About this vendor
We no longer offer DJ services, so the Knot split the account in two. The active one—the one that is just for live music—is the other one, listed as just "G Sharp Entertainment.". Confusing, I know.

Greg was amazing!! We He was professional, responsive and his prices were fair and affordable. His online planning forum made picking music easy. At our wedding, Greg performed live music for cocktail hour and DJ'd for the ceremony and reception. While we didn't hear him during cocktail hour the guests said his performance was great! Our wedding started at 10am and he played music that kept people on the dance floor despite the early morning. Greg also provided us with a photobooth which was a huge hit. I would highly recommend Greg and G Sharp Entertainment. Thank you!!
Greg was great! He played classical guitar for our cocktail hour and dinner then switched to DJing for the dancing portion. He was super accommodating of our request to have the groom's brother play guitar/sing for our first dance. We also opted to add in the photo booth which was a lot of fun and we loved looking back at all the photos afterward (they send you a flashdrive of all the pics taken in the booth). Only complaint was that the booth is only big enough for about 4 people.
Greg was amazing! We hired him to play our ceremony music and DJ our reception. Throughout the planning process, he was very responsive and helpful in answering my many questions. We got so many compliments on the music at the wedding - Greg played an awesome dance mix! And he was gracious in accepting song requests throughout the night. We also worked with his day-of coordinator Patricia. She was so helpful in managing all the day-of details so I didn't have to think about anything except for taking it all in. I highly recommend Greg and Patricia!
So happy we went with Greg for our recent wedding and would highly recommend him. Greg played guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour, was the DJ during the reception, and also set up lights. Greg was excellent in all these roles and really easy to work with during the planning process.
We were most impressed with how well Greg kept the dance floor moving - which anyone knows is a critical part of any wedding! Greg has an online planning tool for suggesting songs - and this was really helpful - but when it really came down to the day of - his experience as a DJ rather than our suggestion with the planning tool is what really mattered. Of course he played all our "must play songs" and none of our "do not play songs", but I am so glad that he played a number of songs we never even suggested. He seemed to know to play just the right song at just the right time! Made for a really fun dance floor!
I literally googled "live music DJ bossa nova" and found Greg Shibley (and only Gred Shibley). He was PERFECT! For our ceremony and cocktail hour, he played guitar and sang, and for our reception he DJ'd and MC'd. He knew Brazilian Portuguese which was a huge plus for my in-laws from Brazil! He was very confident, experienced, and just knows how to do it right. My guests are already recommending Greg to other people, everyone loved him!
Greg was amazing! We met with him before and he helped us balance exactly what we were looking for. We could not afford a live band but Greg offered live acoustic music for our cocktail hour and for our first dance. Then he really kept the reception dancing and out on the dance floor for the entire night!
In addition, he works with a day of coordinator who was amazing! Patricia made it very easy not to worry about little details being addressed the day of. She helped set up the church and then went straight to the reception to make sure all was well. She worked with Greg to keep us on time with the timeline and everything worked out smoothly!
They were both amazing vendors to work with and we could not be more pleased with the end result!
I can't say enough good things about G Sharp! Greg and Pat are the best! Greg was absolutely wonderful to work with in terms of booking and logistics for my wedding. Pat (who did live music for cocktail hour then DJ'd my wedding reception) was amazing! He is so easy to work with and kept the party so high energy everyone was on the dance floor!! I had countless guests tell me how good the music was! Pat did a great job of mixing in all my "must play" songs with other great party tunes. I would HIGHLY recommend to any couple planning a wedding to hire G Sharp!
Greg was amazing! He played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJed for the reception. I heard nothing but great things about the music! And coming from an eclectic crowd of people who love to dance, that's saying something. I've been to a lot of weddings where the DJ plays only what he wants to, but Greg plated what WE wanted--Everyone thought it was on point. He kept the party going up until the very last song, and he played everyone's requests. He's super easy to work with too. Highly organized, which I appreciated, and very easy to get ahold of. I have a rowdy bunch, and he was able to go with the flow effortlessly. I highly recommend Greg for all events. I hope I get to work with him again for another event!
