Golden Note Entertainment

Gerry was great to work with... he had us dancing all night long. Even my 91 year old grandfather got on the dance floor. The next day everyone kept telling us how great our DJ was. He made the wedding a success music wise. His staff was great to deal with as well. Jillian from day 1 was helpful and always there when I had a question. I would use them again in a heartbeat for any other occasion that I would have.

My husband and I got married October 1, 2011. I am conflicted on how many stars to give this vendor because of some of the interactions that happened after the wedding.As far as office staff goes Jillian is amazing! She helped so much and was very available for all questions.The wedding itself was great. We met with the emcee we hired, John, to discuss what we were looking for in a DJ. He really understood what we wanted and helped streamline the official stuff we needed to do (one on one dances, cake) so that we didn't take up too much time and were able to dance and have fun as much as possible. He was great the day of we asked him to have a presence but not be one of those DJ's that keeps bothering people. The dance floor was full before dinner, after dinner, and until the very last song. They were excellent.We also booked a photo booth from this vendor. We were very excited for this as we are photo booth junkies we see one and we want to get in it. The attendant was great! She put together a beautiful book of the photostrips and made friends with my niece who pretty much lived in the photo booth for the night. However, the photo booth crashed and was out of order for about an hour and a half. The very sweet attendant was so upset and she kept trying different things and even having the DJ and emcee try to help get it back up. We had gotten the photo booth for a 4 hour time slot. So we lost about 1/2 of our time which was disappointing but stuff happens. At the end of the day the booth got back up and running and the attendant stayed about 20 minutes late to take a few more pictures. Mother of the groom spoke with the emcee during the event about getting $ back for the hour that the photo booth was down. He said of course and we thought they are so great it won't be a problem.The problem came after the wedding when reaching out to the owner of golden note about getting money back for the photo booth. The list of reasons we did not get money back we as follows:- the attendant stayed late- you went over your limit anyways- it wasn't down that longWhen I booked the photo booth I specifically asked if there was a limit on the amount of paper/ink/photos for an event and was told directly "No." I double checked my contract and sure enough the photo booth is booked by time not by a "limit." The photo booth was down AT LEAST an hour and a half. Like I said we love photo booths and so did our guests but not everyone was able to take a photo because of the time it was down. I had to cut the line at the end of the event so that the groom and i could go in for our second picture of the night. So trust me when I say I was monitoring the situation very closely and checking in with the attendant on how it was going. The attendant did stay a few minutes late but it did not make up for the solid hour of no photo booth. The grooms parents were generous enough to have paid for this vendor. After the wedding they contacted Golden Note and the response was not what we were expecting. I was surprised by the lack of professionalism and customer service. We were not given any money back. The grooms parents decided to let it go because the event was so wonderful but it was still unacceptable and disappointing.In conclusion, I would recommend this vendor because of Jillian, John, the DJ, and staff. They know what they are doing and the event was lovely. I would recommend with reservations because of our issue with the photo booth. I would not recommend booking any extras such as a photo booth with this vendor sometimes it is not beneficial to book everything with one vendor.

Golden Note was fantastic. I saw them at a Bridal Show and knew I wanted to book them. They have such great energy and they really work with you so you have exactly what you want. Their photobooth was the best thing ever, it was the hit at my wedding. Just make sure to purchase your own props for it!

Sebastian has a great sense of what it takes to make the party memorable

John Antonio was our emcee and he was great. He listened to everything we wanted/didn't want for our wedding. He showed up on time, kept everybody dancing and our guests had a great time. The entire staff at Golden Note was always very professional when working with us. I would definitely recommend them!

Very helpful and amazing! First saw them at a bridal show and new they were the perfect fit! There staff is amazing and so helpful!! Keith and Jill were amazing couldnt ask for anything more! and there prices are amazing! My guests were still up dancing the whole time! Everyone! They are still talking about the amazing music!!

Golden Note DJ's were unbelievably fantastic. I knew when I first saw them at a bridal show that this was the DJ for me. They had everyone up and dancing the entire night. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. Sebastian, our DJ was incredible!!! He really took the time to get to know us and exactly what we wanted to take place at our wedding and then accomplished it. It was wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend Golden Note Entertainment for all of your DJ needs. They even handled the ceremony music.

