genres of music! He has a great ear and if I wasn’t already...
married already, I would of for sure used him and the whole GSE team! Thanks for an unforgettable night!
One of the best weddings I’ve ever been to dj Thomas was amazing. The flow of the music got everyone out on the dance floor having a great time. Outstanding performance you can...
tell dj Thomas gave it his all to make the wedding a success and was very professional. Thank you for making this a great a wedding.
Kyle did a perfect job at our wedding! He was easy to communicate with and did everything we asked for! His style was perfect and he made sure all of our guests had a good time. Se...
veral of our guests explicitly mentioned how good our DJ was and he put it all together in a matter of weeks as we were quite behind. Highly recommend!
Kyle was an unbelievable DJ throughout the entirety of the wedding. We were married at Lake Mohawk Country Club and Kyle was able to set up his equipment to give us music for our ...
ceremony, our cocktail hour, and our wedding which were all over n slightly different areas. His music and MC were spot on and kept the energy going all night long. We were happy that we decided to have Kyle set up a photobooth for us as well as it saved us on another standalone vendor. We would highly suggest the dancing on the clouds option; the first dance my wife and I practiced was ruined by her dress and the fog machine was just enough to hide our quick fix to the dance. Excellent DJ, would highly recommend.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the services of Gold Standard Entertainment. Kyle is very talented at what he does, and we definitely will be hiring him again; for future events. ...
He was our DJ and MC, and he had the dance floor crowded all evening. I want to also use this review, to thank Kyle for being prompt in his response time to any questions that we had, and we did have quite a few. He answered all of them, and was very helpful in calming our nerves. Kyle is a consummate professional, in every sense of the word. Thank you for an amazing time!
Kyle did such an amazing job DJing our wedding! He was SO responsive during the planning process, which was a breath of fresh air after not being able to get a call back from some ...
other vendors! The music was absolutely perfect from our ceremony, to the cocktail hour and the reception. Our engaged couples at the reception kept saying they wanted to know who our DJ was because he was so good! Thank you so much Kyle!
My husband and I had such an amazing wedding day, thanks to Gold Standard Entertainment! We originally only requested the photo booth, because we had another DJ already set for our...
wedding, but the more we thought about it; we eventually decided that we felt more comfortable with Gold Standard Entertainment, and we decided to change direction. I'm really glad that we did, because they kept our guests dancing all night. Kyle played all styles of music so smoothly, and that was so great for keeping everyone dancing because they didn't know what was coming next. We asked for a mix of oldies and some modern day music for our younger guests, and Kyle played them together so well! I loved working with Gold Standard Ent. for my wedding, and I really wish we were having another party soon because we really did love the work they did! Thank you for everything guys!
Our wedding would not have been as amazing as it turned out to be, without Gold Standard Entertainment. Kyle was our DJ and MC, and he was so good!! REALLY GOOD! Our family and fri...
ends danced the entire time, and during our after party we received so many compliments about Kyle’s performance. Thank you for the best night ever!
Well, I have to say the music and the photo booth were a hit! It was great to see the dance floor and photo booth always active. Everyone keeps saying how much fun they had. Kyle ...
did a fantastic job and everyone had a great time. Thanks so much!
Hands down the best night ever! Gold Standard Entertainment was top notch with the music, and Kyle also did a great job as the MC with our names, and hyping everyone up during the ...
celebration. We did stress that we wanted a combination of house music and older hip hop played for our friends, and we also had to have older music played for our parents and grand parents in attendance. Kyle did such a good job playing everything, and the best part was that everyone danced all night, and nobody left before the night ended! Gold Standard Entertainment is amazing and we have already booked them for another party that we are having this year!
Kyle was hired to be the DJ at my wedding back in August. Kyle was amazing and followed all our requests for songs to a T. He played a great variety of music which was perfect for ...
all my guest too enjoy. He also made sure to have all our pictures on the TV for guest to be able to see. We also got our photo booth from Kyle and our guest really had a lot of fun there. If you want to be sure to have a great wedding with the best music you need to hire Kyle!
