The best DJ in the Annapolis area!

We hired Tommy for our wedding on 10/7/22 and it was honestly one of the best decisions that we made in our entire planning process. Tommy, Valerie, and their team are professional and extremely easy to work with. We told them exactly what we wanted (and didn’t want!) and they made our vision truly come to life. Many of our guests told us that we had the best dj of any wedding they had attended this year. TGE has also worked with our venue (Celebrations at the Bay) for many years, which elevated any worries that we had about how the venue staff and the TGE staff would work together. Tommy actually DJed our homecomings and proms in high school, which, as high school sweethearts, made this experience extra special to us. Thank you x10000 to Tommy, Valerie, and your team! We highly recommend them for any event, but especially for your wedding!!

Absolutely Amazing

I cannot recommend Tommy Gatz Entertainment enough. As I was in the early stages of planning my wedding the nerves began flooding into me. I grew more and more nervous with each phone call to a new vendor. I came across Tommy Gatz via Instagram. 5 mins into speaking with Tommy Gatz Entertainment I started to feel a little relief. The planning process became so much easier once my husband and I decided to use Tommy Gatz entertainment for our photographer, DJ and up lighting. Fast forward to our wedding day. The confidence I had from knowing that Tommy Gatz’s team was in charge of capturing my important day and helping create those moment was something I will never forget. After the wedding we received our photos very quickly. As I was reviewing our photos, I couldn’t help but smile and shed some happy tears. EVERYTHING WAS CAPTURED!!!! Precious moments with mine and my husband’s Grandparents, Parents and whole family were all there. Pictures were a huge priority for me because I knew I would not be able to get those moments back! Also, huge bonus having them as a one stop shop!

Perfect DJ and Team!

When my husband and I first got engaged, one of the first things we agreed on was that we needed Tommy Gatz to be our DJ. We had both known Tommy for quite some time and his reputation speaks for itself. He is simply amazing. Along with his team, they go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. From multiple meetings to go over song choices and lighting colors, to mapping out our day of timeline, which was flawless, everything was so easy and seamless. We truly felt like part of the family and that Tommy wanted our day to be the best day... and it was! We can’t thank Tommy and his team enough for our wedding, lighting and music! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

When my Wife and I were looking for wedding vendors for our wedding we went to an Expo in Baltimore and immediately fell in love with what Tommy Gatz Entertainment had to offer. We compared the services, customer ratings, and prices of many companies and at the end of the day no other company could compare to what Tommy Gatz Entertainment had to offer. Honestly, we were amazed from the beginning at the arrangement Tommy Gatz had at the Expo and we knew we were going with him for our wedding. My wife and I have been married for almost two months now and we have received numerous compliments on the DJ and photographer we had for our wedding. We got our pictures very fast and are actually having trouble picking which pictures to frame because there are just so many great pictures! Our wedding was just the perfect day and it is all thanks to Tommy Gatz Entertainment. Having Valerie help us with the itinerary and ensuring that all of the required pictures got taken and helping us organize our wedding day was amazing because it took a lot off of our shoulders. Tommy was the best DJ and our dance floor was always filled. Our friends and family had an amazing time and Tommy really knew how to “engage” (pun intended) them and play music that kept them dancing all night. Looking back on our wedding day I can honestly say that going with Tommy Gatz Entertainment was one of the best decisions that we made and it was a day that we will never forget.
Thank you Tommy and TGE Team!

I (Bride) had met Tommy through a mutual friend, so I naturally set up a meeting to hear about his services. Choosing his entertainment company for our special day was the piece that pulled our wedding coordination together. From our initial meeting, I felt a genuine connection with Tommy and Valerie and just knew that they cared as much about putting on a great production for our special day, as we did. The ease of having our Dj, Photography, Cinematography, and Day of Coordinator come from one group was so convenient and they worked seamlessly with our other vendors. Our wedding night was filled with love, laughter, and fun. Tommy had the dance floor packed (with multiple generations!), the music and special moments flowed effortlessly. Thank you to Tommy and the team!

