Great DJ and selection of music

Gil did our wedding and was excellent. We heard so many at our wedding talk about how great he was. They asked us where we found him. He played music that kept people of the dance floor even helping some to learn how to dance.

Unforgettable Evening

DJ Gil was top notch! We thought we had a difficult request blending two songs for our first dance but for DJ Gil it was no problem. The crowd couldn't stop complimenting him and the music, guests barely left the dance floor! We couldn't ask for better music and a better DJ. HIGHLY recommend.

Got married 04/23/22 at The Essex Steam Train and River Boat in Essex CT

DJ Gil and his wife Michelle are amazing entertainers! We had so much fun at our wedding. They were at a wedding in Philadelphia we attended and we said “we have to get them to do our wedding in Connecticut” They said yes with no hesitation. Very reasonably priced! Trust us it’s not a party without them. Very professional and knowledgeable!

Flawless Experience

From start to finish, Gil made the experience so easy for us. The key with Gil vs other DJ's is that everything is so natural for him that there were things we did not even need to coordinate with him, that he made a stand to make sure would run smoothly such as getting the dance floor going, directing people for food, coordinating people when to toss roses at our "Send-Off", Everything was just flawless. The proof of his excellence when after your wedding one of the top statements we heard (besides complementing the bride and groom) was: "Where did you fund your DJ", Your "Dj was amazing". He helped a hot humid and rainy wedding day seem unnoticeable for us and our guests.

Best DJ in Montgomery county!

This is the second time we used Gil. He's very professional and did an amazing job. I wouldn't consider using anybody else.

Amazing DJ and a great time.

Gill was a great DJ to work with, he was the DJ at a friend's wedding. We got his contact information from them and gave him a call. He met with us and listened to what were looking for on that day. We basically gave him a list of what songs to not play, any everything else was open. His dance lessons made all the difference for a first dance we both remember. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing DJ, which will make the night truly memorable.

Excellent! Approachable, professional, responsible and friendly.

Everyone raved about Gil’s ability to make the guests feel welcomed and participate of all the fun in singing and dancing . No one was left out. We had a blast and almost a year after the event people are still talking about how much fun they all had at our wedding! Thank you for making our day an unforgettable one Gil! 💃🏻🕺
