In The mix with Greg Young

Every DJ shows up with speakers and a microphone. If we are being honest, that’s the easy part. What really makes the difference is the experience they create for you and your guests. It all comes down to music selection, knowledge, flow, and, most importantly, reading the crowd.

By beat-mixing, Greg blends the best parts of each track and introduces new songs seamlessly, keeping the energy high and the dance floor full. Knowing exactly when a song has peaked and when to switch it up is what builds momentum and makes his parties legendary.

If you love to party, a DJ who actually mixes isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential. Check out some song transitions from weddings that Greg recently hosted.

What EVERYONE Is Saying

We’re proud of the work we do on behalf of our amazing clients. What makes us even happier is the amazing things they have to say about their experience. Have a look for yourself!

We had the absolute BEST experience with DJ Greg Young at our wedding on June 7th — he was truly one of the stars of the day! From our very first conversation, we felt an instant connection. Greg was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and easy to work with every step of the way.

During our planning call, he took the time to really get to know us — not just our music preferences, but our personalities and the overall vibe we were hoping for. We knew right away that with Greg on our team, the day would run smoothly — and it absolutely did.

One moment that really stuck with us was how kind and supportive Greg was to my dad, who was feeling nervous about giving his FOB speech. That level of care and attentiveness meant so much to our whole family, and we are so grateful.

On the big day, Greg nailed it. His energy, timing, and song choices were spot on — the dance floor was packed all night. People who haven’t danced at a wedding in ten years were out there having the time of their lives! Now three weeks out, our guests are still raving about how incredible the music was.

The entire experience was more than we could have ever asked for. Greg didn’t just DJ our wedding — he brought it to life. We feel so lucky to have had him and can’t recommend him highly enough. If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, DJ Greg Young is your guy.

If it were possible to give 6 stars I would. My wife and I are very laid back people and not overly enthusiastic about planning anything so you can imagine a wedding was a daunting task. Greg was phenomenal throughout the entire process. He walked us through every one of his services, and helped us visualize how each would look and feel on the day. He never pushed us in any direction and maintained a level of excitement that was both professional and energizing for the two of us. As the event approached he worked with us to get every detail correct and to really get a feel for what we wanted musically. Again, my wife and I are not big on detailed planning so we gave him some general ideas, but for the most part trusted him to curate something amazing. To say he DELIVERED would be a gross understatement. The ceremony and dinner service was flawless, neither my wife nor I had to think about a thing and Greg’s MC-ing and song choices were amazing. When the dance floor opened up, the guests practically RAN to it and they remained on that dance floor until the final song of the evening. Our families were adamant that they had never seen anything like it. Not only did the two of us love every selection he made, but we heard endless stories of how great he was from practically all of our family and friends. Greg, thank you so much for being such a huge part of our special day and for absolutely crushing every aspect of it.

Greg was the perfect addition to our wedding day team. From the very first email communication, he set himself apart from the various other vendors we had spoken to throughout the wedding planning process. He is very responsive to all communication, and had a simple answer or solution to every question we had along the way!

Leading up to the wedding, he helped navigate the setting of the timeline, selection of songs, and was truly invested in the success of our day.

On wedding day, he was professional and worked very well with the other vendors we had booked, helping to resolve issues as they arose. He was fun to chat with, and seamlessly worked through last minute changes without missing a beat.

For the dance party – it was everything we could have imagined! Greg kept the dance floor packed with guests of all ages and made it a night to remember. We still have guests telling us it was the best wedding party they had been to, and that is due in no small part to Greg.

I cannot recommend him enough!! He went above and beyond the call of duty every step of the way. If you are looking to create a night that everyone will remember and enjoy, Greg is a must!!

We can’t say enough great things about having DJ Greg as our wedding DJ in April! He came highly recommended from our good friends that hired him for their wedding, and he did not disappoint. From the first conversations to the last song of the night, everything was seamless and so much fun. Greg was able to feel the vibes from the guest and kept the dance floor packed. Out of all the planning for our wedding, Greg made this part really easy and fun, and we’d recommend him every time!

We are so happy we hired Dj Greg and Portside Productions for our April wedding. We utilized their DJ, lighting, and photobooth services and threw the party of a lifetime- which wouldn’t have been possible without Greg. From the first email, to first meeting, to the wedding day and follow up, we felt so in touch, understood, and supported by Greg. The communication and professionalism was unmatched, not a single detail was left to chance. We especially loved how much Greg was willing to work with our specific music taste- our guests are still raving about the music, and how the dance floor was full all night. I can not recommend this company enough.

Greg did a truly incredible job!!! The wedding would not have been nearly as great without him! He was great to work with throughout the entire process and was very communicative and helpful in the lead up to the event. He made everything so easy and painless! On the day of he was on top of everything and helped make sure the all the timing of the wedding went off without a hitch. The music was amazing and fun! He had people dancing the whole time! And Greg offers so much more than that with fun lighting and perfect MC work. I can’t say enough good things about our experience working the Greg! We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing a DJ for any event!

AMAZING DJ. I cannot recommend DJ Greg enough! Greg DJ’d our wedding this summer. We love to dance and we told him that we wanted our wedding guests to be dancing the whole night. Well he REALLY delivered. My husband is from Latin America so we wanted a mix of salsa, reggaeton, pop hits and wedding classics. Before our wedding I honestly didn’t know WHAT a difference a good DJ can make at a wedding. He mixed all the genres we wanted seamlessly, with fun transitions throughout. I truly cannot say enough good things about his skills as a DJ and vibe-setter. The dance floor was jam packed the entire night. He never took a break, and was so attuned to the vibe in the room and what people wanted (and what we wanted!). So many guests told us that ours was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, and that Greg was the best DJ at any wedding they’d experienced. I credit so much of the amazing experience and fun of our wedding to the music and environment that Greg created!

In addition, he is wonderful to work with–super professional, great communicator, friendly, and easy to click with. He even helped us with a special tailored first dance song, and dealt with some last minute changes to our speaker roster.

If dancing and music is important to you, THIS is the DJ for you. I am so glad that we went with him. Best DJ ever!!!!!! <3 <3

From the very start we were so thankful to have someone we could trust, not only day-of but throughout our wedding planning process. Greg’s organization, communication, and all around professionalism is unmatched. He made our whole planning process that much easier and we truly feel like we hit the jackpot of vendors!

Music was number one on our list of importance to make our wedding the celebration of our dreams. We couldn’t be more grateful to Greg for putting in such a long day and running the show so we could enjoy ourselves. We received rave reviews all night long and for weeks after. We give Greg all of the credit for making sure everyone had the most magical night! We truly couldn’t have done it without him!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GREG!

We chose Greg and Portside Productions to DJ our wedding in July. We were getting comments like, “my body is so sore from dancing!” And, “I kept trying to take a break, but I couldn’t because the songs were so good!” Greg was so easy to work with and you can tell he’s had experience in a variety of events. He needed very little direction from us and was able to fit our personalities into our wedding playlist. We can’t recommend Greg enough! Wedding planning is stressful enough and the music/wedding flow was one thing we never had to worry about.
