Harry was the most amazing DJ for our wedding. He was so attentive for us, and he played great music that got everyone up and dancing. Harry was great at knowing exactly what songs to play at what time. We had planned for using the audio guestbook and we are SOO grateful to have our families voices recorded with a sweet wedding message for us forever. He played all the songs we requested and he made sure we were enjoying ourselves throughout the night!
Harry was OUTSTANDING! Harry was basically our wedding planner - he coordinated the entire day to match our vision! The day was perfect and Harry was behind the scenes helping to keep things going on time! His energy was amazing and the guests really enjoyed him and his presence! The Photo Booth the guests LOVED and we added dance floor lighting for that night club feel. We got numerous compliments on his behalf - the energy in the room was such a part!
My husband and I felt that he took care of everything - we had nothing to worry about working with him! He assured us the day would be perfect and it truly was!! I would book with Harry! He’s the best!!
Harry made our day so simple and special. He made the planning stressful and was so easy to work with! Everything my husband and I wanted Harry made sure we had. Would recommend him to everyone!!!
Thank you Harry for making our day perfect!
Oh Harry from the block… words cannot express the amount of appreciation we have for you! You made our entire wedding day so perfect. There was no lapse in time where our guests were not entertained. You were so flexible, lively, and just an overall amazing human being. We have become fast friends and the only person we could have trusted for our big day. Thank you for the time and energy you put into our big day, and just making our lives so fun and memorable! You’re the BEST!
Harry was absolutely amazing to work with. He constantly was in contact with us to make sure we were prepared for our day. We had 2 phone calls prior to the day and he had a google doc we filled out with all our info. We got so many complements on the music with the wide variety and how many people were on the dance floor! I would recommend Harry time and time again!
Harry was amazing to work with. He threw in many special songs and touches and really helped us coordinate our day. We added on the uplighting and photo booth and I'm so glad we did!! The photo booth pictures were so fun to review after the wedding. We could not stop laughing. The uplighting really made our venue beautiful. We had rain and Harry quickly pivoted and put wireless speakers outside once the rain stopped so we were still able to do dancing outside later! Thanks Harry!
From the first couple minutes of speaking with Harry I knew I had to book him for our wedding. Harry was like a second wedding planner! His organization, professionalism, and flexibility is impeccable. He made sure our ceremony, cocktail hour, intros, and dances ran smoothly. We also had a live band and Harry was able to jump in and play music that our guests loved in between their sets. Harry is genuinely kind and we are so thankful to have booked him for our special day.
what can i say about harry? i actually could write a novel on how amazing he was; from the moment Joe and i met him he was so happy and thrilled to be apart of our special day! i could text him whenever throughout the day sometimes more than once and he would answer no matter what! i texted him hey harry can i change this to this and he said absolutely no problem everytime. i can’t even being to express how grateful we were. on my actual wedding day he ran eveyrthing so smoothly i didn’t have to worry about a single thing! he also is a jokester which i loved and he really interacts with your wedding which is amazing. harry, Joe and i thank you x a million for making our wedding a dream come true! EVERYONE HG ENTERTAINMENT IS THE BEST!
To say Harry was fantastic just isn’t enough. One of the best choices we made for our wedding day. When we met with him, we knew he was the right one for a few reasons.
- incredibly friendly, like you are talking to a family member that will be working at your wedding
- his priority is you having an amazing time at your wedding
- will work with you for whatever you imagine for your day and makes it work
We found that his pricing was very reasonable. The promises he makes to you about how he DJ’s, he keeps. He told us he would be watching our reactions throughout the reception to make sure we are having a good time and that he would change songs if people didn’t seem into it. This is exactly what he did, almost without us even noticing, because he so seamlessly kept the music rolling in a way that the two of us and our guests danced ALL night. And everyone of every age as well. He also did a great job with the lighting and MCing. Dressed very professionally. He was also very accommodating when we had to reschedule the wedding due to COVID. Cannot recommend Harry enough!!!
From the beginning to the end, Harry was professional and helpful. His years of experience allowed for easy and coordinated planning and made the day of flow perfectly. His music choices had our guests on the dance floor all night. By the end of the night, I was exhausted and my feet hurt….and I’m not usually one to get up and dance!! 10/10 would recommend for any occasion!!
Simply put- if you don't hire Harry, you're doing it wrong.
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Harry is. From our very first conversation until the last song played at our wedding, we can't think of a single thing to say that isn't amazing.
Harry is quick to respond and always happy to help. He takes the time to get to know each of his couples leading up to the wedding so that he understands the vision for the night. His organization is exactly what you wish for when planning your wedding.