Kyle was awesome! I was at a wedding a few weeks ago and the entire evening was perfect. From the moment the first song played until the last dance the room was energetic! Great jo...
b. I just hired him for my wedding. Can't wait! I highly recommend Kyle and Gold Standard Entertainment..
Went to a wedding 3 weeks ago and Kyle did an amazing job! Kept everyone dancing all night . I just booked him for my wedding . Would definitely recommend !
Gold Standard Entertainment is the BEST. I was lucky enough to have both Kyle and Tom come to DJ my wedding. We needed music played during guest arrival, specific songs during the ...
ceremony, along with reception introductions and keeping people on the dancefloor all night and GSE delivered!
Leading up to the wedding Kyle and Tom made it extremely stress-free. They worked with me throughout the planning process, answered my ridiculous questions and handled all my requests. At no point did I ever feel like they couldn't handle what I was asking for. My venue, being a darker ballroom needed uplighting and they made it look amazing!
The day of the wedding was exactly as I imagined. They set up immediately, hit all the cues with our ceremony, and then we never left the dancefloor once the reception began! Everyone keeps saying what a fun variety was played during our wedding reception. Everyone from my husband's grandmother to ur 2 year old nephew was dancing the night away. Thank you GSE's Kyle and Tom for making our day the BEST!
Just attended a wedding where GSE was the entertainment. He knew how to keep the guests dancing and played the music music for the crowd. We even hired him for our wedding!
Highly recommend GSE! Kyle was great. Before my wedding, I reached out to him multiple times to discuss the wedding details, timelines and for guidance. He provided music for the c...
eremony, reception and photobooth. I cannot thank him enough. He kept people on the dancefloor and everyone had an amazing time! FIVE STARS*****
Kyle did an incredible job with the music and photo booth! Worked with us weeks before our wedding and on the big day itself. Definitely knew how to work the crowd and keep thing...
s flowing from dinner to dancing. Highly highly recommend!!!
WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! We had such an amazing wedding, and everyone was dancing the entire evening, which is exactly what we wanted, after we were forced to change our date 3 tim...
es, because of the pandemic. Gold Standard Entertainment made everything so easy for us! Kyle so accommodating with us, and he made sure to check in with us multiple times during our wedding, so everything was perfect. We will always be recommending Gold Standard Entertainment!
We can’t say enough amazing things about experience with Gold Standard Entertainment! They were so patient with us, and our needs to reschedule multiple times due to the pandemic....
Our wedding was so much fun, and it’s all because of the music and how Kyle mixed it all together! I didn’t expect my guests to be dancing all the time, but Kyle was so good that my guests never seemed to be sitting down (even during dinner)! We also got their photo booth option, and their staff was so friendly, and professional. It was a great addition! We’re so happy with everything and will definitely be referring Gold Standard Entertainment to our family and friends!
My wife and I booked GSE over 2 years ago, but due to the pandemic, everything was pushed back, and pushed back 4 TIMES.
It was entirely worth the wait though! Don’t tell my wife...
lol. Jokes aside, Gold Standard Entertainment was incredible when we finally did get to celebrate. Every song we requested was played, and at the best moments of the party too! Kyle was our DJ and he also did the MC portion as well, and he was great in both roles!
Kyle stuck with us throughout the entire process, and always put us at ease; even when it felt like everything else was crazy.
Thank you for making this day exactly what we wanted, and more!
Gold standard entertainment made our wedding night entertainment better than we hoped for! Kyle did an amazing job of keeping the dance floor busy and everyone having a great time!...
Very helpful in the planning process as well. Would absolutely recommend his services!
Kyle was the DJ for my friends wedding this past weekend & once the music started the dance floor was packed! He is truly amazing at what he does and knows how to keep everyone dan...
cing the entire time! I can’t wait for Gold Standard Entertainment to DJ my wedding in November! Highly recommend!!!!
My fiancé and I were at a wedding that Gold Standard Entertainment did, just over 3 weeks ago, and it was so much fun! These guys rocked the dance floor from the first song of the ...
night, literally until the end of the last song, and they were great at working the crowd too! So much fun! My fiancé and I are going to be booking with them, no questions asked! BOOK THEM, THEY'RE AMAZING! We can't wait for our wedding!
