In less than 24 hours, it was delivered it to our event site and set it all up. The song list was sweet and the system was easy to use. The sound system was also nice to have for playing our own music when people were still too sober to sing. Once the party was done, the system was picked up by a super courteous employee, completing a seamless process that was reasonably priced given all that set up and take down. Definitely worth it and made for awesome party times.

People feel it and remember how much fun they had; our friends remember the music in particular from those events, even years later. The dance floor is always full when he's spinning, and he is an encyclopedia, ready for any request. And if you need him to MC on a timeline--with intros, toasts, cake cutting, and special dances for example--he's great at that too. Whenever we host an event where good music is key, we'll call on Ken and crew.

He communicated well leading up to the event, took requests before hand, showed up exactly when he said, and wrapped up without leaving a trace. I've attended several parties where Ken was the DJ and each party was a success because of his skills. He can also bring his lights which add a lot of ambiance. Thank you Ken for making my daughter's graduation party so much fun!! The kids were on the dance floor the whole time!!

Jackson is so full of charm, smiles, and awesome dance moves, and engages so well with the kids! They adore him. Jimmy and Timmy found creative ways to entertain on every corner of the dance floor and even off of it! And Scotty lights thoughtfully managed all of the song requests while making sure the dance floor was always full--great song choices all night! And a shout out to JJ who helped us with all of the planning, was so positive and attentive, and followed through on every request. Thank you Gatsby for putting together such an amazing crew!

We had SUCH a great experience with Gatsby + Syd for our school's Halloween dance! From the…read morebeginning, Adam + James were super communicative and thoughtful about what we were looking for, especially since we wanted the event to feel festive and special for the kids. They offered flexible package options, arrived promptly, and were incredibly self-sufficient with setup (which was a huge help on an already busy event day). Syd did an excellent job balancing student requests with reading the room and keeping the energy up. The dance floor stayed well-populated throughout the night even with some pretty strong competition from our food and gaming areas! The music was fun, appropriate for our age group, and kept the kids engaged and dancing. They were also wonderfully flexible with the flow of the event; I needed to pause the music a couple of times for announcements, and Syd made those transitions feel seamless! They also helped us host a costume contest walk-off, choosing music that gave it exactly the fun, high-energy feel we were hoping for. The kids absolutely LOVED Syd, and the lighting and fog effects made the whole dance feel much more special and professional (and saved our team a tremendous amount of setup time and effort with far better results than anything we could have put together ourselves, haha)! Definitely recommend Gatsby + Syd for a school dance or other youth event!

A couple of excuses later, and no $100 discount. O.K. let's move on. Once booked, can create a custom playlist through an online portal. Submitted 5-hours of music for a 3-hour party. Yes, it was particular; class reunion. Nothing released after 1984. DJ didn't get the message. He seemed more interested in syncing beats to fade from one song to another. Maybe played a little more than half from the list? Someone had to ask him about his song selection. The response? "It's from 1989. That's the 80's." Only if you think High School and College are the same thing. Had a pissed off bartender grab me to let me know I needed to make a 'last call,' since she asked the DJ and he didn't. In fact, he didn't say anything for the duration. The biggest sin for last. Special request for last song: Don't You Forget About Me. (Yes, 1985. exception to the rule) But, how you'd want to end a reunion, right? The DJ mixed it with a Beastie Boys track. Love me some Beastie, but wrong time, wrong place. Couldn't read a crowd. Would've saved myself a bunch to rent a speaker and hook it up to Spotify.

We're SOO happy we chose Edgar to DJ our wedding!!…read more From the very beginning, he went above and beyond for us. Not only was he an excellent communicator during the planning process, but he even helped us secure a photo booth vendor. Every step of the way, he handled my VERY specific requests with patience, creativity, and zero judgment. On the wedding day, he truly facilitated the entire event from start to finish. He kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes while still bringing such fun, warm energy to every moment. Our ceremony music was flawless, transitions were seamless, and the dancing portion of the night was exactly what I envisioned (dancing is my FAVORITE part of weddings, so this was very important to me!). He absolutely nailed the announcements and kept the vibe consistent and elevated. We received compliments about how fun the dancing portion was, and Edgar played a huge part in that. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly how to keep the energy high without ever feeling forced. It was important for us to have diversity among our vendors, but also to have someone who intuitively understood the music preferences of my Filipino family. At the same time, Edgar's music knowledge spans everything, including the genres I love most, which made the night feel both culturally familiar and uniquely tailored to us. Professional, fun, attentive, and genuinely talented, Edgar helped make our wedding unforgettable and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services for ANY event!!! Truly best day of our life
