Joey was really great!! We booked him for a date and ended up changing it and he was really flexible and helpful! He accommodated our music Taste and did a great job playing music we and our guest wanted to hear! He always made time to meet with us prior to the date to discus details and for the big day was prompt and did a wonderful job working with our wedding party! He took care of everything we asked- made suggestions and we didn't have to worry about anything!!! The equipment/sound quality is great and he really wants you and your guests to enjoy the event! I Definitely recommend him!

Joey did a great job at the Relay For Life at Franklin Pierce University and again at the Relay For Life of Keene State College. He donated his time and energy to keep the event going all night. Everybody enjoyed the music and made it to the closing ceremonies still dancing their way around the gym. Thank you for the great entertainment and we hope to have you back next year!
-Ashley Haseltine
Relay For Life Director
Joey: We wanted to say thank you for making our wedding event a huge success. Go Get It Entertainment was the icing on the cake for our wedding. Joey and his crew were on site early to be sure everything was set up and ready for the 125 guests we had arriving. The music he played during dinner was perfect. He followed our instructions to a tee and even when last minute we changed things up he responded with pose and class and got the party rocking. Thank you for a wonderful evening - our guests are still talking about what a great job you did.
-Roland Palmer & Mark Hackett
We recently engaged the services of Joey Kowalski to perform as the DJ at our son’s wedding. We’re glad that we did! Joey was in touch with the bride throughout the process and provided all the music, from the Big Band Era, to modern rock and roll, hip hop and country, and all the requested favorites to make the day special. He MC’d the whole introduction process for the wedding party and parents of the bride and groom and it all went off without a hitch. I can emphatically recommend Joey’s fine professional services, his friendly and extremely competent manner and thank him for making a special day a complete success.

Joey and his staff were the DJs at my daughter's recent Bat Mitzvah, and they did a fabulous job! It was a family party for ages 5 - 95, heavy on the 13 year olds (my daughter's age), and Joey found music that pleased everyone. He also facilitated some Jewish traditions like a pro, even though they may have been new to him, and led the children in some games that they loved. I found him to be totally professional, prompt, courteous, and fun. I'm trying to think of what other event is coming up so I can hire him again!
-Suzanne Foreman

Joey you were GREAT! When we hired you to DJ our winter formal you were super early, the music was awesome, and the lights made it! I would definitely hire you again for an event. You're so nice and it was all really professional. Thanks for everything! With you DJing, everyone was sure to have a great time.

THANK YOU JOEY!!!
Wow! Your DJ services were incredible!! I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work in putting together such a great playlist! My day was unforgettable and Matthew has said the same…and I know it is largely due to you~ the party was the perfect energy, length and you kept the crowd moving through it all!! I really cannot express my gratitude enough! Much love and thanks
-Chelsea and Matthew St. Louis
We hired Joey sight unseen and right before our event hoped for the best. Let me say, prior to our party Joey asked for songs we might want to hear which gave him a terrific "read" on our crowd. He kept us on the dance floor alllllll night long. Our party was a blast largely because of Joey's great music/song instincts. Hire him if you want to be on your dancing feet all night. FUN!
-Kim Brady
Hancock, NH
Joey was very accommodating when I was looking for a D.J. for my daughter’s 30th Birthday Party. His responses were always prompt and professional. He kept in touch often ensuring I received what I wanted for services the day of the party. He showed up on time, set up efficiently and did a great job, even staying longer than planned! Everybody had a blast.
I would highly recommend Go-get-it and Joey anytime!
-Sue Bechard
Winchester, NH
Joey and Jimmy rocked my 80's themed sweet 16-birthday party. The music was great and their set up is very sweet! Since it was 80's themed I needed the best of the 80's music. We were all very satisfied with the music he chose. He loves what he does and enjoys it. Keep it up and thank you for being my DJ instead of someone who didn't have as cool lights as Go Get It does. Go Get It forever and I can't wait for the next dance!
-Emily Dow
Halifax, VT
In a nutshell, Joey was professional in his communication, efficient in the set up and breakdown of his equipment, offered a high quality light show, and a fantastic selection of music. The kids LOVED him and grownups spent the whole night out on the dance floor. Was very impressed by the experience and plan on using Go Get It's services in the future. Would have no issue recommending Joey to even the pickiest of my friends.
-Kate Ingram

You did an awesome job at my friends 30th a couple weekends ago will keep spreading the word at how awesome you are!!!
- Billy-Jo Kundel
Joey- Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the BEST party ever! You did an amazing job at our wedding reception and I just really can’t thank you enough! GO GET IT FOREVER!!
The music makes the party and this party RULED!! Thanks, Joey!
-Heather Hall
Thanks for making our reception exceptional. I didn't have to worry about anything because you were always three steps ahead. It was very comforting knowing that you were prompt and professional. The music sounded perfect and the play-list was a perfect choice for my wild crowd! Everyone is still raving!
Thanks,
-Kitsie LaRock!
Joey Kowalski was a pleasure to work with while I needed his services at my local downtown bar Metropolis. He always showed up well before the scheduled starting time to set up his equipment and was usually playing music before he was even scheduled to. His set up is very neat and his lights are great! He knows how to get people dancing and having a good time. You can tell that he is a very experienced dj and cares about his clients satisfaction. I have worked with many other djs and you can trust that Joey is more professional than anyone out there.

