DJ lessons
“I was looking to educate myself on the art of DJing. I was fortunate enough to find DJ Greg Nice! He is a great instructor, very talented, nice, funny, and patient. I would definitely recommend him to teach anyone! He is also a very skilled and knowledgeable DJ. Thank you so much, I had a great time learning the trade!”
Teaching kids & adults
“DJ Greg Nice was so amazing for my son’s 7th birthday party. DJ Nice is so talented and he was so great teaching the kids how to Deejay. He even taught the adults and we had a blast! My husband and I loved learning how to spin and all the kids learned something and had fun. My son loved his birthday party and is inspired by DJ Nice. I appreciate the time, patience, and energy he gave to all the guests!”
Energy & professionalism
“If we were able to give DJ Greg a 6++ rating we would. He was so good at getting the party started. He was very easy to work with, patient, he played every song we requested. His energy was so much fun and he really relays that he loves what he does. Hire DJ Greg — you won’t be sorry; he literally doesn’t skip a beat!”
Professional & detail-oriented
“Greg DJ’d my daughter’s Sweet 16 Party. What an amazing job he did. He was professional and catered to my daughter’s every need. He made sure the little details were tackled and we all had an amazing time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
Accommodating
“My daughter wanted a DJ for her party. Greg was the best! He was so accommodating and the kids had a great time. Will definitely be using Greg again for our next shindig. Great job Greg!”
On time & prepared
“The Newbury School PTA used DJ Greg for our fifth grade pool party. He was on time, prepared and the kids had a blast listening to great music. We recommend him for your events. He certainly brings the energy to any event!!”
