    Perfect experience with 74 Events

    74 Events made our wedding such a special day. They were on it from the first call: asked great questions and laid out all the planning elements we'd need to succeed. They worked great with our coordinator to handle logistics, from COIs to load-in and out, and were super helpful with AV for the ceremony. They were extremely attentive and invested in our playlist and paired us with a DJ who matched our styles, and executed an amazing night of reception and dance music our friends are still talking about. They also were super helpful in making sure everyone who spoke at the event had proper microphone usage.

    Go 74 Events, you won't regret it!

    Wedding of our dreams!

    The music at our wedding was absolute perfection thanks to Aaron (DJ Alias) and Gary! Gary was so organized and responsive during the planning process. At our wedding, Aaron took our music likes/dislikes and then read the room brilliantly. Everyone danced the whole night and we received so many compliments on the music. It was the wedding of our dreams and the music made the night. THANK YOU Aaron & Gary!

    Duane’s the man!

    Duane was the perfect DJ for us; in running with our requests and predetermined playlists while also reading the crowd with surprise selections that kept the dance floor singing and dancing all night long. EVERYONE was talking about how great the music was. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.

    Leading up to the wedding, Gary and Duane were extremely responsive, thorough, and professional during the planning process. We highly recommend working with 74 Events and Duane!

    Highly recommended professional DJ!

    Our special day exceeded all our expectations, thanks to music provided 74 Events. From the initial planning calls to the last song of our reception, everything was seamless and a great time.

    Gary & James at 74 Events were incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of with thoughtfulness and care. While we had a vision in mind for our playlist, James surpassed it, adding his expertise and creativity to make our wedding day (and the dance floor) even more fun.

    The overall outcome was beyond what we could have imagined! We had many compliments on the setlist, and we're grateful to James and 74 Events for playing such an important role in making our wedding day vision come to life. We highly recommend their services to any couple looking to create a truly memorable event.

    Wedding DJ

    Preston and Gary were an absolute pleasure to work with. Preston absolutely crushed it. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. The playlist was perfect. He immediately understood us and our vibe and just ran with it. The guests repeatedly came up to us to say how amazing our DJ was. Working with Gary was a breeze. From beginning to end, we were amazed by how easy he made this process. We so appreciated the professionalism.

    Best Wedding DJ Ever

    To start the process, we worked with Gary - the owner of 74 Events. Gary is extremely kind, professional and organized. He immediately made us feel confident that 74 Events would deliver on an amazing musical and MC experience, regardless of the DJ that was assigned to our event.

    We were fortunate enough to be assigned Joel (AKA LordEasy). We can’t sing Joel’s praises enough. Joel flawlessly executed his duties. Every song was started and stopped at the perfect time (like for our recessional and entrance) and he seamlessly made the event flow by instructing guests on when it was time for the first dance/toasts/etc..

    With past meetings and a brief questionnaire, Joel was able to perfectly identify our musical preferences and had a set list that kept the dance full ALL NIGHT. It was as if he had our own playlists. We’re a week out from our wedding and our guests keep talking about how fun the dance floor was.

    We can’t recommend 74 Events, Gary, and Joel enough. They will ensure you have the best day ever. We are so grateful for them.

    August 2024 Wedding - 80's into thumping Disco

    We loved working with Gary at 74 Events. So buttoned up, thorough, detail oriented and precise on everything. Recommended a few DJ's that had worked events at our venue which was also a huge help. Once we chose the DJ it was smoothing sailing from there... all the way through the end of the night. Amazing to work with and would 1000% recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or event. Bravo to Gary and 74 Events.