The day of the wedding you can expect Harry to be just as excited for the day as you are. He is all smiles and genuinely cares about you having the best day.
The week before the wedding, we had a quick call to go over the night and he was probably more prepared than we were.. which was FANTASTIC.
An hour before our ceremony, I realized there were two things I forgot to specify about our processional and recessional songs. Harry was able to make the edits and cut the songs with no issue and the two songs were exactly what I had wanted.
Our guests loved him, and were telling us all night how perfect the music was. The music choices were perfect, we gave a few artists and songs we wanted to hear and told Harry to have at it for the rest of the night. He nailed it.
We truly could not be happier with Harry's work. We will be sending everyone we know his way in the future.
Thank you, Harry!
Harry was incredible! He came highly recommended. I also worked a few events with him when I used to work at a catering hall in the past and I wouldn’t want anyone else DJ my wedding. We also used the laugh pod- the pictures had my now husband and I dying. Our guests had a blast. If being a bride wasn’t stressful enough, I decided it would be fun to throw a pandemic in the mix- Harry took all that stress away and our wedding was ran flawlessly! Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. Everyone had a blast! I can’t thank him enough! Amazing, amazing, amazing!
I cannot say enough good things about Harry and I am SO glad my husband and I hired him as our wedding DJ for both our ceremony and reception (we also got our photo booth through him - highly recommend). I actually spoke to a couple DJ's before I contacted Harry but as soon as I spoke to him, I knew we had found "the one" LOL. Throughout the planning process, Harry was extremely responsive, very thorough, super organized, detailed oriented all while being beyond pleasant to work and interact with. I had full trust in him that the DJ component of our wedding would be flawlessly executed and it was, thanks to Harry. HE IS A GREAT DJ and a TRUE professional. Throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, the music was everything we requested and exactly what we wanted to listen to. The dance floor was INSANE - EVERYONE was dancing. If a song came on and people started to leave - BOOM - he switched it up and everyone would come running back. He knows how to read a room and keep the party going. I love to dance (I literally only left the dance floor for champagne) so hiring a DJ was very important to me and we could not be more thrilled that we hired Harry. THANK YOU HARRY for helping make our wedding the best, most fun and most unforgettable day ever!
Harry was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad he was! He walked us through every detail of our wedding, he was very responsive & extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We used Harry for our ceremony, cocktail hour & reception and everything was perfect & ran smoothly. The dance floor was packed ALL night and I was truly just so amazed at how he read the crowd and knew EXACTLY what music to play to keep it going. There was not a dull moment on the dance floor the entire time. Thank you Harry for making our wedding so memorable, it couldn't of happened without you!!
I truly cannot put into words how amazing Harry was to work with. After postponing three times, Harry was unfortunately supposed to be booked for our new date. He assured us he would find us an amazing DJ, and boy did he deliver. Due to the events of covid (and many reschedules) , we ended up with Harry running our photo booth and another DJ as well. Throughout the process Harry’s compassion, wisdom and extreme professionalism made us feel comfortable from the start. He promises he won’t disappoint and he exceeds all expectations. He is the most organized and kind vendor I have ever met. His photo booth and overall wedding planning advice was invaluable. I tell everyone I know to hire Hg entertainment if they want a stress free and amazing DJ! He is truly a class act.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Harry is simply the best. From the moment I emailed him he got back to me right away. We scheduled a call and he put all of my worries at ease. Harry put my Type A personality at ease. Everything was organized, and he kept the flow going without missing a beat. He makes sure to get a good idea of your big day before the day of so he can keep things flowing without having to ask the bride questions day of. We had a back yard wedding. He did the sound for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and of course the reception. He worked flawlessly with our videographer. We had many people come up to us and compliment the fact that he was able to keep EVERYONE on the dance floor all night. This was quite impressive considering we had such a mix in age. Lastly, you could tell that he really cared about your vision, and wanted your day to be as perfect as you did :)
Harry was recommended to me by a coworker and to my husband by a coworker. We work in very different fields but loved that we had a dual recommendation. We can see why both people recommended Harry. First of all, Harry is so great at answering emails right away! Within a day of first contacting him to set up a meeting he got back to us! Come to find out that he was responding back to us and answering our questions while he was on vacation. Throughout the entire process of planning he was still on top of everything!
We used HG Entertainment for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and Harry setup and handled everything very well! I've gone to hundreds of concerts featuring alllll types of artists and our house is never without music on, so a dj that could adapt and play a little bit of everything we like was a must!
I also wanted to use the microphone to introduce my father personally for my father-daughter dance instead of us both being called up. I really appreciated that Harry let me use the mic for that!
