Excellent and reliable!

Really enjoyed working with Gary. He was very responsive and flexible as we had some last minute changes and he was great. Kept the party going and super personable. I have been to many weddings and Gary is clearly a pro. Choose him!

Such A Fun Night!

Gary was a great DJ who took every one of our requests/wishes and made them come true! He was so kind, inexpensive, and came with great reviews that we knew we'd have to pick him. He called us a few days before the wedding (the only thing I wish was done differently) so we could discuss every song we wanted, how to pronounce people's names, and the order things would go in. I had hired a violinist to surprise my husband and he did a great job of keeping that a secret and even coordinated with her to make it great for us. Every single one of my guests came up to us at the end or over the next few weeks just to tell us what a wonderful time they had and I think it's due to Gary for being a great DJ and keeping the party going.

Gary was wonderful! He was so personable, easy to talk to, and understood everything we wanted. He was able to provide just the right kind of atmosphere for dinner, then a really great variety of dance music that fit our ballroom dancing crowd. He was very professional, announcing the bridal party and encouraging the dancing without talking too much! He's the best! I would definitely hire him again!

Very experienced DJ. Also up to do different things to make the event more special. Provided a bat signal effect for my daughter's wedding per our request. He was incredibly sensitive to the sudden loss of a close family member who was supposed to in the wedding party.

100 times over and we would choose Gary every time! He read the crowd SO well as made sure everyone kept dancing! We are over the moon with his fun and professionalism throughout the entire reception. Almost everyone danced AND continued to dance! Perfect songs at the perfect time. He made the evening very memorable. HIGHLY recommend!

Gary completely nailed our wedding. We had a couple phone calls prior to the wedding to discuss what we wanted and didn't want. He listened to everything we said and made recommendations as well. He played all of the songs we requested and none of the ones we did not want to hear. He kept the flow of the wedding going the entire night. I had multiple people give compliments about the DJ after the wedding. We were unsure if people were going to dance at all, but the dance floor ended up being the highlight of the evening. Thanks again Gary!!!

My guests raved about his music selection. For some good humor, he even threw in "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" as the rain sprinkled down on our dance floor. And many continued to dance while Gary's music never stopped! He arrived hours before the event and was totally self-sufficient with his own tent and table. Book him!

Gary travelled to Nags Head, NC to DJ our wedding. He set up speakers on the beach for our ceremony, did uplighting and hung cafe lights in reception room, which all looked great! He was very professional and kept the party going. I highly recommend him!

Gary Gauldin goes the extra mile for his clients! Our son and his bride-to-be had a wedding scheduled on October 9 in Nags Head, North Carolina and despite a challenging situation and a tropical storm prediction, Gary insisted on honoring his commitment and headed out to do the event. We had told him we were currently without power the morning of the wedding, but he replied he had a generator that would play his equipment. Well not only did he manage to arrive with a generator large enough to run the whole house, but he also stayed an extra day as the wedding was delayed due to the effects of Hurricane Mathew. While not the wedding we had envisioned, it was wonderful, intimate and lovely and our guests danced the night away! Gary did a wonderful and professional job - going way above and beyond what we had any right to expect from any vendor. I recommend him highly for a fun, and professionally done event!

Since 2004, I have had the opportunity to work with DJ Gary Gauldin, both in a DJ capacity and also working for his event production company for 6+ years. A lot of the knowledge I have gained comes from him and his company. In short, DJ Gary Gauldin has been a great mentor to me. His knowledge of music and keen song selection ability make him a DJ favorite in Richmond and beyond. If a client asks me for a date on which I'm already booked, he is getting the referral.