We saw them perform at a bridal show and instantly knew from their energy and personality that they were for us. Immediately upon talking to Gerry the owner, we knew we wanted him to do our wedding and he was completely on board. Our first meeting with him went 100% smoothly, we were given "homework" so we could properly focus on our music choices. When we met for the final meeting with our request list in hand he loved our ideas and got what we wanted the tone of our wedding to be. Come the day of he did not disappoint, his energy and enthusiasm was infectious. The music selection which included our requests was amazing, in fact the dance floor was hardly ever empty even during food time. He also kept us informed of things going on, as far as toast and cake cutting so we knew where we needed to be. If you want your guests to get out dance and have the best party ever you must hire them!!

Dear Sebastian and team,Apologies for the delay, but we would like to sincerely THANK YOU for all that you did in preparation for our wedding and most especially, all that you did the day of our wedding!You really made the night! As we continue to meet up with family and friends they keep mentioning how great it was to see that the dance floor was never empty! Thank you for really taking into consideration the songs we had requested and doing an excellent job at picking out our music style. Where to begin . . . thank you for compiling the songs we requested for our cocktail hour. Our guests were keeping their ears tuned! Sebastian, you really did an awesome job transitioning between songs and keeping a nice balance between slow songs and super active/ high energy songs. Many of our guests (both Polish and American) have also praised you for how you were able to seamlessly slide into Polish and then English and back all throughout the night. Some of the American guests felt like they were really beginning to understand Polish and they responded to the music (maybe it was also due to a little help from the alcohol). All of your effort and coordination really showed and added such magic to our special day! From the bridal party introductions to the games to the last dance, everyone was on their toes ready for the next step! We really thank you and we will most certainly recommend you to others :)All the best and with sincere thanks for all that you did.Agnes and Brendan Lazar

We used John from Golden Note for our August 6, 2011 wedding. We are very happy with his service. The music was great and the lights were great! - Rich and Nicole

They were awesome. They played all the music I asked them to play and the music that was added was just what my guests wanted. They made the night, my guests are still talking about how the blacklight with white gloves was so neat and different. I can't say enough on how great they are.

We used Golden Note for our ceremony and reception music for our July 30th wedding. Jim was our MC and he was fantastic. He was so friendly and thorough when we spoke over the phone to go over all the music details. We were doing a Chinese tea ceremony and I had no idea what music to suggest, and the instrumental piece Jim picked was perfect! They were very attentive with meeting our music requests and everyone had a blast during the reception. Jim and the dj read the crowd well and kept the dance floor packed all night. Even my mom was dancing, and she never ever dances in public! They nailed everything and it just shows they pay attention to their customer’s needs and want their events to be as personalized as possible. Thank you Golden Note for providing amazing entertainment, we wanted a fun dance party and you delivered that and then some!

Without a doubt best there is!!!! Gerry was out of this world!!! My wife has anxiety and before we were introduced she was starting to get an anxiety attack. Gerry came up and talked to her and comforted her. He told her they are not going to start untill my wife was ready and continued to calm her nerves. Absolutley honored to have them be part of our day.

DJ Jim made our wedding so much fun!! He was excited about everything my husband and I wanted to hear and do at our reception. People cannot stop talking about the party - the white gloves, the dance music, the lights. Golden Note made my wedding amazing and I plan on recommending them to all my friends! Thanks for a perfect night!

Golden Note Entertainment made our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. They got EVERYONE on the dance floor, impressed us with their knowledge of the latest technologies, and truly brought their A-game. Gerry and Jillian made us feel like family every time we spoke with them, and we recommend Golden Note Entertainment to every couple who wants their wedding to rock!

Wedding date: June 11, 2011 --- John A. was our DJ, we selected him because he spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese and we were not disappointed. During the entire reception guests were coming up to us asking what DJ we used because they loved him. He did an awesome job with our wedding. He really listened to our requests and read the crowd really well. I would and will refer him and Golden Entertainment to anyone who asks. :) Loved him and appreciate the professionalism and respect of Golden Entertainment. Thank you for making our Wedding Day Extra special and lots of fun.Catarina & James Montalvo

Excellent service, attention to detail, and helped create an all-around perfect day for us! Responsive to our very picky needs, which was much appreciated. Hooray for Golden Note!

My huband and I are very happy that we chose to use Golden Note for our wedding. There was not a moment during the reception when people were not occupying the dance floor. They really knew how to get people motivated and to have fun with the crowd. My only constructive criticism is that they played the incorrect song for my parent's introduction, and they butchered their names. All in all, they did a great job and I would reccommend them to anyone.

