• DJ Buddy Holly was PERFECT for my twin's 14th birthday! We had 68 teenagers for a party at the local rec center and DJ Buddy Holly has a fabulous laser light system and first-class sound system that really made our teen party a huge success. He was able to find clean (radio) versions for all 40+ songs my kids and their friends pre-requested. He also helped get the kids to sing a rousing "Happy Birthday" to my twins, who just beamed as we brought in their cakes --and that was the ONLY time the kids stopped dancing! It was a lot of fun and I have never received so many "thank you; that was fun!" comments from party guests, let alone teens! I HIGHLY recommend him! -- Marcelle C, Burlingame, CA, 12/16/2011
• Great! Very easy to work with, set up on time, played requests, very organized, easy to talk to and enjoyable. Will definitely hire him again! Stayed cool under pressure of lots of requests. Good guy! -- Denise G, Mountain View, CA, 11/5/2011
• DJ Budddy Holly made my wedding a perfect success. He was very nice and professional. I will be recommending him to friends and family. -- Amber J, Suisun City, CA, 8/20/2011
• Great - he played exactly what the crowd wanted, checked with us about any dubious requests - just as we asked - would recommend him to anyone - he has a huge selection of all kinds of music. Thanks! -- Tina D, Larkspur, CA, 8/27/2011
• Great DJ, very patient with us while we fixed a last minute problem to get a song. -- Robyn W, Benicia, CA, 8/13/2011
• Buddy is extremely tuned in to his profession. He is a gentleman in every way, and was very alert to everything going on at every moment. I would recommend him every day and twice on Sunday!!! -- Michael D, Ione, CA, 7/30/2011
• My new husband and I couldn't be happier with DJ Buddy Holly for our wedding. His service and professionalism was excellent, he was willing to make all necessary arrangements for his equipment without any hassle. DJ Buddy Holly was given a list of songs I wanted for the dance party and he was able to group the songs in an effortless, cohesive manner. I received numerous compliments throughout the evening on the music and the dance floor was NEVER empty! I think he even might have booked a few gigs by the end of the night by other engaged couples at my wedding. I am extremely pleased with my choice of DJ's and would highly recommend him for an event! -- Scott F, Windsor, CA, 7/23/2011
• This sweet sixteen party was a success largely due to David's presence. He is extremely professional, enthusiastic and provides a great program. Not only did he play the right music to embrace dancing for teens, he also provided the perfect complimentary lights. Numerous guests commented on what a "GREAT DJ" was there and he never took a break!! He kept the dancing going which is a key to a successful high school party. There is no doubt he will gain bookings from this party of 175 sophmores wanting to have a fun dancing night. We highly recommend David if you are looking for a professional, engaging, and fun time for your party. It was positive form the booking on. -- Pamela R, Belmont, CA, 4/2/2011
• DJ Buddy Holly was amazing! He met me before the event (our wedding), to present himself, as well as take any last minute request. Not only was he able to find all of the songs we wanted, he nailed our last minute request on the dot. I must admit, our wedding was NOT well planned out, but Buddy went with it, and made all the events run SMOOTHER then I could have even imagined. He kept the partying going all night with his perfect blends of our song request. Thank you for the memorable event!! -- Michael O, Novato, CA, 2/26/2011
• DJ Buddy Holly had all the requests desired imediately! -- Loring D, Belmont, CA, 1/10/2011
• He did a great job accommodating the needs of the event. He was extremely easy to work with. -- Jrinda S, South Lake Tahoe, CA, 9/6/2010
• One of my biggest worries was music for our wedding. Not only was our play list accommodated, but when he ventured away from it (after asking!), the music was still awesome! The guests are still talking about how great the music was! The maid of honor's sister was quoted sauing, "This is a good song! ... This song is great, too! ... This is a good song, TOO! ......Wow the music is REALLY good!!!" She's a hard one to please, too. =) Thank you SOOOO much!!! We'll definitely be recommending you to our friends!!! -- Laura B, Redwood City, CA, 10/1/2010
• DJ Buddy Holly did a great job playing the types of music we requested during our event. He was very good at sticking to our request to not play explicit music as my Great Grandma was at our wedding and once she left was great accepting any requests that our guests made. Very professional, sounded great and we even asked for another hour because the party got going and we didn't want to stop. Thanks for making our wedding a great one! -- Stephanie D, Napa, CA, 9/18/2010
• dj Buddy Holly was great! He was there on time (earlier) and was extremely accommodating to the ambiguous requests we threw his way. He had to deal with quite the audience and everyone was extremely happy at the end of the night. The dance floor was packed and the music was constant. I would highly recommend dj Buddy Holly for any work event, party, etc and definitely plan on contacting him in the future. -- Whitney B, San Francisco, CA, 8/11/2010
• dj Buddy Holly could not be more accomodating or professional. I would hire him again for any event. He managed my 13-year-old daughter's birthday party beautifully: just enough games for them, but not too cheesy. He was very responsive to requests and got every song that we asked him to play. His set-up was terrific; he was at the event early to make sure everything worked and worked with us. I will certainly call him for my son's birthday party! -- Melissa B, San Francisco, CA, 6/9/2010
• He arrived early, set up without disturbing anyone, adjusted his timing to the specifics of the event, was very courteous and professional, accomodated our needs for an improptu live performance, proactively interacted with both us and the owners of the venue. His equipment was very high quality and well maintained. I would hire him for any future event and would unconditionally recommend him to anyone. -- Richard C, Sonoma, CA, 3/13/2010

