Steve Gregory, DJ

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!

ific 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!

d so amazing! There was always someone on the dance floor and I, the bride, danced to about 98% of the songs. (In that 2 % was the mother son dance). Even after the wedding I was getting compliments from my guests saying that the DJ was amazing! He was inclusive with the music he played, but just the right amount! If you're looking for a fun upbeat DJ, stop looking now and hire Steve and Gayle! You will not regret it!

even booked them for an extra hour with just a week or 2 notice! Everything went very smoothly from our perspective!! I definitely recommend Steve!

uccessful wedding, the DJ really sets the tone for the party. Steve and Gayle worked with my daughter and her fiancée to plan the music, toasts, and general flow of the event. All of our guests commented that it was a great wedding and many said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Even my 80-year old parents were out on the dance floor! I give Steve and Gayle a lot of credit for the success of my daughter's wedding! Thank you Steve and Gayle!!

dding venue before, but they made a special trip to see the location and walk around the ceremony site to figure out how their equipment would work. My favorite part of working with both of them was that they took the time to meet with me and my (now) husband to tailor the experience to us! The setup for the ceremony was great, all of our guests said they were able to hear us and the minister for the outside ceremony. The music for dancing flowed so well, the majority of the guests were on the dance floor all night, and those that weren't were able to talk outside without being drowned out by the music. I would definitely recommend Steve for any event, and Gayle is an amazing bonus!

also provided us with a timeline and coordinated with our other vendors. Steve made sure that everything ran smoothly day of and made sure that our guests were dancing all night!

ther vendors and making a playlist that was perfect for our wedding. Finally, they were probably the most calming influence as our wedding day approached. We recommend them to ANYONE looking for a DJ!

They were so kind and thorough with their planning process, so much so that they helped me plan a good portion of the ceremony and reception timeline! We had several check in phone calls at no extra cost and we felt so relaxed with them. At our wedding, they were timely, and coordinated with our venue without us needing to help. The music was on point and a great mixture of songs for all of our guests. We had soooo many comments after the wedding about how wonderful of a job they did and how helpful they were in answering questions and keeping the timeline flowing! Thank you both again!

tailed oriented and professional. The day of the wedding, the weather did not cooperate and the very last minute we had to move our outdoor ceremony inside. They handled everything for us and the ceremony went off without a hitch. During the reception, Steve had everyone up and dancing and the dance floor was never empty. Thank you Gayle and Steve for making my daughter's wedding fun and memorable.

d to make things perfect for our big day! Steve and Gayle were such a big hit that almost all of our wedding guests commented on how great they were, and are still talking about them nearly 3 months later. Super awesome- wouldn't recommend anyone else!

nd Steve made his spirit present on our day. They incorporated his bluegrass music in our ceremony and throughout the reception. They also had all types of music to keep us entertained and dancing! The best part was when my 4 year old step son requested "The Ants Go Marching On". Steve had it! He gave him a microphone so he could sing along as well. Professional, entertaining, and accommodating!

fer suggestions to a very overwhelmed bride. They took the time to get to know us as a couple and used their experience to deliver a fantastic service for our wedding. We would HIGHLY recommend using Steve for any service, but especially your wedding. We would also recommend the Love Story. Steve was able to take parts of our history as a couple and incorporate it into an entertaining "story" for our guests to enjoy! Steve can read the guests so well; he knew exactly what to play and when to play it without lists of songs from me. He played songs I would have never thought to play, but they were absolutely spot on for our guests and that moment. Our guests were up dancing the entire evening!! Thank you so much Steve and Gayle. You two made our evening so smooth and perfect!

you need even if it isn't about their services. They are both so sweet and helpful and kept everything flowing through the wedding and reception. You can not go wrong with Steve!!

res of music with a few example songs, and they handled the nitty-gritty of selecting and ordering all of the songs. This saved us a ton of time and stress, and the music on our wedding day was even better than we had envisioned or hoped for! Literally several people came up to me after the wedding and raved about how great the music selection had been. Steve and Gayle not only tailored the music to our pre-wedding requests, but they also read the crowd perfectly during the reception to ensure that all of our guests were having a blast. I would recommend Steve and Gayle to anyone, seriously!

unny, personable, and extremely helpful!
