Our DJ was hands-down the life of the party! He kept our dance floor packed literally until the moment we all left. Beyond being an amazing entertainer, he was fantastic during the planning process, helping us nail down our timelines and being game for absolutely anything we wanted to do. He made our vision happen seamlessly. We truly appreciated him and his incredible energy, our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was!

of, he seemed to lack that same energy. We also were told people could make requests by him, but a lot of requests seemed to be denied. We also had issues of him being rude and stand offish to our party/guests, and we were told this by multiple accounts.
If you need a DJ that does his job and does it well, then Gary is your guy. He can read the room and play songs that bring people back. But keep in mind these other factors.

I can’t recommend DJ Gary enough because he was a fantastic emcee, DJ and overall the nicest guy ever! He knows how to read the room to keep the energy up and handled the entire night with ease!

However, there were a few instances where Gary approached the bride and groom during the reception that could have been handled in a different manner. Overall he did a great job with our music selection during cocktail hour, dinner, and open dancing. He was spot on with all name pronunciations!

We could not have been happier with how our wedding day went. Gary did a great job during the reception to keep communicating with us so that we were able to not get behind on our timeline. Everything worked out extremely well. And for the price, hiring Gary at Great Day Entertainment is a no brainer. We would recommend Gary to anyone.

Also, as an example of his flexibility and consideration, at the end of the night he played our last three songs as we had requested, but of course some of our friends weren't quite ready to be done dancing yet, so he asked us what we wanted to do. We really appreciated all of his hard work to make sure that we didn't have to worry about anything and got to just enjoy our day!
