Gene is an excellent officiant

We went with the Simple Ceremony option. The vows were perfect and exactly what we were looking for for our small ceremony. Gene was very professional and answered any questions I had leading up to the big day. He also sent the vows ahead of time which was great so we could look them over beforehand. Overall a great experience and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the Delaware area!

I would definitely recommend!

Was quick to respond, polite, very fair pricing. Was quick to get the contract to me to ensure he would be available on the day of my wedding. I look forward to having him to the music for the ceremony on the beach and reception! I would definitely recommend him!

Gene, was great! Last minute I needed an officiant for our wedding on July 21, 2018. He was very prompt and professional. Even with all the rain that day we still had an unique ceremony and sand ceremony inside.

Gene has a fantastic personality that matches the fun and happy reception we were aiming for. He works hard to match what you're looking for in your songs and dancing.

We had to push up our original wedding date to a matter of months, so every minute counted. When I discovered that Gene is also an officiant, I was even more pleasantly surprised. My experience with Gene was ABSOLUTELY amazing! He has been DJ-ing for over 20 years. He really enjoys it, and it shows in his service. He is very professional and has high standards for himself.
After speaking with Gene over the phone for the first time, I knew I was in good hands. Planning your own wedding (mostly by yourself) in 3 months on a tight budget is borderline insane, but Gene had everything under control on his end. He was very patient and attentive, and his expertise was extremely helpful for me during the planning process. He has a wide selection of music, his lighting equipment is great (the reception looked stunning), and his prices are extremely reasonable!!!
On our big day, the script for the ceremony in which he wrote was beautiful and flawlessly executed. I was a little nervous how the day would go because I had to wing a couple things near the end of my planning. I honestly didn't know what to expect. But Gene made everything run so smoothly from start to finish that he made ME look good! Our big day was such a success! The best decision I have ever made. He is worth every penny and more!!!

Gene at Top Hat Entertainment did a wonderful job DJ’ing for our wedding! The dance floor was not empty once from the time the dance floor opened to the end of the reception. Gene was great throughout the planning process in helping us select the right music to set the tone for each piece of our reception. He also offered a lot of great ideas for customizing our reception and helped us select some nontraditional games that turned out to be one of the biggest hits of our reception.

Gene was the most perfect DJ!! He was quick to get in touch with me and played exactly what we asked for the entire day and evening. He was professional and fun at the same time. I would highly recommend him for any party!

I've worked with Gene on multiple weddings, and he always does a good job. A DJ can make or break a reception (and I've seen some bad ones in 30 years.) He's always dressed professionally, and that means something too. You won't see him in jeans and a tee shirt as Master of Ceremonies at your wedding. Hire Gene, and you won't be sorry!
