Introduction: Hi. I'm DJ Glenn and I've been doing weddings, private parties and corporate events for more than 20 years. I love every part of being a DJ, from helping people plan their events, to packing the dance floor, to the look of satisfaction my clients have at the end of the evening. I will show up on time, professionally dressed, and your requests are my priority. If you want, I can provide song suggestion lists to help you choose exactly the music you want, or you can rely on my judgment to fill the dance floor. I always include lights at no additional charge. Here's what some of my Thumbtack clients say about me: "He had a personal touch and really cared about the party I was throwing." "I will only hire Glenn for my future parties. He is awesome." "I'd highly recommend him to all my friends and will hire him again for my next party!! Thanks so much for a great party Glenn! My friends are sure to hire you for their parties too!"

DJ Glenn arrived to the party early to set up everything & took requests & played music the birthday girl wanted & liked all day. We had to reschedule once due to the birthday girl getting sick & DJ Glenn was very flexible with his schedule. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ to play for their party.

We hired him for our 50 year high school reunion. We had a higher attendance than expected so we had just enough money to be able to hire him, and with only a week or so before our event. He accommodated our needs and was respectful of the volume, as some of our classmates were concerned about the music being too loud. He played exactly the genre of music that we wanted. He was very easy to work with and very professional. I recommend him and would not hesitate to hire him in the future.

Details: Class reunion • 100 - 149 guests • 51 or older • Rock • Banquet hall or ballroom

Glenn is super responsible, dedicated and professional. He attended our rehearsal and gave us very important advice based on our own situation. He arrived very early, worked very hard and he has a very good taste of music. He proactively spoke to photographer, videographer and officiant to make sure everyone is on the same page. He even provided dancing lights for us. It’s very lucky for me to have Glenn on our wedding. Thank you, Glenn, for creating a wonderful night in our lives.

Details: Wedding • 25 guests or fewer • 18 - 30 years old • Casual • MC will need to provide lighting

DJ Glenn was amazing to work with. I WOULD HIRE HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN! He was super responsive and got back to me right away on Thumbtack! His price was super reasonable and he sent me a music list right away after we talked by phone to go over for my birthday party and career transition event. He had a personal touch and really cared about the party I was throwing and wanted to be sure that I had a great time and that my guests were really enjoying the music. He also asked me for 10% deposit up front and we did that online (fast and efficient) and then asked for one final conference call a day before the party to discuss the party details and a "dance off contest" I wanted to hold. He was fast, efficient, hyper responsive, personal and passionate about his business and what he does. I shopped around and got quotes from alot of DJs and Glenn's price was very practical and he was willing to stay late as the party kept lingering on and he stayed with us! Great service for the value and was very appreciative of his skills. He even did some light MC(ing) and also checked in with me several times to make sure I was on schedule for the toast/affirmation/roast section of the party! Honest and hard worker! HIRE HIM BIG TIME!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I like to work with clients to help them both meet their budget and to decide what they need. Is a second or third system required? Will you need a larger or smaller system? How long will you need me to play?
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to meet with my clients in advance multiple times and offer resources, such as song suggestion lists, and help plan the event so my clients can relax and have fun.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I regularly attend DJ seminars, I have worked as a radio DJ, and I have trained other DJs.
