Intern John, star of The Kane Show on Hot99.5, Z104.3, 93.9FLZ, Radio Now 98.9 and iHeart Radio; Testimonial about his experience working with Tommy Gatz Entertainment and DJ Tommy Gatz on his Comedy ToursServices Provided: Photography, Cinematography, DJ Services, and Event Planning & Coordinating
I first met Tommy Gatz of Tommy Gatz Entertainment at a charity event to raise awareness for the prevention of teens drunk driving, and I knew one day we would work together. I realized there are very few DJs who do photos, videos, DJ and do it really well. Then the comedy tour happened and it wasn’t a tour at first, it was like one show in Rockville Maryland. And then that one show turned into two shows, that turned into hey can you go to Harrisburg in two weeks, I know that is like three hours away for one show and oh by the way that’s gonna be two shows in Harrisburg. Oh by the way can you fly to Tampa and do a show? So the coolest thing about Tommy and the whole company is that they are very adaptable. Like when I was losing my mind about booking a tour, having Tommy Gatz Entertaiment ready to go answering the calls was clutch. Weddings are easy, compared to a comedy tour. Proms are easy compared to a comedy tour. Corporate events are easy, compared to a comedy tour. If he can coordinate getting photographers to Tampa Florida on a week’s notice, he can coordinate getting whatever you want to your event wherever you are. That I can promise! We’ve done 18 comedy shows in 7 cities, 6 states, and each show the professionalism is unparalleled. If you need photos or video for a wedding or corporate event, or any event, he’s your guy. If you need music or to keep the party alive he’s your guy. He’s done my entire tour with me so we could raise money for Fisher House...you want the best and Tommy is it!

We raised quite a bit of money for the YWCA and Tommy Gatz Entertainment was wonderful. They provided the sound, music and lighting. The event was all perfectly coordinated, and it’s not easy to do a fashion show. We really appreciate it! Tommy Gatz Entertainment was stellar.

It is the end of the evening and we just had a wonderful time at our Best of Party. We had 27 plus restaurants participate, we gave out Best of Awards, and it was a lot of fun. We want to thank everybody who helped us out. Tommy Gatz Entertainment provided cinematography and the set up of the multimedia television slide shows were amazing. The uplighting Tommy Gatz Entertainment provided just added the right touch to the event. We had lots of great sponsors. We could not have done it without you coming out tonight and supporting all of the great charities. Thank you so much!
Courtney and Matt: 40th Birthday Bash - Annapolis, MDServices Provided: Photography, Cinematography, DJ Services, Event Planning & Coordinating, Lighting & Decor
THANK YOU for a night we will never forget! Tommy and Patrick had the dance floor packed the entire night! Thank you for perfectly mixing our requested 80’s and 90’s tunes with today’s big hits and playing each song for just enough time before blending in the next big one! We loved having tommy and Patrick dress to the theme of our party in your Run DMC tracksuits! The lighting and dry ice in the ballroom were the icing on the cake and truly created the "club' atmosphere we wanted for our party. Thank you from us, and all our closest friends for "Rocking the Ages" at our 40th Birthday party…. And for our sore feet, legs etc. for the days following the party!
Brenda: Husband's Surprise 55th Birthday Party - Annapolis, MDServices Provided: Photography, Cinematography, DJ Services, Event Planning & Coordinating, Lighting & Decor
A quick note of thanks for all that you did to make my hubby’s surprise 55th birthday party the best! First, I want to thank Valerie for handling not only the business side of the event, but also the event planning side of the birthday party. The night was well-paced and almost effortless.
Second, but not least, I want to thank Tommy and his staff for not only the music, but for the great party atmosphere they created, which was no small task given that my guests’ ages ranged from 17 to 67! Tommy took 70s, 80s, and 90s music---music important to my husband---and updated with a great beat to make for a great dance environment enjoyed by all. Over 85 people attended and at times there was no room on the dance floor!
I also want to compliment Tommy on the lighting he provided. The lights set the mood for the party. Additionally, I appreciated the photographer and I so enjoyed the DJ interaction with the crowd. I have received so many emails from my many guests thanking me for a great time. They all loved the music. I could not have done it without you. In short, I would hire Tommy Gatz Entertainment in a flash again.
Nicole: Calverton Swim Club Social Nights - Calverton, MDServices Provided: Photography, Cinematography, DJ Services, Event Planning & Coordinating, Lighting & Decor
Last year the Calverton Swim Club hired Tommy to DJ our pre-teen nights. Pre-teen night is a pool party for members and guests going into 3rd to 9th grade. Tommy was professional to work with and great with the kids. He played contemporary, but appropriate music, and did a fantastic job. DJ Tommy Gatz would bring CDs and t-shirts to distribute to all our guests. This year Tommy not only did our three pre-teen nights, but also our high school pool party, and our Family Fun Day. Tommy was able to transition the playlist from pre-teen to high school, to families flawlessly. A great time was had by all. We will definitely ask Tommy to come back in the future.
