Great DJ, professional, guests loved Gary and his energetic personality. Dancing, light, Karaoke was excellent! 

Gary with Main Event DJ was beyond amazing! We hired him to host karaoke and provide a photo booth for our company retreat. He was very communicative and professional leading up to the event, so I felt extremely comfortable and informed of his services. Once onsite, he did a wonderful job of playing MC, DJ, and hosting karaoke. He was beyond accommodating and kind to our 130 employees, most of which wanted to do karaoke! His set-up was more than we could have asked for, with a great sound system, lights, and even a TV that the audience could see with lyrics so they could sing along. Karaoke was absolutely the highlight of the retreat for our employees!!

Gary was fantastic, and a true professional. He was very helpfull throughout the whole process. He was able to handle the expected and the unexpected things all the while remaining calm. I have already recommended Gary to some friends. 

His equipment is state of the art. Our guest remarked that our DJ was excellent. So if you are considering Gary as your DJ I would book him immediately!