-Someone that decided to hire another DJ based on price
Hello! I just wanted to take a minute to say how nice it was to be neighbors with you and your friend Paige at the wedding fair on Oct. 23rd....you all were so polite! And nice enough to lend us your peppermints! Thanks again for helping to make the day more enjoyable, and the best of luck to you in your business and beyond! Kitterhi
-Kitterhi Durgin, District Manager/Independent Consultant Arbonne International
“I found Go Get it Entertainment on Craigslist to be honest I was not sure what to expect! Joey showed up on time and set up in a professional manner! He said for the price he would include minimal lighting but definitely went above and beyond the lighting was awesome! The music was awesome! The DJ's got into the crowd and danced with us and really go into the event. I would not hesitate to book with them again and would highly recommend them again! They even held the stick for the limbo. Thanks again everyone had a blast due to the great job "Go Get It Entertainment" did!”

“Joey Kowalski was the guest D.J. for Hinsdale High School prom last year. He put on a very professional event, and had excellent lighting, music selection, and quality sound. The students were very pleased with his production and we recommend him as a first rate D.J. for any and every event.”
-Mike McCosker
Hinsdale High School Athletic Director
“Joey and his Crew were DJ's at a private Party I attended in Marlborough. They were a last minute addition to the party, but that didn't compromise the quality one bit. Go Get It is legit. They made the party. One of the best nights of the year, no question. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any type of social gathering.”
-Alex Brown, Westmoreland, NH
“Working with Joey and his staff was an easy process. They discounted their rate for us to help contribute to our overnight Relay For Life event. Our participants enjoyed listening to their fun music all night long while walking to support a cause they believe in.”
-Jessica Blais, American Cancer Society New England Division
“Joey has DJed several dances at Colby-Sawyer College this past year and all of them have been a huge success. He arrives early to set up and sound checks everything to be sure that there are no problems (and there never are). The lights and sound equipment he brings is awesome! His music choice is definitely a hit with the campus! We have brought Joey back for 4 dances and will continue to use him in the fall!”
-Katie Marks, Colby-Sawyer College Dance Chair
“I am the President of my senior class at Pembroke Academy and we hosted the junior-senior prom last year. Deciding to hire Joey Kowalski and his team was a great idea and we were definitely very happy with the music he chose and what a success he made our prom. Thank you so much for helping to create a wonderful prom and memory for the students at Pembroke Academy! I'll definitely be recommending Go Get It Entertainment in the future.”
-Lanie Yeame, Pembroke Senior Class President,
Epsom, NH
“Joey Kowalski and Go Get It Entertainment stepped up without hesitation to support our high school community night. With their financial contribution, we were able to provide our community with a stunning fireworks display and a night a free family fun. Beyond their financial donation, Joey and Go Get It Entertainment provided extensive press through their massive online social network. It is easy for large corporations to support local organizations and events, but it is amazing when a small locally owned business gives back to its community.”
-Jared Goodell

“Joey DJ'd my son's 18th birthday party and we were very pleased. Joey arrived early, set up in a timely fashion and was reasonably priced. He had the people dancing and moving and singing all night! I'd definitely hire him again!”
-Todd Tousley
Keene, NH
“Joey hosted a surprise birthday party for my 18th birthday at the K of C building in Keene. Not only did he have all of my friends dancing, he had my mom and her friends out there joining the party. Joey takes pride in his work, and has earned the amount of respect he has. I highly recommend Joey for any of your DJ needs.”
- Elliot Tousley
Keene, NH
“Joey Kowalski runs very organized and professional dances for local high school teenagers. As past chaperones, my husband and I have seen first-hand how controlled this environment is. Once teens are admitted, they are not allowed to leave during the course of the dance unless they are leaving for the night. Drinks are not allowed to be brought into the dances either. By controlling the environment, Mr. Kowalski ensures that teenagers can have a safe yet fun night filled with dancing, friends and the latest music. I wish that something like this had been available to my children back when they were teenagers. We look forward to working again with Mr. Kowalski in the future.”
-Kim & David Smothermon, Derry NH
“Joey has always been a fantastic DJ. I hired him once for a high school dance and all the kids loved him. Joey even let some of the kids show us what they could do by letting them rap on stage. He is very reasonable with his prices and I would definitely hire him again.”
-Erin Rafus
Brattleboro, VT
“I decided to hire Go Get It to DJ my grad party and I couldn't have been happier. Joey played great music all night and kept everybody dancing until it was time to leave. I definitely plan on hiring them again in the future.”
-Trevor Bonnette
Hinsdale, NH
“Joey was the DJ at our wedding and we were completely satisfied with his service. Because we had very distinct ideas of the music we wanted, Joey needed to do a substantial amount of downloading in order to develop our play list. Not only did he do this willingly, he did it very quickly when my delay allowed him only a short amount of time to do so. We were worried for Joey on the day of our ceremony as he had a family emergency yet he did not take us up on our offer for him to bow out. He sent a team of co-workers for the beginning and even joined them later - everything went perfectly. After that, I can assure you that he will do what it takes and will not let you down.”
-Michelle Pape

