I brought in two electric guitars to get work done - one just a basic set up, and the other several upgrades and a set up. Wow, was I impressed. The entire process was smooth and informative. When I discussed the work with Scott prior to dropping the guitars off, I could immediately tell he knew what I was looking for and how to achieve it. Then, as the work began, Scott sent me dozens of text messages with questions and helpful suggestions. He even included a ton of photos showing the expert level of work he was doing on my guitars. He was very transparent! The work he did was exceptional. He is clearly a master at what he does! Glad to have found a local guitar shop and guitar tech that I can trust!

What a wonderful experience having Dennis as our wedding DJ! Dennis was so friendly, professional,…read moreand affordable!! Our wedding planning was not easy since we had two different ceremonies of 20-40 min each including a blend of Moroccan and American traditions and a 20 min intermittence where we decided to play Moroccan instrumental music. Dennis was very easy to work with during the whole planning process! Here are a few things that I really appreciated: - After meeting with Dennis on Zoom a few times and talking about our music preferences, not only he sent us a detailed sequence of events with the corresponding songs to make sure we were on the same page, but he also did not mind making a few changes to the playlist the last week before the wedding. - Dennis was glad to provide guitar and music stands when I suggested to play a guitar song for my bride. He also helped me tune my guitar when I was busy on the wedding day. - Dennis is an expert not only in music but also in lights! The playlist that he crafted based on the few song ideas we shared and his music/light show kept the dance floor crowded all the night! He also surprised us during dinner with a few songs about Casablanca and Marrakech which perfectly matched our Moroccan wedding theme. His devotion to his job is just inspiring! - Dennis is flexible! Since everyone was enjoying their time, we decided to extend his contract for a few hours, which he did not mind. We had multiple friends tell us our wedding was one of the best the've ever been to and Dennis was definitely a huge part of that. We highly recommend him!

From my first interview with him over the phone, I could tell he knew what he was doing. We were clear that we wanted someone who wouldn't be your stereotypical DJ personality, and true to form, Dennis handled everything professionally and flawlessly. He met us prior to the wedding ready to help us with suggestions from all the weddings he has done. On our wedding day, he showed up early, had all of his equipment set up and ready to go without a hitch, handled all the intros smoothly, played all the songs on my list, and threw in some extra songs as well that fit the mood. He even threw in free uplighting as a gift, and his rate was very reasonable for the amount of work he put into making our reception special. I wanted my wedding reception to be the ultimate dance party, and thanks to Dennis, it was better than we dreamed. I've had so many compliments after regarding our DJ and music, and we really owe the success of the night to Dennis. I highly recommend Nardella's Music Company for any of your DJ needs!

I always tell my clients when you are having fun your guests are having fun!

The staff had no idea what was going on or how to serve a large crowd. It was complete chaos in the theater, and no one had any idea what order the guests had arrived in. After sitting for 30 minutes with no acknowledge from the staff while we witnessed 15 others who arrived after us being given menus, then drinks, and some already receiving their dinner orders, we decided to leave. The manager was contacted to refund our ticket price. He agreed but seemed unconcerned about what was going on upstairs in the theater. Cannot recommend Gilson's unless you can find a time when no one else is visiting.

The movie we saw was pretty entertaining, too. We were in a small theater seating maybe 40 people including several for handicapped visitors. The seats recline easily and we liked that. There is a large attached swing arm that holds drinks and food. The concessions aren't cheap (were they ever?): Popcorn prices are between $9-13 depending on size, drinks $7 and $8. Free refills come with the largest sizes. Matinee tickets are $11. You can buy tickets online or at the theater. The men's restroom was spotless, the women's room a little less so, but not dirty. Overall a good experience.

Clean, and love the reclining seats, with a tray!!! Very comfortable.Staff friendly and helpful.read more
