    The most fun!

    We were worried about having a DJ at our small wedding (around 50 people) and there just being an empty dance floor. Mr. Gaines was a total hype man at our wedding! Honestly the most fun I've had on the dance floor in a while. He tried to get in all the songs we requested and smoothed the 80's and Latin vibe we had in our mixed wedding. We have no problem recommending his services. A+

    So easy and so professional !

    We loved working the Gaines entertainment. It was very organized and it was so nice having a portal to see payments and keep your music and timeline all together and clear. Louie was our DJ and he was so easy to work with and always responsive and available for questions and making our personalizes happen. Really wonderful experience and made our wedding day so fun. Highly recommend

    Amazing job

    We used Gaines entertainment to dj our wedding and honestly they did a superb job. Louie was very positive and energetic. He helped us in any way we needed .The music selection kept our event lively and our dance floor was never empty. I would recommend Gaines entertainment 120% if I hire a dj for any future events it will be with Gaines. They truly set the bar when it comes to Dj’s. I would like to thank them for an unforgettable night.

    A pleasure to work with!

    Winston was amazing! He helped us decide how we wanted the night to flow and played a great variety of music that ensured everyone was out on the dance floor. He was so professional and even made sure we took the time to have our last dance when things got hectic towards the end of the night. His pricing was a little higher than some of the other DJs we looked at, but was absolutely worth it. Do not let that stop you from working with him and his team – they are truly the best!

    Amazing Service!

    We had a great experience with Gaines Entertainment! Winston was very responsive and helpful in our communication leading up to the event. I appreciated how organized their client portal is- helps make planning easy. And they did a fantastic job during the event itself! Stephen was fun, professional, and kept the dance floor going strong the whole night. He did a good job of getting a feel for our crowd. Would absolutely recommend!

    Best. Dj. Ever.

    YALL! If you’re looking for an amazing DJ, look no further! I truly cannot recommend them enough! DJ Gumby (Winston) was PHENOMENAL! He read the crowd & played the music he knew would get our families out on the dance floor. We got at least 20 compliments on our DJ from friends & family. Their customer service is top notch, when they found out we were one of the couple devastated by the Noah’s closure they went above & beyond what they remotely had to. I 100% recommend them (& their indoor safe sparklers)!

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    Thank you so much for the feedback Kelsey! Your review will be a big help for the next couple that needs help deciding.
    Party on :)

    Louie was excellent!

    We hired Gaines entertainment and spoke to Winston about our wedding dreams and what music we would like played. He recommended DJ Louie who did an amazing job! We are still getting compliments about how that was the best music our guests have heard at a wedding. Even the other vendors, who have attended hundreds of weddings, raved about it. Thank you Louie and Gaines Entertainment for an amazing day!!

    Fantastic news from such an awesome pair. Another happy San Antonio couple! :) Congratulations to your family Vanessa

    Reyna Wedding

    Winston was hired by one of our clients to DJ their wedding ceremony/reception. From a coordinators perspective we felt that he communicated well with us and our client, was very accommodating, upbeat, and read/responded to the crowd well. HEHC would recommend Winston to future clients.

    Amazing DJ

    DJ Gumby was so much fun! He was very detailed with every single step of the reception! He would quickly respond to our emails/messages and he would feel out the crowd to see what kind of music to keep playing! All of my guests loved him and said they had so much fun hands down.

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    Such a fun and memorable Wedding! I'm so proud of you two for doing it YOUR way :) Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your Wedding team.

    Best of luck

    AMAZING!! Highly Recommend

    Gaines Entertainment reached out to us last minute to see if we wanted an indoor sparkler fountain during our first dance. Needless to say, it was beyond AMAZING! We kept it a secret from our guests which made it even more awesome! Highly recommend!!!

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    What an outstanding couple! You two were a joy to be around :) So cool to be a part of moments like this.

    Amazing Wedding DJ!

    Winston was an amazing wedding DJ. He helped us plan every detail from our entrance, to the first dance, to the garter toss, and executed them perfectly. His sound quality and music selection were excellent and the up lighting setup perfectly set the mood for an amazing evening. He's also really fun and energetic, and easy to work with, which is a plus when you're stressed out and rushing around on your big day. We had a lot of people tell us after the wedding that the DJ was so fun and helped make the evening even more memorable.

    So. Much. Fun.

    From start to finish, working with Winston was AWESOME. He was so easy to work with, was quick to answer questions and even had helpful suggestions when we weren't sure how the evening should flow. Not to mention, the dance floor was packed all night. Our guests were a mix of young and old, he played something for everyone which is tough to do! We are still getting compliments on how fun the wedding was. He is without a doubt the best.