“Hi, my name is Alyssa Tamlyn-Hayden. For the school year, 2009-2010, I was the Dance Chair for the Campus Activities Board at Colby-Sawyer College, in New London, NH. I decided to hire Joey Kowalski and his company to be the DJ for our school dances that we have every year. I was very impressed with their professionalism before, during and after all the events that they were a part of. The reviews were very good from the staff of CAB as well as the general student body. It was also very easy to request songs that weren’t currently being played. The staff worked well with the students to play the requested songs during course of the dances and I was very appreciative of that. In the end, I believe that it was a wise decision to hire and work with Joey Kowalski and his company.”

Wedding DJ Costs
Wedding DJ pricing. So, how much does a wedding DJ cost?
You pretty much have most of the vendors chosen for your wedding, but now onto the wedding DJ pricing. So how much does a wedding DJ cost? You will see many different wedding DJ prices. So, keep these points in mind and you will find the right one.
Cheap Wedding DJ Prices These prices will usually be in the ranges of $75 per hour or less. Many of these wedding DJ’s are part-time hobbyists. They might have no idea how to coordinate and deliver what you want at your wedding. Just call these companies and you will notice a huge difference with their customer service skills. This might be a risky deal because they might show up with low grade equipment (if they even show up at all). There is a possibility that you can spend $200-$400 on your wedding DJ and be happy, but you have to understand what cheap wedding DJ prices really mean.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Never hire a wedding DJ that costs less than your veggie tray
Average Wedding DJ Pricing So, your biggest criteria were your budget, and you went way overboard. So, instead you and your fiancé decided to hire someone to “Just Play Music.” Do you want the good news or bad news first? Okay straight to the good news, you just saved a couple of hundred bucks! Unfortunately, your decision might cost you much more down the road. This category of wedding DJ’s is priced all over the place. Usually many are larger wedding DJ companies that subcontract 15-25 wedding DJ’s every weekend. They improve their profit margin this way (more DJ’s=smaller profit margin) to support advertisements and overhead. There are many good DJ’s that are subcontracted by these companies. However, they might be so big that you might not even know who your wedding DJ will be until the week of.
I said earlier that there is a difference between a full-time company and part-time hobbyist. A full-time company depends on your referrals to generate future leads and business. This means that they are 110% dedicated to your wedding reception. The wedding DJ cost needs be looked at with their references. Ask for recent clients’ names, phone numbers, and e-mails. When I say recent I mean 6 months or less when available. Any reputable company will be able to give you this information.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Let the buyer beware
Expensive Wedding DJ Prices These people may charge anywhere from $1500-$4500. There may be added value, such as an additional DJ/wedding coordinator, lighting, staging, dancers, or props. Other times, this price is determined by an owner with an over inflated ego. If their wedding DJ cost is expensive, then this does not mean that they have instant credibility. This price might be marked up since they do not have enough word of mouth referrals yet. You should not have to take out a second mortgage to pay for your wedding DJ cost.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Get everything in writing, and question anything that might be overkill
How Much Does a Wedding DJ Cost So, how much does a wedding DJ cost? This depends on how comfortable you are with the lighting, experience, equipment, music, and fun options. You should try unique things because your wedding is far from ordinary. This does not mean you need to break the bank with wedding DJ prices, but see what options are really worth the cost. The typical wedding DJ cost can vary from $450-$1200, and be dependant upon the amount of time your event is and miles of travel for the DJ. In the short term the wedding DJ price will be a factor in your budget, and in the long term 80% of the success of your wedding is based on the entertainment. If you want to have a great time, you will interview multiple companies.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Stay away from the cheapest, don’t go with the most expensive and do not hire anyone that is simply average.
To choose a DJ for your reception day requires a great amount of time and dedication. your reception DJ should have songs for all kinds of people to make them happy and enjoy your reception.
Sometimes it may be difficult to judge the mood of the audience as there are different types of people at every party. Keep the latest music with you and listen to all kinds of radio stations to get a wide range of music.
