10/10 experience! Awesome DJ!

10/10 experience working with Jared of Gatsby Sound & Lighting. I was extremely picky when it came to selecting our wedding DJ because I really wanted to keep our dance floor packed. Once we had our first conversation with Jared, I knew we found the perfect DJ. He is professional, responsive, and extremely talented at what he does. The app he uses is awesome and makes planning easy. Every single song he played during our wedding was a hit with our guests! He read the room amazingly. He was also an excellent MC during the formalities and his setup is sleek and modern. Several friends asked for his contact information after our wedding! He also helped with the mics and speakers for our ceremony, which was an added bonus. If you are looking for a wedding DJ, look no further!

Jared was great to work with and ensured that everyone had a great time. He was responsive and his planning app helped us so much in choosing songs to request. My husband (!!!) and I would absolutely recommend choosing Jared to be your wedding DJ! Thanks so much, Jared!

Gatsby was the best

Jared from Gatsby Sound and Lighting was great for our wedding. Was willing to meet and chat with us several times. The app to coordinate songs and general wedding agendas was detailed, intuitive, and painless. We were planning the wedding from across the country, so the great communication was extremely helpful. And he was able to accommodate for any last minute change of plans.

As far as the actual event, everybody raved about the photobooth and DJ. Great songs, lighting, transitions, and special accommodations. The wedding went perfectly, thanks in large part to Gatsby Sound and Lighting!

Gatsby Freaking Killed It

Jared was absolutely amazing to work with for every aspect of our wedding. Planning was a breeze with him and he took the time to explain his process and style. Super friendly on the phone and in person. Responded quickly to the few questions we had along the way. We liked that he's the person who will be DJing your event which isn't the case with some others in the area. Jared kept the dance floor packed all night long and all our guests had a blast!! We'd 100% book him again for future events in the area. Our other vendors agreed he's the best in the area.

I’d highly recommend

Jared was amazing! He had our guests dancing all night. After the wedding, all our guests were raving about our dj and music. I can’t say enough how happy we were with him! Even leading up to the wedding, he provides you an app to fill in your song choices and timing which made it so easy to coordinate everything and answered any questions or concerns we had throughout. We’re so grateful we hired him and I’d recommend him to everyone!

10 out of 10 would party again!!

Jared was a BLAST to be around! Making our first dance so special with “Dancing on a Cloud” feature made our guests jaws DROP!
He made our reception hopping the second our guests arrived to the moment the doors closed!! We had guests who hadn’t danced in years hop from their seats to join the fun!! So incredibly luck to of booked him! If you need someone to make your event fun, look no further than Gatsby Sound & Lighting!!!

Working with Dj Gatsby was by far the easiest part of planning our wedding .
From the time we biked with him until the day of nothing far from exceptional .
I loved how he provided a app so you have options to up load your favorite songs.
He played the best music and out guest are still talking about him .
We had so much fun in the photo booth not to mention the amazing up lighting he provided .
He was amazing at keeping up our time line to the minute .
I would highly recommend him to everyone getting married .
Thank you so much 😊

Everything we could have asked for and more!

Jared was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He truly knew how to keep the party going, and our guests were on the dance floor all night long. Besides just being great at the music choices and transitions, Jared did an incredible job at keeping the evening flowing, and never missed an announcement or cue. In our research to find a wedding DJ, we kept finding two types - the one who's incredibly over-the-top and makes themselves the center of attention, and the one who is opposite and clearly uncomfortable speaking into the microphone. Jared is the perfect blend of the two - he has the perfect presence for weddings, being able to pump up the crowd while simultaneously keeping the attention on whatever is happening. Additionally, he is clearly very knowledgeable about his art and technology, as his lighting and sound quality were perfect. We even got to personalize a logo that was projected on the wall! And finally, Jared runs an incredibly professional business. This was immediately shown by how helpful and straight forward his website is, and the rest of the booking and planning process with him was the same. The app he uses for planning the day is absolutely incredible - we were able to pick our music for every single moment of the wedding, add name pronunciations, change the order of events, etc. Oh, and the photobooth was SO much fun too! Jared's wife, Dominique, ran the booth for our wedding, and she was so incredibly nice and helpful. Our guests absolutely loved both the still photos and the GIFs, along with the fact that they got to send them directly to their phones (and I got to see ALL of them). Bottom line, if you want a DJ who keeps your guests dancing, gives you an incredibly customizable experience, and is amazing to work with, hire Gatsby Sound and Lighting!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