    Incredible Experience

    We cannot sing the praises of 74 Events and DJ Vida enough! Gary from 74 Events was a standout from start to finish. His organization, responsiveness, and professionalism were top-notch, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently throughout the planning process.
    DJ Vida was an absolute hit at our wedding. We received countless compliments on her performance, and it's no surprise why—her energy and talent truly elevated the celebration. Even our wedding planner remarked on the exceptional communication between DJ Vida and our team, which only added to the seamless experience we had.
    The wedding planning process can undoubtedly be overwhelming, but Gary and DJ Vida went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their dedication and expertise made our entire experience flawless, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a hitch.
    We wholeheartedly recommend 74 Events and DJ Vida for anyone looking to make their special day unforgettable. Thank you, Gary and Vida, for making our wedding extraordinary!

    Danced all night long!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Gary & his team - not only did he have great communication but also matched us with the perfect DJ for our wedding. Duane absolutely killed it! Our guests wouldn't leave the dance floor at the end of the night. I had so many people coming up to me and texting me afterwards because of how great the music was and how much fun they had dancing the night away! Couldn't have asked for a better night thanks to Gary & Duane. I cannot recommend them enough.

    Hire 74 Events!

    We are SO glad that we went with 74 Events for our wedding at The Foundry in August! Gary connected us with Preston Dugger and he did the most fabulous job.

    From start to finish, Preston exceeded all our expectations and played a pivotal role in making our special day unforgettable. First off, Preston was incredibly professional and easy to work with. Both Gary and Preston took the time to understand our vision for the event, offering great suggestions and ensuring that every detail was covered. Preston's playlist was a perfect blend of our favorite tunes and crowd-pleasers, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. What really stood out was Preston's ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how the music truly made the celebration come alive. Preston was also a fantastic emcee, seamlessly guiding us through the evening's events with charm and professionalism. He handled every announcement and transition with ease, making sure everything flowed smoothly.

    Gary & Preston made our wedding day incredibly memorable and stress-free. If you're looking for a DJ who will bring both expertise and enthusiasm to your event, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Preston to anyone wanting to create a fun and unforgettable experience for their wedding!

    Get ready to boogie

    Gary & Daniel made our special day even more sweet. On the planning side, Gary was incredibly helpful & insightful -- any time we had a question bubbling up in our minds he was always one step ahead with an answer. On our big day, Daniel did an incredible job balancing the music that was important to us with the tracks that tied the whole vibe together. Our guests could not stop raving about his style -- he also did a wonderful job intro'ing family & managing each special moment. Hire this team!!

    Ben Carlin is the man. He DJ’d our wedding this weekend and I have 3 words: He killed it. We had a pretty specific song list with some crowd-pleasers and some personal faves and he knew exactly how to make it work and what to add so that the dance floor was packed all night. Throughout the night and after, people (both young and old) were telling us how amazing the music was. We worked with Gary to book everything and he was super professional and understood our needs. Look no further - hire Ben and Gary! It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding night.

    Gary and Ben are a Dream Team!

    All I wanted for my wedding was to spend the night on the dance floor, and wow did Ben Carlin of 74 Events deliver. One guest called it a "Millennial Dream". Once the dancing started it didn't stop. Combined with Gary's attention to detail in the booking and planning process = dream team. Book them!

    Whole heartedly recommend 74 Events to anyone looking for an amazing vibe for their wedding

    We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to 74 Events and James for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! Their energy, professionalism, and ability to work with our playlist while adding their own expertise truly set the perfect tone for the evening.

    From the moment James started playing, the dance floor was never empty, and it was clear that he knew exactly how to keep the celebration lively and fun. Many of our guests have commented on how fantastic the music was, and we couldn’t agree more. Everyone that ended up chatting with James said he was a delight.

    We whole heartedly recommend 74 Events to anyone looking for an amazing vibe for their wedding! They were so easy to work with and were one of our favorite vendors.

    Best wedding DJ of all time!

    Ben and Gary exceeded our expectations in every way! Ben is an incredibly talented DJ and his set list had everyone at our wedding dancing the entire night. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a blast on the dance floor and nailed it with his final song choices. On top of the Gary is the most professional, caring, and responsive person I have ever worked with. Can not recommend 74 Events and Ben enough!

