Perfection!

Chris and Matt were absolutely phenomenal! Firstly they traveled all the way to Vermont for us & we’re incredibly flexible and accommodating to all our needs! No issues at all, they set up and had everything figured out in a totally new place! They made all of our requests a major priority and communicated with us from day 1 all the way until the wedding was over! Chris and Matt make such a great team and they were the talk of the wedding at the happy hour when they performed the entire time and transitioned into the DJ portion at the reception! We couldn’t recommend them enough! They are both amazing at what they do and are considerate and incredibly helpful! Every guest raved about them & we as a couple were so happy with our choice!! Best wedding ever! We loved them!!

Wedding 7/14/23

Chris was wonderful to work with from start to finish. When first reaching out to inquire about his services, we were highly impressed with his response time and willingness to meet with us. We first went to one of Chris’ shows to watch him perform and then knew for sure we would want him singing for our cocktail hour and dinner. Chris was always very relaxed, in a positive and professional manner, assuring us that we were in good hands at all times. Chris and guitarist Matt kept the dance floor full throughout the entirety of the night and did a great job reading the crowd! We are so grateful to have had them a part of our day and would highly recommend them to others looking for a nice mix of live and DJ’d music!

Chris Giakas
Chris Giakas
Owner

Chris Giakas is a professional wedding MC/Coordinator, singer, and guitarist from New Jersey. He began singing at a young age and was first inspired by Elvis Presley and early rock and roll. By high school, Chris learned various instruments such as the Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, and Mandolin. While attending college at Fairleigh Dickinson University he closely studied opera as well as crooning music like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many more. After graduating college, Chris founded Galavant Entertainment and continued his music career by performing countless shows and now emcees and sings at weddings all over the NJ/NY Tri-State area.

Chris often gets hired to play acoustic guitar for ceremonies and cocktail hours and then MC and DJ weddings. He then continues to bring that special live element in as he croons the classics while you eat. In addition, Chris' voice adapts to every different genre there is. His endearing friendliness, versatile skill set, and attention to detail make him the kind of special triple “threat talent” that we’re all about here at Galavant.