We did the Chicken dance, YMCA, WE are family,Country,Oldies and 2009 music... Everyone got to dance to the music they liked... I highly recommend DJ Buddy Holly -- Penny G, Livermore, CA, 12/19/2009
• DJ Buddy arrived the time he said, set up with no problems and the kids really liked him. Believe me, this group always complains about DJ's and their music. This was an 8th grade dance and the music was filtered so no foul language etc. -- Laurie S, San Rafael, CA, 6/4/2010
• This was my first time booking a DJ with Gigmaster. I was impressed with Gigmaster's website and DJ Buddy Holly! He was very communicative, reliable, and professional. He showed up on time, dressed perfectly for the event, was very flexible to the parties needs with music and the time we needed him to DJ. I was more than pleased with how he mixed and chose songs for the crowd to keep moving on the dance floor. I don't think there was a time the floor was empty! I've already recommended him to friends and will call him if another event comes up were a DJ is needed. Consider him for your next event! -- Diana B, Napa, CA, 2/13/2010
• DJ BUDDY HOLLY WAS FANTASTIC AND EASY TO WORK WITH. HE DID THE SOUND AND MUSIC FOR OUR BAT MITZVAH EVENT ON MAY 29, 2010. FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN WE HIRED HIM HE LISTENED TO WHAT WE NEEDED AND PROVIDED EVERYTHING THAT WAS NECESSARY FOR OUR EVENT. EVERYONE AT THE CEREMONY AND PARTY WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW WELL THE SOUND AND MUSIC WAS SET UP. WE TRULY APPRECIATE DJ BUDDY HOLLY AND WILL HIRE HIM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. -- Shama C, Shingle Springs, CA, 5/29/2010
• DJ Buddy Holly was very professional and showed up to our event early. He was dressed according to our theme and had no problem setting up his equipment. We had a wide variety of ages at our party and he was able to get everyone on the dance floor to ring in the New Year! Thanks so much!! -- Anna M, San Jose, CA, 12/31/2009
• Dj Buddy Holly was very professional, friendly, and nice. We had an awesome wedding thanks sooo much! -- Joslyn K, Santa Cruz, CA, 5/15/2010
• I had a great experience with dj Buddy Holly. He was professional, on time and very accomodating. Actually, he was so good that next year I plan on hiring him to dj at my 50th birthday party! You won't go wrong hiring him! -- Janine M, Santa Clara, CA, 12/5/2009
• dj Buddy Holly was extremely professional and helpful. He explained everything fully in advance and showed up on time (an hour early)and set up with no problems whatsoever. We sent him list after list of songs we wanted and he accomodated us by acquiring almost every single song (about 100 tunes and all very new). He was dressed nicely and his manner was great. The kids loved it and asked me to through another party soon. I would definitely recommend dj Buddy Holly to anyone looking for a dj. Thanks, Jean -- Jean M, San Jose, CA, 10/30/2009
• DJ Buddy Holly showed up on time and set up his equipment in a speedy manner. He played the type of music that I requested and was motivating on the mike. He is definitely a true professional. All the students that I spoke with gave him rave reviews. I have already recommended him to a friend who is having a party. She assured me that she was going to hire him. -- Lauren K, Shingle Springs, CA, 11/8/2009
• DJ Buddy Holly was the DJ at my wine and cheese party and he was absolutely brilliant. He is extremely talented, very professional, and made my party a memorable one. I will definitely recommend his services to all of my family and friends. Thanks again Buddy! -- Mike O, Foster City, CA, 10/23/2009
• Great job. Everyone was very happy. -- Ron B, Napa, CA, 12/11/2010
• We had a great party and, of course, the music is of highest importance. The only reason I droped the rating half a point under "talent" is that for my personal preference, I would have liked a little more DJ to dancer interactions & some music into or music defined interactions. Overall, it was a great success and I would hire DJ Buddy Holly again. -- Joyce T, Sunol, CA, 12/11/2009
• DJ Buddy Holly did a great job at our daughter's sweet sixteen party. We really enjoyed the music, the lights, great quality. He was punctual, he set up everything as planned and promised. We had requested for some Bollywood songs which he could not get but played all the other songs requested in advance before the event. Would surely recommend him for his quality, his professionalism and punctuality. -- Sapna G, San Jose, CA, 6/25/2011
• DJ Buddy Holly was very accommodating and extremely pleasant to work with. He was a great addition to our event. I would definitely recommend him. -- Barbara F, Atherton, CA, 5/13/2011
• WOW! Dj Buddy Holly made this party happen. Nikita loved his music and was great in providing just what she had requested. Every kid at the party loved him! Not only was he professional but his interaction with me and the kids was friendly. He came early and was ready to go right at 6:00. Dj Buddy Holly worked non-stop. Several of the CV Cheer Team were at the party and we all agree we want him to play at our Home Coming dance this next year. It is one of our biggest fundraisers for the team. I would be happy to personally recommend him for any gig. So many of the kids and parents said what a nice guy he was! And the music rocked! :) -- Cheryl B, Corvallis, OR, 6/17/2011
• DJ Buddy Holly performed at our wedding in Napa, CA and did a fantastic job ensuring our 180 guests (from ages 8 to 89) had a great time. Throughout the planning process he was very responsive to our emails and phone calls and was happy to accommodate any of our requests (including lots of last minute changes). He showed up early and left plenty of time to setup (he was given the wrong location by the event staff but was still able to move all his equipment to the correct location on time). He played a wide range of music that got everyone dancing and was able to stay later than we originally requested. We would definitely use him again for future events. -- Ed D, Napa, CA, 6/4/2011
