    Our venue highly recommended them and now I understand why

    We found Gary Alan and Sarah through our venue, the owner highly recommended them and now I understand why! Gary Alan talked everything through with us and was so confident in everything we wanted to do. While on the phone he would give us example speeches for things he either did all the time or for things I saw online and wanted to do at ours. He was so good at coming up with professional-sounding speeches on the spot which definitely came in handy multiple times throughout the wedding!

    He took songs we loved and added songs like it to the playlists we came up with and I have to say the dance floor was never empty! It was so great dancing to songs I know and love rather than a basic playlist that everyone plays.

    We paid to have the photo booth at our wedding which is run by Sarah. I was so impressed by her set up, she had props and signs for you to hold but also she printed out the pictures right then and there for everyone to have a copy and give you the digital copies later. It was so much fun making silly faces, the quality of the photos were of a high quality. I can’t wait to see all of the pictures everyone took as I loved all the ones I’ve seen so far! It was definitely worth it!

    Also getting the photo booth means that Sarah helps at the wedding as a day of coordinator if you don't already have one! She helped coordinate the ceremony which I have to say I would not have known when to send people off.

    The Best DJ & Photo-booth!

    I cannot stress enough how incredible Gary and his wife, Sarah, were. From the moment we contacted them until the moment we left the venue they were there for us. Gary didn’t push us into doing anything we didn’t want, but was there to guide us into what would be the best and most fun options for us and our guests. If you’ve started wedding planning at all, you know that getting ahold of your vendors is a lot like pulling teeth… that is not true for Gary. Whenever I had a question he was always just a quick text or phone call away.

    Just moments before our first look, my [now] husband and I found out our videographer didn’t show. As you can imagine, this fell on devastated hearts. Little did we know, Gary would step in and double as our videographer for the night…at no additional cost and without even being asked. Gary knew the significance of our videographer not showing up. He didn’t have to do this, but he chose to because he is such a good person and truly cares about his clients.

    From our first look to our last dance, Gary was there running back and forth from DJ booth to videographer - capturing all the special moments. This did not seem to phase him nor did it make his services any less “incredible”. The dance floor was packed the entire evening and after the wedding we had numerous compliments on our DJ, the photo-booth, the music, and several people who thought Gary was just doing his thing not knowing that he stepped up and played the roll of 2 very important people for our wedding day.

    Gary, as amazing as he is, is not always a one man “show”. Just a month before our wedding date we decided we wanted to add the photo booth to our package and I am SO GLAD we did! Gary’s wife, Sarah, hosted the photo-booth. She is so personable and made the photo-booth so much fun for our guests! She had every little prop from diva feathers to silly glasses to every sign under the sun. I cannot stress enough, DO NOT SKIP THE PHOTO BOOTH option! Your guests will thank you.

    What Gary and Sarah did was something they didn’t have to, but they jumped into it with grace and truly cared about making our wedding a fairytale. I will feel forever in debt to them for capturing every single moment of a day that (yes the rumors are true) flies by and is over before you know it.

    Gary & Sarah - thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

    Perfect experience!

    DJ Gary Alan was everything we could have wished for our wedding! He accomodated our requests, provided a useful template for the ceremony that he nailed during the actual wedding. He accomodated our requests for the cocktail hour and party, and while we didn't specify any style for the dinner, he actually delivered. During the party, he kept the party busy dancing, we gave him very lose directions but every song landed well with the crowd.

    We couldn't have wished for a better experience.

    Best dj ever!

    Our wedding wouldn't have been as EPIC if it wasn't for DJ Gary Alan's special touches of music from beinging to end. We completley trusted him with our music and he didn't disappoint. He even worked with us on the spot with music change when we had a suprise for our guest with our grand entrance. Our guest had a BLAST!

    Much Love Mr. & Mrs. Meyer

    A perfect night, made more perfect with DJ Gary!

    Cannot recommend DJ Gary highly enough! He and his partner Sarah (who also ran the photobooth) are such professionals, it put me completely at ease. They helped time the entrances, chatted with my officiant about mic preferences, and found me and my groom in the crowd to keep the timeline going. Everyone loved the music and had a fantastic night!

    Amazing dj & photobooth

    DJ Gary and his wife Sarah are an amazing DJ and photobooth duo that work amazing together and provide amazing services. I was married at Van Dickson ranch in Skull Valley and did not have to worry about anything regarding a schedule of how the ceremony and reception would go because these two had it covered and under control. With Gary you do not need a wedding coordinator because he does a great job and doing this, as well as does a superb job with music choices and flow. Gary and Sarah helped throughout my whole wedding not just by doing the music and photobooth but by helping make sure everything is running smoothly and that me, the groom, and my guests were happy. Sarah even helped guide my 1 1/2 year old daughter down the aisle, and towards the end of the night I became upset due to transportation issues and Gary showed so much care and concern and helped as he could. They made sure to cover every important part of our day and are so kind, caring, happy, and hard working people. I would not recommend any other DJ as I only trust Gary because he is a true professional. :) Thank you for making my day perfect Gary and Sarah!

    It was just OK


    Some things didn’t go as well as we would have hoped in our experience with Gary. He was consistently responsive and always willing to meet with us in preparation for the wedding. We decided to work with him since our venue strongly recommended him. Oftentimes we felt like Gary was a little pushy with some of his suggestions on how to plan our own wedding, and even clashed with our coordinator on how the evening should go. It felt like we had to push back a little much to actually get across what we wanted for our wedding. There were also a few unfortunate mishaps during the reception that impacted our experience. He also misidentified some key moments on the microphone, including the groom’s name and misrepresenting a sensitive family special dance with loved ones having recently passed away. Additionally, multiple times through the night the music just completely stopped at inopportune times which was a bit of a disruption to the attendees on the dance floor. Overall, we felt like things could have been better.