    The DJ you deserve for your wedding!

    Winston was probably the best addition to our wedding. He easily understood what we wanted and expected from a DJ. He made the process extremely easy and keeping in contact was punctual. He sent made sure we were on tract with everything else that we needed done for our wedding with his email reminders and though we were out of town for the entire process he made it easy on us to get our DJ questions answered with he face-time consultation. He was excited as much as we were! He asked the general vibe we wanted and he took care of the rest. He played the right tunes and was our personal hype man. He kept the life of the party going through out our wedding, his signature photos make it even better. I recommend him to anyone planning a wedding. He’s the best professional in town!

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    Awesome couple from start to finish! Your Wedding came together like a puzzle from the dollar store....waaay easy lol

    Thanks for communicating your vision in a timely fashion. It made for an enjoyable Wedding day :)

    Our reception was awesome thanks to Gaines Entertainment. We wanted a fun reception, and they made it happen! So many of our friends and family were on the dance floor, even people we didn’t expect. DJ Gumby made the dance floor so welcoming and fun without it being forced. Could not have asked for a better DJ. We wish the night didn’t have to end!!!

    Winston is incredible! We stayed in touch with the planning of my wedding over 6 months, he was always responsive, had great ideas, he met all my requests and more. I wanted to walk down the aisle to a song from my husband's favorite movie, not only did he find it, but he edited it down from 5 minutes to 1 1/2, making sure to include the climax of the song. It had all my guests in tears. He checked on me the entire night, always asking how I was and what I needed. My guests loved him! He was hilarious! Not to mention professional, current, & appropriate. My guests LOVED the photo booth he supplied. He kept us all entertained, every minute of the evening, the dance floor was packed, he made our wedding a celebration of a lifetime!

    Angela,
    You and RJ compliment each other so well. I can see why you wanted to add those personal touches to the ceremony music. Just like you said...there wasn't a dry eye in sight when you entered the room.

    Everything you did was so inclusive. It was awesome to see two cultures (Indian American and Mexican American) party like rockstars! Thank you for the opportunity :)

    We found Winston at a wedding fair and the way he was communicating and answering questions from people immediately made him stand out from all the other DJ's there. We were concerned about spending so much of our wedding budget on the entertainment, but I can safely say my wedding would not have been the same without him. From the second he showed up (right on time btw) he was focused on not only getting himself ready, but getting me whatever I needed as well - including drinks once they started being served. He had a time line of the event and he was communicating with my maid of honor and photographer all night and as a result we ended up being ahead of schedule. He also managed to get almost every person on the dance floor by the end of the night. He definitely didn't just sit there and click a button to make the next song play. He was super interactive without being over the top. I honestly can't say enough good things about this dude. Just book him and save yourself the time and energy worrying about all your other entertainment options.

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    Heeeeey Caitlyn!

    We're thrilled to receive such an amazing review from you. This was our first wedding ceremony and reception at the Rim San Antonio, and what a treat it was :)

    From the hilarious wedding party photos to the powerful mother-son dance (not a dry eye in the house by the way)...you guys rocked it.

    Here's to you and your wonderful family!

    Gaines Entertainment made our wedding so special! All of my guest loved him and I continued to receive complements throughout the night! Winston was great at interacting with my guest and our wedding party, I know our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him.

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    Thank you so much Chelsea! This was a memorable day from start to finish. When we had to change your ceremony from outdoor to indoor within 15 minutes...I knew it was going to be different. BUT your wedding party answered the call and made it happen. That's a moment we'll always remember.

    We can't wait to see what's next for the Galloways!

    Im so glad my husband found Gaines Entertainment Services at Bridal Extravaganza at the Marriott. Winston has been great working with us, my in-laws and wedding coordinator to ensure our day was perfect. There was never a doubt in my mind from first speaking with him that the music and entertainment would be nothing less than great. Winston was punctual with meeting with us after the holiday due to us planning an out of state wedding in our hometown San Antonio. He also has an easy, accessible website to create your event and playlist of music. Our wedding party was very diverse and he ensured everyone had a moment to shine. Winston was willing to work with our band for our second line dance and even stepped in early to get the reception started after dinner. Winston provided services for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to having a stress free and entertained Wedding or event.

    Gaines Entertainment Services's reply:

    Thank you for those kind words Samantha. It was a pleasure to be a part of your special day. From the beautiful ceremony, to your unique grand entrance. This was one to remember :)
    What a great way to kick off 2018!
