Good Times DJ Service 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Santa Fe, NM

Hello, my name is Allen. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about the past, present, and future of my passion for music. My first DJ event was in 2010 when a couple of my friends wanted to have a New Year’s Eve party. The opportunity of using a friend’s professional DJ equipment came about. The rest is history – I haven’t stopped since! I am constantly learning more and more each day and having fun while doing it. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when I purchase a new piece of DJ equipment or get butterflies when someone books an event. I love playing music! Especially playing music people like.

We had a great experience working with Good Times DJ Service for our wedding. He was very communicative throughout the planning process, responding promptly to our questions over text, email, and phone calls. He took the time to understand our musical tastes and style, and it showed in his song selections at our reception. The dance floor was packed all night! He was professional, arrived on time, and kept everything organized. During the reception, he paid close attention to the crowd vibe and adjusted the music when needed to keep the party going strong. We would highly recommend Good Times DJ Service to other couples planning their weddings - he helped make our special day a huge success!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the opportunity to see Gabriel and his team in action quite a few times on different occasions leading up to our big day. After every event, I was blown away by how professional, fun, and engaging he and his team were. When we began the planning process, the choice was obvious to go with GDG Elevate Events with his expertise and familiarity of our venue. The entire planning process was so simple and he was there to guide us every set of the way. We even used their team for a Photo Booth because I knew they would execute and deliver. Our only wish was for someone who could respond to the energy of the crowd and he did just that. We have had so many compliments since our big day and have referred Gabriel and his team to people we know who are in need of a DJ. He truly has a gift and his main mission is to serve his clients to the best of his ability! Forever Grateful!

Guy Michel Music

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Santa Fe, NM for additional fees

Hi, I’m Guy Michel – I believe music should move people—not just fill the silence. My goal is simple: create the perfect soundtrack for your celebration. With over two decades of experience, I’ve learned how to read the room and flow with the energy. Whether it’s setting a romantic tone for your walk down the aisle, adding elegance to your cocktail hour, or turning things up as the party unfolds—I adjust the vibe in real-time to match your moment. My style is anything but traditional. It’s not just about playing music. It’s about creating an experience your guests will talk about long after the last note fades. Let’s make magic

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.
