Feedback

  • John and Kelly were fantastic. They provided DJ services as well as live vocals for our dinner and dancing portion of our wedding reception. The vocal samples on their web site are great - however in person it was outstanding. They were able to read the crowd, determine what to play next and easily responded to our guests requests. They were so approachable and easy to work with - it was a perfect fit! We would recommend hiring them for any musical needs you have. Don't miss out on the live vocals combined with DJ services, our family still talks about it! -- Nora B, Greenwich, CT, 9/12/2009
  • They were fantastic! Everyone was up and dancing and had a great time. Our guests kept asking how we found them. Both Kelly & John are very talented. They sang during the meal courses and were great DJs during the dance sets. Gig Masters is a great way to find talent. We couldn't be happier. They made the wedding reception come alive. -- Marilyn K, New York City, NY, 9/6/2009
  • Alden (John and his wife Kelly) are much more than just DJ's - they both sing- they sing jazz so well that people at the wedding did not believe that it was live singing. So it was both a DJ and live entertainment experience, which was fantastic. THey worked with us closely from the time we signed them up through the day of the event, working with us on song list, special requests, announcements, etc. They continually were perfectly professional and gracious and we felt lucky to have them at our reception. Moreover, they also arranged for the pianist who performed at the cocktail party. -- Daniel R, New Rochelle, NY, 9/29/2007
  • Working with John was a pleasure throughout the entire process-- from booking, till his willingness to stay late when our wedding reception went over time. He was always professional, and clearly knew what he was doing every step of the way. And I highly recommend having him sing at your event as well- he has a great voice – I only wish I had asked him to sing in at our cocktail hour! -- Karen G, Manhattan, NY, 5/2/2009
  • John Alden is the complete professional. The combination of singing and dj-ing he provides is lovely and added something special to our event. Our guests are still complimenting us on the music. Working with John was easy. He was accomodating and worked with us to create an event that was exactly what we were looking for. He played the set-list we provided and incorporated appropriate and complementary music of his own choosing. I would hire John again for an event without question. -- Jen S, West Orange, NJ, 8/23/2008
