We recently had the pleasure of working with GNJ DJ & Photobooth Service, who impressed us with his exceptional professionalism, rapid responsiveness, and punctuality. His outstanding work ethic and ability to read the room resulted in a musical selection that kept our guests thoroughly entertained. He balanced his presence perfectly, stepping into the spotlight with the right tracks and staying ‘invisible’ when necessary, allowing the event to flow naturally. His intuitive understanding of our guests' needs made our event unforgettable.

Hired on Thumbtack

No need to search for anyone else… Gary is the DJ to hire!! All I can say is THANK YOU!! After hiring another pro through Thumbtack, I was let down with their over promising and under delivering 48 hours before my event, I then found GNJ DJ. Let me tell you the quantity of reviews matters. Also if you can find a Top Pro even better! I contacted Gary at the last minute because the other DJ I tried to hire wasn’t working out. After a quick 10 minute call I hired Gary and the party was a success! He played for a diverse crowd and they all loved his play list. He is my go to for all future events. A true professional!

Details: Birthday party • Fewer than 25 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • Pop • Top 40 • Latin • R&B / soul • Home

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with an email or phone greeting (whichever the client is most comfortable with). For weddings and more involved events I will schedule a personal consultation meeting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I played alto & baritone sax in jazz, symphonic, and marching bands giving me a terrific appreciation for all types of music.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My knowledge & appreciation for all styles of music began in grade school while playing the alto & baritone saxophones through highschool, as well as my personal interest in the high end audio equipment. It was a natural fit for me!