First I have to say my guests had a great time and the dance floor was packed the ENTIRE NIGHT. We received numerous comments on how the music was just right! HOWEVER I do have to say not all went completely smooth. We met with our DJ and went over all of the SPECIFIC songs that we wanted. I told him that I would bring him a CD of the exact songs that we wanted to use. I delivered this CD the very next day. I personally delivered it to them. However this CD never made it to the DJ, as I was told. The led to TWO BIG PROBLEMS. First right after our ceremony the DJ asked us a question about our first dance which was customized to include My Best Friend and then break into an Evolution of Dance. This song was on the CD I delivered, which he didnt have. WHICH MEANS HE DIDNT HAVE OUR FIRST DANCE SONG and nothing could be subsituted since we have a routine to that exact mix. THANK GOD my wife had her IPOD and the DJ played out first song off of her IPOD. SECOND ISSUE the came from the CD never getting to DJ was that the wrong entrance song was played for my sons. My sons (who are huge WWE wrestling fans) wanted to come out to Hulk Hogan's popular Real American Theme Song. I bought them special Hulk Hogan Masks and bandanas to wear. They also practiced their entrance and were very very excited. Well the wrong song was played and my boys were crushed and none of the guests really got the point of what my boys were doing. My boys said to me immediately "when are we going to do our special entrance" and "why did he play the wrong song". THIRDLY we upgraded and got the BLACKLIGHT 100 package. We were told they would black out the room (which they said was no problem at our venue since they work with them often) and turn on black lights. Our guests would be given white gloves and we would do a special dance with the lights and gloves. WELL the room was not darkened, the black light were turned on (but you couldnt tell) and gloves were handed out. However no special dance was done as we had discussed during our final meeting. We had picked the song Proud Mary. This special touch was something that we were looking forward to and were disappointed it didnt happen.I have also contacted them in regards to my issues and have not heard back in over a week. Despite these issues our wedding is still magical and I know our guests had a great time. It just wasnt exactly how it was planned.** STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE OWNER TWO WEEKS AFTER I CONTACTED THEM! I was told my email would be sent to him and he would get back to me....still nothing

The staff at Golden Note are the most AMAZING people ever. From the first time we ever met them, they treated us like a part of the "family". Every step of the way, Jillian and Gerry were there to answer questions, whether it was a phone call or email. They provided the most amazing experience for our wedding. Everyone was off their feet dancing the entire night, and people are still talking about them today!! I wish I could do it all over again to have them there!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOLDEN NOTE TO EVERYONE!!!

Golden Note was singlehandedly the BEST part of my wedding day! From the moment we saw them at a Bridal Showcase in Totowa, NJ, we knew that they were the DJs for us! My husband and I immediately decided on Jim as our MC for the night and his personality radiated on our wedding day. He was a pleasure to work with and took all of our ideas and suggestions and made our wedding day so special! Jillian, who works the front desk and answers all of the phones and emails is an absolutely doll and I must give kudos to her! She was so spectaular throughout the 18 months that we were in contact with them before our wedding and she always went above and beyond to answer my questions and concerns. I would recommend Golden Note to anyonoe that is looking to have a fantastic celebration with great people, energy, and music!

Golden Note does the best job out of any DJ company I've seen. The staff is the most pleasant people I know. They did everything as requested, acted very professional, and was able to accommodate our last minute request. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them in the future if I ever need a DJ.

I cannot say enough great things about Golden Note Entertainment. They were highly professional, provided excellent service, and they were very affordable. The company and staff are exceptional!

Golden Note was great! They had everyone on the dance floor from my first song! It was definately a party ! They are very professional and are able to help you pick songs that fit very well. I definately recommend them.

They are the best of the best. My family and friends had such a wonderful time. We got nothing but compliment after compliment. Gerry is such a great guy, easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

AMAZING!!! Everyone had a blast at the wedding thanks to John Anthony and Keith really know how to get the party started and get the people on the dance floor!!! Thanks!!!!

Jim was our DJ and we are so happy to choose him. He had our ENTIRE room up and dancing! Jim, you were AWESOME! We are still getting compliments about him!! All our family and friends would not stop talking about how great he was.Thanks for such a memorable night!Love,Katie & Andy Fritz

Keith was extremely professional and very attentive to what me and my wife wanted for our reception. He had the right type of music and made sure that our requests got played throughout the night and that they weren't all clumped together. The level of participation that Keith was able to gain from the rest of the crowd was amazing!! I did not think half the people who got up and danced ever would, but between the music and his enthusiasm it was more than my wife or I could have ever hoped for! Very strongly recommend Keith and Golden Note!-Mike Matelski

I want to say on behalf of my husband and I, that Golden Note Entertainment was nothing short of AMAZING! They made our special day so memorable and our guests have not stopped talking about how awesome they were! They were extremely professional, really catered to our wants and needs, and were unlike any other DJ company I have ever heard or seen in action. Golden Note Entertainment is innovative and can make what you've always dreamed of for your reception a reality. I am so happy we chose them and will recommend them to anyone else looking for DJ!Thanks Golden Note for making our wedding so much fun!From,The Hammerman's

Great work!!! Everyone was having a good time and very excited!!

