Meet a DJ Who Rocks…Gaby!

When people ask “what do you do?”, how do you answer?
I’m a wedding planner with musical cues, rockin’ wedding after wedding.

What did you do before you did this?
I was a manager at a resort overseeing the pool operation.

When and how did you get into the wedding industry?
I met Kristin at that resort and reached out to her when she was hiring for Photo Booth Rocks. On the second day of training, I was told you could “train to be a DJ.” Say what? Immediately, I started to think about what color sparkly shoes I would be wearing….

What is your favorite thing about what you do? What’s your WHY?
Hands down: DJ points! They make me feel like Usher in the movie “She’s All That.” My son Carter is my WHY, everything that I do is for him.

Tell us about your most memorable event so far.
My couple landed on a SEA PLANE and we played Fergie’s “Glamorous”…it was great 🙂

Meet a DJ Who Rocks: Gaby!

What’s the best part of your job?
I have learned to appreciate all different types of music. Also, mother/son dances get me every time now.

What motivates you to do this everyday?
$$$

What fun fact would people be surprised to learn about you?
My son was named after Lil Wayne.

What is the best compliment you’ve received from your clients?
At the end of the night when you say your goodbyes and get those warm hugs from the bride and groom. But it’s also great when the parents, friends, and families talk about how much fun they had!

What are the most common questions you get asked by brides and/or grooms?
Many are always nervous for the “all eyes on us dances” (the first dance, parent dances, etc.) so I always make sure to let them know I never want them to feel trapped in a song, so a subtle head nod always does the trick for me to fade it out. Lets them feel in control and less stressed 🙂

Best piece of advice for brides or grooms?
Have fun! Enjoy yourself.
