    Dancing all night!

    Shawn did an excellent job DJing our wedding.
    Shawn was extremely responsive In our wedding planning process, speaking to us regularly for planning and doing a zoom session. When it came to the wedding day, Shawn knew our schedule and did an excellent job keeping things on track. Shawn also played great music, and everyone was dancing all night long. I highly recommend Shawn to anyone who wants to keep people on the dance floor.
    Thanks Shawn!

    We had so much fun!!!

    As did all of our guests! Shawn understood the assignment, as I told him we would have an older crowd at our wedding. The median age was probably 60 to 65. He knew exactly what to do to get everybody up and dancing... And when my 70+ year old uncle requested Lady Gaga, he got exactly what he wanted! Shawn was excellent with communication and understanding some sensitive family issues as well. We danced, we played games, everyone had a blast! Thank you, Shawn, for everything!!!

    Shawn packed the dance floor!!

    Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him!

    Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He also played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional!

    Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

    Shawn was amazing!

    Shawn was amazing from start to finish… he was so attentive, organized, and seriously the best DJ. He kept our wedding on the dance floor the whole night and the glow package was such a hit. Don’t forget to add his other services!!! Friends and family we’re obsessed with the audio guest book and Photo Booth. I can not thank Shawn enough for such an amazing time.

    You will NOT regret hiring Shawn as your wedding DJ!

    Shawn was great to work with! The pre-wedding questionnaire was very detailed and hit every aspect of the wedding you could think of! He red the crowd and played perfect music to keep the dance floor full throughout the night! I was very impressed with his song choices and was very happy I chose him to DJ our wedding! He also sent us pictures and videos he took throughout the night which were awesome! I highly recommend using Shawn as your DJ!

    Danced non-stop

    We hired Shawn for our wedding in June and he kept the dancing going all night! He knew when to play certain songs to keep the evening flowing with good energy.

    The best dj!

    Shawn was the most incredible DJ to work with. We were nervous about finding a good DJ because we have friends who've had some pretty bad experiences. From the first phone call we felt like Shawn was the perfect fit. We are still receiving compliments from our wedding guests about how great he was! He played all of the songs we asked him to and took requests from our family. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with his musical selections. Seriously cannot emphasize enough how great he was. And, he is very affordable! Highly recommend!

    Shawn is truly the best!

    Shawn provided services for my wedding for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! He was professional and detailed really wanting to be sure we had everything we wanted. He was funny and had us all laughing and having fun. The selection of music he played was absolutely perfect. Couldn’t recommend enough!

    Our Favorite Vendor of the Entire Wedding!

    Shawn is simply OUTSTANDING! We had messaged several DJs as you do when searching. I knew right off the bat that he was our pick. His super informed introductory message made me positive he would be ON TOP of it! He kept in touch with me frequently and was super detailed with making sure he provided the music we wanted, that the correct songs were played at the correct times etc.

    Great variety of music. Awesome party lights. Fantastic vibe.

    I will recommend to any and everyone!

    THANKS SHAWN!

    P.S. thanks again for my end of night requested Backstreet Boys concert. I had an absolute blast! 🤣

    The BEST Wedding DJ!

    Shawn was absolutely the best DJ! He also DJ’d my best friend’s wedding - that’s how I knew I needed him to be ours, too! He was responsive, helpful, kind, funny, and made the whole process easy and fun. I was a little crazy with my questions and emails and he was so awesome every time we spoke! Even called and talked to me about my thoughts and concerns about our ceremony music. He did so awesome with our uplighting and party lights, too! My husband and I highly recommend Shawn! :)

Our guests raved about how much fun they had! Shawn kept the music going all night and the dance floor was always packed!! We highly recommended Shawn for any DJ services!!

    The best DJ!

    If you are looking for a DJ I HIGHLY recommend Shawn. We hired him for our wedding at The Century House and he was the best! He kept the guests out on that floor all night long!! He’s extremely friendly and easy going, he always responded quickly.. so fun to work with. All around great guy! My wedding was a dream come true and Shawn played a huge part in that! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.

    Pure Happiness

    You were always there to answer a question for us when needed. You were a life saver when we had to make last minute changes. You helped our wedding come alive with your DJ Talent. Best part you captured a video of us dancing that nobody got. Thank You so much.

    Couldn’t Have Asked for Better

    Shawn was AMAZING! He was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. He was thorough with his paperwork to ensure that everything was exactly how we wanted it! You never know what to expect when you hire a vendor you’ve never used before but I can tell you it’s definitely worth it to book Shawn! He answered messages extremely fast and accommodated a lot of last minute changes and answered any questions we had. We had Shawn play music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The music he played was great and he was also very funny and had a great personality. People were dancing all night and he always had a quick joke or something to say to keep things light when something didn’t go as planned. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more and we are so happy we made the decision to go with Shawn for our wedding DJ!

    Shawn is Awesome!

    Shawn was our DJ for our wedding on 7/17/2021. From the beginning, he was very responsive and worked with us as we figured out how navigate the tough Covid Environment. Our ceremony looked a little different, but he was there every step of the way and very accommodating. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we would need. He was prompt, patient, communicative, and I knew I had nothing to worry about with him. Thank you Shawn for making our wedding memorable and so much fun!

    Couldn’t have picked a better DJ

    Our wedding was the perfect day, and Shawn Gille is such a big part of that. He took requests, played a wide array of music (per our taste), and kept everyone up and dancing the whole night. He is a professional, attentive DJ and I would hire him again and again.
