Weddings

JANICE & DORON
"DJ KevG was the perfect DJ for our wedding! I am very picky about music and all I wanted my wedding to be was a dance party and Kevin knew exactly what to do! He hit on different genres to keep the whole crowd moving and happy for the entire time. I definitely recommend him for any event that you have!"

CUBBY/BRYANT
"My wife and I had our wedding celebration and six months later I'm still hearing friends and family tell me it was the best party they've ever been too. DJ Mike Dominico was not only super cool and accommodating to our music needs, but he knows his music and knows how to get a dance floor packed, he provided the perfect soundtrack to our evening!"
- Paul "Cubby" Bryant, Morning Host 103.5 KTU New York City

HOLLI & CHARLES
"Hello Kevin, A BIG THANK YOU for providing excellent music! Yesterday at our wedding. We had a little Jewish, a little Irish and a whole lot fun for everyone at every age! The music complimented our event like a fine wine. We did the jig, the hora, and much to my surprise the traditional Jewish chair lift! Thank you for playing all our requests and providing excellence in entertainment!"

KATHLEEN & VINNY
"Katie Vinson was an exceptional event planner, helping me with my every need and question--for 8 months! Gabrielle was an exceptional wait staff manager and bridal attendant. DJ KevG was an exceptional DJ. Really I cannot say enough about how seamlessly he strung together all my many and varied song requests. Great personality too."

DONNETTA & SHALEMA
"Now that we know DJ KevG's skills set, we can truthfully say that we can't possibly imagine our wedding reception going as well as it did without him. Without even knowing us, DJ KevG was able to take a small list of suggestions and completely match our musical tastes, build on that and keep the party going to the point where our guests simply didn't want to leave! He was able to set the mood throughout all phases of our reception and his final song dedication to us was tremendously thoughtful. We are forever grateful to him for sending off in style!"

BONAR/JAMES
"There are no words to describe how amazing DJ KevG and Gould Artist Management are. The music was amazing and we really could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!! KevG is extremely professional and so personable that we felt as if we had known him for years. We spoke to him literally the day before with our music requests, and in spite of the last minute handicap, he put us at ease THAT same night confirming he had gathered all of our requests. At the reception, his ability as a DJ amazed us all as everything he played was just so on point. Without a doubt he made our special night that much more special, ending the evening with a song dedication that was completely in tune with our character, showing just how much attention he had paid during our conversation. My only regret is that i did not reach out to him sooner, having made things so amazing with only one night to prepare I could just imagine how it would have been had he had more time. We sincerely thank you, KevG and the whole team at Gould Artist Management, from the bottom of our hearts and are looking forward to having you at all events we may have in the future!!! Thank you again..."

JOAMEE & DANIEL
"Thank you Gould Artist Management so much for all your hard work on our wedding day! You guys did an amazing job and everyone raved about how fun the wedding was. Thank you for keeping the music going and for all the line dancing music."

LISA C. WATSON
"DJ KevG did an incredible job at our wedding. He was extremely receptive and easy to work with right from the start when he called to get a feel for what we wanted and what we like. He had everyone, young and old, on the dance floor right up until the end of the reception. All of the songs that he chose were high energy, and there was never a dull or slow moment. I would absolutely recommend DJ KevG for any kind of event. He has such a solid understanding of the people in the room and what everyone wants to hear. Thanks DJ Kev"

LOU TINELLI
"Thank you GAM for doing a fabulous job at my wedding reception on the Hornblower Hybrid, Sunday October 13, 2013. We are getting rave reviewers from our over 100 guests. It truly was a very memorable occasion and the playing of America the Beautiful and God Bless America at the statue of Liberty, blew everyone away. It was great. Thanks again for making my wedding one of the best parties ever!"

JULIE KIM
"My wedding couldn't have been more perfect. All of my requested songs were played exactly as specified. Some of them were not easy to find because they weren't in English, but DJ KevG and Gould Artist Management found them. They were well prepared and made sure things were taken care of. He was very focused and attentive to every detail of my wedding and pointed out things I missed. In addition, he took the time out to make his way over to me when I didn't have time to plan for the event. I don't know what I would have done if DJ KevG and Gould Artist Management wasn't around. Without him following up regularly, the wedding wouldn't have been a success. Finally, the emcee Parvez was phenomenal. Parvez and Kevin together were a perfect combo. They brought the dance floor alive and kept a rather conservative audience enjoying a night of dancing and fun. Thanks for your professionalism, and making my wedding a success. A grateful bride... Julie Kim"

KRISTIN & DEZ
"Hey Kevin! No, thank you! Everyone is still talking about the event including “the awesome DJ!” We could not stop praising you. We’d be happy to have another celebration with the crew again very soon. May have to wait until after the babes are born so Kristin can finally enjoy some champagne. Thanks again Kev!"

HUNTER/CUNNINGHAM
"My first and only conversation with DJ Peter, I told him “my family loves to dance so after we get all the boring wedding stuff out of the way, I want everyone up and dancing to the point they can’t sit!” Let’s just say he exceeded everything I could imagine. We danced so much the next day my legs were incredibly sore! Thank you so much Peter for making my wedding what it was! Thank you Danielle for all your coordination, and thank you to Kevin who met me and my fiancé in the blistering cold to scout the venue with us to assure everything for the day was perfect!"

