About
Djing is like a relationship and it is all about communication. It is essential to know your client and to make sure as a DJ you understand exactly what they want. I am meticulous and detail oriented. Creating a custom playlist for each event and making sure you know your client and what they desire to hear is paramount in making a smooth enjoyable event. Therefore, I make sure all details of the event structure are triple checked and always leave my clients happy.
Interaction with new people and the events. Whether is a wedding, a prom. a anniversary or a party, it is usually a happy time. Life is all about celebrations of various milestones in life. I get to be there at all these events, surrounded by people who are enjoying themselves. I get to add music to these celebrations and seeing the joy it brings to people is beyond rewarding.

Peter is the KING!!! He such a genuine caring man, and I knew we would get along just in the first few minutes of our initial meeting. He really cares about what you want, and really gets to know your personality before your special day. He kept the energy going the entire evening and made sure that nothing was missed. He has an assortment of lights, and a endless supply of songs. He had us send him a list of songs that we would want, and made sure that they were on the playlist. He even pieced together a special song together made up of 4 songs for the garter toss. Our wedding is over, but Peter is still one of our friends. Thank you for making our special day so magical!

It was an honor and a pleasure to be a part of your wedding. Truly an amazing couple and family. I loved being able to add to the amazing vision you had, and that is a wedding I will never forget. I am gracious that you allowed me to capture some footage of such an epic event. All the best to you two lovebirds in the future!

Peter responded quickly to an event that was happening in a few days and happened to have a cancellation. He was personable, and professional; and went out of his way to understand the nature of the party as well as the styles of music; went out of his way to ask for individual song list up to last minute. His DJ and lights were the glue this party needed at an affordable price...THANKS Peter!!

Jimmy!
Did such an amazing job that I'm reviewing from my honey moon. Top of the line! Kept the crowd wanting! At the end of the night, the crowd either keeps dancing or takes off, ours didn't wanna leave !
Perfect performance and was a key player in a perfect wedding !
GE Productions's reply
Sal, it was a pleasure! What an awesome time, crowd and energy. I mean your guest at the end kept chanting "one more song" ten songs later.... ah ha ha ha ha. I was glad to be a part of it and make it everything you wanted it to be. Big shout out to your Best Man aka Hype Man Jose .... "Sal & Mel ... Sal & Mel .... Sal & Mel" all the best in your future together!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet in person! I think face to face interaction still works best. At our initial consultation I have a ton of questions I like to ask my clients so we can make sure we are on the same page. If it is a wedding client there are many details to cover. I always want my clients to ask me any questions they have so they get a good feel for who they are working with. If everything goes well at the meeting and it looks like we are a good fit I will send a recap email of the meeting along with a contract to move forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a current member of the American DJ Association and we have monthly meetings to discuss different techniques and go over experiences so we can continue to improve and learn from our colleagues. I have had formal training for mixing, beat matching and production. I am always updating to the latest technology available in order to provide my clients with the best possible performance.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My roommate in college (1995) was a DJ. That's where I began to learn and develop a love for my craft.
