Here's what customers are saying about Strictly Entertainment:

"Thank you so much for making our wedding so amazing. People are continuing to compliment us on what a great party it was and we know it was because of our great DJ. Adam and I and our families all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. There were people there who apparently never dance and they still got up on the dance floor! It was a better night than we could have ever asked for. Thank You !!!" - Carolyn & Adam Skrodzki (and families) - The Fountains at Walkill Golf

"Thank you so much for your part in making our wedding perfect. All of your help leading up to the wedding with music editing and playlists was extremely helpful. People have been telling us that ours was the best wedding they have ever been to. We know how much entertainment can make or break an event and you made ours a success. Not to mention how much easier it was for us to have one company handling our music and entertainment from the ceremony all the way through the last dance. Also I cannot express enough appreciation for all the little extras you do. From the lighting , to the party favors, to the confetti shower, it made our wedding special and unique. Not to mention the GREAT photos we have as a result. We have no hesitation recommending you to anyone looking for great entertainment. Thanks, you did a wonderful job and we look forward to working with you again."  - Aimee & Ryan Swan - The Villa Borghese

"Gary dj'd our wedding on October 8, 2005, he did an awesome job. We have heard from many of our guests that our wedding was a blast and we know that Gary played a huge role in setting the tone! Before we were engaged we were guests at a wedding dj'd by Gary. We both realized that he was the best DJ we had ever heard. One of the best parts of our wedding was the fact that people were on the dance floor from the beginning of the reception right up to the very end. Gary also included all of our special requests! We highly recommend Gary!. He is personable, reliable, and great at what he does!"  --Cheryl & Peter - Walkill Golf Club

"Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day. We both had a wonderful time and many of our guests have told us they did as well. Not only did you play a variety of music that everyone could enjoy, you interacted with the guests and had them up dancing all night. We especially liked how personable and reliable you were from the very start. We hope to work with you again someday."  --Jason and Melissa - Walkill Golf Club