Our wedding day was perfect! Everyone was on the dance floor. The music was fantastic. I highly recommend Golden Note Entertainment to every couple who wants to have an amazing wedding. Great Job!

Golden Note did an amazing job at my wedding. They worked with me on the music and had everyone on the dance floor. I loved all of the staff, they were friendly and very helpful with everything. They even managed to find a song by Elvis that was never formally recorded to use for our first dance. I can't wait to get the chance to use them again!

My fiance and I saw the group at a bridal show and the Bethwood and were amazed at the many packages they offered. We selected the basic package but would never have guessed it during out wedding! And Jim did everything right and then a little more! Everyone kept commenting about how the music never stopped and the selection was the best they've ever heard!

I recommend Golden Note to everyone to host your event. They hosted my wedding it is now months later and my guest still cannot stop talking about how great my DJ was. The dance floor was NEVER empty and everyone, young and old was dancing all night.When I began planning my wedding there were three things that had to be perfect; the food, the photographer and the DJ. The food and the photographer were perfect, but perfect does not justify Golden Note entertainment. He was beyond perfect and there are no words that could describe how happy he made me. I strongly recommend them to you. They would entertain your event with professionalism, enthusiasm and give you an event beyond your imagination. I would without any reservation recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ. They will give you an event that your guest will be talking about for years to come.

I oringally saw Golden Note before I was actually planning my wedding at a Bridal show that I attended for my best friend who was getting married. I was instantly impressed with Golden Note, but I thought to myself that they were probably way too over priced for my budget and ruled them out instantly but never forgot about them. When my turn came to start wedding planning I told my husband that I wanted to sit down with someone from Golden Note to see just how pricey they were. I know it sounds kind of like torture, why go meet with someone I can't afford but I also didn't want to assume I couldn't. We set up a meeting with Jillian and when we arrived we were greeted by Gerry, the owner, and I swear him and my husband hit it off instantly as if they were separated at birth. They talked sports and exchanged tales and even knew a few of the same people. It really took the edge off the meeting. Jillian then showed us all Golden Note provided and several videos of each option. We were greatly impressed and she really seemed to understand what we wanted and what we didn't. And I found out that they were reasonably priced depending on what we were looking for. I was very happy and knew they would be our DJ but didn't want to let on that fact until I had time to talk to my husband in private. Meanwhile my brother told me he knew someone who DJed and told him to email me on facebook, as it would turn out my brother's friend Keith worked for Golden Note. So as if I didn't love the idea of hiring Golden Note, now I was even more sold. Keith is from my hometown, knew my brother and seemed just perfect for our event. He invited us to meet him at a local bridal show where my husband got to see Golden Note in action for the first time and why they appealled to me! Gerry and Jillian were also there, and when we all reunited it was like a family reunion and Keith was our new family addition, it just felt ideal. We booked that night and never regretted it. Keith befriended us on facebook (thru my brother's help) and answerred any questions we had and made a lot of great suggestions to us. We met with him the week before the wedding and he had some really great ideas for songs and a new way to give away the centerpieces and bouquet (that my guests are still raving about the ideas). He even spliced together our entrance song of Welcome to the Jungle with Bob Shephard's voice (Yankee's Announcer), still gives us chills! He didn't leave out a detail that was so totally us! Loved the fact that it was the dj company I always wanted at a price that I could afford and performed by someone from my hometown. All my guests really enjoyed it and it showed by the amount of people on the dance floor all night! We even splurged and got the Black Light Dance! It was a blast! I feel like part of the Golden Note Family now!

We loved everything about Golden Note for our wedding. We originally attended one of the company's 'engagement parties' to see their showcase of DJ's, and we fell in love with them! Their whole presentation was very organized, enthusiastic, and professional-looking. We immediately loved Jim McBride, so we booked him for our wedding. He was great! He worked with us closely before the wedding to find out our tastes and preferences, and he delivered everything he promised on the day of the wedding. He was extremely professional, and was also very funny, outgoing, friendly, and personable. We loved everything about our experience with him. Thank you Jim!

Jose at Golden Note did a phenomenal Job; at one point not one person was on their chair!!!!

