Would Hire Again!! Fantastic!!!

DJ John Gallagher did an INCREDIBLE job at our recent wedding! John is super responsive, listens carefully to his client's wants, and executes perfection! Due to COVID, our wedding plans evolved dramatically and ever so quickly. John kept in touch with us the entire roller coaster ride through, even stepped in last minute when we had no music for our sudden ceremony change and made the ceremony beautiful with our custom list! John is very well connected and we hired other amazing professionals based on his recommendations. Although our wedding planning had a lot of bumps in the road due to COVID, we slept well knowing John would take care of us and we were in good hands with him. John bent over backwards to help us on more than one occasion. Our guests told us over and over "Your DJ is INCREDIBLE"!! We can't thank John enough for the wonderful job and exceptional music!!!

Ringing in 2020!

We can not thank John and Becky enough for the amazing music and fun photobooth at our New Year's Eve wedding! John totally nailed our vision for cocktail hour and dinner, and the dance floor was packed the whole night which speaks for itself! I myself could not stay off the dance floor! His resources online made it super convenient to make up song request lists and event timelines at your own pace. They are simply the best at organizing everyone, keeping the night on track, and making sure the party is hopping!!

Absolutely amazing

John was amazing! He really makes sure your special day is exactly how you want it. He really knows how to keep the party going. Not once did we have an empty dance floor!

A true professional & absolutely amazing DJ

We hired John Gallagher as our DJ for our wedding reception. He was absolutely amazing. The first time meeting John was enjoyable and he made it easy to plan the flow of our entire night. He custom tailored the music to our tastes from smooth jazz during the cocktail/dinner hour to pumping up the dance floor for the final hour. Everyone was complementing on how great the music was and the dance floor was never empty! John is a true professional and made our event one to remember!

Hiring John as our wedding DJ was the best decision we made. We were planning our wedding long distance but he was complexity flexible to meet with us when we were in the area. He even drove to Meadville the day before Christmas to plan with us in person, then met again via Skype shortly before the wedding to finalize details. When we had to make a last minute venue change, he took it upon himself to go visit the knew venue ahead of time so he would be prepared. He did a fantastic job emceeing the evening and kept the dance floor packed all night! We had a few requests for editing songs and he followed through with every single request. If you want your reception to be a party you, your friends and family will always remember, booking John is a no-brainer.

John Gallagher gave an exceptional wedding DJ performance at our wedding in February! He was very flexible with getting together with us and very organized with our 'last minute bridal party changes!' He kept our guests dancing all night long! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ/MC!
Thank you for being a part of our perfect day!!

John was very professional from the very beginning! Living in Pittsburgh was no problem for him, as he was accommodating with a very detailed phone conversation during the planning process. Our venue looked absolutely magical with his white uplighting and our "dancing on a cloud" came out great in our wedding video. The music was a great mix for our guests and kept the dance floor busy all night. Thank you again John!

I'm very happy to have the opportunity to provide John with the glowing review he deserves. My husband and I decided to contact John after he came highly recommended by several friends. I cannot stress enough how perfect he made our wedding day. From the lighting to entertaining our guests, John really went above and beyond. As a bride, the planning process was extremely stressful. John put my mind at ease right away and I knew I didn't have anything to worry about when it came to our DJ that night. He is very professional, made sure to take down all of the names in our bridal party and made sure he knew how to pronounce them, and even made suggestions that helped us plan our reception. We received many compliments on our DJ choice. I would recommend John to anyone looking for a professional, fun and entertaining DJ! Best in the business!

We did most of our planning for our PA wedding from Florida and John was great with working with us. He has online planning tools that really cover every musical aspect of the wedding. As soon as we relocated back to PA John met with us to go over everything in person.
On our wedding day we had to move our ceremony inside due to weather and John made sure he was in contact with me (the bride) during the morning to make adjustments and make the wedding great. He suggested having our uplighting on during the ceremony to set the mood since we would be losing the lakeside background we had planned. He was fantastic during the ceremony and reception keeping everything moving and making sure everyone was having fun.
Great additional things that he offers is the free uplighting and the "love story" which our guests really enjoyed. We still get compliments today (3 months later) about how great he was with music choices and volume (especially during dinner). He is very professional, friendly, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

DJ John was the best! He was very responsive to every question we had, and was great at coaching us through what needed to be planned. His online planning portal made everything so easy - we knew exactly what "events" during the reception we needed to pick music for, and we planned the exact timeline we wanted for our reception. We don't live in Erie, but John was always easy to reach, by phone and email, and always responded immediately to our requests and questions. He made our wedding night totally about us and incorporated all of our requests! Our guests commented on the great music, and we knew everyone was having a great time on the dance floor! :) John also provided beautiful uplighting, and the reception glowed with our colors! Professional and perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have worked countless wedding receptions with John Gallagher! Everything about John is professional... well planned... flawlessly executed and delivered in silky smooth fashion. He has never, in my experience, mispronounced a name, forgotten a song, skipped a step or ritual. I immediately relax when I see John as I know he's going to provide seamless entertainment throughout the night. Definitely one of the BEST DJ Voices out there... ! One very important aspect is that I have never seen John upset with a client nor a client upset with John. (that's hard to achieve in the wedding industry for DJs) He has the ability to "read the crowd" and provide just what is needed to keep the party going.

I have worked with John so many times over the years, and he never fails to truly build a great vibe throughout an event. He is personable, professional, and thorough in his approach to his work.
