Completely blown away!

We were immediately impressed with Constantine and 74 Events in their professionalism and how they lead us through the process of understanding our music tastes and what we wanted for our wedding. Gary was great in helping us create our own little performance, and in guiding us on how to properly use the mics and integrate with the music. And when the day came, we were completely blown away by just how amazing of a DJ Constantine is! Seriously, incredibly smooth transitions, understanding and moving with the vibe of each part of the wedding, mixing things up to create a new sound for certain songs, it was all great. He is exactly what you would hope for in a DJ, and we had so many people come up to us to tell us how amazing he was. We count ourselves incredibly lucky to have hired them for our wedding and would recommend 74 Events and Constantine in a heartbeat!

Above & beyond

74 events is amazing - the owner Gary is a machine - you will receive replies so fast and clear information & timelines. Our DJ James was not only a smashing success, but a highlight of the evening for us.

Countless guests at the wedding came up to us that night and the next day saying how incredible James was — the transitions, variety of music, and of course, ending the night on New York New York.

On a personal note, we appreciate James going above and beyond just mixing music. He was constantly checking in on us, making sure speakers and our officiant were comfortable and ready, congratulating us, thoughtfully mc-ing all of the speeches, and gearing every decision toward us as a couple — almost as if he’s known us for years!

I highly recommend this team and would book them ASAP!!

Incredible DJ with amazing service!

We had the absolute best experience working with Gary (manager of 74 Events) and DJ Con for our wedding at the Wythe hotel in Brooklyn, NY. From the beginning, Gary took the time to understand the flow of our day and offered thoughtful recommendations based on their extensive wedding experience.

On the day of, DJ Con was incredible. He honored our song list but also threw in a few unexpected gems that were perfectly timed and totally nailed the vibe. He has a true talent for reading the room and kept the dance floor packed all night long. On top of that, he was a fantastic MC—seamlessly guiding the night, announcing speeches, and making sure everyone was exactly where they needed to be.

We truly can’t recommend 74 Events enough. They went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Gary and his army of accomplished DJs from 74 Events are by far the best people I've worked with to spin music for your wedding day! During the planning process, Gary will take excellent care of his couples, and always is prompt with his correspondence! Come wedding day, he selects the absolute best match for your DJ/emcee needs. I've had the pleasure of working with BOTH of his DJs named James - Mulry and Arnold - and felt 100% taken care of by each! Their knowledge of music - both mainstream and obscure (EDM set, anyone?) - runs deep, and they are so smooth with the emcee duties. No one is yelling at you to get on the dance floor here! Do yourself a favor and book them today!

Every time we work with Gary, the planning has been a breeze! His DJs helped me keep the night moving and kept the dance floor full! The last wedding that we worked with Rob, the floor was packed all night long. I have started recommending them to all my clients!
