    The Best Night of Our Lives!!

    I couldn't rave any more than I already do about Gerry and the entire Golden Note team!! Everyone was so kind and wonderful to work with throughout every step of the process - from meeting Gerry in our inquiry call, to making our payments, getting set up in their portal, going over our timeline, and the day of - every single person we worked with was spectacular! Their energy is incredible, and they are the best at keeping everyone on the dance floor all night - I still have friends comment about how fun our reception was!! I also loved having a portal throughout the planning process so we could add our must play & do not play songs, and every part of our day was there for us to fill in with our desired choices. It made everything so seamless and perfect, and we can't thank the Golden Note team enough for making our day the best of our lives!!!

    You can't go wrong with Gerry and his team!!

    I highly recommend choosing Golden Note Entertainment for your wedding or event. Gerry and his team at Golden Note made helped make our wedding so incredibly special. My friends and family are still RAVING about the music and the DJ three weeks later!!!!

    We had a meeting with Gerry about a year before our wedding to get a feel for if we were the right vibe. We could tell right away that he indeed was! On our initial call, he listened to all of our ideas that we had for our wedding and had such a wonderful conversation with us. I love that he really took the time to listen to us and get to know us right from the start before we'd even agreed to hire his team. We loved his wonderful energy and knew this would be the perfect fit. We were absolutely correct because Gerry is the perfect example of someone who is dedicated to his profession. He would frequently check in with us via email or text to see how things were going which was so thoughtful. He even sent us shirts with the Golden Note Entertainment Logo!!

    We loved how easy the portal was to use to plan out our ceremony and reception. Gerry met with us a few weeks before our wedding to make sure that we were all on the same page, he went through all of our song selections with us and made a list of things we still needed to fix or change. His office made sure to follow up frequently and he did as well.

    The night of the wedding (what really matters!!), he brought the best energy and a wonderful team to help him out. (Talin & Danielle THANKS GUYS!!) They all worked so hard to ensure our night was so special. My husband and I had choreographed our first dance and our DJ took time to make sure that it was going to go exactly as planned and it did. We are so happy that we picked Golden Note Entertainment as they went above and beyond to make our wedding the best night for us.

    A Golden Experience!

    I met with several DJs before hiring Golden Note Entertainment. Golden Note stuck out to me because they were so easy to talk to and were 'no frills'. While Golden Note Entertainment offers a wide variety of bells and whistles at a great price, I wanted plain and simple for my wedding. Just some good music and a good personality for my guests and they more than delivered that! They didn't try to upsell me like other DJs or try to put me down by saying I'm a "very basic bride". They were very professional from the minute I spoke with the owner Gerry, all the way until the end my wedding. They sent emails throughout the process just checking in and with fun countdowns to the big day. Jillian, who is the office manager is also AMAZING! She was so helpful in answering questions through the process and helped me navigate and understand the portal to input my wedding details and music. She was also just a really kind person who listened and helped take the stress off of me during the wedding planning process. Jim was our DJ. He was awesome and so much fun! He really took the time to learn about us as a couple and brought so much energy the night of the wedding! We have guests asking us who we had for a DJ because they were so incredible. I can't recommend them enough!

    Friendly & Fun

    The staff at Golden Note are amazing from the moment you inquire about their services til after your event is over! Jillian helps make everything go so smoothly and she checks up on you throughout the process up until your event. We had Gerry the owner as our MC and he was very personable. He makes sure your event goes exactly as you want it to and checks in throughout your event to make sure you are happy! Our event was so much fun and we loved working with Golden Note!

    Amazing Professionalism

    Golden Note Entertainment is a family company. They make you feel welcome and included from day 1. We used Gerry as our DJ and MC for the reception. The planning process was easy, fun and stress free. Gerry could not have been better keeping our guests dancing all night long, adapting to last minute requests from us and being wonderful with everyone who told us they had interactions with any of the GN team. We highly recommend GN for your occasions and couldn't be happier with our day.

