An Absolute Professional 5 Star Team

We cannot thank Gavin enough for making our wedding at the Santa Barbara Club such an unforgettable night. From the very first meeting, he was incredibly nice to work with and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process.

Gavin was extremely thorough, asking us for specific songs and genres we loved (and just as importantly, what we didn’t!). We had a very specific list of songs for our ceremony and reception, and Gavin delivered everything perfectly. His timing and his ability to control the atmosphere were flawless.

What truly impressed us was how he handled the dance floor. We had a diverse playlist featuring Mandarin, Korean, and English party songs, and Gavin blended them so seamlessly. He kept the energy high and the floor lit—everyone had the best time!

We also added the photo booth service, which was a huge hit. It was so much fun for our guests, and we now have so many wonderful photos to keep as memories.

5 stars to Gavin and his team! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who can truly bring the magic.

The Best DJ in Town!

Everyone, please be aware that Gavin is a Santa Barbara legend. Every single vendor we talked to was so happy when we told them Gavin was DJing our wedding.

While he referenced the playlists that we had created for the vibe of the wedding, he really took it and made it so much fun! I got endless comments about the music and the DJ. Not only is he great at choosing and blending songs together so that it doesn't feel too disjointed -- even when we jumped from bay area hip hop and r&b slow jams, to edm bangers, to 90's pop music -- he also knows how to read the room and make sure that everyone is really having a good time!

He is a seasoned vet and it shows!!

10/10 Experience working with Gavin

Gavin was a wonderful DJ/MC for our wedding! Gavin had great music for the entire reception and guests were all having a great time the entire night. He created a super fun atmosphere, great uplighting that he brought as well.

It was so easy working with Gavin before the wedding as well. He sets up planning meetings so he knows exactly what you want for your wedding day. 10/10 would recommend Gavin as the DJ for your wedding or any event.

Amazing DJ!

Gavin did an amazing job hosting our wedding reception! He handled everything from the music to uplighting to a Photo Booth and it was all perfect! He followed our timeline and was able to be flexible with last minute additions. He incorporated all of our songs and special requests. He mixed the music perfectly and had people on the dance floor all night. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and Gavin was a big part of that! I will use Gavin for all my future events and I highly recommend him!!

Gavin roy is amazing

Music and vibes are incredibly important to us, and let me tell you. Gavin and his team delivered 10 fold. A friend of mine from Santa Barbara area recommended him to me for music. We hired them to DJ and also ended up getting some lights and a Photo Booth as well. It was a highlight! We got rave reviews from guests about how great the music and the DJ were. The lights were beautiful. The photobooth pictures are some of our favorite from the entire wedding. Really top notch service and experience. RECOMMEND!!

Best DJ in Santa Barbara/Montecito!

My [now] husband and I are convinced that Gavin is the best DJ in the Santa Barbara/Montecito area! All we wanted out of our wedding was for our guests to have a fun night of dancing, and he BEYOND delivered. I can't even count how many times we got, "this music is so fun" or "your DJ is awesome" from our guests all through the night! We are still getting getting compliments on how great the music was over a month later.

Gavin was so receptive leading up to our wedding - understanding our extremely ambiguous notes and completely knocking it out of the park! It is very clear that he is the best at what he does.

Gavin's professionalism, communication, energy, and kindness made him a dream to work with and we'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Gavin, for making our big day so memorable for us and all of our friends and family!

Honestly the best

We hired Gavin Roy for our wedding and it was the best thing we ever did. 10000% worth it. Gavin set up two speaker systems, one for our wedding and the other for the reception. I left everything in his hands and it went perfectly. Spencer was our DJ for the night and he was spectacular. He directed the crowd, knew what songs to play and how to read the crowd. He was so fun and entertaining. They both went above and beyond. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Awesome they have samplers for each DJ

We used Gavin Roy Presents for our wedding, ceremony music and reception DJ. For the ceremony we had a harpist and she was great. Our DJ was DJ E-Wrek and he was exceptional. They did a great job mic-ing up the ceremony space as well -- it was an outdoor space in the woods and I was worried people wouldn't be able to hear the officiant and readings. I still have family members and friends say that was the best reception they'd been to based on the DJ's spinning skills. Our E-Wrek was amazing with the music as well as being the MC for the evening and not being cheesy. Communication with the team was prompt and they were really great adding additional services to our original contract (Harpist).

Super Groovy DJ

We have received so many compliments during and after our wedding on our choice of DJ (E-wreck), and we are very happy that we did! We found Gavin Roy Presents via a wedding website, but it turns out that he knew both our wedding coordinator and caterer. Small community! So it was very helpful to have vendors that have worked with each other before. It made myself and my husband feel relaxed that we could hand the reigns over and not worry about it. That’s just what we did! I enjoyed hearing all the music that we spent weekends listening and choosing for our wedding day. Looking back I cannot remember all that was played, but I do remember the important ones like the song during our processional and first dance. I remember screaming and jumping to Shout! And I remember the first song opening the dance floor – Shut up and dance with me. I’ve never seen so many people rush the dance floor before and it was amazing to witness. And our DJ kept up with the dancers the rest of the night! I truly cannot recommend Gavin and DJ E-wreck enough. It’s true that hearing a song can bring back memories, and that’s what happens when I hear these songs. Which is a gift. Thank you!

The best dj!

Gavin was SUCH a pleasure to work with from the beginning to our wedding day! He is so sweet and so easy to work with and flexible. I was absolutely blown away by how much fun everyone had dancing- people were on the dance floor all night and we got so many compliments about him! We sent him Spotify playlists of music we typically enjoy and he crafted the perfect playlist. I also heard great compliments on our singing guitarist Connor who was booked through Gavin's company. I'm just bummed I was busy with everything else and didn't get to enjoy his live music more! Thank you so much!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
