ABOUT US
Gregg MacDonald : Gregg started out performing at house parties, general functions, bars and nightclubs and hasn't stopped since. He left the house party and bar scene behind and took the necessary steps in refining his skills to focus on weddings. Straight-forward, organized, easygoing and he knows his music. Gregg keeps a busy schedule because of his easygoing personality and no-nonsense style of DJ entertainment. Born and raised in North Weymouth, Gregg has lived on the South Shore his entire life and currently resides in Duxbury with his wife Keri and sons Dillon and Nolan. Gregg is a very down-to-earth, regular guy and a diehard Patriots, Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox fan. He enjoys a Montecristo #2 and a glass of Macallan when he can find the time and plans to open a cigar shop when he retires.
Gregg on wedding DJs : "The general opinion is wedding DJs are cheesy and annoying. I wouldn't go that far, but I will agree there are DJs with huge egos who need attention and have a hard time putting the mic down. I'm not an innovator, but my reputation was built on less is more, getting all ages on the dance floor without being cheesy or drawing attention. When it comes to music, I find that too many DJs play it safe and are afraid to throw anything different in the mix. Same music, different wedding. While that's ok for some people, I know that brides and grooms today want more, something different that will separate their wedding from the next. I never wanted to be just another DJ going through the motions. Even when I was just starting out... it didn't take talent to throw a bag of cheap hats out to the crowd and play YMCA. That was being lazy. Any DJ can do that. I wanted more and the crowd deserved better. It's still about playing the right songs at the right time."
"Everyone thinks being a wedding DJ is a blast. We get paid to make people dance. While I enjoy the business and honored to have been trusted by many to be an intricate part of their special day, very few people see or understand the time and effort that goes into every performance. This is why I hear a lot of stories of under-qualified DJs who fail to exceed expectations and the end result is often a poorly-executed, boring wedding. What appears to be seamless comes from experience, attention to detail and preparation. For me to approach weddings as if no effort is required implies I'm too comfortable where I am and trust me, I'm my worst critic. After most weddings, instead of basking in the glow of putting another wedding in the books, I look back on the evening and often dwell on where I can make improvements, what I can do better. This is how I maintain my edge."