The only thing we didn't love was that Harry posted a few pictures on social media the night of our wedding. We had a sign at the entrance and a sign at our welcome table asking guests not to post on social media, but didn't think of mentioning it to our vendors.
Harry is the BEST DJ in CT!! We found Harry through our venue and had been told by them that he was excellent and that they loved working with him--a really great sign! His pre-wedding consultations with us were so thorough and we felt so at ease knowing that he was so prepared and attentive. On the actual day of our wedding Harry truly had everything with music handled. He flawlessly incorporated all of the songs we had picked for our ceremony and was an effortless MC at the reception. We had guests telling us they loved the selections of songs that he played at the reception and it was clear that he knew how to read a crowd and keep people entertained. Harry was flexible with all of our requests/schedule and truly such a nice guy! I would tell anyone getting married to book with Harry--thank you for everything!!
Harry was truly wonderful to work with. He was very attentive and responded to any message or email I sent within an hour. He helped answer any question I had about the process and was very professional and nice. Everyone enjoyed the music and had a lot of fun with the photobooth.
Choosing a DJ for your big day can be difficult because you can't look at a portfolio full of photos or have a trial run like you can with hair and makeup. But you don't need to look any further than Harry from HG Entertainment. We had one phone call with him and we knew we needed to book him for our wedding! His personality, professionalism and experience level are unmatched by any other wedding DJ out there, and it truly shows in every bit of planning and his performance on your big day. His outline for planning your music is easy to use and you can fill it out on your own time as you think of exactly what songs you want for each and every part of your wedding. We had Harry DJ both our ceremony and reception, and couldn't be happier with his performance. He was incredibly helpful with the planning process, very patient with us as we took our time with picking songs and provided perfect recommendations when we had trouble filling a couple of the blanks. On the day of our wedding he showed up early, set up with plenty of time to spare and even did sound checks with the Officiant before any guests arrived to the ceremony. Each and every song we picked was played exactly on cue, transitioned smoothly and at a large venue like ours he managed to keep the volume perfectly even throughout the entire area. We had a couple unexpected things happen during our reception and Harry kept right up with the punches. His ability to adapt and be flexible with us while we delayed things was not only greatly appreciated, but also flawless. During our wedding, Harry was also our master of ceremonies, and kept the evening moving along by corralling the wedding party and guests to where they needed to be, and made sure everybody always knew when and where they had to be and what they had to do next, which took all of that stress off of us and allowed us to enjoy our evening. We highly recommend Harry for your wedding or special event! His superior communication skills, professionalism at all times, and commitment to making sure your big day is perfect.
Lori O'B. Harry was awesome!! Everyone we talked to after our wedding, had nothing but great things to say about the DJ. They, along with my husband and I, thought he was just so great. He has a great personality. He had everyone dancing. Listened to our choices for music. He gives a questionnaire when you sign up with him to fill out. This way, he know every possible thing and the bride and groom have to worry about NOTHING. If you're looking for a DJ, Harry is your man!! He is SECOND TO NONE!!
We used Harry's services for our ceremony, reception, and photo booth. Harry is a fantastic DJ, but the best thing about working with Harry is that he truly understands weddings and how to coordinate the flow of the music and events/announcements. He made our wedding day SO easy and stress free. The photo booth was fantastic- it was a huge hit with our guests and he provided all of the setup and props. We highly recommend Harry- you won't be disappointed!!
Harry was attentive, efficient, knowledgable and he always had our best interest in mind- even when other vendors didn't! We didn't give him a ton of direction but he somehow knew exactly what to play and how to keep our crowd happy!
Harry is the BEST. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was professional, accommodating, responsive, flexible, sweet, kind, and extremely attentive. He is a master MC, and great at working with a crowd. He was always available via email or text message, and listened to every idea we had. We could not have picked a better DJ to work with for our wedding.
Hiring Harry was one of our best wedding decisions! His organizational skills and overall knowledge was so reassuring to me throughout the entire wedding process. My guests kept saying how great the music was, there was a big enough variety to get everyone on the dance floor. He got the entire crowd pumped up and they loved the centerpiece game he did. We also used the photobooth and all my guests loved it , there were plenty of props. I cannot recommend HG Entertainment enough!! Thank you Harry!