    Amazing DJ!

    Hiring 74 Events and our DJ James was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Many of our guests told us that our music was the best wedding music they’ve ever heard. The dance floor was packed the entire night. And James listened to all of our requests and added music that we absolutely loved. In addition, Gary was extremely responsive and professional in all communications leading up to our wedding. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Dance floor of my dreams!

    The number one thing that my friends & family texted me about the morning after our wedding was how incredible our DJ was, and how spot-on and amazing the music was the whole night—from the cocktail hour to the after party. Even notoriously dancing-shy friends were on the dance floor until the last minute of our after party. That takes real intuition & skill in a DJ—and Daniel has it! We so enjoyed every aspect of working with 74 Events and Daniel as our DJ partner—they’re organized, clear communicators, and most importantly, have incredible taste in music, and a great intuition of precisely what song a dance floor and specific crowd needs at any given moment. If you want your wedding to be fun & memorable—your search stops here!

    Professional and Fun

    74 Events made our wedding day perfect and stress free. From start to finish they were extremely organized, professional, and attentive. The communication was a 10/10. Gary and James could not have been easier to work with. They were both very polite and knowledgeable and made this a seamless experience. James was a fantastic DJ and presence at the wedding. He was masterful at reading the room and choosing what music to play at what time. We had an absolutely awesome experience with this company and these gentlemen specifically. We would highly recommend giving them a call. Thanks guys!!

    Gary and DJ Rob helped make our wedding truly enjoyable and stress free. DJ Rob was awesome and really kept the energy high throughout the night! He did a fantastic job transitioning from dinner to dance music, and seamlessly incorporating several people’s playlists. Gary is the consummate professional. From the first email to the last, he has got you covered. There’s good reason why 74 Events has over 1000 5-star reviews. They are the real deal! Can’t recommend more highly!

    Disco on a Farm!

    We had the absolute best wedding and a huge part of this was because of the music!!! Joel was the perfect match for our wedding and curated an incredible playlist, that ensured every guest didn’t leave the dance floor. Both my wife (wow) and I are musicians and we are snobs when it comes to music. Trust me, the music at our wedding was absolute perfection!

    Additionally, leading up to the event, Gary was extremely responsive and professional. Our calls were very informative and prepared us well for the day of. I could not recommend 74events more!!!

    Thank you sooo much Gary and Joel!!!

    Look no further!

    Booking with 74Events was a no brainer! We found Gary through a coworker who went to a wedding with a 74Events DJ and all guests were on the dance floor. That coworker, then booked 74E for his wedding and we quickly booked an intro call with Gary.

    Gary's organizational skills, professionalism, and constant communication gives the bride and groom one less thing to worry about during wedding planning - and let us tell you, his DJs DELIVER! Our main concern was that we had people of all ages (94-15) attend our wedding and we wanted everyone to have a ball. DJ James Arnold could not have been more on top of his game, he was so good at reading the room and so many of our guests came up to us throughout the night to sing his praise.

    We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and wish we could do it all again!

    absolutely incredible!!

    We are so grateful to have worked with 74events for our wedding day! They were everything we hoped for! My husband and I did not want a cheesy wedding DJ+ MC disrupting the music or acting silly during our wedding, we wanted to maintain a classy vibe while being very selective of the music we wanted to play at our wedding. Based on our music preferences and taste, we were matched with DJ Rob who was absolutely perfect for us! He listened to all of our of song requests, he was highly professional and only acted as MC when he needed to be/was requested to make certain announcements. Our guests were on the dance floor having a blast and were so happy to have the different range of music play that we requested to be played, especially our Spanish and Portuguese side of the family! They are simply the best and truly know how to keep the party alive. Don’t look any further if you’re like me who is very picky about music and the vibe you want for your wedding. You simply can’t go wrong with 74 events! Thank you a million DJ Rob & Gary!