Gold standard entertainment truly made our wedding experience a night to never forget. Kyle was our DJ and there was nothing but positive things to say about him. He really catered...
to us before and during the wedding to make sure our wedding playlist was exactly what we wanted. Our guests could not stop dancing to the beats and slow dancing to those slow melodies. He set up a photo booth and dancing with the clouds which our guests loved. 5 star service from start to finish! Thanks Kyle and gold standard!
Kyle is a fantastic person to work with especially during this pandemic. He has been so patient and so accommodating considering we had to move our wedding date 3 times thanks to c...
ovid. My fiance and I love his enthusiasm and professionalism. We can't wait to hear him and the music finally on our wedding day!! He is simply the best like the song says!
Kyle and Gold Standard Entertainment made our day very special. He and his crew were very professional and kept the party going all night for us. They really showed why they have w...
on multiple awards on here already. They really did a hell of a job. We cannot thank them enough.
Absolute 5 star service for Gold Standard Entertainment. And that's because even during the midst of pandemic, DJ Kyle and his team paid attention to EVERY little detail for our g...
uests. From competitive pricing to creating music list, he listened and cared about our night as if this was his wedding night. We had so many needs/requests for Kyle especially because of the pandemic but at the end of the day, we could't be more satisfied. Matter of fact, I'd be more than happy to recommend Gold Standard Entertainment for anyone who is looking for a great value. Keep up the good work, Kyle!💯👍
Kyle and his team are great! We had our wedding recently and everyone had so much fun. Once the music started playing everyone was up and dancing the entire time! They extremely fl...
exible, fun, and just a generally great time. I still have people coming and talking to me about how fun the DJ was, and how much they liked the choices. Couldn’t have asked for more from our dj and will be recommending them to everyone who needs one.
Kyle was AMAZING with rescheduling. We had to reschedule our wedding because of Covid-19, and Kyle was more than willing to speak with us and was VERY easy going. He offers outstan...
ding 5 star customer service especially during a stressful time like right now, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we are working with him. You will not be disappointed, WORK WITH HIM!! you won’t regret it!!
Seriously having Dj Thomas apart of our big day was one of the BEST decisions we could have ever made. They kept all of our guests on the dance floor from the beginning to the very...
end.. no one wanted to leave !!! Im Hispanic and my now husband is white so i was really looking for a DJ that would cater to both cultures and they exceeded expectations. They definitely have a client for life in me and i recommend them for ANY event. Thank your Gold standard Ent for making the best day of my life even better!!!
Thomas was amazing everyone can't stop talking about how amazing he was. If I ever had an event I would absolutely hire Gold standard again. They made the night truly the best nigh...
t ever! They are so easy to work with and whatever details I couldn't figure out Thomas worked with me in order to make sure the night was perfect!
From the first meeting we had with Kyle to the day of our wedding, He made everything so easy! Gold Standard Entertainment was recommended to us by our venue and coordinator, so we...
had high expectations, and he certainly lived up to the hype! So many of our guests commented that Kyle was the best DJ they had ever seen at a wedding, and I would totally agree! Kyle was always friendly, funny, and made us feel like we were his #1 priority during all phases of planning. He certainly helped make our wedding day the best day ever!! I would absolutely recommend DJ Kyle to anyone!!
Where do I even begin? From the very beginning Kyle was incredible. Knowledgeable, helpful, up front and fair. He helped to make our wedding night the best night of our lives. Whe...
n leaving weddings, people always remember the music - we wouldn’t have trusted anyone but Kyle with this. We have had people of every age group reach out to tell us what an amazing job our DJ did at “varying the music to keep everyone happy” while still playing majority of our favorite types of music. The uplighting package made the dance floor and all the photos look phenomenal- and the “Dancing on the Clouds” was the perfect addition to make our first dance so special and stand out. Worth every penny! We would hire Kyle for any and every event we have and HIGHLY recommend him. All thanks to Kyle for giving us an unforgettable wedding! A+++
Kyle DJ’ed our wedding on December 7th & we couldn’t be happier with the how the night went. Starting out LAST December when we reached out to check for availability, Kyle was righ...
t by our side helping to plan for the big day. Knowing that I was a huge fan of house & mixed tunes… Kyle kept me up to date with all of his new 2019 mixes. The anticipation continued to grow throughout the year.
