    He's the guy you're looking for...

    Gary was better than we could have ever asked for. He had questions for us to ask him we never would have thought of. Very professional but also very approachable. Especially on the day of when we were none stop running and had last minute changes. I was very happy to that the quality of his sound was fantastic, no equipment problems, no song bloops, all the things a bride fears.

    Perfect dj!

    GDE was great in helping with a last minute request with a “joke” father daughter dance song, me and my dad aren’t big dancers but i always joked we would dance to a certain song at my wedding and this dj was able to make it happen for me. He was great at filling requests and helping out keep the day going!

    We love Great Day Entertainment!

    You won’t regret hiring Great Day Entertainment for your DJ! My husband and I hired them for our wedding on June 26th. Gary is so genuine and answers every question you may have about your big day. I always felt like I was more prepared and excited after talking to him.
    One thing I love that he said to me is, “No detail is too small.” You don’t have to feel like you’re bugging him with questions. He really wants to help and make your day the best it can possibly be.
    Look no further!!

    DJ Gary was Fabulous!

    DJ Gary was great! He worked with us on our music choices, took our playlists and improved them, and he really set the tone for the evening.

    Wedding DJ

    Gary was very professional yet personable. He played tasteful dinner music and fun dance music for our daughter's wedding reception. We were very happy with his service and price. Thanks Gary for helping make it a Great Day!

    The BEST DJ I’ve ever seen

    Gary was so easy to work with, easily accommodating with song choices (he let us send him Spotify playlists with the songs we wanted to hear)
    He prepared us incredibly well in the weeks leading up to that day and walked us through everything
    He was punctual the day of, and I noticed during the reception at the end of a song when people would start to walk off Gary had just the song to bring them back out
    He kept the energy up and everyone was on the dance floor all night
    We love Gary and, if we had to do it all over again, we’d still choose him! He’s amazing

    Highly Recommended DJ!

    We hired Gary for our wedding and we’re highly pleased! We had a couple of meetings to go over all the details and he stayed up to date with us during the months leading up to the wedding. He was accommodating to all of our music selections and also had a great array of genres for the cocktail hour and reception! Would highly recommend!

    Great service and a lot of fun!

    From the first consultation to the day of Gary was professional, responsive and flexible. He will not push you into add ons and does everything he can to keep things running smoothly. If you are looking for a D.J look no further.

    Perfection!!!

    Gary was truly everything and more in a DJ/wedding reception coordinator! He is so passionate about what he does and it truly shines in all of his work. Gary was so considerate about asking us what we liked while also telling us what works best, and because of him, EVERYONE was on the dance floor!!! We were so lucky to have found such an amazing DJ with the biggest heart to make the celebration so memorable and special!

    Stop Scrolling -- You've Found Your DJ

    Summary: You could not find a better DJ for your special day! I have only the absolute HIGHEST praise for the service we received.

    Details: Gary stayed in contact often in the months leading up to our wedding, making sure no detail went unplanned or unnoticed. I am confident that he helped guide us away from potential mistakes in the way that he prompted us to consider certain details and relayed successful strategies that he has seen employed previously. On the day of our event, he was flexible with unforeseen last minute changes and helped to keep us on schedule from pre-ceremony up through the reception (including reception entrances, speeches, cake cutting, and everything in between). This ended up being an absolute luxury, as we got swept up in the emotion of the day and certainly lost track of time frequently. We never had to give time a second thought, as he kept everything on track (even helped us make up time when we fell a little behind!). I was truly impressed by his professionalism in regards to both his ability to read the crowd (ie sequencing music to match the energy/tendencies of the dance floor crowd) as well as happily incorporate requests and relay some fun-natured gags over the mic (at our request, of course). His experience shines through, as does his enjoyment of what he does. Many of our guests told us it was the most fun they've had at a wedding, and I truly attribute much of this to Gary. I urge you to trust him with your business -- you'll be glad you did! I could not give a stronger recommendation.

    Thank you so very much for the love! Means a whole lot to me!! That was a magical day, and the rain held up!! A season highlight to be sure!

    The perfect wedding dj!

    Gary was the best wedding DJ ever! We booked Gary as our DJ for our wedding at Tremont City Side Ballroom in 2021. After our first phone call, we knew immediately that we wanted to have him DJ our wedding. He is professional, has years of experience, and is so relaxed and chill, we loved his vibe! Gary MC’d the night flawlessly and packed the dance floor all night! Gary read the crowd and knew exactly what to play next to keep the party going. Thank you Gary for everything, the night could not have been more perfect. We highly recommend Gary for your wedding DJ!

    Gary was great; from our first zoom call to the night of the reception, and everything in between. He was quick to respond, listened to what we wanted, and helped give us the perfect reception!

