Feedback
- This was the second time we had him and he did a wonderful job again! He is very professional and focused on playing the songs and requests of all. You can give him a list of songs before he comes to your event. We liked him and will have him again I am sure! -- John S, Berwick, PA, 7/9/2011
- The Boss was great. First off we forgot to have a table set-up for him and he just pulled up a little end table and said "I'm good!"... and he was. Most of our guests and friends are mid 20 somethings and the Boss Knew exactely what to play to get, as my wife put it, our dance-party-wedding going. He was friendly and accomadating to myself and our guest. If we weren't moving to San Diego, we'd def use him again. -- Matt S, Ambler, PA, 5/22/2010
- Ed was very helpful and very easy to deal with from beginning to end, especially when it came to last-minute requests -- and he even gave us some wine suggestions for our honeymoon in Napa Valley! Definitely recommended. -- Morgan B, Rose Valley, PA, 10/17/2010
- Ed is a great guy. Nowadays it might not be the smartest thing...but we basically did everything like it should be done...."by a handshake and your word". I didn't have to worry about contracts and all that B.S. Ed gave me the price, said he'd be there on the day of the party and he did what he was hired to do. I couldn't have asked for anything more. If your not familiar with hiring DJ's (like I was) and have an "old school" way of thinking you'll be pleasantly surprised. I guess 20-30 yrs in the business helps. Thanks for everything Ed...everyone had a great time. Tom -- Tom S, Upper Darby, PA, 10/30/2010
- ED WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY EVERYTHING THAT WE EXPECTED. -- Ellen S, Folcroft, PA, 10/22/2011
- Boss G promptly answered all communications pre-party and did a very competent and wonderful job in providing the musical entertainment to the party. -- Donna B, Fort Washington, PA, 1/8/2011
- I'm taking it upon myself to change Ed's alias to "The AMAZING Boss Groover". Ed was terrific! We had an "After-Elopement-Celebration-Party" for close to 90 of our friends and family and the dance floor was packed all night. Ed had everyone up dancing- from a 6-yr old all the way up to my 87 yr old grandmother! The music was fantastic. Everyone had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend to ANYONE that needs a Professional DJ, The Amazing Boss Groover is your guy!!! :) -- Christine H, Conshohocken, PA, 8/16/2008
- Ed was AMAZING! We were under a deadline and I was really quite unusual with my requests. The Boss Groover went above and beyond all expectations and met every request with professionalism and concern. I would recommend to every person entering the site to check out The Boss Groover...amazing doesn't even seem adequate. He returned every call before the event. Spoke with us regularly to make sure all needs were met. What he didn't have, he went out and found and made sure our requests were covered. The crowd of 300 were all complimentary and even asked for the CD of music. Thank you to Ed and the Gigmaster sight, you ROCK! -- Miffy R, Jim Thorpe, PA, 10/21/2007
- We hired Ed to do an "American Bandstand" themed party for our organization. As our organization is national in scope, the local host committee wanted Philly to look good, and Ed did a fantastic job in helping this to happen. Ed has an obvious passion for music, and for his gigs, and truly loves what he does. He is also very easy to deal with. Most importantly, the people at the party had a great time, which is what it is all about. Long live the Bossgroover! -- Thomas M, Philadelphia, PA, 5/28/2010
- The Boss Groover kindly performed at my wedding on his own anniversary! And he was very accomodating to our bizzare music requests and my Neil Diamond impersonating father in law. Would recommend him to other clients. -- Jessica D, Media, PA, 10/31/2010
- We were so happy with how the Reception went and that all of our songs were played. Ed did a wonderful job! -- Kristen R, Minquadale, DE, 8/28/2010
- Great guy, knows his music, was able to get all the songs requested by my teenager. Kept the party going and everyone had fun. -- Cyril K, Huntingdon Valley, PA, 8/29/2009
- Ed was very efficient and arrived well before the party. He was very nice to all of our guests and certainly has an enormous repertoire of music. I would definitely use him again if I needed a DJ and he was willing to travel. -- Judy F, Galloway, NJ, 5/30/2009
- Guests at our event just loved how diverse Boss Groover's music library was, and many enjoyed songs they hadn't heard for years. He played a great mix of music for the group that was in attendance, and a wonderful time was had by all. We'd definitely consider using Boss Groover in the future! -- Connie G, Willingboro, NJ, 12/27/2008
- The Boss Groover was professional, reliable, and easy to work with. The sound was great and I would definitely recommend him to anyone and use him again myself. -- Steve W, Pattenburg, NJ, 5/9/2009
- The party was a tremendous success and I believe that Ed Duetch was
a factor in that success. I enjoyed the music he played and appreciated
his help in involving the young children in games and music
Thanks Boss -- Larry R, Far Hills, NJ, 7/4/2010
- He was quite accommodating to the variety of requests my family entered on his site. His party planning tool made controlling the chaos of 7 siblings opinions a breeze. Highly recommended. -- Cj K, Toms River, NJ, 1/3/2009
- We hired The Boss Groover, Ed, for our Dad's surprise 60th birthday. With Oldies music as the theme, we needed some help. Ed went above and beyond from the moment we accepted his bid. He had the experience we needed and the personality we wanted. We told him a few of Dad's favorite songs. With that, he created four hours of timeless memories. (Without a break!) Dad was impressed and truely entertained! Ed even gave our Dad a CD with the favorite songs as a gift. He was always easy to reach and is a really great guy. We would refer him to anyone. He knows his music and made it a worry-free experience for us. We can't wait to have him back for Dad's 70th! Glad we found you, Ed! Sincerely, The Fanelli family -- Donna F, Philadelphia, PA, 9/10/2006
- FABULOUS EXPERIENCE! COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH "THE BOSS"! HE KNOWS HIS MUSIC!
