DJ Guice is Great!

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.

Volume control was excellent, song selection spectacular, and everyone complimented us on how fantastic the music was! He took iniative and killed it in every regard!
