Gann's Entertainment

We really enjoyed working with Dennis and Gann's DJ. What a big help they were in helping us plan the evening and picking out the right songs to play. The D.J. at our reception kept the evening flowing with some great background music during dinner and then dance music to keep the dance floor hopping. He was very professional and very flexable on last minute requests.

Expected so much more from this dj for the price. Rather rude, did not keep a flow to the reception. Completely mean at the smallest changes. Definitely would not ever recommend.

Nine months we booked this company for our wedding and paid in full. We had only spoken to Dennis, the owner over the phone. At first he seemed decent. One of the things he told us was that he would call us and and set up and appointment for 3 weeks prior to our wedding. The closer it got to our wedding this man was absolutely impossible to get a hold of. I called him several times for 3 weeks, left detailed voice mails every time. He did not return any of those phone calls. I started to became extremely concerned when it was one week before the wedding, we had to start looking at what our options were if he didn't show.I started reading horrible reviews about him and hearing stories from people I know. One lady stating that a friend of hers hired him and he had way to much to drink on the job. Finally I sent him and email saying that I would appreciate it if he would call me because I needed to know if he was going to stand me up. It wasn't until then he finally called me and laughed and said funny thing he was just busy. I decided I was just going to continue to be nice considering it was to late to make any changes. So I asked we we could meet and he refused to meet me saying there was "no need". I then had my husband call him and demand that we meet him. He lied to him on the phone saying we had set up a day but no time. So we looked over him being dishonest and met the man. He was so completely rude the second we sat down we were blown away. He mocked everything we said and was completely sarcastic about everything. A couple of the songs he asked my husband if they were "hard to find" and told my husband to find it and put it on a c.d. and bring it on the wedding day himself. Isn't that his job? He was so arrogant. Then he told me that, "Maybe I will have a tan by Saturday." Which was completely irrelevant especially considering it was April and I did have a tan. We left feeling frustrated and insulted. On the wedding day he was so rude to my mother. My guest complained he was rude to them when they requested songs. He was in fact helping himself to plenty of beer on the job which I didn't really think was appropriate. Then to top it off he was out in the parking lot(while working) screaming and cursing on the phone in front of our family members. He screwed up the song for when I was supposed to walk down the aisle, playing the completely wrong song when we where announced in the reception, and said my mother's name completely wrong. And was even rude to us over the microphone twice. He is completely rude and disrespectful and unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone use him.

Gann Entertainment failed to meet contractual service of our wedding on July 10, 2010. Prior to our wedding we had met a DJ named Jason who was to do our wedding. Both Sara and I took an hour out of our schedules to sit down with Jason and to go over step by step how we wanted our wedding reception to go. Among topics discussed, correct pronunciations of the wedding party’s names, music to be played as they were announced, “first dance” songs, DJ’s attire, DJ’s attitude and demeanor in hosting, song genres to play and to stay away from, and lastly song mixing slow and fast songs. We felt it was a productive meeting, and felt confident that Jason could provide all services. Unfortunately, the day of our wedding, Jason was not at our reception, in his place were two kids who, though nice, knew virtually nothing of our discussed plans. As a matter of fact, they failed on EVERY single aspect of discussion. They mispronounced almost every bridal party member, played without the musical background we had discussed. And in an ultimate downfall announced our bridal party as May I introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Roy Repischak…unfortunately for me and our 180 guests, my last name is Napier…hugely important to get right. As for first dance music they had to scramble to get the list from us as we are coming in to the reception, where they had no flow or charisma in going from one announced song to the next. As for the replacements dress attire, instead of agreed on formal wear, they were both wearing khakis and one was wearing a blazer. The kid DJ’s were all night clueless as to what songs we wanted to play, and at all times one of my groomsmen would have to be up at the front basically doing their jobs for them. Which seriously detracted from their level of enjoyment. They had to be up there telling them to play slower songs, dance songs, to announce the first dance, the father daughter and mother son dances etc. Basically our groomsmen did everything but push the play button on the CD player for them.
I do not blame the replacement DJ’s, because as I said, they were nice and doing their best. They were just completely NOT PREPARED in the slightest to do our wedding, which falls on Gann Entertainment itself for not preparing them, and falling short.
In the contract that we signed, it says in so many words that we were to get the DJ we met with before hand, unless sickness, act of god, ect…When I called Jason from our reception, (directly after I was announced as Roy Repischak), I knew things were going downhill fast, so I wanted to know where he was, and to see when he could get here. He explained to me that he was not in the hospital, or caught in a flood plain, but simply reassigned to another event for that night because they “needed an experienced DJ”. I told him that I felt betrayed by him and the company, and ended the call their.
Gann Entertainment fell short in every aspect of servicing our wedding reception and meeting up to their contractual obligations.
It may seem like this sort of thing was just a one time mishap on the part of Dennis Gann’s company. Unfortunately, we have a couple of friends that were married a couple of years ago and they also were tricked by Dennis Gann into thinking they were hiring a reputable and professional DJ. They too were sent a replacement DJ by the company, and, like ours, their DJ was completely unprofessional and not the caliber of DJ they thought they were hiring. I think it goes without saying that had we known this ahead of time we would have stayed far away from Dennis Gann and his company.

I had last minute (11p the night before the wedding) song changes and he was able to accomidate them and he was so much fun and professional at the same time...everyone told me about how great our DJ was...he was alot of fun and kept our company on their toes with dancing and the electric slide, etc...Jason was AWESOME!!

We met with the owner, and loved his attitude, however, he was not the one who was the DJ at our reception. We had made a long list a music that we would like to hear played (or something comparable). The DJ that was there for the 1st half of the wedding was great.... innovative and fun. The DJ that was there for the second half was TERRIBLE!!!! He started playing 80's music I had never even heard of!!! It started to completely kill the life of the wedding! I went up and told him to please play music comparable to what was on the list, but he ignored my request. It wasn't until my maid of honor told him he better start playing something people could dance to "or else...." that he finally started playing songs that people could actually dance to.

Needless to say, my husband and I were both quite angry.