Perfect. My (now) wife and I got married recently and Greg was the DJ and MC at our wedding. We first met Greg when we heard him playing Spanish guitar at South Coast Winery when we were driving around looking for venues in Temecula. He was getting pretty deep into the Mexican and Brazilian love songs, and my wife - who is from Mexico City - was loving his music so much that she made me go up and get his card. We talked briefly, and he shared that he was a DJ too. That sealed the deal.
We were concerned about our DJ (generally) because I am very white, my wife is very Mexican, and we have very different music tastes. We shared that we needed someone who could seamlessly incorporate both American music and Mexican music, so as not to alienate either crowd. We also needed someone who could speak in English and Spanish at the reception (as my wife's family speaks only limited English). Greg hit a home run.
As far as the guitar at the ceremony, it was straight out of a movie. Everyone was commenting about his guitar playing and his singing, and it fit perfectly with the vineyard we got married in. When you envision someone playing guitar at your ceremony, you are picturing Greg.
As far as the reception, it was apparent that Greg really listened to us when we told him what music we liked, and his playlist was customized. This wasn't your standard "Journey - Don't Stop Believin" playlist. We heard song-after-song that we had mentioned in passing, as well as other songs in genres we liked but hadn't specifically mentioned. He really listened to us and got to know us. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night, and that was ALL Greg.
Outstanding!!!! G-Sharp played guitar for the ceremony/cocktail hour & provided dj/lights for reception. The night was perfect & carefree! Ceremony guitar was amazing & our dance floor was always full. Thank you Greg!!!!!
Greg performed/worked at our wedding in June 2013 and we can't say enough good things about him.
The short:
He's professional in every manner. He's personable, punctual, communicative and responsive.
He's accommodating: He's what you need him to be: a classical guitarist, a wedding singer, a DJ, a lighting specialist. And we will make every effort to meet or talk with you on your schedule to help you plan prior to your event date.
He's meticulous: Since he had never performed/worked at the venue we had chosen, he requested that he conduct a walk-through about a month before the wedding date to map out the logistics - his attention to detail is a godsend as he will know how to prevent issues and solve any that do come up.
He's affordable (and he's worth every penny): We ordered his DJ/Musician package. His prices were cheaper than most other DJs and yet he provided more value than we could've expected. The sound was great all around - from the acoustic music during the ceremony, to the cocktail hour and dinner time background music, to the speeches, to the dancing music - the sound was always clear and audible to just about everyone at our outdoor venue. His personalized service was the icing on the already abundant cake. He learned an alt-country song that is dear to us and played it for our first dance. He played a beautiful rendition of the song and that dance stands out as the single-most memorable moment of our wedding day. We are eternally grateful to him for that performance alone.
His website is a great tool for organizing your wedding day timeline. Also, he's got a great online tool to search for music and set up the playlist you want him to spin.
The long:
We met Greg at a bridal bazaar in January of 2012. We wanted the opposite of a paint-by-numbers, cookie-cutter wedding ceremony, so a bridal bazaar was the last place we wanted to be. We reluctantly attended the bazaar in the hopes of quickly finding the few vendors we needed to round out our wedding. One of the vendors we needed was a DJ. Amidst the seemingly endless selection of greasy, cheesy, loud, bombastic, flashy and forgettable DJs, Greg's G-Sharp Entertainment quietly stood out. Greg sat on a stool playing bossa nova tunes while his wife answered questions, handed out CDs of music samples and pamphlets. His service seemed different from all the others, so we decided to ask a few more questions and then asked if he was available for the weekend of our wedding. We got a good vibe from him and his wife, but wanting to do more research we didn't him book right away. He encouraged us to see his Thursday night performances at the Westgate where we could see him perform and talk to him more at length after his show. We met another couple that was 'auditioning' him for their wedding. After seeing him perform again, and speaking with him a few more times, we booked him for our wedding.
If you're looking for more information or a reference we've told Greg that we would happily sing his praises to anyone who asks. Feel free to ask Greg for our contact info and we'll tell you anything you want to know about his services.
He's really as good as it gets.
Greg is a phenomenal choice for a dj. He was very professional, kind and also very talented and a beautiful classical,modern music guitar player. He is a great choice for live ceremony music and also if you would like to combine DJ services with live music, then it makes it super convenient because he's very good at doing both. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone planning a wedding!
Greg did an awesome job. He is a very talented live musician and an exceptional DJ. He was very easy to work with and made our wedding great. I would highly recommend him to everyone.