Hiring Harry/HG Entertainment was hands down one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning! He is so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and accommodating. Harry is very easy to communicate with, responds quickly to any questions, and goes above and beyond for his clients. We added his open-style photobooth the week before our wedding, and it was such a big hit. Guests loved that they got a printed picture and/or the picture sent to them via text message. We had snow on our wedding day, and one of the most reassuring things the morning of was getting a text from Harry saying that everything is packed, he is ready to go and he will see me soon! That simple gesture during a stressful morning really made all the difference! Picking out songs for the various parts of a ceremony/wedding can seem like a daunting task, however Harry really works with you to find songs and personalize every aspect. I highly, highly recommend HG Entertainment!!
Harry is the best! He is not just a dj but helps coordinate the night to be perfect! We couldn’t have picked a better dj and also an amazing photo booth! Thank you so much for making our night perfect!
Harry is the perfect choice! Very professional, prompt, supportive, and all-around great at what he does. He went above and beyond to make me feel confident and relaxed before the wedding and I knew I'd be in good hands with him. He arrived very early to set up and even let my sister borrow a cord when her guitar one wasn't working. His song choices were excellent and we all had a blast dancing all night long! Don't hesitate to call Harry!
Cannot say enough great things about this DJ. Harry is a professional, he knows exactly how a wedding should go, minute by minute, and will be on top of everybody else working your wedding to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. He provides all your entertainment needs: music, photo booth, lights. He doesn't require too much input on what songs to play, but receives it well when input is given. Everyone was on the dance floor all night, even older relatives who don't usually dance. Highly recommend!
I must say that Harry G's Laugh Pod was a huge hit for our daughter's wedding at Woodwinds! The communication process from the beginning until the day before the event was never anything but professional and specific. Harry's regular updates and reminders were so helpful and welcomed. I absolutely recommend Harry and his Laugh Pod service for anyone that wants to enhance their event with a fun and different element! You cannot go wrong wih Harry G at the helm.
Harry was beyond amazing as our wedding DJ! He kept the partying going all night and our guests had the best time. Throughout the planning process and the actual wedding day, he was organized, professional, and super friendly! Definitely hire Harry!!
Hiring Harry Gambardella (HG Entertainment) was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. We had been to two weddings that he had DJ'd and one wedding with his LaughPod Photo Booth. We were sold on the PhotoBooth from the start - not only were the pictures crystal clear, and you got them immediately, but they text them to you as well! Harry's DJ services were the definition of professional. He has a form for you to fill out that gets rid of all of the guess work of planning a wedding, he has everything timed out and all set for you, no worries, no stress. If he doesn't have song files, he will get them, and he knows how to work with the crowd. The dance floor was packed all night long, and Harry knew the perfect mix of music to cater to my guests. We are so happy with Harry's services, and highly recommend him to any couples looking for a DJ that not only cares about you and gets to know you as people, but as a professional who is one of the best in the business! Thanks Harry for helping make our day exactly what we wanted it to be!!
Harry is worth his weight in gold. Our biggest worry was a booking a cheesy DJ. Happily Harry is exactly not that and is very professional from start to finish. His music and speakers are top quality. Also, he accommodated requests from guests which stays within the song theme I picked ahead of time. Everyone had an awesome time! Just book him now before someone else does!
My husband and I hired Harry for our 8/1/15 wedding (DJ and Photo Booth), and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From the beginning, Harry was very professional and informative. His prices were not overly expensive and he was quick to respond to our many emails, phone calls, and questions! He understood exactly what we wanted, what type of crowd we would be hosting, and was spot on with all of his decisions. We had a mixed age group but he was able to find music that got everyone up and dancing...we have been told months later that people had a fantastic time thanks to the great selection of music! The photo booth was a HIT with our guests! They loved the open feel and were using it all night long. We love looking back on all of the pictures, even months later.
The night of, he was constantly available and made sure everything ran smoothly. Our venue was extremely late in putting out dinner (like over an hour), which backtracked our dances and order of events. Harry made it so not one single guest noticed!! Instead of having people sit and wait at their tables, he got people out onto the dance floor, opened up the photo booth early for us, and made an extremely stressful situation much more manageable. Harry is a fantastic professional who will just get the job done without stressing the bride or groom. He then was able to fit in everything else we wanted (cake cutting, parent dances) into a new time schedule that didn't feel rushed or awkward. Don't look any further- we could write about his praises forever. You truly get more than a DJ when booking Harry, you get piece of mind. I don't know what we would have done without Harry and we will never be able to thank him enough for saving our wedding night!
Harry of HG Entertainment was recommended to me by a friend after a long and painful search for a wedding DJ. The moment I got to speak to Harry on the phone, I knew we would be in good hands. Harry helped us throughout the entire planning process with amazing advice and he made sure that the timeline that our venue made up for us flowed well and would result in the best party possible.
