    Awesome job Jim at Gobo - You made the evening perfect

    Wanted to give a shout out to Jim Spann, at GOBO Entertainment, for DJ services he provided at our wedding in Austin TX. 10 stars

    One of the several reasons I liked Jim, on top of his great selection of music he provided:

    Put in the Time - Jim came to the wedding site weeks prior to the event, to see what was needed, where he would set up, and review the necessary equipment and lighting. He was 100% prepared the day of the wedding.

    Punctual - The day of the wedding he arrived well before his arrival time to get set up.

    Knows his music – We provided some “required to play” music, and from that he pulled together music from the same genre, with a spattering of old classic tunes and pulled some songs on the fly. You don’t always know exactly what you want to hear, but when you hear it, you know that was EXACTLY what you wanted. Jim is professional, personable, "DJ dressed", and good energy……and he knows who the “the star is”…..US, the WEDDING COUPLE!!!! How many times have you been to an event, and the DJ thinks they are the star, with overbearing /over the top loud music.

    Flexible: - We ended up having such a blast, we extended our time, and he was flexible in doing this. Anytime, I need DJ services, Jim is my go to person. Thank you so much Jim/Gobo Entertainment!!

    Awesome Job Jim!!!!
    Thank you so much
    Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Smith,
    Austin, TX

    DJ Larry rocks!

    Larry from GoBo Entertainment took care of all of the sound and music needs at my husband’s and my vow renewal ceremony and reception. I had very specific music choices for each element of the celebration, and I was very happy that Larry played everything I wanted to hear. He even played back-to-back Bon Jovi songs during the dance party which made me ecstatic!!

    Gobo Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks for your review Cari! Dj Larry Page loved entertaining at your event and loved your choice of venue! Thanks again and many more happy years of marriage! Jim Spann, GoboEntertainment.com

    Maurice is such an AMAZING DJ! I recommended him to anyone and everyone!

    Since hiring Gobo Entertainment Maurice (our wedding DJ) was always in constant contact with me (the bride) via emails, phone calls, and text messages. I wrote out our song list for Maurice and he made sure to play every single song on my list. He even double and triple checked everything was correct before the wedding. Unfortunately our AC went out at our indoors reception area and that’s where Maurice had all his equipment set up. 2-3 hours in to our reception, I could not take the heat anymore and asked Maurice if we could move his equipment and the party outside because we were all dying of heat. Maurice’s exact words were “Give me 30 minutes and I will have everything set up outside for you. Whatever is going to make you happy, I will do!” Like what DJ would move ALL of his heavy equipment to a whole other area just to make sure you’re satisfied and in the middle of our reception?! Maurice was truly the best. I could not have asked for better! All of my guest were sooo happy with his songs and his amazing, fun, spirit. I seriously cannot recommenced Global Entertainment (DJ Maurice) enough!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for delivering such an incredible memorable experience.

    The Jamon Family.

    Thank you so much for your review Natasidi! You were a dream to work with and DJ Reece (Mauricio) thoroughly enjoyed your crowd. It's too bad the air conditioning went out on your most special day but "the show must go on!". I'm so happy he accommodated you and your guests to help make it a wedding reception you'll remember for a long time. Cheers to many happy years of marriage! Jim Spann, GoboEntertainment.com

    DAX Was AWESOME!!! Gobo Entertainment is the perfect DJ for a wedding. He was an MC, but not too involved. My guest had an amazing time, he really new how to keep the party going!

    Gobo Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks for letting us know Shannon! DJ Dax has had a lot of performance experience in his "live" cover dance band and as a wedding DJ. I appreciate hearing he wasn't overbearing as an MC. That's our "Gobo Style", keeping everything flowing and adding energy when the dance party starts. Have a happy life together! Jim

    Amazing music, customer service - so fun & great!

    Jim Spann was such a pleasure to work with! The online system to add music, wedding schedule, etc. was wonderful to have - even was able to let my maid of honor add on. And day of - he was awesome - couldn't have been better and played all our songs & kept the party going! So glad we had him there on our best day ever! You're crazy not to have them at your party or wedding!

    On behalf of our organization, I can say that we had a wonderful experience with Jim Spann and would definitely hire him again! He was courteous, professional and did a great job catering to our organization's theme. Jim was able to keep our crowd engaged the entire evening, he even had the kids at our event doing the floss to Bollywood music, I cannot recommend him enough!

    We booked our venue with The Hills of Lakeway which included our DJ and I'm so happy that they did because GOBO was perfect. Jim was responsive even though we did choose our ceremony and reception songs last minute. Larry was our DJ and he was the best. He was easy to work with, played all our requested songs and got many of our guests to dance. Thank you for helping us celebrate our wedding day.

    Everything went completely smoothly on our wedding day and Marcellus was great. He was extremely flexible through the whole music selection process before the wedding and had a great feel for the environment on the night of and mixed it up really well. Would recommend him to anyone.

