Tom Gavin's D J Delights

Tom Gavin's DJ Delights exceeded my expectations. They took my guests requests and played a variety of genres. I would highly recommend them.

We cannot begin to thank Tom Gavin enough for the services provided for our wedding. I spoke with Tom about a month or so prior to our wedding to be sure he would have our "First Dance" song ("When You Got a Good Thing" by Lady Antebellum - or Lady Pepto Bismol as he called it!) and each time we were in contact, he knew exactly what we had discussed previously and would even mention things I had forgotten about. We even had to call a day before the wedding to be sure something would be taken care of for my entrance song and he had already thought about the same thing and assured us that he had it under control. By all means, if you are having a Martins event, you will not go wrong with utilizing Tom's services for either your ceremony music and/or reception music. Tom was awesome and he always seemed so peppy on the phone! :-)

Tom is an extraordinary artist and DJ. His style is professional and engaging and worked closely with us on our music selection. We chose to have Tom play music before the ceremony, during the cocktail hour and dinner as well as for the dancing part of the event. He played a mix of jazz, R&B, classics, and contemporary dance music and it was a big HIT. Have no doubts, go with Tom Gavin and DJ Delights, you will not be disappointed.

We were very pleased with Tom Gavin's DJ Delights. Tom helped us with choosing the right songs that fit our wedding and the price was worth it all. Tom was very professional in his work and it showed. He really made the people feel welcomed during the reception and he interact with the guests. We highly recommend Tom Gavin's DJ Delights to anyone that is looking for a DJ for parties, weddings, etc.. Tom, thank you for everything and being a part of the wedding of the year of 2009. God bless!! Darrell and Bonnie Jackson

My wife and I were very thankful to have DJ Tom Gavin for our wedding reception at the Governor Calvert House this past October (2009). I contacted quite few DJ’s initially, and Tom was the one who impressed me from the start with his enthusiasm and professionalism. From our first meeting, Dana and I could tell he was someone who really wanted to make sure our wedding reception was one to remember. This completely showed during the reception, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Everyone commented on how great the evening was, and the music was a huge part of that. In fact, many people commented on how much they enjoyed the music throughout the entire evening (from the cocktail hour, through the meal, and especially during the dancing). Tom did an amazing job in reading the crowd throughout the evening, adapting to what would keep everyone moving, all while making sure some special songs we requested were worked into the mix. We greatly appreciate Tom's extraordinary service, and would highly recommend him to DJ any other wedding receptions or other events.

Tom Gavin's DJ Delights provided a quality of service that will never be surpassed. Several years ago My wife and I were married and brought together two pre existing families. We were fortunate to have Tom Gavin as the Master of ceremonies at our reception. With five children between 7 and 10 years old he made this day as important to them as it was to us. He orchestrated the entire event and made it a calibration. His efforts put my wife and I so much at ease that we were allowed to enjoy the party along with the rest of the guests. Now several years have passed and just last month, Tom again provided his services and made my daughters wedding calibration, an occasion only for my little Cinderella.

I loved Tom and the DJ he sent out was awesome! I had a sheet of music for ceremony songs and everything went without a hitch! He kept the crowd dancing!

I booked DJ Delights for my wedding because of Tom's promise of planning AND fun. We wanted to interview the DJ, pick the music, and set the time line for the day. Tom really took the time to show us how allowing his team to have some flexibility with our "must haves" would make for the right mix. He could not have been more accurate! All of our key songs were played among so many other party favs! The dance floor was never empty, and our guests said it was the best time they'd had in a long time! Thanks Tom and our DJ John.

From start to finish I have to say Tom Gavin's DJ Delights delivered more than they promised. Jessie was my first point of contact. She was so pleasant I found myself chatting with her about subjects that had nothing to do with the music at my wedding! She helped me located a photographer, then a baker ... this girl is a walking version of the internet. Much to my surprised I literally bumped into her at a Bridal Open House where my wedding was. Her personality is like seeing an old friend but meeting her for the first time. Then she got Tom involved. I called him Mr. Encyclopedia about F-U-N (he always spelled it when he said the word, and used his enthusiastic charm in saying). He spent an hour on the phone with me sharing what he called his 'wacky stories' of FUN, exciting moments they've shared at weddings since he was in college.The day of the wedding the dj couldn't have been MORE PERFECT. Tom was there at the start to help make sure the minister's microphone was working, then 'lingered longer' as he called it, to assist in introducing the bridal party once my ceremony concluded. Our wedding was in a multi room mansion, which with 2 dj's, made it a cinch to manage. One dj (as Jessie told me) would need lots of stamina to run all over this place to keep track of us!The music was wonderful. Heard (what little I remember) more than just a few of our favorites, our guests danced, and I'm still getting calls about how much F-U-N *(thank you Tom, you have me doing it now!) the party was.These people are great. The dj (John) was outstanding ... its very obvious this group loves what they do and do what they love. Plan to book them for my company party this december.

Tom Gavin did a great job at my wedding. I gave him a specific list of songs requested by my husband for dinner and he played them and made very different songs sound like they flowed into each other very well. I told him that I wanted people to dance the whole night and he made that happen. The dance floor was packed from the beginning of the night to the end of the night. I got a ton of comments from guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been too and that we had a great DJ. I would definitely recommend Tom Gavin.