THOMAS
"The team of Gould Artist Management helped make my wedding even more memorable. Kevin, along with MC Carl teamed up to figure out what was needed for my event and went above and beyond to make it a most memorable experience. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you again! Again, thank you for everything team Gould!"

ASHLEY MARKEY
Kevin and Nero were amazing! No words can describe how great they made our reception. The music was perfect and a great mix! Nero as the MC is a must! Communication from beginning to the end of our wedding day was impeccable. You HAVE TO BOOK THESE GUYS! You will not regret it. It was such a great time and one that I will never forget. My friends and family still talk about them.

CHRISTIAN DE SATA
Kevin Gould, president of Gould Artist Management went above and beyond on my wedding this April. We booked a DJ with him to play at our wedding in Miami because we wanted that authentic NYC vibe. He sent us DJ Jenna Red and I must say, SHE WAS SPECTACULAR. She knew exactly how to keep the crowd dancing all night long and was a true professional. I have never seen a dance floor so packed and with so many people dancing for hours on end. Simply spectacular. GAM made the whole process effortless from booking the talent to making sure they got to Miami, got to the hotel and to the venue on-time and with absolutely no hiccups. It was the one part of our wedding I never had to worry about. Thanks Kevin Gould!

Birthdays

MARYUM'S BIRTHDAY
"I recently had my 60th birthday extravaganza on the Hornblower Esprit Cruise Ship. From start to finish I experienced customer service like never before. Me being in the hospitality business I am tuned into these things. My guests are still talking about it and everyone mentions the food as a high point but particularly DJ KevG!!! The Entertainment staff was on point!! Since I had a 20s themed party, I asked for rag time music to be played as my guests arrived. Then I asked for R&B/Hip-Hop and 90s Hip-Hop and all my requests were met and done well!!! I will definitely recommend this cruise for any event where you want to impress your guests. Thanks Hornblower, DJ KevG, and Erika for making this milestone in my life so memorable."

GORDON CHAMBERS BIRTHDAY
"I hosted a best friend's birthday party on Hornblower with about 25 of us in attendance. The boat was amazing with the large windows and panoramic views. The food was tasty, the drinks were good and the staff was fantastic. We danced to the music spun by a great DJ (DJ KevG) who took us through the latest and greatest hits. Once we got started we didn't sit down. Overall, we plan to get back on the water for another celebration and our first choice is Hornblower. For the pricing, the staff, the festive entertainment, the light menu and the quality of the boat, there is nothing like it!"

Your services, the food, and the view, were the reasons we had such a great evening with our family and friends. I gave you some idea of what we were looking for and your services far exceeded my expectations. You knew what to play and when to play it. I could not have scripted it better myself. You touched us all in a special way. Many of our guests commented on how good the DJ was. I will be happy to recommend your services to my friends and colleagues. You are a professional. Thank you again."

FARRAH RUBANI END OF SUMMER BASH

"My husband and I heard Kevin and his crew at an event on a cruise ship. We were so impressed we hired Gould Artist Management to DJ our end of summer bash and couldn't have been more happy with our decision.

I will definitely hire Gould Artist Management for future events and highly recommend them… 5 stars!!!"

You kept the energy level up and the adults and the kids appreciated the rhythm and the songs. Thank you for creating such a great atmosphere and being so professional."
- Nisa and Jeff Tannenbaum

MAYA GOMES BAT MITZVAH
"Every aspect was wonderful - a friend told me DJ KevG was "the best DJ EVER" and she's a tough sell! The party motivators and dancers Erika and Griselle were absolutely delightful and adorable - just like we were hoping they would be (not too "old" in style of any kind). They were there to have fun and make sure everyone else did too and that's exactly what happened. Parvez was great at executing what we had spoken about, but more importantly, following impromptu opportunities as they arose, like the game of limbo that took place after two people were simply holding out a long boa wrap. It was, simply, FUN FUN FUN and WONDERFUL! Thank you again for all."
- Susie Gomes

KESSLER BAR MITZVAH
"I hired Gould Artist Management for my son David’s Bar Mitzvah at the Affinia Manhattan Hotel and couldn’t be happier or more thankful for the company’s guidance. Kevin’s personal touch and careful listening resulted in a part where everyone in attendance had an awesome time, teens and adults alike! I’m still getting complements on how seamlessly the party games and organized dances meshed with a full variety of music, including all genres, pleasing everyone. This was a joyous celebration and many thanks go to DJ KevG for his ability to make the entertainment planning flow easily and professionally."
- Kessler Family

WOODLANDS HIGH SCHOOL
"Kevin and crew provided our school with a truly memorable night. The music and ambiance set a festive mood for our students, and the wide variety of songs kept them happy and on the dance floor. Unlike some other events I've attended in the past, Kevin maintained the students as the primary focus of the night, rather than trying to take over the spotlight himself. He and his crew at Gould Artist Management afforded Woodlands quite literally the greatest prom night it has ever experienced!"

It was an experience that we will always treasure. For the 5th grade students of PS 98, they will always remember the Hornblower cruise as the highlight of their last year in elementary school. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our children!"
