Steve Gregory, DJ

Steve was amazing! He was the DJ and MC for our wedding and did a fantastic job. From the moment we met him, we knew we wanted to move forward with booking. He has so much experience in this industry and knew the right questions to ask to make sure our day flowed well and to ensure he knew exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, he was very prompt and set everything up early, ensuring all equipment was functional and ready to go - he provided a lapel microphone for our officiant, a wireless microphone for a reading, and music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was also very quick on his feet! We had a storm roll in during our reception that made the power go out about 6 times. He never missed a beat and had the music rolling where it left off as fast as possible. As a fun surprise for our guests at the end of the night, we broke out Steve’s karaoke system and sang the night away for the last hour. Steve is dependable, fun, and amenable to changes, and he played a large part in making our day so special. We cannot recommend him enough!

We discovered Steve Gregory via TheKnot.com. He was not originally a DJ recommended by our wedding planner, but I'm sure he will be from now on!   My husband and I are wanderlusts from Michigan who yearned for an intimate destination wedding. Our venue was a quaint and historic bed and breakfast outside of Harrisonburg, Virginia – 10 hours from our home. Hiring a DJ was a point of anxiety for our wedding planning. We knew it would be a small wedding with 50 of our closest family and friends. Their ages ranged from toddler to super-senior. Our group isn't full of enthusiastic dancers. With these thoughts in mind, we faced some difficult questions: Did we need a DJ? Was it even possible to entertain everyone at the same time? Could the right DJ do the impossible and inspire our most stationary guests to dance? We can answer these questions with the benefit of hindsight: Yes, yes, and yes!   Steve and his wife, Gayle, charmed us on our initial phone consultation. We spent a little time on the call talking business and lots of time getting to know each other personally. It felt like we were talking to old friends. Our conversation made it apparent that Steve and Gayle understood how to make folks feel comfortable, informed, and entertained. That's how we felt while talking with them. We let the Gregorys know our concerns, and they delicately and expertly put our minds at ease. They set great expectations, responded promptly via phone and e-mail, and worked harmoniously with our other wedding vendors.   We first met Steve in person on our wedding day. He arrived looking dapper in a suit and smile. He brought enough equipment to set up the three locations we used on the premises for our festivities. Fast-forward to the reception, where we threw some small curveballs at Steve. We opted last minute to skip the cake-cutting. My mother decided we should play the "shoe game." Steve effortlessly adjusted and adapted, and our reception continued without missing a beat.   These are the types of things you expect from a good DJ. Now we're getting to the part where Steve amazed us --   Every one of our able-bodied guests danced that night. You could hear the proclamations from shocked family members, "Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen Uncle Neil dance!" Even our vendors danced that night! It's like Steve sprinkled magic dust on our feet, making it impossible to stand still. Steve engaged and delighted our crowd. His music selection spanned many decades and various genres, which appealed to everyone. Our favorite memory of the night is Steve playing "The Biker Shuffle." We didn't know it, but he taught us. He brought a microphone to the dance floor and gave step-by-step instructions before turning us loose. Steve Gregory - a DJ who's fun AND educational!   My cousin, who lives nearby in Michigan, became engaged last week. When she called to tell me, one of her first questions was, "Do you think your wedding DJ would be willing to drive to Michigan? He was the best DJ ever!"   I can't think of any higher praise than that. Well earned, Steve and Gayle. Thank you for everything!

We worked with DJ Steve for both our ceremony and reception. He did a great job helping us pick music for the ceremony and reception, since we had an idea of the theme but not specific songs. He gave us a packet to fill out to help him understand us and our relationship, then added in fun little bits and pieces throughout the night. What a thoughtful personal touch! He also made our reception such a blast! He kept everyone out on the dance floor and kept the energy up throughout the night even though it was a little chilly. He even gave an Electric Slide dance lesson to the whole reception! When there was a little bit of a technical snafu, he did a great job keeping up the flow. I didn't realize how important a great DJ was to our wedding, and I'm so glad we had an amazing one! I highly recommend DJ Steve!