    Jim @ Gobo was amazing!! I hired him in the month leading up to our wedding when I had to unexpectedly find another DJ. Having great music at our wedding was important to us and when we spoke on the phone Jim was extremely knowledgeable, up front, and super easy to work with. Not to mention affordable. Their online forms and database were easy to use and let us choose any particular music we wanted played during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. One the day of he arrived early, was flexible, and worked easily with my wedding planner. Gobo's setup design was very clean and streamlined, no messy cables and it didn't take up a whole lot of space. He did a great job of listening to the crowd and keeping people dancing.

    Thank you so much for helping make our whole wedding go off without a hitch and for making it SO fun!

    Jim was so wonderful to work with during the planning process and also our wedding! He is well experienced and we could tell he really enjoys his work. He listened to our specific requests, and even played one of the songs back to us over the phone a couple of days before the wedding to make sure that he had the correct version, which was so appreciated! Overall it was a fantastic experience! Thanks so much for keeping our party bumpin'!

    We had Marcellus and he was absolutely AMAZING! We had SO MUCH fun planning with him and all VERY last minute. My husband did NOT want to book a DJ because he wanted to save the money and do it all himself. After MUCH convincing we booked the month of our wedding and they got us in. Marcellus kept us all entertained and kept to our timeline. Thank you GoBo for such a great service!

    Gobo Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for your review Brittany! I'm so glad you and your husband asked Gobo to DJ and MC your reception. I know he is a musician and had the equipment to do the music himself but we're so happy he allowed us to entertain your crowd. He was able to enjoy the reception more instead of working it :). You were wonderful to work with and let us know if we can do anything for you in the future. Yours truly, Gobo Entertainment

    DJ Mars was our DJ for our wedding. He was quick to return emails and phone calls and really worked with us to get exactly what we wanted for both the ceremony and the reception. He played great music and our dance floor was full almost the entire time! He was fun and was a real crowd pleaser! We would highly recommend him.

    We really appreciate your review Hannah! You were wonderful to work with and thank you for noticing our attention to detail and packed dance floor! All the best to you two and have a great life together! Jim S.

    Jim was so easy going and flexible to work with. We made contact months before the wedding and he checked in periodically before the wedding. He made sure we heard our "must play" songs at the reception. He was so friendly with our guests and did a great job of getting our guests pumped up without commanding too much attention. We loved his personality and his attitude and he has an impressive library of music. I highly recommend Jim especially if you like Texas country--he has a huge library of music and is always looking to add more. Overall a great experience!

    Gobo Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much for your sweet and generous compliments Brittany! You had a most beautiful wedding at a wonderful location where even the weather cooperated for your special day. Loads of rain the day before and after but NOT on your wedding day! All of your vendors were top shelf and your large number of guests danced the night away. It was so much fun entertaining them. Thanks again and may you two have a wonderful marriage. Jim

    We cannot say enough good things about Gobo Entertainment! From start to finish, they were extremely helpful.

    DJ Jim was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was exactly what we were looking for--experienced, able to make suggestions and execute to our desires and right down to the day of, very flexible and able to go with the flow to keep us and our guests happy. He was wonderful and we would recommend him over and over again! Thanks, Jim!

    Marcellus was our DJ for a large Disco Party themed after Saturday Night Fever in Lakeway Tx. He brought great lighting, sound system, and enthusiasm. He even dressed the part. Our 180 guests had a great time. I would definitely recommend Marcellus to DJ a party again.

    Marcellus Petty the DJ for our wedding. He was on top of thing before and after the wedding. He took care of everything from A-Z. He was on time and very professional! Marcellus was interactive and fun! I would recommend him and would use him again for any event I would need a DJ for. Amber was also very professional and on top of the photo booth. Again hands down to Marclus for all you did for use on our big day! Thank you

    Jennifers and Keith Bailey!

    We loved Dax, our DJ through GOBO Entertainment! The GOBO website system was pretty easy to use - there were some problems with some fields populating correctly, but Dax and I were in contact pretty quickly to work out all of those details. The system made it super simple for our guests to request songs which I loved and really appreciated.

    We wanted the first hour or so of our reception to be Christian music, and Dax downloaded a ton of songs that we requested - I know that Christian music is not a normal staple for DJs, and he handled our music requests with ease and no problems - I would definitely recommended GOBO, and especially Dax, for your wedding!

    Gobo Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review Brittney! Dax is awesome and we are so happy you loved our services. Our online planning forms were updated right as you were filling yours out so some of the fields weren't populating at the time. They are all working now and we apologize for your inconvenience. Cheers again to your Happy Marriage!

    We worked with Jim Spann out of the San Antonio TX office to do a photo booth for our wedding. It was AMAZING! We had a subtle super hero theme for our wedding and he brought some super hero props, even a Spider-Man mask and Captain America shied! Everyone complimented us on what a fabulous idea the photo booth was, and what a great time they had. I would highly recommend Gobo and request Jim Spann, he's the best!!!!

    Gobo Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks Theresa and Scott! Your Reception was a BLAST with the Super Heroes Theme! Thanks for having us! Jim

    Jim was AMAZING! The music for the ceremony went perfectly, the timing was perfect. The selection for the rest of the night was fantastic! He was so responsive to what the guests (and myself) wanted to hear and most importantly, dance to!
    I am so lucky to have found this gem of a DJ!
