• Vince did a great job. Very reliable and professional. Thanks! -- Beth W, Galesville, MD, 3/24/2006
• WSSC had an employee picnic with over 650 people present. Vincent Higdon from Party Up Entertainment was our DJ that we hired. He was dependable, friendly, and professional. He played great music and had a fantastic sound system. He took request throughout the day, made announcements as needed. We would recommend Party Up Entertainment to other clients and we plan to use this DJ again for future events. -- Theresa B, Ashton, MD, 6/17/2006
• Vincent of Party-Up entertainment was wonderful! He was fun and accomodating, and having him there really was a huge plus to our wedding. I recommend Party-Up to any- and everyone! -- Tricia G, Fairfax, VA, 9/16/2006
• I would like to recommend Party Up, Vince for anyone who is having a wedding ort party. My original DJ never contacted me back, which left me in a tight spot. Vince was available and came to the rescue. He played all the songs that were requested and did a wonderful job, he was very professional, responsive and showed up on time even early. I heard great respeonses from all my guests and many asked how i found him. Vince did a wonderful job and made the night even more perfect. Thanks Ann -- Ann B, Upperco, MD, 8/19/2006
• I was very happy to find GigMaster's on line they were very helpful! I received several bids. Party up Entertainment contacted me by email and then by phone before they were even hired. Once I hired Party up I was then contacted by Vince and the plans begun. Vince was very helpful, easily contacted by phone and email, he responed quickly. The day of the event Vince called me on my cell just to reasure me that today was the day, he was set to go call him if I had any last minute questions or needed to add anything. Vince arrived early to set up and was very reasurring he was great by being very flexiable and was great at going with the flow and adding humor when we were doing "little games" and group participation. His music selection was outstanding and fit into our "theme" of the night. I gave his name and number to 3 people at our event that were interested in hiring him for their next event. My experience with GigMaster's, Party Up Entertainment and Vince was excellent there was not one problem in the whole process. I would highly recommend anyone to use GigMaster's, Party up Entertainment or Vince as their DJ for any occassion without hesitation. I thank them for making my 50th birthday party a success! (without them it would of been a bit on the boring side!) Sandy Wall -- Sandy W, Gaithersburg, MD, 3/31/2007
• Vince did exactly as we asked, providing great music and variety to the event. He was professional, punctual and easy to work with. -- Christian H, Washington, DC, 3/3/2007
• Vince was great. Thanks for everything. My daughters sweet 16 birthday party ended up with a small group of teens and they had a blast singing and dancing with the wonderful picks that Vince chose after reading a few of the girls there. They were so delighted my daughter told me after school the following day that, that is all people kept talking about was her party and how much fun it was! I couldn't have done it with out you Vince...THANKS!!! -- Natalie R, Baltimore, MD, 4/1/2007
• We thought Vince was a terrific d.j. He played a great mix of music that appealed to our crowd of all ages. He was in touch before the party to get information on our song list and the event itself. He was never intrusive on the microphone, using it only to announce the birthday cake, etc. Some of our guests have already asked me for his information for their next event. I would highly recommend Vince. Great service at a great price! Thank you! -- Laura M, Washington, DC, 6/2/2007
• From beginning to end, we had great communication and professionalism. Everyone at the wedding was happy with Vince. He's an A+ DJ. His performance couldn't have been better and he played all of the requests that we made. I am very pleased! -- Linda F, Frederick, MD, 8/5/2007
• Vince was really great. Numerous guests mentioned how wonderful the DJ was and how accommodating and pleasent he was to work with. Setup and ready on time with no hassles for adding an additional hour to the end of the evening since we were all having way too much fun! Highly recommend and will use again for future parties. -- Dan H, Washington, DC, 6/9/2007
• Randy was great - he played all of our requests and was very professional. Thank you! -- Sarah W, Arlington, VA, 12/15/2006
• Vincent did a fabulous job -- arrived early, was very flexible with details upon arrival, got our attendees dancing -- and was professional and communicative throughout. Many thanks for helping to make our event a huge success!! -- Erin C, Elkridge, MD, 10/6/2011
• I absolutely loved Vincent! He knows how to keep folks on the dance floor! And he's a great low-key guy. Not some loud, obnoxious person constantly yelling into a microphone. I would definitely hire him again! -- Kim G, Washington, DC, 12/3/2011
• We were very impressed with Randy Latimer! It almost seemed like he had been to one of our corporate functions before because he played exactly the right songs at the right time to fit our varied crowd. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable so I was able to concentrate on being the hostess of the event without worrying about the music. We are having our corporate party at the same location again next year and will definitely be calling Gig Masters to request Randy as our DJ! I would have no problem recommending Gig Masters and Randy to anyone I know. Thanks for making the process of finding and hiring a DJ so easy and hassle-free! -- Cheryl L, Ellicott City, MD, 12/9/2011
• Vince was excellent, professional, and easy to work with. We had a few minor changes last minute for which Vince flowed very well with. We had a wonderful wedding reception due to him. -- Scott Y, Columbia, MD, 12/17/2011
• Vincent was fantastic! Personable and accommodating! -- Lauren M, Bethesda, MD, 1/14/2012
• We had a great time at our party!!! Randy played a lot of songs designed to get people up and dancing! He did an excellent job. Thank you so much! -- Kathy K, Elkridge, MD, 12/31/2011
• We used Party Up Entertainment DJ Vince Higdon and he really got the party started right away for my daughter's Sweet 16 party. It wasn't long before the dance floor was packed with teenagers. He arrived early and was set up and ready to go long before guests arrived. He also honored my daughter's playlist as well as took requests from the guests. I would highly recommend Vince and will use him again when needed! -- Jenny C, Woodbine, MD, 2/18/2012
• I hired Party Up Entertainment to DJ my daughter's Sweet 16 party and they were spectacular from start to finish. Vince was simply awesome. Not only did he provide a great DJ (DJ Q), he helped me execute on the "nigh club" theme. And DJ Q was simply outstanding!! He contacted us beforehand to learn about what we wanted and took it from there. He knew how to read the crowd and his musical talents made the party!! The morning after the event, I received numerous email messages from parents telling me what a great time their kids had!! One parent (who chose to hang around for the party) described it as a smashing success! Thanks Party Up!!! Nothing but smiles!! -- Gena A, McLean, VA, 5/12/2012
• Vincent Higdon, our DJ from Party-Up Entertainment, was absolutely wonderful! He was accommodating, on time, professional, cordial, and a wonderful host! Party-up made our wedding day a more special/memorable one. Kudos! -- Jamaal C, Rockville, MD, 5/12/2012