I threw a Surprise 60th Birthday Party for my Boyfriend and I hired The Boss, sight unseen, from this Internet Website. He was incredibly professional. He answered me via e-mail right away and then followed up with a phone call. I could tell by talking with him he really knew his music by the ideas he gave me. He showed up early that night to set up, dressed professionally and was very cordial to everyone. He has the very latest technology in equipment, which took up very little space. To top it off -he made up a personal CD with favorite songs played that night as a gift! WOW! -- Janet W, Wilmington, DE, 9/1/2007
- Ed arrived right on schedule, set up and the music began. Everyone at our graduation party had a great time. People were dancing and singing the whole time. We had a great mix of music from current to reggae to oldies. We will definitely use The Boss Groover for our next affair. -- Kathy G, West Conshohocken, PA, 7/29/2007
- From beginning to end, the music was exactly what my husband would have picked himself, had this not been a surprise party. Ed played all of his favorites, and was very accommodating. He made the party a great success. Our guests, and my husband, are still talking about the great time they had. Our choice of DJ could not have been better! -- Frances H, Hockessin, DE, 10/6/2007
- Ed from The Boss Groover's Musc From The Grooveyard was a complete and total pleasure to work with and have at our party! He played of all my Mom's favorites, since it was a party in her honor. He even had her favorite Nina Simone! And he made her a very special CD to commemorate the occasion, and there were 19 songs on it! Ed is a total music lover with a very, very extensive music collection. Plus, his website is organized and easy-to-use. I would recommend Ed to anyone having any party or special occasion...we all had a BLAST!! Thanks so much Ed! -- Shana S, Beverly, NJ, 6/16/2007
- A wonderful time was had by all! For a 60th surprise party, Boss Groover was able to take my mother, our family and her life long pals on a pleasant trip down memory lane c. 1950s and 60s. Ed was professional, very knowledgable about his "avocation" and a really nice guy! He was able to dig up some 'not to often heard' songs much to our guests' delight. His play list is very extensive and if its not on the list, let him know and he'll find it for your party. Ed did a fabulous job. Thanks Ed, it was a pleasure. -- Janet F, Hatboro, PA, 9/23/2006
- The Boss Groover provided a night of great music for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday party. He appealed to a wide range of musical tastes and ages and managed to get everyone up on the dance floor. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. -- Janet C, Yardley, PA, 4/21/2007
- The Boss Groover was dressed nicely for the occasion. The lighting system was phenominal and really helped to further the spirit of the party. The quality of the sound system was astounding as well; the quality of the music was delivered in the best possible way. -- John S, Berwick, PA, 6/21/2008
- He was exactly what we needed for our party. Thank You Ed.

I would hire Ed and recommend Ed as well.
Thanks - Frank. -- Frank M, Bryn Mawr, PA, 7/14/2006
- Excellent for anniversaries and reunions. Was very fast with contacting me and great with communication. Willing to add whatever we wanted to play list ahead of time if we had a special request.
Very easy to work with.
-- Evelyn O, Philadelphia, PA, 10/22/2005
- He arrived promtly and was very accomidating to last minute changes we made. He played music during our ceremony and our reception. He did a nice job. -- Stephanie C, Newtown Square, PA, 1/20/2007
- Great job. -- Debbie W, Havertown, PA, 5/31/2008
- Everyone loved the selection of music--very appropriate for our crowd.
Thank again. -- Laura D, East Earl, PA, 9/27/2008
- Boss Groover was very professional and personable. He accommodated a few special requests during the reception. The dinner music was PERFECT as a playlist was not given to him, just the idea for the music.
The only issue we had was that the custom songs that we had added to the playlist were not available for the reception.
I would highly recommend him to host other events. -- Jennifer M, Philadelphia, PA, 2/8/2009
- Ed was easy to work with and very flexible with meeting us to discuss our details for the wedding. I think he did do everything he said he would do and had everyone on the dance floor. I would recommend him for other events. -- Tess C, Bethlehem, PA, 6/5/2010
