About

Your wedding deserves more than someone who simply plays music. At Phase 2 Events, I create personalized wedding entertainment experiences that keep dance floors packed from the first song to the last. Whether you're looking for an elegant DJ experience or my signature Hybrid or Live Fusion featuring live saxophone, electric violin, guitar, or drums, every celebration is tailored specifically to you and your guests.

Because every wedding deserves my full attention, I intentionally limit the number of celebrations I accept each year. From your first consultation through your final dance, you'll work directly with me every step of the way.

A great wedding reception is about more than great music. I work behind the scenes with your venue, planner, photographer, and other vendors to keep everything organized, every transition smooth, and your guests engaged, so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Phase 2 Events also offers enhancements including professional uplighting, intelligent lighting, cold spark fountains, custom monograms, photo booths, live video display systems, and more to create a truly one-of-a-kind celebration.

What Makes Phase 2 Events Different

We’re not a DJ factory.
You’re not getting a random name off a roster – you’re working directly with Gaetano and a curated team of professionals who take pride in delivering personalized, unforgettable experiences.

No middlemen. No inflated prices.
Unlike large agencies that tack on 30–50% in fees, we keep it direct. You get top-tier talent without the markup. Real value, real connection.

Live music, evolved.
From solo sax to hybrid bands we blend live energy with modern DJ versatility. It’s not just music, it’s a performance.

Boutique by design.
We intentionally take on a limited number of events each year, allowing us to provide a level of personalization, communication, and attention to detail that larger entertainment companies simply can’t match.

Client-first, always.
We work closely with you and your vendor team to make sure the entertainment complements your vision, not competes with it.

The best decision!!!

DJ Gaetano was SO easy to work with! He was professional, responsive, and helped make the planning process easy. He clearly cares about doing a good job and creating a fun experience for the couple and their guests. He was knowledgeable and offered suggestions while still allowing us to choose music that reflected our personalities and making the night our own. We were very happy with our decision to work with him and would definitely recommend him to other couples!! Many of our guest raved about him and our music so we hope to see DJ Gaetano at future weddings!!!!

Wedding DJ + Musicians Review

DJ Gaetano and the live musicians (Brian Fitzy, Sax Man Art, and Dooder) did an incredible job from start to finish! They listened to exactly what we wanted and played the music we loved all night, while still keeping the energy and vibes going throughout the entire evening. The music really helped make the night unforgettable and they did a fantastic job reading the crowd and keeping everyone having a great time. The live musicians added such a special touch and just really brought an elevated experience to the night. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to keep the party going. Professional, talented, fun, and truly a huge part of what made our wedding so amazing!

HIGHLY recommend!

DJ Gaetano and Brian Fitzy absolutely exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding! From the moment the music started until the very last song, they kept the dance floor completely packed. Gaetano did an incredible job reading the crowd, seamlessly mixing songs, and creating the perfect energy throughout the entire night.

Brian Fitzy’s electric violin performance took everything to another level. He was so talented, engaging, and brought such a unique energy that made our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception unforgettable. Watching him perform while interacting with our guests created some of our favorite memories of the night, our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!

Together, they made the atmosphere electric and truly turned our wedding into the best party we’ve ever been to. If you’re looking for entertainment that will wow your guests and keep everyone dancing all night long, look no further. We couldn’t recommend Gaetano and Brian Fitzy more highly—they were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Dj gaetano - the best!

DJ Gaetano was an absolute pleasure to work with! He djed 3 of our friends wedding and by the time it was our turn, he was an obvious choice. He was the first vendor I booked! He caters to the crowd perfectly and brings an immaculate vibe! He is extremely professional and responsive. He answered all my questions and executed our wedding day flawlessly. We added the drummer Dooder also! He was INCREDIBLE! He created such a fun atmosphere and the way he is able to play off of what Gaetano is amazing. We got so many compliments for having him as he was so unique! I HIGHLY recommend Gaetano for any event you’re having. He made our day SO FUN and I couldn’t image the day without him! If you’re on the fence with DJs, let this be your sign. THIS IS YOUR DJ. He will not disappoint! Thank you Gaetano and Dooder for the best day ever :)

Book him!!!

We had a great experience with DJ Gaetano. From the very beginning, he was communicative and easy to work with, guiding us through each step of the planning process. He was collaborative, open to our ideas, and also offered helpful insights when we needed direction.

He provided great add-on options and had an amazing network of connections. We booked a saxophonist through him, Alex Blade Silver, which ended up being a huge hit with our guests. (also highly recommend)Throughout the night, he checked in with us to confirm any small changes and made sure everything stayed on track, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying about the details.

Overall, he went above and beyond to make our day special, and we’re so grateful for his professionalism, flexibility, and energy. Highly recommend!

10/10 recommend - no notes

DJ Gaetano was absolutely incredible as our wedding DJ. From the very beginning, he was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. His talent speaks for itself! He kept the dance floor packed all night and knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy high.

He handled every detail related to sound and music seamlessly across the entire day, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. We specifically wanted a Miami nightclub vibe, and it truly felt like we were stepping into an upscale club for our reception.

The lighting setup and the addition of a live saxophone player (ART) took everything to the next level and created such a unique, electric atmosphere. One of the most unforgettable moments was our entrance to “Jubel” the energy was unreal, and you could feel the excitement throughout the entire room. People still talk about the goosebumps they had in that moment.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Highly recommend DJ Gaetano for anyone looking to elevate their event and create an unforgettable experience.

Just book them

I can’t even explain how amazing DJ Gaetano was - from the very moment we booked them till the wedding he was responsive and was with me through whole planning process. He made our night amazing & stress free. We also used him for the Photo Booth, the sax player, the sparklers & the letters. Just do yourself the favor and book him. He made our wedding night unforgettable.

Amazing dj!

DJ Gaetano is an exceptional DJ to work with - we could not have asked for a better experience! From the start, he was extremely helpful and open to finding out what music would make our wedding day perfect. DJ Gaetano handled all of our special requests with kindness and ease; his communication skills are excellent. On the day of our wedding, DJ Gaetano kept our friends and family on the dance floor. He is excellent at reading the crowd and knowing just the song to play next. I recommend him for weddings and other special events in the highest of terms!
