Shout out to DJ Gaza


So my baby sister got married this weekend. The reception was at the new Grandview in Poughkeepsie. I was a little wary of it being a factory-style wedding, but I have to say it was absolutely flawless. Food was great, service was impeccable and all my sister's guests had a really great time.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was DJ Gaza, a turntablist from Brooklyn who made the wedding feel more like a dance club than a cheesy affair. He stayed away from too much MCing, letting the bride and groom be in the spotlight.

DJ Gaza, aka Gary Hoffmann, spun Blondie, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, A-ha (a request from the ring bearer), Outkast and Deee Lite, to name a few.

He even played some polkas, a nod to all the partying Polish-Americans in attendance.

Most of all he was really kind, checking in with my sister and her husband to make sure they were happy and keeping them informed.

Book him.

Donovan and her entourage will all be out of business soon because not only do they lack common sense, they lack business sense. They have no style, brains or class and thats my opinion.

Donovan has no talent of any kind especially when it comes to style and fashion
