Just a few examples of client love...
"Hiring Gary was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding-planning process. We were torn between a band and a DJ, so to be able to have both with Gary was awesome and not something I had seen anywhere else. As a singer, Gary really got the party started and set a great tone for the evening. As an MC, Gary was clear and direct, not overbearing, but still kept the evening progressing as we wanted. And as a DJ, Gary played a great mix of songs for all of our guests, and did a great job reading the floor for what to play next. We are still getting compliments on our wedding music and have zero complaints. Gary was also very easy to communicate with and responded to calls and email promptly. We would hire Gary and his rat pack again in a heartbeat!"
Olivia & Anthony ~ Bride & Groom
"Gary was amazing to work with for our wedding on 9/1/18! He took time to meet with us before the wedding and he was very organized and knowledgeable throughout the whole planning process, offering helpful suggestions and advice while listening to our wants. In addition to being an amazing singer, he kept the evening flowing smoothly and the guests loved him. He did great with the ceremony music, was very entertaining while singing during cocktail hour, and had a great energy as our DJ. We highly recommend Gary for weddings or any event!"