Tommy and Valerie were amazing to work with! From the start, planning a wedding on the opposite side of the country can be difficult but they ensured that everything on our wedding day would be perfect and it was! We used Tommy Gatz Entertainment for our DJ, lighting and day of event coordinator. After doing some research on DJ's in the Annapolis area and after following Tommy on Instagram and Facebook, I knew he was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. We even got a private session at their office were they have a booth set up, after hearing him in person, it sealed the deal! His work is seriously the BEST! I cannot tell you how many compliments we got from our wedding guest that they had the best time and that the music was perfect!! The dance floor was packed the whole night! Tommy did not play one song I didn't like! I even had a special request for a 90's compilation and it was one of my favorite parts of the night! We also used their light package and it completely transformed our venue! Tommy and Valerie worked very hard with us to find the perfect light color to use for our wedding. As our day of coordinator, Valerie worked with us and the venue to make sure everything was just how we planned. It was absolutely perfect! We would 100% recommend Tommy Gatz Entertainment! If we could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!! Thank you again for all of your hard work, it totally paid off!! -Kay and Mike

Working with Tommy Gatz Entertainment was a no-brainer for us when looking for an entertainment vendor for our wedding. We have very good friends who had used Tommy Gatz for their wedding and we remembered how organized and overall well done their wedding was - from start to finish. From the minute that we reached out to Tommy Gatz, both Tommy and Valerie, were down-to-earth, family kind of people. Just what we had envisioned for our wedding day! We knew that they were going to really get to know us as a couple and make sure the wedding day was fitting for our personalities and our wishes. As the process went along, they well surpassed just that and became friends of ours that we enjoyed planning our best day ever with. We also loved that it was a "one-stop-shop" where we were able to do the music, the lighting, the photography and have an event planner all wrapped up in one venue. Our biggest desire for our wedding day was to create a day where we, our family and our closest friends were able to truly able to enjoy and have a stress-free day. Both of our parents, were able to spend time with us during the day and not worry about all of the setup and timeline of the day - it was truly incredible for us to be able to share in our day with them without the stress of the event. For that we will be forever Grateful to Tommy Gatz. One of the COOLEST things from the day of the wedding was that everyone was on the dance floor thanks to Patrick and his DJ-ing. That's when you know you have a good DJ and one heck of a party! Lastly, when our pictures came back we just could not get enough of them. We knew that they had done an incredible job with them but they were breath taking when we began to go through them. We cannot thank them enough for allowing us, our parents and the guests to just relax and enjoy our best day ever!

We chose Tommy Gatz Entertainment for our lighting, DJ music, photography, cinematography, event planning and coordination. Tommy Gatz Entertainment did a phenomenal job! Our wedding day definitely would not have been possible without them. From the first moment we met with them, they made sure we were comfortable and were very willing to work with our needs. We were a young couple and they were very catering and helpful in guiding us through all the works. They had lots of experience doing weddings and were able to give us advice and suggestions. On the day of the wedding, they provided coordinators that made sure everything went smoothly behind the scenes so that we could actually enjoy our own wedding stress-free. Valerie, Rachel, Tommy, Mike, and the rest of TGE crew did an amazing job! The photos came out beautiful and the video captured all the right moments. There were some moments that we didn’t even notice them capturing! The venue was gorgeous with all the up-lighting and the music was on point. Tommy Gatz Entertainment provided all the key things needed to make a wedding perfect. As they said at the very beginning, they don’t just treat us as clients, they treat us as family, and they truly did just that.

Tommy Gatz Entertainment provided everything we could ask for and more for our wedding. Valerie was awesome to work with in coordinating the events and really made it simple for us to plan the timeline of our wedding ceremony and reception.
All of our guests had a wonderful time, with many telling us that it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. A large reason for that is the great atmosphere and music provided by DJ Tommy Gatz and his associate DJ Schemes.
I've known Tommy since elementary school and knew the person to call when looking for a company to provide entertainment and organization to our wedding events. Tommy Gatz Entertainment did not disappoint. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for people who not only know how to put on a wedding celebration but also know how to throw a true party.

"TGE was great to work with from day one! They tailor the entire ceremony to you and make sure everything happens on schedule, all while you are listening to great music played by their very talented DJs. They are a one stop shop for your wedding entertainment and have a clearly defined process that makes planning your wedding surprisingly easy. The inclusion of a day-of coordinator is a huge plus and helps ensure the entire ceremony and reception run smoothly. Their DJs are amazing and do a fantastic job of incorporating songs you request and generating the rest of the playlist based on what you like! My wife and I were told by several friends that this was the best wedding playlist they have ever heard. Everyone on the team was incredibly professional and worked as a team with all our other vendors to ensure that my wife and I got to focus on celebrating!!!" -Joe and Frances
