Best dj ever-seriously

Gary at 74 Events is fantastic. Super professional, attentive, and he paired me with the PERFECT dj for my wedding- Preston! Preston was unreal, played hit after hit, and read the vibe of the crowd flawlessly. I can't recommend them enough. Truly a 10/10 experience

We loved working with Gary and DJ James Arnold!

If you're looking for a DJ to make your wedding unforgettable and get everyone on the dance floor then you should 100% hire James Arnold from 74 Events.

From the moment that we began planning our wedding and decided to work with 74 events, Gary (the owner of 74 Events) made the entire process seamless and stress-free. 74 Events was on our venue’s preferred vendor list. After our first conversation with Gary, we could see that he was extremely professional, organized, and responsive, which made us feel confident with selecting them for our wedding. We were very impressed with how quickly we heard back from Gary and how easy it was to get answers to our questions. We were also able to lean on Gary and James’ years of expertise when figuring out some final details for our wedding, which we greatly appreciated.

James did an absolutely impeccable job curating the music for the evening. He was able to work with our wide variety of musical tastes and list of favorite artists and effortlessly weaved them all in throughout the evening. James truly exceeded our expectations and we could not be any happier. There was something for everyone and the dance floor was packed. Everyone was raving about James!

Having the right music at a wedding is so important and James nailed it. He did an amazing job reading the crowd and all of the transitions between songs were flawless.

Thank you, Gary and James, for helping us have such an amazing wedding.

Exceptional DJ

Working with Gary was wonderful - he was very professional, proactive and helpful. We always felt like we were in very good hands. We were paired with DJ Kahn.
We had several of our wedding guests throughout the wedding and the week after specifically compliment the music. Con did an amazing job throughout the night and got the exact vibes we wanted. His live mixing made it so special and cool. Our dance floor was FULL and our guests were totally jamming. He definitely understood the tone we wanted throughout different phases of the night from ceremony to the last song and he NAILED it.

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!