I knew I was going to chose them as my DJ, from the moment I heard Bob sing at a bridal show! He was so amazing and sweet! They were very professional, and did everything right! The best in the business!!!

Professional & well-dressed. Expensive but what DJs aren't? Energetic. Good MC.

Our DJ, Sebastian, was amazing! From the time that we entered the reception until the time we left the dance floor was NOT empty! We did chose some songs, but mostly left the choices up to him and he did great. We received so many compliments about the music and some even asked for their information to use at their wedding or their next big party. I would recommend them very highly!!!Thank you so much for making our wedding SO MUCH FUN!!!

They were great! Everyone had a blast and was dancing all night!

Our DJ, Billy Delaney, was beyond fabulous. If you love classic rock, this is your guy!We had him provide music for the ceremony as well as the reception. Pre-ceremony music began as our guests arrived, and went right on through to the reception!Not only did he keep the dance floor PACKED (sometimes there was swaying room only!), but he was professional, fun, and incredibly personable. He knows how to throw a rockin party- I don't think he played one bad song all night.He kept his speaking parts (intros for the bridal party, first dance, father daughter dance, toasts, cake cutting, and bouquet toss) brief and to the point, while still doing an fantastic job and making everyone laugh.Our in-office experiences were always positive- Gerry runs a great company. We met with our DJ Billy a few weeks prior to our wedding to go over music choices (which included us providing him a "do not play" list) and he totally put us at ease.Our friends (young and old) keep telling us that they have never been to a wedding that played such great music, keeping those from their teens to their 60's all on the floor at the same time.Golden Note delivers a fine product- I would hire them (and Billy!) again in a heartbeat.

Gerry was beyond a wonderful choice for my wedding day. His attention to detail and the sensitivity to both the young and old guests put a smile on so many faces I hadnt seen in such a long time. I couldnt be more thrilled with choosing golden note.

beyond outstanding to work with. When you hire the best entertainer of the year-- he delivers. I LOVED Gerry!

This Dj came highly recommened to us before we went to see him. This company has many DJ's but we wanted to meet with the top one first (I think he is the owner) His name is Gerry. Right off the bat he was able to provide my husband and I with the reassurance we needed to let us know that the dance floor was going to be packed that night. He was helpful throughout the entire time we planned and always made sure the night would go perfectly. He has a great personality and made everyone laugh all night long. His assistant John, did amamzing throughout the night as well. He wasn't lying when he said he got the party started and made sure it would stay that way. The dance floor wasn't empty once. He took requests and read the crowd so well throughout the night.

We had Bob, he sung my wedding song while I walked down the aisle. It was just like a fairytale. I love them. We would chose them again and again.

Golden Note Entertainment is by far the best D.J. company out there! They are soo upbeat and relaxed at the same time. They have so much to offer and will get your guest up and dancing. They had gotten my shy Husband to get up and dance in front of 100 strangers at a bridal show!
They are the best!

This company is the best DJ/Band out there! No one at our wedding sat down the entire time. Allof our friends still talk about how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been invited to.

They were the best, our family and friends were from more of a conservative asian background, but they brought everyone to the dance floor, and the guests had the time of their lives at our wedding!

We had Jerry, the president of he company for our wedding. He was wonderful and had everyone dancing. Also he stepped into do the blessing when our officiant didn't show. Likes when you tell him some of the music you want played1

They are the best DJ's out there!!! We had Bob... he was amazing! He also sings! He sang the song I danced to with my father.. I couldn't be happier! The whole night was awesome. He had peolpe up from the minute the reception started until the very last song! Outstanding!!!!!!

Totally awesome people! They were amazing. They played all the songs I requested and nothing that I didn't want played. They kept everyone dancing. He looked like he was having a blast too! Highly reccommended.

Golden Note created a fun celebratory atmosphere. They let me pick what music I did and did not want played at my reception, and have extras that you can add on for even more fun. We decided to do the blacklight dancing, and it was a huge hit. It also made the video more fun to watch! I would recommend them to anyone at any time, they are worth the price 100%!!

Its very easy to pop a cd in a tray, hit play, and walk to the bar. Its another thing to have the outstanding ability to uplift every single person in a room and have them leaving saying, "Wow, I think that was one of the best times of my life!" Golden Note Entertainment is without a doubt THE BEST entertainers out there. Every time I see a show case my arm hairs take their ritualistic upward stance as I see every face with a huge smile. They arent just entertainers-- they are mood creators who can guarantee a great time for all. www.goldennote.com
