Introduction: Hi there! I've been a working DJ for over 18 years, and have literally played thousands of events ranging from corporate to wedding receptions to nightclubs all over the west coast and abroad. Companies such as Google, PayPal, LucasArts, Bausch & Lomb, Jack Daniels and many others have trusted my services in DJing their events. Having played such a wide-ranging variety of events, I've been able to adapt my sound and style of music to fit any taste and get parties started every time. I work with each client to individually cater to their event and provide a truly customized and unique experience. I've developed an innate ability to bring a party-starting element that others don't to any event, and look forward to working with you! I only use the most top-of-the-line pro-audio and mixing equipment, so you can rest assured your event will sound phenomenal. It's extremely gratifying getting to help people build parties on their special days or for their company events. I enjoy working with clients who have different tastes, and who enjoy a good time as much as I do!

Gabe was the DJ for our wedding and he was amazing! Before the wedding, he was quickly responsive to all correspondence and was flexible regarding specific things we wanted done during the wedding. We were able to provide a list of songs we definitely wanted played during the ceremony, examples of songs we wanted played during dinner, and examples of songs we wanted played for dancing. Gabe was able to play all of these songs and similar style songs throughout the night. We also had our best man sing/play our first dance, and Gabe was able to accommodate this and get everything setup. On the day of the wedding, Gabe arrived early, had all of his equipment setup well in advance, and helped perform sound checks for our officiant and best man. Gabe was able to give announcements to our guests, inform them of when cocktail hour/dinner/dancing would begin, and did a great job of emceeing the entire night. All of our guests commented at how smooth our wedding was, and Gabe was a big reason for this. For first dances, Gabe was able to get all of the songs we requested and start/stop each song at the desired time, without running through it with him beforehand. As far as dancing goes, our guests were on the dance floor for the entire night because of Gabe's music selection and ability to play requested songs on the fly. All in all, Gabe was the perfect DJ for our wedding and we would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Gabe! Scott and Dana

Gabe was fantastic. He clearly communicated how our wedding night would flow and made us comfortable and at ease. We also had a unique outdoor situation and he was able to provide the speaker that worked out perfectly. He did a great job with the music and everybody had a fantastic time with his selections. I highly recommend Gabe to anyone in need of his services! -Ryan

Gabe DJ'd our wedding at it was absolutely fantastic! The set list was great and the dance floor was rocking! He did a great job and really kept the liveliness and energy up throughout the whole reception. Our guests still talk about it months later. Great job Gabe!

Avalanche Entertainment and Gabe were an absolute pleasure to work with. He was super punctual, professional, and helped us host a fantastic event. His sound equipment was phenomenal, and music taste was as good as anyone I've ever heard. I'd highly recommend Gabe for any/all corporate bookings or receptions!

Gabe was an awesome DJ, and a great person to work with. He was willing to meet with us in person and was very responsive to our emails of questions. On the day of he was very punctual. He played our playlists for dinner and cocktail, and then took over for the dance party. Gabe has a great taste in music and as well as a nack for feeling out the flow from song to song. We asked him to play a wide variety of music from mo-town oldies, to hip hop and even deep house. He kept the dance floor going all night long! Overall, my wife and I felt that he was a stand up guy and really easy to work with. He is a steal at the price he charges! I would definitely hire him again for any event.
