DJ Guice did an excellent job working both of our corporate happy hour events during our conference. He was professional, easy to work with, and did a great job reading the room throughout the evening. His music selection was spot on and created the perfect atmosphere for networking and conversation. It’s not easy to find a DJ who understands how to be present without overpowering the event, but he balanced that perfectly. We would absolutely work with him again for future events.
