More about Gyl

Who is your all-time favorite artist?

Empire of the Sun. I’m hooked on their blend of dreamy electronic vibes and indie rhythms. It’s the kind of sound that sticks with you.

What’s your favorite part of DJing weddings?

Being chosen as a couple’s wedding DJ is truly one of the greatest honors. I mean, it’s one of the biggest days of their lives, and getting to help create that unforgettable energy in the room? It’s hands down one of my favorite parts of what I do.

I love being able to move effortlessly through different genres, reading the room and keeping the vibes just right. But honestly, nothing beats the moment when you see people light up; whether they’re laughing, smiling, or sprinting to the dance floor because they just heard that song they didn’t even know they needed. Those moments? That’s why I do this.

How would you describe your MC style?

I would describe my MC style as energetic, but classy! It is a priority of mine to be aware of the energy in the room and contribute to it positively. Things can quickly change, and while I strive to announce what is expected, I can pivot and make the necessary changes in announcements if needed.

How do you like to keep the dance floor bumpin’ all night?

I’d describe my MC style as energetic, but always classy. I make it a point to stay tuned in to the vibe of the room and bring the kind of energy that lifts everyone up. Things can shift quickly at events, and while I’m all about keeping things on track and making the key announcements, I’m just as ready to pivot when needed and on the fly!

Why should someone hire you to DJ their wedding?

Couples should hire me to DJ their wedding because I genuinely take pride in both my DJ skills and my people skills. I’m always listening, whether it’s feedback, a special request, or just the energy in the room, and I use every event as a chance to grow and level up.

For me, it’s not just about playing great music (though trust me, I’ve got that covered). It’s about creating an unforgettable vibe, seamless mixes, a packed dance floor, and making sure the couple always feels like the stars of the show. At the end of the day, I’m there to bring the energy, the joy, and the soundtrack to one of the most important days of your life.

What are your hobbies outside of DJing?

When I’m not behind the DJ booth, you’ll usually find me adventuring with my wife and our 4-year-old son—whether we’re traveling, exploring local trails, or just soaking up time outdoors. We’ve got an energetic labrador named Maddux who keeps things lively on our hikes, and I love playing baseball and soccer with my little guy (he’s got quite the kick!). I also meet up with my whiskey club once a month … good company, good conversation, and the occasional “this one’s smoother than expected” moment.

What They’re Saying About Gyl:

“We worked with DJ Gyl for our wedding, and he was OUTSTANDING! Gyl came early and was ready to go before our guests even arrived. Gyl even gave my seven-year-old nephew a shoutout and played his favorite song, “Shake it Off” by Taylor Swift to make him feel special! Gyl also played songs from Muse (my favorite band) and Alice in Chains (my husband’s favorite band) during dinner which we both appreciated and made dinner fun. Gyl kept our dance floor filled all night long! Gyl did an amazing job reading the crowd and played music that all our guests could dance to!”

“Gyl called a few days ahead of our event to ask if we needed anything else and to confirm all the plans. The day of our party, he played the music and the appropriate volume, played all the songs we requested, was able to get the guests to dance, and was very prompt in making announcements. If we are ever in need of another DJ, Impulse Entertainment is the only company I would consider. Thank you, Gyl!!!.”

“Our guests could not stop commenting to us how good the music was!!! Gyl was so nice! The lighting he brought was beautiful and he went over and beyond what was expected! We would recommend Gyl and Impulse Entertainment over and over again!”

“Gyl was wonderful! The music volume was perfect throughout the day, he was fun, personable and professional, and very easy to work with! He was able to pack our dance floor and having him be our DJ really added a touch of class to our celebration!”

“DJ Gyl is excellent at his profession. He knew our crowd and how to keep them partying all night long! So many compliments about him from my guests afterward! I can’t say enough good things about Gyl and Impulse!
