Kenny and his son were the best!! Did everything I asked and more! Played the songs we had to hear! Stayed away from songs they knew no one would dance too! The uplighting was perf...
ect and even did a gobo ( our name in lights in a heart on the wall)! It was just perfect! Thank you Kenny!!
Kenny was the BEST!!! I would reccomend him to anyone looking for a DJ. All our guests had a great time!! Music was awesome!!!!
I used Kenny Gilder from the DJ company for my wedding. As far as DJs go, he kept the party going and kept people dancing, but he is not the easiest person to work with.
Kenny h...
as a very set way he likes to do things, and he thinks his way is right. He doesn't like to change what he does and gets very defensive if he is questioned about it. Over our correspondences and meeting, I got the impression that he wasn't really listening to what I wanted and just was going to do whatever he wanted, which was confirmed when he played the one song I had on my do not play list, even though we talked about it in our meeting.
Also, he does not use MP3s, so I had to provide him with a CD of songs I wanted that he didn't have. He did play all the songs on the CD though.
The bottom line with Kenny is this: he is good at his job, he did play songs I like and songs I asked him to play, but he is not very flexible and will not change what he does based on what the bride wants. He also gets defensive when he is questioned about his decisions. However, my wedding was really fun. People danced all night and he did play the songs I put on the play list. He just isn't the easiest person to work with.

Kenny was awesome! Our meeting with him went great, and we were very pleased with all the "tactics" he uses to get guests to dance!
Due to a family situation, Ke...
nny was not able to be at our wedding himself, so he sent Brian, one of his employees. Brian was awesome as well! He was very accommodating and understanding of our time constraints and photographer snafu. He honored all of our must play and do not play lists. All guest requests were also played in a timely manner. Overall, I would highly recommend Kenny and his staff at the dj company!
We choose The DJ Company after seeing them at a friend's wedding and noticing how well the reception flowed.
They did not disappoint! Jerry did a great job getting our guests out...
of their seats and onto the dance floor. Jerry hit all of our must plays and did a great job of mixing up the music to keep everyone involved
We were so pleased with Kenny G and the DJ Company. The music was great, they kept the dance floor packed all night and they kept the night flowing perfectly.
You will not be disappointed. The dance floor was never empty. Kenny Gilder knows what he is doing. Such a good mix of music and flow throughout the entire evening, we couldnt g...
et people to leave at the end of the night, everyone had such a good time. Worth the extra money from the I-pod, computer imitation DJ's. Being a DJ is a true art and Kenny G is an artist.
Where do I start? Kenny G is awful. He talks over you and doesn't listen when you speak. He doesn't consider your ideas and just says that he has so much experience, "I know that...
won't work." He is irresponsible. Here was my situation:
I contracted with Kenny eight months before my wedding. At that time, I read over the info packet and saw that we had to set up a time to meet with him to finalize everything. This meeting should occur no later than 14 days before the wedding. Perfect! So I emailed Kenny in March (wedding is in June)to set up a later date for the wedding. His response was that "we'll worry about that closer to the wedding date." Alright. So I didn't hear from him and it was now the beginning of May. So I emailed and asked the same question. I received the same answer. Tell me, it was the first week of May and our wedding was June 5... how much sooner do you want?! So I waited... finally I get a phone call 2 weeks before the wedding. Kenny tells me he will be out of town the weekend of our wedding for his son's graduation in which he forgot about and his ex-wife reminded him (I wonder why they are divorced???). He proceeds to tell me that he's not sure he can find anyone else to cover the wedding. WTF?! And then he says, I noticed you haven't made any payments yet to which I said, "I know. I was supposed to pay you when we met for the pre-event meeting that I've been trying to schedule with you for months!" He ignored the jab and just said okay well you can give it to us at the wedding. I was fuming! It's now the Monday before the wedding and we still don't have a DJ. He said that one guy might be able to do and he would call us that night. No call. I call the next day. The new guy should call us tonight. No call. Wednesday Kenny calls me to tell me that he doesn't have a lot of the songs we requested for our special dances/entrance. I told him where I found them online that he could purchase the one from iTunes for $1.29 and the other was a private person for $9.99. He told me "I don't deal with iTunes and I refuse to buy one song for ten bucks!" I'm sorry but aren't I paying you enough to do that?! Especially with all the hassle? Before I could say anything he said, "I'm already giving you enough of a discount (we got our service through a promotion he was running) so I can't spend that kind of money on songs." I was furious and told him to keep looking. It end with me buying the two songs along with 5 other popular songs that he didn't have and putting them on a CD for him to play at the wedding. It is now the wedding day and it's 1.5 hours before the ceremony and I still haven't heard from anyone to know if anyone from the DJ company was coming to do the wedding. Finally, a guy shows up an hour before to set up. The new guy comes up to me 30 min. before I walk down the aisle to "confirm the playlist". So unprofessional. I didn't want to pay them or provide food for them or anything... but I did out of the kindness of my heart.
