I am a wedding photographer, I have worked and recommended Gary for over a decade. He is one of the best DJ's in the Hudson Valley. The thing I like best about his style is he doesn't "scream on the mic" (trust me you will get a headache by the end of the night with the screamers). Gary gets the crowd going and the party moving with giveaways and feeling the vibe of the crowd. Highly recommend

I can't say enough good things about Gary! He did my cousin Katrina's wedding last August and once I was engaged I knew he was the DJ I wanted. Once everyone got on the dance floor Gary made sure they did not leave. We were having such an amazing time with him we even asked him to stay for 2 extra hours! If you want a wedding where you dance the night away Gary is the DJ to go with. He was also super flexible when we had last minute changes with our announcement line up and did fantastic. I would 100% recommend him for any event, he was amazing!

This was the 3rd event that we have had Gary Whitaker DJ for us and once again he crushed it! Gary is professional, organized and offers ideas to make your special day one to remember. He has this innate ability to read the room and react to the group with an enormous selection of music that gets everyone on the floor
Highly recommend this very talented and courteous music man for any party/wedding/social event that you are hosting.

DJ Gary was fantastic! He was very organized, easy to work with, communicative, and fun. He stayed in touch with us the entire time and was extremely well prepared. Made planning the day and reception super easy and intuitive. We got a ton of compliments from our guests after the big day about how fun and awesome he was. He did a great job of reading the room and keeping the energy at the right spot the whole night. Would definitely recommend.

Our wedding was on August 3rd, 2019. We would highly recommend DJ Gary Whitaker for your wedding or any special event. He is very thorough, tentative to our requests, and professional. He had everyone out on the dance floor all night. Overall he’s a great DJ and if we ever need to hire a DJ again we for an event. We would hire him again without hesitation! Thank you Gary for making our special day a memorable one!
Love,
The Shellman’s

Our family has been using DJ Gary Whitaker for 20 years. With each new engaged couple in our family Gary is recommended every time and he never disappoints. He responds to emails quickly and is thorough in planning reception details and timeline. We gave him a list of songs we liked for both cocktail hour and reception and he filled in with similar songs that were spot on. The dance floor was packed the entire night with slow songs incorporated just at the right times. He was accommodating to our special dance requests and timing of the dances. We will be recommending Gary to all future brides we know!

Our experience with Gary was excellent!! He is very organized, efficient and friendly. All of my guests had a blast with the music. I would definitely recommend Gary to a friend, he is the real deal for sure—a true professional.

Gary takes his time to get to know you and always asks what you want. He is incredibly flexible and is willing to listen and change if need be. We had a problem with one of our other vendors before speaking with Gary and Gary put us at ease. His level of professionalism can't be beat!

Hiring Gary was one of the best things we could of done for our wedding. He was recommended though a friend of his my parents had met at a wedding expo. He was so helpful and flexible since we were planning our wedding from Florida and we'd get married in NY. He was so helpful with making our playlist and really listened to what we wanted. He had great party favors that everyone loved! He even helped my Husband do a surprise song for me at the wedding. Gary was amazing and really gave life to our wedding!

Gary was a fantastic DJ for our wedding. He responded right away and offered to come out to our house to meet with us. He was very organized and answered all of our questions. We were provided with very extensive lists of songs to choose from but he also let us provide him with a list of songs that were special to us and wanted played at the wedding. He followed up with us every once in a while to see if there was anything we needed from him and he even came out the day before the wedding to check out the venue so that he would know how and where to set up. We had an outdoor wedding on our family farm and unfortunately it ended up pouring that day. The field was muddy and on a hill and not the easiest to get to but Gary got there and was able to get his equipment there too without complaint and he made it a great time for us. Everyone commented on how good the music was and what a great time they had. Gary was great to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone planning their wedding.