    An Entertainment Package from a Movie

    I cannot begin to sum up how perfect Gerry and Golden Note made our wedding day. From the beautifully delivered ceremony music, to the cocktail hour through the reception, Gerry gave us a night we will never forget. Starting with a custom song switch to surprise my father and high energy keeping our guests (and bride and groom!) on the floor all night, the lights, dancing on the clouds and cold sparkling fountains, we felt like something out of a movie. Thank you so much for not only understanding what we were looking for, but also for knowing what we couldn't even communicate and giving us the most memorable and magical night. The open air Photo Booth had everyone entertained and the photos we will treasure forever. I can't recommend Golden Note enough. There will never be enough words to truly display or communicate the joy you gave us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Best DJ you. could ask for

    Golden Note really helped us have the most amazing wedding. Gerry was amazing. I had multiple people come up to me during the wedding to say they had never seen so many people on the dance floor and that the playlist was on fire. Gerry also went above and beyond. My family is from Egypt and Gerry went out of his way to find and purchased all of my requested Arabic music! I would highly recommend Golden Note for your wedding and if I ever have a big celebration I would 100% use them again!

    Consummate Professionals

    We used Golden Note Entertainment to DJ our small wedding this fall at the W Hotel in Hoboken. Gerry also served as our officiant. In both roles, Gerry and his team were consummate professionals. We were impressed with his thoroughness and attention to detail in every step of the process. He helped us to create a thoughtful wedding ceremony, and he handled some external difficulties at the wedding site with aplomb. We also entrusted him completely to read the room and play to the crowd, which he did wonderfully. Working with Golden Note was a great pleasure and we are happy to recommend them.

    Amazing DJ!!

    Choosing the right DJ for your wedding is so important and lucky for us, we made the best choice by going with Golden Note. Gerry is amazing to work with and cares about his clients.

    During our first meeting, his energy really caught us as well as his knowledge of Portuguese music since my husband wanted to ensure his Portuguese heritage was incorporated in our wedding celebration.

    As we approached the wedding day, Gerry worked closely with us to finalize and understand all of our music selections.

    On our wedding day, the dance floor was never empty! We even skipped the formal cake cutting since all of our guests were enjoying the dance floor so much. Four months later and people still talk about how great our DJ was and our friends have even booked Gerry for their 2024 wedding! We highly recommend Golden Note for a memorable night!

    Amazing company - could not have asked for a better DJ at our wedding!

    We used Golden Note for our wedding on July 20. Jillian and the team were very responsive and easy to coordinate with. The online portal is awesome.
    Our DJ Jim was fantastic and really kept the good energy rolling throughout the reception. Cannot recommend enough!

    The golden note team was amazing! They were very responsive especially Jillian! Everyone on the team was so nice and helpful and they really appealed to the crowd which is what we wanted! Everyone said our wedding was the BEST Wedding they've been too! they were even very accommodating to make our day the best for us. We asked if they can play extra photos and videos in memory of our parents and they were more than accommodating. I would definitely recommend Golden Note they made our day absolutely perfect!!

    Jillian and Bill were amazing!!

    We had a wonderful experience with Golden Note for our wedding this past May! They were amazing and made us feel so comfortable and at ease during this super stressful time. Our wedding went perfectly and I wouldn’t change a thing! Jillian did our “dancing on a cloud” which was amazing! She also spent so much time talking with me prior to our wedding. She was amazing and so helpful!! Bill was our DJ, he was fantastic! He listened to us and did every single thing we asked him to do! We had a great time with the Golden Note team! I would recommend them to anyone looking for their wedding day entertainment!

    Unbelievably amazing

    Golden Note was absolutely incredible! The owner of the company and our officiant, Gerry, has a process, style, and professionalism that made our event special. He took care, time, and effort to get to know us as a couple and create a service that was perfect for our ceremony. Our guests raved about him and several asked if he was a member of our family because of how natural and engaging he was. Our DJ Jim did a tremendous job, flawlessly coordinating our music just as we planned, providing helpful and invaluable suggestions as we planned our event and invigorated our event with an amazing interactive dance that is truly one of a kind. The support staff, including Juan, Denielle, Talon, and Everett were also excellent. I can't recommend Gerry and Golden Note any more highly!

    Amazing!

    Our best friends got married last year and had the pleasure of having Golden Note DJ their wedding and after that we knew that's who we were going to have DJ for us! Gerry was our DJ as well as our officiant for our wedding and I can't express enough what an amazing job he did as both. They are all so personable and caring and matched our personalities so well! Gerry had everyone laughing the entire time! He made the night absolutely unforgettable! We received so many compliments and positive feedback from our guests before the reception even started! If you need a DJ for your wedding or any event for that matter, Golden Note is hands down the best. Thank you Gerry for making our wedding night absolutely perfect! You killed it!!!!

    Gerry and the Golden Note family was one of if not the most integral part of our big day. All I can say is thank you bro.

