    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...

    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...

    I honestly cannot thank Tommy Gatz Entertainment enough for ALL of their hard work and sincere dedication in making my dream wedding come to life. They were a real pleasure to work with throughout the whole entire process of planning 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'.

    We used Tommy Gatz Entertainment for their DJ, lighting, and videography services, and everything was simply amazing. Tommy (the best DJ around) kept everyone on the dance floor the whole entire time, playing a variety of music appealing to all ages and to both Greeks & Americans. I loved that he got everyone involved and kept everyone on their feet. The lighting was absolutely STUNNING. My jaw dropped when I walked into...

    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...

    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....

    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...

    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...

    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...

    "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...

    Tommy did an amazing job DJing our wedding. Having the Tommy Gatz Entertainment team to DJ, coordinate, and light our wedding was the best decision we made. Working with Tommy was an easy choice as I knew him from high school. It was very special to have him as a part of the wedding. Working with Tommy and his mom Valerie was a breeze. They made my husband and I feel like we were family. The in person meetings ensured we had everything covered. They are so passionate about what they do, there was no detail over looked. Thanks to the TGE team our wedding went off without a hitch and Tommy kept the dance floor full all night. I would highly recommend the TGE team for any of your wedding needs.

    Tommy and his crew made our wedding reception flow with continuity and seamlessly. Valerie did day of coordination, which gave me about a million less things to worry about, and kept everything flowing smoothly. Tommy did an amazing job DJ-ing the "party" mode of the reception. He did a great job reading the crowd and playing the songs that would get people dancing and having fun all night. Our goal was for our wedding reception to flow as a fun event for everyone invited, and Tommy and his crew created an ambiance that gave all of our guests a wedding to talk about weeks later.

    I knew that I just had to have Tommy Gatz Entertainment as my videographer when I was brought to tears while watching one of their wedding videos. They have a unique ability to capture the excitement and love encompassing a couple on their wedding day so that it becomes palpable to the viewer, and no other videographer I considered could match their talent. Working with Valerie, the coordinator, was amazing because she kept everyone on the same page and managed all of the potential problems that arose. Valerie is very knowledgeable and will help you make a realistic timeline for your wedding day that also allows you to achieve all of your goals for that day. She thinks about...

    We wanted to ensure our guests had a wonderful time at our reception, and we knew the music would play a large role in that. Tommy Gatz Entertainment was absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't be happier that we chose them for our reception! We had some extra challenges in planning our wedding. Not only were we planning the wedding from Alabama, and were only able to come up to Annapolis just one time from the time we got engaged until our wedding weekend, but we also planned the entire wedding in 4 months! It was so nice to know we were in good hands with Valerie and Tommy and had no worries that the music would be great and...

    Tommy Gatz Entertainment should be everyone's first and last stop when beginning their search for wedding entertainment. From the moment you first meet them all the way through to the end of your event, they treat you like family. Unlike other companies where you are simply a number, they treat you as if your a member of their family, hugs included. When you need to ask them a question you always get a response. All meetings are conducted in person, not via telephone or chat or video conference but in person at their studio. The first meeting including meeting the founder, Tommy Gatz and Valerie his head coordinator who doubles as his mom as well. This is truly a...

    10/01/2016 will be a date I will remember for the rest of my life. My name is Eddie Conway I am the owner of Garry’s Grill & Catering in Severna Park. In my years of catering I have worked alongside many different DJs, and wedding planners. Therefore choosing one for our day was a tough task. Choosing TGE was the best decision we made.
    From the first sit down with Tommy and Valerie they showed the utmost professionalism.
    Every bride and groom going through the “wedding process” knows how stressful it can be.
    Finding a purveyor that can relive just a little bit of that stress is an incredible partner to have.

    Hiring Tommy Gatz Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.


    We had a very accelerated timeline (thanks to our procrastination) but Tommy and Valerie were both totally engaged in making sure everything was done right. They helped us to get our plans together and kept us on track during what would otherwise have been a very stressful process. Their expertise was invaluable to us during the planning phase.

    The end result of their hard work was a wonderful event. We got to enjoy our wedding and our guests had a fantastic time... they loved the lighting effects at the venue, the music was terrific, and we continue to get compliments about...

    Kristen and I had been looking for music and entertainment to complete our wedding planning list and stumbled upon Tommy Gatz Entertainment through the recommendation of a friend. The moment we met with Tommy and Valerie we had complete confidence in their ability to not only supply outstanding DJ and lighting services, but to also keep us organized and on task. They helped us plan and coordinate our entire wedding schedule from top to bottom. No detail was left to chance. On the day of the wedding, Valerie made sure everyone was ready to go and in place for events while DJ Tommy Gatz had the dance floor packed the entire night. They assured us that everything would be...

    Wow this was a great experience to have Tommy Gatz entertainment take care of the lighting and DJ services. We got way more than that that! A professional staff, Valerie the Day of Coordinator who made sure we were on time for all portions of the wedding. DJ Tommy Gatz who is not only one of the best DJs we worked with but had fun during the entire night setting the tone for the evening. Without DJ Tommy Gatz and his all inclusive services (photography and videography) our wedding would not have turned out as perfect as it did!

    From the moment we met with Valerie and Tommy from TGE we instantly clicked. We referred by family friends to use Tommy Gatz for our June 2016 wedding. Our first meeting was great and we really got a feel for how family oriented and caring the company was. Most companies give you a quote without ever even having a meeting, so we felt that Tommy was really taking the time to get to know what kind of people we were and our taste. The process from there on was simple leading up to our wedding. Valerie and Tommy were always responsive when we had questions via emails or phone calls.

We were a little overwhelmed, but then we met Tommy and Valerie from Tommy Gatz Entertainment. We were immediately impressed by their professional presentation, and by how welcoming they were. We learned that Tommy’s company offered almost all of the services we wanted. We were hooked.
    Over several planning meetings we also learned that Tommy and Valerie were as interested in getting to know us as we were in getting to know them. Our planning sessions usually ended with a personal chat, and we count Tommy and Valerie as friends to this day. We decided to have...

    From the moment we met Tommy, we could tell what passion and energy he brings to his work. While he came highly recommended by another bride to DJ our wedding reception, we knew from the first meeting that he would guarantee a great time on the dance floor.
