DJ Reviews

“We were connected with Dave and hired him to DJ a combined birthday celebration for our 9 & 3 year old boys, a family fun outdoor evening event at our home for ~100 guests! He was SUPER outgoing, professional and organized! He was so great throughout the introduction and planning process. Best communication and expectation setting I have ever experienced with a vendor, and he followed a well defined, clearly laid out process. He paid close attention to every idea, style /vibe we mentioned for the night. We said we wanted to downplay the traditional birthday party stuff, and just ensure everyone young and old had fun! We wanted all modern dance/fast music, no traditional slow or corny songs. He was totally listening to us!! He took our queue, he had a great line up of songs, he adjusted to schedule changes on the fly and he took all the requests that came his way (entertaining so many from us and the kids)! He was such a good sport! We didn’t have the best weather and he was a trooper and kept our guests dancing in the rain! He tied in our entertainment events and fireworks, and played songs to match and intro those!! Our boys and their friends had the best time, and so did all the adults! We would love to have DJ Dave back every year! Happy to provide a reference call if needed also!!”

“We hired DJ Dave for our wedding at the Nahant Country Club, and he was fantastic! He helped us every step of the way with the planning, the music, and formalities. Even when there were last minute changes made, DJ Dave didnt skip a beat! He took such a huge weight off our shoulders that day, and we are forever grateful for that. He is also very affordable for the amazing experience he delivers. In addition, we absolutely loved the custom monogram addition that projected our names over our wedding cake! We couldn’t have been happier!”

“DJ Dave Gilman is the best! We have a party every summer with about 150 people and have had Dave as our DJ for the past 5 years. He has made our party more enjoyable than ever! Our guests are of all ages and he knows what to play to make everyone happy. By the end of the evening everyone is up and dancing! It wouldn’t be the same without him! Love you, Dave!”

“Dave was the DJ at our Winter Wonderland wedding held at our home. He was very easy to work with, professional, and accommodating. In addition, he made some great music suggestions, and helped us put together a wonderful selection of music that appealed to everybody including my son. He even got my now husband Stephen to dance which I wasn’t sure would happen! I’d definitely recommend Dave!”

“I hired Dave to DJ my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. He far exceeded my/our expectations. He created a relevant song selection specifically for my parents, their guests and the younger guests. The selection spanned from the 40’s through today. My parents had a day that they will never forget. We will be calling Dave again.“

“We selected Dave as our wedding DJ & MC at the Sanctuary music and event venue in Maynard. Communication and responsiveness was excellent, leading up to the event. Dave matched our vision for the day and provided us with a customized playlist that perfectly complemented each moment. Our guests are still raving about the evening’s music. Dave was easily able to shift gears when needed to keep our guests dancing. Nearly everyone remained on the dance floor throughout the entire night!! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding day unforgettable. Highly recommend Dave for your next event!”

“I hired Dave to DJ the Pool Grand Opening at The Regency at Stow. I requested that he play music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s in order to cater to the active adult, 55+ community. He did a really good job, and the community was very pleased. In fact, several people even asked for his contact info for private events.”

“We were very pleased with DJ Dave. His communication prior and during the event were very professional. The party was an outdoor graduation and needed background music for the event. DJ Dave asked appropriate questions during initial conversations to understand the event and our guests in order to provide the appropriate level of entertainment. During the event, we asked if he could extend his time since the guest were having a good time and were staying longer. He was very accommodating and happy to do so. I would recommend DJ Dave since he is easy to work with and professional from start to finish.”

“We hired DJ Dave for a dual graduation party at the Elks. He was easy to work with, played many of our custom requests, and packed the dance floor all night! He had a great setup, and made sure we had a great time! Overall, he was phenomenal! I’d definitely recommend Dave for your party! He’s a blast!”

I would also use him again for any personal events I may have in the future.”

He had the dance floor packed, and also set a nice 50s, 60s, and 70s decade vibe during dinner. He kept us informed of anything we needed and also provided an excellent recommendation for a game to decide the winner of the centerpiece at each table. We can’t recommend Dave highly enough and encourage you to reach out to him for your next event!”

We were so grateful for the plan-ahead phone calls, which helped us stay enthusiastic to plan & gave us confidence leading up to the big day. Our venue was the Elks in Maynard, the Up-lighting really transformed our space and was incredibly more affordable, thanks to Dave. We’re very happy with our experience & would highly recommend.”

“DJ Dave was fantastic for our wedding. He was very responsive in answering all questions and did an amazing job helping us set the perfect tone for our special day. We were a bit more untraditional and asked for a lot of country music to be added to the “party” aspect of the reception. Although it may have been more difficult to keep the “party” vibe with country music, he met that request perfectly! We had a couple of odd requests which he met to perfection and we couldn’t have had a more perfect day (even with the threat of hurricane lee)!”

“DJ Dave was everything we were looking for. He did an amazing job. He was professional and spot on! We were not sure about having a DJ for my mom’s celebration of life, but her love of music made us feel like it was necessary. DJ Dave was reasonably priced. He was on time and set up his own’s station. Everything looked amazing the lighting really transformed the room! I would recommend him 10 out of 10 anytime! Thank you, Dave.”

“Dave was great! Had a fantastic line up of songs, and timed them perfectly to keep the event going smoothly. Very responsive to requests, and created a seamless transition from dinner music, to dancing music and everything in between. Highly recommend!”

“We had Dave DJ my husbands 50th birthday party. I was stressed out enough having an outdoor party in April with an unexpected Nor’easter, so it was truly a relief that the entertainment was top notch. Dave was in constant contact with me about the music choices and went above and beyond to compliment the party theme and have a nice variety of songs for all the guests. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long. He was prompt in showing up for set up and suggested dedications to a couple of attending guests which made it even more special. Thanks so much for everything and being patient with my craziness!”

“Dave DJ’d at our 2024 Junior and Senior prom this year and he did an amazing job. The transitions between songs were great and the set list was pretty solid. We ordered Uplighting with him and it really helped create a fun atmosphere. He was a pleasure to work with, always being super flexible. I definitely recommend booking him for your event.”

“Working with Dave was awesome. He did a great job. The music was spot on. The lighting was perfect for the Jack and Jill. It fit the decorations. And theme of the party. His interaction with the crowd was Great. Reasonably priced for the 4 hour set. I would definitely recommend him for another event. Thanks again, Dave.”

“DJ Dave was awesome! His attention to detail was second to none, and was an integral part in planning for our big day. His passion was evident as was his skill once we found him behind the turn tables. Dave executed on his roll as master of ceremony and party DJ perfectly, and the photo booth was one of the biggest hits of the night. We would absolutely hire Dave again!!”

“I hired DJ Dave for my mother’s 80th birthday party and took advantage of all the services he had to offer. The uplighting was so pretty, it really changed the look and feel of the hall. The photo booth was a huge hit, everyone loved it! The custom monogram he made, blew me away!!!! The music selection was perfect, it accommodated all age groups. And to top it all off, he helped me put together an amazing slideshow for my mom. I’m so happy that I chose Dave to DJ my mom’s party. He is, by far, the best DJ I’ve ever used and I highly recommend him! Thank you Dave!”