The day of, Kyle was extremely professional and pleasant. He truly enjoys his job & it really makes a difference. From right after the introductions & special dances up until 10:00, the dance floor was PACKED. Our favorite part of the night was how he remembered that my husband is part Lebanese and he was able to play a Dabke. It was so awesome. I am a professional caterer and small business owner & in all of my weddings that I have catered, I have never experienced a DJ like Gold Standard.
We would recommend over and over Kyle & Gold Standard Entertainment to anyone looking to have a good time. No other DJ would compare.
Kyle DJ'd my wedding at Bear Brook Valley - he was amazing. We hired a band as well, but wanted a reliable, charismatic DJ to start off the reception and get the party started - wh...
ich he definitely delivered. Although it was pretty last minute (2 months out) he was so responsive and helpful in such a stressful point in wedding planning. When I asked him to reach out to the band so that they could coordinate together - he didn't even hesitate. Kyle took care of the music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, MC'd the beginning of the reception and the first half of the reception. He got everyone pumped up during entrances, brought everyone down during first dances and got everyone up on the dance floor for the first dance break. I can't say enough about Kyle - his professionalism, charisma & energy made our wedding day perfect. We can't thank him enough!
Kyle and family was by far the best choice of entertainment I could have chosen. Between his amazing DJ services and his family working the photo booth, this family is truly incred...
ible!! Kyle was super responsive with any questions I had and made the planning process a breeze. He made sure to supply music to have everyone dancing and even let my bridesmaids serenade everyone as a surprise! Both Kyle and his family were the peak of professionalism and I will not hesitate to hire them for future events!! Thank you for helping create such a memorable night!!
I went to high school with Kyle so choosing his company was a no brained for our wedding. He was unavailable which made me nervous but once we met Thomas, we had zero worries. Thom...
as was easy to communicate with leading up to the day of our wedding. He completely matched our vibe, 90’s-2000’s r&b & hiphop. He made suggestions for entrance songs and the dance floor was full all night. He exceeded mine & my husband’s expectations.
I don't think you could book anyone better. Kyle did a great job as DJ. The music was perfect for our wedding! Kyle sent us a thoughtful questionnaire about what music we wanted. A...
s helpful as I'm sure it was for him, it was a great tool for us as well. It really helped us nail down what we did and didn't want to hear on our wedding day. This music he played was really a great mix that appealed to all of our guests old and young. At one point my niece came up to me on the dance floor and told me she felt like she was at the end of a movie because everyone was having fun and dancing. Kyle was great to work with. He listened to what we wanted and made suggestions of his own as well. He also worked great with everyone at our venue to make the wedding run as smoothly as possible. Everyone had a blast with the photo booth too. The props were great and people liked being able to e-mail the pictures as well as take keepsakes home with them. I can't reccomend GSE enough. Everyone just did such a great job!
There's nothing more stressful than hoping your guests have a great of a time at your wedding as you do. Thank god because of Gold Standard Entertainment, that was no issue for my ...
cousin's wedding! From the ceremony to reception, Kyle and his team were professional, but most of all, personable. It's hard to find vendors in the Wedding Industry that don't just view weddings as money signs but actually care about how your day will turn out. There were songs for every decade! From the flower girl to the grandfather at Table 13- the party never stopped. You know you have the best DJ in the industry when the guests crowd around the DJ Booth at the end of the night begging for more music! Thank you Gold Standard Entertainment! By far the best in the tristate area!
Kyle is a true professional. From the beginning, he answered all of my questions (there were many) promptly and patiently. He played all of my requests, and also requests from the ...
guests. My wedding was very small (24 people) and it was mostly an older crowd so I did not get any bells and whistles, but Kyle has so many cool extras available. He handled my small party perfectly, and although there weren't many people dancing, everyone enjoyed the music. Check out the GSE YouTube channel.