    Gerry and the Golden Note family. Where do I start? They are what you would call a magical experience. The ceremony was hands down one of the best I have personally experienced, we, I, everyone was in awe. The little things, (first kiss photo) the big things, professionalism, humor, class, beauty, and above all just from the heart. I really can’t thank you enough. I reached out to Gerry a few days after to personally thank him. It was an amazing day what I would do to highly recommend them to anyone on the fence

    Wedding DJ

    We're so happy with everything golden note provided! Jim was a great MC and had the crowd dancing all night! He played songs we had requested in addition to "feeling the crowed" for a good song! I'm so happy with the way it all turned out and the guests (all ages) were dancing (which was my main goal). We cannot say enough great things about the MC (Jim) and the company!!!!

    The best of the best

    When they say "welcome to the golden note family," they mean it. From the very first phone call I had with Jillian and Gerry I knew I was talking to my type of people.  Throughout the months of planning and many phone calls back-and-forth,  I always felt like I was speaking to my friends. They were consistently helpful not only with ideas and coordinating my wedding day seamlessly, but Jillian is a great source of knowledge for all types of wedding vendors - I found my photographer through her recommendation!
    After speaking with Gerry, I was immediately at ease, so much so that I gave him free range for my big day and put all of my trust in him, after all he is a pro! He did not disappoint, let me tell you!!!!! He exceeded all of my expectations and had the majority of the guests up and dancing all night long. He helped me pull off my surprise song choice for my ceremony entrance, and then the tables turned and he had a surprise for me himself. My parents had called him, unbeknownst to me, and changed the song for the Father-Daughter dance. I will never forget the words he said when he announced to the room filled with 180 people that mean the world to me that he and my parents were in cahoots. It was the most emotional part of the day for me, and my very favorite, even though I was in tears (yes, full blown ugly crying y'all.) Then it occurred to me that my favorite moments wouldn't have existed had I not given this God of a DJ and entertainer all of my trust. If you're thinking about hiring Golden Note for your big day, this is your sign - don't think twice, DO IT! I cannot thank Gerry and Jillian enough for helping me pull of the wedding of my dreams, nor can I say enough about how truly incredible they are; not just at their craft, but on a personal level as well, this business is run by the best damned people around. I adore them, and I have no doubt that you will too. I'm proud to be a golden gal!

    The time of our lives!

    Golden Note Entertainment was amazing from day 1! After our initial zoom call with Gerry, we knew he was the one for us. It was a nice bonus that they also offer officiant services, which we did use. Leading up to the wedding they made the process so easy for us through an online portal. It was stress free and ideal for wedding planning!

    Jillian is an absolute doll! She is so sweet and responsive. We had a little issue with our marriage license (our town dropped the ball here, NOT Golden Note - they were amazing and helpful). Jillian kept us updated and reassured us that everything was going to be fine. We appreciate her so much!

    Gerry is amazing as an officiant and DJ! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. During our cocktail hour guests were complimenting the ceremony saying how beautiful and fun it was. They were so excited when we told them that Gerry was also our DJ and he would be there with us the rest of the night! Throughout the night Gerry played music for everyone. He had people dancing all night! We received so much positive feedback from our guests and my husband and I had the time of our lives. I would recommend Golden Note Entertainment, specifically Gerry, to anyone!

    It was perfect

    The entire experience with Gerry and his company was so comforting and helpful, it made the stress of our wedding and reception truly joyous, and almost carefree . Their extensive experience and concern aided us in ensuring that it all was PERFECT! The advice re: decorations, our choice of music with Gerry's tweaking, his MC talent with his DJ assistant, all made it such a fabulous time for us and our guests. As our officiant, Gerry gave our guests a beautiful and emotional view of our love and allowed us to shine, even between our tears. At the reception, we laughed and cried and danced all night as did our guests to music we ALL loved. Gerry made us feel like family. Our guests have not stopped complementing us on the ceremony and the fabulous music and dancing they all did all night! How it was all SO RIGHT
    and PERFECT! Thank you Gerry and Golden Note Entertainment

    We booked Golden Note for our photo booth and our guests had a BLAST. Bri and Jillian were amazing attendants for the photo booth, encouraged everyone to get in and take tons of photos, and put together a book of all of the strips of photos. I also loved getting the digital copies of all of the photos (for the photos that guests didn't like enough to book in the book... usually the most hilarious ones!). Definitely book Golden Note!