His booth set-up at our ceremony was perfect, and his suggestion for our officiant to wear a mic was spot-on for our location. Though we provided a small list for Harry of songs we'd like to hear on our day, he chose many of the dance songs (that I definitely wouldn't have known to pick) that our guests LOVED.
Harry had our guests play a couple of games that also got them more involved in our day and also got them to the dance floor. He was the perfect balance of involved and "behind the scenes" that I feel most DJs who I spoke to before finding Harry, could not achieve.
I would recommend HG Entertainment to anyone, and we couldn't have had a better experience.
I just got married this October. Harry was the BEST DJ! Our guests seriously couldn't stop talking about how much FUN our wedding was. The music selection was perfect. We had a beautiful monogram of our names on the dance floor which added a personal touch. We also had the photo booth and lounge which was EXTREMELY popular with our guests! The photo booth was used nonstop and we were able to create our own personal picture frame for the photos that matched with our fall theme. In addition, Harry gave us a flash drive with ALL of our guests pictures - it was so fun to look through them! Harry also helped us with fun details like a game for the centerpiece, glow necklaces and leis for the guests! We ALL really had a great time and I couldn't stop dancing :-)
From the second we met with Harry, we knew that he was the DJ for us! He has an electrifying personality, a great sense of humor, and is so incredibly personable. We felt like we could really relate to him, which was so important to us when selecting a DJ for our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Harry’s responsiveness was second to none. He was in constant contact, and seemed to respond to every email before I could even hit ‘Send.’ On our big day, Harry unobtrusively ran the show, and did a phenomenal job. He paid attention to all of the small details and kept everything right on track, which made for a perfect reception. The custom monogram and intimate uplighting added such a personal and romantic touch. From beginning to end, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Harry’s passion really shows, and because of his professionalism, the night flowed seamlessly. I cannot say enough good things about Harry. He really went above and beyond for us, and I would highly recommend him without hesitation. He was the best!
Harry Gambardella is the best DJ and a great person to work with. His goal is to make you happy and pays attention to detail. My wedding venue recommended him and I am so happy I listened to them.
Harry is very passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. He did a great job at my wedding and was really into making sure that everything went off well and that we were happy. Very nice guy and I would highly recommend him.
Harry did an amazing job at our wedding. He was attentive and helpful with planning. He played all the songs we requested and kept the night fun and upbeat. He was a pleasure to work with.
Harry was an amazing DJ for our wedding! We met with him a few times and he was so responsive to our questions and concerns. The music was great at our wedding, and the dance floor was packed from the second the dance floor opened to the end of the night.
Would not use anyone else!
Amazing!!! Harry was great and did more than we asked for. I am so happy that we chose him for our special day!
Harry was awesome! He went above and beyond in making our day special. He assisted with duties the facility should have done but neglected and really mad us feel special. He did an excellent job at entertaining our crowd and getting people out on the floor, which is hard to do with our crowd. The guests are still raving about the fun they had. A day we will never forget, thanks to Harry.
We loved Harry! Great music, great work ethic. Even checked in on my other vendors! Had the dance floor mocing the whole night!!
Harry was an amazing vendor to work with. He was so easy to connect to on our first meeting and it was clear he is really passionate about his work from the very first meeting. His newsletters have great information and he is always available for his clients via phone, skype, or email. He had great suggestions to make our event special, but did not try to take over the event. His uplighting looked fantastic and our monogram was beautiful--he worked to match it to our invitations. OUr guests loved the photobooth during the cocktail hour--our only regret is that we didn't have it for longer! Harry did a fantastic job making our reception flow--even with requests from us on the spot and needs of the reception hall. His attention to detail and concern for his couples certainly made our day so much better. We recommend him to anyone who wants someone who goes above and beyond to make their day special.
VERY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMODATING, VERY PROACTIVE, NEVER HAD TO CALL HIM TWICE, EVER!;IF YOU LIKE HIP HOP OR VERY CURRENT MUSIC, HE MAY NOT BE THE DJ FOR YOU
He was very fun to work with and did everything that we asked for. Usually DJ's can be annoying after awhile, we had not one complaint about him. We actually had people asking for his number to give to other couples because he was so wonderful!
He was great to work with and met with us twice. He was easy to get a hold of, via email (convenient) and quick to respond. He played everything we wanted and was superfriendly. He also entertained the kids at some point (which I hadn't even noticed until I saw the pictures). He made sure that the entire evening was centered around what we wanted to do when we wanted to do it (i.e. cake cutting, dances, etc). He was also very professional. He was able to really read the crown and incorporate our musical tastes to keep everyone dancing all night!
