If you go with GEC Events, request Chris Acosta for your DJ!!! We hired him to DJ our wedding and…read morefrom the beginning he was communicative, professional, and extremely patient with us. He understood the wedding planning process and would kindly check in periodically before the big day. When I sent him our playlist / song requests along with timeline of which songs to play for which dances and when speeches would be, etc, he was concise and reassuring. The day of the wedding, he found the right moment to ask me if we preferred to be announced as Mr and Mrs ____ or by our first and last names, etc. and I thought that was such a nice touch and something I never would have thought about! Made it feel like we were taken care of by a real pro. We continued to feel this way the entire night as there was not a single hiccup in any of the setup, coordinating with our event planner, in any song or audio or timing or anything! He was FLAWLESS!!! Not to mention, both his PA system for the ceremony, as well as his DJ speaker system were top quality, and we realllllly got to get down at the reception! Perfect for an 80 person wedding, and he knew just how to get everyone on the dance floor. At one point I looked out at our dining tables and only 3 people of 80 were sitting, the rest were on the dance floor. And to top it off, at the end of the night, he made sure to find both of us and ask us what we wanted for our last song. We were so caught up in seeing everyone that we never would have thought to have that, but stopping to end cap the night dancing together was one of the highlights and it was thanks to Chris for making that memory happen. My recommendation for Chris is above and beyond what I could have asked for on our special day. He's seriously the best and I hope you have the pleasure of getting Chris to make your big day as wonderful as ours! Thank you, Chris!!!!!!! -Tony and Fae

I contracted with a reunion company for my high school class's 50th reunion, so it wasn't a direct…read morehire of LTMP. I had no choice. LTMP hired a DJ, Larry, to work our reunion. All went well initially with communication with Alan, the head of LTMP, until the week before the reunion, when I needed to speak to THE DJ who was going to be working the reunion, about the music for an In Memoriam (Powerpoint slide production of those who have passed away) I planned to do, and have the DJ play music to accompany it. The presentation was longer than the music I had selected, so the music needed to be repeated. There was also another issue regarding a classmate who would be attending who fancies himself an "entertainer" (NOT) possibly wanting to take over the mic or the program during the reunion; and when the dancing would begin during the evening; and that we wanted music from 1960-1972. Finally, four days before the reunion, I was able to get Alan to have Larry contact me after a few failed attempts. The conversation went well, I thought, with Larry agreeing to do a dry run rehearsal of the In Memoriam after he had set up at the reunion venue, agreeing not to let anyone take over the mic or the program, but he then TOLD me he would be playing dance music at a low volume during dinner or while these almost 70-year-olds would be talking (Hearing issues are a problem). I said no, I didn't want dance music played until the actual dancing was to begin - I wanted low and slow music. He then said he would be my slave for the evening (which I now believe was extreme sarcasm). After arriving at the venue, Larry refused to do a practice run through of the music for the In Memoriam. As a result, halfway through the slide presentation that evening, using a wonderful instrumental rendition of Tears from Heaven, the music abruptly stopped, there was electronic screeching noise, and after about 30 seconds, it continued. A complete failure on Larry's part to segue into the replay of the music, and he spent that 30 seconds fumbling around like he didn't know what he was doing. Drinking? Drugs? I have no idea what the problem was. At the minimum, gross incompetence. As for the music played during the evening, a good part of it was NOT 1960s to early 70s music. So Larry had his own agenda and own playlist for the evening. For someone who told me he'd been doing the decade of the 1960s reunions for many years, one would think he would have a playlist of many slow, medium and fast tunes prepared to play as appropriate during the evening, and understand that we of a 'certain age' can't hear one another speak with background 'noise' which included a high volume of other people talking, PLUS too loud music. The whole idea of the reunion was for people to reconnect. Larry had his own agenda. I spent most of the evening asking the DJ to turn the music down. Fortunately, a representative of the reunion company was present, and I went to him for help. He spoke to the DJ, but a while later confirmed with me that Larry wasn't listening to him any more than he had listened to me. And, when the dancing began, Larry INTRODUCED the classmate I had warned Larry about not letting take over the evening, so this person could act like an idiot out on the dance floor. What he ended up doing was driving everyone else off the dance floor. The final straw was that Larry, who apparently also fancies himself a singer, began singing a few bars at the beginning of one of the pieces of music he played during the dancing timeframe. Fortunately, it didn't last, as he was horribly off key. REALLY?? While most of my classmates were unaware of the issues during the evening (because I repeatedly had Larry tone down the music), they were all aware of what occurred during the In Memoriam and that he had introduced the idiot classmate. Most classmates were too classy to say anything to my face but later on I received 2nd hand information as to their thoughts on Larry's job as DJ, and they gave him an F. So while Alan wasn't the DJ for this last reunion of people who really wanted to see and talk to as many as possible that night, it was Alan who hired the worst DJ ever. The following Monday, the reunion company representative and I both voiced our complaints to the reunion company higher-ups, who took it to Alan, who communicated our displeasure to Larry. Larry then sent me a disagreeable email about the fact that I had complained about him, which I forwarded back to the reunion company and Alan, who then promptly fired Larry. Larry then sent me another negative text message telling me that I had had him fired. Nice. That too was forwarded back to Alan and the reunion company. My complaint with Alan and his company Let the Music Play is that he even had such a person working under the LTMP umbrella to work at a once in a lifetime LAST gathering of classmates. If you are a heading up a reunion or other function, and Alan isn't going to be the DJ, think twice.

DJ RAY ALL DAY!!!!…read more We truly could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding than DJ Ray. From our very first conversation, he was warm, kind, approachable, and very easy to talk to, always putting us at ease. He constantly reassured us that the day was about us and that his goal was to make everything exactly how we envisioned it, which meant so much. That level of care and flexibility meant so much throughout the planning process. One thing that really stood out was how much time and attention he gave us before the wedding. He met with us over Zoom to go through every detail, answer questions, and make sure he fully understood the vibe we wanted for each part of the day. He never made us feel rushed and genuinely listened to all of our ideas, preferences, and concerns. We went into that last call so stressed out and left the call 10x more calm and reassured. It felt less like working with a vendor and more like working with someone who truly cared about making our wedding unforgettable. His song planning system and app were also amazing and super organized / easy to navigate for each section of the day. Everything was laid out so clearly, which made planning the music stress-free and actually really fun. On the wedding day itself, DJ Ray absolutely exceeded our expectations. The music flowed perfectly all night long, transitions were seamless, and he did an incredible job reading the crowd and keeping the energy up. We had a special Lebanese grand entrance with drums and specific songs in a specific order to be timed a certain way and he absolutely NAILED it. He even took the time to meet with that group to make sure it all went seamlessly. Also, every announcement was professional and polished, and the entire evening felt smooth and effortless because he was so on top of everything behind the scenes. Beyond being talented at what he does, DJ Ray is simply a wonderful person to work with. He is professional, responsive, organized, flexible, and genuinely passionate about creating an amazing experience. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music and atmosphere, and we honestly owe so much of the fun and energy of our wedding to him. Not to mention the AWESOME video he put together that we can't stop watching!!!! If you are looking for a DJ who truly listens, cares about your vision, keeps the planning process organized and stress-free, and absolutely delivers on the big day, we cannot recommend DJ Ray highly enough. He played such a huge role in making our wedding feel magical, personal, and unforgettable. Thank you Ray!!!!!