I read several reviews about Tom and his staff on this site. Am writing now to say my experience was as close to perfect as I believe possible. Both Tom and his business manager Jessie were objective and I felt honest when I approached them about the flattering and the not so flattering reviews on Wedding Wire about DJ Delights. That impressed me. They didn't play 'the blame game'. They did offer 'the rest of the story' about several hard to believe negative reviews. Based on their handling of the conversation I believed them both and was glad we did. While we did not book them for my Ceremony, Tom's crew was in place in the adjacent ballroom, and when my musician was running late began setting up a portable second sound system to handle my prelude music needs ... then they didn't ask for any money! The party was a smash ... and while I did pick a fair amount of the music (Tom suggested this might be a bad idea) the dj worked his magic and my list throughout the night and my guests until the banquet hall all asked us to leave as we had run overtime. My lasting impression about these blogs is that they seem to more often than not attract negative, almost mean spirited entries. Yes, there are some positive ones, but I felt strongly enough to let readers know these are good people who stayed in touch with me from my first inquiry through and including a follow up email and phone call one week after my wedding. My wedding day was extra special because of the Over The Top Effort from Tom, Jessie and the staff from Tom Gavin's DJ Delights.

These folks could not have been nicer, or given us more for our money.Start to finish they were fun to work with, made my planning easy, answered all my questions with a great attitude ... even helped me find a REAL bakery to create my wedding cake.Their web site is a dream to use. The dj fit right in with our crowd. While we gave Tom a long song list, I heard many of my favorites even though I was consciously entertaining a crowd of 200 guests! The pricing structure was competitive and while they were not the lowest, they weren't the highest either. For what we received for the service from start to finish, we really felt we got more than we paid for. If you're shopping for djs in the washington or baltimore area, you're doing yourself a disservice by not calling them.

Tom Gavin and his staff did a great job! All the guest loved the music and had such a great time. Tom help me pick out a set the mood I wanted for my wedding reception. Thanks for everything!!

We hired Tom Gavin's DJ Delights as they had also done my sister's wedding a number of years ago. Our experience then as it was this time was truly outstanding. My wedding was 6 times the size of my sisters. They were able to handle it ... very very well. This wedding was not in a banquet hall but at my father's home, under a very large tent. Their staff did a splendid job managing the entire evening. Our caterer simply took care of the food service, setting up the tables and chairs, and nothing beyond that. DJ Delights saved this event. They sent 2 people, one to simply manage the reception from my timeline instructions. That lady (can't remember her name) should be a full time wedding planner. She took charge in a very nice way, even to the point of keeping the groomsmen in line when it came to lining up a very rowdy bridal party who all had been drinking.The dj, came prepared with 2 sound systems as my ceremony took place next to a pond about 300 yards away from the reception tent. The minister's microphone (something we had not thought of) worked just perfectly allowing the more than 400 guests to all be involved with the ceremony. My husband and I left the party before it ended totally exhausted from having so much fun. We heard that the bash (it had no become one thanks to the dj's talent) ran more than an hour after we left.Thank you Tom, Jessie, Millie, and Bossjock RJ as Tom called him (our dj) as this was a night that was as close to perfect as we ever expected greatly due to Tom Gavin's DJ Delights.

I booked Tom Gavin's DJ Delights for my sister's wedding. The service could not have been better! My sister had a 'destination wedding' and we had organized a surprise wedding reception for her and her husband. They sent 2 dj's ... one to play the music, and the 2nd one to organize and emcee our events. This was probably the life-saver of the party as the hall was no help. My guests arrived early and they started early. They also stayed later than we booked them, and offered to not charge us. The music was perfect. My guests danced, laughed, had fun, and many are still talking about the fun! Planning on using them again.

Tom himself did our wedding. He came highly recommended by our venue for his ability to work with the unique mansion layout. Tom did not disappoint! He was the perfect blend of talkative and quiet, depending on the moment. When my friends requested a song he wasn't sure we would like, he checked to make sure we didn't mind. He pronounced everyone's names right, which in my family is not easy! I liked the online database to select songs because we could work on it whenever we had time. Tom also recommended our minister to us, which was a wonderful decision because he was great too! The price couldn't be beat.

I love Tom! He was wonderful and all of my guests had a fantastic time!!!!!!!

Tom was fantastic to work with. He was more than cooperative because he willingly sent me demo CDs of music to try out for my son & daughter to practice with for their solos and bought some music I specifically wanted played during our ceremony at no additional cost to me. He also knew how to work the audience to encourage their participation by selecting the right songs. He was able to incorporate many of the songs I wanted played at the right time. He has a great sense of humor and helped make the day most memorable!

Tom was our DJ, and he played EVERYTHING I asked and none of what I didn't. His online wedding planning guide was incredibly easy to use, and his fee was more than resonable. He is top-notch!

He was the perfect DJ...He was responsive, we negotiated a discount, he gave it to me, we booked, we paid, he showed up AND worked in harmony with the photographer so that certain reception events were synced up and I didn't have to think twice about them.