    Thanks so much for the kind words, Shannon!! That was a fun evening, and it was my pleasure to be a part of it!

    Awesome DJ!

    Gary was so awesome to work with! He was prompt to respond to all my questions prior to and on the day of everything went perfect. We had some last minute changes due to weather and absences and he was able to make all the changes last minute! He covered both our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. The dance floor was busy all night and our guests commented on how great the music was! He really helped make our special day that much better!

    We hired Gary at Chagrin Valley Entertainment for our wedding on May 20- and we could not have been more pleased with his responsiveness, professionalism and overall knowledge of the industry. We asked his opinion on many things for the night, including schedule and song choices as well. Our entire wedding night was perfect and our guests had the best time - Gary knew what to play and when to play it. We danced all night long! Overall, we could not have been more happy with Gary's services and would highly recommend!

    Chagrin Valley Entertainment was HIGHLY recommended to us, and we set up a consultation right away! From our very first meeting, I felt like Gary was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was very professional, genuinely cared about getting to know my now-husband and me as a couple and what our musical tastes were, and provided very helpful, honest advice for what would work and what wouldn’t. He was extremely friendly and easy to work with, very responsive to emails, and went out of his way to meet with me around my busy work schedule. Not only that, but he worked well within our relatively tight budget! On our wedding day, there was the biggest flash flood of the year. From the beginning of the day, we were getting calls about our wedding possibly being cut short or even cancelled. Despite this, remained very professional and calm. He was there very early to set up, worked quickly with the venue and coordinator to move our ceremony setup indoors, and made sure we had everything we needed for our indoor ceremony to be just as wonderful – if not better! – than our planned outdoor one. Throughout the night, we were told on multiple occasions by our venue that, because of the flooding, we’d need to cut our night short by three hours (around 7:30 p.m.). However, Gary worked with the coordinator and venue to help extend our wedding until 10 p.m. Despite the monsoon and small guest count, our dance floor stayed packed the entire night. We were told by several other wedding vendors that they’d never seen a dance floor stay as energetic and packed as ours. And it was all because of Chagrin Valley Entertainment!!! Not only did he play most of our requested songs, his timing was perfect. He observed the energy of our guests, and from there determined which songs would work best. I can’t say enough great things about Chagrin Valley Entertainment. Gary went above and beyond to make our day extra special. We are so glad we chose him as our DJ!!! He's the best!

    Our wedding location was unique, my husband was moving to Toronto (my hometown) so we wanted to celebrate our marriage in his hometown (Vermilion, OH). This way his family and friends could easily attend!

    This would make the ceremony, day and reception very special, but the wedding planning from another city would be difficult.

    Insert Heidzillas, the wedding planning company that put everything together for us AND RECOMMENDED GARY WENNER as our DJ.

    We hired him after one phone conversation (which sealed the deal right away, his genuine interest on making the day about the couple and the guests came through).

    What we didn't know is that he also has a classy, vintage and epic repertoire of songs that went right with our theme. We had emailed him a couple of ideas of 'songs through the century' and not only had he heard of the obscure ones, but he also loved them!

    We finally got to meet Gary one week before the wedding..was it a huge risk to not have ever have met him and know the day was coming so soon? SUPER YES. DID WE FEEL THAT HE HAD EVERYTHING IN CONTROL, we ware in awesome hands? YES!!!! At the meeting he expressed his musical ideas for the reception (again right with our line of thinking), his high standards/level of class (believing there are songs not appropriate for weddings) and even added some extras (asking for 'one liners' about the wedding party to add some 'spice' to the party's entrance).

    Gary even took the time to come to our reception and go through everything the night before (even though there was a threat of rain- he even took his equipment).

    The night went by swimmingly; I've never seen so many smiles on our friends and family's faces and HONESTLY never seen so many people EAGER to dance..there was no dragging of people on to the dance floor-they were running TO the dance floor!

    Thank you Gary for making our day EVEN THAT MORE SPECIAL!

    All the best, from Canada- Justin and Christina Kurth

    Working with Gary through Chagrin Valley Entertainment was a wonderful experience! Everything from our initial meeting to the big day was a great experience. Gary took our wedding reception in his hands and made sure everything ran smoothly letting us relax and enjoy our big day completely stress free! We had people commenting on how much they enjoyed the music throughout the night. Everything from the dinner music to the dancing music was perfect. People did not want to leave the dance floor! I would highly recommend Chagrin Valley Entertainment for all your DJ needs!

    Gary went out of his way to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted and more. He was not only the dj at our reception but also was the leader of the party & perfect task manager. He was sure to step us aside to let us know the timeline until first dance, cake cutting, etc. which was a huge stressor off our shoulders. We would recommend Gary for everyone and have received countless number of compliments about the awesome party atmosphere. Thank you so much for your great work!
