Shawn Gillie Entertainment is a wedding DJ and entertainment company based out of Albany, New York. They offer DJ services for weddings and all occasions throughout the upstate NY area. Shawn and his staff are extremely professional and do their very best to create a fun and memorable atmosphere for your day.

This will cover all of the basics on their end so you aren't distracted from your guests and the dance floor on your big day.

Experience

Services Offered

Shawn Gillie Entertainment plays a wide variety of musical genres based on you and your guests' likes. Although he works in Top 40 radio the songs he chooses to play at your reception will be based on your preferences. You are welcome to make a must-play list, a do-not-play list, or simply let Shawn use his years of experience to mix it up for the crowd. Leading up to your wedding, you’ll have a consultation to discuss all of the details of your event as well as other services you may need. Shawn Gillie Entertainment provides a mobile DJ unit that can be easily moved. If you are having your wedding ceremony on the same grounds as your reception but in a different location, it is not a problem for them to provide music for both as long as there is power close by. The following additional equipment is available for your wedding day:

  • Microphones
  • Sound/PA system

Highly Recommend

We couldn’t be more thrilled with Shawn as our wedding DJ! From the moment he arrived promptly at the venue, ready to set up in two different locations, we knew we were in good hands. He not only played our favorite songs but also seamlessly mixed in some of his own selections that perfectly matched the vibe of our celebration.

What truly set Shawn apart was his willingness to work with us to include some less conventional events, like a live performance and an air guitar contest. These unique touches brought so much fun and energy to the evening! Even when our timeline was delayed due to a venue issue, Shawn graciously stayed an extra half hour to ensure our party continued without a hitch.

We also purchased the LED light dance party package, and it did not disappoint! Our guests are still raving about it, claiming it was the best dancing they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.

If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, adaptable, and knows how to create an unforgettable experience, look no further than Shawn. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

Exceptional Service

Shawn was our wedding DJ, and he did a fantastic job. He was super helpful throughout the entire process. We booked him about a year ahead of our event, and was very flexible and willing to accommodate any requests that we made along the way. 10/10 vendor, and I will absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Shawn is the greatest to do it!

Shawn is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Not only was he the best DJ & had our guests on the dance floor all night he also is the most personable & funniest human I know! We connected from our first initial call & I knew we had to hire him for our special day! He made our day so fun and was there via text or call whenever I needed him during the planning process. He even has lots of extra services like audio guestboooks photo booths & more .. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring him 😃 oh and his pricing is super fair compared to other DJs out there!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
